THIS IS NOT A CUSTOM RECOVERY!!!
KINDLE FIRE HD 8.9 ONLY!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
This is an update to the KFHD_SRTool, now for use with the Kindle Fire HD 8.9
This is ONLY for use with 8.9" models, not for use with 7" unless you replace system.img with your own backup.
A factory cable is not needed to enable fastboot on this model. Even if the device is in a loop and ADB can not recognize it. I have personally put my device in a loop to confirm it works. To enable fastboot use option 1 from the tool
Instructions:
1. Download and unzip the tool of your choice from the link below (I have confirmed you can downgrade from 8.1.4 to 8.1.3)
2. Run SR Tool
That's it, wait for the tool to finish. Be patient this can take a few minutes. To exit fastboot use option 6 or hold down the power button for 10-20 seconds. When you reboot the first time it may seem to loop once but this is normal and will boot up. Once again be patient, especially if you chose to erase cache and userdata. The system needs to rebuild those partitions. Hope this helps some of you in the community. Again sorry for the size of the download, this is why I made this a separate tool instead of combining it with the HD7 version.
Downloads:
KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4
KFHD_SRTv2.0- 8.1.3
KFHD_SRTv1.3- 8.1.2
UPDATES:
12-24-12
System v8.1.4
12-12-12:
System backup from v8.1.3 KFHD_SRTool_v2.0
Option menu has changed
New options: Install of GoogleServicesFramework.apk, enable fastboot with device powered on or off.
Option 4 removed due to new option of enable fastboot
DOWNGRADE:
I no longer own this device so I cannot make backups of newer system versions, for the time being here are instructions for downgrading to 8.1.4:
1.) Download boot and recovery imgs(these are backups from 8.1.4) from this LINK and place in the folder where you have access to fastboot or inside the KFHD_SRTool_v2.1 folder
2.) Use KFHD_SRTool_v2.1 to flash system.img.
3.) Erase userdata and cache
4.) Open a cmd prompt from the folder where you placed the previously downloaded .img's.
Use these cmds:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
5- Reboot.
Thanks to mdblaze for bringing to my attention that a factory cable is not needed with this device
Again Thanks to kinfauns for the how to on backing up and restoring system software.
Thank you for adding the 8.9 to your tool onemeila. I appreciate the work you've done.
I can confirm this does work to fix an hd stuck on the kindle fire logo. Thanks again.
I can't download it :/

Yeah sorry I made those backups before the update. Download from the play store, go into your file manager and move it from /data/app/ folder to /system/app/ folder then reboot.
Did you have to re-root.

That worked, thanks. I did have to re-root. Maybe make it so it installs the OTA Rootkeeper as well?

OTA Rootkeeper does not work. There are a couple system apps that can be altered to stop updates, I can't think of them but they are in another thread. Now that you have your device working I would recommend making a backup of your own of all the partitions. If you mess something else up outside the system partition this restore tool won't fix it. Very easy to do check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930656
Firstly, good work. Play store wouldn't open for me, so I ended up needing to manually copy all files from gapps onto the device. It seems that you might be missing the gapps framework permission files. It's painfully slow however, and apps are constantly closing. I full wiped using fastboot.

Yeah the google framework was installed as user app on those backups. I don't like installing things as system apks if its not necessary, just more chances of problems. I'm in the process of adding an option to install that separately, via adb. At first I was just trying to keep everything as close to out of the box as possible so people would just have a clean slate, but its nice to have the options of add-ons in one shot if they are wanted.
I was in a hurry when I made the mods to this version for the 8.9 and just haven't had the time to look back over it. So I apologize if something is off. Please let me know if you or anyone catches something. Was it slow after the the restore?
Is this one version 8.1.2 or 8.1.3?
Need a rootable.

The backup was done right out of the box after root, so it would be as close to factory as possible. It should be 8.1.2, but 8.1.3 is rootable also. I lost root after the update and was still able to root.
Bricked over a dpi change!

About an hour ago I ran a tool to change dpi on my Kindle 8.9 and was greeted with the unpleasant notice that my 8.9 could not boot. System goes to the screen that asks if I want to do a factory restore. That of course fails. Downloading your recovery prog, will try it in the morning, anything need to do other than follow your bouncing ball?

Started to use KFHD_SRT v 1.3 When I woke up this morning, had to look for GSFa before starting, then spotted your answer to me, still on my laptop! Sooo I went with KFHD_SRT v2.0 instead. Didn't even finish my first cup of coffee and you had me back up. Needless to say, I think I will stay away from the dpi tool that caused this to begin with. One question, (not sure if I ever used option 5). is it included in Option 3??
I think I owe you something, will take care of it before the weekend.

No it is not. I prefer not to install apps as system apps unless it is necessary. There is no sense in potentially causing more problems. Also the more you install as system, the more you will lose and have to redo if you get an update.
I bricked this device playing with permissions to get app store installed. This tool really saved me.
I used option 4 then 3 and all is well.
Installed Google resources manually as the tool lost the device. Every thing except Gmail that I have in the screenshot works.
Thanks a bunch

Thats good you got it to work but if you were just trying to root this was not the tool to use. This tool is used to unbrick your device. It will give you root access but at the moment it is for v8.1.3. So as soon as you have wifi connected it is going to upgrade again to 8.1.4 and you will lose root.
Confirmed- downgrading from 8.1.4 to 8.1.3 is possible with this tool without having to flash other partitions.

Did you move it to your SD card it goes to your internal first not external which is where it has to be also did you rename to update.zip?

I apologize if this is something obvious, but when I try and run this through rsdlite (5.7 and 5.9) on my retail M running the JB leak, it immediately fails and says "Failed flashing process. Unknown fastboot command. (getvar)".

Got it, didn't know it wasn't downloaded to my external memory. Its all good now, thanks!
Got it to work by removing the getvar line in the xml (per mattlgroff, no way I would've tried that myself) - works perfectly from the JB leak, thanks again for this!
Just to be clear, is the the stock ROM that came with the RAZR M? That way people could try out the JB leak, and then use this to revert back. Since there isn't a way to install CWM and do a backup.

Correct, on the current leak anyway. Obviously if you have to do this your data will be wiped as well.

That's the only way mine would work - rsdlite wouldn't go past that.
Use RSD Lite 6.1.4
When using RSD Light, does the phone have to be in normal "power on" mode, or in a special "download" mode for RSD to install the files?

AP Fastboot - from powered off, hold down volume-up AND volume-down, then while holding those, press and hold the power button until you see a menu pop-up that's simply white text on a black background. Once that comes up, use volume-down to move down to AP Fastboot, and volume-up to select it. Then plug it into your computer, fire up rsdlite (6.1.4! ), open the file linked in the OP, and go!

help im stuck
ok so i messed with the build.prop and cant get the original one in through adb, i tried flashingjust system img thru fastboot but the file is too big just error after error with cmd prompt...
so i downloaded stock firmware per phonearena link, and i have rsdlite 6.1.4 installed as well as all the latest drivers, it fails on step 1 "gpt_main0.bin" so i removed that line from xml and tried again, it got further but failed at fsg.mbn
i dont know what to do, i figure if all i need is a good build.prop i should have rsd flash just the system.img but that doesnt work either...
i don't know what to do? any suggestions, or ideas?

PLEASE post what you did to fix this issue as it may creep up again for someone else. These posts I run into every so often on google asking a problem and then all I see is "fixed it" no solutions posted. =) thanks!
I deleted the bad build.prop from the system, and The recovery-from-boot.p file or something similar in name, they're the only 2 files in /system that aren't folders, after I rebooted into AP Fast boot and through cmd.exe on win7 and typed in "fastboot -w"
Then "fastboot reboot"
Back too fastboot mode, start RSDLite 6.1.4 w/admin privileges, extracted firmware manually, edited XML too remove any line wit "var" or "OEM" in them, as well as the line with "gpt-main0.bin" I pointed RSD too the XML and it flashed flawlessly
Now I'm back on JB Leak and rooted

Yes you must have a factory cable to enable fastboot(unless you still have the ability to download and open an app with root access). Check out this link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20380015&postcount=9. They say they ship international and pricing is extremely cheap with what looks to be good quality. Personally I made mine, It is pretty simple if you have a spare micro usb cable, a 1k resistor, and a soldering iron. Just google factory cable kindle fire. Be very careful it might be simple but there is the potential to ruin your device and fry the usb board on your computer(at the minimum) if not done correctly. I do not say this lightly be absolutely sure of everything you are doing before attempting.
Works like a dream
Thanks for the image! I used it revive my dead kindle and it works!
Only thing right now is that my Date and time settings seems to have greyed out. I will need to figure this out as the date and time is wrong.
Also, i didn't use a factory cable - I had an issue with a blank screen appearing after the words Kindle Fire upon start up. So I got into fastboot by using the ADB: Fastboot reboot-bootloader

No you wouldn't need a factory cable but if the device is still working then the best thing would be to figure what mods you made to the system and reverse them before flashing an image in fastboot. If you cant figure that out and need to flash the system.img, the post above said they were able to get into fastboot through cmd window(though I think because the device was frozen, I was not able to do this with my working device, then again i could be doing something wrong). I know that if you use the app- Rom Toolbox Lite and under the rebooter section there is an option to reboot bootloader, that will boot into fastboot. Then you can use a regular cable.

Glad it helped. With the date and time mine are grayed out as well(think its like that from factory, don't remember noticing since date and time were changed during initial setup), you just need to select the right time zone and it automatically changes to proper time.
Also are you still able to get into fastboot via cmd prompt now that your device is working properly? If so what commands did you use?

I went to settings > device > about and clicked update.
A brief screen showed up with "Installing OTA update", then it disappeared. The Update button became grey. When I went to the file manager I saw the update was deleted and a file called ".nomedia" was created. I need to update the software to 7.4.8. PLEASE HELP!
Purpose: I want to root, then install fire flash (requires 7.4.8), install TWRP, then install CM11 Unofficial.
Thanks!
EDIT: I saw this on the amazon website.
Update appears to start, but doesn't update the device
Issue: After selecting the Update Your Kindle button, the software update doesn't appear to work.
Cause: The update file may have been renamed, or you have duplicate files on your computer.
Solution: Delete the update file(s) on your computer and Kindle Fire, and then repeat the software update process. Verify that the firewall on your computer isn't blocking downloads from the Internet.
I have no idea what that means..

Delete the update files from the computer. Pretty straightforward. And btw im 99% sure you don't need 7.4.8 to use FireFlash. Just use Seokhuns guide to install it, keep the rom you want to flash on the KFHD's Sd card before hand, then install the rom, after using fireflash to get twrp plus second bootloader.

Thanks, but fire flash DOES NOT work. I open it, it asks for root permissions, I grant it. Then a box pops up saying "fire flash has stopped." And I tried the mentioned tutorial but fire flash doesn't work. Fire flash crashes on startup.. allowed superuser permissions and reinstalled many times but I get a box that says "fire flash has stopped." I tried factory resetting, unroot + reroot, but no avail. I really want fire flash but it crashes on startup!

Try this instead of fire flash it does practically the same thing. Keep the rom you want to flash on the sd card before hand.

Thanks, and again I have some questions..
Does this run on 7.2.4 without screwing things up? The thread mentioned downgrading to 7.2.3 bootloader.. this leaves me utterly confused.
How do I configure the Android SDK for fastboot? I have no idea how to work with that..
What if the device kicks into fastboot but I can't exit fastboot because the drivers aren't working? Then what do I do?
With flasher is it necessary to use fastboot in the process? Will the program kick the device into fastboot?
Is there any risk of the kindle not booting?
Thanks a lot!
BTW may I ask you a favor? If you wouldn't mind can you mind walking me through the process through some chat service, teamviewer, etc. It's fine if you can't too, just asking..
Thanks again

EDIT: If you have 7.2.4 you probably won't need to install the 7.2.3 bootloader due to the bootloader only actually changing when the 7.3.x updates came out. Proceed reading
EDIT: If you REALLY need help with this pm me and we can skype.
I'll write a step by step walk through for you. First I will answer your questions.
The program will downgrade by itself.
I am 99.9 percent sure this will work on 7.2.4, because i did it on 7.4.8.
If you install SDK properly Fastboot drivers will work. Drivers will work if SDK is installed properly.
You will need fastboot, and the program will do it by itself as long as drivers are installed properly.
As for risks... There is always a risk. Follow these guidelines when doing this stuff:
Follow Steps Closely
Don't rush it
Don't take risks
Last thing to keep in mind is to keep the rom you want on the device beforehand.
Lets get started.
Step 1: Install the Android SDK if you already haven't. (To check if you have open Command Prompt and type in adb--you should see a list of commands. If you don't see it, google "Install android sdk".)
Step 2: It will automatically install the 7.2.3 bootloader to prevent red screens, so open the flasher tool and backup(optional).
Step 3: Press Step 3. First it will install the 7.2.3 bootloader if you don't already have it. Then it will install the stack override. Then it will disable amazon updates.
PAY ATTENTION NOW FOR THE HARD PART
Step 4: Disconnect your KF. Then turn it off. Press enter, and then plug in your powered off Kindle.
Then it should be done!

Thanks a lot! I'll get started today.. though I am kinda confused.
I'm using this tutorial, and is it safe to use Step 13 to 20? Are those necessary? (Tutorial: http://www.theandroidroot.com/how-to-set-up-adb-and-fastboot-with-android-sdk-on-windows/ ) And OTA updater crashes, fire flash won't install too. Does this mean my system is corrupted and anything may happen? (Before I factory reset my KFHD7 was tweaked a LOT and remains may be left) Thanks! BTW my Skype id is androidnewbie123 .
EDIT: Nothing turns up when I type adb in cmd - I have installed the SDK too.
EDIT 2: ADB works, just had to run cmd from adb directory
EDIT 3: What happens if adb doesn't work for some reason in the middle of the tutorial?
Sorry for the immensely large number of questions, just too scared to start without full knowledge of what I'm doing...
And I wanna get started soon..

adb wont stop working, adb doesnt work on regular cmd because u didnt set paths.
go to computer, right click and click propteries go to advanced system setting. then go to environ variables, then go to System Varuabels then scroll down to "Path". once u are tehre, click edit and at the end of the line, seperated by semicolon from other pahts, type in where adb is found. for me its " C:\SDK\Platform tools\" stop when u are at the folder its at.

No problem man. Just trying to help out people like you (and me)
And about your question:it should. Although the Flasher was made for software OS 7.4.6,it should work on any OS version. But it also might give you a bootloop. So be sure to keep a ROM zip and GApps on the sdcard so that you can just install the ROM in recovery.

Well,you do need the ADB drivers installed. If ADB cannot recognize your Kindle because of driver issues,then my tool can't do anything at all. Other than that,you don't need to do anything.

Now I can finally start after months of waiting xD
I just hope I don't get my Kindle Fire bricked..
Thanks again for this tool which simplifies the steps!
EDIT: Can't get into fastboot using the tool no matter what
I installed stack override and I got a message somewhere saying "failed no such directory found" ending with some "installation.sh" or something. I can't verify the device either. I only have a normal USB cable. When I plug that in my KFHD just turns on and doesn't go into fastboot. Please help! I only managed to backup the system and stuff. Only the stack override is installed now (I think)
Help! Ty
EDIT #2: Stuck on <waiting for device> and my device just boots normally... when connected to PC and powered off at that step.
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 to install adb and fastboot drivers plus google phone drivers. I also have the SDK..

Yeah sorry, whilst going through the process of updating it downloads and then restarts, but as it starts to install an android with a red triangle warning above appears and I then have to restart the watch to get back to the normal software version, and the update is unsuccessful.

If I'm not mistaken, that android you're seeing is the recovery. Did you also have stock recovery while updating? It's critical to have everything back to stock when using OTA method. If so, then maybe you just have to wait since the recovery is the one that processes the update for OTA.

Ok thanks I will try that
I'm screwed?
I rooted my LG G watch R like months ago and decided to return to stock . So I ran the "windows_returntostock.bat" file that came with it and it mentioned that it's been restore back to the stock firmware but my watch is showing the fastboot menu..
I click on the O icon thinking it will boot normally back to the watch but it keep returning to the fastboot menu... so i choose to boot to recovery and do a factory reset and it still brings me to the fastboot menu after every boot.
I read the readme file and it says i need to lock my bootloader after the restore.. but how do i enter ADB again since I factory reset it? (I guess i screw this part , should not have done this?)
Instructions from the readme
WINDOWS USERS
1. unlock the bootloader (see above)
2. reboot (to make sure no extra apps are running)
3. ensure windows drivers are installed
4. ensure usb debugging is enabled on watch
5. connect watch to computer via usb
6. run windows_installer.bat
------------------------
How To Lock Bootloader
1. Enable ADB Debugging (see above)
2. Open a command prompt where you extracted the zip file
3. Run "adb reboot-bootloader" (you may need to allow connections in the prompt on your phone)
4. Once the watch reboots to the bootloader, run "fastboot oem lock"
5. Choose yes and it will lock the bootloader as well as factory reset the watch, so go re-sync with your phone
I don't own this device but it says:
4. Once the watch reboots to the bootloader, run "fastboot oem lock"

So did you try to lock bootleader when watch has booted to bootloader?
That's the thing. My watch just can't boot to bootloader. It always enter the fastboot menu everytime I on or choose any options. The only other thing I can enter is recovery
---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------
I've lost adb debugging as well due to me factory reset it.
I can't enter bootloader/system. It always brings me to fastboot menu, I can't go anywhere else other than recovery mode.
Also my bootloader is also locked.

I think you're asking in the wrong thread since I wasn't the source for this "windows_returntostock.bat". You could use the files in this thread though to return to stock through fastboot. Since you're already in fastboot when you turn on your watch, just issue:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img **
*boot, system and recovery image files need to be in the path or just issue where it is
**you could skip recovery but you might have non-stock recovery so better flash it as well
After this you should be able to boot back to system.
Hi but my bootloader is already locked and I can't enter system to turn on adb debugging for any process.
Is there a way to edit some files in recovery mode to manually turn on adb debugging?

You don't need to be in adb to unlock. To unlock you need to be in fastboot which is exactly where you are. Just issue:
fastboot oem unlock
and follow the instructions. Of course, after you unlock you'll still be stuck in fastboot but then you could follow my previous reply.
Hi there, thanks for the help. I will give it a try and update you all.

Hi! Thanks for the files + guide. I ran into some trouble though and could need some help.
I sideloaded the 5.1 OTA update (coming from 5.0.1.. I think. Pretty sure) and got stuck in an infinite 'animating dots' screen. I've waited for like 15 minutes. Still all I saw were dots, moving about.
Anyway. I found this thread and thought I'd just flash 5.1 files. In order was boot.img, rec.img, system.img. I now get the LG logo and then an android on its back. Soo... try flashing 5.0.1 again? Or..? Help?

The files are only for restoring to stock from your current version not for upgrading since the upgrades rely on various new bootloader interface checks. Go back to 5.0.1 and upgrade through OTA or sideload.
Hi there,
Thanks for the quick reply. Down-Flashing to 5.0.1 did the trick, after thatI got a nor al boot and the ota's were waiting for me

Im have same problem, help me pls:crying:
hello, I'm kinda desperate on installing recoveries on my phone
I'm following this guide over here
USB debugging mode is turned on, but it is not detected on the shell/command window
when I checked my device manager, my device driver is not found, I tried installing flash tool drivers, but I dunno where to search for these drivers, so I followed the way in this thread
and I found 4 drivers in the list:
- Android ADB interface
- Sony ADB interface
- Sony Composite ADB interface
- Sony Fastboot Interface
tried all the ADB interface but still give same result so I uninstalled the driver back to the way it was
Please help me as I'm really newbie at this and I wanna try Stryflex ROM, thanks
Note:
1. I already unlocked my bootloader, but someone in here said to unlock bootloader first so I assume that it will end the same way as LB
2. The error I received from the command window is "device not found"
3. Phone version C3502
4. currently still using stock ROM with 12.1.A.1.207 firmware, rooted with towelroot
5. I unlock the bootloader using the step on sony site
Bump, pls help anyone?

I strongly advise for you to START with another way and also use TWRP as a default recovery. CWM (and inherently PhilZ) are very old unsupported recoveries.
If you insist, you might want to install DoomLord's driver pack and try again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2635830

Nope, this is my only device
Like i said, i cant install recoveries like what the tutorial above said because it's not detected
Hence i cannot proceed to other thing because of the fear of me failing to install cusrom
If i can install recoveries, i can backup (CMIIW) and it's at least reassuring me to do other things, this is my first time doing this so knowing nothing makes me confused and a bit terrified of I fail

the fastboot tools stated is the same fastboot tool used for unlocking the bootloader, am I right?
also do I need to put the img file on the same folder as the fastboot tools?

yes, and yes.
You can also point to the absolute path of the img file, but that would be complicated so copying would be easier. (welcome to the world of consoles (not the game consoles (command prompt)))

Can you explain everything, as if you're telling a story, in a chronological order? Remember, explain verbosely!
I need to sleep right now, hopefully i would able to reply to you in the next morning when i got enough information
Also, in the "hide" section of your previous post, there is nothing from inside..

firstly I do install TWRP according to your guide over there using fastboot tools
the one with this command
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
then it shows message like this
http://www.iforce.co.nz/View.aspx?i=ivkcgknl.fyl.png
I then restart my device normally and it boots into recovery mode, in which then I make backup by selecting all the option to my external card, and proceed to reboot after it's done
it returns me to TWRP once again, and I reboot using "reboot system", it shows sony logo and then black screen for a few minutes, and I got sent back to TWRP once more, I've tried "reboot bootloader" menu too and the same result, I've repeat this for a lot of times and still same result pops out
sorry to bother you this late night and have a nice sleep

Oh i thought you were ready for flashing Stryflex!
Anyway the reason why it booted to the TWRP repeatedly is because of the reason that you flashed a recovery into the boot partition. Please re-read carefully the page that I linked you to
Anyway to boot back to your stock ROM, get yourself a "boot" stock component from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62447987&postcount=3
Flash it in the TWRP
sorry for the trouble.
