ive installed a rom and it wont boot (FC's loop), i tried to enter recovery (-vol and power when phone is off) but it keeps trying to boot, ive flashed loads of roms and entered recovery a fair few times so i dont know why i cant do it now!
Do you have the Android SDK or any other adb tool installed on your PC? If you do, try plugging the phone in to the USB port on the PC and open a command prompt.
Type this:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Not sure if that will work if the phone doesn't boot into Android though. You might have to time it just right, to find a point when the phone responds to adb commands but before it reboots.
How far does the phone get before it reboots? Do you just get the splash screen, the bootanimation, or what exactly happens?
Actually, you might have more luck with using fastboot from a command prompt:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader

okay, this is to try to simplify the install for most windows users...
for starters get over to the teamwin website and download the official rc0 which comes with firefirefire bootloader so you can easily get into recovery with our 1 power button.
after youve downloaded the recovery file, put this file in the directory that your adb and fastboot is in, connect your device and open a cmd window
cd to the directory adb and fastboot is in, for me i typed
cd c:\sdk_tools (enter)
c:\sdk_tools becomes the directory, so now
adb shell (enter)
su (enter)
idme bootmode 4002 (enter)
so now your bootmode is set. now type in:
exit (enter)
exit (enter)
adb reboot (enter)
it should reboot to the splash screen of kindle fire in fastboot mode, now type in
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img (enter)
it should install, show team wins image, then reboot to the yellow triangle of firefirefire...
this is okay. from here, on windows, my computer did NOT read the device anymore and it was stuck in fastboot and wouldn't take commands. this issue is related to the drivers for some reason... what i did was reboot my pc, reconnected my device and it came up as a unknown device. this is okay!
go to devices and right click the one with an xclimation mark and click update drivers. choose manually and then choose out of available drivers. you need to select android phone or something android related depending on what drivers you had installed previously. i chose my asus android device since thats what i had when i first got adb working. after u choose android device choose adb generic and it should install fine.
after this get back in ur cmd prompt, cd to the proper directory and type this in
fastboot devices (enter)
u should get a listed device.
from here you can then change bootmode to properly reboot ur device
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000 (enter)
fastboot reboot (enter)...
should be done! enjoy!
After the fastboot of the img file, I also had it just stick. I didn't have to reboot the PC though, I just reinstalled the device. As soon as the device was installed (I still had the cmd box open), it output:
Code:
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [ 3.053s]
booting... OKAY [ 0.013s]
finished. total time: 3.085s
and finished that process. The screen did some stuff, and then sat at a Reboot button... I finished the steps without any issues.
SUCCESS!!!
I've used the app Quick Boot a couple times now to go into Recovery Works great.

I just tell TWRP to reboot and don't touch anything... it ends up booting into the OS normally (takes a while).

Yep, if you do everything right and have FFF and TWRP installed correctly, you should be able to flip between ROMS without too much trouble, and without have to use fastboot again.
Hmm...while attempting to reinstall the drivers for the Fire, I'm at a road block.
I see the kindle in device manager, and am informed that it's not installed correctly, but while manually choosing the drivers I'm greeted with the following (attached).
This is after choosing Android Phone from the available drivers.
Any ideas, guys?
reboot ur device and reconnect to ur PC.

Ive looked all over for a solution and cant find one anywhere. right after i did adb reboot, the device hung on the kindle fire screen, ive turned it off and back on, and nothing, ive restarted the computer, but adb just wont see the device, ive even tried reinstalling the drivers, and it went from unknown device to android adb interface, but adb still doesnt recognize it. ive rooted many devices, but this kindle fire is throwing me for a loop, please help

when the device is in fastboot it is unrecognizable with adb, just enter the fastboot commands and you'll be fine.

I wish that was the case, i have tried a million different fastboot and adb commands, ive rebooted, used another os, the drivers are installed as an android composite adb interfaced, its still not registering as an adb or fastboot device.
EDIT: FORGET WHAT I SAID!!!

I still had issues installing drivers after it booted to the yellow fire triangle (on Win7 x64 - even after adding the other device id to both x86 and x64 sections of the inf and ini of the drivers). Rebooting my computer with the Kindle plugged in caused the Kindle to reboot normally after which I used a terminal to set the boot mode to 4000:
Steps I took after doing step 'fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img' (enter):
- Reboot computer with Kindle plugged in. (Causes it to reboot normally)
- Open the terminal app. (I used Terminal Emulator)
- Type 'su', press enter. (Superuser will pop-up - select allow)
- Type 'idme bootmode 4000', press enter.
After this I was able to reboot normally without getting stuck on the yellow fire triangle and boot into recovery by pressing power on the fire icon.

pic is the screen rite b4 reboot (thats what i get when i reboot into recovery)
EDIT:: now im stuck at the screen in the picture, will not boot into anything else, will not be recognized by adb. PLEASE HELP!!!!
EDIT EDIT: i can power off, and get back into fast boot with volume off, but im almost asuming i just have no recovery..... and it will NOT! boot into the phone no matter what, only booting into that screen... what the **** do i do lol this is kind of a panic now
Have you tried reflashing stock recovery? Also shouldn't you be in the AT&T One X forum unless of course you have the international version of the One X.
I have tried the stock recovery, but now its in fastboot and won't get recognized by adb on my pc as it did. It just boot loops now at that screen and won't get recognized. And this isn't at. &t

You're suppose to flash stock recovery in fastboot.
I know, I tried when it was getting recognized, now I can't even pick it up with adb
so its telling me to flash the stock RUU, but i cant use adb commands it wont recognize in fastboot, the computer dings when i plug it in, but adb devices comes up with nothing, i tried every usb port on my pc and everything

First of all ADB only works in RECOVERY mode not directly in bootloader. So do the following steps & instal custom rom (Any1 u like).
1. You need recovery.img in your fastboot directory
2. Go into bootloader and connect phone
3. Then use: "fastboot boot recovery.img" (thus booting your image from pc and not the installed recovery).
4. When in recovery, you can use the adb commands.
5. You can try with "adb devices" which should show you serial of phone.
6. command: adb push rom_rom.zip /sdcard
credits to broncogr for finding that adb works if you use fastboot boot command and to Jotha for helping me out!
I recently tried to flash back from Lego Rom to stock ZVC and have hit some trouble. I used CWM to clear the caches/data, as per usual, but after installing the ZVC rom the phone just boot loops at the Lego Rom boot screen.
Normally, I would jump into recovery, but my volume buttons no longer work (they failed after a screen replacement, I suspect the ribbon cable is damaged). What are my options? Can ADB force it into recovery for me?
I've installed the latest USB drivers, but ADB is not recognizing any devices (at the ROM booting screen or at the charging/battery graphic). Do I have any options beyond buying a new volume button ribbon cable?
I have the same issue in windows and ubuntu. Will LGNPST be able to communicate with the device?

well first of all yes you can reboot recovery using adb.
But if you installed the zvc rooted ROM then why is it booting Lego?
You can install philz or twrp for a full touch recovery and not need volume buttons. You'll still need to use cmd to do "adb reboot recovery" or adb reboot fastboot". You can also flash recovery from adb. Just get a recovery.IMG I think it's adb fastboot flash recovery.IMG or whatever the name of the recovery is.
But if ADB doesn't return any devices when I execute "ADB devices" how can I get it to send a reboot signal to the phone? When I tried "ADB reboot recovery" I was given an error about no device connected.

I must have not been thinking the whole picture. What can the phone do? What happens when you turn it on, do the volume buttons work at all? Because if you can get into recovery or fastboot at all then something can be done try multiple combinations as much as possible. I'm thinking hold the power button down and plug in USB. Wait for something to happen then let go of power. Does your computer ever recognize something is plugged in? Maybe during boot?
I've been trying to root my Kindle Fire running 6.3.3. I bought a fastboot cable and got it to boot into fastboot mode to flash TWRP and firefirefire. I ran the commands and TWRP failed but firefirefire installed. Now when the kindle boots I get the firefirefire bootloader but it cant boot into the recovery because the TWRP never installed. Also, I can't get it to fastboot anymore, not even with the cable. Can anyone please help me get TWRP installed? I've read many forums and tried about everything I found.

FFF bootloader supports fastboot commands, but the flash command is now
fastboot flash recovery file name
ie drop the -i 0x1949
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-otter.img
because the fastboot mode window is short
with kindle connected to pc, power off kindle, enter commands, then power on kindle

I've been trying this for about 30 minutes or so with no luck...I even downloaded a different version of the twrp image. Do I have to wait for the fastboot screen to start the command or do I start the process before powering on the device? I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Should be able to do it either way but I press enter, before the power button
This will not work if drivers are not correct
could try
Code:
fastboot devices
as a test should get something like
Code:
123456789 bootloader
back in command prompt
I finally got it to work and I can't thank you enough. You were right. I knew my computer recognized the device with adb in normal boot but my computer wouldn't recognize the device in fastboot mode until i reinstalled the android driver while it was in fastboot mode. Now I have a custom ROM running Google Play apps! Again, thank you!
Hey, I don't know if this will help others, but I had a hell of a time trying to get my kindle to recognize while in the bootloader/fastboot mode... It frustrated me so much that I had to write about it.
I recently switched to Windows 10, so it seems like my computer is relearning drivers and stuff...
My kindle was fine when on, and I could issue adb commands from the main screen, but when in fastboot mode, I couldn't get it detected. I knew the drivers were an issue, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I looked at Amazon's support pages, went through the SDK route, tinkered with the adb.ini and so forth... to no avail.
Post after post said that the easiest way to install the drivers was through the Kindle Fire Utility, but for some reason, the drivers in the .bat file kept failing and would not load. It took a good few hours to figure out the solution.
When I asked the Web why the drivers kept failing, I came across a post that said Windows was actually blocking unknown drivers from loading onto my system. I really wish Windows had told me that instead of just saying "Fail"...
I had to hold down the shift button and click restart on the start menu, and when the computer restarted, I when through: troubleshoot -> advanced options -> startup settings and clicked on Restart. It eventually gave me the option to disable that signature verification [F7]
My explanation is crude, because I want you to look it up properly. Just search for "disable driver signature enforcement" and you should be fine.
Hope this helps others out. I may have to revisit my own post just to see how to do this again.
I am on Wolla 5.0 and elementalx 6 something but I don't think these caused the stuck as the phone had been working fine.
Right before the phone was stuck, I updated an app called Lucky Patcher; I then restarted the phone and it's been stuck.
Under Devices manager My HTC shows this device is working properly.
M8 was detected by Adb. But when I typed commands such as "fastboot reboot bootloader" or "fastboot reboot recovery" ADB shows and stuck at "Waiting for device".
it has been like this for two hours.
Please help.

That's what you get for using Lucky Patcher I guess. Get rid of it and stop ripping developers off.
Okay........................ the problem is you are using fastboot commands while booted to system would be my guess.
Try this:
adb reboot bootloader
You can only use fastboot commands while booted into bootloader. While booted into system (into your ROM or recovery) you can only use adb commands

Hi, I already tried the adb commands (reboot, reboot recovery, reboot bootloader) along with the fastboot ones; the adb ones didn't even show "waiting for device", instead a new command line was show, i.e. as if it was not aware of the adb commands.
I let the battery ran out (nothing I could do about it anyway) and after a full charge, the phone is now working with god knows why/how. The app is also working fine and no further issues happen. I will keep an eye on it and see how it goes.
Although phone is working, I am still very curious with what exactly happened...
