[Q] bootloop on fire hd7

Hello,
I have been trying to install whatsapp on my kindle fire hd and followed a guide that said to use the allwinner mod apk.
I did install the allwinner mod, selected samsuns s9000 and tried to install whatsapp
It failed, so i rebooted the kindle.
Now I am stuck at bootloop.
I see the kindlefire boot going but the system never boots.
I tried with kindle first aide to re-flash the original firmware, but failed since it seems unable to connect.
I tried to connect from command line but I cant get the fastboot command to go, tried with the original cable and with another one that I have got and that has always worked.
Im now out of ideas.
Since the kindle is rooted I dont think i can send to amazon, any idea?
Thanks

You need to get a fastboot cable to get your kindle into fastboot mode in order to flash it. They are pretty cheap.

Hello and thanks
I noticed that it responds to adb with a normal cable,
since i know that the allwinner mod changes the build.prop I was wondering if there is a way to restore the original one via abd.
Is there someone that has a build.prop to send me (kindle fire hd 7)
In the meanwhile I put on order the fastboot cable...
Thanks

A lot of build.prop can be found at persano's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116243
But make sure to pick the right one.
Unfortunately I don't know If you can resp. how to put it in the right place to make it work.

Hello
many thanks I managed to get it out of the bootloop.
the procedure is:
download the build.prop and save to the computer /home (i use linux) then open a terminal and connect the usb cable to kindle
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
exit
exit
adb push ./build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
su
cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/build.prop.old
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
exit
exit
adb reboot
and that's it.

How was adb working during a boot loop? That's bizarre.

[Q]Bricked Kindle fire HD 7"on TWRP

Hi everyone, today i would like to ask for your help with a pretty big problem i have with my Kindle fire HD, you see, i was updating from my current rom 7.4.4 to CM 10.2. to achieve thi i followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 , everything was going fine until i installed 2nd-Bootloader and TWRP recovery. The problem came up here, when i realized that i forgot to move the rom and the files for google play into the SD card, now whenever i try to do this i can't seem to get my PC to recognize the Kindle with TWRP (i can browse my files and such with TWRP directly through the kindle itself) i tried to move the required file with adb and fastboot but i can't get it to work.
The kindle is rooted and running version 7.4.6 from amazon.
i have a backup for the rom and the files but i can't use fastboot.
i have a backup for each of the following files: boot0block, stock-boot, stock-recovery, stock-system
all the adb drivers and sdk are functioning perfectly.
When i connect it to my PC with windows 7 i can see the kindle recognized by the device manager but it has yellow triangle next to the icon.
i also tried using an otg cable but the kindke did not recognize it.
any and all help is appreciated, i don't want my tablet to die Dx

I've never had to do this, but in TWRP, if you go to "Advanced," there's a button labeled "ADB Sideload." Then you should be able to use ADB to sideload files onto your Kindle using the "adb sideload" command.
Example:
Code:
adb sideload name of.zip
Hope this helped

Try updating the device driver for the device with mark next to it, use these drivers from this post, they should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44446906&postcount=9

Ok if u want to simply type file.zip u need to be CD's into the directory of where u put the ROM, but as it seems u have the SDK in your paths simply putting the ROM in c:\users\cristian should suffice. Try moving the ROM there and running the command again.

One step further
My apologies for hijacking this thread. I had made the same error as the OP. however, instead of searching here for solution, I panicked and wiped the cache and user data using the SR tool and wiped everything. Now unfortunately my kfhd tells me it can't boot, which my incompetent mind tells me is likely because I have no rom?
I've tried to use first aide to do a system recovery but I get told the files are too large and it can't do anything.... Any suggestions or thoughts from people? Appreciate any help I can get. Been up late the last 3 days trying to sort this out, while I thought I was going to provide m wife with a slick android device!!

That's odd, I wouldn't think wipe your data partition and cache would cause that to happen, then again there are some files stored under data the system uses out side of apk's so I guess that could be why. Did you get your kindle into fastboot? If you did I would suggest trying to use kfhd system restore tool if kffa didn't work.

Yes, can fast boot. Shows up when I plug in the factory cable. When I use the system restore tool, and try and do a basic recovery, it can't copy the images over as it says the files are too big.

I did. Not sure i do now post trying to do a wipe. Don't see any blue when I start up, just the original kindle letter coloring, after which I get a message saying it can't boot

any suggestions anyone or is my kfhd pretty much killed? there's got to be a way to load some rom on to it!!

You should be able to load the original images over fastboot, something just isn't working right. I would say its far from hard bricked, it should still be fixable, its just a matter of troubleshooting it. If you have the kindle fire system image I would try manually flashing it but you need to know what you are doing. If you CD into the SRT folder where im assuming the IMG files are in the same folder as fastboot, try running "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img" think I got the syntax right, haven't had to ever use fastboot myself, anyways if you run that what does it report back? Hopefully not the same error, or it might be something messed up with the image.

thanks for the advice. ended up re downloading the images again and this time it worked. go figure.
back to starting again to get my custom rom on.
once i have a custom rom, guessing there are no amazon bits left in there that would cause any updates to come through right?

Thank god there isn't, I would scream if there was, just make sure to wipe system, cache, dalvik cache and do a factory reset when coming from amazon to cm based ROMs.

Good afternoon: I bricked a nice 8.9 tablet several weeks ago using ADB sideload...
I used ADB Sideload to install Gapps since I was already in TWRP and was too lazy to reboot and transfer the gapps.zip file to my tablet.
The sideload installed the gapps.zip as I expected it to and I was brought back to the main TWRP screen.
When I clicked on reboot/reboot system, the tablet started flashing the three partitions (boot, recovery and system) as I was watching. TWRP then left me at the booting screen doing nothing. I did not know why the tablet decided to flash the three main partitions but, I opted to push the power button and that was the last time I saw my tablet.....
Apparently ADB sideload is only for ROM's? I had only used it to flash ROMs prior but, I thought ADB Sideload should be able to install any properly zipped file designed to flash with TWRP?
Regards

Installed TWRP but no system 7.4.6

Hey, I looked on other threads but I did't find my problem or the description was too difficult for my ( I'm from Germany, my english is good but not perfect).
I installed TWRP but I also deleted my system, now I only can use the TWRP Menu...
But I think that I can use adb, when I type:
Code:
adb devices
then there comes:
Code:

You shouldn't nessasrily need fastboot to fix this, I'm assuming the drivers you don't have installed for twrp is the adb device, so try updating Ur drivers with this version of the drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=44446906
Once the adb driver work you should be able to go I to twrp, hit advanced, then hit side load, and swipe to start side load, and with it plugged I to your PC put either a cm ROM or the stock rooted amazon ROM from android development into the same folder as your adb command, and run a line with this syntax in a command prompt: adb sideload myrom.zip
If that doesn't work you might be able to use adb push when not in side load mode but I haven't tinkered to much with twrp. If you must resort to using fastboot you shouldn't even need a factory cable in this case, as u can just go into twrp and hit reboot and tap bootloader, that should put you in fastboot. Hope this helps.

There I don't understand the part with sideloading a rooted stock or custom rom.
I hope that you can help me and thet you understand my question
EDIT: I have a factory cable mybe it's good to know for you.

Basically you put the file you want to flash in the same folder as adb unless your have adb in your system paths, and type "adb sideload filetoflash.zip". You still have to go into twrp before this and hit advanced, then hit sideload, then swipe the thing. Sorry if this seems repetitive, I'm not sure how to make it much simpler. If you can't figure out the side load just do what I would do, boot your kindle into twrp, and plug into your PC. Now with the file you want to flash to the kindle in the same folder as adb run "adb push filename.zip /sdcard/filename.zip". That should put the file onto the kindles sdcard, from there you can use the install button in twrp and choose the file.

[Q] Need help restoring my KFSOWI

Hey everyone,
first off, I have my Kindle for a few weeks now and it's my first Androit device. I started reading into rooting and adb commands only a few days ago, so please excuse me if I'm not writing accurately with some terms. Additionally, I could not find a similar problem via searching.
Here's my problem (I'll try to be as detailed as possible):
I rooted my KFSOWI running 11.3.1.0 yesterday using Moronigs rooting method. It went well and I had full root access (typing su in an adb shell resulted in an # and all that).
Today I wanted to edit the framework-res.apk to exchange some images. Stupid as I tend to be I wanted to rename the original file and then paste my modified one. The device started giving out various crashes, telling me that lots of apps stopped working. Only then I realised that the file is needed to run the system. Unfortunately the Kindle had shut down at some point and when I boot it now it only gives me a black screen (although the backlight is still on).
Here's what I tried so far:
1. I wanted to adb push the modified file to the system/framework folder, but it tells me that the folder is read-only.
2. So I wanted to change permissions but it seems I don't have root access anymore (I don't even get the # output in the adb-shell after typing su).
3. I tried installing the package via adb but it says "Error: COuld not access package manager. Is the system running?"
I guess it doesn't boot up the package manager and root access. You guys have any idea what I can do right now? Seems like a lost cause to me. And if so, can I try sending it back via warranty?
Any help is very much appreciated. And thanks for all the great work on these forums.

Does nobody have an idea? Would be very sad if I couldn't use it anymore. Although I'm the only one to blame. Does someone have experience on sending it back to amazon for warranty? As far as I know rooted devices lose their warranty.. :-/

At this point, I would send it back to Amazon. all they will check for is physical damage and send it back to China. I hear some people bricking their tablet several times and getting a replacement. Thing is that Amazon's warranty questions are only water damage and did you drop it questions. So you don't even have to BS them to get a replacement.

If you have a fast boot cable you might restore it. Now it's not the cable that came with Kindle, it's a special programming cable that will put it into fast boot mode.

There are no exploits for this boot loader yet. Don't think a fastboot cord will do much at the time.

Did noone come up with a solution, because i did the same thing, with the framework-res.apk
i can make a fastboot cable if itll do any good without an unlocked bootloader. could i possibly push the most recent update.bin from amazon and restore the device to stock???
---------- Post added at 04:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------
i wouldnt take bricked for an answer and i found a fix
what i did was make sure the kindle was connected to adb and typed the following
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device shell su
the shell managed to snag the SU file and displayed # before the device looped thru all of the boot apps over and over, but then CMD froze.
so i tried this
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device shell su mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap.hsmmc.1/by-name/system /system
and in one line got root access and remounted the system as RW
my problem was that framework-res APK was replaced with ZIP so all i had to do was rename it
# cp /system/framework/framework-res.zip /system/framework/framework-res.apk
and success!!
# exit
$ exit
adb reboot
and she booted right up!!!!

First response so please be kind. My KFSOWI is stuck in the bootloop too. I have a factory cable and can get into fastboot but don't have any factory images to restore. Anyone have any ideas?

Do you get any adb access? I don't think casebook will be any help until someone unlocks the bootloader

[Q] Can't unlock the unlockscreen

i tried to install swype custom keyboard and it was a fail and when i rebooted as required after install i can't type in my password to unlock the screen because it says swype has stopped and i could just remove the app but i can't unlock my screen because i can't type in my password i tried ADB to remove the the app but that didn't work because it is a system app and it keeps on saying i don't have permission when i try the remove command and i tried to run the root command and su command on adb so i could remove it but it didn't work even though my kindle is rooted so now what do i do that is a alternative to a factory reset ( last choice )

You have to mount system as read-write before you rm anything on it. Run this first: /
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm oathandorfilenamegoeshere
that should do the trick

if you mounted the system with read-write permissions i don't see any reason you wouldnt be able to do that short of not su-ing into root first.
Technically you can just restore the system partition without touching the userdata, i know srt wouldnt touch it but not sure about kffa, and you should be able to throw it into fastboot with
Code:
adb shell "su -c 'reboot bootloader'"
