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

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

It didn't work.
Also, I don't know what caused it.
Hello everybody,
I hope somebody can help me to save my N7 (2012).
I installed TWRP without problems and after that I tried to flash a custom rom - which, for some reasons, didn't work.
After reboot my Nexus is stuck at Google logo with an opened lock at bottom...
I can't get to fastboot because when I power on while pushing VOL - button it just get stuck at the same logo screen.
If I keep power button pressed for about 10s, it shuts down but after a few seconds it boots again just to get stuck again at the logo screen...
The only way to shut it down completely is to keep VOL+ button pressed while pressing the power button.
My Windows 7 computer won't recognize the N7 at all anymore, but when I shut it down completely (Power & VOL+), windows says "Unknown device".
Is my Nexus still to be saved or I can throw it away?
Thank you in advance for each advice.

Hi, Conrad-007...
This is very strange - your Nexus 7 is clearly 'bootable' (sort of), with a functioning bootloader, ie., it's not hardbricked... or you wouldn't be seeing the Google logo.
In the distant past, back when I used to experiment with custom kernels on my Nexus 7, it sometimes required the POWER BUTTON+VOL DOWN buttons be pressed and held down for a good 30 seconds or more, to generate the necessary 'interrupt', and force the device into the bootloader.
My first instinct, is to suggest you may possibly have a problem with your VOL DOWN button, and maybe it's stuck somehow or not making contact.
It also occurred to me, that you might be able to access the bootloader with...
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
...or possibly...
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
...and even...
Code:
adb reboot recovery
But unfortunately, I'm pretty sure you need to be running fully booted Android or booted into a custom recovery (eg., TWRP) before you can issue ADB commands. I haven't tinkered around in this area of Android for a couple of years now, so my memory of the specifics is a little hazy.
Anyhow, here's a fairly comprehensive listing of Nexus 7 button presses/interrupts, which maybe of some use...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37606945#post37606945
--------------------------------
Anyway, just some thoughts that might give you some clues/ideas, that may resolve your problem.
Good luck, and I hope you find something that works.
Rgrds,
Ged.
Thanks Ged for the detailed answer.
Unfortunately it seems that my Nexus is not booting complete (not finishing the booting sequence due to corrupted bootloader?) and so I cannot send to it any adb or fastboot command...
I read in the meantime that holding the VOL up button while powering up the Nexus, it will bring it in the APX mode (whatever this mean) and indeed, my computer recognize it as "APX" device.
I hope at least that this is a good sign and a first step to bring my Nexus back to life... but I have no idea what is the APX mode and what can I do in this mode to attempt to save my device...
Do you (or somebody else) have (has) an advice or tutorial for me concerning this?
Regards,
Conrad
Hi Conrad.
I'm in exactly the same situation (I've mistakenly posted a duplicate thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/general/bricked-tilapia-t4005149). Let's continue here. So:
1. I spent 4 hours trying all possible button press combinations, including VERY long presses. I didn't notice any APX device or Uknown device connected to Windows. I might have missed it, you gave me hope. I will check again.
2. APX mode enables low level access to the chipset via nVidia tool nvflash. You probably came accross these threads here on xda:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455927
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340237
I haven't so far, as I was not aware of the visibilty of the tablet in Windows. I will check again.
Well, I must have been blind not to have seen all the posts here on xda and everywhere else. I went through the threads and now I know:
1. I can see the tablet in APX mode in Windows. Possibly I could correctly set up the driver.
2. This would be totally useless, since I hadn't backed up necessary blob.
I have a new paperweight
Is it just me or does the new Fire HD 10 2019 not have a recovery mode? I have owned a ton of android devices and know how to get into recovery (hold power down and volume up or down depending on model). Anyways when I try to hardware go into recover or go into recover via the toolbox, all I get is a black screen with the white triangle and exclamation mark for a minute then reboots. There is no recovery mode? Is this correct or do I have a defective unit?
Thanks

Interesting - my sample behaves the same way. Not sure I'm going to keep it so unwilling to tinker further. I suspect recovery is there somewhere, just not accessible via traditional means.

Can install TWRP custom recovery (needs to unlock/crack bootloader)
Hold down power button and volume down or try ADB
Code:
adb reboot recovery

There is no Bootloader hack, therefore TWRP can't exist for new hd10, what are you trying to do is to reboot device into bootloader (fastboot mode), which won't give any results. If neither toolbox or hardware methods are working, there's a chance that it's hidden, or just uses different combinations, like connecting a usb c to tablet and then pressing buttons, or any other thing, there are many possibilities, i guess we just have to wait

Can you explain EXACTLY how and when to press each button after the triangle? And when to let go of each button. I just can't get it to go into recovery or get past that first triangle.
hold the power button and tap volume up from that screen with the triangle and exclamation point to access the menu.... very limited menu though...
I am trying these methods and its working fine

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?

Hello , I have the same problem with you. Which way did you follow. You booted into recovery finally?
Thank you so much !
I have used TWRP and recovered a few tablets before so i'm familiar with the process. However my friend gave me this Fire HD 10 tablet and the amazon splash screen just cycles through a 10 second reboot loop. Holding down Volume UP and the Power button does nothing, i am unable to access TWRP or even the original recovery tool. I then held the Volume button DOWN with the power button and the adb recovery does not appear. The device just keep rebooting no matter the combo of buttons i hold down.
Anyway to recover this device?
You need to open the device, and short the pins to get into preloader. Use the TWRP Thread and download gptfix and run it, after that short again and do bootrom-step.sh then continue the process to reinstall TWRP from there.
Hope this helps! From my own experience. This happened to me when messing with the partition table!
I appreciate your reply, however is there an instruction guide to show how to do this? i have a heat gun but not the best or most patient when it comes to opening these devices, my track record is sub par at best =)
