Storage [Q] Most in depth brick I'm sure you'll ever see. . .

Alright from the get go. I am running 10.3.1. I rooted using a tutorial from this site, it was rather easy. It only took me like 25 minutes and then to add the Play store, another 25. I had it running perfectly fine with GO launcher and it was the way i liked it till I saw NEXT launcher and I wanted that instead. I had GO still running and being a noob I thought if I installed NEXT launcher that it would be able to be set by default when I was asked and that would be it. From what I can tell they were fighting for the kindle's affection and it was at a constant refresh directly after the install. I then soft reset it and I'm stuck at a kindle fire screen. The animation is very fast, with no delay between ending and beginning again. I tried today using the KFU to no avail. I also tried to reinstall the drivers, nada. my computer in device manager does read it, "other devices" Kindle" Uppercase "K". I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I cannot get the SDK to work on my computer. Even with the correct environment setup, nothing. I've viewed plenty of other fixes, none help my situation, not because I don't think they do, but because I've tried. When I KFU I get a Waiting for Device, nothing further happens (40 minute waiting period). I tried to Recovery boot and I tried to push TWRP, nothing. I'm at a loss. To be clear idk what fastboot is and I don't know how to "code" anything so anything help in detail, would be awesome, you guy are a great community and I wouldn't dream going any where else for expertise. Thanks for any help. Btw AMA and I'll try and best accommodate so I can fix this

I guess from your words that you installed a new launcher and probably you forgot to fix permissions. After that you tried a lot of things without success. I recommend you to buy a factory cable, get into fastboot a then yowill be able to restore

1. You should have a fast boot cable. I bricked last week and SkorPon sent me one in 7 days. I am now back in business running CM10.1

2. If you have the Kindle up and running and you're computer isnt recognizing - reinstall the drivers from Device Manager (Update Drivers button and manually find the Android drivers on the C: drive) This simple task has done wonders for me. Try it.
