KFHD System.img Recovery Tool

THIS IS NOT A CUSTOM RECOVERY!!!
KINDLE FIRE HD 8.9 ONLY!!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
This is an update to the KFHD_SRTool, now for use with the Kindle Fire HD 8.9
This is ONLY for use with 8.9" models, not for use with 7" unless you replace system.img with your own backup.
A factory cable is not needed to enable fastboot on this model. Even if the device is in a loop and ADB can not recognize it. I have personally put my device in a loop to confirm it works. To enable fastboot use option 1 from the tool
Instructions:
1. Download and unzip the tool of your choice from the link below (I have confirmed you can downgrade from 8.1.4 to 8.1.3)
2. Run SR Tool
That's it, wait for the tool to finish. Be patient this can take a few minutes. To exit fastboot use option 6 or hold down the power button for 10-20 seconds. When you reboot the first time it may seem to loop once but this is normal and will boot up. Once again be patient, especially if you chose to erase cache and userdata. The system needs to rebuild those partitions. Hope this helps some of you in the community. Again sorry for the size of the download, this is why I made this a separate tool instead of combining it with the HD7 version.
Downloads:
KFHD_SRTv2.1- 8.1.4
KFHD_SRTv2.0- 8.1.3
KFHD_SRTv1.3- 8.1.2
UPDATES:
12-24-12
System v8.1.4
12-12-12:
System backup from v8.1.3 KFHD_SRTool_v2.0
Option menu has changed
New options: Install of GoogleServicesFramework.apk, enable fastboot with device powered on or off.
Option 4 removed due to new option of enable fastboot
DOWNGRADE:
I no longer own this device so I cannot make backups of newer system versions, for the time being here are instructions for downgrading to 8.1.4:
1.) Download boot and recovery imgs(these are backups from 8.1.4) from this LINK and place in the folder where you have access to fastboot or inside the KFHD_SRTool_v2.1 folder
2.) Use KFHD_SRTool_v2.1 to flash system.img.
3.) Erase userdata and cache
4.) Open a cmd prompt from the folder where you placed the previously downloaded .img's.
Use these cmds:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
5- Reboot.
Thanks to mdblaze for bringing to my attention that a factory cable is not needed with this device
Again Thanks to kinfauns for the how to on backing up and restoring system software.

Thank you for adding the 8.9 to your tool onemeila. I appreciate the work you've done.
I can confirm this does work to fix an hd stuck on the kindle fire logo. Thanks again.

I can't download it :/
When I click "download anyway" it just refreshes the page.

Yeah sorry I made those backups before the update. Download from the play store, go into your file manager and move it from /data/app/ folder to /system/app/ folder then reboot.
Did you have to re-root.

OTA Rootkeeper does not work. There are a couple system apps that can be altered to stop updates, I can't think of them but they are in another thread. Now that you have your device working I would recommend making a backup of your own of all the partitions. If you mess something else up outside the system partition this restore tool won't fix it. Very easy to do check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930656

Firstly, good work. Play store wouldn't open for me, so I ended up needing to manually copy all files from gapps onto the device. It seems that you might be missing the gapps framework permission files. It's painfully slow however, and apps are constantly closing. I full wiped using fastboot.

Yeah the google framework was installed as user app on those backups. I don't like installing things as system apks if its not necessary, just more chances of problems. I'm in the process of adding an option to install that separately, via adb. At first I was just trying to keep everything as close to out of the box as possible so people would just have a clean slate, but its nice to have the options of add-ons in one shot if they are wanted.
I was in a hurry when I made the mods to this version for the 8.9 and just haven't had the time to look back over it. So I apologize if something is off. Please let me know if you or anyone catches something. Was it slow after the the restore?

Is this one version 8.1.2 or 8.1.3?
Need a rootable.

The backup was done right out of the box after root, so it would be as close to factory as possible. It should be 8.1.2, but 8.1.3 is rootable also. I lost root after the update and was still able to root.

About an hour ago I ran a tool to change dpi on my Kindle 8.9 and was greeted with the unpleasant notice that my 8.9 could not boot. System goes to the screen that asks if I want to do a factory restore. That of course fails. Downloading your recovery prog, will try it in the morning, anything need to do other than follow your bouncing ball?

Started to use KFHD_SRT v 1.3 When I woke up this morning, had to look for GSFa before starting, then spotted your answer to me, still on my laptop! Sooo I went with KFHD_SRT v2.0 instead. Didn't even finish my first cup of coffee and you had me back up. Needless to say, I think I will stay away from the dpi tool that caused this to begin with. One question, (not sure if I ever used option 5). is it included in Option 3??
I think I owe you something, will take care of it before the weekend.

No it is not. I prefer not to install apps as system apps unless it is necessary. There is no sense in potentially causing more problems. Also the more you install as system, the more you will lose and have to redo if you get an update.

I bricked this device playing with permissions to get app store installed. This tool really saved me.
I used option 4 then 3 and all is well.
Installed Google resources manually as the tool lost the device. Every thing except Gmail that I have in the screenshot works.
Thanks a bunch

Thats good you got it to work but if you were just trying to root this was not the tool to use. This tool is used to unbrick your device. It will give you root access but at the moment it is for v8.1.3. So as soon as you have wifi connected it is going to upgrade again to 8.1.4 and you will lose root.

Confirmed- downgrading from 8.1.4 to 8.1.3 is possible with this tool without having to flash other partitions.

[Q] [KHDF] always booting TWRP

HI,
I am sorry to bother the xdadevelopers community but I have tried to root the KIndle Fire HD 7" I offered to my mom for her birthday a week ago and i can't work around a problem :'(
I successfully installed Team Win Recovery Project. But anytime I boot i get into recovey (even when not pressing any button).
I hace searched the web for the last 3 days but any of the solutions have worked so far:
- I have tried to use adb shell "idme bootmode 4000" buti get /sbin/sh: idme not found
- I have tried adb shell nbmode but with the same result
- The rest of the solutions were for linux users.
So the question is ... what to do from here ?
Thank you very very much for any sugestion

Well, if you can get into recovery, that's a good thing.
I had this problem a couple of days ago. I had tried to revert from Chameleon OS back to the stock OS by flashing Haschode's stock OS zip, which resulted in the issue you described. I fixed it by restoring from a back up of ChaOS o had made, and it got me out of TWRP.
You could try re-flashing Hashcode's stock OS (it comes pre-rooted). It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218475
To move it on to your SD card, go to "Advanced" in TWRP and select "ADB Sideload," or something to that effect. Then from your PC, use a command window and enter "adb sideload name\of\zip.zip"
I don't remember if you have to wipe anything or not before you flash it
Hope this helped

Lol same thing happened to me when I flashed TWRP and 2nd BL. So basically, your in a boot loop. Don't worry you didn't do anything wrong, its just that the stock Kindle OS now hates us because we modified something. So here's what's gonna need to be done. You have TWRP, your all set to flash anything you want! But, you have no custom rom in there correct? My same mistake. Those are all easy fixes, the problem is playing with the KFHD7 drivers on your computer to detect your device 100% while its connected and on TWRP. I can't remember how I got mine to detect it, if I'm not mistaking I unisntalled ALL associated drivers, then reinstalled the ones provided for the rooting process WITH THE DEVICE STILL CONNECTED, then manually updating the driver to those installed drivers in C:/Program Files/Amazon/Kindle Fire. Once its installed, you would need to check by opening a command prompt with ADB, then check for devices by typing "ADB getdevices" if I'm not mistaking and see if some serial numbers show up. Then push the files thru ADB. If you wanna cheat your way thru ADB cause you don't know how to use it properly, do what I used to do. Download the Nexus 7 toolkit, install it, go to the folder where installed and create a shortcut for "tkmain.exe" to your desktop. Then open that and a green text command looking menu is in your view. If serials appear on the top, device is detected thru TWRP. If not keep playing with installing the drivers while in TWRP and refresh the green menu by using option 27 (type 27, then hit enter). Once those serials show up, download the custom ROM you want your mom to have. I recommend CM10.1 as its a small file, stabler than CM10.2, and its basically jellybean. Remember the folder where the Nexus 7 Toolkit was installed, where I first mentioned to make a shortcut for tkmain? Go back to that folder and look for a folder called "put files to push here". Throw the ROM there. Rename the ROM something short and with few or no symbols. When that's done, your ready to push it. Go to the wonderful green menu thingy, type 13 and hit enter. Then it will have two options. Type 2, hit enter. It will ask if your using an insecure bla bla bla. Type yes, hit enter. Then it should show the name of the ROM you threw in the folder, type it out exactly as spelled, hit enter. Push to /sdcard/. Some crap will appear and say "remount failed: Success" ignore that, don't panic, that's good. For a while nothing will show, but afterwards words should appear confirming the push, and Two last questions your gonna type no to. Now your ready to bring moms new device back to life! If you know how to flash a rom, do it. If not, swipe to wipe dalvik cache in Wipe menu, go back, Install > search SD card for your file and flash. Tada! You should see CM logo after the blue Kindle Fire logo and wait til the screen dims more or less, that means your a few seconds away from getting to touch. Remember to start it up, then flash GAPPS so mom can have Google Play, I'm sure she's gonna love Candy Crush Saga as mine does.

Hi,
I have the same problem as AAron Belle, I think:
I followed the
"[REF] Installing Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd-Bootloader + TWRP Complete Tutorial" till step 3.
I wanted to stop at step3 after installing 2nd bootloader and TWRP, without installing any custom ROMS.
I succeeded in the sense I don't have any red screen and the Kindle Fire HD 7 boots in TWRP (Screen Kindle fire in orange, then in blue, then TWRP).
But I can't find a way to boot anymore in the stock system (amazon).
I try to use a factory cable, but without success.
I would like to keep the 2nd bootloader and TWRP that I just installed, and as a first step use them in the amazon environnment.
Is there something I can do (not too complicated, I'm a noob!) ?
Thank you in advance,
Jeanphi

You can use "adb sideload" or "adb push" from a command prompt while plugged into your kindle in twrp and put a new ROM on it, like stock amazon, kinology, cm 10.1 or 10.2, etc.

Try the solution I mentioned above you. I'm no rocket scientist, or an android expert, just picked up a thing or two from experience. If I can do it you can as well. That's why I mentioned the toolkit I used. It may be for the Nexus 7 but it does the same adb commands used for all androids for you. That way if your not an adb expert you can use that. As I said, your first goal is to get your computer to properly detect the device while in TWRP, your stock kindle OS is just doing what it does best when simple modifications are done.

Depends on if the stock ROM is rooted, although usually, the answer is yes since messing around with things like overclocking and so on is always one of the reasons people seek to achieve root. If your going to flash this stock ROM, obviously only possible thru TWRP so yes you'll still have TWRP + 2nd BL. If your going to do the headachey fastboot restore, (not recommended at this point) then no. I've never gotten ADB sideload working, but either way I prefer pushing a rom to the internal SD and just installing.

Once you flash any, there is no recovering the last stock you had, in this case, 7.4.6. This is lost for all of us. Now I haven't yet researched if there is a way to completely revert back to stock (as in removing the TWRP, 2nd boot loader and any other mods), but if there were, that's the way to go back to 7.4.6. However, no matter what ROM you toss on your device, any objects you may have had saved to your SD are still found as long as you don't delete em thru twrp. Remember before tossing in a rom, in the Wipe section, just swipe to factory reset, then go back and Install the zip from your storage.

Coming back to give you some news.
I was not able to use the following link, as it was not on my Kindle and I was not able to have the kindle recognized by the computer.
"This flash .zip file contains the Amazon OS 7.4.3 update + root/Superuser.apk and should have OTAs disabled. You can use this to revert back to the Amazon OS should you need to for any reason."
I decided to use he backup I made and I used the following command, with the factory cable:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
It worked and I have a working device, but without TWRP, 2nd boot loader.
I suppose I could have flashed directly the Amazon OS System mentionned earlier, but I was not exactly sure which command to use.
So, I will to try again to install TWRP, 2nd bootloader.
Thank you very much for your help. I will read again your answers to try to use them in the future.

[Q] TWRP via KFFA

Dear members of XDA,
first of all, sorry if this question already has been asked, but for some reason the search tool wouldn't work for me tonight.
Yesterday I succesfully installed CyanogenMod on a friend's 1st gen Kindle, and it was pretty easy - make sure that the drivers are ok, install TWRP, copy rom, wipe, install, done.
My Kindle 7' HD is rooted, and very modified, but I didn't want to try to mess with roms because I didn't had a factory cable. Well, I got one now, so the time has come.
I've checked Hashtag's post about the 2nd bootloader, and altought it is very helpful, I'm not sure if I'm ready to do all that stuff manually.
So, my question is this:
The KFFA has an option to install the 2nd bootloader + TWRP (option 39), and it itself states that it's the same process that can be found on Hashtag's post. Let's say I run that option, and all that is installed - what next? I just copy the rom and gapps to my device, use TWRP to wipe the stock rom, and install the new one? Just like that?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and best regards -

I suggest putting the ROM onto the kindle ahead of time along with its corresponding gapps, the latest is tends to boot loop into twrp after you flash second boot loader and twrp. You can still push them to the device even if that happens, but it tends to be more inconvenient.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD using xda app-developers app

Well, I managed to install TWRP without breaking anything (altought not with KFFA but with FireFlash). I copied the CM rom and gapps, and wiped the stock OS... Only to find that I copied the wrong rom (I used the otter2 project, not the one modified by Hashcode).
No big deal, I tought, let's just copy the other rom and install it. The fact is that there is no way to make my computer recognize my kindle now. I have the latest version of ADB installed, I can get to TWRP screen without problems, but it always has a yellow marker on the device manager, and when I tipe "adb devices", nothing is listed.
Any tips?

Reinstalled some drivers, now the Kindle appears when I input "adb devices", even if it appears as an "android phone" on the device manager (without any yellow markers).
I can access TWRP and fastboot via the factory cable, but don't know how to continue from there. I want to copy Hashcode's ROM in order to flash it, but cannot find a way. I've read somewhere that it has to be sideloaded, I tried that before reinstalling the drivers, and it didn't work. Now I cannot find that procedure again.
In a 1st gen kindle I remember I could just transfer files via normal folders on windows, as long as I mount it using TWRP. Here on mine, even if I use TWRP's option to mount, nothing happens.

Solved!

i'm sure there is something wrong with my kindle.
i did as alway, flash to random version it work for a hour and it's update to the last version, 7.4.9.
when this tablet upgrade to the last version, i leave as it is for several hours, without root.
we play a little, leave it on. and pooof! it reset and i'm stuck at bootloop.
now i have to redo everthing, sometime it work sometime it doesn't.
when it's work, i will try to TWRP//CM11.
** i dont think the problem come from kindle OS...

Why would you allow it to update? (I assume you are talking about ota)

well, because the option to disable OTA is not work?
anyway, now i'm doomed...
now i try every version and none is working.
so i try to install TWRP flash bootloader kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin and everything, i dont see any blue logo.
I dont have OS to do any backup and so i didnt have any copy of my bootloader.
Can someone share the amazon bootloader??

Do you have a fastboot cord? If not, get one and use SRT option 3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 make sure to follow the OP of that thread.
If you can still access TWRP (sounds like you cannot) then I will assist you in adb sideload a ROM onto TWRP with your stock USB cord.

Try version version 1.3.0 and choose option 3 when running the bat tool. Did you verify the checksum? Insure the download is not corrupted. You also must be doing this from the admin profile of your computer. Not just Admin privileges on a regular profile.

yeah, i did check MD5 and it's good to go. but there is no md5 for stack file.
right now i download again the 7.2.1 img file. There is no md5, but all in zip file, so if i can't extract it mean corrupt.
brb around 1-2 hours...
thx again

sorry for late answer...
i did download again the file and flash and it work... i got to 7.2.1, i disable OTA, Wireless, and i put 2nd bootloader, CM11.
I do habe CM11, but i dont really like it

Fire tablet stuck on logo.

Hi,
I've been making tests with some launchers but now I've a problem and I don't know how to solve it.
I've my Fire rooted. I had Nova Launcher as native but I've uninstalled it by mistake and after reboot, the Fire is apparently stuck on "Fire" logo. Does somebody know a way to recover it? Maybe a hard factory reset, maybe extracting the battery...
Any solution?
Thanks.

Get into Recovery (Power off, then power+volume down), install update by ADB, download the update.bin from Amazon's website, and do "adb sideload update.bin". It will replace the system folder, so you will have to re root and redo the launcher stuff.

Thanks! I cannot find the update file. Is it in Amazon site?

Yeah. Look up Amazon Firmware on Google and it will be the first result. Then just click on this device and download the file.

Thanks again. Now in recovery mode it says "device unauthorized" so I can't sideload the file. I've all ADB drivers properly installed. What's the problem?

Try installing the adb recovery drivers in device manager when it is in recovery mode.

Window sees the recovery mode differently than the rom, you need to manually select ADB composite interface drivers in Device manager

Yeah. If you do it correctly, it should come up as Sideload in ADB Devices.

first of all, the driver files here did not work with the stock recovery. i downloaded the latest drivers using android sdk. even though, i installed the latest drivers (you can find it in C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver as KindleDrivers.exe), windows did not show the exact driver. but i chose "samsung usb adb coposite" or something instead, which did not show up until i installed the latest driver. then, windows recognized the fire and i could reflash the official rom by "adb sideload update-kindle-37.5.2.2_user_522053820.bin".
people should give advice after they tried. not from guessing.
