[GUIDE] Bricked your kindle beyond something questionable? Rekindle it :)

Hi,
Just recently I had an issue with my kindle where it had entered the OMAP4430 USB BOOT MODE.
Nothing would show up on the screen and when plugging it into windows it came up as a OMAP4430 device. However, I couldn't install drivers or anything because it was in a constant loop of disconnecting and reconnecting. However thanks to the Developers on the IRC and a response in my thread by pokey9000 (Creator of the utility we are going to use).
1. Download the rekindle utility from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20565446
2. You need to be running a flavour of linux such as Ubuntu or Debian (You can install using Wubi).
3. Follow the steps in that guide. If you are on a 64bit linux you need to type in:
apt-get install ia32-libs (as a root user using sudo or su root)
4. Your Kindle should now be ressurected.

i think rekindle utility and firekit should be made up again for cm9 or latest amazon updates bcoz the given version is of dec 2011.when cm9 didnt come up..

Sure can bud... Here is a link to my guide that you should follow.... If you did you would not have this problem. There are two ways that you can fix it manually and automatically. The automatic way was just updated onto my guide today but is for windows only. The manual way is right under that update for individuals that want to do it to understand things better or on a different os on their pc... Good luck and if you have anymore problems, you can feel free to pm me and I can either walk you through it on irc or teamviewer....
DONT FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED YOU PLEASE!!!!

Which version of kindle fire utility did you use? You have to be sure that it is ver.0.9.1 because the version before that there was a problem with the twrp file in older versions of the kindle fire utility.
Also are you sure that your battery was charged before you started to do this?
Like I said if you continue to have problems I can get on teamviewer with you and show you how to reinstall the drivers manually so that you can access your adb shell to change fastboot. Just pm me if you have anymore problems and need someone to do it for you..

i used the last version of kindle fire utility 0.9.1 and the battery was charging, I believe that now is completely discharged
I'm installing latest version of Windows XP on vmware, if you want to help me after I would be grateful...
sorry again for my bad english

I sure will make sure that you get teamviewer if you do not already have it. When you are using windows xp make sure your .android folder is in the proper place
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\
Just making sure that your .android folder is in the correct place. It should be though if you installed root and android market already though.

nothing, now the kindle fire don't start enymore i think the battery is over.....

[Q] [HELP] Kindle Fire dead display

Hi, i got my kindle fire 3 days ago. The first day I installed ice cream sandwich, the March 19th ICS CM9 Kang ROM, everything was running excellent and smooth. Last night, before going to sleep I plugged it. This morning i press the power button and it wakes up, but after 2 minutes of use the screen started to flash in gray tones, I though it had crashed and reboot it(press the power button for 25 secs), after I turn it back on it shows the FIREFIREFIRE triangle for 1 sec and started to flash this awful gray screen. And after that it didn't show any image, the back light turns on but it doesn't show nothing.
I know its booting into ICS because I still get the email alert sound.
I'm thinking on returning it as i bought it at a local walmart. I'm just concern about the fact its flashed to ICS. I know the way on how to take it back to stock, the thing is i just can't see anything on the screen and I'm not sure if the touch sensors still work.
Also when i plug it to the pc and run the KFU it show the status as offline and the power button turn orange.
I really don't know what to do right now, i guess it's just bad luck for getting a defective one. Any tip, advice or suggestion will be appreciated.

Is adb working? Use adb or fastboot to install the stock room

Hey thank you for your answer, Excuse me but I'm not that experienced with android and adb, can you tell me how to check if adb is working. Also how to install the stock rom through it.

OK, plug kindle into computer, go to cmd, change directory to android-sdk/platform-tools, type:
Code:
adb
adb remount
adb devices
then your kindle serial should popup in cmd... report back and I can help.

I just need to mount the usb storage to copy the official update in the kindle's sd card root and then try to restore using TWRP it being blind wow. Any other ideas?

would you do me a favor? please, if you have cm9 can you upload screenshots of this specific screens on your kindle?
-locked screen on portrait mode.
-screen when you plug your kindle to your computer and it ask you to mount as USB massive storage on portrait mode.
I will try to restock it this way cuz i already tried with the KFU drivers and is not working and i dont know if i have adb enabled on the kindle.

Recover the Y01 battery SHIELD Tablet (old) after booting the B01 battery one (new)

Not working anymore.
Sorry.

Do you mean that you had your old tablet already killed, and then you recovered it following these steps?

You can see it here, in my Twitter
https://twitter.com/victorcangil16/status/642389331768942592

Can anyone confirm this on a separate dead tablet? if so its a pretty damn good find.

Hi Victorcangil 16,
Could you exactly discribe how did you make this miracle (which drivers...) ?
Thanks

Ok,
Thx for your reply Victorcangil 16.
But how did your device was recognized by windows before done this process ? APX or something else

It was reconized as normal device by Windows, like if I plug my phone to the PC. And the drivers I had to configure them manually, if not, It gives me error when doing FastBoot

It stay on :"<waiting for device>"
And my tablet is not reconized as normal device but as "APX"

What does APX mean?

Change the ADB drivers interface using the next process:
Search in Windows: Device Manager
If the ADB interface has a Yellow alert, Right Click, Update Drivers, Select from Computer, Use Disk, Use all, and then select the file in the NVIDIA Drivers folder (in my case, Downloads). Accept,

But i think i got the problem : my tablet wasn't rooted and the bootloader was locked...
I think you saved your shield because it was rooted...

I thinks is that. If is has not unlocked bootloader, you can't change nothing. But to unlock it, just type in Fastboot: "fastboot oem unlock" (tablet will Factory Reset)

Hi, one question for such kind of reactivation - root is required ?

Yes, Root and Unlocked Bootloader are required ro recover the "killed" Tablet

Just bought by mistake deactivated Shield...is it possible to make root via fastboot ?

How to Unbrick my phone

Hello, intelligent readers,
I own a tablet. My tablet is an Amazon Fire HD 10 7-generation
My problem is I've been trying to "root/en" it with the "One Click Root" method
and it failed at 98% with the error message (Fail).
After a reboot (Loop/t)( it's the "Fire" logo all the time but I still get into the "Amazon system recovery <3e>")
with the following selectable options;
1. (reboot system now)
2. (apply update from ADB)
3. (wipe data/factory reset)
4. (wipe cache partition)
5. (reboot to bootloader)
Six. (power down)
7th (view recovery logs)
Important information:
Linux and Windows 7 64-bit "I can follow all instructions, trust me"
"E:Battery level is too low to perform update or factory reset" Do I need a cable with transistors?
Phone is not recognized via USB (you may need the correct driver) (Manual)
I hope and pray to God that you can help me with my problem.

I was rooting with (one click root) it failed at 98% and now it's looping the fire logo for eternity.
I can boot the recovery mode but;
"low battery state" won't go away after 10hours charging.
Phone is not recognized per usb (maybe right driver needed)
got Linux and Windows 7 64bit (I am able to do all instructions trust me)

Obviously you'd use the correct firmware for your device instead.

Please do not tell me I have to pay 50€ (in my country) for a repair. Tell me what the professionals do. Only as long as the equipment costs less than 50€. Because I have 2 devices that are even worse bricked.

Since ur another phone isn't detected on fastboot mode.. I think there's something wrong with either the usb port, cable,drivers or your laptop.. Special factory cable isn't necessary in this case.. Lemme try to search if there's other people getting this problem... Btw can u factory reset?

Well actually i think this isn't necessary.. Since his phone is just soft bricked(that method is for hardbrick, however it can fix softbrick but its more complicated than the fastboot method that i told him.. And his pc doesn't detect his tablet while it's on fastboot mode.. And both method requires fastboot mode..

I got bootloop before on my tablet (2-3 months ago) and i fixed it by reinstalling the firmware using adb push(fastboot method) ..my tablet was detected on fastboot mode and the tablet is back alive..
