Hi everyone. I have a strange problem with my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. It downloaded the software upgrade, but it won't upgrade. Yesterday the device shut down and rebooted in fastboot, than it was completly died. I can't boot it. If I connect with USB cable I get: QHUSB_BULK. The kindle wasn't rooted. The display is black, there isn't Kindle Logo.
Sorry for my bad english

Press and hold power button for 20+ seconds to see if you get a response. Make sure you have a full charge (any response to the charge cable?). Could be a hardware problem but more likely a botched upgrade. If the device is still under warranty reach out to Amazon. They are pretty good about replacing faulty devices.
I'm in the same boat as the OP.
I have a botched upgrade and Safestrap seemed to got formatted.
Stuck in BULK mode using a Fastboot cable with no ADB access. I can also get to the grey logo screen that prompts for a Factory Reset or Reboot but nothing happens there either.
Am I SOL?
Well I have the same problem in my HDX 7.
I downgraded from 4.5.3 to 3.2.4 because I wanted to root the device.
The installation was successful and my kindle rebooted just fine....I started to download some apps from store....I left the device for 10 minutes closed not turned off and when I came back to open it not to turn on the screen was black and none of the buttons where responding...I tried every combination of buttons but didn't work...My pc recognize it as QHSUSB_BULK...I found the correct drivers and now I can connect it to PC but only in QHSUSB_BULK mode...
It's not rooted,
doesn't have safestrap installed
it doesn't reboot in stock recovery and
It doesn't have warranty cause is outdated
Thanks in advance

Sounds like you bricked it.
If you can get it to show up on your computer (e.g. see Device Manager), you will likely be able to just follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...-to-unbrick-kindle-fire-hdx-firmware-t3277197
anybody getting a catastrophic failure message?

Thank you for the context. Detailed response follows:
I was following this steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/root-developer-preview-lollipop-os-5-t3172408 to root and installing gapps. After i use Flashify to put the Ariel TWRP image, after this i reboot the tablet, but now its keep bootloop in the amazon screen. If i connect the kindle fire in my PC, it cant recognize the device, because the kindle keep booting over and over again in the amazon screen. Its just show me in the device manage (in the little time the pc recognize the device) with the name MT65xx or something like that, then its closes again because it keep booting. If i hold Volume Up + Power, it show me the "Fire System Recovery" with 2 options, Reboot or Reset to Factory Defaults. If i reset to factory defaults, start with the Kindle Fire screen and saying: "Deleting" then 10 seconds later reboot again, and the Bootloop keep going.

You are bricked. I am sorry this happened to you but the first line at the top of the guide states very clearly:
Mar 3 Update: This guide is out of date. It could brick you! Don't use it.

So is no anyway to fix this problem? It must be one way
EDIT: I found a method with using a Factory Cable and Fastboot for recovering the Kindle Fire. I hope this work
I am having an issue. Updated kindle fire 6 hd 4th gen to 5.0, downgraded to 4.5.3. Installed king root, rooted device, installed flashify, flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-ariel.img, rebooted. Now I am stuck rebooting . If plugged into a computer loads to the amazon logo, shuts down, loads to the logo repeat.
I have tried to fast boot by correcting drivers in device manager for the mtp whatever and constantly spamming the fast boot string.
I have used adb to see if a device ever loads and it doesn't.
Windows makes the sound that a new device is connected for about 15 seconds then will make the noise that a device has been disconnected as the fire reboots. I want to say it is a soft brick since it attempts to load and is communicating with windows to some degree. I have searched for two days and tried KFFA and an assortment of other tools. Any thoughts or assistance is greatly appreciated. It was only 60 bucks so not really worth sending it in to someone for repair. Also since it was brand new amazon is sending a replacement so this thing is now simply a toy to learn on.
When it can't get past the Amazon logo, there is no hope. OS 4.5.3 should be able to boot TWRP after OS 5.0. Where did you get the 5.0 file? Is it possible you got updated at some point?

You probably Flashified TWRP into your boot partition (instead of recovery). Since TWRP not signed, it will not boot. You can probably get into 4.5.3 recovery by pressing Pwr + Vol+ during boot, but that's not going to do you much good. Anyway, if Amazon can get you a replacement, go for it!

When I say 5.0 I am talking generic. I updated it to that version in order to downgrade the OS.

Yeah I tried that. I get reboot or erase everything and restart. Neither works.
So i've had a Kinde Fire HDX for quite some time and recently, annoyed by the Fire OS, i attempted to install TWRP to install Cyanogenmod. However, after receiving errors such as 'FAIL:Locked hw' or something of the sort, i left it and wanted to boot back into the normal OS. When i did this, it left me in a bootloop. To try and fix this i tried to hold the power button and vol up button to reach file system recovery and reset to factory settings. After i did this, it sent me back into a bootloop and was not recognised by my computer. Help please?!

Answered here (posts 284-292).
I was attempting to replace my custom rom, which was Lineage OS, with the kindle fire stock OS. I was using TWRP for this. I flashed the zip file to my kindle. I then wiped everything and rebooted. This is when I was greeted with a black screen.
I think this is where I messed up. I should have flashed two zip files, but I only did one (there's a 4.5.5.5 software update and a 3.2.5 software update. I only did the 3.2.5).
The kindle still connects to my desktop, but it shows up as an unknown device, so Windows won't let me update the driver and use adb or fastboot commands (or at least I haven't figured out a way that I can). Pressing and holding the power button or any combination of buttons doesn't display anything or disconnect the kindle from my desktop, so I dont think I can turn it off or reboot it either.
I'm not sure if I would even be able to fix this, based on what I've just said. Any help would be appreciated.

You soft bricked your device with an invalid bootloader downgrade. Recovery is possible but quite challenging. Best option is to try the 1-click bootloader unlock tool. Good luck.
