I had my KF HD rooted for a while and wanted to try CM to make it into a semi full-fledged tablet. Along the way it got into a bootloop. Now the battery has died and I ordered a fastboot adapter from the guys from Blackhat and nothing is happening. When I plug it in all it shows is the battery with one red bar and the computer does not register it. Is completely dead or can I save it.
Update: Well gave it a few minutes with the fast-charger and it had shown the boot loop again, gotta let it charge a little bit and then try again. Will update if anything happens.

Was gonna say you needed to let it set for a few minutes. After it kicks on again leave it for a a few minutes. Then, with it still plugged in, press the power button down for 30 seconds and it will power off. Now unplug and replug in the fastboot cord right away and you will see the screen say fastboot.
Now you need to restore your tablet. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 make sure you have the SDK package downloaded as well.
I can get it to fastboot. But adb does not list the device anymore. Also I run 7.2.3 system restore and it hangs on the system restore part when doing any of the first 3 options. I let it sit for about 30 minutes and nothing happens, the program never progresses and the fastboot screen never changes.
I can see the Kindle in Device Manager and it lists Android ADB Interface when you expand it. Fastboot is on, but ADB is not seeing the device and it is not appearing in My Computer either.

With your tablet in fastboot, open a command window and type "fastboot devices" with no quotes and you should be able to see a number and your device. This is good and means there is communications. if not then you need to install the proper drivers.
Take take your SDK file and look for the folder that has the ADB.exe in it. I think this is the tools folder. Now open it and stick the drivers stunts has in that folder. Drivers here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477379 Now go install that driver for the Kindle in the device manager. Remember that where ever you CD from, that USB driver has to be in that folder as well. Now open that folder with the drivers in it again and stick the stock Amazon images needed in it (get from restore tool if want or Hascode has some in his OP for this) and hold shift and right click on "open command window here." Now you are in CD cmd. You can probably just as easy CD from inside the system restore tool as well (unzip it.)
Now type fasboot devices
You should be able to see a number and your device. This is good and means there is communications.
You need three files. boot.img, recover.img and system.img
issue these commands
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot "your boot image name here."
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery "your recovery image name here."
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system "your system image name here."
Make sure you end the commands with .img
Wait a little bit for it finish
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
I will attempt this when I get off work.
My question is should I delete the android folder in my documents and reinstall sdk to start fresh? I am looking to starting fresh because of the different changes I have done to the files. If I delete the android folder, what process brings it back, what software reinstalls it?
When looking at printers and devices, tate-pvt-08 appears under unknown devices. Is that a good sign or false hope?
Alright well I am trying to flash the 7.2.3 bin through fastboot, about how long is it supposed to take. Does it show progress or anything or do you just have to wait for it to change to each img file?

Good job. Now you have some ADB / fastboot experience and can rely on that and not quick fix sometimes half working working tools.

I'm looking for insight on why my "adb install" command sometimes works and sometimes does not. Again to be clear, I was able to use the command several times successfully, but not consistently.
This week I purchased the Nook Touch, and using the wiki I was able to root it successfully. With much patients and effort I was able to get all the apps loaded up, accept Button Savior Root ver. 1.1.1
As I have been doing this I have had problems with "adb install". Sometimes it will load the .apk file and sometimes it will not. I have tried renaming the .apk files, moving them to other directories.... and sometimes, these tricks will work.
Here is a sample error message I am getting. Any insights would be appreciated, my nook experience will be easier with Button Savior loaded.

The adb driver will sometimes just kick off for some reason. This happens on my nook and transformer. I will be doing something then it will stop responding. Then I just simply plug back the cable after I pull it out and it works fine. Frustrating as crap along with drivers not installed message even when I just used the damn thing connected to my computer a few seconds earlier. If I knew why it did that....I would be happy. What is worse is when you plug the tablet in and then it says device not found...
Perhaps it's a typo in your forum posting, but compare the following lines, 1st taken from your "log", 2nd taken from your directory listing:

I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" I received new in Dec of 2012. Its worked well and I have never had any problem with it.. until.
Last week it was running real slow and I turned it off. When I turned it back on I only got the Kindle Fire screen after holding the button down for at least 20-30 second. It shows on the screen for maybe a minute and then goes black. It does not turn back on unless you hold it down a long time and release and then hold the button down 20-30 seconds again.
I ordered a fastbbot cable and the device enters fastboot mode when turned on and connected to my laptop; the fastboot screen stays up as long as cable i splugged in and even after until turned off. The computer makde the USB detected noise when the cable is plugged in/out. However, using the ADB tool doesn't seem to see the Kindle. I get this:
C:\SRT>adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
After the first time I only get
error: device not found
I've tried 1.3.5, 1.30 and 1.2.3.
I have purchased spudgers in case I need to take it apart.
Anyone have any ideas?

Ok I found a post about the ADB interface and device manager. Downloaded and installed the drivers. I now see a ANDROID DEVICE and under that a ANDROID ADB INTERFACE. That interface driver has a driver date of 8/27/12, driver version 7.0.0.1 and has three driver files:
winusb.sys
wdfcoinstaller01009.dll
winusbcoinstaller2.dll
Still same result form that command. The Android device shows up and disapperas when the Kindle is plugged in.
Thanks for any help and the rapid response.
Color me confused.

You need to update the drives in that short period that you can see the Kindle. What mark was stating was your fastboot drives. Those are what you need to get right to use fastboot commands. You are using a 7" KFHD 2012 correct?

Your ADB drivers will not be recognized at all. This is different than most tablets. Only fastboot commands will at this time. Stop trying to figure out ADB at this pont. ADB is out of the picture at the moment. Only fastboot until the tablet is restored.
1) Get your tablet into fastboot mode.
2) Open a command window and type "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" (with no quotes)
3) You should see product Tate-XXX-XX or something similar.
4) Close the command window.
5) Now use the system restore tool. Follow the OP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
6) Sometimes it does not work as bat tools are not perfect. Try a couple times and it will work.
7) Profit.

I ran the SR Tool even though the previous step gave an error (adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"). I tried the clear cahe and userdata first. Afterwards the Kindle Fire logo was animated but no other change (never loaded even after 1/2 hour) and then tried pushing an image (option 2) which it said succeeded, but I get nothing on the screen but the logo. I'm going to try the latest SRT, not the 1.2.3 (which seemed to match up with my kindle best) and see if I can get it to work form that. At this point its kinda worthless and don't get the red triangle at any time.

\well I ran the latest SRT tool and selected "restore-factory recovery". I went through the process in under 10 seconds. I toook it out of fastboot, restarted it got the animated logo and then the red triangle and option to restore to factory specs. After about 20 minutes the progress bar was complete but it has not restarted and is just sitting there, now for an hour plus.
I would try kindle fire first aid, some have more luck using its restore feature then people that use SRT.

So I have the same issue up to now. I read tons of thread around here. Tried several ways to fix my Kindle but no luck. at one Point i had root twrp and now i have nothing. My kindle is stuck on the logo screen with no animation. I can't even get it to fastboot or anything. I can just shut it down but when I power it back up it just gets stuck on lo the white/yellow logo. My computer can't read it. tried installing driver and nothing. Tried the commands "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" but just stays on "waiting for device".
What else can I do? thanks
If you don't see the blue logo then you will need a fastboot cable to get into fastboot mode.

I'm looking for a good guide to changing the OS of my kindle fire 7" 2nd gen to some sort of regular android, It's been ages since I flashed any roms (ages may sound exaggerated, probably like 4 or 5 years?) and that was only a couple times to find one I liked for an older htc desire so I'm not really sure where to begin. I've rooted the kindle in an attempt to install the google play store but I can;t get it to work, so I reset it to factory defaults.
Bottom Line - Anyone have any suggestions of where i should start with guides to change a Kindle Fire 7" 2nd gen OS to android?

@seokhun's excellent tutorial will help you out immensely. Make sure you know what software version you have, as that will determine how you root. If you have 7.5.1, you may have trouble rooting.

The 2nd bootloader twrp thread is a good place to start.
Read the first page and the last page all information and files are there.
You'll need adb and fastboot drivers
First step root
Second step enable adb debugging in security
Third step install drivers

Fourth step download all needed files
(Link on last page from 2nd bootloader in kf2 android development)
Fifth step get adb and fastboot working

Fastboot driver is where I got hung up.
You basically have to go in and tell it you're an adb composite device.

sorry it took me so long to get back to this. I've gotten as far as testing fastboot, it doesn't return anything whether the kindle is in fastboot mode or not :S have I done something incorrectly? it seems to be properly rooted, I can enable root explorer in es explorer, although the steps didn't exactly match the tutorial.
Hi,
Is it possible to downgrade from Fire OS 5.1.4 to 5.1.2 without root access?

You can attempt to sideload 5.1.2 from the stock recovery menu. Note this has yet to be tested and may brick your device. If you opt to try please post outcome (positive/negative) so the communityncan learn from your experience. If the device is new (within warranty) it can be exchanged if the rollback fails.

So - it looks like, back to Best Buy! *sob*
So I just bought a fire 7 5th gen tablet at best buy yesterday, OS 5.1.4, is it possible to side load 5.1.2 and proceed with root? Please any info would be greatly appreciated.

Suggest familiarizing yourself with first few posts in the above thread; post #3 contains the specific info you seek.
Downgrading with Linux
I've just downgraded 5.1.4 to 5.1.2 using Linux, for the benefit of others:
Enter recovery mode (from the Fire's powered-off state, press Volume DOWN and POWER at the same time and hold until it starts), then select apply update from ADB (use the volume up/down to navigate and `power` to select). The display will show
Code:
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"...
Then, from the computer:
$ adb sideload fire-OS-5.1.2-update-kindle-global-37.5.4.2_user_542168620.bin
If the response is error: insufficient permissions for device then use sudo:
Code:
$ sudo adb kill-server
$ sudo adb devices
G0K0************ sideload
$ sudo adb sideload fire-OS-5.1.2-update-kindle-global-37.5.4.2_user_542168620.bin
When it boots afterwards, it goes through the optimizing applications thing. I had to re-permit adb and unknown sources.

Could someone "translate" this to what I'd have to do on Windows? Went to boot up a Kindle Fire my brother got me for Christmas, plugged it in to charge (thinking it would just charge up and not automatically update) and came back to a freshly update Fire running 5.1.4.
So my understanding is that I have to find the "5.1.2 file", power down, hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN and then from there...? I'm lost at that point.
Thanks in advance for any help guys!

No need to translate; general guidance can be found in the index thread with instructions specific to your needs in this post. There's even a linked video!

Install and run the tool from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
You should have an adb folder now in your C drive. Open a command prompt from within this folder.
Enter recovery mode (volume down + power buttons) and select the "apply update from adb"
Then on your computer, in the command prompt you opened type : adb <filename>.<extension>
The file will start transferring and the fire should apply the package.
I recently got this tablet and it shipped with 5.1.4. Using windows, I managed to download 5.1.2 and adb sideloaded it on using the bootloader and was successful (using Windows 10 as my OS). Doing this I also managed to use the Supertool to root it, and FlashFire to install CyanogenMod 12 on the tablet. Mine was the 16 GB model with the blue outer shell. So I can confirm you can downgrade the 16 GB model from 5.1.4 to 5.1.2 using adb sideload in Windows 10, if that helps anyone.

I ran into this also. adb probably is not on your PATH. I searched for adb and found it and pasted the path to it in the terminal, followed by the sideload command.

I got root from these steps. Thanks.
Now that I have root, should I sideload the newer firmware?
I have unlocked the bootloader but when I boot into Twrp recovery and Format the Data then I am unable to Enable the USB in the Enable MTP section . So, because of this I am unable to transfer any files and I am unable to root my phone . Please help me . Thank you .
I have the same issue. Even if I disable and then again enable mtp, the internal storage isn't displayed on my computer. I had formatted data. Because of this I cannot even load any OS zip and my phone is just with no OS. It's not working on any version of twrp posted in the official twrp page for the x526. Can anyone help? It's urgent.
How can I transfer files from my PC to x526 when it's in TWRP? Reinstalling Twrp or Full device wipe didn't help either.
Disabling/Enabling MTP makes the disconnection/connection sound on my PC ,but No x526 data disk is displayed.
Can anyone please reply? Is MTP transfer working fine for everyone else?

1. Usb type C otg cables are costly
2. I'm not looking forward to an added hassle of moving files into a flash drive when there is an option to directly put files in root memory.
Here is the solution :-
1 open twrp recovery in your phone
2 connect the data cable to your phone and your computer
3 in the recovery click on ENABLE MTP option
4 after that download MINIMAL ADB AND FASTBOOT SOFTWARE IN YOUR COMPUTER i will post the link
5 install it on your pc and copy any file you wanna past and past it in the c drive programme files x86 minimal adb folder
6 than open the cmd by shift and right click open cmd here
7 in cmd type 1st command - adb devices hit enter
2nd. adb push (file name) without breakets /sdcard/.
Done your file will be copied to twrp and now you can easily flash a rom , file etc.

It's a very roundabout way of doing a simple thing.
Does mtp work for you on your x526?
If yes which version /variant of twrp are you on?

I have the same problem as you have with my cm 14 version of my Ray. I just hear the USB-off sound when plugging in and out the USB cable but never saw a drive symbol on my laptop (Windows 7).
I would wish to find the answer why it doesn't work.
However, I found a way out:
The only file transfer method that works fine is USB-OTG.
Hope that helped...
Best wishes.
