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
Hey guys...I just cracked my display.Last night ,a half of display it was working.I put it on charger,and now I am stuck in APX.
If I press power button for 3-4 secs,on PC I get USB Device Not Recognized.If I just connect,it starts in APX mode and it's recognized as Asus Transformer Prime.
Any solution?
I never unlocked bootloader,flash ROM,root etc...
Send it back to Google! You still have your warranty. And for the cracked screen, buy a replacement screen and try it to place into your N7. :good: My N7 was also in APX mode and I brought it back to the store where I bought my N7. I unlocked my bootloader, and rooted my N7, and I still have my warranty on my N7.
I have read through the other posts about briked Nexus 7's. They all seem to talk about 'What is on the screen' My nexus 7 stays black the entire time. The only thing I 'hear' is my computer beeping to say a USB divice is connected and disconnected when I push the power button on my android. Otherwise my screen is black and stays black.
Is there any way to reset it back to factory install? Even pulling out a USB chip (hoping) and formatting it on my computer and replacing it?? Asus said, 'Sure send it on in, $100.00 and we do not guarantee a fix.' I can buy a replacement for about the same price.
Any idea at this point would be awsome!
Hi all,
I have the Shield Pro, running 5.1, and it won't start
It was working fine yesterday, but when I got home from work this evening, it was unresponsive. The power light was stuck on, but would not respond to any controller input or, as far as I can tell, any USB input.
I pulled the power out, and plugged it back in, and the light came on instantly. No display on the TV. I plugged it into my PC, but Windows doesn't see anything attached (I have tried multiple cables). If I hold the power button for five seconds, the device just turns off. If I touch the power button even just briefly, the green light comes back on. I can't get into Fastboot or anything. There is no HDMI output at all.
This is, naturally, really quite annoying.
However, after having it hooked up to my PC via USB for a while (not sure how long, sorry!), my computer bleeped like it does when a new USB device has been discovered, and bingo! I now have an "APX" device, with no drivers installed.
So. Who knows about APX mode for this thing?
I'm pretty sure APX is a low level recovery mode.. I recall reading that elsewhere.
go to the developers nvidia site amd search on how to reflash via apx
yeah, I had to use it on my old LG Optimus 2X, back in the day. There's nothing on the nVidia developer site about using it though

Apx mode ( and yes without drivers - couldn't even find around in Internet...) on pc ×device manager× shows me on my 500gb console when I removing internal shdd and connected with pc whiteout shdd (one day nothing to do and decide need open and have look what is inside in console...shdd, motherboard, cooler etc) . Another words sounds those symptoms very similar with my tests, but in my case that was mine experiments/investigations/discovery and your looks like you have some serious storage problem or kind of problem relaited with - can't read os or even bootloader which is on 500gb shdd or flash memory modul on 16gb.

after googling for a bit , i saw some references to the shield tablet, i think someone had an APX driver, maybe you could try that?
I could do, but APX mode is really, really dangerous. You need to know byte offsets and all that :S

if you know apx and you have all necessary stuff from Nvidia (which is not provided for public) you can replace internal drive or even ssd by installing bootloader, recovery, os etc straight on new drive from pc which is main factor why we can't swap them so easily, like 1 - 2tb drive or ssd - which would be fantastic ?. P.s. Something simular protection is for Xbox360 drives.

if that's the case you might have to send it for a warranty repair.. better not playing around if it's under warranty.
an idea for apx
move your shdd from shield and connect to pc then use this program(R-Studio 8.0) or other to restore date on u shdd I think it most work good luck

I have tab p7500 and have this problem apx only jtag help me in apx mode you should now wish sbl for tegra x1 and have nvflash for shield pro sorey for my English the easy way use jtag or tray to restore data in shdd
would there be a way to just dd- flash a new recovery withthe hdd removed from the unit? I am having te same no logo, no bootloader issue and am trying to either find apx drivers (non-existent) or a workaround. There has to be a way.....
i have the same question. My intrest is more in tinkering with the tegra x1 exploit in order to get a different root solution not contingent on nvidias closed source crap. I'm running a 2015 foster model and it is getting increasingly difficult to find tutorials on that system specifically with the newer updates. +i am interested in learning the process to exchange the hdd and mopy and manipulate the widevine keys that don't work on mine after the forced 7.2.3 update that occured with all update sofware removed from my system that also fried my controller with a botched firmware update that is blacklisted and not mentioned on the internet except people asking and all replies deleted. you know general unfettered access to the system without the bootloaders say so . All of this should now be possible now that the real hackers have gotten involved and decided they want to promote this exploit for homebrew it has caused several low level apx drivers to popup in corners ive found myself in from time to time if somebody will just get them to do it for the shield tv instead of the shield tab and the switch it is proven to work.
hello i have a dead shield i get no picture says no signal i get power but the hd makes a noise even if the shields hardrive is dead should i still get green logo ???
and when i connect to pc comes p as apx something like that so im wondering is there a way to reflash a boot with apx i can fix the hardrive bit i did the to ssd thing but still no picture .
i got apx driver but have no clue how to flash using the apx way any help would be appreciated as its sad to see a dead shield.
