PROBLEM KFHD 8.9 2nd Gen RED BOOT

JonnyLawless · Nov 6, 2013

I am an Android noob but I'm no stranger to hacking/modding. Well anyway while trying to unlock my KFHD 8.9 2nd Gen's bootloader to install TWRP or CWM I failed. It now boots to a red screen. I've tried restoring through ADB, ADB (Fastboot), KFFA, and KF-SRT. Nothing works tried all firmware and all options. the only thing I can do is get my device to communicate in fastboot mode. Does anyone have any info they can share to help out? Please and thank you.

You need to restore the stock boot loader, go here and download the 8.1.4 stock boot loader and I can't stress enough to verify the md5sum matches the one listed, if it doesn't you could end up with a hard brick. Anyways from there its as simple as running

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin

Okay so I tried it and now it boots dirrevtly into fastboot withor without cable inserted.

Um you did check the md5sum first right? Please make sure the device is showing up on your PC, and I would try something simple like

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

that might get it out of fastboot loop, if not restore the system and recovery partitions again.

Okay after flashing my recovery I restored my other partitions via Kindle Fire First Aide and it worked like a charm. Now I got a new issue but Im gonna hafta make a new thread for that.
