[Q] KFHD7" : deleted all amazon related apps from /system/apps - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was trying to be too nerdy, and I deleted all amazon/kindle related apps form /system/apps on my rooted KFHD7"
After which, the device is no longer being recognized by my PC. The device itself became too unstable and so I tried to "reset to factory defaults" ! and hence I lost all the apps that I had installed via google play (included) as well!
At the moment, the device boots up, but has no apps, except an unstable ADW launcher, contact apps and settings. It does not connect to the computer, so I am stuck now. Is there anything that can be done to get the device back to working condition? Does anyone know if fastboot will work, given that the PC doesnt recognize the KFHD7"?
Thanks

Only thing I can think of is fast boot cable, it worked when mine wouldn't even boot up.....red screen...

Thanks, I just wanted to confirm (before spending) if fastboot would work, given that the device isnt being recognized by the PC at all?

If anything use the first aide software and restore to stock everything. I had my doubts about fastboot cable but if u keep messing with kindle ur gonna find urself needing one so getting it sooner than that would be perfect.

Like the previous post said your only option is to get a factory cable and flash a backup through fastboot. If you are like me though you may want to know the reason this happened. Well the factory reset on the device only resets the cache and user data partitions of the device, because you are not suppose to have access to change anything else on the device. So anything you changed outside of userdata, ie: system/apps, will stay that way even after a "factory reset". Good luck. After you get yourself a factory cable use fastboot to reflash the system partition, if you do not have a personal backup use the tool from this link:

Thanks guys for your inputs. I went ahead and ordered the factory cable over ebay, followed the fastboot instructions and was able to get into fast boot mode. PC now recognized my KFHD7 as a ADB device under device manager, however adb was not recognizing the device. adb devices always returned a blank line. Not sure why. Tried everything I knew .. restarting device/PC, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers etc .. nothing worked, and adb would not recognize the device at all
Then, I connected the KFHD using a normal USB cable, and all of a sudden, adb recognized the device. I followed the restore procedure using SR Tool.bat over the normal USB cable, and my KFHD is back to life.
Thanks all for your help

Glad to hear you were able to get it working. Just so you know fastboot and adb are separate cmds. The device may have shown up connected as adb device but that was just because fastboot can use the same drivers on this device. The fastboot cmd for device info is:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

[Q] PLEASE HELP! Your kindle doesnt seem to be able to boot

I f*cked up by rooting it and then played around with the file permissions and now it says when I try to boot;
Kindle Fire System Recovery
Your Kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot. Resetting your device to Factory defaults may help you to fix this issue.
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
Reboot your Kindle
Reset to Factory Defaults
I tried both and it still comes up. please help me
Sounds like you may need to reflash your device. I think, although not entirely sure, you can use onemeila's KFHD System.img Recovery Tool in the Android Development section of this forum. That means you'd have to buy a factory cable though.

what is reflashing? does it have something to do with a computer? because my computer doesn't recognize the device as it used to now that it's bricked.
also, i rooted it, does rooting affect my warranty and will amazon know about it? after all it is bricked so they cant check that right?
Thanks a lot!

Amazon would probably be able to tell that you messed with the device. Reflashing is basically just reinstalling system software to the device. Yes it has to be connected to your computer and you have to be in fastboot which requires a factory cable. Once in fastboot your computer will recognize the device as long as the drivers you installed to root are still in place. The details to buy or make a factory cable are in the link below. Personally I made mine, it's pretty easy if you are handy with things. That said if not done right it has the potential to seriously screw up your device as well as your computer. So buying one for $12 might be a better choice for some.
After you get the factory cable power the device off, connect it to the device and computer, and the device should automatically boot up in fastboot. If successful you will see a screen that has a logo saying "fastboot kindle fire". Then you are ready to use the system recovery tool in the android development section mentioned in the last post. I am in the process of updating it with the 7.2.1 system software. Also only use that tool if you have a KFHD. If you have a KF2 you will need a backup .img from a KF2.

I just noticed in another thread that you have the 32gb version with 7.2.0. I don't know how different the system is from 7.2.1 or whether they can swapped. The only difference between the two is storage capacity. Theoretically I would think it could work. Actually I just read on amazon that the 32gb now runs the same 7.2.1 v. If yours isnt you just didn't get the update yet. So the process above will work. I'll be uploading the recovery tool with .img from 7.2.1 sometime today.

When you initially tried to root it, you hopefully installed some drivers in order for your device to be recognized on your computer. Those are the drivers he's talking about, which are linked in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838.

Working rooted Kindle Fire HD - USB Device not recognized

Hey,
I keep on getting the "USB Device not recognized" message on my rooted Kindle Fire HD with stock ROM 7.2.3.
Tried on several Windows 7&8 machines to no avail. The USB ports are checked and working with an external harddrive, mouse etc.
Does anyone have a clue? It actually seems to be an issue on the Kindle device itself and isn't reporting itself as an existing device?
I tried several things, like:
- Holding power button 20+ sec while the USB is connected.
- Reboot PC etc.
- ADB, verifying the drivers the 0x1949 etc.
Nothing helps. Please let me know if you know the solution!
Thanks

Well, it seems like you forgot about one very important thing: the USB!
Use only the original cable that came with the Fire. Not anything else! There is a reason why the company gives a USB cable when you buy the device, you know.
Cable isn't the problem

Unfortunately I already tried with the official cable. Same problem. Would a reset to factory defaults resolve this? And do I then keep my root access?
any luck with this?...i just got a Kindle Fire HD and am having the same problem...ADB drivers seem to be working fine, and the Kindle is rooted, but it does not show up at all in Windows Explorer, so i can't transfer anything to it
also, i've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the ADB drivers several times, but still nothing in Win Explorer...one thing i notice, even though i delete/uninstall all Kindle drivers i see in Device Manager, including "Hidden Devices", when i go to reinstall the drivers, i get a pop-up windows saying ADB drivers are already installed, and asking if i would still like to re-install the drives...how do i delete everything relating to the Kindle on my PC, so that i can do a completely fresh install of the drivers?
Nope still nothing.

didn't help...i even spent several hours doing a Win7 "Repair Install", thinking that would help...but disappointingly, after the repair, same issue....Win7 does not recognize it as a mass storage device, and doesn't show it in Win Explorer...i did install the ADB drivers, and do have ADB access, just nothing through Win Explorer :crying: .... on another computer also running Win7 x64, the Kindle shows up fine in WinExplorer
aaaaarggggghhhhh....:crying: i did a totally fresh install of Win7 x64 on a brand new hard drive...and this computer still won't recognize the Kindle as a mass storage device?!?!?....so i have to assume there is something wrong with the computer...but ADB works, and i was able to root the Kindle with this computer
Be sure ADB is enabled on the device itself if you have ever wiped the sdcard or have a custom ROM installed.

i got the same problem, in my thread i also posted many screenshots but nobody still has found a solution....
i was never able to get one of my PCs to recognize the KFHD as a USB storage device, but at least ADB works...so i've decided to just wirelessly connect (w/ AirDroid, WiFi File Transfer,etc.) to the Kindle for file/media transfers...an even better solution than using a USB cable :victory:

I don't see ADB stuff.... ADB doesn't work anymore either....
I've noticed with other devices that I've rooted that windows is VERY tempermental when it comes to adb and windows recognizing any android device. If you have everything installed correctly, I have actually found sometimes simply disconecting your kindle from your computer and rebooting both and then reconnecting helps sometimes. Like I said windows is VERY tempermental. Worked for me more than once with my phone and my kindle.

Funny thing is, I have two KFHD 7" both rooted. Windows sees one but not the other. Device manager shows Kindle Fire- Android ADB Interface on the one not showing up in Explorer and shows same plus Portable Device-Kindle Fire on working one.
Have been able to install 2nd boot loader on the working one and CM 10, but can't do anything else with the other. I have a fast boot cable and have restored it back and wiped several times to no avail.
One thing I noticed, The one that doesn't recognize in explorer only shows to have 12.9 GB space while other working one shows 27.9Gb space.
I have been successful with a KFHD 8.9, KF 7" 1st gen and KF2 and (1) KFHD 7" in rooting, 2nd boot loader and custom ROMs (along with many other Android devices), but not this one 7" HD.
This thing is driving me crazy.
Help Plz
EDIT: Okay going thru my notes I think that I have figured out what has caused this (still don't know how to fix). It seems that after the first root, wifi was on and it updated itself to 7.3.1. It is only after this, that I can't get ADB and flash boot loader or files to SD card. Using KFHD rescue tool and KFFirst aid I have flashed back to 7.2.3 with root (tried both) , but still can't get ADB. Fastboot with factory cable works fine though. With the kindle booted up on 7.2.3 rooted or 7.3.1 non root, Windows still doesn't see the device. Device manager shows ADB device but not the SD card part of the device. Is there any way to recover everything back to stock (non root) to start fresh?
Finally Fixed

Problem solved:
Here is what I did to fix the problem.
If you haven't preformed this fix for windows, do this first. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36373627
First plug in device to computer and navigate to device manager. Then go to kindle fire and expand to show Android ADB Interface. Right click on it and select "Scan for Hardware changes". Let it run. If it finds nothing don't worry. Then right click again and select update driver. Navigate to locate drivers myself. If you have KFFirstAide or other utility locate to where the ADB drivers are in that file and select ok. It will go through the process and install the drivers. After doing this you should now be able to see the device through explorer and transfer files.
I now have 2nd bootloader and CM 10.1 (Hashcode) up and running great. Hope this helps.

[Q] MTP MHL not functioning

So, finnaly solved!
After reading the whole internet (literally) about this problem happening to many HTC (but not only HTC) phones, including not chargind just when turned off, not recognized by computer (including adb, fastboot), going in car mode, I finally found the solution
Here is what I tried
Several custom and stock kernel and recovery flash, different nandroid backups, different roms including stock even clean install (weird, see later why), different cables, drivers, port cleaning.(RUU isn't possible as the phone doesn't get recognized)
The solution however was muck simpler, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and BAM! all working (at my initial arhd rom)
What I suggest (the order doesn't matter) from all the reading done before conclude it's a hardware problem is:
DO A NANDROID BACKUP!
Try different cables and drivers, even computers
Uncheck the fastboot option in power settings and reset
Clean the port with alcohool (or similar), with the phone shut down and then dry it completely
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Restore the nandroid backup several times, at some people this did the trick
Boot in safe-mode if possible (APM), this way you can check if it's a 3rd party software that can give problems as in safe mode only stock apps are available
Hope I helped
Hello,
Long story short, out of the blue my One doesn't get recognized by any computer, I tried 3 different laptops, all 3 with win7,different cables, latest HTC drivers installed, uninstalled and installed again, but no succes, even my One doesn't get the usb icons show up when I connect it to any laptop, BUT it does charge
Anyway I tried flashing another Rom,factory reset, kernel but nothing changes, adb and fastboot don't recognize my phone
Also the Icon appears when I connect the phone to an MHL adapter but no picture shows up on TV, it worked before
edit: when booted in fastboot it says fastboot AC, not fastboot usb
The get back to HTC solution is a no go as I don,t have any invoice of buying this phone and in EU is required for warranty
I'm currently on ARHD 41.0 kk 4.4 and Elementalx 10.10.1 kernel, S-off, usb debugging on, TWRP 2.6.3.4
What should I try to fix this? Thanks for any suggestions made!
I have the exact same thing, but the device is the HTC One V. It'll charge, but any attempt for it to be recognized as a usb device fail. I have figured out that the usb connector is bad.
Do you get a snug fit when you plug it in to a usb cable,or is it loose and wobbly?

I agree. It's bizzare. If it's charging fine and it's not loose, it doesn't make sense. I assume that HTC sync won't recognize it either? Have you tried relocking the bootloader and go back completely stock? Do you also get the Windows error that the "usb device has failed"?

No, htc sync does not recognize it, didn't try relocking and get stock. Have you? so I don't go that way without succes. Lastly, no windows error when connecting the phone, not even that annoyng beep sounds.

Crap. I just realized that relocking the bootloader is impossible if it can't be recognized as "usb fastboot" or "adb device".
That sucks man. It really doesn't make sense. Try uninstalling everything HTC related, reinstall drivers, and then reboot your pc.
install drivers again and see if that does anything.

I know it sucks. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything related with no succes. I'm thinking this could be solved (or tried) by terminal emulator commands on Rom toolbox, if it's not hardware related. I will backup my sdcard trough airdroid (it will take long) and try to format it

Is there anything you downloaded either to your device or to your PC lately? Does toggling USB Debugging do anything?
Like you said, backup everything, & then completely wipe it all. Like I said, my HTC One V had all the same symptoms, right down to the "Fastboot AC" message. To this day I still can't figure it out, but if I carefully wiggle the usb cable, I can get it to almost get the drivers installed, but it ultimately fails.
I did a little searching on the web & some guy had the same issues & for some reason he was told to update his Windows media player & it worked again. Long shot..I know.
Also..I know you said you tried a few different USB cables, but I would still suggest buying a brand new one and giving it a go. USB cables can be super finicky for some reason. They will charge, but when it comes to data, they won't work sometimes. Just a suggestion.

Man...this is bizarre. I wish I had some other suggestions for you. The only thing I can think of is that the data partition is now corrupted within the device. How that would happen though, I have no idea.
I found this write-up on the web. Maybe it can help you, but to be honest, I am not positive it'll help. There has to be some other more experienced veterans on this site that can help you out some more.

Well, thank you for trying to help, but it seems nothing that can be done by connecting to a computer (adb fastboot commands) is working.
I am pretty sure that the micro usb port is not damaged because this morning when I booted the One after 3 or so minutes (still connected to my win7 64b laptop) it was detected by windows, even both usb icons appeared in statusbar on phone, and pretty surprised I disconnected and reconnected it but it failed.Tried to move the usb connection in ever way possible without breaking it but nothing. You can't imagine the frustration...
I can't go back to stock as I can't flash the recovery or anything else from computer as I stated before.
As everything else is working perfectly including charging I'm afraid to try possible solutins without being able to revert them easily, so my cry for help is to someone who knows how to use terminal emulator commands and make something out of it.
Thanks again!

how to wipe dalvik cache without custom recovery
tudorlv said:
So, finnaly solved!
After reading the whole internet (literally) about this problem happening to many HTC (but not only HTC) phones, including not chargind just when turned off, not recognized by computer (including adb, fastboot), going in car mode, I finally found the solution
Here is what I tried
Several custom and stock kernel and recovery flash, different nandroid backups, different roms including stock even clean install (weird, see later why), different cables, drivers, port cleaning.(RUU isn't possible as the phone doesn't get recognized)
The solution however was muck simpler, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and BAM! all working (at my initial arhd rom)
What I suggest (the order doesn't matter) from all the reading done before conclude it's a hardware problem is:
DO A NANDROID BACKUP!
Try different cables and drivers, even computers
Uncheck the fastboot option in power settings and reset
Clean the port with alcohool (or similar), with the phone shut down and then dry it completely
Wipe cache and dalvik cache
Restore the nandroid backup several times, at some people this did the trick
Boot in safe-mode if possible (APM), this way you can check if it's a 3rd party software that can give problems as in safe mode only stock apps are available
Hope I helped
Hello,
Long story short, out of the blue my One doesn't get recognized by any computer, I tried 3 different laptops, all 3 with win7,different cables, latest HTC drivers installed, uninstalled and installed again, but no succes, even my One doesn't get the usb icons show up when I connect it to any laptop, BUT it does charge
Anyway I tried flashing another Rom,factory reset, kernel but nothing changes, adb and fastboot don't recognize my phone
Also the Icon appears when I connect the phone to an MHL adapter but no picture shows up on TV, it worked before
edit: when booted in fastboot it says fastboot AC, not fastboot usb
The get back to HTC solution is a no go as I don,t have any invoice of buying this phone and in EU is required for warranty
I'm currently on ARHD 41.0 kk 4.4 and Elementalx 10.10.1 kernel, S-off, usb debugging on, TWRP 2.6.3.4
What should I try to fix this? Thanks for any suggestions made!

[Q] Kindle Recovery Help

*My KFHD7 will not load passed the initial, "kindle fire" logo.
*While running KFFirstAide64 runme.bat, it reads, "The system cannot find the path specified" after I try the recovery.
*In Device Manager under other devices it states, "Soho-PVT-Prod-07"; My computer is communicating with the Kindle.
*I am using a factory (fastboot) cable and my tablet is in fastboot mode as of right now.
*Last updated version known: 11.2.3.2
Is there any other program or recovery option that I can use to restore my KFHD7 to it's factory conditions? How can I get the system to "find the path specified"?
Solution!
I don't know how I missed it but here it is.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Additional Problems...
When I run the program to recover, it reads, "<waiting for device>".
*I am using "KFHD_SRTv1.3.5" SR Tool which was recommended to me.
*I've tried using different USB ports.
*Waiting for the device proves to be pointless.
*I have downloaded the ADB driver but installing it shows no improvements.
What can I do?
That is for the Kindle fire HD 2012 edition. If you flash it to your Kindle you will Brick it.
You need this program.

I have downloaded the program and tried to restore my device but I ran into the same problem, "waiting for device". I've installed the device drivers as well. I checked on one of the other programs my ADB status and it is not on. I don't believe I can turn it on without getting passed the initial bootlogo.
Do I need the ADB enabled in order for a full recovery? How can I get my device to be acknowledged by this program when my computer is reading that it's there?
EDIT:
I need to restore my kindle.
While in fastboot mode, the logo has 3D orange font that says "fastboot" with a black background. There is nothing else that shows up. Before I tried to root there was green font in I think the top left corner; looked like a cmd prompt was running something (if I recall correctly)..
if you are in fast boot and stuck waiting for device you are probably having a driver problem like I had. I used fastboot on Linux instead of Windows and solved my driver issue that way.

Sorry for the late reply. I'll try out Linux OS and see what happens. I'll let ya'll know the news :fingers-crossed:
EDIT::
So my computer crashed trying to fix my kindle; hard drive malfunction of some sort. My friend put the hard drive into his computer and it erased his BIOS. We then put in an 80GB hard drive that we got for $10, re-installed windows and tried again. Hard drive crashed crashed again. Maybe when I tried to install the drivers they were installed onto my computer instead of the Kindle?
This is an on going process but I probably won't be posting again any time soon. Maybe when I actually start programming things will be a little more self explanatory.
Thanks for all your help. This is all for this thread.

[Q] Kindle F.HD 7-doesn't boot and win won't recognize device

Hi Guys,
So a few months ago I was trying to update to CM10 and when I was with TWRP i stupidly pressed wipe all instead of just flash as it was required at that time. I ended up deleting EVERYTHING or so it seams. Kindle won't even show any logos, screens, nothing, key combinations do nothing and when I connect it to any PC the PC "goes crazy" with it, the sound windows make when a USB device is connected and when you disconnet one? it constat, like it connects/disconnects/connects/disconnects/ and so on. I get a message that windows cannot recongize the device.
My guts tell me I absolutely wiped everything even twrp and now its a blank piece of hardware. is there a way to come back from this??
Appreciate any helpo I could get (and yes, regular users should not mess with stuff lie this. i know. )
Thanks, Charlie.
Do you have a fastboot cable? You will need to get into fastboot and flash a full restore.

Unfortunately I don't, and customs in my country won't let almost anything go through if I buy it online. If there is still hope to recover it I will try and have a friend buy one when abroad.
Once I get my hands on said cable what will it do and what would the next steps be?
Thanks a lot for replying @Red_81!
You can make one yourself if you're handy. Check out the SRT tool for how to do a full restore
