I´m not a noop - but the kindle fire hd surprised with a bootloop when changing the permissions of /system/framework/framework-res.apk only. Although backed up, I´m not able to replace the file again, as the KFHD is caught in a 2min-bootloop.
The KFHD was rooted and is still recognized under windows when plugged in. I tried it all to get access to the system folder via adb and fastboot (the device manager shows an android composite ADB interface correctly), but all my attempts were unsuccessfull - the device is still prompted in CMD as "not found" although all settings from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894136 were made.
It´s just a single file! It must be possible to undo the permission change! I can´t believe I bought a new stylish "cutting board" for $ 199 from Amazon...
Any ideas?
Go into fastboot
Type chmod 0644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Fastboot is possible with a factory cable only, right?

I'm still waiting for my cable to come the loooong way from China...
Meanwhile I found a way to copy the official update file "update-kindle-7.2.1_D025_2030320.bin" to the the updates folder.
Is there a possiblility to initiate the installation of the update manually via adb (means NOT in fastboot mode)?
This should replace the affected file from first post as well and help without wasting my time doing nothing than waiting for the cable...

Hello there,
Right now I'm stuck with an HTC one with its complete system wiped out i.e format cache/system/sdcard/media etc via CWM recovery throught the option in mounts and storage (I did that by mistake on CWM, forgetting about how the phone does not have an external sd card which I'm used to...) I don't think its USB debugging option was enabled either because I had fresh unlocked the bootloader so the phone was reset to factory settings, so I don't know if adb sideload is an option. (I don't know how this works either, at least not entirely... only what I learnt over the past 4-5 hours through the web) I feel like i have the adb path set up right, all I need to do is be able to access the device through my computer so I can somehow transfer the ROM zip onto the sdcard so I can install it. Can I just flash the ROM zip through fastboot? I already read around that prolly not but someone mentioned that I can flash the factory stock update... Where can I get that. Help pls! 2 months salary down the drain... replacement is not an option here... there is no customer service where I come from..

If u still have cwm recovery u can plug ur phone to pc via USB and select mount USB storage and drop the Rom zip onto internal sd and flash it through recovery.. if not u can download a cwm recovery that u can flash thru adb via command prompt on pc then u can do what I sed earlier

Thank you for the quick response! This is the message I get after typing "adb devices" in the command prompt from the platform tools folder
adb server is out of date. killing...

I'd already tried this before but this time I extracted the sdk in C:\ just to see if it made any difference... I even used the command "adb remount" it still says "error device not found". Could this be because of the USB debugging option from the developers menu in settings? I can't make that change right now because i can't boot into the phone! What can i do to correct this?

This is what i get in the cmd script
My laptop that i connect to the phone is on a 64 bit operating system does it matter if the sdk i downloaded is for 32 bit?

I use the same fastboot folder I used to unlock the bootloader for all adb stuff it contains a working copy of adb
and makes sure the path is easy and correct. (no spaces)
2. I see he mentions using a laptop ..be sure your using a usb 2 port .. not the blue usb 3.0 ports their know to cause issues with adb.

Hello, This is my first ever post on this site. I'm a beginner so take it easy,"if you can"
i have searched all the post i could find both google and xda. i seem to be stuck in twrp mode every time it boots it goes directly to the
twrp menu. i found i have no os installed and no files at all even the twrp.zip file which i had it saved on the /sdcard/downloads. im not to familiar with fastboot but i think i can get it into it by using the factory cable but i can see it on my comp as kindle but missing drivers. i tried installing drivers but to no avail. what can i do... please help if you can and ask for more info if you need it. Thank you
You shouldn't nessasrily need fastboot to fix this, I'm assuming the drivers you don't have installed for twrp is the adb device, so try updating Ur drivers with this version of the drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44446906
Once the adb driver work you should be able to go I to twrp, hit advanced, then hit side load, and swipe to start side load, and with it plugged I to your PC put either a cm ROM or the stock rooted amazon ROM from android development into the same folder as your adb command, and run a line with this syntax in a command prompt: adb sideload myrom.zip
If that doesn't work you might be able to use adb push when not in side load mode but I haven't tinkered to much with twrp. If you must resort to using fastboot you shouldn't even need a factory cable in this case, as u can just go into twrp and hit reboot and tap bootloader, that should put you in fastboot. Hope this helps.

Ok guys thanks a lot to stunts513 i have got it fixed. i will explain it to all the noobs out there what i did.
Like stunts513 said download the drivers from the link he provided, ok once you download it you will see a whole bunch of files but no exe files
like i said i was a noob and i was stuck on how to install the drivers, what you do, is you go to the device manager and click update drivers on the unknown or kindle with the yellow sign (assuming you have one) the click "let me pick from a list....." next if you see "have a disk" click that if you dont see it, hit next you will see it then. now point it toward the "usb drivers file" you just downloaded there should be a .inf file there click it and say open (next-next-next) your done on that part then follow his instructions
when you reach the part of the adb command this is what i did, i moved the file to where my adb was right next to adb.exe. i named it com10.zip to make it short and easy to type. you then start the adb by typing cd (wherever you placed your adb setup, mine was in C:\Users\MN\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130717\sdk\platform-tools) then type adb devices to see if your kindle is under there it should, mine at the time said something like "12312if8923823f recovery" before you type adb sideload make sure you are in the twrp menu and your in the sideload option. you then type adb sideload yourfilename.zip ....... "yourfilename meaning the file you wanted to transfer which should be in the adb tool section" it will start to transfer, when it was finished go and flash it your done.
One other thing that i had a problem with was, i couldn't get the kindle to connect to my computer, what you do is while it is connected uninstall the driver first in the devicemanager, then go to program files and the amazon folder keep going until you get to a folder with a uninstall .exe click it and uninstall it, then disconnect and then install the kindle drivers the reconnect there you go.
I hope i helped anyone had a similar problem cause i was up since 3 am in the morning working on this lol " i had hard bricked a kindle before, i was determined not to let it happen again"

Thanks, this helped.
Another noob here, first post. Firstly, thanks very much, this was also a great help to me. Just wanted to say i had a little trouble with the sideload command. Kept returning the error * cannot read 'com10.zip' *. Despite being in the same directory as the adb, to fix you must give the directory in the command like so:
adb sideload C:\pathToAdb\com10.zip
Just in case anyone is having the same issue. Cheers again
Hey everyone,
first off, I have my Kindle for a few weeks now and it's my first Androit device. I started reading into rooting and adb commands only a few days ago, so please excuse me if I'm not writing accurately with some terms. Additionally, I could not find a similar problem via searching.
Here's my problem (I'll try to be as detailed as possible):
I rooted my KFSOWI running 11.3.1.0 yesterday using Moronigs rooting method. It went well and I had full root access (typing su in an adb shell resulted in an # and all that).
Today I wanted to edit the framework-res.apk to exchange some images. Stupid as I tend to be I wanted to rename the original file and then paste my modified one. The device started giving out various crashes, telling me that lots of apps stopped working. Only then I realised that the file is needed to run the system. Unfortunately the Kindle had shut down at some point and when I boot it now it only gives me a black screen (although the backlight is still on).
Here's what I tried so far:
1. I wanted to adb push the modified file to the system/framework folder, but it tells me that the folder is read-only.
2. So I wanted to change permissions but it seems I don't have root access anymore (I don't even get the # output in the adb-shell after typing su).
3. I tried installing the package via adb but it says "Error: COuld not access package manager. Is the system running?"
I guess it doesn't boot up the package manager and root access. You guys have any idea what I can do right now? Seems like a lost cause to me. And if so, can I try sending it back via warranty?
Any help is very much appreciated. And thanks for all the great work on these forums.
Does nobody have an idea? Would be very sad if I couldn't use it anymore. Although I'm the only one to blame. Does someone have experience on sending it back to amazon for warranty? As far as I know rooted devices lose their warranty.. :-/

At this point, I would send it back to Amazon. all they will check for is physical damage and send it back to China. I hear some people bricking their tablet several times and getting a replacement. Thing is that Amazon's warranty questions are only water damage and did you drop it questions. So you don't even have to BS them to get a replacement.
If you have a fast boot cable you might restore it. Now it's not the cable that came with Kindle, it's a special programming cable that will put it into fast boot mode.

There are no exploits for this boot loader yet. Don't think a fastboot cord will do much at the time.

Did noone come up with a solution, because i did the same thing, with the framework-res.apk
i can make a fastboot cable if itll do any good without an unlocked bootloader. could i possibly push the most recent update.bin from amazon and restore the device to stock???
---------- Post added at 04:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------
i wouldnt take bricked for an answer and i found a fix
what i did was make sure the kindle was connected to adb and typed the following
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device shell su
the shell managed to snag the SU file and displayed # before the device looped thru all of the boot apps over and over, but then CMD froze.
so i tried this
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device shell su mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap.hsmmc.1/by-name/system /system
and in one line got root access and remounted the system as RW
my problem was that framework-res APK was replaced with ZIP so all i had to do was rename it
# cp /system/framework/framework-res.zip /system/framework/framework-res.apk
and success!!
# exit
$ exit
adb reboot
and she booted right up!!!!
First response so please be kind. My KFSOWI is stuck in the bootloop too. I have a factory cable and can get into fastboot but don't have any factory images to restore. Anyone have any ideas?
Do you get any adb access? I don't think casebook will be any help until someone unlocks the bootloader

Hello all.
Was tinkering around with my KF- And accidentally wiped everything from my internal storage and system. When it boots up I get the blue KF logo and it stays stuck there- Can't boot into recovery.
ADB doesnt recognize it.
Have a fastboot cable.
How do I atleast push files to it /boot into recovery??
Many thanks.
To boot into recovery, after you power on the kindle, immediately let go of power and instead hold volume down usually only until you see the blue kindle logo. You can hold it longer if it makes ya feel better, it should then show the twrp logo and from there you can use adb to push the ROM of your choosing onto the device, here's a tutorial for that assuming you get into recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498
I think I know how to get it into recovery from fastboot as well but if that doesn't work you'd just have to reflash Amazon's os with kindle fire first aid.

I tried all of this- Yes, I got it into recovery, It was recognized once by ADB and when I attempted to push the files from a flash drive it stopped working. Did the flash drive effect it or? It's also not showing up in device manager at all anymore after updating the drivers to ADB.

You cannot use a flash drive with the Kindle Fire HD as it's unsupported. You have to push it via command prompts on your computer. Follow the tutorial posted. try adb sidelad rather than adb push as the command.

I don't believe I made myself clear. I attempted to push a file from a flash drive connected from my computer and after it was attempted ADB couldn't find my device. Unless I am misunderstanding you, this is what I did. I have attempted cmd prompts and none are moving to my avail.

Ah gotcha, I was thinking you were trying to use OTG with a flashdrive. So, I wonder if the problem was that you were trying to flash from a flashdrive or maybe you are missing the adb.exe file. The folder you put the ADB drivers in should have a file marked adb.exe as well. This is what will execute the pushing of the files. Make sure you point the drivers after it is in the folder you will CD from. If you don't have this then download the sdk package and in one of the tool folders you will have adb.exe. Just throw your drivers and ROM in that folder and that will be the folder you CD from.
So try this:
a. Make sure the ROM, ADB drivers and adb.exe are in the same folder.
b. Now go into device driver and manually (choose from your files) update the adb drivers and install them.
c. Once the adb is again recognised go into the folder with all the files and find a white area and hold shift and right click on the mouse and choose open a command window here.
d. Now enter the commands adb sideload name-of-rom-or-file-here-make-sure-to-add (.zip) - at - the-end /sdcard/
e. Give a minute for the process to show in the command window. You should start seeing some percentages as the file is pushed.

I attempted your method shown here and I get stuck at ADB drivers. There is no Kindle Fire device in my device manager and no bubble shows up when my kindle is attached to my pc. Could the cord be the issue? (I'm also running Windows XP, if that makes a difference.)
Also, I have drivers installed, but I'm unsure they're the correct ones. Where can I find them?

You won't have a pop up when your tablet is plug in at this point. In your device manage do you see a yellow triangle? There should be some android device in your device manager of some sort the pops up when plugged in. To test abd being recognized type adb devices in the command window and you should see your device show in the command window within 30 seconds.

After another day of messing with it, yes, finally, it's recognized in ADB. I can push anything but the .zip files for Gapps and Roms. When I try to, it just gives me a list of all the commands you can use with ADB. I've tried ADB sideload and push. Neither work.

Check the md5sum for corruption. Make sure to have those zips in the same folder you're CDing from.

Okay, so now no file is pushing/sideloading to my Kindle. I have them in the same folder I'm CDing from and it's still just running through what commands ADB can do. I'm unsure why it's doing this? It pushed once and now it won't anymore (similar to how it detected my kindle before then didnt).

Yes, my Kindle is still recognized.
i dont os on my kindle fire hd 7
I am having a mare with my kindle fire hd 7
It all starrted when anything google related kept crashing.
I tried to find solutions to the problem but no joy.
I then tried to install a different update to cyanogenmod nightly software but i then had a major problem with not being able to turn on my wifi.
I went into Twrp and tried to restore to my previous software but when my kindle re-booted i got stuck with a flashing teamwin logo
After trawling for days i managed to get out of that but im now in a situation where i dont have any OS on my kindle.
I have followed instructions on how to push files onto my kindle but despiote finding some files on my sdcard i am unable to reboot past the blue and white Kindlefire logo.
I have tried using the kindle un-brick java option but no joy either
I would really appreciate some help solving this proble as it is really driving me crazy.
I can still access twrp and i can access bootloader to get the orange and white fastboot logo.
If someone can help guide me through how i can get my kindle working again id really appreciate it
cheers

I believe I habe the kfsowi model. it is 11.3.1.0 it is rooted and I am wanting to factory reset it but I dont have a factory cable. just a normal usb cable that I've been using adb to transfer and even instlal some files because through tweaking it, it lead to a missing status bar in which i change the qmenu = to 0 and 1 or whatever in build.prop but no matter what it doesnt keep the status bar active at all times like it should be. it is non existent until i click on an app in apex, adw or any launcher ive tried then it flashes and disappears. during this flash it is not usable no matter how fast i click it.
also a small issue it has is ever reboot, it says kindle is upgrading but it is not upgrading at all because i have tried to click check now in settings to check for updates but every time it says update failed. next after that message it says starting applications for about 20 seconds. long bootup. i have probably messed with tweak i shouldnt have with pimp my rom and also android tweaker 2 and pro before it became 2. so the status bar is non existent. sucks cause cant even get facebook notifications lol.
i did factory reset it by the menu and also by using andromizer app to click recovery mode and do it that way.
(without status bar i been using all in one gestures but now recently i switched to using LMT.
this kindle has a few issues since i made it kinda as minimal as i could and probably uninstalled a couple things i shouldnt of lol like it only installs apps with adb install and adb install -r sometimes as well as through 1mobile market which is awesome. it will not sideload anything now because through uninstalling an extra deal or two i should of, it wont allow me to enable unknown sources installation through menus. if anyone knows a way to do this through terminal of linux that would be great
thanks to any help
or would there be any way to use the water beta without the cable and only using adb or any other steps. which to my understanding is the only rom so far. thanks
If you are rooted You should I think be able to run these commands from a terminal in Linux, if you meant a terminal on your kindle then take off the and shell in the commands I list to run.
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader
I think if you are rooted it will kick it into fastboot and you can restore without a cable.

thanks for the quick reply. yeah i am speaking of terminal from debian/ubuntu. I enter those commands you give me and it is recognizing the device. With adb I can even push files to install since it is screwed up and I can't access the menu part for installing from unknown sources. that is the worst part of the few issues I have with it.
after I enter those commands it only reboots normally. it doesn't go into the bootloader. I can get it to go into recovery mode where I am able to just do a normal wipe of the device but that is about it.
just to make sure I understand this. with a fastboot cable and all it is a different method from just a normal "wipe and reset" isn't it? it is using an untouched .img or something to put back to actual FACTORY as if bought from store? cause the normal wipe and factory reset doesn't put back the items I uninstalled of course from system and what not.
also is this safe to do without a factory cable. I just haven't ever needed one before and even if there is an extra step or two I don't mind instead of waiting a week for a cable.
Actually you might not even need the fastboot cable, if I remember correctly the restore method for that device would normally flash a system image that is smaller and incomplete because the system IMG is to big for fastboots 's buffer, then when it was just bootable enough to have adb push a file, it would push a amazon update file and run a command that forces the system partition to update back to stock from the update zip. So you should be able to simply push the update file for your amazon os version or older/newer and force update it. I don't have instructions handy right now for doing this and its late so maybe I post them tomorrow.

if you could do that that'd be awesome. thanks. I just read up about a locked bootloader but I've seen it's made some progress. I just need to be sure to not turn it into a drink coaster lol.
I finally found a way to do factory reset thanks to gran pc
How to reinstall FireOS
Botched your /system partition beyond recognition? Everything is broken? Dropped your #Kindle in a sea of piss and need to RMA it? Fear not! You can just reinstall FireOS and get it looking just as if we had never touched it!
First of all, you'll have to root your tablet. I'm assuming you know how to do this!
Once that's done, put this file -- https://s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin -- in /sdcard/ (you can use adb push).
Then run these commands:
jesunoiMac:multidownload granpc$ adb shell
[email protected]:/$ su -
[email protected]:/# cp /sdcard/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin /cache/update.zip
[email protected]:/# echo --update_package=/cache/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command
[email protected]:/# exit
[email protected]:/$ exit
jesunoiMac:multidownload granpc$ adb reboot recovery
If everything went well, you should see the 'installing update' screen -- and once you're booted, we're back to stock! We did it!!!!!!
s3.amazonaws.com/kindle-fire-updates/update-kindle-11.3.1.0_user_310084920.bin
funny thing is I rerooted after the clean update and forgot all about OTA's being automatic of course. The damn thing upgraded to 11.3.2.2 which I searched has NO root exploit right now. I am wondering if I can do the same above steps to go back to 11.3.1 but that is a downgrade and I am worried about a brick although amazon new update is like an iphone you can't tell any difference haha
also is the above way how you install ICE or hellfire?

ah good you found it before i could look it up. It will downgrade just fine, but you will probably need a fastboot cable to do it. If ICE or hellfire are roms then no, the 2013 isn't flashable with the exception of kindlewater. Since the bootloader is locked we are limited to using amazon's bootimg(kernel+intram fs).

ok sounds like I need to find out if putting water on this without a fastboot cable is possible then
