Ok I can use commands VIA fastboot when the phone is on. The problem is using commands when the phone is in bootloader. It says "fastboot usb" But when i am trying to use commands like :adb reboot" i get a " device not found " error
The device is Eng s off and ship s off
Tryed this with 3 computers with no luck
I have all the needed drivers.
And using commands in bootloader worked before.
you cannot use adb commads while in fastboot, not will your device show up with the "adb devices" command, you can only issue fastboot commands. so to reboot you must use the command "fastboot reboot" and to show your device you can use the command "fastboot devices"

are you using leedroid's rom? i had the same problem, when i used his rom, some of the permissions in /system/bin/ are wrong on his rom, they are rwsr-xr-x and they should be set to rwxr-xr-x, try using adb

I was using Leedroid, i f**** up and installed multiple .zip at once.... first "leedroidRom.zip" and then "theme" without rebooting between.
After that it stopped working ( I think )
I then wiped everything and installed Android Revolution 2.0.12..
"Terminal"
# Reboot
not permited!
About the question i asked earlier. So its not possible to use adb commands trough fastboot. only fastboot commands.
so i have to use : "fastboot flash" and "fastboot push" to execute commands ?
you cannot use the push command while in fastboot for the same reason you cannot use ADB commands, because at that moment android is not booted, you can use adb commands from recovery though
here are the fastboot commands i know of:
fastboot devices - fastboot devices will give you a list of devices connected to the computer. This is also a good way to make sure that your phone is actually connected to the computer.
fastboot reboot - this will reboot your phone normally
fastboot oem unlock - Dont think this works with the DHD
fastboot erase XXX - Will erase the partition XXX (such as userdata, cache) - mainly used for resetting phone and clearing userdata / factory settings.
fastboot flash XXX YYY - This will flash XXX partitionn with YYY image
Hey guys, I'm a new member to XDA but I've been browsing on it for a while. I figured you guys could help. I rooted my Kindle Fire a couple months ago and had Clockwork Recovery(TWRP is better). I decided I didn't want it rooted so I restored the Kindle thinking it would remove the root, it actually bricked it. Now all that comes up is the Kindle Fire boot screen with the android bot over top of it, it doesn't glimmer or flash, that's all. It isn't recognized by ADB or Windows(and Device Manager). I haven't found a thread exactly like mine so I figured I'd post one. Please help guys, I miss Minecraft PE and Netflix!
Assuming you know how to access recovery...
Download the latest version of FireFireFire and either "adb push" it to your sdcard or use the mount function in recovery and transfer it.
FireFireFire 1.4 can be found here. It comes in a .zip file for flashing in recovery. DO NOT install the .zip file with the "fastboot flash bootloader" command or you will brick your device.
When installed reboot and use your power button at the kindle fire screen as if you were trying to enter recovery. At some point some options will show up on the bottom. Use the power button to select "Normal Boot".
@soupmagnet
what do you mean by ADB Push? Recovery as in turning the kindle on and then holding the power button again until it turns orange?

Actually, it would be easier to explain how to mount your sdcard.

Yes. While in recovery, there will be a mount to USB function that will mount the sdcard partition to your computer as if it were an external drive, such as a USB thumb drive.
Good thing I know that, however, I can't access recovery..
I think I might've reformatted the system folder while in recovery..

Recovery is in a separate partition from the system files and cannot be formatted while in recovery. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able access recovery so you'll probably need to reinstall it.
How comfortable are you with using command prompt?
A little experienced, how hard can entering commands be?

OMG Don't EVER say that.
Do you have adb and fastboot on your computer? If yes...Is it from AndroidSDK or KFU?
Hahahahha my mistake.
I do have ADB but I don't think I have fastboot(I probably do).
I do have fastboot.

Okay, make sure the you have TWRP version 2.1 and place it in the same folder as fastboot. It would be wise to rename it to something manageable like "twrp.img"
In your command prompt, enter:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Note: version 2.0 will not work with this command
And while you're at it:
fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot
[Edit:] That will likely fix your problem (barring driver issues) but you should still install FFF1.4
I just tried a different cable and the computer recognizes my kindle in device manager as Android ADB Interface... the twrp 2.1 cmd thing you told me to do was a no go but I assume we have more options now now that device manager recognizes it?
(EDIT)
It is now recognized on device manager as "Unknown Device" and no longer as Android ADB Interface..
1. What happens when you enter:
Code:
fastboot devices
2. What error message, if any, did you receive when entering the "twrp 2.1 cmd thing"?
"fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
That happened for both instances.

Do you have fastboot and what folder is it in?
Yeah its an .exe file i believe... under the "Files and Tools" folder when I downloaded ADB from Android SDK.
Better yet...fastboot and adb are programs with a certain set of commands associated with them. Those commands only work with each individual program. In order to issue a certain command that isn't associated with "shell" or "DOS" you have to include an "identifier" so the computer knows from which program to run the commands. In this case it is "fastboot" because you are using the fastboot program. In order issue commands this way, the program you are using must either be listed in your "PATH" or be in the directory from which you are issuing the commands.
The easiest way to do this in Windows is to shift+right click on the folder containing the program and select "Run in Command". The command window that opens is were you will be entering your commands.
error: cannot load "twrp.img"
I typed "fastboot devices!" (out of frustration I must admit).
This is what came up:
C:\Users\Nick\Documents\KindleRoot\tools>fastboot devices!
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline
-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id
-b <base_addr> specify a custom kernel base address
-n <page size> specify the nand page size. default:
2048
Turn your device off then enter the command. When it says "waiting for device" turn it back on.
Fastboot commands only work in fastboot mode. If you have a modified bootloader installed, the first few seconds of the boot process is a temporary fastboot mode which will accept fastboot commands.
If it just hangs at "waiting for device", you need to fix your drivers.

what command am I entering?
Been an incredibly bad week for me as far as technology is concerned. Everything around me seems to be breaking apart form my new One X. That is of course.. until now..
I'm trying to flash TripNDroid's CM10 Rom to my phone by following my self written instructions that have worked like a charm for me so far.
Enter Fastboot on phone. Open the command line window in the relevant place in windows and check it's connected using 'fastboot devices' command. Then:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Enter recovery and flash the ROM.
However, I'm getting mixed responses in the command line. Very occasionally I will type a command in and it will accept it. and say 'Done' but 90% of the time it will say 'FAILED (remote: 0000004)' or occasionally 'remote: not allowed'
I have checked that the usb is connected (it is the original cable) and used the fastboot devices command to confirm this. I have tried rebooting the bootloader and redownloading fastboot and the files to be flashed. Completely stuck D:
My kindle fire is bricked. I'm not sure it can be undone, as fastboot can't seem to change the bootmode.
Where I'm at (short version):
Mac os x 10.6.8
Kindle stuck on the amazon stock "Kindle fire" logo.
Kindle connected with factory cable.
Log:
> fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
product: kindle
finished. total time: 0.000s
> fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
...
^C
How I go here:
I tried the KFU on a Windows VM running on Mac osx 10.6.8. Yes, that was dumb.
I went for the quick and dirty solution, it did not end well.
I've read the kindle beginners guide. Excellant resource. Switched to the Mac terminal interface.
My Knowledge:
I'm a knowledgeable unix user, android newbie. Meaning I know just enough to get myself in trouble.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. About the only other thing I can think to try is a linux interface instead of MAC.
Thanks,
Ann
The command you posted was successful. Did you reboot the device?

Yes I tried issuing the reboot command to the same result. Neither command returns to the command prompt, a ^C is required.
(apologies if this post appears twice.)

i think u dont have a recovery software and a rom flashed on ur kindle fire..first flash twrp.img(u can have it downloaded for u by KFU) from terminal..dont forget to open terminal in the location of twrp.img..then
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot oem idme bootmode 5001
fastboot reboot
this should install twrp on ur KF
then mount it as usb mass storage through twrp and format it on ur mac or pc or whatever..sdcard partition needs to be formatted
then u can transfer .zip(ROM) file to it and flash it from twrp
after all this again revert bootmode to 4000 and u shud have ur kf running ur rom..
feel free to thank helpers!!!

That shouldn't matter. Even without recovery or a ROM installed, the device will still boot to a blank screen.
Sometimes after changing bootmodes in fastboot, the reboot command doesn't work. Just hold the power button until it shuts off and start it again.

I have tried that as well.
I was using fastboot normally on my op3 but now no matter what I try for any fastboot command like flash anything it's giving unknown command error even though in fastboot devices it's showing my device... Anyone have solution for it?
Does any one have any solution
What command are you talking about?
