Hey guys, so my story:

I have a Kindle fire hd 7
I tried to install cyanogenmod on it, i bricked it. When i turn on the kindle, appears the logo and restarting, again and again and again....

I bought fastboot cable, works well, appears the Fastboot text on kindle, when i plug in the usb to laptop.
Downloaded Android SDK, installed the adb driver. U see in the picture, works well.

When i write adb devices, shows nothing device.

And when i write adb kill-server, write nothing.

If i write adb start-server.

Check attachments.

What should i do?

Adb commands don't work with fastboot mode, you need to run fastboot commands. Try "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and it should report back something if it works. BTW this is the wrong section, I only mention this because I have been seeing a lot of misplaced threads in here lately.

OK good its working fine then, restore the device with kindle fire first aid or srt and it should boot into amazon os. From there you can start the 2nd bootloader procedure again.

Thanks for the reply!

I downloaded the first aide. When i choose the Display the fastboot status.

In the next step i see that: the system can not find the path specified

I'm not one to use kffa since I just do all the stuff it does manually so my knowledge of it is fairly limited, but did you follow its instructions, only thing I could guess at is I think the instructions mention setting up its paths. I'm guessing it couldn't find the fastboot binary so it displayed that but I'm not sure.

When i start to restore my kindle, just waiting at daemon progress, and nothing happen, i checked the task manager and i see the adb.exe.

Why? why i need to wait more?

That's probably be cause you answered a question wrong, i know that it asks a question when you goto restore it, something like "is it in fastboot mode" or "would you like to put it in fastboot mode", but since it is already in fastboot mode there is no need to tell it to because adb commands don't work with fastboot.

I did, i got the first message on the 1. pic.

after that i got second picture, and the window closes :/
well that's just great... try it again, md5sum if you didn't know is basically a way of verifying a files integrity, to make sure it is exactly like the original, if we didn't do these kinda checks and flashed a bad image like for instance the bootloader it would hard brick. Anyways it means it just had a bad download. It could have been a random packet drop, maybe something to do with admin rights, or perhaps the file was down on the site it was hosted on, you will just have to try again and see if you can get it to work. I don't have a copy of kffa handy or i'd check the url it downloads form for you.
