Hello my device is stuck in bootloop and wont be reconised by my computer unless it is connected by a factory cable i bought from 'EarlyBird' on Amazon.
The screen turns on as well as the green light, it flickers and then goes black. This just REPEATS. (also the kindle fire logo shows in white/orange).

Plugged my kindle in with factory cable and showed up in Device Manager as KIndle fire like it should.
I have drivers installed so this is why.
How can i make the kindle boot up again and work like normal?!?
Thanks.
If you need more info or can help please reply to this thread or PM me.

Ok thanks for the link, but I don't understand what to do? Could you please explain? Thanks

I recommend you read everything in that thread. Then read some more.

What I wrote in the original post is pretty self-explanatory. If you don't understand something I said then you haven't read enough.

This is NOT a basic device to work on. I also see you started in the Kindle fire 1 forums. If you flashed anything there you're already screwed.

I'm not sure if I said but my kindle fire isn't recognised when plugged in normal cable AT ALL so doesn't show up in adb devices. However when put in factory cable its recognised by device manager only. Adb devices does not see anything. Why is that ?
P.s remember my kindle is stuck at boot loop

Give me a pm if you have issues with my download link. I think there is probably enough info here to help.

The main thing is to have the right versions adb and fast boot available and you should be able to restore ok.

The OP has a problem, and what happens? 2 users get in a territory dispute :confused:

And now a Mod has to do clean-up. If you 2 wanna argue, go take it to the playground or something.

And if you can't post something more constructive to the issue, then just don't post.

In the meantime, the OP still has an issue, so hopefully some of the KF folks that want to help will get your issue fixed.

Cheers

@mindmajick asked you to PM him if the links aren't working. I'm confident he can help you with some things.

Just make sure you read and understand everything. Several times if need be.

KF's can be a bit tricky. I know. I fixed a local guys for him (never owned one myself)

I understand that your need to flash a new .IMG and a new system image. I believe that your download then has those files. I see from the text that I out the text/code into fastboot with kindle connect with fastboot cable. Then should reboot and work. Is that right? Does kindle have to show in adb devices for this to work as its not for me...

ADB is for pushing and fastboot is for flashing. No, while in fastboot you won't see ADB recognized. Try typing fast boot devices to see if fastboot is set up right and type fastboot getvar all in the command prompt to see if your device is recognized. Also if you're running Windows 7 X64 or Windows 8 you should disable Windows driver enforcement first.

Might be bad what i have done...

Yes you are correct. So is linearequation.

But use "fastboot -I 0x1949 devices" to be sure it's there. It MAY not show up otherwise.

Looks like one of the images didn't flash correctly.

What commands did you use?

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img

Yeah... looks right. But you really need the system.img
