So I searched the site for awhile, and haven't been able to find a fix for this at all, so any help or links to help would be greatly appreciated.
I tried rooting my Kindle Fire, and well something went wrong. I am stuck at a frozen Kindle Fire screen. I tried a fix awhile back and now my computer won't even detect anything attached. Needless to say that any fix that involves trying to get software loaded etc is out, unless there is a fix around that to find the Kindle again.
I am at a loss, and would really like to get my Kindle working again of course.
Is there any sort of Restart button on the inside? I thought I found a fix for it, and well can't seem to find that information again.
Please help!
Thanks,
Michael

Hey guys-
Think I've done it this time. I have a paperweight aka kindle fire that isn't recognized by adb. It shows up as a device in windows as a kindle when I plug it in, but nothing beyond that. I have searched high and low and found no other post/forum that mentions my issue or shows a working fix...
When I plug in the kindle to the computer, I get a green light on the power button, (I suppose indicating the kindle is charged) and if I hold down/push the power button when it is plugged in, nothing happens. If it is unplugged, I can push the power button, it turns green, and after two seconds, it turns off again. No yellow fire triangle, no nothing on the screen. I have used the kfu utility 25+ times without a hitch, trying out all the cool stuff around the forums, and never run into a problem like this. If I could just get windows or adb to recognize the device, I could easily fix the problem myself, I just can't get it to that point.
If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it-
EDIT: It seems as if the backlight is stuck in the on position...hard to tell but i'm pretty sure thats what it is...the screen is obviously black and you cant tell unless your in a closet...
If its anything like the problem I've repeatedly run into, it failed to shut down correctly. Hold down the power button for 10 seconds to force it off and retry booting.
Alright problem solved. I'm going to go dig a hole, and bury myself.
Glad it worked out for you.
It's funny - I go to some other forums and I run across people posting stuff like "don't Root your Kindle Fire - just look at XDA and most of the threads are about someone who Bricked it" . I think a lot of people read the thread titles but never bother to read any further to find out that 99% of the time the "Bricked" Kindle Fire was working again fine pretty quickly.
Hi!
A couple of months ago i bricked my brother kindle fire, I can't remember exactly what firmware etc I had to used on it, since i'm not a KF user myself. He came to me the other day saying that his kindle was no longer working any more.
Now this time, I have no idea what is wrong with it, the rom used had like a logo with a yellow triangle and fire sign in the middle.
The problem:
The KF is no longer recognized by the computer, I can't seem to get in via adb,
tried hard reset too...
The kindle periodically once plugged in turn on with the yellow triangle and fire logo from the rom and then turn black like it's off every second or so.
Is there a fix to my problem? and how?
Thank-you greatly in advance to all your help at hand.
it's probably stuck in fastboot. there's should be a thread in the development forum about how to fix it. I think you have to reinstall the drivers for an adv device.
sorry it's brief,have to go sleep and get ready for work.

dead battery - the kf is constantly rebooting, does nothing if pluggend out - right ?
would suggest to charge it with the wall charger for some hours - best over night
if you use a replacement charger take care it is strong enough - has to have ~2A or it will not work
Ok so I have been reading around and most of what I found about my specific problem (boot loop with never putting any custom restore or root or ANYTHING on it) was pretty much was useless. I am not a complete beginner I have put custom mods on many of my devices, defy, atrix, dell streak, ect, and I have used ADB among other things (not that I am a pro at it mind you!)
I realize theres a thread up for this here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356257
but I want to know if this will work or is for people WHO HAVE NEVER DONE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THEIR KINDLE FIRE
If it is then I will give it a shot.
What happened is (to my knowledge) my daughter was playing with it, and the next morning, it was boot looping, and quickly. So when I turn it on, it shows kindle fire then goes black, then repeats or once in a while will make it to the slide to unlock but 2-3 seconds after goes black and continues the bootloop
ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED!
I recommend giving Amazon a call and get the device replaced.... If you still have a warranty?

Why would I even try to fix it if I had a warrant? .... thanks anyways...
so ive downloaded the drivers and its basically not working, and the method for deleting the drivers (the one some idiot posted at least) will only work IF THE DEVICE STAY CONNECTED... Which it obviously isnt... and the 3-4 seconds of it saying KINDLE FIRE isnt long enough for me to find it in the device manager... by the time that updates its already rebooting...
so please anybody.... i dont understand why it would be so difficult.... I JUST NEED A RECOVERY I DONT NEED ANY OF MY STUFF
I have tried running ADB shell it says device not found....
If it is a hardware problem, then flashing is pointless. It did this on its own. Processor or board issue. Given the variety of things I see posted, hardware is an issue at least 1/3 of the time, my guess.

I would agree with you but i had installed some apps prior that seemed to make it glitchy and slow, and my daughter probably just triggered something (she is 3 and just constantly opens and taps things, i caught her in settings before) ... im pretty positive its software, especially since I read a few people with the same exact symptoms of mine... (it shows logo then reboots repeatedly, but sometimes makes it to the slide screen for like 4 seconds then it goes back to boot loop) Im sure I could fix it but I need help with getting my ADB in order or im screwed xD
I have also read several places that my problem could be fixed with a factory cable...
Have you tried a hard reset (hold the power button down for 30 seconds then power back on)? That should clear any stuck apps. It also sounds similar to a low power boot loop. If you haven't tried charging it you might want to put it on the charger overnight and see what that does. Other than that I don't know why a stock KF would bootloop.

I have tried all of that, many times in fact. I also think its odd that it got stuck in a bootloop but from what ive read stock KF do that sometimes and its usually as simple as changing the way it boots which is why I think the factory cable is what I really need...

like i said... thats why i think i need a factory cable (fastboot)... but the problem here is i dont have a factory cable... lmao!
so basically im stuck at the fact that the drivers arent working, thus the KF is not being recognized, making fastboot impossible, or am i wrong? somebody please clarify...

You don't know whether or not your fastboot drivers are working because you must first put the device into fastboot mode to see if Windows will load the appropriate drivers.
Your problem is that on a stock device unable to boot into the system, 2 out of the 4 possible ways of putting the KF into fastboot mode are unavailable to you. The remaining options are to use a factory cable or to crack the case open to get access to the motherboard.

There's another thread on the forums here about someone who disconnected the battery and hardwired it to a charger, but that seems like a really bad idea to me. A factory cable is your best/safest first step to getting out of your situation.
Alright, long story short. My kids broke the power button on the a500 and as a well known issue i fixed it and sodered it back on. When I tried to reboot it gave me the dreaded stuck ACER logo . I had this issue once before and fixed it using an old upate.zip file I had. This time I read the new thread on the 4 files to try but soon as it stuck I got booted into a black screen which I'm guessing is the apx? (powerbutton light up but no vibration)
I've been reading and reading but I cant seem to find the exact thread on how this issue is fixed. Could one of you guys direct me. Seems to be so many different programs like unbuntu ect but its seems all confusing to me.
any help would be appreciated. Is unbuntu route the only way to start this off on retrieving my cpuid or is there an alternate way to get my tab back up
So a searched everywhere and could not find a thread where a similar question has been asked, if so I apologize and please redirect.
My Nexus 10 screen will no longer power on. The tablet will vibrate if I attempt to power on and power off but the screen is unresponsive. I tried connecting it to my PC to see if it would register and sure enough it registers as a media device (that rules out dead battery). Anyone have any suggestions as to what might be going on with the tablet? How to fix or what to replace?
TIA
Hi,
If the screen isn't turning on, then I'll give you a wild guess that the problem is with the screen. Did Android boot? Did you see the Google screen popping up when turning on? Did your tablet fall in the floor recently? If the problem is really the screen then it can be that it either died (then you will need to replace) or some cable disconnected.
Try opening it and checking if all the cables are well insterted. There are plenty of videos of people doing that on the internet you just need to search .
Good luck,

Tablet has never been dropped (no dents or cracks). The Google logo does not appear on boot. It is possible that the screen has just stopped working but just seems odd. The main reason I posted this was to see if anyone else has experienced something similar to this. I agree with your suggestion about opening up the tablet and checking all of the ribbons to make sure everything is properly seated and that nothing is loose, I just know that's a lot of work and wanted to see if anyone had positive results doing that before I get started..
Thanks
