Hi,
I have previously tried to flash old firmware on my kindle fire hd 8 (5th gen) so i could root the device but it appears to have bricked it.
I have tried many other solutions but the device is simply not turning on.
Is there any way i can bring my fire back to life?
What version OS were you on? Usually if you can't get into your recovery screen, by pressing the volume down button first and then power button (hold both until the amazon logo appears), then your device is lost. Return it to Amazon if still under warranty, for a courtesy replacement.

I followed the burritoroot3 guide and I've got a minor annoyance.
When I reboot the device it always comes up with the yellow triangle and "press power button for recovery."
When I hit the power button it goes to the "kindle fire" normal bootup and proceeds to boot normally.
I am rooted, the kindle appears to work fine except for this minor annoyance.
What have I done wrong? What should my next step be to flash a CM7 build?
*edit*
Ah, OK, so the yellow triangle IS the firefirefire bootloader. WHy doesn't pushing the "power" button access the bootloader then?
*/edit*
Hold the power button until it turns from green to orange when the fire fire fire boot loader first appears.

Doesn't appear to work?
Here's what I did:
I turned my Kindle off.
Pressed "power" button once.
Boot loader appears, I again press power and hold until the light turns orange, then release
The screen goes black for a moment, yellow triangle appears, then "kindle fire" appears, then yellow triangle, then "kindle fire" and normal bootup.
Sorry, I just saw the second part of your question. I assume you have twrp installed since you used burritoroot3. Put the from zip file you downloaded into the sdcard directory of your kindle fire. Use the backup function in twrp to create a backup of your kindle fire in case the install goes wrong. After doing this go to the wipe menu in twrp do a factory reset and then go back to the main menu of twrp and hit install. Find the zip file with the the from in it you placed in the sdcard directory, select it and hit the flash button. Sorry this explanation isn't very good I'm typing on my kindle fire and this keyboard is weird.

Wow I'm stupid i forgot buritto root doesn't install twrp, go find the kindle fire utility on this forum and in my experience use an older build like the 0.9.1 and use it to install twrp

Allrighty, thanks to the helpful IRC folks I've got it all sorted out.
I didn't actually have a custom recovery installed.
I'm good to go now, at least as far as rooting goes...
I have an HD10 that is stuck on the initial Amazon screen. It will not go any further than this. I am also unable to get into fastboot mode. Is there any way of resurrecting this device or is it toast? Thanks for the help.
Do you able to go to recover mode ?
Hold + and power button for few seconds.
Then you can adb update the fireos again
My Fire HD 8 2016 is rooted and was working for a week. Now it bootloops and I can't get in recovery. Any help?

What'd you do that caused the bootloop? What modifications did you make?
Also, were you able to access recovery mode before the bootloop? Hold the power button for 20 seconds to turn the device off first. The key combination is volume up + power when the tablet is off. When the Amazon logo pops up, let go of all buttons.
Lastly, can you connect to adb while on the fire logo? You could try the command:
adb reboot recovery
Sorry I have only now responded, but I haven't tried your adb idea and I was able to use recovery mode before the bootloop curse
EDIT:

It didn't work.
Also, I don't know what caused it.

What process were you following? Having you tried powering down completely (hold the power button for about 10 seconds) then hold volume up and hold the power on button to boot into recovery? (if that does work try volume down). What rooting process were you doing though and where did it fail?

I managed to fix it and have rooted successfully with lineages installed I had no other options but to open the fire hd 8 so basically it's hard rooting it without opening the back tho still thanks for your reply

Thank you so much !

Go to Settings -> My account and press Register button. Don't register your Fire tablet, just press the SKIP button and confirm. The navigation bar will shows up.
If didn't work. Backup your important files and contents and reset your Fire tablet.
Is it possible do downgread the firmware version? Are there any risk? I still have an older firmware file
I see also on the screen when I flash the firmware:
"Patching system image unconditionally..."
is there something wrong with the bin file? I've got it direct from Amazon
Everything is back to normal thanks to the Amazon Fire Toolbox created by Datastream33.
I have only one question. When I press the "home" button, it takes a moment to change the screen. Is there a way to change a parameter with SetEdit?
Thanks
Klaus
