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

i have a problem i was running cm12.1 on my hd 8.9 and i tried to do a factory reset from the cm os the device said going into reboot one it booted up it went to twrp but now it wont start twrp it just stays in the twrp boot screen what should i do? please help and thank you.
Okay, before I begin, just like to say thanks for your help (this site in general) with my Galaxy S3 - had to get it replaced due to my idiocy, but was very lucky anyhow!
Anyway, this is my situation:
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7". It was rooted, still had stock rom on there (Amazon) but it was running Go Launcher HD. I wanted CM 10.1 on it (4.2.2)
and followed this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
Followed everything to the letter, and now it keeps going into recovery mode (Orange Kindle logo, then blue, then repeats a few times until it hits TWRP). Now apparently the only thing I can do now is to run ADB using Command Prompt and push the CM 10.1 ROM over to my device, then use TWRP to install it.
The problem is, I have no idea how to use Cmd Prompt, and have downloaded the SDK, and put in the file destinations that this link told me to (apart from it was where I'd placed the SDK, of course): http://zacktutorials.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/adb-is-not-recognized-as-internal-or.html
If i run the ADB file destination on it's own through the cmd, a huge long list comes down with what I assume is a list of options (adb root, adb usb, etc).
So my question now is, is there a step by step tutorial or can someone tell me exactly what to enter/do in order to get that CM 10.1 onto my Kindle Fire HD 7", install it, and have a merry jellybean party? :highfive:
I know I'm an idiot, and I'm not super tech savvy (not when it comes to uber dev stuff like this anyhow)
Thanks for the help/advice!

yeah, that's the first thing I came across. Just tried the 'push' and getting the message "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
That's when I started to look at why I was getting that message, and installed the SDK, and followed that second link (to sort out the paths or something).
U were getting that message because when its not in your paths you need to CD into the directory in the cmd prompt. If you don't know much about command prompt you should read up on it. You still need to CD I to the directory in the tutorial or put the ROM in your current directory for the command to be able to push the file though.

Hi all,
I'm new here, and I've been trying for the past few hours to root my Kindle Fire HD 7" so I can install a CM10.1 ROM and turn it into a google tablet. I've been searching the web for information, and I kept getting directed here so I decided I might as well join.
Anyway it seems the one method that works is the Bin4ry one, and I started following the instructions given on this site and others. However when I installed the driver, it said the installation was successful but when I clicked "Finish" a window popped up and told me the driver didn't install properly. Then I tried to execute the "Run Me" file, but it gave me this:
"Please connect device with enabled USB-debugging to your computer.
the system cannot find the path specified
doing a backup first, please confirm this on your device
the system cannot find the path specified
Done!"
Nothing happens on the Kindle Fire. But I checked the Device Manager, after I downloaded and installed a driver linked in a thread on this forum, it said the Kindle was USB-enabled interface. Anyone have any idea what the problem is, here? Thanks
Ok did you enable usb-debugging in the kindle's security settings? If you have try opening a command prompt and CD into the directory of the adb command in binary's root tool, run adb devices and see if the kindle is listed.

Yep, USB-debugging is enabled. It's the same thing as enabling ADB, right? This is what I've done thus far. I'm running Windows 8, so I've disabled driver signature enforcement, and also installed the drivers. I've checked Device Manager---the system has recognized the Kindle as a Google Android ADB interface, and if I check adb devices in cmd prompt, the serial number of my Kindle is listed. Also created an adb_usb.ini file according to these instructions:
"open adb_usb.ini with notepad
(add on one line each!)
0x1949
0x006
save file."
The problem now is not that nothing happens on the Kindle when I run the root tool, I do get the option to restore data but it prompts me to enter a data encryption password. I researched this and a techleopard article said to enter my Amazon password, which I did but nothing happens. The data restore options (Restore or Do Not Restore) just grey out and the root tool just says "Running" for ever and ever. Tried some other root tools such as Quemp and Kindle Fire Utility, but neither worked and besides the more recent information I've seen have Bin4ry's as the only one that works on 7.4.6 which is the OS I am using.
EDIT: Okay, tried it again and for some reason this time the root tool ran successfully. I did a power reset, and ran a RootChecker, and it says it's rooted but I can't find the SuperUser app (the checker also could not find it). Was the root still successful?
Probably though I am throwing a guess that only the such binary is installed, look in the /system/xbin folder and see if the such binary is there, if you want to to retry the process just delete that file. I was going to mention the encryption password is whatever your lock screen code is set to.
BTW don't ever use kfu to try to root your kindle, it will hard brick it. Its designed only for kf1's.

Heh, actually after a LOT of messing around, and perusing several articles across the web and on xda, I've got it working. KFU didn't brick anything, just didn't work. My only regret is that I now can't access the HD quality movies I'd bought from Amazon because Amazon only allows downloading to the Kindle and the Kindle only, and my internet isn't fast enough to stream HD.
I was following a guide to root my kindle fire hd and install CM11 on it. I somehow managed to transfer extracted versions of gapps and CM11 rather than the .zip versions, and didn't realize this until after I had wiped my device. I have tried using adb sideload to get them onto it, but adb doesn't recognize the device anymore. I do have a backup of the device (boot0block.img, stock-boot.img, stock-recovery.img, and stock-system.img), so if there is some way for me to restore using those I could just do that and try again. What, if anything, can I do?

Yes.
I appear to have solved the issue I was having. I installed PdaNet and followed the prompts in installation, which found the drivers for my kindle fire 7" and installed them successfully. From there, all I had to do was sideload the ROM using cmd (the command is adb sideload [file path of the ROM, including the .zip at the end]). I can't post links because I'm new here, but a simple google search of "adb device not found" had the solution as the first result.
