http://forum.xda-developers.com – Back story: I purchased a used Kindle Fire on Ebay about a week ago, not knowing that it had been rooted. I was looking for a standard Kindle fire for my son so he would stop using my tablet (lol) and the parental controls are better and more books and so on... none the less when I got it I noticed that it booted differently (I had a kindle fire prior) and it booted into Android. I have had problems with trying to be able to get my computer to recognize it. It looks for missing drivers and I have been all frustrated, but figured that we would just have to download off of it, well, we went on a (HowTos)

[Q] Hard Bricked Kindle Fire 30 weeks 2 days ago

Ive rooted a few phones and tablets before and have never bricked a device (got close) until now. This kindle fire i believe is truly hard bricked. What happened was, I rooted it with the kindle fire utility, and when it rebooted it was stuck on the kindle fire logo screen. I let it run flat over night, and the next day it was still stuck.

The Kindle Fire 2 is now a part of the 7" Kindle Fire HD forum.

In terms of software, the Kindle Fire 2 is much closer to the 7" Kindle Fire HD than the original Kindle Fire. The two are similarly equipped with locked bootloaders, run ICS and share the same rooting method. Consequently, the KF2 has now been made a part of this 7" KF HD forum.

SWF to Kindle Fire converter can help Kindle Fire users play Flash SWF files on Kindle Fire by converting SWF videos to Kindle Fire supported MP4.

My Kindle Fire 1st Gen is rooted, but still has stock ROM. I've installed the latest drivers using the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6.

But now I can't access the kindle through a USB connected to my PC. So I can't copy a new ROM to the SD card.

When connected to my PC through USB cable, Device Manager shows it as Android ADB Interface - not Kindle.

As title suggests, prior to rooting the Kindle and flashing JB 4.4.2 I was able to access the Kindle via the ADB.

I had been rooted, with TWRP recovery, and CM7, and Gapps.

Wanted to go back to stock. Brought up Kindle fire utility, downloaded stock update, transferred to fire via usb, used TWRP to flash stock update.

Vola, back to stock kindle fire. Re-rooted with Kindle fire utility, and then my mistake, I flashed the CM7 Gapps into stock kindle.

Got stuck on "touch me android screen".
