Hi there!
So I was looking around for a tutorial how to unbrick the Kindle Fire from its Blinking Logo issue, When it turns on my computer sees it with the fast boot cable (extra pin 5 shorted on Vcc I think... I bought it off ebay_). So I was looking for a step-by step tutorial how to unbrick the damn thing and I couldnt find something definite. I found one tutorial but instead of giving instructions on flashing it they start talking on how to find the cable (unless I missed something).
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418092
Also they said that it is very important which version it is. If the kindle is stuck on the flashing screen is there a way to figure it out?
Thanks in advance! Any info anybody needs let me know!

Hey everyone,
I managed to root this phone and I figured that the LG Ally and the Shine Plus were the same so I followed a guide on a another forum telling how to force the Froyo update on the Ally which I tried on the Shine Plus (big mistake) now I can't even boot at all let alone in to recovery. It will turn on, flash the white screen with the LG logo and then turn off. Can anyone help me reset the phone to factory or at least make it to recovery or something? Or can someone tell me how to install an image to the phone from my computer? I've looked every where and I have no idea what to do. So thanks for the help in advanced.
Just a quick bump, but I really need to fix this. Anyone?
Wow man, that really sucks. Not really sure what you can do. If you're not even getting to recovery there may be nothing. But don't take my word on it. Just hopefully someone with a solution will reply.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
download the LG update tool. Choose your country, then connect your phone to the computer.
It should see it and ask you to update it to the latest OEM software.
Hope you got it too work (saw it was two months ago)
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!
Hello everyone,
My first time in this site and been reading a lot of posts. I wonder if anyone can help me out with this problem.
I was dusting off my old nexus 7 in order to use for college. The current lollipop versions brought the speed of the device way down. I been reading that plenty of people have the same problem with the new version. I went searching for a way to revert back to kitkat so my tablet can be usable again. Anyways after reading and watching videos I found a good one. I would post it but since I am new tot the forums it restricts me. I followed it step my step even downloaded the correct nexus 2012 wifi kitkat version but when I was flashing the device on the command prompt it kept saying telapia folder was not found. I made sure the file was placed correctly but was still giving me the error. Then I made the mistake of unplugging the usb cable then the tablet shut down. Now the screen won't turn on and under device manager it shows the device as an "APX." I know the physical hardware isn't damaged because I can here the ding noise when I plug the tablet to the computer. Please if anyone has a step to step guide to recover the device that would be awesome. Thank you.
Hi,
Unfortunately, it does not look good for your device. You can read a similar situation here, and try what's recommended...

Other than that, you may not have any luck here.
But I hope you figure it out somehow! :good:
Hello good kind hearted fellow reading this,
I was trying to root my Old NVIDIA Shield tablet LTE which I foolishly updated to 6.0 so I could remove the tegra.OTA apk and prevent the kill switch.
I first followed the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/how-to-root-nvidia-tablet-android-6-0-t3280671 then lost Wifi.
I then decided to follow the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/unofficial-update-original-shield-t3281541, then after step 3 where I flashed the blob.img, I rebooted the tablet as directed, but now nothing happens. It won't come on so I can proceed with the procedure, It is not recognised in ADB, It only shows up in my device manager as APX when I plug it in and shows the green/orange light which indicates charging. The screen remains BLACK>
The bootloader is already unlocked
Is all hope lost??? Is there anyway to revive this? PLEASE HELP ME...
I have read through threads which i searched for using the keyword "BRICK", but I dont seem to be able to find anything that can help.
Thanks a bunch!
Only NVIDIA can help you, once your Tablet does not boot into the bootloader

Just call NVIDIA and talk to them. If it's only a software problem (flashing gone bad), they can fix it in 10 minutes. As far as I can remember somebody in the first thread I linked, talked about returning the tablet for repair after talking to them.
Problem: You have purchased a China Lenovo S856 smartphone and tried to flash ROW ('Rest of World') firmware to it for whatever reason. You now have a softbricked phone that won't boot past the Lenovo screen.
Solution: Download the following files, which are a little tutorial with pictures, as well as the correct China firmware for your s856 and the Flashing tool to use....https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzQTMtaXFXZEFNbHc https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzRTk4ZTB3c1VDdzA https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6knvSQRiKPzWVA2UENuY1NYTkk
All the solutions I have seen so far were sketchy at best and very difficult to comprehend, let alone use to unbrick your phone. This is what worked for me, and my attempt to help anyone else with the above problem.
That is all, and good day to you.
Thanks for your help, but my problem looks very difficult now, because the system cannot recognize the phone and the phone refuse to boot on. What do you advice?

Hello...
My system did not recognize my phone, either. Nor would it boot up... it was bricked. This tutorial is for people who are exactly in your situation. I would suggest downloading the files I have uploaded, and reading the tutorial.

Finally got the process started,...but after 7s I got and error message Reached the end of the file.(0x80070026: Receiving hello packet)
Could it be my PC (win 10 32 bit) problem or what do you think?
This happened to me as well, the first and second time I tried the flash. There is a trick which worked for me... I pulled the battery out and put it back in and while holding the volume 'up' button, I plugged my phone into my computer usb port and let windows install the driver. It took a few seconds and then I clicked 'refresh' on the Miflash window, which I had left on. At this point the 'flash' button became available and I clicked on it. This time the flash was successful. Try it.
