Bricked Fire HD7 4th Gen - Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
After a lot of problems I had with my Fire HD7 as explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/help/fire-hd7-stuck-boot-loop-t3283194 , I decided to flash the 5.2 bootloader via TWRP, so as to be able to update via sideload and get back to 4.5.3 to root and update later on, I completely bricked my device, such that it won't turn on anymore, but is recognised by my PC as MTxxx-Preloader, something like that at least.
After going round some threads on the Fire HD forums, I found a solution talking about the use of the fastboot cable.
But all the threads are about 2nd Gen Fires, where as mine is a 4th gen.
EDiT : I had it all wrong when I downloaded the wrong bootloader file, i.e : 5.2 recovery_uboot instead of 5.2_recovery_only
Could someone really help me out of this messy situation, cause I'm really angry at myself for the mess up i've made...
Thx for reading...

Sorry to say this is now unrecoverable. Amazon will replace if you're still under warranty.

Warranty, I don't think so, cause I ain't even the one who bought it, and after the root and all ..

Is a warranty restored if you have unrooted, or lost root access somehow?

The warranty period starts when the device was first registered. Amazon can tell you if it is over or when it will end. Your problem now is: "My tablet won't start." No need to describe all the gory details about how it got that way.

OK thx, will try

Would a factory cable help get into fast boot with the same kinda issue? my computer shows it as the same "preloader" device after trying to go back to 4.5.3 for xposed. I followed the directions like 7 times in a row but still got a brick, in over 5 years of flashing roms, rooting ect this is 1st device I have bricked.

No, the factory cable is useless with this model

Why may I ask where you messing with the stock slot at all especially if you're not familiar with android .. Safestrap was designed specifically to keep this from happening . As of right now there is not a fix for you sorry . You probably would have known all that though if you had been reading at all in this forum or at least read how to use safestrap properly . This device is currently locked down tight safestrap was our only option there is no easy way to fix a brick there is no fastboot or repairs from a brick state that is public anyway.. There are warnings all over this forum sorry you missed them http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786190 good luck in your endeavor .
NO !!!

You really wonder why Amazon does not want an external Sd card ? The company a media company that also has cloud storage has interest in protecting copyrighted material, and that makes a business out of selling movies and music, and obviously they don't want you sideloading large amounts of your own media. Ect. Plus they've saved a few cents in manufacturing costs and get exactly what they want out of the device. You haveing use their storage and streaming... I don't know how many people that come in here thinking this is a regular tablet it is not. it is a Amazon media sales tool. And they have worked very hard to keep it that way, otherwise we would not be in these locked up predicaments.

[Q] KINDLE FIRE HDX 8.9 Soft bricked.Help!

I rooted the device,and changed the build.prop file.When I reboot the device,it shows kindle fire logo always.So I use V+&POWER into stock recovery,I reset the device.Now the computer couldn't recognized the device.I only entey the stock recovery.How I can do.Thank you,everyone.
If you don't have ADB access at this point, then there's nothing you can do.
The best you could try is contacting Amazon about it and seeing if they'll replace your device.

..I can tell you that at the moment your device is probably still fixable if you stop messing with it now. And start doing your homework. in pages past you will find other threads discussing this, there is even a root thread that discusses a certain Chinese root tool that roots via ADB anyway blah blah I have helped other people repair this situation but I am not willing to go fetch it for you. it is here and it can be done.you simply need to accomplish root on a device that will not boot ,the older Chinese root method we got desperate and used on older firmware works this way. once you have root and adb you will be able to change system file permissions,even push a different build.prop file ,as long as you have not wiped the system via safestrap with the proper research and time you will fix your device...somewhere here there is a direct link to, kindle help adb. that had correct drivers. You must uninstall previous drivers for your device on your computer and install the correct drivers to get a adb again. Good luck

[Q] Bricked Amazon HDX 7 (3rd Gen)

Hi everyone,
I bought HDX 7 just 2 months ago. I was on 4.5.2 and last week i requested amazon to downgrade my device and they allowed me to downgrade to 3.2.8. Then I rooted it using Towelroot and used Safestrap bootloader to install Nexus 2.0.3 ( For Kindle Device).After completion of Installation of Nexus ROM (ZIP file) from safestrap, device restarted and just hanged on some NEXUS logo and could not start up. But after some manual force restarts the safestrap was replaced by normal Kindle bootloader and finally NEXUS 2.0.3 was able to load. But i could not use some Google apps therefore In order to install Gapps I tried to flash TWRP 2.3.3.0 with Flashify i bricked the device. The device just hangs on KINDLE FIRE logo and dont show any response to PC and cant be able to move in Fastboot mode or bootloader mode.
Is there any thing i could do at this moment or should i ask amazon for replacement?
Thanks !!!

Yeah, HDX is a finicky device. Looks like you may have skipped a few critical prerequisites (eg: NEXUS 2.0.3 not guaranteed to run w/Safestrap; TWRP is not compatible with 3.2.8) but that's water under the bridge. Flashing stock recovery is your first step IMHO but if you can't see your device via tether then you are pretty much hosed.
Should you seek a replacement Amazon will likely provide a refurbished unit given you are outside the 30-day return window. There have been reports of refurbished units coming with older firmware that that can be exploited (bootloader unlock) which will permit TWRP, Nexus and other ROMs to be installed. You'll need to do some reading to explore your options.

Ja, its true because of more excitation and some laziness i escaped some important things to know. Anyway learned something.
I just called amazon and the conversation was like this.
Me: My device hanged on Kindle fire logo. what shall i do?
Amazon: since when ?
Me: Yesterday
Amazon: is that device rooted?
Me: No
Amazon: But I can see that it was rooted using some apps. and you asked for downgrade 2 days ago.
Me: I tried but i was not able to do so, But i had this problem when i did factory reset. ( It was a lie )
Amazon: Ok. Did you drop the device or was it in water before you had this problem.
Me: No No
Amazon: Ok then it should be defect. so send it to us. Thanks
But I am not sure whether they will replace it.
Amazon (at least in the US) will likely make some type of accommodation to keep you happy; they are good that way. Keep us posted!

Hard Bricked Nexus 5 and LG G4. Any suggestions?

I recently received both my Nexus 5 and LG G4 second hand boot-lopped and I, with prior experience, hopped to restore them. I downloaded all the images and firmware needed and tried to get the most recent versions to avoid any downgrade problems. Then everything went south. Using the lg tool, the G4 got flashed 100% but then that was it. It would not boot up and not turn on. My computer would recognize it but it would leave me a "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" message. At that point I lost hope and moved onto the nexus 5. I used wugfresh nexus root toolkit and went through the usual process of unlocking boot loader and downloading image. Well when it started to flash boot.img it restarted and that was it as well. Now both my nexus 5 and lg 4 are dead and leave me the same message when plugged in. I'm very confused as to what has happened. I've done this dozens of times before and it has never given me this. I believe they are hard bricked now and i dont know why. Is it Windows 10 anniversary update? Is there a solution? I'm desperate and lost at this point because I cant find anything online. (Not able to access recover mode on either). Please help.
Check this out, there are a couple of videos too. Also, how did you flash your nexus 5 image, did you use adb or fastboot? As for the LG phone, take a look at this thread, it might be a hardware issue that is LG's fault.

Thanks I'll look into it. As for the Nexus 5, it was done through adb. The thing I'm not understanding is why it happened. Usually my nexus devices don't get bricked like this and it weird that it happened to both of them

I recommend flashing via fastboot instead (fastboot flash boot.IMG) But you'll have to look into the link to solve the driver issue.

How to unlock Alcatel Ideal 4060A Bootloader?

Hi,
I'm brand new to this forum and my name is Jessy, and it's my pleasure to be here!
I recently bought this AT&T GoPhone (for around $29) at Walmart, and I was following this guide to allow me to use my SD Card as an internal memory storage unit for my phone, but I found out that I need to unlock the Bootloader, install TWRP, SuperSU and Link2SD apps to the SD card and my phone. Since this smart phone is similar to the Idol 3, could I use this method to unlock the Bootloader for my phone or do I have to try a different approach?
I appreciate your time and I look forward to contribute further to these forums! Thanks again!

I picked one up on Black Friday, and decided to root it. I was only able to install an older version of SuperSU though (v2.46). First I had to install the PC version of KingRoot (It's in Chinese I believe, but middle button is always "next" or "yes"), root the phone, and then replace KingRoot with SuperSU. Took me a few tries.
This is the guide I used from the forum:
SuperSU Me_6.4.apk
KingRootSetup v3.2.0.1129.exe
1. install kingrootsetup on pc(must have internet connection to work)
2. connect ur phone with ADB enabled from developers option
3. root ur phone by following on screen instructions...
4. after rooting,install supersume on phone
5.open the app,click on big blue button and wait...
done,replaced kingroot with supersu..

My Alcatel Ideal 4060A froze a few times during the removal of KingRoot, but all I did was: turn off the phone, remove the battery, and finish the procedure once the phone was on. The phone was only $10 on Black Friday, so you could say it was only an experiment on my part. Unless it's a really good phone, where you can go to the manufacture's website and download the original firmware and install it through your PC, there's not much you can do to unbrick a cheap phone that is practically unknown.

Thank you Mario for your help! I'm having a little trouble having my phone being recognized by Kingroot, although I have ADB enabled from the developers option, it seems not to pickup my phone still. I'm still trying though and I'll let you know if I get it to work properly, and perhaps document my mistake so others following this post who happen to have the same problem could know what to do.
- Jessy
*UPDATE*
Just wanted to update that I found out what was my mistake, which is a really simple and basic mistake, I apologize!
What I did was that after I had enabled ADB through my phone, it was already connected to my PC right after I had downloaded Kingroot, so my solution here was simple. I turned off my phone first, then I turned it back on while still connected with Kingroot still running then Kingroot finally read my phone and it rooted it as you outlined. Thanks again for your help, it is too valuable for me!
Here's the guide that I'm following so that I could install more apps to the phone through my 64 GB SD card if you guys were interested, to make the phone more useful, and I also installed my obama phone SIM card on it as well (from lifeline wireless, because hey why not? )
Here's the link to add more internal memory to this phone

No problem. I'm glad you got the phone rooted. I originally picked up the phone to use as an MP3 player, so I removed most of the unnecessary stock apps with "System app remover (ROOT)", but now that I see how good the phone is (at that price), I plan to use it as a backup phone. It even has a notification LED light for unopened messages LOL; anyway, good luck.
My Alcatel bricked too using this method stuck at boot logo and does nothing... Any fix?
Thanks for writing rooting method for Alcatel 4060a Ideal Pop445. Need some help

I've been an iPhone user for many years, I'm almost new to android. I have unlocked the bootloader from the hidden developers options in the settings app. I haven't found any thing useful to root my new Alcatel Ideal 4060a (Pop 445) (at&t unlocked). There are tons of bloatwares and many apps that I can't transfer to sd card. I hope you two can help me out here as I don't want to brick my device.
Question 1: Do jessy did something wrong(regarding your given steps to root) that makes her device rooted OR she has just been lucky? Because someone just posted that he/she has bricked his/her device.
Should I go ahead and try my luck with your method you there would be some advice you would like to give?
Question 2: If I would be able to root this device, would I be able to install Android 6.0 Marshmellow?
Don't root this yet

I have rooted with Kingroot 5; latest windows version on their website. Now I'm working on replacing it with Supersu or Supersu-me.
I think there always be some solution as far as you are seeing something on your phone's screen.
Just a note from another user with an Alcatel Ideal 4060a... (got for $10 from Best Buy on Black Friday)
Don't try using King-O-Root, then proceed to install Super SU from Google Play. It works that first launch, but on rebooting...
It's permanently bricked. And yes, I tried everything, including adb, recovery (doesn't have an option to flash a rom), from-pc flashing (wouldn't connect/wasn't recognized by adb or the other tools), fastboot (wouldn't launch), etc.
I don't know about the alternate Kingroot app, though. That probably works as some people have said it does for this model.
I was stupid and assumed King-O-Root would work as well, since it seems pretty generic and worked for another phone. I've learned my lesson and will now only follow guides for the specific phone model I have.
Why am I even writing this if it's a different rooting app? Cause I spent 6 hours just to end up killing one of my phones, and this is my best attempt at feeling like there was some worth to the waste. (the chance of preventing someone else the misfortunate, and just ranting)
Anyway, I'm going to bed. (So annoying because I only barely was brash enough to go ahead without a phone-specific guide--was on the fence, but landed on the unfortunate side) Argh! Argh! Argh!

Any solution for this? I want to replace King-O-Root with Super SU.
None that I know of.
I have another Android phone that I was also trying to get root on, and that one gets it temporarily using King-O-Root as well, but I'm too paranoid to try to make it permanent on that second one. Losing both my Android phones would be too painful.
If anything, I guess try the KingRoot program, from the pc, and then use the "SuperSU Me" app, as the person on the first page of this thread described. That way worked for at least one person apparently. (though the poster just after said it bricked theirs, so beware)
By the way, is your root from King-O-Root temporary (till restart) or permanent? I installed Super SU during the same launch I used King-O-Root, so I never got to see whether King-O-Root itself would have worked as a permanent (though non-ideal) solution. (I know that on my other Android phone it's temporary)
King-O-Root = Bricked Phone
KingRoot5 = Root Successful + it is possible to replace with SuperSU

I was able to pull the recovery from this phone. Can someone make TWRP for this device using the stock recovery?
Here is the actual recovery image file that I pulled:

Did you manage to unlock the bootloader? If not then you cant flash anything and building twrp would be useless.

I pulled the boot file. Could someone maybe look at that? I cannot boot to the bootloader.
I could try to flash_image twrp to the recovery and try that.
I got this phone on black friday, shortly after I got root with kingroot 5 pc and it was all great, however I got greedy and replaced kingoroot with supersu :silly:. First reboot and it goes into boot loop. Now its been sitting in a drawer. I think that purify deleted some app it looks at boot.
It looks like the simplest way to get a restore is 'IF' TCL/Alcatel does an update, someone intercepts the signed zip file, then that zip file could be distributed and used with the stock restore.
Hopeful everyone here can work a better solution... thanks for all your hard work everyone.
