boot loop after flashing latest manhatten project rom

Ok have been running foxhound 1.1,tried a couple of other roms,kernels,etc and no problem. But now all of a sudden tried to flash manhatten and endless boot loop. I have tried to wipe from cwm several times but no luck. I dont want to lose my pictures from virtual sdcard. I have no access to adb but cwm and fastboot of course. I'm using linux so is there any way to use fastboot to erase everything but keep virtual sdcard. If that can you point me to instructions on how to from fastboot. I have the GSM version

Did you even bother installing another ROM prior to freaking out?
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Format System
install ROM from sd card (please don't tell me you only kept one ROM on there)
your phone should now boot

I have wiped several times reflashed foxhound 1.1 even reinstalled cwm recovery touch version but no go. Not sure what happened but why would going back to stock fix it??? I dont want to lose my pictures but if that is the only way. What the hell is causing the boot loop????

You keep saying that you wiped but you're being vague.
Can you specify if you have WIPED DATA, CACHE, DALVIK, FORMATTED SYSTEM, and FORMATTED CAHCHE? If you have not, do that and THEN re-flash Foxhound
This does NOT wipe your internal SD card.

9 out of 10 times its human error when bootloop shows up..... go to the thread of the rom you flashing maybe you missed a important step

I have formatted everything but davik cache but when I do that I get" E:unknown volume for path /sd-ext Dalvik Cache Wiped " then reflash foxhound and now I am back to the boot loop all I get is Google with unlock symbol at the bottom and it just loops. There has to be a way to get info off my virtual sdcard..I dont care how hard it is

I didn't use the gapps but the rom should still boot without that gapp version. Also shouldn't I be able to flash another rom without having this issue??? All I did was flash from clockworkmod. maybe the zip file I downloaded got corrupted but I am unable to fix the problem. I had installed the manhatten rom yesterday but went back to foxhound because lack of performance/undervolting settings that apperently are on the rom. just want it to work again..I'm unable to use adb becasue it wont boot. all I have is fastboot and cwm recovery

That error is normal as we don't have an "sd-ext" .
Are you wiping in the correct order? You're wiping all of that first, and then installing ROM correct?
Do you have a back up?

If you have ADB installed, or can get to a computer with it.
You can pull your files from the SD card as our fake SD card is actually /DATA/MEDIA

how do I get adb to work if the phone will not boot into android???in fastboot mode if I type adb devices it lists nothing?? if I try adb in cwm recovery I get a bunch of questionmarks followed by no permissions....this is in linux. I can use windows if the toolkit can use adb while in clockworkmod recovery. I'll need detailed instructions becasue I have wiped in every order imaginable and nothing but boot loop???

"adb devices" will return nothing in fastboot.
The correct command is "fastboot devices"

You can use ADB in CWM Recovery. I do it all the time in Windows.

yes I know and I have no problem using what little I know of fastboot commands but is there a way to use fastboot to copy my virtual sdcard to my pc?????

Be sure to "mount data" in Recovery
adb shell
type su for superuser.
then ls to list the dirs
and cd to change
You might have to pull files one by one. I'm not sure if there's a way to pull the entire contents of it.

so how do I mount or do I just use the toolkit because it seems to tell me in bright green letters that I must be in android to use adb?? I guess that is a limitation of the toolkit. I'll try installing the android sdk to windows and see how that works. I will let you know how it goes thank you. Also do you have a link on how to restore it to a stock rom but not have to go through the whole rooting and unlocking process??? Thank you again for your help so far!!

Actually, do this.
Once you have the drivers installed for Windows, and your phone is being recognized "adb devices"
Run
adb pull /data/media/DCIM C:Urname\example\blah
Replace the C:Urname\example\blah with an actual directory of the Windows PC
It might take some time but that should drag your pictures and stuff.

Here's the link with instructions to return to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806

Hit, Install SDK on the toolkit. It will do it very quick and easy for you.
Since the SD Card on our Nexus is actually /data/media, like I said earlier, just mount data.

Gnex toolkit is a great tool. I'm wondering why I have permission issues with adb in cwm recovery in Linux. not complaining but I wish there was a kit like that for us linux users

any body know why in cwm recovery if run ./adb device in linux you get
devices listed
?????????? no permissions
any linux users out there? I'm saving my files thanks to a windows program gnex tookkit by mskip.
Special thanks to Samsuck for all his help and the rest of the forum

[Q] Bricked KF, no ROM, possibly corrupt /sdcard

I've done so much research on this and tried so many things and now I'm so confused on what to do.
I'm trying to bring this KF back from the dead. It was stuck in a bootloop, no computer would recognize it. So I soldered a factory cable..that made my computer actually see the KF.
After that I used the KFU to install TWRP and FFF. It's currently in fastboot mode. I have managed to get it into ADB a few times. Everytime I do that I get an "ACK" error.
I'm attaching a screenshot of an older verson of KFU and of my device manager as well as my .ini file. I added a line in my .ini file which you will see.
I have tried using most of the fastboot commands to reboot it into "normal" mode but it doesn't seem like it does anything.
Currently it's on the Kindle Fire boot screen (it's white & blue) and says v1.4a in the upper right corner. I've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers many times. Maybe I'm doing something wrong there.
I also tried the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility with no luck. At this point I can't get into TWRP. I tried to mount the SD card in there last night so I could copy update.zip over but it threw an error. Something like E: /sdcard could not mount.
I have also had Clockwork recovery installed and I tried to mount the sd card in there. Similar error. Am I wrong in believing if TWRP was working I should be able to ADB in from there?
I feel like I've done a lot of research and tried very hard before making a thread..so any ideas at this point are very welcome!
Edit: It actually does boot into clockwork recovery at this point. The exact error is: E:Can't mount /sdcard

To mount your sdcard:
Boot into recovery and enter...
Code:
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file[CODE]
And if you have to, format your sdcard FAT32 block size 4096
Obviously, by formatting your sdcard, you will lose all the data that's on it.

I need to keep rebooting/messing around until it's in ADB mode to do that correct? Or will it work in fastboot mode?

You can't use adb in fastboot.

I still can't get it in ADB mode again.. I tried ubuntu as well with no success..should I be using the factory boot cable at this point? Or should I just keep telling it to boot into "normal" (adb) mode and hope it does that one of these times? I wish I could just get the drive to show up in windows..
edit: I guess I had misunderstood before. I selected recovery mode in KFU (option 3) and then ran the stuff you told me to. this was the result: error: device not found and: the system cannot find the path specified

The factory cable probably won't do you much good.
In Ubuntu, did you install drivers and set up udev rules for adb? And are you using 32 or 64 bit?

Sorry I didn't post that earlier, I'm using windows vista- 32 bit. In ubuntu I simply used firekit. No other configuration was done. I did the jumper trick & it claimed it re-wrote the file system but it appears it didn't touch it. It did install an older version of TWRP & FFF.
I'm not completely convinced it has ever made it into ADB, everytime KFU claims it's online my internet connection is completely lost & that's where I get the ACK error.
I guess one thing I'm very unclear about- is it possible adb was completely removed? It certainly seems like it. It should load adb from the FFF screen, correct?
Just an FYI I got the kindle like this so please don't think I'm a complete moron!

Is your Ubuntu on a LiveUSB or full install? If it is a LiveUSB did you set it up with any persistence?

It is a live cd, and no- I didn't set it up with any persistence. I wouldn't be opposed to installing ubuntu if needed. I also have access to Osx (hackintosh) on the same machine, it's dual booting windows/osx.
Thanks for all your help.

do you have an 8 gig usb drive?

If you have OSX, there should be no need for LiveUSB.

Format SD card
I Bricked, looped, KF. Resisted far too long just formatting the SD card and starting over. At some point that is likely your only option. Rebuilding your KF , rooting , and ROMing. Partial fixes cxan be frustrating as well.

Sadly I can't get the sdcard formatted..

Wont mount? Your the second one this week. I have done both methods factory/data reset including sdcard contents and factory/ data reset wiped sd as well in twrp the only worked fine for me only thing is my sdcard is now known as removable storage on my computer. Theres got to be a way to get that card mounted to the system or unmounted and mounted to the pc for formating

I wish I could just see the file system from my computer..nothing, and TWRP errors out.

yeah I have been working with someone else on a the same issue with no avail
---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------
Im wondering if the battery wasnt unplugged and replugged if it would force it to mount either way shutting down the system maybe windows would be able to grasp it for formatting my only fear with that is it might hand you the system partition instead

Interesting idea.. I just tried that, windows detected it- now it's showing an unknown device and it's sitting at the FFF bootloader.
edit: just tried it again, it went straight into fastboot.

I can't use my kindle fire. I need help.

Last week I bought a kindle fire rooted android 4.0.3 But my little brother deleted its system. Now when i push the power buttom a menu called TWRP always shows up. I checked, there is no restore in it. When i plug it to my computer, i think it recognise it but there no storage usb icon in my computer folder. So i cannot put the android in it. Guys please help me to make my computer recognise it.

In TWRP, select Mount > mount sdcard > mount to USB
That will mount your sdcard partition as an external drive so you can transfer files. If it doesn't mount, the solution can get a little more complicated.

[Q] Recovery works but can't restore or mount KF? Need to unroot.

I just fixed my one KF and now my other one is in trouble. When it powers up it just bootloops into Kindle Fire splash screen(blue & grey letters) then just keeps restarting. If I hold the power button in it gives me 3 options; normal boot, recovery, reset bootmode. If I click normal boot or reset bootmode they do nothing except return me to the Kindle Fire screen. I can get into recovery(twrp) but I cant restore any of my backups. I can't seem to mount the KF through recovery either. Also, every time the Kindle Fire restarts I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" error that pops up on my PC. I just want to unroot and get back to stock on this one.

Anyone? Been at this for a while now, no luck.

So, you have no ROMs/gapps on your KF that you can reflash when in recovery? Seems like the simplest solution for your situation to at least get out of the loop.

I`m looking closely at these two lines:
e:unable to unmount /system
e:unable to unmount /data
Go to mount in twrp make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data if so uncheck them and try again. Once you have a bootable system your driver should resolve itself.

[Q] A real brick? Can not mount system

Hello all -
I have been toying with this gen 1 (maybe 2... not sure) off and on for about half a year now.
The device used to work great and was running stock OS. One day it just gave up the ghost. My daughter was using it and it would not start up into the OS. When starting the device, it would load the yellow Kindle Fire screen and just hang indefinitely.
Using a factory USB cable, I was able to use KFU and get TWRP loaded.
Within TWRP I can see the SD card (contains ".android" and "TWRP" folders) and even load files from the PC to the SD card.
When I go up levels, I can see what I think to be the OS directories, but none of them seem to contain any files.
One of the folders is named 'system' so I have a good feeling this is the OS.
However, I am not able to mount the system nor the data partitions within TWRP.
On my PC I can explore the device and I can see the SDcard perfectly fine, but no system or data.
What I would like to do is just reload the stock OS back on.
I have loaded the latest Amazon update to the SD card and tried to install it.
Near instantly, the TWRP screen says that it can't find directories and it fails/stops.
I have tried every button in TWRP for fixing permissions, wiped system, cache, etc. (everything cleared), resetting everything etc etc.
To no avail, I still can't get the system to mount.
I do encounter an error when fixing permissions as it fails every time. It says it can't fix permissions and wants me to try again after booting a ROM. (whatever that means?).
.
I have also tried using adb shell to force the device to reboot into fastload and then load the OS update.
I was able to get the latest TWRP loaded this way, but could not get the OS to go.... again, it can't find the directories.
Currently, when I start up the device I get a blue logo screen and can get into TWRP. If I go to boot normally, it continues to the stock yellow logo, dims, and freezes.

Also I dont think mounting system and data to pc from recovery actually works. Just drop a Rom on to your sdcard do a full wipe and flash it. Before you reboot select mount you dont have to be connected to pc make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data if so uncheck them then select reboot system.

I give this a try. I wasn't able to do the first part with resetting the partition tables so wend to where it gets set it into recovery mode and moved on.
Everything worked from adb shell.
I went back to the KF, mounted the SD card.
Downloaded a new update for the KF from Amazon and renamed it from bin to zip.
Copied it to the KF SDcard. Verified the KF was in bootmode 5000 and tried to install.
No dice - errors.
I tried downloading the update through KFU. Pushing that update through ADB to the SDcard. TWRP factory reset and tried install.
No dice - errors.
Skips MD5 check.and then rattles this out:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "blaze" | |
E:unknown command [err_string]
getprop("ro.product.device") == "blaze" | |

If it's a kindle fire 2, it maybe bricked.

Your error is due to the fact that your trying to flash blaze with an otter recovery it's totally normal new recoveries don't like old updater scripts.
The updater script in sd_shadow 's zip is modified to avoid that error. When flashing stock use cannibal open touch recovery it will not give you this error just make sure you wipe cache, dalvik, data and system prior to flashing update.zip. It's not a good idea anyway wipes your recovery and bootloader anyway, I would choose to keep those intact.

So I've tried this 3 times now with no luck.
The first time I tried, I got through the TWRP text saying it was doing some stuff, doing more stuff, thanks to 2 people.
Then it went to the Teamwin screen and every few seconds that screen would blink. Eventually the screen went to sleep and pressed the power button once and the teamwin screen was still there.... so I left it alone for about 5 minutes.
After waiting, I held down the power button and restarted the KF.
Round 2.
Wiped everything and sent over a new copy of the ROM.
This time it got to the teamwin screen and after about 30 seconds of blinking, it went black - completely off. Seconds later the blinking teamwin screen came back in all of it's glory. After more blinking, the screen turned black, not off because pixels were still lit up, but black. Power button was blinking red very slowly. Waited... waited... held down the power button and restarted. Still operated with no OS booting up.
Round 3 - exactly like round 1.
Round 4 - Everything the same, but this time I noticed the lit black screen turned off and came back on. Then it just stays lit.... no power button color either.

OK back to how is it listed in device manager?
What version of twrp?

Device Manger has it listed as 'Android Phone' > 'Android Composite ADB Interface'
TWRP is 2.7.1.0 as your install instructions ask for (was 2.6.something-something before)

Are you verifying md5 checksums after downloading files?

When you enter recovery go to setting disable screen timeout that will save you some hassle.

Thanks - I had the slider adjusted, but totally overlooked the button for disable.
I downloaded COT
Cannibal Open Touch Recovery 2.1.3
for 600 X 1024.
I found the recovery and boot img files it needs from an unpacked update.
Does it really need CWM installed? Or will TWRP get the job done?

I'm pretty sure that is not the COTR you want.

If your gonna flash update.zip make sure it's not update.zip.zip cotr will flash it wipe everything except your sdcard first. If your gonna flash sd_shadow zip the twrp you are using will work.
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025793 Use kfu to download it fast boot to install or just select reboot bootloader and use kfu to send it.

Thanks! Got it on there. I tried it from KFU, but it didn't take. The img you provided worked!
That link for COT wasn't COTR and I got absolutely nowhere with it. Waste of time.

I believe that the link KFU used is dead.

Great
For the future i made a zip version of COTR that can b installed from TWRP zip-Cannibal-Open-Touch-Recovery-2.1.zip and I verified that my update-kindle-prerooted.6.3.3.v1.zip installs correctlly in COTR also.

Well...
windows no longer allows me to look at the SD card after changing over to COTR.
Same goes with KFU and ADB devices.
I verified the driver and SDK files are still edited correctly.
Device manager still sees when the KF is attached and I get the sound of connect and disconnecting from Windows.
In storage management I have tried everything.
So, I can't send over another 'update.zip' of Amazon image.
I still have the prerooted 6.3.3.zip on the SD - so I tried to install it.
COTR has a status bar fr the installation.
When it gets about 1/4 of the way, it errors saying it can't find some signatures. I get the option to continue anyway so I go ahead.
does stuff.
does more stuff.
- takes a long nap
Thanks 2 people.
- status bar goes to about 3/4 of the way and.... stops doing anything.
Round 2!
Same thing, but this time it made it. Install complete!
Only thing different is that I unplugged from the PC while it was taking it's nap after doing more stuff.
KF is now looking for a WiFi network.
THANK YOU BOTH FOR THE HELP!!!! :good::good::good:
