Do you have a factory cable? If not you can buy one from eBay or Amazon very cheaply.

rom [05/14] ALPHA CM10.1 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL ISSUE please help!

Guys I just rooted someones kindle fire hd and when I boot into twrp I do everything I am supposed to. When it goes to boot the word google appears with two gears that spin then it just stops does nothing. I have to restore it from backup to get back to the kindle os. I used different roms and this was the last one that I tried with no luck
[05/14] ALPHA CM10.1 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL
is there something I am doing wrong?
Did you install the stack manually or did you use FireFlash for TWRP?

FireFlash isn't at fault. I did the same thing when I installed TWRP on my Kindle. The image you're seeing is an actual Google Nexus boot animation, but why it's on an Amazon device, no idea. I do know it froze.
No, fireflash is fine, i just didnt know if you checked the tickbox to install the stack. The google animation? I'm assuming he's using the same tabletUI rom as me, it comes with that animation, if so, the reason its not booting is because the 1.5 kernel it comes with doesn't work with your Kindle, all kindles hardware is different so you need to go to the tabletui rom thread and download the updated version to flash or the 1.2Ghz kernel instead.
Hope this helps.

Katalystik can you put a link in for the tabletui rom thread? thanks!
So the guy who has the kindle fire 7 second gen gave it back to me cause he bought a fast boot cable. I went to flash a rom and now it wont flash anything it just says failed in red. Is there something wrong with twrp?
OK the tablet ui link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265465
As to the part about twrp being messed up that is doubtful, I'd guess the zip your flashing was a bad download or corrupt, that usually what comes to mind in these situations, I suggest checking the md5sum with esfile explorer before you try to flash the zip, though I am not sure what you are flashing because I don't know if u found the tablet ui before I posted it or if your flashing something else, and I think jester didn't include the md5sum for his ROM... Also if u are flashing from stock to a cm build u need to wipe system, and do a factory reset and I always clear my dalvik cache and cache before I reboot into the new os.

Did you flash the gapps zip after you flashed the CM10.1 zip? Get it at goo.im, gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip.

Go to settings, about tablet and tap the build number several times until the developer options is enabled. Then go there and put a check in the advanced reboot checkbox. Then when you hit the power off/reboot menu, a second menu comes up to let you select recovery.

Night build updates

First, would like to thank the mods/developers for all the hard work, I am loving my Kindle Fire HD because of your hard work.
Secondly, I did search the forums about this question. My guess is this has been answered but I just didn't use the right keywords to find what I am looking for.
I am currently using Cm-10.1-20130726 and it is working perfectly, however what I wanted to do is update to the latest build. In order to ensure I do not brick my kindle or make any errors, just wanted to verify the steps that I need to do to complete this.
I have downloaded hashcodes 08/12 BETA CM10.1 + 3.0.50+ KERNEL,
Do i need to dl gapps or is my current install fine, if so can you please provide a link, searching provided a lot of results.
Then, what steps exactly do I need to do to update, i do not want to lose my current apps so i prefer not to guess on on these steps. Thank you so much for your help.

Generally if you upgrading between diff versions of the same rom, there is no need erase data, however if hashcode advised to flash it and wipe data, then you should.... I don't think I answered your question for this ver, but I flashed his updates without wiping, but am now on kinology, as my parents wouldn't let me use the credit card on the play store (and I don't want to crack apps, even if I bought them at the Amazon store)

Thanks, now to figure out how to boot into twrp again. Gapps updates, are not needed?

Hold the vol up button while the Orange kindle fire logo appears, you can flash the updated gaaps if you choose....just flash the rom (do nothing else) but if this new ver has an updated kernel, wipe dalvik cache, and cache partitions before flashing.

Just reboot, any wiping would have to be done before the rom... doesn't matter, good luck man :thumbup:

Maybe what happened to you is that you had flashed a custom recovery, but then in the next reboot the stock recovery was automatically re-flashed.
Try to install custom recovery by Terminal Emulator, then reboot to recovery right after you flashed using command code. I believe you can search for this inside our Atrix HD forum sector.
If you can boot to CWM recovery, there will be a CWM icon instead of an Android bot with its belly opened as in Stock recovery.
Good luck.
Done
Ok thanks too much!! just need instal the Recovery, after that the installation of CM run and installation finished as normal!! there is a new version of CM 10.1 stable, it was what I flash it!!

Bricked my friend's HD+?

My friend just got an hd+, installed the newest nightly cm11, and that version wouldn't let his keyboard run. I downloaded the newest snapshot and installed that, now it gets stuck on the cm loading screen and will not fully boot up. Any help?

Keyboard errors usually mean you used the wrong version of gapps. I suggest you wipe /system and factory reset and flash CM11 again with the correct version of gapps.
