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.

Hi all, I was following this thread to install bootloader and twrp:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
I thought i followed step by step but after flashing with fireflash, and reboot (turn off, turn on?), despite pressing volume up button, the kindle fire splash screen never turned blue and go no further.
Does this qualify as a brick? I guess I need to order the factory cable to recover....:crying:

Yea you need a fastboot factory cable. Then restore with Kindle Fire FirstAide and you can try again.

Not sure where I went wrong. Is there supposed to be a reboot button that I was supposed to press? Looks like I hard booted and that's causing the failure.
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
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?

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

Hello , I have the same problem with you. Which way did you follow. You booted into recovery finally?
Thank you so much !
Hi together,
thanks especially to xyz` and k4y0z for your effort and your contributions! This is amazing!
I have an Amazon Fire HD 8 (karnak) with FireOS 6.3.1.2 which I want to root, unlock and install LineageOS on.
With 6.3.0.0 on another tablet, I already performed this procedure successfully.
As k4y0z writes in https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd...nlock-fire-hd-8-2018-karnak-amonet-3-t3963496 that a hardware-change in combination with the soft-brick method could lead to a real brick rendering the device unusable, I went for the hardware method.
What I did:
1. Disconnect tablet
2. Run "bootrom-step.sh"
3. Shorten CLK to GND and at the same time connect the tablet to USB
4. I get the message to remove the short and confirm with ENTER
--> flashing occurs and I find myself in fastboot mode (the tablet also shows up when I do a "fastboot devices")
5. Run "fastboot-step.sh"
--> flashing of recovery and misc occurs, followed by a reboot
Then I see the "Amazon" logo flashing shortly and then the screen stays black. I tried pressing power and the volume-keys shortly, twice, for a long time, ... nothing happens.
If I disconnect and reconnect USB I see the "Amazon" logo flashing again. The device is not in fastboot mode, ("fastboot devices" shows no device) nor is it in adb mode ("adb devices" also shows no device).
Luckily the steps below can be performed again and the flash procedure happens again so I can always get into fastboot mode but then I'm stuck flashing the TWRP with the fastboot-step.sh...
I tried the files from karnak-3.0, karnak-3.0.1 as well as the original amonet-v2, all with the same issue.
Can anybody please shed some light here? What am I doing wrong? Is there anything else I can try or is the tablet unusable now (which I cannot believe as there is fastboot access).
I am in fact running Debian 10 on a VirtualBox on my MacBook with USB forwarding to the Virtual Machine but I'm not sure if that can be the issue as all the flashes are working just fine.
Thanks for your support!
How old is the tablet? Anything bought January or newer is potential unlock-blocked....
Thanks for your answer, Michajin.
The tablet was bought in February 2020. Does that mean I'm out of luck getting LineageOS to run on this tablet?
Would the error I am seeing fit the unlock-block? I had the feeling that all the installing went through just fine, just TWRP is not loaded correctly, right?
Thanks!

If the fastboot-step finishes as success you have TWRP (fastboot step is just the flashing of twrp replacing stock recovery). You should be able to hold the volume down and press the power button, this will boot the device into recovery.
Thanks, Michaejin! That did the trick. Pressing those buttons yesterday didn't help as the tablet was somehow turned on, now I disconnected and reconnected the battery and pressed VolDown + Power and got into TWRP!
Great! Thanks again!

You can also hold the power button for about 10 seconds to force a power down, so you should have to pull the cover off in case something goes wrong. Likely the device was stuck in preloader or bootrom.
