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

Thanks you anyway!
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.

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?

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 7" Stuck on TWRP (2.4.4.0) - Won't Mount - BTC for quick help!
Yes I am a n00b here.
I have done many jailbreakings with no problem.
I have been using my Kindle Fire HD 7" since Feb. and reading the XDA forums and finally decided to root.
I used the newest bin4ry with no problems - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351201
I then loaded TWRP and Kindle Fire Flash using this most recent method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347170
Again with no problems.
I then was going to load CyanogenMod 10.1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245335
But my Kindle Fire is stuck on the TWRP screen and my PC is not showing my Kindle to drop the .zip files.
When using ADB command prompt I typed "ADB devices" and it says "List of Devices Attached - 123456789ABCDEF recovery"
So that's where I am at.
I have searched the forum many times with no luck.
Please help me load CyanogenMod or get it back to stock.
I don't care about losing apps or anything because they were all free ones.
I got a bit of BTC for anyone that can help with a quick solution.
Put the zip u wanna flash in the same directory as adb, and try this: adb push nameofzip.zip /sdcard/nameofzip.zip
That should put it on the sdcard

I am in the same situation, however I have no idea how to use ADB and which directory it is installed. I rooted my sons kindle fire HD and installed TWRP the same way, however I cannot find anything on my computer regarding an ADB directory.
Any help at all will be very appreciated.
Binaries root comes with it, try cding into that directory, my wallpaper fix in my SIG also has it.

Hey Mr. Derrick!
Hopefully we can get you setup using the same solution that worked for me.
ABD can be kinda confusing, especially if you are new to rooting.
(I can't post links yet so change my xx to tt)
If you want to try re-downloading it you can get it here: hxxp://developer.android.com/sdk
Are you trying to install the Cyanogen Mod 10.1 on there as well?
You will need that also in order to get it up and running.
You can download that here: hxxp://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/cm10.1/cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip
It helps to put all this stuff in the same folder, I just made a folder called "Kindle Stuff"
Now, go into your Kindle Stuff folder and go to adt-bundle-windows > sdk > platform-tools
Copy and paste your "cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip" folder in there.
Then in a blank space in the folder hold down "Shift" and "right click"
On the list choose
"Open command window from here"
In the command window copy and paste this: adb push cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip/sdcard/cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip
That (should) load Cyanogenmod onto your Kindle.
Once it finishes transferring, you can click "Install" on the TWRP homescreen.
It (should) automatically load it right away, if not just scroll to the "cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip" file and open it up.
I really hope that works for you, because that's what did it for me!
I'm having the same issue with being stuck on the twrp screen, but I can't get an adp connection. Im also attempting to load cm 10.1 onto my kindle fire hd 7. In case it matters my pc also says there's no drivers for the kindle (I installed the proper drivers and adp and sdk software prior to rooting and flashing twrp and they worked fine, the problem only started after installing twrp)
Try the drivers in my signature. Its probably my just an old twrp build before has code updated the vid and pid in it.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
how would i install those drivers so that the kindle would use them...when i originally installed the drivers for the adp connection, it was done automatically
---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
ok the drivers work now and i have a adb connetion...thanks by the way, and now im trying to sideload the ROM file onto the kindle so i can install it with twrp. i put the folder into C:\users\joe and tried the command adb sideload filename.zip (i renamed the folder "filename") but i got an error saying error: closed
any ideas?
I don't bother with side load. Just load up twrp and run "adb push filename.zip /sdcard/filename.zip

Hello all.
Was tinkering around with my KF- And accidentally wiped everything from my internal storage and system. When it boots up I get the blue KF logo and it stays stuck there- Can't boot into recovery.
ADB doesnt recognize it.
Have a fastboot cable.
How do I atleast push files to it /boot into recovery??
Many thanks.
To boot into recovery, after you power on the kindle, immediately let go of power and instead hold volume down usually only until you see the blue kindle logo. You can hold it longer if it makes ya feel better, it should then show the twrp logo and from there you can use adb to push the ROM of your choosing onto the device, here's a tutorial for that assuming you get into recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498
I think I know how to get it into recovery from fastboot as well but if that doesn't work you'd just have to reflash Amazon's os with kindle fire first aid.

I tried all of this- Yes, I got it into recovery, It was recognized once by ADB and when I attempted to push the files from a flash drive it stopped working. Did the flash drive effect it or? It's also not showing up in device manager at all anymore after updating the drivers to ADB.

You cannot use a flash drive with the Kindle Fire HD as it's unsupported. You have to push it via command prompts on your computer. Follow the tutorial posted. try adb sidelad rather than adb push as the command.

I don't believe I made myself clear. I attempted to push a file from a flash drive connected from my computer and after it was attempted ADB couldn't find my device. Unless I am misunderstanding you, this is what I did. I have attempted cmd prompts and none are moving to my avail.
My apologizes if I am misunderstanding you, sir.

Ah gotcha, I was thinking you were trying to use OTG with a flashdrive. So, I wonder if the problem was that you were trying to flash from a flashdrive or maybe you are missing the adb.exe file. The folder you put the ADB drivers in should have a file marked adb.exe as well. This is what will execute the pushing of the files. Make sure you point the drivers after it is in the folder you will CD from. If you don't have this then download the sdk package and in one of the tool folders you will have adb.exe. Just throw your drivers and ROM in that folder and that will be the folder you CD from.
So try this:
a. Make sure the ROM, ADB drivers and adb.exe are in the same folder.
b. Now go into device driver and manually (choose from your files) update the adb drivers and install them.
c. Once the adb is again recognised go into the folder with all the files and find a white area and hold shift and right click on the mouse and choose open a command window here.
d. Now enter the commands adb sideload name-of-rom-or-file-here-make-sure-to-add (.zip) - at - the-end /sdcard/
e. Give a minute for the process to show in the command window. You should start seeing some percentages as the file is pushed.

I attempted your method shown here and I get stuck at ADB drivers. There is no Kindle Fire device in my device manager and no bubble shows up when my kindle is attached to my pc. Could the cord be the issue? (I'm also running Windows XP, if that makes a difference.)
Also, I have drivers installed, but I'm unsure they're the correct ones. Where can I find them?

You won't have a pop up when your tablet is plug in at this point. In your device manage do you see a yellow triangle? There should be some android device in your device manager of some sort the pops up when plugged in. To test abd being recognized type adb devices in the command window and you should see your device show in the command window within 30 seconds.

After another day of messing with it, yes, finally, it's recognized in ADB. I can push anything but the .zip files for Gapps and Roms. When I try to, it just gives me a list of all the commands you can use with ADB. I've tried ADB sideload and push. Neither work.

Okay, so now no file is pushing/sideloading to my Kindle. I have them in the same folder I'm CDing from and it's still just running through what commands ADB can do. I'm unsure why it's doing this? It pushed once and now it won't anymore (similar to how it detected my kindle before then didnt).

Yes, my Kindle is still recognized.
i dont os on my kindle fire hd 7
I am having a mare with my kindle fire hd 7
It all starrted when anything google related kept crashing.
I tried to find solutions to the problem but no joy.
I then tried to install a different update to cyanogenmod nightly software but i then had a major problem with not being able to turn on my wifi.
I went into Twrp and tried to restore to my previous software but when my kindle re-booted i got stuck with a flashing teamwin logo
After trawling for days i managed to get out of that but im now in a situation where i dont have any OS on my kindle.
I have followed instructions on how to push files onto my kindle but despiote finding some files on my sdcard i am unable to reboot past the blue and white Kindlefire logo.
I have tried using the kindle un-brick java option but no joy either
I would really appreciate some help solving this proble as it is really driving me crazy.
I can still access twrp and i can access bootloader to get the orange and white fastboot logo.
If someone can help guide me through how i can get my kindle working again id really appreciate it
cheers

I've tried a bunch of tutorials on here to fix this, but can't figure it out.
I was on my Kindle HD 8.9" running CyanogenMod 10.1, which it has for a year. Suddenly, I got some popup last night. It said there was a nightly build update in my notifications area, so I just clicked "OK" and let it do its thing. It installed for a little bit, all was okay... but now I cannot access my Android OS.
I went to turn my Kindle on after the update, but it keeps going to TWRP. What will happen exactly is it starts... orange letters... then blue letters... then restarts again to orange letters... then blue letters... then TWRP. Why does it keep going to TWRP? How do I fix this?
My Kindle can't even connect to the PC. I just either get "Unknown Device" or "Kindle" in my Device Manager, and mounting from TWRP does nothing.
Then I try installing the Android SDK to get the ADB on my machine, and I added the "Path" in my environment to the two tools folders, but nothing... same thing happens. Constant loop into TWRP. Driving me nuts.
The update it wanted me to install when I could still get into the Android OS was cm-11-20140420-NIGHTLY-jem. I thought maybe trying to connect my Kindle to my PC in order to open the drive, then pasting the cm-11-20140420-NIGHTLY-jem into a folder and installing again from TWRP would solve my problem, but I can't even get that far.
I'm at a loss. Please help.

boot into twrp, check what version of twrp you have. Then you may need to update your twrp to be cm 11 compatible if its not at latest version, current version is like 2.7.0.0(least it is for the 7", havnet check to see if that builds out for 8.9 as well), anyways check the device manager for a device with a yellow triangle next it, if you don't see that and you do have a adb interface showing up but adb doesnt detect it then uninstall the adb device and mtp device and search for devices, if it still doesnt work look for a component device with a vid of 1949 in the properties>details>hardware id's section, if you find it then remove it and scan for device. Windows is a pain in terms of drivers for the kindle in different modes. Once adb is working its as simple as pushing the rom with adb push. You may need to factory reset and/or wipe internal storage so i recommend backing up the data, i would assume the current bootloop has something to do with either no factory reset before going to cm 11 or selinux issues, but that would mean the kernel didnt flash in the ota which would be weird.

Now I'm all screwed up. Before I saw this message, I restored my Kindle back to when it was still running the factory default OS with root, then I shut it down to enter TWRP, and it appeared on its own, but it was installing some sort of update... and when the Kindle's factory default OS appeared, my root was gone. Now I am stuck on the factory default Kindle HD 8.9" on System Version 8.4.8. Man, I should have never accepted that update and just left it as it was. Ugh. Well, for right now, there's an entry in my Device Manager that says "Kindle Fire" and when you click the arrow to bring down the submenu, it says "Android ADB Interface." The Kindle is now working when connected through USB. Now... how do I go about rooting this thing and getting TWRP on it again, because it seems the entire thing got erased. Not having my ROM installed on this thing makes it mostly useless to me.
Root with kffa or binary's root, think the newest version has different choices than the tutorial, use the old normal method. Last I checked it worked.

I can't find anything. Download links are dead for KFFA. You have a link to get it through another source?
They are up and running when I click em. You were on this thread right?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
If that doesn't work you can always use binary's root.

Nah, the link is dead here. Says the file was removed. There are other members in the forum asking as well for a new link.
I managed to get ADB working, and in Device Manager, I have "Android Device -> Android Composite ADB Interface."
I open CMD and type "ADB" and it scrolls a bunch of stuff, but when I type "ADB Devices" I get a list with nothing there. It's just blank.
I tried using BIN4RY Revision 33, using Option #1, but it just keeps bringing me to a "Path not Found" error of some sort.
It looks like all I need to manage to do now is get ADB to list my Kindle device before attempting the ROOT, but how can I do that?
I still wanna give KFFA a try, but no downloads anywhere, and I don't trust random 4Share and the likes, not that it's gonna fix my problem.
I'm close... I just need this damn ADB to list my Kindle device and I think I'll be okay.
Also, I want to say thanks for the help you've given me so far. It's greatly appreciated. :highfive:

No problem, i like helping people fix things.
Try uninstalling the device and letting it search for new hardware. This is more than likely a driver issue.

Oh, believe me. I tried that like 50 times. I think I'm just gonna make a virtual machine of Win7, completely clean install without all my drivers everywhere, and try my luck there.

From the administrator profile on your PC open a command prompt and type Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON then hit enter. Now restart your computer. This will disable Windows driver security enforcement. Then try to install the drivers in the device manager.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I'm pretty sure one or more of my drivers are interfering with the connection to the Kindle, but this is such an old OS with so many drivers, it's hard to tell.
Right now, I have a Virtual Machine of Windows 7 up. I plugged my Kindle in and I can instantly see it. I can even enter the internal storage! I'm currently installing the Android SDK for the ADB after installing the Java SE x86 version. Once I get ADB on it, I'll see if it lists my device now. Seems promising since the VM sees and allows me to already enter the internal storage, unlike my original Win7 OS.
EDIT #1: Great news! ADB now lists my device! Thing is... Root with Bin4ry Revision 33 does not seem to want to work. This is what I get...

It doesn't give me a chance to do anything. All of that pops up as soon as I press enter. ADB and third party software is enabled on my Kindle. ADB even reads my device as:

EDIT #2: Success! The issue was I was using Root with Bin4ry Revision 33. I should have been using Root with Bin4ry Revision 30. That worked, and I am now ROOT. Mission accomplished. Now the next part of my mission... figuring out how to get TWRP on this thing.
Well, trying to install TWRP is going very wrong. I'm using the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175
Everything seemed to work until I get to Step 3. I'll enter the commands but it tells me that there is no such directory or something. Something about there not being any "stack." Can't recall. I wanted to ask on the thread there but the site isn't allowing me to post there.
adb push stack /sdcard/ is where the issue occurs. Everything else worked.
I'm at a loss, and the comments don't seem to help on that thread. Please tell me there is an easier method of getting TWRP on this thing.

He's on a 8.9", he just posted in the wrong section. Use the fireflash method from seokhuns tutorial, just don't forget to check the box with red text near it or you will get a nice redscreen brick. Lemme grab a link
Edit: link grabbed! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105
I used FireFlash, followed the instruction... now I cannot get passed the first "Kindle Fire" logo when I turn the Kindle on. It just freezes at "Kindle Fire" as soon as I turn it on. I can't seem to do anything at all, and it won't connect via USB. Any ideas?
You missed a check box somewhere. If it is indeed a 8.9" kindle this should be fairly easy to fix. Open the device manager and plug the kindle in while it is off, it should briefly appear as a jem device. While it briefly shows up you need to right click it and hit update drivers and navigate to where you would have downloaded and extracted the drivers in my signature, once you manage to install them you just need to run a "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" with the kindle unplugged and off, and then plug it in once it says waiting for device. It should then go into fastboot mode where you can restore from kffa or SRT.

It's not working... it won't read at all. Device Manager doesn't see the Kindle at all. And yes it is 8.9". I think it may be bricked now. ;'(
And all because of that stupid update... ughhhh. Sucks!
You should try the command from a Ubuntu live CD/USB if is a lot easier to do from there, if it won't work from there then I would be convinced something may be wrong with the bootloader, but I don't see the bootloader as the problem because if anything it would have just been downgraded and I'm more inclined to thinking the bootimg is corrupted. That can cause odd behavior with the bootloader. Are you positive this is the 8.9" model and not the 7" model?

I switched over to my main Windows 7 OS and did what you said. I connected it and it showed for a brief moment in Device Manager, so I quickly loaded the driver and updated. But wen I type the command you gave me, it says <waiting for device>, so I plug it back in and... nothing. At all. Just sits there at <waiting for device>
I'd try Linux, I have several copies of different OS's, but I'm not very good at working with it or using Terminal... I can try that though, but no clue how I'd get ADB or the Kindle to read on it. :\
And yes, 100% it's the 8.9". The resolution is 1200p.
OK the command has to be run while the device is off and disconnected, once it says waiting for device, plug the kindle in and it should work if the drivers are working. Linux is really easy to use with a kindle, it has the fastboot and adb drivers built in natively, only thing you need is the fastboot command from the Ubuntu repos if you are using Ubuntu, believe they were added to the repo in 13.10.

Hello to everyone,
I was looking how to install Amazon Store on my Kindle Fire HD 2012 running CM11, when I noticed that I have to change something in /system/build.prop
I had troubles to edit this file because root privileges, so I copied it to emulated SD, then I edited it and copy again to its original path.
It seems than anything went wrong. The tablet gets stucked with "Kindle Fire" blue logo on the screen.
Notes:
My laptop (W7) doesn't recognize the tablet. ADB drivers are correctly installed (or, at least, it seems it). It tries to install "MTP USB device" but it fails before complete setup.
How can I repair /system/build.prop?
EDIT: Nevermind, I ****ed it up.
I have made a wipe of cache, davik and system with "team Win Recovery Project" and it screwed everything. It looks like it is erased, so I'll try to install a new CM version.

Maybe it's a noob question, but... how I could do that? I had tried several times to install ADB drivers (W7) and it doesn't install correctly. Installer says that it can't write 0x1949 in users/MYUSER/.android/adb_usb.ini file

To install the adb driver you need the drivers in my signature. I haven't seen people even messing with the adb_usb.ini file in a while. If you are trying to install it while in twrp and you still happen to see a MTP device then you will need to find a USB composite device in the device manager and if you have more than one, it's simple enough to find the right one, just right click one and goto details and then choose hardware id's, if one has a vid of 1949 then uninstall it and scan for new devices and it should pick it up correctly.

Right Click>Install (w/ Administrator rights)
My Windows 7 (x64) says "This install metod is not valid for this .inf file"
I tried to install original ADB under Administrator account and it looks like are correctly installed, but after that, my pc detects the Kindle Fire HD on "printers/other (and a picture of a mainframe as icon)", so I don´t have access to internal storage to copy CM11 rom and gapps zip.
Note: I own a fastboot cable, I don't know if it could be usefull in this case.
You don't install my drivers like that... open the device manager and if you see a device with a triangle next to it, right click it and hit update drivers, then point it to where you extracted them and it should install.
