Atomic Market 3ft Fastboot Factory Cable for Motorola Unbrick Droid Xoom Fire

Why do you need this cable?:If you've lost the ability to access recovery +Can't make it past the Fast Boot screen +Unable to charge device and thus, unable to program in Fast Boot because of "low battery"Had a bricked Motorola that could see the AP Fast Boot Menu, but the battery was never charged enough to reprogram. Using this cable, it was able to circumvent the low-battery status and allowed me to reflash and restore the device.As stated in the specifications, it's NOT used for charging, only for ignoring the low battery status so you can reprogram the phone when you can't make it past the initial boot screen. I'm not sure if all Android devices fail to charge unless you make it past a certain boot-up stage, but this is a good workaround.Device is now fully functional again.

Excellent Cable. Its pretty pricey for such ah short simple cable should be $5 but i had to spend the $10 as my tablet was stuck on a Rooted TEAMWIN screen. I did NOT think this was going to work at first but i had no other choices. plugged it in today and the fastboot screen poped up instantly. wasnt sure what to do next so after some reasearch i found an unbrick tool called The Ultimate Unbrick Tool. Worked perfectly and was Extremely easy to use. BAM the amazon logo loaded up and i was back to being able to use my device once again. $10 is steep but it beated having to buy another tablet for 10 Times more $. Life Savor

Used this to unbrick and reflash a Kindle Fire 2nd gen after trying and failing to make my own. Trust me, this cable is the way to go! Works like a charm - just plug it in to your device and computer and turn the device on, and tada, you're in fastboot mode. No messing around trying to find a compatible cable and then trying to solder it yourself. Save your time and effort (and you could even sell it on later to make your money back!)

product is not a fastboot cable. I managed to unbrick my kindle fire hd 8.9 and restore to factory settings myself using a different cable and technique. After Kindle was unbricked I tested again , kindle completely shutdown plug the fastboot cable 1st to computer then to kindle fire hd. it is suppose to wake it up directly into fastboot mode. It just booted kindle regularly. For others trying to recover a bricked kindle fire HD 8.9. try the below trick 1st.open a Dos box probably administrator mode. before connecting USB cable to kindle typefastboot -i 0x1949 getvar productyou'll get "<waiting for device>"then connect the shutdown Kindle fire HD 8.9 to the USB cable, the fastboot software quicklydetects the kindle device and starts the fastboot before the kindle gets the chance to go on tothe Kindle screen and hang. from here you can run the fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recover.img

Worked great on my Kindle 7 HD to boot into fastboot so I could fix my bad flash.

This is not a fastboot cable. Bought it to unbrick my Kindle, did not boot in fastboot mode. However, it works as a regular USB Cable, so it gets 2 stars for not being completely useless.

Doesn't boot a Kindle into fastboot, as advertised. But works very well for connecting to android device bridge, which is something the stock cable can't do. ADB drivers load nicely when connected to a Kindle, also a feature missing in the stock usb cable for Kindle. Charges the Kindle, too. This is the one Amazon needs to include with the Kindle Fire.

This product saved an Amazon Kindle Fire HD when Amazon themselves would not support the device or offer a replacement after one of their updates left the device in an unbootable state.My daughter has a tendency to fill her kindle with videos and junk. This causes a known issue where if the File System gets too full it can actually corrupt, crash, and become unbootable, especially if an update is pushed and not enough space for a proper install remains.Amazon has not fixed this issue (HTC used to have a simialr issue on one of their phones but they did fix it).So the Kindle was stuck on the screen that says it failed to boot and gave the 2 options of try again or reset to factory defaults. Neither worked.Amazon, when called acknowledged the issue but said since the Kindle was out of warranty even though the issue was known there was nothing they could do beyond offer a lousy 10% off on a new Kindle device.Hop over to XDA, look up issue, find solution, requires cable, and download of a fresh ROM image.Use fastboot cable to boot device, use Amazon's own stock image file to restore device.Reboot device, fixed and just like new.Sign into account, restore apps, done.Thanks for nothing Amazon. At least users at XDA and this cable helped.
