kindle touch bricked, please help

[mobiljak]

hi
a friend gave me a kindle touch with a problem, it is with a big logo in the screen, a big empty battery and a usb cable with a lightning.
i tried to charge but nothing
i charged the battery outside kindle and i have it full
i tried to unbrick it with mfgtool but it can't enter in fastboot mode
i tried with live cd kubrick but when it arrivesto put the kindle in fastboot mode, i have allways "waiting for the device"
i don't know what more to do.
i have read something about a recovery cable for putting the kindle in fastboot.
i don't know if this cable is good for my kindle touch.
can anybody helps me.

Moved to the dev forum, where such questions belong.

That 'recovery cable' is for the color screen (Android) Kindles.

What did you use when you tried to charge it?
Wall charger? PC, usb port? USB-2 or USB-3?

What measure are you using to tell if it was full?

Please describe what you are doing when you try to put it into fastboot mode?

Sounds reasonable, except it sounds like your running Windows.
Which is a known source of troubles.

Also - you may be trying to use the wrong fastboot.

You can avoid both of those sources of trouble if you run Kubrick.
If the Wizard does not work for you, you can use the command line.
Just boot your PC with the LiveCd - do not try to run it in a VM.

I think the escape to the command line is F5 - but if not, the correct function key was posted here recently.
The Kubrick CD has all of the 'known good' tools included on it.

hi
thanks for your interest in helps me.
yes i'm using windows xp.
how i have written in my first post, i tried with kubrick but when it arrives to put the kindle in fastboot, it's allways waiting for device.
i'll try to use the command line (i'm not a profesional in this work) and i'll say to you if i have success.
thanks

hi
the truth is i don't know what to do.
i tried with kubrick wizard but the kindle don't go to fastboot mode.
then i tried entering command line with F5 but i have a number of options that i don't know what to do.
there is an option: modprobe=<module list> : force module to load, i'm not sure it's for loading img to kindle but in that case, where is the image to load?
any idea?
thanks

From the Kubrick command line, you have access to all of the manual tools.
Including the correct version of fastboot.

If not familar with how to manually un-brick a Kindle, try the directions from the pre-Kubrick days.

Everything I have told you could be reached by reading that thread and the threads that it links to.
