[Q] Kindle Fire 2 is bricked

[Dill185]

Hey, I was stupid and tried to install a rom without factory-resetting my kindle. Now I am stuck at the splash logo boot loop. I tried the unbrick utility, but it can't find my kindle. I have access to fastboot commands, but not adb. Don't ask me why, I just can't use adb. I don't know how to restore my kindle to a working state. I have a fastboot cable available. Thanks in advance. Im a noob btw.:crying:

I'm guessing it's looping from the kindle fire screen not the cm10.1 screen, correct? If so, you can use the command, "fastboot -i 0x1949 -w". That will wipe userdata and cache. But if it's looping without even loading the rom that's probably not going to fix it.

Ok, I am now not stuck on the splash logo. i reflashed the recovery and boot partitions and now it is trying to boot, but there is currently no os installed. Is this a good sign that I can fix it? I am in slc for the weekend and cant flash the system partition yet.

Another question. I tried installing twrp on my recovery, but i cant boot into it. it wont show the blue logo. do i need an os installed to use it?

Yes. os MUST be installed for our recovery to function. Specifically a file called 'stack' has to reside on the system partition

Thanks a bunch. i restored the system partition last night, and it fixed. i plugged it in to charge, and this morning, it was back at the kindle fire logo. Did i do something wrong?

Doesn't sound like it.

Were you able to get it to boot back up?

Ok, I figured out it was a OTA update that re-bricked it. I am downloading a custom rom right now. I finally got it to work! Thanks for all your help.:victory:

Another question. I downloaded the CM10.1 zip shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963

I try to flash it in twrp, but it keeps saying error flashing zip

What do I do?

 

[mindmajick]

Sounds like a bad download. Redownload and adb sideload from pc

i got similar problems. rooted it, but i got afterwards some problems with superuser applications. ran sveral rooting methods, but at some point, it stucked now with the orange "kindle fire" logo.
tried also to use different recoverys (kindle-fire-ultility2, KF2_SRT_10.2.3) but nothing helped. i cant reach the device anymore. adb says: no device in list and fastboot: <waiting for device>

actually i use the supplied cable. or am i wrong to use it for fastboot. thought the supplied one is similar to the special fastboot cables from e.g ebay

/edit: sry, just realized after reading the FAQs, that the factory cable is a different one. sorry.
