Rooting New Kindle Fire - Kindle Fire General

I just bought a refurbished Kindle Fire from Amazon, ran the permanent root process on Kindle Fire Utility, seemed to work fine, told me I was rooted and with great power comes great responsibility. Right after, the Kindle turned off and I can't get it to turn back on, its just a black screen. Anyone have thoughts on what might be causing this?

Have you tried holding the power button several minutes?

empty battery ? wall charger for some hours

I tried charging it for four hours and I pressed the power button for almost five minutes, nothing. Interesting thing is the charger light doesn't come on when charging, there's zero response from the tablet. I'm starting to think its faulty hardware.

Thanks!the point is that I can not charge my kindle!there is no power signal!I could go crazy!
i assume you'r using the wall charger - the kf will not load (enough) on a usb port
That's a really right assumption! After I used my original charger that did not help!I assume that's the cold weather and over discharge which affect the normal working about Lithium battery of kindle fire ! I am thinking about changing the battery!Reply for b63,I don't know why I can not directly reply for him just like the last one!
did you try to power it completly off by holding the power button ~30 sec ?
then plug to wall charger without powering on - the orange light should come up
maybe that restores normal loading behavior ...
Thanks you b63 for paying close attention to my problem very much!The stupid problem still persists!I gonna be crazy!!!Whether I can change another kindle from amazon or change the battery !!!
did you try it with an other charger ? maybe the charger is dead - you can use every usb charger with your usb cable.
if it's not the charger i would recommend to change the device - i doubt changing only the battery will help
also i'm pretty shure you will break some of the plastic clamps if you open it
Mine did this once before no matter what I did couldn't get it to power on. No idea why this happens but it does. I'm in cm7 but is still counts as a rom. What I did to get it to power on was just leaving the kindle alone for like 2 or so hours. Then I connected it to the charger and powered it in. Can't promise it'll fix it. Question for you. Does the led inn the power bottom light up at all when charging? if all else fails you could open the back (theses videos out there so toy can do it right) disconnect the Batt. There's a no wires to solder. Just a connecter. that could work.
For the tl;dr version.
Happend to me. Rough to fix some times

HELP!!

I followed the steps to get Ice Cream Sandwich on the kindle from this link<redacted> and used burritoroot3 and kindle fire utility, after some hick-ups with the Yellow triangle for twrp 2.0 I got everything working last night, or so I thought. I went to bed, kindle was probably 30% charged, but I think it died. Today, it will not power on, not will it recognize it is being charged. I've used an outlet and the usb cable from the pc.
If anyone has experienced this or knows how to fix, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
Thank You
anyone? I'm really hope I didn't just make my KF a paperweight, but I can't get it to boot, charge, etc. I've tried holding the power button 30+ seconds, nothing happens. A few times I've gotten the power button to flash green then nothing.
I've never had this problem but perhaps you could try the debrick utility in development? And I'm assuming you tried holding the power button for like 30 seconds while charging on the wall?

Nevermind, shew....i just kept trying and eventually it booted and i restored the the backup I made before putting ics on there.
You experienced the sleep of death I think. If it happens again just hold the power button for awhile. Other than that ICS runs good, don't be scared to use it

Try doing an overnight recharge. There was a post at mobile reads that described a similar issue.

Do you have a programming cable? It might charge with one of those. I made my own when I had a similar problem. Just Google it.

I experienced a similar situation with my kindle fire. the problem I had is the kindle went into a sleep of death and the battery died. Nothing I tried would wake it up. Plugging in the charger would result in no charging. LED status would not change or even light up.
Solution:
Connect the kindle to the factory charging cable and while it connected perform a hard reset by pressing the power button for longer than 20 seconds. Once this happened the kindle started charging again and once it had about 3% it would power up again.
Hope this helps.

So..my nexus 7 won't turn on..

Recently updated my n7 to 4.2, haven't done anything beyond rooting. I woke up this morning, watched an episode of Prison Break via Netflix and went to work. I always plug it in before I leave, and it was saying it was charging before I left.
I get home from work today, and upon trying to unlock the device, it doesn't turn on. I unplugged it, checked the plug in it was using, even tried multiple different electrical sockets. Plugging it in usually brings up the off charging animation, but nothing. Anyone know what might be going on?
My sincerest apologies if this has been asked/questioned before; I did a little searching before I posted this and couldn't find anything about it. Thanks in advance.

Try holding down the power button for 10-20 seconds.
If that doesn't work, try leaving it plugged in for a couple hours and check back on it.
Also try plugging it into the computer and seeing if your screen has gone bad, the Nexus 7 should still come up if it's on.
...I really can't believe I made a post for this..rofl. Thanks a lot, I guess I'm just a little too impatient to hold the power down longer than five seconds.
If mods wanna delete, feel free.

Try holding down vol up & down buttons and then the power button. Then you should be in the reboot/recovery menu. It should say start. Push power button to power up.

Doesn't help mate. Tried everything, will send on RMA tomorrow :-\ ehh. Just before this sudden death my n7 started to lag a lot, I had almost 2 GB free so what is going on?

Had the same issue today...thanks to all for the quick and easy fix...feel like such a dork!
I'm having the same problem, last night I tried to turn on my Nexus7 and had issues.
My device is locked and upgraded to 4.2
While booting, the device would get to the lock screen then immediately power down. While it was powering down the screen would fuzz over and glitch a few times. As soon as it turned off it would repeat the process. I eventually got it into the boot loader and I noticed "based version: N/A" I'm not sure what that means but I hit start and now all it does is get stuck at the multi-colored X logo.
Getting back into boot loader I tried recovery mode, the response is "No command". Tried plugging it into my PC and I get the little (ba dum) sound but no device or folders to be scene.
I think i'm in trouble. I wanted to see if I could root it just so the device works again but I can't access it on my PC.
Can anyone think of a step or process I forgot to try?
My Nexus 7, wont turn on anymore either i charged it , it was very low went down to 11% battery so i turned it off and charged it, saw the battery on the screen and now.. It will not turn on, unit feels very warm when charging. It started to lag a bit , before i turned it off.. its normal software as supplied by nexus. so..> no matter how long i hold the buttons.. its off and screen stays black..
doh....asked for RMA number..only used it for a month
My Nexus 7 32Gb won't turn on either. I've been having since I got it the battery has been showing 0% since I turned it on. Regardless of how much charging I did it never changed. It ran fine and was told it might be to do with calibrating the battery but it then started to have problems turning on. It's gone off and I've tried the various power on options mentioned in this thread and nothing is working.
I guess it means a return to Carphone Warehouse. I had just got it all set-up as well.
I had rooted it and manually upgraded it to 4.2.1. It was running fine bar the 0% battery issue. I did the same thing to my Mum's 16Gb Nexus 7 and no problems at all with that one.

Hold the power button for 10 seconds or more.Happened to me just yesterday.
Plugin Nexus 7 does not bring up the charging animation.But after holding the power button for about 10 seconds,the boot animation finally appeared
New Nexus 7 Died after 2 Hrs Use
Nexus 7 shut off after only 2 Hrs of use and placed on USB charge. Tried holding button down for 30 Seconds and up/down combination with Power and nothing worked. Opened back cover carefully and patiently with Plastic Opening Tool I already had. Disconnected battery for thirty seconds then replaced connector without removing battery. Snapped cover back on. Hit power and it turned on. Do not use metal on case to open. Hope this helps. I got the idea from Youtube Video. I'm a new user and Not allowed to post links yet. Nexus 7 Teardown Review.

Thanks a lot I holded power button for more than 15 sec it got powered on thanks for your information.I am Happy now.
Man, I was just freaking out. Just got the wifi 16 on Monday. Rommed it as soon as I got home. Was using it at my local watering hole, and it suddenly just would not respond. Black screen, yadda yadda.
15 seconds of holding the power button and boom. Google logo, and then SmoothROM's boot ani. *wipes forehead* Never been so happy to see Jessica Nigri's face! lol
Thank You
I had been turning the Nexus on and off for the last couple of days, No "problems".
I tried to turn it on a couple of minutes ago and NOTHING. I even pluged it in and the battery charging icon did not turn on.
I also tried holding the button for 5 seconds but still nothing.
Fix:
I had to held the button for over 15 seconds to get it to turn on.
Thanks!
Similar problem with my nexus 7. Battery charge shows up when i plug it in. If I try to turn it on while its plugged in, i get what looks like static and lines on the screen. When I unplug it, it dies. If I hold the power button down, and plug it in, it will boot normally, and everything seems to work fine, but the battery shows as dead, and as soon as I unplug it, it dies.Just got it, it came with 4.2.1 running on it, it was an open box from Best Buy, and developer options were already enabled on it. Looks like someone tried to root it, f'd it up, and returned it. Guess I'm taking it back and returning it as well. Just a major pain as it's 1.5 hours each way from where I live to the closest best buy and back.
My problem is an easy fix, return it. However, I'd like to know if anyone figures out a fix for this incase it happens in the future.
Thanks.

MY Nexus 7 does not start nor charge

Hi there
Apologies in advance if someone already posted this, but Im too tired of searching more!
Well, long story short.
My brother got me to root a nexus 7 2012 model.
As I tried, I found out it was already rooted. So started to Unroot+Stock it using WugFresh Nexus toolkit.
During the process, it stopped giving updates and the N7 was in Bootloader.
I tried booting it up but it would say 'Boot failed' and bring me back to to bootlader. I tried several times before powering it off.
Now the N7 does not turn on.
I have tried all the button combinations and timings up to 1 minute.
Even leaving it on charge.
HALEP BOLEEZE! (Help please!)

Just switched the batteries with my fully working Nexus 7, results:
My N7 turns on perfectly fine and charges with own battery.
My N7 with her battery did not turn on or charge
Her N7 with my battery did not turn on or charges.
When I put my battery back into mine, it turns on right away - no problems.
I guess her tablet is as good as dead?
If the tablet won't fire up with a known good battery, it's likely toast. You could try swapping the motherboard as well, in case the display is dead. If the motherboard from the dead tablet works in yours then you know where the second problem is.
I have had to reseat my USB daughterboard a few times when dealing with charging issues, but that wouldn't explain the refusal to start when supplied with a fully charged battery.
