I'm another noob that made the same mistake as the others in this post. Is there any chance of a fix for this coming along? Or should I just give up on my Kindle and bin it. Thanks.
So is there a solution for completely bricked KF 10.2.6 or not, or do you know whether there is somebody out there that is working towards the solution?
Mine doesn't turn ON at all after I flashed FFF Gapps and Jellybean 4.2 using TWRP (cordless).
Any help appreciated peeps :good:
I got the same problem - Black screen, No light in the Led button etc.
But so fare i got it responding to OMAP4BOOT butI I need the right files and config to UnBrick it - but as long as I get the response, there is hope
I you figure that out - please tell me :laugh:

thank god i read these posts.....i was abt to flasf FFF on my Kindle fire 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!:laugh:Wew.. It's been a while since I bricked my kf2 device... Tried shorting trick again for the last time... But still no luck.... t.t
Any other ideas guys? hehe
I'm in exactly the same boat as you, also flashed FFF (by accident) on my device. Haven't been able to fix it yet but I do have a factory cable. Also did the USB trick, but that didn't have an effect either.
In my case, I did by accident because it wasn't clear to me which KF generation I had (I've bricked mine just after christmas). These forums were not really clear either, I had a Kindle Fire so I just looked for a KF guide. After I bricked it I found out my device was a second generation Kindle Fire.
Hi,
Me too - I have the Kindle Fire HD7 2nd gen and mistook the guide for the KF 2nd gen to apply to mine. Anyone had any luck salvaging this? I'd be fine if I got get into fastboot but can't even get windows to recognise...

The only way to fix a hard bricked kindle is to solder a sdcard reader to the emmc pins on the motherboard and flash the bootloader partition from linux, lsat i checked we don't have the pins mapped out for the 2013 kfhd so that method is not doable yet. I think someone was mapping them out but i don't remeber if its the 2013 model or not. Think they mapped some of them out though just not all. The omap flash(also known as shorting trick) method isnt going to work either so don't bother attempting it, we need a signed aboot file only amazon has and without it its imposible to flash the bootloader in that mode.
Hi. So the other day I installed TWRP on my Kindle Fire successfully. The KF was at 10.2.6, I'm not sure if that means it's a Kindle Fire 2 or not. Anyways, when I went to flash FFF, I stupidly flashed the .zip as a bootloader, thus making my Kindle Fire completely unusable. When I press the power button, nothing at all happens. Nothing I do will make the screen turn on or the power button to flash in any way. I've tried using Firekit with usbboot and the shorting trick, but that hasn't worked for me.
Howdy. I just fashioned a factory cable, just jumping +5V to pin 4, right? It seems to be doing absolutely nothing. No lights or anything are turning on. The freedom boot just spits out "error: device not found" and hangs on "Pushing Stack". Again, I was under the impression that the factory cable only made it boot in fastboot if you already have a working bootloader. I'll try loading into Ubuntu and see what it says in terminal. Thanks
EDIT: So, when I type adb devices into terminal, I get:
The program 'adb' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'
Could this have been my problem to begin with?
EDIT 2: Well, I installed ADB. There are no devices found when I enter that command, and the shorting trick with still doesn't work. Ugh.
I tried the fastboot cable out on a working Kindle Fire, and it worked correctly, so I did wire it right. I did as you said, holding the power button down and then plugging in the cable, and nothing happens still on the KF2. I have access to the insides, should I unplug the battery? It should be around 85% charged. Thanks again.
Edit: BIG NEWS~ Not really. When I plug the Kindle Fire with the fastboot cable into Windows, it appears under Device Manager as "Unknown Device" with a yellow triangle, but nothing shows up on the Kindle, no lights or anything. Hmph.
