Thanks to Whitesnake for being the Guinea Pig while we figured out what was causing the bootloader issue.
Umm.. Whitesnake.. not whitehawk LOL
Looks like you put together a super package...
But I've got problems:
NVflash isn't working for me...
I just get an error:
Code:
C:\Adb\K1\NVFlash>nvflash -w
Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)
My device is stuck in bootloops from flashing direct to K1_A301_13_13_111209_US.zip by renaming it update.zip and putting it in the Downloads folder.
Any idea what's going on? Should I just try to return it straight away?
EDIT: I'm bulled a bone head move. I was testing out nvflash, but in a directory without the files it needs! ha! All's well...
Is this tools can applied to umts model?
Hey broo I really apreciatte your work but the links are down and I really need this because I got that Famous Bootloop.
Thanks
thanks for the mirror, but a little cuestion: the nvflash drivers are the same for all the tegra 2 devices?... cause the link of the nvflash driver is down...
thanks¡¡
I want to use this w/o the 3rd party apps but there is no userdata_blank.img file to rename. Sorry if it's a noob question.
Links dead
Please reupload.
Just get Kaschemme NVflash, his are current.

Hello,
I tried installing a custom ROM on my 7310 and it had issues. I have tried installing the original ICS from the sammyfirmware site using ODIN. Now I have a boot loop. I think I need to repartition, but when I click the repartition checkbox in ODIN I get an error.
Do I need to repartition? If so, how do I do it? If not, how do I fix this error?
Thanks.
A few questions:

What did you try to flash and how did you try doing it (CWM, ODIN, ...)?

How far into the boot sequence does it get?
Are you able to get into recovery?
If so, what recovery do you have (Stock vs CWM)?
Have you tried seeing what is causing the boot-loop using adb?

This is an action of last resort. Exhaust all other avenues first.

I used CWM to flash AOSP 4.1.2. It seemed to work fine for a day or two, but then it needed charging (as normal). I let it charge over night and in the morning it had less battery. I figured the charger or cable were flaky so I tried another set on another outlet and same thing. Then it finally ran out of battery. I let it charge again over night and when I tried to turn it on it was really slow. The boot animation was only 1 frame every couple seconds. It would eventually boot all the way up, but it was still REALLY slow. So I went into CWM and reflashed the same ROM. Then I got a boot loop of the boot animation. I couldn't get into CWM any more, so then I went into download mode and flashed the official firmware and flashed it with ODIN.

Now when I turn it on it just says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can flash again with ODIN and it will get to the Samsung boot animation and just pulse SAMSUNG.

If I hold power and volume down I can get into download mode or Samsung recovery, not CWM, and power with volume up doesn't do anything.

This worked for me with similar problem
Hi Spazlon,
Sorry I'm not allowed to post links yet as I am also very fresh. But I've underlined the addresses so you should be able to find them
I just spent the best of 2 days trying to solve a similar issue - my 8.9 P7300 kept running in boot loop. It had been running ICS stable for several weeks, then suddenly started to loop boot for no good reason. Anyway - you need two programs installed on your computer as well as USB drivers for your tablet. The two programs are Odin and SDK developer package. Odin3 v 1,87 and 1.85 are found here: filecrop.com/Odin-1.87 - try some of the links, one of them should work without having to type a password. The SDK is found here: developer.android.com/sdk You can find more about how to use the developer package on that site as well, but I installed as support for Android 2.1 through to 4.1
Also install the USB driver files for your tablet on your PC. For example from here: xpdrivers.com/usb/_1_24.cfm?gclid=CL2iDs7MCFWF7cAodxFYANQ
You also need the following recovery files which you can find by searching the developer forum for galaxy tab 8.9:
ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar
P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and finally a ROM of your choice, for example the ICS rom cm-9-20121028-NIGHTLY-p5.zip that I just used. You can find the latest official ICS ROM's here get.cm/?device=p5
Now - hold down the volume down button on one of the boot cycles. You should now get into a menu with two choices - Download and Recovery. Default is "Download" - if you press volume down you switch between the two choices. Press volume up to select the choice you want.
First you want to select the "Download" option. Then connect your tablet to your PC. The drivers should now install and your tablet should read that you are connected.
Now start Odin3. Click the PDA button and select your P73xx_Stock_Recovery.tar file. Then press Start.
Once finished the tablet will reboot, and you now need to once again get into the recovery menu. Now select the recovery option, not the download menu. You get into the stock recovery menu where you navigate with the volume buttons and select choices with the power button. Do a full factory reset and wipe the cache. WARNING - you will loose ALL your data, but it'either that or stick to a bricked tablet so.... You will also loose your root access,m which is why the next step is needed.
Now that everything is wiped clean you can use Odin again in "download mode" to install ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar with the same procedure as before. You now have root access.
Reboot again and once again into the recovery mode (not download mode). Once you get into the CWM recovery menu you are ready for the final step, which is to install your new operating system.
Go to your SDK installation folder and find the folder named "platform-tools".
First you want to copy two files into this folder (provided you want to install Cynaogen Mod 9):
Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip
and
Your ROM file of choice
Press shift and right-click in that folder and select "Open command window here". In the command prompt write
adb shell
Note - I had some problems here which was caused by lack of permissions. On your tablet in the CWM menu there should be a choice under the advanced menu for fixing permissions. Use that and you should be able to get into the terminal shell afterwards with the adb shell command
Now write the following command sequence:
• mount /data (don't worry if you get an error message - it means the folder is already mounted)
• cd /data
• mkdir media (if you get an error message saying the folder already exists, that's also OK!)
• exit
• adb push Clockwork_Recovery_6.0.0.8_GT-P7300.zip /data/media
Now you may have to wait a little while until your command prompt is back confirming that the file was uploaded.
Now on your tablet go to the menu point "install zip from sdcard" and find your CWM file that you just uploaded and run that.
Reboot once again into the "recovery mode" - we are now nearly finished.
Run the above push command again from the computer terminal window, this time to upload the ROM file you want to install. (the command is adb push [filename].zip /data/media)
Now on your CWM recovery menu once again run the zip file you just uploaded from the "install zip from sdcard" menu
When completed and you now reboot you should have a completely fresh android installation. Hope this helps.
Remember to mark this thread with solved if it works!

Good luck.
Thanks! I'll give this a try when I get home. I'll let you know how it works out.
Don't ever try to 'repartion unless you really know what you're doing. You're soft bricked. Repartion and you'll hard brick.
I'd go back and get hc from sammobile and flash that with Odin. Ics has had some problems.

Agreed - my procedure avoids manual repartitioning - I tried lots of other procedures but none worked. I think my data partition had become corrupt because I kept getting error messages. My first try was to recover with my cwm recovery file I made originally but I kept getting back to the boot loop .

I followed the steps outlined by mobjunky and was able to get an official Honeycomb ROM installed, boot the official and copy my custom ROM and CWM 6.0.0.8 on it. Then install CWM 5.4.0.4 followed by 6.0.0.8.
Now my problem is that any custom ROM I put on there just does a boot screen loop. I tried CM10 and the latest AOSP. To install the ROMs I just booted into CWM, installed the ROM from zip, then installed the gapps. I've tried with and without formatting the cache, user data, and Dalkiv, same results.
What am I doing wrong? I have loaded tons of ROMs on this before without any issues, then all of a sudden I can't get anything except official loaded.

did a format /system before installing the custom roms? This is an important step.

This fixed it. Never had to do it with any of my other devices. CM10 loaded quickly after that. Loving how fast JB is!

To "flash a rom" make sure you know where the file is. I always put it at the root if the sdcard. (Or what my kindle calls "sdcard") At the root of sdcard means not in any file or folder. DO NOT UNZIP whatever it you are trying to flash. Now, from recovery, select install zip. Or install or something similar depending on what recovery you are using. (Are you using team win recovery project aka twrp or clockwork mod aka cwm?) Next choose zip from sdcard, select the zip you want to flash, (it sounds like you don't have an operating system so I think you would flash one.) Select yes is should be flashing some logs on screen now. When done go back to your recovery home. At this point I always go to wipe, then wipe cache and dalvik cache. When done just reboot, system. If the problem persists I would think you have a problem with your os.
Good luck!

My problem is that I can't copy the ROM to the kindle right now because when I plug it I don't see it in my computer.

So you have no os installed on your fire now? And no rom downloaded on it either?
Also, do you have a "fastboot" cable?

You shouldn't need fastboot cable. In your recovery's main menu, there should be an "Advanced" button or something to that effect. After clicking it, there should be a button called "Sideload" or whatever. It let's you use the "adb sideload" command to push files to your device.

You shouldn't need fastboot cable. In your recovery's main menu, there should be an "Advanced" button or something to that effect. After clicking it, there should be a button called "Sideload" or whatever. It let's you use the "adb sideload" command to push files to your device.

Can you please direct me on how I push the files using the adb sideload?
lets say that the rom files are a.zip b.zip and c.zip
Here just follow the tutorial I just put up. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498
Note: my tutorial doesn't use side loading, it just pushes it, so don't put your kindle into sideload mode if you follow it.

You will need that fastboot cord.
Here is a system restore tool. I prefer to push the files manually but it will run as a tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
When you turn the Kindle Fire HD 7 on, push up on the volume rocker for three seconds until the screen shows the blue TWRP screen and release rocker and enter TWRP. (you said it boots into recovery?)
If this is the case, you don't need to do a full system restore. You can push a ROM the zips onto TWRP. Get them from the system restore tool.
If you have questions, feel free to ask. The tablet is recoverable unless something wrong is flashed.

Nope, it has to be a factory restore using your fastboot cord. I will list instructions.

First thing is to download the SDK package and set the environment up. Here is a great video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw This will allow you to use fastboot command which is what you will do to push the images you need onto the bootloader.
To make sure your computer issue fastboot commands, open up a comand prompt as an administrator and type "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" with no quotes and it should return Tate-xxx-xxx. If you don't get that response, do not move forward.
Once your at this point, download this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 and either use it per the instructions or extract the files and CD from inside the folder and manually flash the 3 images via fastboot issuing these commands
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot "image name here" include .img at end"
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery "recovery name here" include .img at end
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system "system image name here" include .img at end
Now give some time as the system image is quite large
when done, type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
Profit
I wanted to install Gapps to my Kindle since many of the apps including the web browser are coming up as unsupported. I have rooted my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 and installed TWRP. When I rebooted my kindle to enter the recover mode, it got stuck at logo screen.
At first, when it was logo was flashing if I plugged it in, ubuntu give an error message "unable to mount Jem PVT Prod 04". I discovered that holding the volume up button made the screen go blank but not off. You can plug the kindle in and Ubuntu will recognize the kindle and allow you to access the internal storage.
How can I fix and reboot the Kindle from Ubuntu?
I researched tons of solutions but most of them require Windows which I don't run or I tried the instruction and they don't work or our incomplete.
I received a fastboot cable from Amazon today. I'll see how it works. Any advice would be appreciated.
Okay, I fixed the problem with the Fastboot Cable. Here's the steps that I did to fix it. It was loading Twrp or the bootloader so I reinstall them. I have Android SDK on my computer and my Kindle is rooted.
Step 1.
The correct twrp was difficult to find. This forum offered a site to go to but I found the site was corrupted and the website was trying to download a virus.
I found the twrp and bootload file here.
rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-convert-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet/
I placed the files in my android/sdk/platform-tools. (kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.3.img & kfhd8-twrp-2.6.0.0-recovery.img)
I typed into terminal "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" without parenthesis. At the waiting for device command, I plugged in the Kindle with the Fastboot cable and held the Volume up button to go into fastboot mode.
I opened the android/sdk/platform-tools and right click the mouse and hit open in terminal
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.3.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-2.6.0.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
From the reboot, hit the volume up to get into twrp.
At this point, I still could go into the kindle so I thought the operating system may be corrupted.
Step 2
In twrp, I backed up the system. and rebooted into twrp.
In twrp, I hit wipe and rebooted back into twrp.
I downloaded CyanogenMod and Gapps to my platform-tools folder again.
rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-convert-kindle-fire-hd-8-9-into-pure-android-tablet
Step 3
I couldn't access the internal drive so I used ADB to put the files on my kindle.
Here's a video of the instructions I used.
youtu.be/NaK5OxUeDKM
Open the support document for Ubuntu instructions.
First, open terminal in the Platform Tools file and type ADB Devices. When I pushed the two files, his instructions say to use command sudo ./adb-linux push filename /sdcard/. This didn't work. I used "./adb push [filename /sdcard/." without the quotes and it worked.
Step 4
Enter twrp and install the CyanogenMod and Gapps. Reboot
This got my operating system up and running perfectly.
Now bad for a complete Noob.
