I can't go to download mode or recovery mode . It scews me

if you have no way into download mode your screwed. Look for different ways into download mode and see if you can get it

If you forsure cant get into download mode ask T-Mobile for a exchange. It is very easy to complete and since it happened after an official update you should have no issues completing the exchange

try pullin battery. plug phone into computer. hold volume up and volume down. put battery in. prest-o change-o you should see an android w/exclamation point in a triangle. if this fails a jig from skorpion(I believe that is his name) might help, just fyi ur vibe is probably 99% un-brickable.

Try to connect ur phone to pc & if you' ve seen an icon phone+pc+!, your in download mode..odin can read it..or you can simultaneously hold vol up + power to get into download mode

Press Power button and volume down button and the menu key together
Now you're in download mode (Connect Phone with usb to PC),
Now you need to download a Program called 'Odin': http://www.mediafire.com/?a54dbk53vhpkjto
Now you need to do a google search for your stock ROM
and reflash it with Odin:
1. Click PHONE and select the stock rom
2. Press 'Start' and it will begin reflashing the rom (be patient)
Now if you are succesfull unbricked you can try rooting it again ...

Please help

But seriously did you try just googling "unbrick kindle fire"? Even on XDA in the Kindle Fire section there are 5 Tutorials which describe your case. Give it a shot, hope this helps.

DON'T LET YOUR BATTERY DIE
You are stuck in fastboot mode. Easy to fix...just follow the instructions. Letting your battery die will cause more problems than you want to deal with.
[Edit:] By "follow the instructions" I mean the ones posted here:

When you say that your PC didn't recognize it, does it not recognize it add a kindle device, or does it not recognize it at all?

I got it to be recognized as kindle.....This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
I get that and cant get adb to rec. it

Woot i got it fixed the issue was my compuers psu not giving nuf power.....blew another one did on crap net book .......ty for ur help all

[Edit:] Nevermind

Go to your PC and go to control panel>system>device manager (I'm not near a computer but I'm pretty sure that's right) and look for anything that says kindle or android and uninstall it. Then install the driver package that was included with kfu. You may need to reboot your PC for it to worl

[Q] Nexus 7 won't boot up past the Nexus X logo

Today my Nexus 7 shut off because the battery died. So I plugged it in and left. When I returned it was on the Nexus X logo boot screen.
I now can't do anything. If I try to turn it off by hitting the power button nothing happens.
If I hold the power button for 20 seconds it just reboots back to the X logo.
If I hold the power button and volume up for 20 seconds it just reboots back to the X logo.
If I hold the power button and both volume buttons for 20 seconds it just reboots back to the X logo.
If I hold the power button and volume down for 20 seconds it boots into Bootloader.
From bootloader I have 4 options:
-Start: This just reboots back to the X logo.
-Restart Bootloader: This just refreshes the Bootloader but leaves me where I am.
-Power Off: This is the only way I can even turn my Nexus 7 off. But when I turn it back on it just boots back to the X logo.
-Recovery Mode: This just shows a android with his chest open with a red exclamation mark and it says "No Command". At that point I can only hold power for 20 seconds to get it to reboot to the X logo.
My Nexus 7 is completely stock.
What can I try? Any advice or ideas? TIA.

Sorry but what exactly does that do for me?
It allows me to install a recovery, which I don't want to do.
It allows me to boot into recovery, which I can already do.
It allows me to install a custom ROM, which I don't want to do.
What am I missing?

Its really not as complicated as it looks. You could even copy and paste each command. But if its something more simple you are looking for then look in the development stickies. There are tools there to do the same stuff.

Well you actually can't paste into a command prompt, so I can't cut and paste.
But it wasn't so much that it was complicated (certainly much easier than the rooting, unlocking, and flashing ROMs and basebands I've done on many devices), it was more so that it seems there should be an official proper way to restore your device like there is with many others.
Anyways I'm downloading the factory image and whatnot now.

Ctrl v will paste into prompt on linux. On windows 7 you just right click and paste. Check out wugs tool as well. May be worth checking out.

Windows? You sure can paste into a command prompt. While ctrl+v won't work, you can still right click.

Actually no Ctrl-V just gives you "^v", but I just discovered that right-click Paste works. I never use right-click so I never saw that, so turns out you were right after all.
Anyways I was just kidding about the cut and paste, obviously that wasn't what was holding me back from doing it.
Thanks for trying to help suggesting something else, but I've already downloaded the necessary tools for this one, and like I said it wasn't that I wanted another tool it was that I wanted an Official way to do it.

lol, ya windows. Like I just said in another post I just noticed that. I didn't notice before because I never use right-click.
And regardless I would never use it to copy 2 word prompts anyways. More trouble than it's worth.

I edited my post to say what I meant more clearly. Linux is Ctrl v and windows is just right click and paste. I assumed you where using Linux and couldn't right click and paste. Hope it works out for you. I agree there should be like an ruu or Odin method. I've only been on the nexus for a couple of days and it is much different.

Oh I see, gotcha. Never ever used Linux.
I have the Nexus 4, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10 and all have been quite good to me, this is my first real issue.

OK, no luck, none of the methods suggested here worked.
The method on theunlokr doesn't just says waiting for device.
The JROMFlasher says no device is detected.
Wugs tool says Fastboot device was not found.
Any other ideas or anything else I can try?

There are a few different drivers for the nexus. Sounds like you don't have the correct drivers. Download the android sdk and install the Google drivers from the
SDK manager. When in fastboot type fastboot devices and it should list your device. If not then its a driver issue. The other two drivers are "USB driver r06 windows" from Asus website and "universal naked driver 072" which I found on Google. One of those should work but the one in sdk should work.

I am very new to this but I might be able to help if you have USB debugging enabled on your nexus 7. I saved mine from a soft brick the other day, very frustrating, but I got it.
I am guessing your boot loader is unlocked and you are running a custom recovery?
Again hopefully USB debugging is enabled.
I recommend mskips nexus toolkit.
1. Remove the back cover of the nexus 7 and disconnect the battery. It's easy. Just follow the wires coming off the battery to the little black plastic connector. Once you locate it, use something small and plastic to push on the edge near where the wires go in. Push toward the power and volume buttons. Let it sit for an hour or so.
2. Very, very ,very ,important!!! Get into your device manager on your PC and uninstall all drivers on the PC that say android, Google or nexus. I mean all of them! Check USB drivers for this also. To many of these cause to many paths for the toolkit and PC to try and follow. Get them all off!
3.after the nexus sits unplugged for at least 1 hour. Reconnect the battery.
4. Get into fast boot mode-power/volume/up/down and plug the nexus into the PC. Let the drivers install. These need to be the only ones on the PC at this time!
5. Open mskips toolkit and check for serial number. Refresh toolkit and or switch USB ports on PC if serial number does not show. It will.
6. On the toolkit try option 5 first. Rename recovery.
7. Then option 6. Reflash custom recovery.( I had to do this three times).
8. Download and flash factory image.
9. Root using the toolkit.
10. Start flashing again.
When the toolkit gave me an error I went back and started over, this happened a few times.
This saved my nexus 7 from being smashed by a sledge hammer and thrown in the garbage. This was very frustrating for me but I got it.

I had the correct drivers according to Wugs, but I removed all of them (and dozens of other old ones from other phones and tablets) and then reinstalled.
Wugs still failed to do a wipe so I used it to unlock my bootloader instead (in hopes of re-trying to do a wipe afterwards) and then it finally booted up.
So it is now fixed. Yay!
Thanks.

Thanks for answering but the phone is completely dead and not responding to any of the suggestions made. I am not sure wheather it is me who is not doing it correctly but am now heading to the outlet where i purchased from, as it is still under warranty. I hope they will assist me without unnecessary complications.
as regards to the suggestions given it appears like they work under certain conditions not all and we need to find out what these conditions are.
Edit. What eventually happened is that I took my phone to lg service centre as it was still on warranty.They changed the board .

Problem was solved through service centre. The board was replaced. My imei is now different
