Hi,
Just bricked my brand new 8.9 Kindle Fire HD while trying to install superuser.apk. Any suggestions? Anyone? Please?
It is not responding to anything.
I tried holding down the power button.. with Volume buttons.. no go. It's just dead. Nothing happens on the screen. I read in a post that the factory cable does not work for Kindle Fire HD 8.9.
Update- Still No go. Please some one out there. Help!

I am in the same situation, did you have any success? My device is not responding to anything after I tried to root it. :crying::crying:

Several of us junior members seem to have made the same mistake, and now have dark KF8.9s unreachable by any means. Well, since my device is now bricked, there seems little risk in trying something. I intend to crack the case, remove and replace the battery, and see if I can then communicate and activate fastboot. I have run across mentions of a hard reboot trick involving a USB short. I have not read the details, but it is my impression that this is intended simply to force depletion of the battery, and cause a hard reset. If so, I can achieve the same result with the battery. Any other ideas? A reliable way to recover from this ultimately dire situation would be EXTREMELY valuable.
I did the same and bricked my KF HD 8.9"
This KFU-version seems to be a real KF 8.9"-killer.
The device does not respond to anything, regardless what I tried. Connecting to a PC does not trigger any reaction - not at pc-side and not at kindle-side. The device is not recognized by the PC in any way. I believe that there is no USB-communication at all. I tried a factory-mode cable and this didn't work, too.
Maybe the shorting trick could work, but one would need to know. where the respective pin is located in the new KFHD 8.9
I do not believe that removing battery power helps. The shorting trick is is not a hard reset, it will force the device booting via USB.
If the KFHD 8.9 is able to do so and if the other tools like Firekit could help then - I do not know...
Any good news? I am just trying to recover from a similar situation...
Unfortunately, no success yet. Please post here if you have any success with the issue :crying::crying::crying:
If you guys were talking about Android phones I would think you'd be looking at needing JTAG repair - I'm guessing that it's not all that different for what's basically and Android tablet. Look into that ?
There's the intermediate step of trying a jig - I don't know how this would work for a Kindle Fire, or if it would work with the state that your devices are in.
If there's no way to get it to even turn on, no way to get into download mode (I'd guess it has one ?), I'm guessing a JTAG repair service is your only hope to de-brick it, since that's the last resort when a device is hard-bricked beyond any ability to even turn on.
Sorry I can't be more help, I don't really know anything about the Kindle Fire in particular - but wanted to give you some ideas based on the fact it's basically an Android tablet.

I rooted my KFHD 8.9 and got it pretty stable. I think I used bin4ry on win 7. It was very nice.
Then Amazon, in their kindness, sent along OTA 7.3.
I had access but no root. So the first thing I did was 'adb backup -apk -shared -all -f <filename>'
I got back to root yesterday with soupkit (again) on ububtu running under vmware. I got it pretty stable. It was very nice.
But I didn't like the fact that my system partition only had 25MB free.
I read somewhere that you need a non-stock recovery to change the size of the system partion.
I had reason to trust soupkit since it got me to root. so:

hi guys, I am new to this forum and I just purchased a g tablet today. Because of all the reviews and info that I found here is why I decided to buy it. Now I am stuck trying to install the clockwork and tnt. I've been following to the t the instructions posted here and I even was able to convert tnt from .rar to.zip but I can't do crap!!!
is there anyone that can help me? Is there anyone here from Miami that has been able to do this and can help me out? I can pay a few $$ for your time and help.
thanks,
Frankie
if you get tntlite 4.4.0 just copy the update.zip into the root of the internal storage. make sure you are on the right stock rom 1st.
from there make sure you have a file in your internal called recovery it should have the command file in it (if it isn't in there you can ether make one of copy the one he has packaged with 4.3)
from there reboot holding the + vol and it will flash tnt lite 4.4
now as for CWM recovery.
once tnt is installed factory reset (trust me this will make things easyer and more stable)
go into the google market and get the terminal emulator
once you have this installed open it and throw in these commands.
SU
(this is for super user rights press yes once super user appears)
cwmrecovery.sh
(this command will execute a script that will load a flash tool and install CWM recovery it will only take a few seconds to flash)
from there you are done. i know it is backwords for installing recovery last. but sad to say this is how i did it. TNT lite has integrated a copy of CWM and the vanilla recovery and the dev has added a pack tool for being able to switch between these two recoveries.
okay! it's been 2 days playing with this g tablet and I am about to slamm it to the ground!!! I really don't get it! I've followed the steps one by one exactly how it is described in this forum and in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
And I've had no luck at all! it is still factory set. I can't even find the markewt or the Google Services Framework at the applications settings menu.
What the hell am I doing wrong here? please some one please help me!!
Thanks,
Frankie

Recently, I recieved an Amazon Kindle Fire 2nd generation from my cousin, who asked me to root it and install Jelly Bean. I accepted, and I have successfully rooted it. I then opened an APK which would allow me to boot it into recovery mode. Sadly, I don't have a fastboot cable, and I didn't really understand what I was getting into (very stupid mistake, please don't yell at me for being stupid, I know it was dumb.) Now the Kindle is stuck on a red screen, and my computer isn't recognizing, please, is there a way to get out of this situation without buying a fastboot cable? I will if I need to, if you can help, I would be very happy if you could write up or link a fix to me. Sorry for wasting your time if you can't!
Hi guys, i am new to this forum and would like some help on restoring a bricked (don't know how bad) android tablet. It first got jammed on the start screen logo because of an app that i uninstalled the wrong way. I then tried to reboot it and that is where the problem started, so I decided to try flash a nexus or TWRP or a CWM image with amd with no avail but my phone was detected. CMD kept on displaying that the size of the images were too large, but the RAMDISK.img flashed. After this I also tried sideloading the nexus 5 image, since that's all I could find in the bootloader that actually worked. Unfortunately, as soon as i copied it showed 'aborted' therefore I rebooted it and the cycle began
The battery then drained and now I can't access recovery mode or fast boot (only the menu) which eventually goes off after a few seconds, and when I plug it in, it shows the critical battery sign then tries to boot, but doesn't charge and does this repeatedly. It doesn't display the boot image at all.
It is an Alps LC 007 Tab with some MTK kernel and a custom recovery and bootloader. Is there any hope of reviving my tablet? Please help????????

Seriously? I came to this forum with a mild situation and now I've completely bricked my mt65xx device doing things I didn't know how to do. It's been 3 days!
DAY 1
I try use adb to undo soft brick but the battery dies and I can't access the bootloader or fastboot or recovery but just the boot menu.
DAY 2
I try use the SPF tool with not much knowledge from the YouTube videos I watched and I end up formatting my device with only a backup of the system.img (which isn't even an image).
DAY 3
The device is completely unresponsive after trying over and over with a little bit more knowledge from research.
Now I'm wondering what would've happened if I got a response at least to catch my attention and stop me from doing things without knowledge of what I'm doing. I'm not forcing People to help but at least reply so that I stop. 108 views and no reply. Sorry if I sound a bit too grumpy but I am not happy. .......

Hello Users,
I've the following problem: A few days ago my about 3-year old Motorola RAZR HD XT925 (O2 Germany) stuck in using and I tried to restart it with holding "power" and "volume down". After that my phone seemed to boot but stuck at the pulsing "M"-Logo. Nothing happens. I do not have any experience with flashing smartphones and all this stuff so I started to read here and on other websides how I could solve my problem and I came up to this page here in the forum: [TUTORIAL] How to Flash Stock Motorola Fastboot files.
Tried to do everything like shown but I came up to the step where I start RSD Lite (tried v6.1.4 and v6.2.4) and my phone should be listed but it does not. ATB & Motorola USB Drivers are installed, but when I start the Utility the programm is searching for update but finds nothing. (I think it can't cause my phone can't get into mass-storage-mode without booting, or?) Fastbootmode seems ok, everything like it should be.
Can't figure out how I should get my phone shown in RSDLite.
So if anyone could help me I would be so thankful, cause I really love my RAZR and don't want to bury it! Additional needed information and/or pictures are no problem if needed!
Thanks in advantage!
(I apologize for any kind of grammar/spelling faults!)

Hi !
I have found a Kindle Fire HD and HDX both 8.9 , I`m not sure which exactly model you have , you might have flashed a wrong twrp so be sure that it is matching your exact variant
