[Q] CM10 Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Intruction

Hi,
i have a kindle fire 8.9 and i never did any rooting before. since i heard, that hashcode released a method of 2nd bootloading and cm10.1, i wonder how to install it. unfortunately i dont even unterstand his first prestep of
Q: How do I know if my fastboot works?
A: With the Kindle powered down, type the following command into a cmd/terminal window on your PC (should return with: < waiting for device> ):
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Then connect USB to the Kindle and reboot. It *SHOULD* show a Fastboot screen and your terminal window should show something like:
product: Jem-PVT-Prod-04
Type this to reboot out of fastboot mode:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

because opening cmd in windows 7 and typing "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" doesnt work and doesnt make any sense to me. does anybody know, where i can get some first time user instruction or a movie which describes it!

How much do you know about using the command line, in general?
[EDIT:] Also, for future reference, "doesn't work" does not help anyone to pinpoint your problem. Try to include error messages if you can.

i workes 8 years ago the last time with windows xp command lines to copy stuff in a local network.
the generell problem i have is to find out how to install the second bootloader on my kindle fire 8.9
the instruction starts with checking if you have fastboot. but simply coping the lines "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" into windows 7 cmd.exe only gives me the error of
fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command

i am pretty sure that there is some missing information about programms i need to install before or so

The instructions assume you already have adb and fastboot installed and configured to run on your computer. Tyipcally, you just need to have your drivers installed and configured properly and have the adb.exe and fastboot.exe readily accessible. Unless both of those programs' locations are added to your PATH environment variable, you must run the commands from the directory the program (fastboot.exe) is located or include the path to the program in the command itself.

Kindle not found in adb & stuck

I realize there are dozens of similar threads but none so far has helped. I'll keep looking but in the mean time I thought I would try asking for advice.
I screwed up somehow attempting to root my Kindle HD 7". It was stuck in a loop returning to the "restore factory" screen w/ orange triangle every time. I bought a factory cable and the kindle is now in Fasboot mode.
However, every set of instructions I can find to take the next step of restoring the original firmware requires adb and/or fastboot to recognize the kindle. I cannot figure out how to get that to happen. Both fail to recognize it. I modified my adb_usb.ini file to add the line 0x1949 and I modified
sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf file to have the required hardware ids for the kindle (I tried the "stock" ids as well as the ids currently listed for the tablet in device manager). I added the sdk paths to my environmental variables. adb & fastboot commands work but neither finds the kindle.
Windows Vista is recognizing the kindle HD as Other Devices > Tate-PVT-08 but fails to load any drivers when it is first found (I get an error).
Any ideas?
Edit/update: I found a thread explaining how to force Windows to change the drivers. I forced it to change to the Android Sooner Composite ADB Driver and it is now listed as an ADB Interface device. still not recognized in adb though.
Another thing is that I am unable to update the drivers to use the adb kindle drivers. Windows simply reports that it "could not find driver software for your device".
Try the drivers in my SIG, they might do what yours already did though and not show up, but they should work if you update the driver to them. I am not a fan of vista, but I can think of several reason why u could be having issues offhand, like uac or driver signature enforcement, I believe driver signature enforcement was on vista, not positive though. Anyways try out my drivers and if that doesn't work maybe the command prompt isn't running with admin privis.

Your drivers were recognized and installed by Vista! Windows now sees it as an Android Phone > Android ADB Interface. Still no luck getting adb to find the kindle though. I think next I'm going to try deleting/uninstalling adb & the sdk and starting again. It isn't spelled out anywhere but I half suspect the paths are wrong somehow.
I can update to Windows 7 if there is any chance that would help.
Thanks for your help!

Your device is listed as a Tate device correct? That is not going to work with adb because that means it is in fastboot. You can't use adb commands with fastboot. Try running "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and see if it reports anything back.

Yes, if I uninstall the device and let Windows Vista find it, it is listed as a Tate device. My kindle is indeed in fastboot (I have a factory cable). If I manually force it to switch drivers I can have windows list it as a ADB interface device.
Ahh, I tried fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product and I get a response from the kindle!
So...I guess on to the next step! One of these 40 tabs I have open probably has something on flashing the rom.
Thanks all!

I know this is an old thread, but it seems to be the one most relevant to my problem.
I've got pretty much the same issue, but its because i was trying to install chainfire on my rooted kindle fire hd 7 (tate). Installation was taking longer than expected, actually thought my kindle had frozen so did a hard reset....big mistake as now it doesn't load past the kindle fire logo screen.
I bought a factory cable and the kindle is now in Fasboot mode.

Done the same, but when in fastboot, nothing.
However, every set of instructions I can find to take the next step of restoring the original firmware requires adb and/or fastboot to recognize the kindle. I cannot figure out how to get that to happen. Both fail to recognize it. I modified my adb_usb.ini file to add the line 0x1949 and I modified

This is pretty much where i'm at now, except on a windows 8 laptop, tried uninstalling everything related to my kindle, all adb, fastboot and sdk etc from my laptop before reinstalling and trying to update drivers but still not being recognised, did all the same things as above post, as been trying to sort this off and on for a while.

I've tried to install the drivers from your sig but keep getting the message "the hash for this file is not present in the specified catalog file, the file is likely corrupt or been the victim of tampering" so i'm at a bit of a stand still at the minute.

Any command i try use through fastboot just gives the <waiting for device> message with no response from my kindle. If either of you (or anyone else who reads this) can help it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Got it recognised by windows finally, I opened "device manager", clicked "update driver software", "browse my computer for driver software" then "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" where i found the right driver to enable fastboot to work and windows to recognise my tablet. Now to fix the damn thing.
Having same issue where my kindle isn't found in fastboot for some reason. When I type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
I get back Tate-PVT-08, but when i do fastboot devices I get nothing. I have Andoid ADB drivers installed and a factory cable. What is the problem?
Edit: Turns out i had to paste this in before everything -i 0x1949.
I'm glad this is a current topic again. I also need help. I've been running my rooted Kindle Fire HD 3d Gen going on two years now. I was using the firerooter to get it updated to 4.5.5 today and I'm pretty sure I bricked it--again. But this time I think I bricked it up real good.
I was doing this to hopefully get a recently updated game working again. But when it got hung up I freaked out for a second and made a mistake... I went ahead with a factory reset but then I realized that this would delete my game progress and I hadn't made a game backup before the update came on today so I was pretty much screwed in several ways.
Right, so when I was in the middle of the factory reset I was like... "****! I don't want to lose all my game progress!" and I immediately powered it down. And I immediately punched myself in the face after I turned it on and it did the lovely "kindle_fire" grey-scale initial load screen loop over and over. Based on what I've read, I'm pretty sure I've corrupted the bootloader or possibly deleted some boot partition.
I'm about sick of Amazon's bull****. They don't manager this part of their business very well at all. /RAGE
But before I throw this garbage in the dump where it belongs... I'm tempted to try to get this thing working.
I have a fastboot cable and some time. I can get to the fastboot info such as "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and it returns "product: Soho-PVT-Prod-07" . But, I can't get anything out of the adb commands to recognize the device. I've updated the .ini files from the android SDK.
Is there any boot partition I can load to this thing? Some way to hack into this? thx for any help

On the tablet's screen is displayed "Provisioning Fail" (KFHD7 2012)

I have Kindle Fire HD7 2012.When my kindle device was in good condition (soft 7.2.2), I did a Backup.I have boot0block.img, stock-boot.img, stock-recovery.img and stock-system.img. I installed the TWRP, CM10. I used CM10 half years.Then I wanted to return on stock system 7.2.2. I cleared the memory of my kindle device or formatting it(I do not remember now).
I can not start (load) the program TWRP now. After including of my kindle device(press the power button) is showing the Kindle Fire logo and then is showing the coloured inscription of "Provisioning Fail". My computer has the operating system WINDOWS XP.
At connecting of USB cable (computer-my kindle device) in Device Manager, nothing appears.I reinstalled the driver many times.
When I connect a factory cable (computer-my kindle device), "Kindle Fire Android ADB Interface" appears in the Device Manager and my kindle device is showing "Fastboot". I write in a Windows CMD:
adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
It does not show the serial number and code. When I write a command adb push stack /data/local/tmp or another command adb the window is showing "error: device not found".Then I wrote:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.7.0.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
And my kindle device is a reboots. I disconnect the factorry cable. And my kindle device constantly reboots.
I installed the program KF First Aide. At connecting of factory cable (computer-my kindle device) my kindle device is showing "Fastboot" mode.
I selected a menu №9 "Display the fastboot status" KF First Aide in program. The program window displays:

[Q] Waiting for recovery tool to "write system"

Hello everyone, a coworker of mine has a bricked Kindle HD 7 with a camera and model number X43Z60 that was stuck on the boot logo. I've been messing with it for a while getting it unbricked.
Currently, I have it in fastboot mode with a cable, and Windows 7 device manager lists the Kindle as Kindle Fire/Android Composite ADB Interface. I've been using the information from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254, and have downloaded the KFHD_SRT_v1.3.0- 7.2.3 (separate option for restoring factory recovery) files. I can run -i 0x1949 getvar product and get Tate-PVT-08 as a response.
My issue is, after I run -i 0x1949 flash system system.img and the sending 'system' returns OKAY, the command prompt just sits there for an hour with "writing 'system'..."
What is the issue? Am I using the wrong version of system.img for this Kindle? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Need help with ADB

Greetings,
Apologies if this has been asked somewhere else before, but I haven't found it anywhere after hours of searching. I've been trying to get ADB to work on my Kindle Fire HD 7 with no success. I've downloaded many drivers and the Android SDK and Android Studio as well. After installing all different drivers, when I connect the tablet to the laptop and test fastboot connection, I get the following:
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
product: Tate-PVT-08
finished. total time: 0.002s
I believe this is expected when I run this command, which I guess means the fastboot cable is working and perhaps the driver too? (not sure). However, when I run the following ADB commands this is what happens:
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
(this comes empty, no result)
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
error: device not found
error: device not found
I've tried this in two different laptops and I get the same result on both. Both laptops are running Windows 7 and my tablet is currently running version 7.5.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And thanks in advance.
