Okay, so now we have 3 Atrix HD's in the house and except for the unremoveable battery thing, and the short "battery life" when actively using it, I'd say we pretty much love them. However, I decided to remove some apps, etc. and managed to get my messages, camera and gallery to the "not working" and basically non-existent point. Now on startup I'm getting the Android is Updating message with the never-ending swirl of Starting Apps... I'm positive I've waited long enough as I set it down and went back to bed just to wake up and still see it.
Info - phone IS rooted
running the "jellybean" update
Unfortuanately a couple weeks ago, I UNCHECKED the sync photots for both facebook and gmail, so there are pictures I really don't want to lose.....
I'm definitely not a "pro" like lots of them up here, but am capable of following directions. I'm pretty sure I have to "unroot" my phone via USB/SD card through my laptop....Any help would be greatly appreciated... and the more specific the directions the better!! :cyclops: LOL... Thanks so much.

Sounds like you deleted a critical OS file. You need to flash back to stock again. Is your boot loader locked or unlocked?
Don't remeber...

I've been trying and I've fallowed everything to the T but everytime it says it falls.
I'm not sure...I have used it before and was able to restore...are you sure it's not a hardware issue?

Okay, here's where we're at.... it is no longer frozen on that screen and goes thru the setup w/ my gmail, etc.... but then I have a black screen (except for the top row icons...). I can pull down the settings menu and see everything there, but I have no "homescreen"....It's black. It seems like we're in the right direction and I know it's not dead. Anything??
Also wanted to thank you for the help. This place is ALWAYS amazing....
Hey, my son and I are wondering since it's already running 4.1.1 and we can't downgrade, what about flashing a custom rom? Will that flash a totally complete, full home page and everything?? Just a thought.
While trying to search for answers I came across a "xoom forums??" post with a tablet that was doing exactly the same thing....multiple people had that problem, but doesn't seem to have been answered...... not sure if I'm suppose to post links to that or not, but at least I know I'm not alone.....
If you're rooted, than I'm assuming ADB debugging is on. You should be able to unlock your boot loader and load CWM recovery. From there you can wipe cache and dalvik cache. If that doesn't help, you can reflash a stock ROM zip from Skeevys thread. Flashing a zip won't touch your SD card
There is official 4.1.1 available...you can try flashing that...you dont need to downgrade.
Okay, my son installed safetystrap (whatever that is...lol) and when you click Operating system, it says "there is no operating system installed are you sure you want to reboot????
Is this fixable?
Note: We have two other identical Atrix HD's in the house if that helps for any reason.....
Well that's what we are trying to figure out is how to install OS...Lol..
Try install system using fastboot... Look for skeevedudes guide...its in this forum somewhere...
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
LOL....okay, so do yoiu see why my son says I'm not "ALLOWED" to have a rooted phone if this happens again..... Guess I was just glad to SEE it written out, so that it's a little more def what's going on - but I'm sure everyone up here (except me) already knew that!!!
He's not around today, so my phone is just "sitting" saying "creating rom slot" but never gets off that screen. The good thing is that we can see it's actually charging and we weren't sure before....... Does this sound like something that will eventually be repairable??
You have a soft brick...yes it is fixable...
Okay, thought I had already posted this before but I guess I never hit the submit ....
Before safety strap was installed, we could get the phone (minus the homescreen and os) to come on....the settings, wifi etc.....No we can't seem to get to that point with the safetystrap on. It just goes completely blank and won't let safestrap connect to the computer via usb.
Apparently there is also no way to remove SS without an opperating system. This doesn't sound promising.....ugggg..... I so want my phone back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK dude. Follow my instructions.
Hold down power and both volume buttons all at once until the phone screen turns black, then continue holding the volume buttons. You will get a menu. Go to AP fastboot mode using the volume down button, select it with the volume up button. Plug your phone into your computer with a data cable. Download RSD lite and the MOTOROLA drivers from the MOTOROLA website. Install both. Download the 4.1.1 sbf file for your phone, there is a thread for it here in the AHD forum. Its a zip file, extract it to your desktop. Open RSD lite, click the browse for file button, select the XML file inside the folder you just unzipped. Hit flash. If you get any errors, let me know I'll send you a different XML file with the getvar lines removed.
Okay, will get it started..... Thanks so much. My son has been working on this for hours and hours. You have no idea how much I appreciate this place and everyone who helps out!! You guys rock! Will let you know what we get.

Hardly. I was thinking ADB drivers since the commands returned with denied permission.
Try a factory reset then try again, make sure allow installation from unknown sources is ticked,when you get the prompt on your kindle to restore during the process enter your amazon password then hit restore.

I DID IT!!!!!!! This is a big deal for me and this is how I(ole Grany) here Rooted a Kindle Fire HD 7.4.1.
I Changed PC's from Win 7 to Windows XP
I did a clean install of the ADB Drivers for Kindle(Made sure it showed up in Device Manager (No SDK install)
I restored Kindle to Factory, Set the Accept things like adb and developer thing in the kindle
I installed the Bin4ry v26(tried v30 would not work)
I extracted the Bina4ry to desktop to folder called "rooting"
then went to prompt and / cd desktop/rooting/runme
First go I thought I screwed up Kindle all apps gone and it was in slow mo..
Did a factory reset
Started over...BAM! I almost peed my pants...
Then followed instructs for installing Play...BAM..done
Now all I need is a new rom which I have no idea which is best so give me some ideas and I will learn how to install that
Oh I used es explorer(the new one) ad task manager.
I swear the Kindle seems faster..

Just because you're too scared to trust the guide doesn't mean you have to spread that fear to other people with the desire to accomplish what the guide designates as the goal. The guide works.

Kindle Fire HD "ROOTED!!!!!!

Try Hashcode's ROM when you get to that part his ROM are high quality and nearly have no bugs. Im running it on my kindle check my sig.
Hello, I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" running the downgraded 7.2.3 from KFFA. Then I used Hash's TWRP 2.6.3.1 + 2nd Bootloader thread to get Stock with TWRP but for whatever reason I can't seem to install a ROM that will boot past the "Blue" Logo.
My screen doesn't do the "White haze" that others have mentioned.
Still boots into recovery allowing for wipes + installs.
I have reverted back to 100% stock then made my way back to stock + TWRP three times now, and have looked rather extensively through any threads even somewhat relative to my own problem.
I've been using the Factory fastboot cable to get into fastboot if that makes any difference.
I have downloaded the GAPPs and ROM twice, and I have a very stable connection that hasn't given me issues before.
ROM is the same as from Hash's thread for TWRP + 2nd Bootloader. (cm-10.2-20131115-UNOFFICIAL-tate)
Have tried my cable from my Note 2, Captivate, Epic 4G Touch, and stock KFHD 7" cable as well as the factory fastboot cable.
Kinda stuck, have gone round like this for about 4 hours + now and I must say, the KFHD 7" has been the biggest pain out of any of my Androids by far xD Great tab though.
Any help would be much appreciated. I could always just run stock, but, I'd really like to have CM 4.3 or 4.4 based on my device.
Thanks!
If I left out anything, please, let me know and I will respond ASAP.

You have no OS and that's why it won't boot past TWRP. Go into TWRP and adb sideload a ROM onto TWRP and flash it and boot into system. You should probably read a bit before just posting. The link answered your question.

You need to check the zip and make sure it did not get corrupted during the download. Goo.img is updating their servers and downloads can be corrupted. Try downloading from the crackflasher mirror. Make sure it is the ROM for your year and model Kindle Fire HD. You also need to update your TWRP to 2.6.3.1 right away, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848 Before you flash, factory "swipe" then flash ROM then wipe Dalvik/CACHE then boot into OS. Just drag and drop ROM onto internal SD card before booting into TWRP.

Oh boy lol, let me just correct everywhere you went wrong, cause I've tried to be nice, but I can't let you get away with not even reading the OP.
"You never said you could access an OS." ---> "I could always just run stock"
"You simply said you could not get past TWRP" ---> "Then I used Hash's TWRP 2.6.3.1 + 2nd Bootloader thread to get Stock with TWRP but for whatever reason I can't seem to install a ROM that will boot past the "Blue" Logo." (PS: Being stuck at the "Blue logo" is much different then not being able to boot and being booted into TWRP.)
"You need to check the zip and make sure it did not get corrupted during the download." ---> "I have downloaded the GAPPs and ROM twice, and I have a very stable connection that hasn't given me issues before."
"Goo.img is updating their servers and downloads can be corrupted. Try downloading from the crackflasher mirror." ---> That was where I downloaded from the second+ time I downloaded the ROM.
"Make sure it is the ROM for your year and model Kindle Fire HD." ---> "ROM is the same as from Hash's thread for TWRP + 2nd Bootloader. (cm-10.2-20131115-UNOFFICIAL-tate)"
"You also need to update your TWRP to 2.6.3.1 right away," ---> "Then I used Hash's TWRP 2.6.3.1 + 2nd Bootloader thread to get Stock with TWRP"
So, I just copied and pasted all that from you post, and my OP.
So, let me quote you again from another post you made in my thread.
"You should probably read a bit before just posting." READ THE OP BEFORE TRYING TO HELP MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA!!! x'D

Well, now you're just flat out being an ass. I've been rooting my phone ever since my G1, definitely not a noob, and I wouldn't have asked for help if I didn't need it and if I hadn't already searched a ton.
I've been here longer then you, just an FYI. Also, your grammar is horrid.
I really wish trolls like you weren't allowed on XDA but man, can't control you guys.
PS: Don't get mad and call me a noob just cause you can't read x'D
EDIT: Linear has been added to my ignore list so if he does reply I don't have an urge to argue with him some more.
Biggest problem here Linear is that you really, really need to learn how to read an OP before posting help.

I give back to the community by offering free Android and iPhone modding in my area, and free support via text and email.
Plus I make sure to tell them to check out the Dev's thread or website and to consider donating to the people who make the magic happen.
The only service I make people pay for is electronic repairs which is a flat rate of $20 + customer buys the parts.
So I think I give back to the community at least a little seeing as I have at the least 20+ people a month asking for help cause some idiot installed a unstable ROM on their phone and 4G vanished or other problems.
By the way, since we are laying our d*cks on the table, might I add that boasting about how many "Likes" you have or "Thanks" isn't something to be proud of, you earned them yes, but don't shove that in other peoples faces, that's just childish.
Thanks again for trying to help.
OK before this turns into a flame war, lemme ask something. Did you factory reset and wipe the system partition before flashing the cm ROM?

You can get into twrp

Odd
We have another person that can't get a restore to take. I've always wondered if it was a formatting issue for him...
But if you were to hand me this kindle I would restore from the restore tool not kffa then I would follow hash codes install 2nd boot loader + twrp thread .
If you've tried that I'm at a loss

Hellfire flashed over just fine, CM 10.1 (I think) Flashed it, booted KindleFire (Orange) then (Blue) then Boot logo Booted pretty fast too.

You have a 2012 kfhd
You can get into twrp
Nothing will flash
Odd
We have another person that can't get a restore to take. I've always wondered if it was a formatting issue for him...
But if you were to hand me this kindle I would restore from the restore tool not kffa then I would follow hash codes install 2nd boot loader + twrp thread .
If you've tried that I'm at a loss
Forgive me I read the entire thread but I got lost somewhere in post 3

Yes, 2012 KFHD 7" (Tate)
Yes, TWRP works fine.
No, I got Hellfire to flash, but so far nothing else will flash 0.o :/
Also, I did all my restores from KFFA, BUT, I did do a original backup via ADB and did a restore via Fastboot thinking it might have been KFFA but no go still.
And yes, the thread kinda goes to poop cause I was already kinda upset cause this has been the most frastrating Android to work with, and then the pressure got compounded just cause I decided to ask for help :/
If any of this info helps, please let me know, I believe Hellfire is CM 10.1 . . . I believe, that's off the top of my head though.
Thanks!
To be honest I've only installed kinology... Wife won't let me get rid of the kindle os. I didn't really needed kinology but I wanted to update and did not want to reset it up again. He basically ran a neater version of what I was doing.
Is there an error when you flash the ROM and what ROM are you flashing

I have gained root acess and now I've been trying to install 2nd bootload and TWRP following this tutorial;- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1bLCuQN0-U
It says
" If you have a different version then 7.4.6 then look here for the freedom image you will need http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/ "
But there seems to be no image for the 7.4.8 version. Should I just use the 7.4.6 version?
I also checked out the Installing Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd-Bootloader + TWRP Complete Tutorial thread but it says I need to revert back to 7.2.3 before starting.
Please help.
Long story short you don't need to downgrade technically. What needs downgrading is the bootloader, also the 7.4.6 will sorta serve its purpose, you need to flash it for second d bootloader, however the current 7.4.6 freedomboot isn't compatible with 7.4.8 in the sense that it compares the freedom boot version with the os version and if they don't match it boot loops into recovery, which isn't a problem if you plan on flashing a custom ROM, so to make things easy just remember to put the ROMs you want to flash onto the kindle ahead of time or it will be slightly more difficult to do so once it starts boot looping into recovery. I recommend the fire flash method if you are not comfortable with a lot of command prompt commands, but in that method there's always the risk of you not seeing the downgrade bootloader option, its there, its just a lot of people tend to not see the check box next to or above the red warning text, and when its not checked you reboot with a nice red screen only a fastboot cable can fix. Just remember if you use the method you are doing, please for the sake of all that is good check the md5sum of the bootloader file you are going to flash to downgrade the bootloader, if you don't and its a bad download you will end up with a expensive paperweight.

Uh.. that seems complicated. Can I just downgrade my version from here and then follow the thread?
Thanks for taking the time out to answer this.
I mean you could but it would be a lot of extra work that's not needed. All you need to do is stick the ROM and gapps on ahead of time, downgrade the bootloader, and do the rest of the instructions as it says in tutorial.

Hey im a noob at this so I was wondering if you could make a more in depth tutorial on how to do that. I have kindle fire hd7 7.4.8 but they dont have a boot image ughhh help please???
That doesn't matter, just follow one of the 2 main tutorials foe your device and use the latest boot image available, make sure you loaded the ROM and zip on ahead of time and all should be fine.

once you it you won't be able to get into kindle os, thus why you need a custom rom on the device ahead of time so you can flash it when it bootloops into recovery mode. If you downgrade it you can still access the kindle os, but it takes a little longer and you have to download another few hundred mb of data.

Ok, great that totally makes sense now. I was missing that you could downgrade once you have TWRP installed. Got TWRP running and I'm making my first back up. Thanks for all you help stunts513! You previous posts and walkthroughs were very helpful!
Hello folks,
I posted this in the wrong forum earlier. Im a bit confused and need some direction.
I want to unleash my KF2 to full android tablet, So...I know i need to root it, I want to go with KitKat style rom but want 100% reliability (so will go with the most stable platform), I have been looking at the guides and how to pages for a week now and there is a lot on conflicting or different information. Can someone point me towards a guide or someone who can help me please.
My KF2 is stock with sideloaded apps at present its software version is 10.4.8 (which i can find no information about regarding root or other hacks)
any information will be gratefully received.
Many thanks
Andy
Anyone help out? Cheers, I'm eager to update this thing

root with kindle fire first aid, think it also has a option to install twrp and 2nd bootloader for you, not sure how reliable that is considering you are going to have to downgrade the bootloader and stuff, for some reason fireflash never had kf2 support added to it, which i find odd considering it uses the same method to do it, minus the fact it needs a different bootloader. Long story short, root with kffa, then either use kffa's option to install twrp and 2nd bootloader(if it has it) or use the tutorial for your device in the android development section made by hashcode. You must downgrade your bootloader though if you do it manually, just a heads up so you don't get stuck with a redscreen that only a fastboot cable will fix.
Thanks very much

Just to summerise,
I root with KFFA,
I install TWRP,
Then a 2nd boot loader,
Then I can do custom Rom,
In a nutshell oh 1 more thing, what's the best Rom to go for and at what point do I need to downgrade my bootloader ? Cheers

eh its more like root. downgrade bootloader from fastboot(make sure to check md5sum or risk hard brick), install 2nd bootloader +twrp.
Lemme grab a tutorial for ya: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100963
Hope this helps.
Dude you're a legend,

So I'll need to buy a fastboot cable to do it then
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
O you don't need a fastboot cable, fastboot cables are only to kick it into fastboot mode when bricked, you can get into fastboot from a working kindle with commands such as
Code:
adb reboot bootloader

Ok mega, so just follow the guide you posted, I'll root it tonight with kffa and do some research about the rest, the root seems quite simple with kffa

um just look through the menus for it, because i am not familiar with kffa, i do all the stuff kffa does manually in a terminal/command prompt. I can tell you how to do it manually if you want but other than that...
Cheers ....it's been about 10yrs since I did command prompt stuff, is there a guide out there ? Cheers

you could still do it all you need to do is run a simple "adb reboot bootloader" from a command prompt while cd'd into the kffa directory. Thats the equivalent of what it wants to do.
I'll give it a go, you have been a great help, thank you, I owe you one......if you need to know anything about cars or mechanical engineering I can sort you out lol

Sweet those are 2 fields I'm always interested in, I took a lot of autotech courses back in highschool because I have an old 75 corvette that sat in the driveway for about 10 years. Already replaced all the brake calipers, master cylinder, rebuilt the carburetor, and did the most ghetto fix to the tachometers circuit board to fix a blown circuit you will ever see. xD
I'll stop digressing before there's a huge paragraph about this, long story short it still isn't drive able yet because the transmission needs some serious fixing (some kinda vacuum issue makes the engine die when going into drive unless you rev it a lot while doing so, and occasionally it blows ATF all over the place from the dipstick/fill hole, was told by my teacher a while back it is probably a blocked vent or something, don't remember the term right now because its been awhile since I looked into it, but I digress again)

Lol, I love the old 'vettes, being a brit most of my expertise are modern TDi engines specifically VAG group and large agricultural engines I.E. SISU power or Cummings, but i'll always try to help where i can,
im going to have another play with the Kindle Fire of annoyance tonight if i get a chance.
I'll post up my yellow triange thingy, and ill try getting into fastboot via command line *bites nails ....shaking with terror*
Still no luck with this thing,
I'm going to start again on my desktop computer where I can start from scratch.
I'll start with the SDK program, Drivers and so on, then onto Root for Windows 7 (anyone with advice - I will listen intently), then I need help to install something like CM or a new OS.
I really want to nail this tonight
Thanks for all your help folks

ok i'm still here to help, also now i recognize who pm'd me the other day *facepalm* sorry i've been gettign on xda like right before i fall asleep lately because of a frustrating project i'm working on thats a bit above my knowledge. Rather than donwload the big sdk, look for a tut made by me in my threads (theres not many threads i created) and it has a zip with adb and fastboot in it and thats it. Way smaller and easier to use, just extract it to a directory and then shift right click the directory and hit " new command windows here" and you can run the adb and fastboot commands. Also drivers are in my signature. They are the kind that you right click the device in the device manager and hit update driver on to use. Any questions feel free to ask.
