Hey,
I recently bought me a Kindle Fire HD, assuming that rooting and custom roms are no problem.
But I can't even root my device. I tried to use this file but the batch just stucks.
When I try to find my device in console via "adb devices" it's not listet. But I have adb drivers installed.
Any suggestions? I'm really clueless.

so it shows up as a adb device in the device manager?
No, it doesn't. I guess thats why the batch won't work. I just dont understand why the adb driver doesn't work.

But you've ADB enabled in System Settings?
BTW - rooting ist the only thin you can do with Fire HD 7 (2013) there are no Customs in Moment.
Regards
Yeah, i read that far already. Rooting is fine for the moment to remove the amazon ads and to install play. Customs will come earlier or later
Adb is activated on my Kindle

You know that you have to use a Factory Cable? For Rooting 11.3.2.1 you've to Downgrade bootloader (the script is dealing with that automaticaly) but you have to be in fastboot mode, and fastboot mod is only possible with a factory cable (as far as I know)
BTW "adb devices" doesn't show me my device either.

I've read that "factory cable" before, I just thought that it refers to the cable that came with the kindle. Is that wrong? Where do I get a factory cable?

I built one myself. if you ask Google for a factory cable Motorola then you'll find a very good how to . I don't know where to buy.

Its better to call it a fastboot cable, I think factory cable is misleading unless you look it up.

Okay, solderd a Factory cable and now I'm able to access fastboot mode.
But the batch still stucks here:
//Edit1:
Okay, Windows reconized the Kindle as "soho pvt prod 07". Had to update driver manually in order to work.
Now im stuck here: nothing seems to happen anymore. Why?
//Edit2:
Seems to have a brick. Kindle won't boot anymore. I can still access fastboot mode but kindle wont show up in adb devices, so i cant flash the other boot img. Help?
//Edit3:
Okay, was able to flash the new image without having kindle in the adb devices list. This brings me back to Edit1: Why does the batch stop?

Power Off your Kindle, then connect your "fastboot cable" --> then your Kindle should power on autom. and show a screen like attached, if not you've problem with your cable. If it shows the screen then there is a Problem with fastboot driver.

Well, it works to this point. I have the fastboot logo on my kindle. The batch flahes the boot image. And then everything stops.
Edit:
Okay, the Problem seems to be, that after the downgrade the kindle does not show up as adb device anymore. It works fine with the new image though.
Is that a driver related problem? Do I need a different driver for the old boot image?
Edit2:
Just noticed that the Kindle never shows up under "adb devices" when in fastboot mode. It dows work when I boot the Kindle normal though.
So the batch stucks naturally an "adb wait-for-device"

How long did you wait? It'll take a few minutes. When your Kindle is powered on do you've an "adb" connection?

I waited a few minutes. I also tried to do it manually. I typed:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot old-boot-prod.img
On my kindle then appears "Start downloading", "writing boot.....done"
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 continue
I hear now the usb-disconnect and afterwards the connect sound of windows, no change on my kindle
Code:
adb wait-for-device
and then I can wait forever. Nothing happens here. Only thing I can do is ctrl+c.
Ok. I tried again with my notebook (still running WinXp) and... it worked. On the second try.
Device is rooted now, annoying ads are gone. Thank god.
Why this did not work under Win7....I have no idea.
Last quastion: How to get GooglePlay now? And i read that I can't use the Amazon store anymore, will I need it for some Apps?

In the post you downloaded your root Script you'll find a link in Signature of the Poster to his playstore Script (To Root your KFSOWI and install working Google Play Click Here)
And yes if playstore ist installed Amazon Downloads are not possible anymore, but you can save all files named “DownloadProvider***.apk/odex“ out of /system/apps before using Playstore Script. You'll find such files also in playstore Script. Than you can always change files. Take the files out of org. Firmware to Download from Amazon and reverse to Download Form google.

Congrats on rooting your Soho! I'm having similar problems that you did initially. The device is recognized in adb. I bought a fastboot cable. The devices comes up in fastboot mode using the fastboot cable but is not recognized in Windows and so 'fastboot devices' comes up empty. You said you fixed that by updating the drivers manually. Can you share exactly what you did please? This has been driving me nuts for over a week. Thanks!

fastboot devices never promted anything for me, either.
I had to go to the Device Manage in Windows, look for the Kindle and manually update the driver to the "android_winusb.inf"
Hi,
I was on 5.0, running stock recovery and rooted. Today, installed TWRP for 5.0 on my device. I tried to flash the droid command center widget on my phone usng twrp, and it failed. I also hit the fix permissions option. After that the phone does not boot up, simply flashes the unlocked bootloader sign and shows the moto boot animation for a second or two before shutting down.
I can boot into recovery, and the computer detects the phone. But adb doesn't detect the device. I have the 1092 5.0 OTA on my computer and saved it on the phone in an attempt to flash it thru TWRP, but that failed with the message shown in the img attached. I also tried flashing stock 4.4.4, but that gave an error "Updating partition details" failed.
Can someone help me get back into my phone? :crying: ADB doesn't seem to be detecting my phone, else I'd have tried to install a rom via fastboot.
I have multi-tool v4.1 installed, would I be able to flash a rom (stock unrooted and full wipe is perfectly fine too) via that considering adb does not detect my phone, but the computer does?
Well, that looks annoying.
I've found myself in similar situations when I've accidentally flashed something I shouldn't have. The good news is that if you can boot to recovery you can also probably boot to the bootloader and use fastboot.
Have you tried wiping everything and going back to stock? It's time consuming but at least you'll end up with a working phone.
I had to do this when I put the wrong recovery on a phone and it mangled partitions. Device wouldn't boot.
There are instructions for the moto x here

Because fastboot mode can start on your device even before Android loads (and can even run when Android isn't installed at all), fastboot mode is useful for updating the firmware quickly, without having to use a recovery mode.
Adb relies on android booting and usb debugging being enabled and the computer being authorized for debugging (L feature). Fastboot does not. Try booting into the bootloader and then run "fastboot devices" . Mine shows up. I suspect yours will too. If it doesn't then I'm out of my depth here.

Ah yes. For some reason, my fastboot file had gotten deleted from the folder and so the command didn't run. Everything went smooth once I noticed that. Had to downgrade to 4.4.4., but w/e. Thanks @oldcynic
Alright I am looking for some help here. I was attempting to unroot to update my Nexus 6 to Android M. Not sure how this happened but here it goes. I can boot the phone into recovery TWRP and into boot loader but the OEM is locked....In recovery I have no backups or ROMs o flash and my mac is not connecting with the Nexus 6. It seems like there is no ROM on the phone at all and I cant use Terminal commands I keep getting Failures. I have run the 1 click root and unroots for mac and still nothing. I also have no access to Developer options since I cant load into a ROM...So I cant select allow OEM unlock... Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this. Thanks for your help everyone!
Try to uninstall all drivers then re install to see if mac recognizes your phone then sideload a rom to recovery or adb
Had this before. I believe when connecting to your computer, you have to delete every nexus 6 previous connections so it would be as if your phone never connected to your computer before. Then after you do that, it should install drivers and recognize your phone. I'm not sure if I remember correctly but I believe its from your toolbar on your computer where it normally pops up "eject USB " warnings. Sorry if I couldn't help
Delete all drivers relating to Android. Download and install the Android SDK Tools from Google. Update the SDK and install the Google USB driver. Boot into TWRP, connect the N6, then use adb push rom.zip /sdcard.
I think that should work.
or fastboot wipe user data and cache.

I have been working on this since last night 7pm... I tried adb push and it just sits there and says starting adb sideload for about 10 min then vibrates with a cancellation. I tried removing Android File Transfer and reinstalling it and I still get the can not find device error. Im thinking this might be a loosing battle.

I did both of these to get past the TWRP boot loop. I can get into TWRP but its empty like everything has been wiped I have no backups or ROMs to flash to. Since the OEM is locked and I cant launch into a ROM to select allow OEM unlock it seems like im going to inevitably lose this battle. Last resort I have a friend coming over with Windows (hoping) WUGfresh can solve the issues....

All due respect to the developer, but all WUg's NRT does is automate the downloading and the commands you use to flash manually. It doesn't do anything "special"

Thanks for all the responses guys! We spend another 4 hours on this Sunday and finally got it! We ended up using this forum step by step. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/info-nexus-6-nexus-9-enable-oem-unlock-t3113539
While my friend was installing all of the ADB drivers on his PC I attempted the steps on my mac. It made it through the first to lines of code but when rebooting into Boot loader it came back with a fail notice to unlock the OEM.
When he got all drivers installed we used the same lines of code (modifying C: for the location he had the ADB drivers) and it accepted all codes. Seeing that screen change into the OEM unlock select yes screen was a GREAT moment lol. After that we used NRT to flash Marshmallow...
All in all it was fun trying to figure this out! Not so much fun thinking I had to drop another $300 to get a new phone! Again thanks everyone for the help!

Hey everybody!
This is my first time posting something on XDA. This is really cool.
So I just bricked my fire, hard. Let's start from the top:
- I used the super tools rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Amazon%20Fire%205th%20gen&folder=SuperTool to get the google play store.
- Using the google play store, I got flashfire.
- Using flashfire, I flashed SlimLP onto my tablet successfully and quickly.
- I got a little cocky, and based on the comments on the youtube.com/watch?v=NaCBSuUuhRE video that I used to flash SlimLP I decided to try the flashfire technique with CM since it is my favorite ROM.
- I did everything properly and the same, but... it got stuck here... for about an hour...
imgur.com/QJvmRz3
So I decided to do the smartest thing ever and cancel it myself by turning it off, I wasn't able to do anything else anyway. Either way, my tablet is now stuck in the cyanogen 12 boot load animation, the one of the cute blue head with the radar effect.
I would of fixed this a long time ago, but for some reason I'm not able to adb sideload.
I go into fastboot, I can detect the device, but not adb sideload.
I go into adb sideload mode, I can't detect the device, so definitely not sideload. :/
I've tried updating my drivers, I don't know if I'm doing it right, but while it was in fastboot mode, I changed it to Android Composite ADB Interface, and that didn't change anything.
No matter what I'm doing, whenever I do adb devices, I always get:
List of devices attached
Blank. Nothing. Only when I'm in fastboot mode do I get:
fastboot devices
G0K0H40454261ARU fastboot
Something, but still no ADB. I can't even load TWRP here, tried that, I just install it and it just sits there dumbly saying it's installed.
I'm bricked just like my tablet. Could I please get some help here? I'm very desperate to get this tablet back up and running, and I feel so stupid for not having stuck with Slim and trying to install CM. I really don't want it to stay bricked like this.
Thank you, XDA!
Do you know if you had amazon FireOS version 5.0.1 or 5.1.1?
Just to be clear, you have actually selected the adb sideload option on your Fire when you try to connect with adb on you pc, correct? ADB is not even active until the adb sideload option has been selected.

We can not "install" twrp. The bootloader is locked & won't allow it. We can only temporarily load twrp into memory. Each time we want to use twrp, we must connect usb to a pc, enter fastboot mode & load twrp. But this can only been done on 5.0.1 Fires. It's been blocked on 5.1.1. No way to load twrp at all on 5.1.1.

There is an option in fastboot to flash firmware, I haven't seen anyone try that yet..

Do you have any ideas on how to do this? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
Since I haven't read anyone try it before, there would be some risk. I suppose you are already bricked, seemingly without a way to fix it, but you could brick it harder. You might be able to get adb working. I may not have any ideas on how to get adb working for you, but someone else might know. If you try flashing the stock OS via fastboot, there is a chance you could brick it in a different way.
The command would be
Code:
fastboot update <filename-of-stock-firmware.zip>
But we don't have a .zip stock firmware file. In twrp recovery you can just rename the .bin file to .zip & it works. Not sure if that will also work for fastboot. My guess is it won't work & might brick you.
Also be aware, on Fires that self-updated to FireOS 5.1.1 (or came with 5.1.1 new) you must only flash 5.1.1. Attempting to flash 5.0.1 will brick it 100% of the time & it's unrecoverable.

I did the same thing. Slim worked great, tried to flashfire CM12, ot bricked. Can get fastboot, but nothing else. Afraid to try update from fastboot.
I just want to say thanks to everybody who contributed, I'm really appreciative of the support, especially because I didn't expect it, haha! Listening to blueberry.sky I'm going to try the flashboot update, because it's either that or a bricked device. School just started so I got busy with that.

So when I have it in adb mode, the fire doesn't seem to show up anywhere in any of my devices, and I can only find it when it's in fastboot mode. So when it's in that mode, I've tried Android ADB Interface, Android ADB Composite Interface, and when I go back to adb sideload, it's just not there in device manager. I don't know what this means, so any speculation? But no matter what mode I'm in or what driver I'm using, I can't seem to get it to show up in adb when in sideload mode.

C:\path\to\SuperTool>fastboot update update-kindle-global-37.5.4.1_user_541112720.zip
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I didn't rename the Slim and this is what I get:
C:\path\to\SuperTool>fastboot update Slim-ford-5.1.1.build.2.2b-20151210.zip
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
Is there anyway I can resolve this, so I can do SOMETHING?
Thank you!

To be clear, you were able to, "adb sideload update-kindle-global-37.5.4.1_user_541112720.bin". To restore your Fire OS 5.1.1?

No, I did fastboot update in fastboot mode as suggested by blueberry.sky since ADB isn't working for reasons I stated before.

So when you say you go into "adb sideload mode. You selected "apply update from adb", and the Fire device is actively waiting for the sideload command, but you got nothing showing up in your device manager at that point?
I'm just clarifying because until the "apply update from adb" is activated, windows doesn't get a communication from the Fire device.

On my device, I can get fastboot, but not adb. if I reboot from fastboot, I only get the
CM logo and it sticks there permanently until I power off. When I boot to fastboot, the screen is blank but my Windows PC can see the device and return the SN. I can issue the command to reboot to bootloader, but reboots to fastboot with "fastboot" in small letters at the bottom of the screen. What else can I try? Thanks for all the help offered so far.
What happens when you try to get into recovery mode?
To get into recovery you start with the Fire off. Turn off by holding power button until it goes off (might take awhile). I just tried turning off from fastboot mode. Took only about 14 seconds of holding power.
To enter recovery: hold volume down button + hold power button.

When I try to get into recovery, it boots with a blank screen. At that point, I can connect to my PC, type fastboot devices, and it will show me device. Then I try to reboot-bootloader, and it reboots to fastboot, but this time it says fastboot on the screen. I can't seem to get to recovery
watch this video to see if it helps.

Hi guys, I got a new XT1900-7 today, tried to install TWRP but I'm not able to boot it with "fastboot boot boot.img".. Yes the bootloader is unlocked, cmd is running as admin, adb and fastboot stuff is correctly installed, motorola drivers are installed, tried different cables and ports... I don't get it why it does not work and I'm absolutely NOT new to this business... Additional info: Running OPWS27.2.4, patch level August 1, 2018.
See the cmd screenshot below, it freezes there... Any help is much appreciated, absolutely don't know what is going wrong here!

What's the file size of your boot.img? It should only be about 30 mb. It's not frozen it's still attempting to transfer the img to your device.

Thanks for your reply, the file sizes are correct, I tried these from twrp download page: twrp-3.2.3-1-payton.img (29.5M) and twrp-3.2.3-0-payton.img (25.9M) - same result.

I have a laptop that doesn't work with fastboot, but adb is fine. Same cable and phone on a different computer and fastboot works. Maybe try a different computer?

Will give this a try tomorrow, thanks a lot!
Edit: Still no luck. Tried it with linux mint and even there the same sh!t... wtf
Ensure Motorola drivers are up to date and even try a different USB port.
With Windows, does it see the phone in device manager while in fastboot?

Latest drivers from Motorola Device Manager are installed and phone is properly recognized in device manager (used usb 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 ports, nothing changes, same behavior). I tried it now with mfastboot but still nope..
Are you using minimal or full sdk (by Google) platform tools?

Minimal, I have also a Moto G5 and I don't face this kind of problems - only with Payton.
I recommend switching to full sdk. You don't have actually download all the packages, just the platform tools and it keeps itself updated. I stop encountering these random issues when I switched from minimal two phones ago. Issues like yours are; 9 out of 10, driver issues.

The very next thing to try, would be reflash everything.
Good luck.

Unfortunately still no progress with full sdk and latest platform-tools, I'm giving up (for now).. I don't get it man, I'm not able to do anything in bootloader... for example when I try "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" it freezes at sending OR it throws instant failed, the bootloader log menu shows that something is downloading but nothing happens... I relocked the bootloader (locking and unlocking is no problem) again and I am going to use it for a while... otherwise I will do a mistake somewhere and will brick it... Thanks for taking the time to help me haha
I'm having this same exact issue, just got this phone (XT1900-1) for my wife and she wants a custom rom, my own phone booted into twrp no problem.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348
Maybe try the fastboot in that link. I read through the thread and no specific reason why they suggest that version but it allowed people to flash back to stock. I used it last week to go back to stock before Lineage.
No effect still stuck on "downloading 'boot.img'..." but thank you, should I try flashing TWRP without booting? Would that even work?
or maybe an alternative way to get TWRP like a rooting method or the such?
Edit: Im going to try a factory reset, who knows maybe itll work?
^Nope
Edit 2: ERRR ota update is also failing to install, all I did was unlock the bootloader, havnt been able to do anything else.. wtf is going on.. What should I do from here, lock the bootloader and try ota again?
Edit 3: Something strange is going on, the fastboot commands are failing randomly I just noticed, see the attached image... Im spamming the same exact command once every second and it intermittently works.
Sorry, beyond my expertise. Maybe it's USB c port on the phone issue? Intermittently dropping the connection? Or have to tried flashing the 8.1 sick from the thread I posted? Maybe the factory ROM is messed up some how. I honestly don't know and those suggestions aren't based in any real knowledge.
Code:
fastboot version 1:7.0.0+r33-2
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.40
Version 4986621
In linux mint do you have the same versions of the tools as above?

Had exactly the same behavior like you (especially Edit 3), I tried it on a different computer from 2013 with usb 2.0 ports and it worked..
No other cable, no usb port, no adb and fastboot changes and no other drivers - just put all the stuff on a other computer and run the commands from there :good:

Yeah, I'm on 1:7.0.0+r33-2 too.. I guess it has something to do with my mainboard or usb controller, weird weird weird
A different pc solved the issue.. wtf.. thank you..
I have the exact same issue, random commands are failing. I tried 2 different computers, Linux and Windows. It just hangs at downloading boot.img. Flashing either immediately fails or hangs and I can't ctrl-c to kill the process, have to disconnect my phone.

Yeah I wish we knew the exact problem and solution but you might just be stuck trying new computers for eternity sadly..
