Have you tried the various market apps? Ive broken many roms on my Atrix OG playing with dpi but there i have clockwork = adb shell..
Is there a way to use adb shell on an boot looping device like safemode? Ive seen that mentioned in gen dis...

Hi All,
I hope you can help me - I promise I've searched for a solution!
I downloaded a few new boot animations to try on my CM6 install (on G1).
At first I tried simply copying a bootanimation.zip to /data/local and rebooting. So far so good - the animation worked perfectly. Then it looped, and looped, and...well you get the idea. Phone no longer actually booted!
No problem I thought, I'll get a flashable zip and flash a new animation using the recovery console (Amon_RA's). Did that, and it changed the animation OK, but still no dice on the OS loading (waited 10 mins plus to be sure).
For info, the animations were the pc-style one from Superbad Eclair and the CM6 one for the N1 (big X with the little android in the middle). Both worked fine and didn't freeze or anything, but they won't stop looping.
Tried the recovery console, but my linux exp. is limited and I didn't manage to access /data/local to delete bootanimation.zip (can cd to data but ls in data shows nothing - I guess it's coz I'm in recovery).
Getting a little worried here - can someone please suggest a solution that doesn't involve re-flashing CM6?
UPDATE: Tried flashing two more anims (R2D2 and Matrix from this forum) and no dice - Nexus 1-style animation stays. Basically, I've made no progress and I'm more confused.
UPDATE 2: Ah well I got too impatient and re-flashed CM6. Jeez there are a lot of settings to change. Anyhoo, will leave thread here for a bit in the hope that someone tells me what the issue was, so I can change my boot animation in future w/o fear.
The problem I think ur having was u copied it to the local file ur suppsed to install it straight onto the sd then open emulator and enter
Su
Cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /data/local/
Reboot

I had the same issue. All I did was
I used abd push bootanimation.zip data/local/ "to install"
adb shell
#rm /data/local/bootanimation.zip
You can actually still do it even though the boot animation is running.

Hello,
I have been trying to install whatsapp on my kindle fire hd and followed a guide that said to use the allwinner mod apk.
I did install the allwinner mod, selected samsuns s9000 and tried to install whatsapp
It failed, so i rebooted the kindle.
Now I am stuck at bootloop.
I see the kindlefire boot going but the system never boots.
I tried with kindle first aide to re-flash the original firmware, but failed since it seems unable to connect.
I tried to connect from command line but I cant get the fastboot command to go, tried with the original cable and with another one that I have got and that has always worked.
Im now out of ideas.
Since the kindle is rooted I dont think i can send to amazon, any idea?
Thanks
You need to get a fastboot cable to get your kindle into fastboot mode in order to flash it. They are pretty cheap.

Hello and thanks
I noticed that it responds to adb with a normal cable,
since i know that the allwinner mod changes the build.prop I was wondering if there is a way to restore the original one via abd.
Is there someone that has a build.prop to send me (kindle fire hd 7)
In the meanwhile I put on order the fastboot cable...
Thanks
A lot of build.prop can be found at persano's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116243
But make sure to pick the right one.
Unfortunately I don't know If you can resp. how to put it in the right place to make it work.

Hello
many thanks I managed to get it out of the bootloop.
the procedure is:
download the build.prop and save to the computer /home (i use linux) then open a terminal and connect the usb cable to kindle
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
exit
exit
adb push ./build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
su
cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/build.prop.old
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
exit
exit
adb reboot
and that's it.
How was adb working during a boot loop? That's bizarre.

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

Hi. I have a rooted kindle fire 7" .3rd gen.
I bought this kindle off craigslist used. it cant be registered though because i found out it was reported lost/stolen from amazon when i called about my registration issue. So i just rooted it and change alot around with new launchers and all. I am having an issue now though. after messing with pimp my rom on the stock rom and not knowing what i was doing, it crashed and i had to do a factory reset. luckily the bootloader came too and allowed me to do so. i have removed too much from it honestly. but it still works great. i uninstalled something that i shouldnt of and when i go to the settings menu, i can not enable unknown sources installation. before it has been enabled. but now after crash if i click on applications in the settings it just exits to the main screen of launcher. I have been able to work around that by using adb install (packagename.apk) and that worked fine. but for some reason overnight and not messing with anything it must of caught itself since unknown sources wasnt enabled. because now i can not install anything at all to it. if i use adb install (packagename.apk) it says it already exist installation failed from linux terminal. i used adb install -r (packagename.apk) and this had SUCCESS. however the games and apps do not show up in the app drawer of ANY launcher out of 4 or so.
i am really needing help on gettings things to show up when force installed with adb install -r into the app drawer, if this is the way i have to install stuff now.
also if possible i need to know if i can work with terminal to somehow enable unknown sources on the kindle fire itself. that would fix it all.
thanks for your time. any help appreciated
Hello all.
I just installed Nova Launcher on my Fire HD 8 and have been trying to add widgets to the home screen. But everytime I do, it just goes to the firs settings window and nothing on the home screen. I found a tutorial on having to do something with the appwidget file, adding .sh to the end of it then putting it in /sdcard. I did all that but can't figure out what to do after. It's saying to run adb shell in terminal which I tried but keep getting "adb: not found" (using Terminal Emulator app) . I'm completely lost and hope someone can guide me.
Thank you all!
