Whatever you do do not do a factory reset and less you are about to drop it in the mailbox
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2781665. Post 66. And Have you read and tried last three pages here ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588608 and check read last three pages of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782159 and include read OP on both thoroughly... If you have follow directions to T ..Too no avail .. Then there is probably no help to be had for you I apologize... That is without fastboot capabilities and an unlocked boot loader.

I'd read this and can't get it so well
My problem is adb don't regonize my device, and I can't do anything with adb command

you followed all the directions on how to install sdk and uninstall old drivers ect http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588608 again the last 3 pages here are about installing the sdk to get it to see ....like I said before if you have done this and follow through and not just looked at it and thought it might not work then there's probably no help for you. Sorry folks if you don't understand and know how to use this info..there is hardly no help for you because currently there is not a 1 click solution...besides a call to amazon.....

You have the JDK & Android SDK installed? Occasionally I had issues connecting to adb when recreating previous bootloops & soft bricks. It seems that it gets hung up in a stat that Windows doesn't like. The only way I could get adb to function at these times was to run a Linux distro or on a Linux machine. You can download the wubi installer for dual booting Unbuntu, which is what 99% of people that have had issues have done to regain adb access. Linux just seems to play better with Android & the Android SDK tools, which really isn't surprising.

NO. This is not an OMAP device & it does NOT use uBoot, so factory cable is useless. Try a different USB port. Also, if you installed Linux, you still have to install the Java JDK & the Android SDK. There are some guides for setting up a build environment, which is pretty much what you need to do to really be able to use the tools in Windows or Linux. Taske a look here: Setting up a build environment in Unbuntu

You don't need Python or Gnu, nor the modules, but you must sdet up the JDK & the SDK & then set the paths.

as I said maybe something will come through QPST
at least QPST detects Kindle HDX 8.9 (gray logo and then a black screen) with factory cable
I also lock the device after editing build.prop
but I lack the knowledge and skills to continue this way (in order not to kill the device)

Yeah, I don't read chinese & google doesn't do a very good job translating it, so, not gonna even try.

HOWEVER, I do know that you will need the Lab126 HSUSB driver. I don't remember if this was the one I used, but it was similarly named, I think this is for the BC radio stack diagnostic bulk mode originally & worked for the HDX. http://www.driverscape.com/download/lab126-hs-usb-diagnostics-0800-(com39)


Actually, I remember playing with this & thinking it could be useful for some of the early HDX issue I ran across too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

You'll have to search around for it. Lab126 is the company that makes the HDX. That page only shows you the various driver names, the correct com port & identifies what device you want to see in device manager once you get QPST set up properly.

ths 4 your sharing, but it's not work with me too, I has tried with 2 laptop and 3 or 4 cables, but it's not work too, don't have any signal when I connect it. I can't understand why I can't be
if kindle bricked (for example after a failure edit build.prop - gray logo and black screen), pc not detect device with standart microusb cable, driver can not be installed, adb not working.

but if use factory cable (buy or make), then the device connect as a usb bulk. you may install the first driver to it.
further steps to recovery does not exist yet
