[Q] KFHD Tate Custom ROM Failure - Brick recovery

[ad0sm]

Hi, Newbie question.
I have a 2nd Gen Kindle Tate that I was looking into installing CM11 on. Up until recently I have managed ok with it being rooted and running apks and apps from Google Play.
Major issue at the moment where I seem to be stuck
Here's what I have done:

A few months ago I had updated the Firmware to 7.5.1.
I had rooted it using Saferoot (Busybox), which has worked fine.
I tried to install CM11 but after failed attempts I found out it couldnt with the current firmware so needed to downgrade to 7.2.3 (Using KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0 tool )
I had stupidly replaced the boot.img & recovery.img files without a backup (BIG BIG mistake i know!)
I wasnt able to boot into the OS anymore
I also tried to install TWRP & COTR using the KFU 0.9.9
Since it turned off I hadnt been able to turn it on since.
I have tried leaving on the charge for hours and still nothing (2A cable).
I have a fastboot cable.

Is there anything I can do or is it completely dead?



Read somewhere before that you can short the KF to make it boot (sort of like a PSP Pandora battery). if this is true any guidance on this.

perhaps a SkOrPn cable?...but cannot find one

before you get too drastic. check adb drivers, a hard boot then plug in to pc
does your pc see the device at all when you plug it in? if so maybe try the KFfirstaide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54274465&postcount=3416
or this one

You can restore a rooted stock image if you have the ability to get to fastboot.

doing the pin jump.
i got my other kindle into fastboot that way. but i didnt have a blank screen. and adb/fastboot still wont see it
im no guru. just at the point on that one that it didnt matter if it was bricked. i only noticed the other pins as the diagram kinda showed them in the same order. so i tried each one. lol
there is a group of 6 pins total.
power(no shut down. just on/off)* *
fastboot * *
Reboot/restart * *
