[Q] Questions about 2nd bootloader on KFHD7 - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all I'd like to thank everyone involved in the development of CM10 for the Kindle Fire HD 7". The hard work and dedication is much appreciated.
Also, I apologize in advance for all of the links, but I wanted to include as much information as possible as to the steps I'm taking.
I recently installed the 2nd bootloader according to the instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848). Everything installed correctly and I can get into TWRP. However, when I try to flash either ReverendKyle's CM10 Alpha (http://www.reverendkyle.com/index.php/articles/177-how-to-install-cm10-alpha-on-kindle-fire-hd-7) or my own compilation of jb2kred's work on CM10 (https://github.com/jb2kred/bowser_hd_7) I get an assert failed error similar to below.
Installing update..
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "bowser"
...
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I thought maybe upgrading to the latest TWRP would fix the issue, so I used fastboot to flash the file from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/79 to the recovery partition. This results in booting to a fastboot screen after holding down the volume up button on the Kindle.
What am I doing wrong here, as I am baffled? The only ROM or recovery I can get to work is stock 7.2.3 and TWRP 2.3.
Thanks!

Nevermind. Hashcode answered my question indirectly in the development forum. Only stock ROMs work for now.

Nexus 7 3G error while flashing Android 4.2.2

Hi guys,
I have a Nexus 7 3G tablet which was running android 4.2.1. I had flashed a custom apk to enable tethering .
Now, to enable flashing, I copied the original framework-res.apk file and replaced the modified one. Then edited the prop file to eliminate the getprop error . This enabled me to start flashing. Flashing happens all the way to the booloader then fails while flashing radio. it gives the following error
Code:
writing radio...
assert failed: batch.update_modem("/radio/SAM_6260_ALL.fls")
Error in JOP40D.zip
(Status 7)
Aborted
any suggestions would be great.

Flash stock recovery. Update via sideloading. Profit!
Just in case you are interested in the cause: Current custom recoveries for tilapia are missing the "bach.modem_update" function (not really sure if all of them).

No, you won't. I said stock RECOVERY, not stock IMAGE.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery stockrecoverysname.img
OK. So could you give me a link to download the recovery image ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Do you have the original factory image from google? The recovery.img is inside,
if not i will upload it somewhere, though it doesn't fixed the radio update error for me.
I now have a mixed version > the ota update installed without errors, the bootloader is 4.18 but
in settings it complains to still be at 4.2.1 JOP40D
Flashing the stock recovery only leads to an unusable recovery screen with no options for flash/sideload
with an red exclamation mark over the chest of the sweet robot..
any ideas?
maybe i have to reflash my nandroid and try again, the custom recovery was openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-tilapia
here are the images for those who need them

recovery.img

EDIT:
Ok finally i was able to use the stock recovery. though it seemed to be dead.
By pressing power+volup showed the recovery menu for me.
Then flashing the update via sideload worked.

Boot loop after flashing recovery

Hi there
I tried to get a recovery on my phone with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030777 app.
I pressed the first option ( so Install recovery), then it said something like "flashing succesfull" , so I tried to boot into recovery.
That didn´t work, though, I only got into the preinstalled android recovery, not TWRP.
So I tried to reboot my phone, but ended up in a boot loop...
Any ideas how to solve that?
Thanks in advance,
Metlca

Don't use TWRP. CWM is 100x better and actually works - plus you will find it far easier to get support on here.

[Q] i9305 doesn't boot anymore after failed update (TWRP)

Hey guys,
i just created this account because i'm really lost right now.
since 3 days i'm trying to flash a new version of cyanogenmod on my phone, but it always failed because of an TWRP error (error status 7).
it wasn't really a problem because i just flashed the working version(cm-11-20131222-Nightly-i9305) back on and everything was alright.
but now i accidentally deleted this version and the cyanogenmod site doesn't list it anymore.
i've been trying to install a new version on the phone with always the same error no matter which version i try.
after i looked it up here, i deleted the assert part in the updater-script. doesn't work either.
so i upgraded the TWRP to the current version via Odin because i read it could help.
and now it only saids:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip <PATH>
Error flashing zip <PATH>
and i can only boot into the download or recovery mode now.
i hope anybody can help me with that. i also could offer the recovery.log from TWRP if it would help.
Wrong forum, i9305 has a specific section where you're most likely to receive an answer. Report your own post and ask a moderator to move it.
Usual advice is to flash a full stock rom using odin then start over, check the md5 of any downloads.

Do I have to install the CM 11?
stuck after TWRP
I've run into a wall. I can get the Kindle to boot with stock OS with TWRP 1.7.0.0 installed but when I try to flash CM11 and GAPPS the kindle crashes. It will boot with the blue logo, then 1 of 2 things happen. Either in just hangs indefinately or after about 2-3 minutes the screen turns to "snow". When i reboot into TWRP, I find that all my data is gone. I flashed the system.img with the stock img and upon booting it says data corrupt and the kindle doesn't respond to adb. I then fastboot with the Skorpn cable, reflash the boot, recovery, system images, and i will go into a bootloop (stock logo, screenflash, stock logo, screen flash, and so on). So I then go through the steps of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 by flashing u-boot-prod-7.2.3, freedom-boot-7.2.3, twrp-2.7.0.0. And then i believe I reflashed the stock boot, recovery, system images again which got me back to booting up into stock os (no blue logo when booting). I have gone through this process a few times with minor tweaks like going through the steps of the above thread using freedom-boot-7.4.6, and trying the freedom-boot and twrp-2.3.3.0 that came with KFFirstAide. All to no avail, and I go throught the long and seemingly redundant steps to get back to 7.2.3 stock-ish.
More background info if it helps:
I have the kindle fire HD 7" tate. It is rooted, and currently running on 7.2.3 (downgraded from 7.5.1). The boot, recovery, and system images i'm using came from the KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0 download.
When I try to flash the TWRP-2.3.3.0 that came with KFF, I can't seem to boot into the TWRP interface.
The CM version i've been trying is cm-11-20150112-NIGHTLY-tate with gapps-kk-20140105-signed. This is the step that kills my kindle.
According to TitaniumBackupPro I have only 43.1MB free in system ROM which may be an issue. I believe the low ROM space attributed to issues I had earlier in trying to downgrade via the KFF application. The script would error when trying to flash the images saying something of a max download size and would not flash. I was able to manually flash SRT v1.3.0 images via fastboot commands.
All help would be much appreciated. If there is any other info you need, I will be sure to do my best in providing it. I like tinkering, but am the type of person who learns by screwing things up haha.
EDIT: Also another thing that I have noticed when i get to the step just before trying to install cm11. When starting the kindle up after flashing u-boot.bin, freedom-7.2.3, TWRP-2.7.0.0... When i boot, the starting fire logo starts orange, goes blue, then turns orange again. I can enter TWRP from boot with the vol down button, and stock OS runs fine. I don't know if the orange > blue > orange is common or an indicator of anything. Downloading the newer cm-11-20140606 now and I am probably going to give that a go soon. Fingers crossed.
Kindle Fire "Tate" 2nd Bootloader plus TWRP issues
Hello,
first post, so i'll shoot away instantly I'm about to proceed with 2nd bootloader install (freedom boot) and TWRP. But: The files in user Hashcode's original post seem to be gone. Anyone ideas? Which leads to my second question: I'm on system version 7.4.5. - is it ok to use the 7.4.6 freedom bootloader, or should I do something different?
Thanks, much appreciated!
I have a similar question to the post above.
I have all the files needed to install the 2nd bootloader on 7.4.6, but my kindle is on 7.2.3 (rooted). Goo.im is down so i have no access to any of Hashcodes other files, i cant find a 7.2.3 freedom image.
If i were to go ahead and install (via fireflash) the 2nd bootloader with 7.4.6 files on my 7.2.3 kindle, i assume that it will not boot, but will twrp be installed properly?? If it does, i can forego booting into stock and go straight to installing a custom rom.

in the meantime, a member in the main thread posted files, which are 7.4.6 freedom boot and twrp 2.8.something. i just took these 2 files and flashed them right away via fireflash 1.1. after that flashing the latest CM11 nightly build was a normal go, without any issues. google apps can be flashed too, all at once out from TWRP. I read here, that your original system version should be equal OR lower than the version of freedom boot. Again as always: your choice, your responsibility
Thanks, i went ahead with installing the 2nd bootloader along with twrp. Rebooted into recovery and installed cm11, all went well.

Did it work for you, as well? Glad to hear! If I'm correct, there may be issues, if the original system version on the KFHD7 is higher than the freedom boot one. Again, I also read somewhere here on the site, that somebody was successful in flashing with a lower version of the 2nd bootloader.
I've managed to successfully downgrade from OS 7.5.1 to OS 7.2.3 on a Kindle Fire HD 7" (2012 edition) prior to installing CM 11 with the following files:
kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img
kfhd7-twrp-2.8.3.0-recovery.img
kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin
fireflash11.apk
Just one side-note: TWRP 2.8.3.0 has a minor "graphical glich" on boot leading to grey area above the KindleFire logo (the blue one to be exact, the one leading to recovery) which appears for a few seconds before the device actually enters the TWRP. After that everything works correctly, but at first boot one might get "scared" by this thing.
Also please consider that after installing TWRP for the first time the loading time is significantly higher than what described on tutorials: my device took 9 minutes to first-boot into TWRP. But again, this happens only on first time.
Fine it worked out for you. BTW, I got this strange glitch at startup as well, when booting into TWRP. At first, I thought to myself "nice buddy, 1st brick". But then again, it would be intrresting to know what is causing this. Maybe the different system version to the freedom boot version?

This was exactly my first thought too! But luckly everything went well.
I suppose this may be due to the new version of TWRP or, ad you suggested, to the different freedom bot. Apart from being fastidious tough it did not compromise the functionality.
It would be nice to find the previous version of freedom bot just to verify if the problem was still present.
yeah, you're right. but since the site hosting these files is seemingly down and will be from what i can see, we might not get a hand on this so quick. nevertheless, the kfhd7 runs like an arrow with this os and i'm glad i did the switch from its original os. kudos to the developer(s) !
I've had my kfhd 7 for a few years. It is a tate device and rooted already, version shows 7.2.3. I've finally decided to install a custom rom but discovered goo.im is down and I can't get the kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin file. Based on prior device modding experience I'm assuming this is meant to downgrade higher version software to this point in order to install twrp. Is that correct? Do I not need that file since I"m already on 7.2.3?
edit: looked through Q&A and found my answer. I should probably get better at using xda...
Bump on the request for a kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.2.3.img mirror, as goo.im is still down, please!
All i need is that file!
Sorry - google translate ))
Tell me how to set the custom 2nd bootloader to kindle fire hd 7 1gen (7,5,1 firmware, Root)? I always catch a red screen and have to constantly rebuild the boot
Sequence:
I downloaded the files 7,4,6 boot, 2,8,3,0 recovery files and the file 'stack'. Then, I put them in a directory with adb.
I launch a cmd and start typing commands:
adb push stack / sdcard /
adb shell su -c "dd if = / sdcard / stack of = / dev / block / platform / omap / omap_hsmmc.1 / by-name / system bs = 6519488 seek = 1"

Update TWRP
Hello
Im trying to udate twrp from 2.6.3.1. to this version (2.7.0). Im guessing that 2.7.0. is ther version to install the cm12.1 nighty.
From another topic of the forum I have read that I could use fireflash to do that. Could you tell me where could I get the twrp files and where should I place it to use fireflash?Do I need to use a fastboot cable, adb... or just fireflash to update it? All the instructions will be well received.
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Possibly bricked my tablet... rooted it and then used the fastboot instructions in this thread to install the stack overflow, the kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img, kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img, kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img. The fastboot on the device showed that it was working and it appeared to be just fine until i rebooted it and now it won't turn on. Any advice on how to begin troubleshooting it?
Anyone looking for fireflash apk file could try:http://www.tekify.co.uk, he has a video on how to install twrp using fireflash on YouTube.This is for the kindle fire HD 2012 model
If you want to update twrp using fireflash,you have to be on the kindle stock OS ,to change the twrp version you have to tap on recovery image not flashed grey button and go to where you have your twrp IMG downloaded,tap on it, and the not flashed button should change to details about your twrp update, you must tick the button Disable recovery update before pressing the flash,install script button,I used fireflash to update twrp, but I couldn't use the swipe function, so I used fireflash to switch back to an earlier version of twrp.
Kindle Fire HD bricked to Fastboot only.
Hey I was told to post here. I am visiting a member of my family and their Kindle Fire "Broke". It seems as if its bricked to fastboot mode only, as when you power it on, the kindle fire logo shows up and then very quickly swaps to the Fastboot logo. Im not too big on kindle stuff so so far I havent gotten anywhere and am having trouble. They wouldnt have rooted, enabled ADB, or done anything beyond vanilla kindle stuff. ADB wont recognize the device on my computer and nothing works on the device to get it into recovery or anything besides fastboot. I am using the stock cable but I have also tried multiple cables and USB ports and restarting computer and kindle. Not sure how to proceed as it seems like theres no way I can communicate with the device.

Flash a ROM on a soft bricked Tab S2 T810 - Recovery mode only

Hi there,
Now, this issue may already been addressed but if so, I couldn't find it.
I have a T810 tablet and I was running the stock ROM. Last year I flashed a custom ROM and so I thought when I entered recovery mode I was using some kind of custom recovery tool. But I was using the system one.
I formatted everything before attempting to flash LineageOS 'Apply update from SD card', resulting in the following output:
Code:
-- Install /sdcard/lineageos-16.0-20190407-nightly-gts210vewifi-signed.zip --
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
Installation aborted
Now, obviously, when I try to turn the tablet on, I'm redirected to the recovery tool because there is no OS installed.
Also, I suppose this tool isn't meant for any type of zip file and I need a specific one.
Can someone point out to me where I can download the appropriate file?
I tried for the brief moment I could make ADB work flashing a ROM but it resulted in a similar issue.
Thanks for your help!
EDIT:
I tried flashing 'T810XXU2CPD9_T810XAC2CPE2_HOME.tar.md5': E:failed to map file
Everything I flash with adb result in footer or signature error.
I would really love an insight on how I can fix my tablet now that I f-'ed up everything.
I'm sorry for bumping this but I'm still trying to figure out how to unbrick my device. If you have anything for me, please tell me. I don't want to lose my tablet.
Can you enter download mode after reboot?
If you can,you can flash an official rom with Odin.
Cheers
