Hi Everyone, can you kindly help me regarding this. I was recommended to ask for assistance from @ggow @draxie or @Davey126
I just was able to root my Kindle Thor and open up google play store yesterday, thanks to the help of Yousucks2, see belows Posts 83 to 90 of page 9
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ki...artially-fire-os-to-proper-rom-t3421623/page9
My problem started on page 10 from Posts 91 to 94 (which I will summarize here)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ki...rtially-fire-os-to-proper-rom-t3421623/page10
---- After rooting and being able to use Play store on my Kindle Fire Hdx 7 Thor, I was trying to access a game that was region locked, I tried several things and apps like VPN changer, then it led me to this app, Region Changer that was asking for root access, which I allowed. It was a last ditch effort and I shouldn't have used it and I should have just given up trying to access that game.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.TigerHuang.RegionChanger&hl=en
After using the app and allowing root access, I chose korean and while it was changing my settings to korean (I thought I could just change it back to English later, after I'm able to access the game) It froze my kindle for 5 minutes and I couldn't move anything, so i rebooted my device.
Kindle stuck at Kindle Fire logo with the “Kindle” word being white and “Fire” word being orange.
According to yousucks "Looks you soft bricked the tablet, the root access you allowed, probably change it some UI elements, and thats why the OS refuse to starts and stays on a loop"
I recommend you ask for assistance to @ggow @draxie or @Davey126 , they have high tech tknowledge levels to help you in this case , but you need explain what you did exactly ,and have the necessary tools and knowledge to apply the procedure (if be possible)
Open a new thrad asking for asistance.
Can someone help me or walk me through the procedures of unbricking this tablet, i remember doing Adb some time ago when modding my Fire Stick Tv.
Any help will highly be appreciated, Thank you.
More relevant info needed
Interestingly enough, it matters less how you got into this state,
than what we have to work with. And, your post is a bit short on
those details. I understand your device was rooted. Other than
that, I'm guessing that it was stock FireOS (locked bootloader, no
TWRP)? Can you confirm? If so, what version?
And, the most important question(s) of all: how does the device
show up when connected to your computer (via USB)? Does it
respond to adb commands?
Hi draxie, device was just rooted the other day and was running on fire os 4.5.5.3
I haven’t use any twrp on it
I still haven’t connected it to my computer via Usb since I’m awaiting instructions on how to access it using adb commands
I just read this
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ho...use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/amp/
Do i need to install adb on my computer or the command line will do?
Sorry first time for me doing this can you guide me, the last time i did something similar was modding fire stick tv using command line and following instructions online

here is the adb and fastboot only if you dont want to install the whole package
if your phone could be detected we will see what can we do from there
Hi draxie, thanks, i unzipped the file from your link and installed all the exe on it. I was getting these
https://ibb.co/nxJtaR
https://ibb.co/cS5vpm
There must be a problem on my installation? Since it’s also showing on my friends kindle 5 & 7 the same thing “list of devices attached” even though they’re not soft bricked and usb debugging was allowed on those tablets
Sorry i read wrong, it was hope who sent that link, thank you hope

did you try to do a factory reset ?
i guess doing that must reset the values changed by the app.
When I couldn't shut down the kindle, and it was stuck on the logo for more than an hour, i tried holding the power button around 10 seconds, and that could have done a factory reset of the device?
I figured what was missing when adb wasn't listing devices when testing kindle 5 & 7, i was missing the usb drivers for the laptop to recognize the kindles, so i installed it and both kindle 5 & 7 were recognized when typing "adb devices" on command prompt
But it still doesn't recognize kindle fire hdx 7 thor, and when i type adb devices it shows "list of devices attached" only and I get a notification everytime I plug it says "USB device not recognized" and everytime I try to install driver it says driver is up to date
I read this post #19 on this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200750&page=2
"if your issue is not hardbrick, which mean that you tablet can power up and display something on the screen then you have a chance to get it fixed, just look for the thread here and you will find a way to fix it."
I hope there's still a way to make this work
VID/PID??

Nope.
Not that it would help, but FYI: stock recovery
can do a factory reset, but that normally only
wipes your user-specific data. And, from what
you described the issue is probably a botched
build.prop in your /system partition (which is
NOT touched by a factory reset).
If you like you could try to enter stock recovery
by fully powering off the device (hold the Power
button until the screen goes black). And, then
holding the Volume-Up button and pressing
(and holding) the Power button until the grey
Kindle Fire logo appears.

Are you using the official Amazon drivers?
https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-tablets/ft-set-up-your-kindle-fire-tablet-for-testing.html
Some people had better luck with other drivers
(which I cannot recall as I don't use Windows).

Could you _PLEASE_ check in Device Manager what
VendorID and ProductID your unrecognized USB device
reports to your system (assuming it enumerates)?
Hi Draxie, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Here are the images of the kindle fire, it seems that there is no vendor id and product id showing up in the details when I go into properties.
https://ibb.co/hmHVPm

I also cannot install the driver that I downloaded before and also from the link you sent.

Thanks for the instructions regarding stock recovery, should I try it?

My point in doing factory reset was that: if the app changed only values in /data partition then this might allow you to boot up correctly
Rather than that you will have to flash stock frimware
No computer expert, eh? (-;

In the dialog shown in the image above,
could try to select some _other_ property
(like VID / PID) beyond 'Device description'
from that drop-down menu?? (-;

Personally, I doubt that changes in /data would stall
the startup process at such an early stage, but if the
data on the device is of no significant value (and/or
backups were taken), then it may be worth a try to
see if a factory reset helps.
@-Hope-: could you HIDE or otherwise tone down
your substantial signature? It hurts the eye... (-;

I do too but its worth a try
A last resort would be getting stock to be flashed
Removed the signature:laugh:
Hi Hope, Draxie,
Sorry I didn't get it about the VID/PID beyond device description lol know i understand went to plug the kindle and it wasn't as the same as before showing kindle on portable devices, this is what is showed
https://ibb.co/hp6wVR
Weird because it was showing kindle earlier, i tried to reboot device holding power button for 10 seconds and even rebooted PC, anyway since no kindle was shown on portable devices like before, i just got it from a pop up that showed regarding an unknown device when I plugged in the kindle
https://ibb.co/dbr24m
And there was no VID/PID I saw on the drop down list beyond device description
https://ibb.co/kg5OAR
https://ibb.co/dBVOAR
I doubt the kindle is the G because when I plugged the kindle earlier it showed G and Kindle separately
This was it earlier
https://ibb.co/hmHVPm
Regarding the G
https://ibb.co/dm3bVR
https://ibb.co/h6EiAR
https://ibb.co/fstX4m
https://ibb.co/bRsQPm
Is this the VID/PID below in between No connect sound and Class Long name
https://ibb.co/kxSs4m
I'm just checking so later when I'm able to go on the drop down list for the Kindle I got the correct values, the question is why is the kindle not showing on portable devices compared to now.
Also before I do a factory reset by:
fully powering off the device (hold the Power
button until the screen goes black). And, then
holding the Volume-Up button and pressing
(and holding) the Power button until the grey
Kindle Fire logo appears.
Is there a risk I may hard brick the device if I do a stock recovery? Or not really?
Also I know it's not the G:\ cause even when I unplug the kindle the G:\ is still showing
I'm still trying to make the kindle show in device manager in portable devices, will update you when it shows up there.
Also I just remembered - when I plugged in the kindle earlier to find it in device manager, there was no more battery, and while it was plugged in the USB it showed the red no battery sign, and while it was plugged in the USB port it charged the kindle and when it powered up it was then I saw it in the device manager
https://ibb.co/hmHVPm
But now even if I plug or unplug it, no kindle it showing on device manager
I probably should let the battery die and repeat the same thing, so I can get the VID/PID for the Kindle beyond the device description
Or should I do a factory reset now, no risk of hard brick?

What was the phone's frimware version? <=1314.3.2.6.*?
Hi,
I am on Linux. I have no access to a windows PC.
I never owned this kind of device. I only have one ASUS tablet, which I could root years before with the valuable help of this forum.
This Samsung Phablet (or tabone or whatever) in question was given to me for free because it can't longer be booted by the owner.
Symptoms:
Bootloop: It starts displaying "Galaxy Samsung..." but nothing more (no blue "whirl" as shown in some YouTube videos).
It stays there for ever and it can only be switched when it starts charging and while charging the USB plug is pulled.
By pressing the on/of switch and volume up the android robot is displayed with opened front and the rotating "nuclear something".
A progress bar steps up to to 25% then the robot is shown briefly on its back with a triangular red warning sign and a black exclamation mark on it.
By pressing the on/of switch and volume down I can enter ODIN mode and from there I can enter download mode.
Being the Tablet in Download mode I can "talk" to the phone with "Heimdall" which is the ODIN-Tool replacement for Linux.
I successfully downloaded t a "pit file" ... but I have no clue whether this is a success or for what this is good for...
As I try to repair/save things from being thrown into the dumpster I want to ask, what I can try to save this tablet. There are no
data on the tablet, which need to be saved.
What should I try next?
PS: The battery seems to ok as far as I can see...
Cheers!

What is the model name on the back of the case?

Download the firmware for your country (I assume the tablet was not associated with a mobile operator) from the >site<
and flash through Odin. A short instruction is on the firmware page.
From where I can download the appropriate firmware - the tablet is about 9 years old... ?
PS: Sorry...I overlooked the link in your post - thanks a lot for your help.
Cheers!

...this hasn't worked for me:
I can "detect" the device with heimdall and I can download the pit-file.
But as soon I try to flash something, there is a "protol failure" and heimdall
stops working.
Any idea else?
Cheers!

Are you using a compatible version of zadig with heimdall?
I use the >heimdall package< made by The Muppets< for many devices and have not had any problems with this version.
If heimdall shows messages, quote them here in full.
