You can't flash anything directly from fastboot without an unlocked bootloader.

How do I unbrick my kindle then? If I can't them i'm toast.
BUMP. I need this image ASAP...
You cannot flash it anyway. Fastboot cable works in other way on HDX.
You cannot unbrick your device.
Which state of your thor now?

Hi Guys,
I have been reading and trying this for two weeks now and Im lost still. Never had an issue where I just couldnt figure it out now i need to ask for some help. I have a Kindle Fire HDX 7 ITS BEEN ROOTED AND USED FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW WITH NO ISSUES. I decided to upgraade the ROM and installed the wrong version (apollo) how I done that is becide me, anyway now Im stuck in bootloop grey kindlefire screen. I do have ADB working whoever it is in a loop state so I have to be quick to insert commands. My bootloader is locked so im limited. I also am able to get into Fastboot and it works and also verified the device is locked. I have my download size 0x20000000 and I have my manfid 0x000045 and my device serial 0xf0bf7e1d . I just cant get the img created correctly or size correct c
would someone help me with the file creating and flashing procedure in fastboot to get my device working again? Im pure crosseyed at this point and about to use the Kindle as a Target at the range lol.
Thanks to anyone that can help
Which Fire OS version is on your HDX? The wrong Apollo version? Note that bootloader unlock is possible from 3.1.0 to 3.2.3.2 only.
The bootloader unlock procedure ist described here (might require these drivers). Note that you have to install the software mentioned, download the script and use it with your ID and serial to create the .unlock file.

I don't know, I'd hoped you'd still have the Apollo update file you flashed - it should have the version number right there in its file name.

Well, if you don't have 3.1.0 - 3.2.3.2 it doesn't make any sense anyway, but ...
it's easier than you think.
You open a DOS box, change dir to your ADB directory (enter cd\adb) then enter the following commands:
adb shell
cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/manfid
cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/serial
then open another DOS box, change dir to your Python Directory with the .py script (enter cd\python27 or whatever the path of your Python directory is), then
python.exe cuberHDX.py 0xmmssssssss
with mm being the last two digits of your ID, and the ssssssss being your serial, the script should create the .unlock file then.
So assuming the numbers you mentioned are correct the python command would be
python.exe cuberHDX.py 0x45f0bf7e1d
Copy/move the .unlock file to your ADB directory then, open another DOS box for the adb reboot-bootloader command, and yet another DOS box for the fastboot commands (change dir cd\adb both times before you enter the adb & fastboot commands):
fastboot -i 0x1949 devices
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash unlock 0xmmssssssss.unlock
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

thanks for the help, Well I guess I have been doing this correctly the whole time. Still getting Unload code not correct in fastboot, so apparently I have the noncapadible bootloader.
is there anything I can do with it besides taking it to the range for target practice?

Difficult to say, but it doesn't look good.
Did you figure out which Apollo update you flashed? Did you have Safestrap installed (probably not)?

¡Ay caramba!
It says not for Safestrap, because it says "This is for users with TWRP installed." in the introduction. Do you have TWRP installed? That would help of course. How did you flash the Apollo ROM anyway?

Then start TWRP (press and hold Volume up and Power On, release when the Kindle Fire logo appears on the screen), connect the HDX to your PC, download the Thor ROM, copy it to the HDX, and flash it in TWRP.
Kinda weird though you can not unlock the bootloader. You sure you have the real TWRP installed?

Tried to re-flash TWRP via adb? Dunno if flashing Apollo Nexus ROM could destroy TWRP. Do you know which Fire OS you were running when you installed TWRP, and before you flashed the Apollo Nexus ROM?

Man its been about a year or so since I rooted , I know I had to roll the update back before I could load the twrp rom.etc. I think it was the first Nex rom that was stable with kdx7

thats right I did have TWRP , I used it to install the file.
remote unlock code is not correct, would that mean my bootloader is updated and not repairable at this time? my date size is 0x20000000 i keep sending 536870912 to it, this is the problem correct?
When i create the unlock .img file and flash the device goes through the motion of loading but fails saying the the unlock code is not correct. The file size is 536870912 and the kindle fastboot says its 0x20000000. Is this the problem? Am I using the wrong cuberHDX file or what any help would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean the file size is 536870912? The file size of the .unlock file should be 256 bytes.
Did you install all software mentioned in the unlock thread, i.e. Python 2.7 and GMPY2 for Python 2.7?
Yes and Yes, I DID exactly like thread said and I get that file size...... 536870912 doesnt matter what T F I D....either.....I dont understand whats happening here but I guess its just my luck...... Been doing this for about 3 years now I guess Its time for me to BRICK ONE lol......................
Hey everyone I have a kindle fire 3rd gen HDX 7" (THOR) and my ultimate goal is to install a CyanogenMod OS instead of the stock fire OS. I have been following a youtube guide on installing CM and I was able to get it rooted. The guide instructed that I use an app called "fireflash" to flash TWRP, then install CM from there. Unfortunately I was unable to get fireflash to work, so I downloaded an app called "flashify" to flash "TWRP" as the recovery partition and "U-Boot" as the boot partition, as per the video's instructions.
Once I hit the flash button, the kindle for some reason booted into fastboot mode and it has been there ever since. After some research, I have tried to interact with my device in fastboot mode, but only commands that begin with “fastboot -i 0x1949” will work, and will not boot back into the stock OS, but instead gives the error message “FAIL: oem idme not allowed for locked hw.” When I give the command “adb devices”, nothing shows up. Also, when I try to flash TWRP, the command prompt simply tells me that the recovery image cannot be loaded. I am assuming that I need to unlock my bootloader to proceed, but I would appreciate it if someone could confirm this.
Sorry if this is a little long, but I wanted to be thorough. Can anyone suggest a way to either get back into stock fire os so I can start over, or proceed to install TWRP and CM in fastboot mode? Thanks!
Sounds like your device may be toast. You followed instructions for a completely different model of Kindles — there's a big difference between the HD 7 and HDX 7.
I'd try the commands over on this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22077057&postcount=11

Thanks for the reply, and I was afraid of that. I followed the instructions on the link you posted to no avail. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly was it that I did to cause this to happen? was it the flashing of the boot and recovery partitions?

You can't flash TWRP to an HDX without the proper preparations and only a few older devices qualify anyhow. You effectively poured sand in the crankcase.
Hi everybody.
My friend has a issue need your help.
He has a HDX 7 with unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed before accident
A few days ago, he flashed a wrong *.img file (???), and now, the TWRP's gone.
If I reboot it into bootloader, it stopped in [fastboot] screen. and 'fastboot devices ' responce well.
So, I need to know how to reflash TWRP
Thank for your help.

Tkx Davey, it works.
In another case, another my friend (I have many friend use HDX 7 ). He try to unlock bootloader & install TWRP (in this gui https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75284993&postcount=1006)
but in this step
Code:
dd of=\\?\Device\HarddiskX\Partition6 if=aboot_vuln.mbn
dd of=\\?\Device\HarddiskX\Partition18 if=twrp_cubed.img
In a stupid moment, he doesnt run the second command (dd of=\\?\Device\HarddiskX\Partition18 if=twrp_cubed.img)
(bootloader unlocked in next step)
And now his hdx 7 stuck in [fastboot] mode.
How can I can help he solve this problem?

If a vulnerable bootloader was installed (first command) then a standard TWRP image can be flashed from fastboot as previously noted.
Before unlocking the boot loader or unlocking the phone I was running android 11 with latest FEB 2021 security patch. I successfully unlocked the phone and boot loader using :
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
but when trying to temporary boot TWRP image twrp-3.4.0-0-laurel_sprout.img using :
fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-laurel_sprout.img
I get the error FAILED(unkonwn command). Making things worse I ended up ruining the boot partition so if someone can give a guide on how to solve this problem and install TWRP or other recovery or give a the suitable stock or rooted boot image for this particular build so I can revert back my changes without bricking phone due to anti rollback.

I have that too on my Xiaomi Mi A2. Sometimes it won't accept bootloader commands. What helped so far is to boot into system or recovery for a minute, or just shuting down the device for a minute and try again.

This doesnt seem to help it still displays FAILED (remote: unknown command). I really need some help to get TWRP running if thats hard or will take some time if you can point me to where I can Download latest stock or rooted boot image with FEB 2021 patch so I can install it as I all I can find online are old android 10 and 9 boot images

I don't know where to download these... Maybe you can find some here on xda?
But if booting twrp doesn't work, those images aren't helpfull... (At least on my device it won't accept any input, not even from fastboot flash boot).
Could you check if
Bash:
fastboot getvar all
works?

fastboot getvar all does work I installed some image found on XDA and it works except WIFI and phone calls are not working (worthless). anyway getvar all does return that anti=0 and current-slot=b which have installed this boot image. so any ideas what to do.
Okay, since
Code:
fastboot getvar all
works, I actually don't understand why
Code:
fastboot boot twrp
didn't work. Maybe Xiaomis bootloader is buggy.
Since WIFI and phone calls aren't working, you could actually try to install another os to check if it works. If it doesn't, you should look at logcat right after that error happend. Maybe we can find out whats wrong then.
To get the logcat, you can do this in a terminal:
Bash:
adb logcat
and to redirect the logcat into a file you can do
Code:
adb logcat > myLogcatOutput.txt
