UPDATE 3: I've got it back to as stock as I can get it. I think I'm going to just return it and get a new one. Thank you all for your help.
UPDATE 2: As of right now, I'd like to completely remove FFF from the device, but I can only use fastboot to do it. I have absolutely no adb access. Is there a way?
UPDATE: Here is a video showing what is happening to my KF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH6oUg1NmC0
I hate to start another thread about boot loops/bricking, but I'm not sure what's going on with my fire.
I had CM7 installed successfully since the day after Christmas. This morning I woke up and my Fire was being really sluggish, so I rebooted it (I did not select reboot into recovery).
After it powered on, I was stuck at the CM7 boot screen (with the skateboarding android). I let it sit, but no luck. I went into TWRP to try and restore the backup I made of the stock rom. It looked successful, but when I rebooted I was stuck at the Kindle Fire boot screen.
Next, I tried wiping the device and re-installing CM7, but I received an error (something along the lines of E:Error unable to find /tmp/sideload/blahblah).
So I again restored my backup of the stock rom. Now when I power on my Fire I see the yellow triangle, then the kindle fire logo, yellow triangle, kindle fire logo, and it just keeps repeating. The problem is I am unable to connect to adb because the PC only seems to recognize the adb device for a few seconds after the yellow triangle, which does not give me enough time to fix the problem.
Any ideas?
looks like you'r out of battery ! the kf is rebooting !
would take the wall charger and charge for an hour
it's not possible to charge with the computer - it lasts forever
then it should respond in a stable state

Recovery shows my battery level to be at 53%. I've got it on the charger now, but I have a feeling there is something else going on.
Also, I am unable to mount my Fire's SD to my computer in recovery. It looks like it is working, but my computer never acknowledges it.
maybe because your last installation failed
nevertheless i would try to charge and then go in twrp and retry the installation
if that's not sucessful i would try to switch the kf to fastboot and copy a new rom. stock or prerooted stock or cm7 - whatever you like
in twrp there is a point "mount" - sdcard - then you should get it from computer

Thanks for the reply. Is adb required to get into fastboot? The problem is that I am unable to get into adb because my computer only sees the Fire for about 1 second. When I go into device manager, I don't see it at all.
EDIT: Yeah, I see the mount in TWRP, but it does not do anything when I select it.
Hi Im a beginner but Id like to try to help :
In case you become desperate ignore twrp's battery display and try wall charger.
Anorher idea id have is to shut down throughr twrp and start up then instead of rebooting.
ADB is needed to get into fastboot, but it's quick. If you use KFU, you can probably hit the option during the couple seconds you have available. I would say your best bet, however, is booting into twrp, doing a full wipe of system, cache, davlik cache, and maybe data, and then trying the rom install again.

So this time it looks like the installation worked in TWRP, but after reboot now I'm stuck at the CM7 boot screen. This is at least some progress, so when I get home I'll see what I can do.

Well, the battery is definitely not the issue. I've been trying to get fastboot, but the problem is the fact that I can not get adb. Has anyone else had issues with getting adb? I've already tried to install the drivers, and that doesn't work.
EDIT: I've tried issuing "adb devices" from the command prompt repeatedly as soon as I hear the ding until it disconnects a second later, but still I have had no luck.
Also, I found this thread in which someone else appears to have had a similar issue to mine.

at the moment adb is useless - you should try to get the device in fastboot mode - correctly recognised from your computer - then work with fastboot commands - if you don't get that then your next opinion is buying or making a factory cable - but we should try to avoid that ...

I can not seem to get fastboot to work either. Does fastboot rely on adb? Or do you just run the .exe file? I tried to run it, and nothing happened.
fastboot has nothing to do with adb - calling just the exe does nothing -
you have to issue fastboot commands
ok have reread the whole thread and have some ideas:
your currently stuck at the cm7 boot screen ?
have you used the "stock rom version" to wipe data and cache partitions as described here ?

perhaps it will help to wipe data/cache with twrp ...

Just wanted to let you know I updated the OP with a video showing what is happening to my KF.
Haven't tried that particular rom yet, but I have wiped data and cache and attempted to re-install CM7.
great idea with the video !!!

OK, so I restored my original rooted kindle rom, but I still can't get into fastboot because of the problem I showed in the video. It is doing exactly the same thing, just instead of the CM7 boot screen, it is the Kindle Fire boot screen.
Is is possible to get into fastboot without the computer? Can anyone think of a reason why I would not be able to mount my device in TWRP?
I just want to understand something about fastboot... can you upload and flash roms with it? Or can you only get TWRP / FFF with it? I ask because I already have them, and I still can't do anything (mount from inside TWRP doesn't work). Thanks!

with fastboot you can install the newest fff and if you need twrp
but with the newest fff you can issue ""fastboot oem format"

Cool. I just ordered one of SkOrPn's cables, so once I get it I'll be sure to give an update. Thanks for all the help so far!
The cable isn't need when you have the FFF bootloader, in fact, when your computer does see the device for the short amount of time shown in the video, fastboot is active. It's a feature of FFF. Fastboot is a command line tool like adb but is used for different things. It comes in Android sdk which if you have that, you should update the tools packages in the Android manager and it will update adb and fastboot. It looks like something is not working correctly in twrp and the OS is failing to load. I'm not sure you need to oem format tho.....
At some point you had to have used fastboot to install twrp and/or FFF.... Unless you used adb dd? :what:
Anyway, I can help more but it's late where I am, need to sleep. Was going to write more but... Need sleep lol. I'll post some questions and check back tomorrow.
Have you used adb before? Do you know if platform-tools is in your environment variables PATH? In other words, can you open up cmd and type adb or do you need to "cd" to platform-tools then use adb? If you know where adb is located? If so, is a file called fastboot in there? (Maby called fastboot.exe)

Yep, I've used adb successfully, and it is set up as an environmental variable. I actually installed FFF and TWRP with the KFU. Problem is I think something else is botched; perhaps it is TWRP itself, since I am unable to mount from TWRP. I'll try again when I get home.

I was attempting to get ICS running on my Bell Atrix 4G and seem to have screwed it up. Here was everything I did:
1. Rooted it
2. Unlocked the bootloader
3. Attempted to run CWM, I used the free app but everytime I tried to backup current ROM it would boot like nothing happened. When I tried getting into Android Recovery mode to see it, I always got the Android guy with the exclamation mark.
4. Got the latest system.img from jokersax's page
5. Used fastboot (instead of moto-fastboot since I could not get moto-fastboot to work) and ran:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
6. I got "sending system" and "writing system" both OKAY on my cmd terminal, on the device some things were written underneath FASTBOOT, but nothing happened after a while, so I removed the battery and tried to restart.
And now I'm stuck on the Motorolla start screen with nothing happening. The options still work (Android Recover - which goes to the error screen, Fastboot, etc...).
What is the best approach to at the least restore my device?
Go into fast boot recovery and follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16365625
Once you have recovery installed then you can install a rom. Saw you on cm9 thread so I'm assuming you want to install that. Wipe and then flash the rom twice without any wipe in between. Lastly install gapps v11

Hi Guys - I'm stuck and could sure use some help. I was flashing the Kaos Droid V3.7.3 rom (wipe cache, data, factory reset), went through the Aroma installer set up and when I tried to reboot system like usual, I keep ending up back in ClockworkMod Recovery Touch V6.0.1.0. Everytime I try to power off the device to get into "fastboot" mode, it doesn't work. The Nexus 7 toolkit doesn't see the device with trying to reflash factory image.
Seems like if I can just get into fastboot, maybe it'll work.
Or is there some other way to get into Odin and flash firmware? I'm really frustrated and clueless at this point. I've tried all the button combos for fastboot, just not working.
Please help.
Thanks,
Edit: I was able to get into fastboot, let's see what happens after trying to flash the stock image
Edit 2: Shew, I was really panicking there for a few. It's taken me 4+ Hours to figure out, I need Android-SDK to get Adb working and be able to reboot into fastboot and then the toolkit worked from that point.
Hi there,
I have a N7 (2012) with an issue.
First, I am familiar with fastboot, adb, etc. The tablet bootloader is locked (unfortunately), there is a stock recovery, and the tablet is running the stock rom (4.3, forgot the build number).
It has been working fine for months, but now when turning it on it goes to a black screen with just the google logo. It never displays the boot animation (the x).
I know for sure I could reflash the stock rom, but the tablet is my brothers and he really wants to somehow save his game progress (in games such as Jetpack Joyride, Temple Run 2, Iron Man 3, and one other).
I can’t…
….. flash any partitions (such as reflash system, boot, recovery, etc.)
….. boot a custom recovery (that has adb so I can do a adb backup)
…… boot the tablet to turn on usb debugging
…… do an adb backup from stock recovery.
I did however wipe cache from the stock recovery to no avail.
Before anyone says “check the drivers”, both fastboot devices and adb devices (fastboot in bootloader, adb in recovery, after selecting sideload update from adb) display the tablet.
Anyone have any ideas (or know if these games backup to play games somehow?) on how to save his game data?
Anyone have any ideas on how this happened? Since stock android should only be able to write to cache, userdata….. and not system, boot, etc… which partition has the issue?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Hello guys! Some help would be nice... Thanks in advance.
So i enrolled to Android 7 Beta and downloaded the latest OTA update. I was fine until i saw some apps i have didnt work in Android 7. So i wanted to go back to Android 6.
I tried unrolling my device from the beta but it didnt gave me an update from the Settings menu.
Then i downloaded the factory image and flashed it with fastboot.
I flashed everything and now it is stuck at Google Logo. I tried wiping cache, wiping data and reseting the phone in different manners.
What else should i do?
Thanks in advance.

Re-flash MM stock package again via fastboot. Among the .img files flash bootloader and radio first but make sure you do "fastboot reboot-bootloader" after flashing each of the two.

FYI. I managed to finally boot again on Android 7 using the OTA update from here. https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/4z4ru1/android_n_ota_link_for_nexus_6p_from_601_to_70/
The problem is i cant get back to MM and i guess i have to wait somehow for the updated apps to work with Nougat.

When you select "Apply updated from ADB" i had to unplug and re plug my phone to my computer in order to see it. If windows says it is unrecognized i guess you need some drivers.
I officially hate Android 7. Boot loops galore. Factory reset without restoring ANYTHING is the only way to keep it from looping right now.... But its only been an hour so we'll see. Like you I'm unable to rollback to MM. My computer also is working with adb. I've updated my sdk to the newest version too. I can get the device serial number in fastboot, but the reboot commands give me error device not found.

I have been on the beta program just to get Nougat and downloaded and installed it just fine a week ago. Now all of a sudden today my phone goes off and then to the never ending Google logo. I turned it back off, and now it wont come on, wont charge, etc. Nothing. How can I get it back live again. Even when I had the Google logo earlier I couldnt boot to anything else. Holding power and volume down does nothing.
Hello everyone! I bring news from the TWRP developers from the #TWRP IRC channel! TWRP 3.0.2-1 has a fatal bug! If you backup and restore EFS it will brick you! Do not backup and restore EFS on 3.0.2-1! Use 3.0.2-0 instead! This has already been fixed in the newer builds!
If you have been bricked you NEED to Erase the EFS partitions and that will fix it immediately.
For the Nexus 6P go to TWRP. Then on PC Open Command Prompt with access to ADB ( Android Debug Bridge) and execute the following commands:
ADB shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
and
ADB Shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst2 bs=16384
This should fix it for ANY Nexus 6P users. Users on other phones with the same problem await instructions!

Was running the Nougat 7.0 WETA ROM, and had some issues with sound performance, plus battery life was tanking, so went to using Vanir 6.0.
Wiped and installed (I assume from the process that backup and restore is part of this process), then pico gapps, and stuck on boot screen.
Found this thread and followed instructions. The first ABD command works flawlessly, but the second one returns the standard printscreen when a command isn't recognized, and lists all the adb options. Possibility it's entered incorrectly?

Device is corrupt, stuck on google logo
It's been a while since my crack flashing days but i just got my N6P, updated to MTC20F, Unlocked Bootloader, installed TWRP 3.0.2-2, rooted, Tried to install CM13, I got the wrong gapps tho, forgot to check ARM64 instead of ARM. so i got a bad install with the gapps, said it wasn't compatible. So I tried to wipe and restore my backup i made in TWRP, but i keep getting the "device is corrupt and cannot be trusted" then stuck at Google logo. I would think if i could push the factory img or the correct Gapps to the phone, I could flash with no problem. How do i get new files onto the phone while in TWRP? Sorry if it's a noob question, but i need help. Thanks!

You can push the file via adb or just connect your phone through usb cable while in twrp and drag and drop from pc to your phones storage drive
Yeah I couldn't get the internal storage to mount on xp but it does on win 7, window pops right up after drivers install. I tried flashing cm13 with the correct gapps but it still hangs at Google. I'm using the skipsoft toolkit to try and flash back to stock right now
Hope everyone here can help me.
I was flashing a 7.0 ROM on my phone with the NRDU90 vendor. The flashing failed so I restored from my backup made by TWRP. The restore was successful, but now I'm stuck in a bootloop. The phone goes to the Google splash screen with the lock(it is in the unlocked position) and then goes right back to the screen that mentions about device corruption and please relock the bootloader.
When it wasn't booting, I was able to boot into fastboot and then into recovery with no issues. I tried the fastboot flash of NRDU90 and also MCT20L builds direct from google. All flash but continues to loop. Only success that saw a small part of the Android splash boot was flashing Tupac's 7.0 rom but that never got any further.
Hoping y'all can help. I personally do not have a spare phone so this is my only device. Willing to try any steps and if need to, can do like a hangout session for any help.
