Installing Android & TWRP problem - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a Kindle Fire and I followed your instruction on hhow to install Android.
I have rooted it and installed TWRP but I can not continue because no laptop can see my Kindle in order to copy on it the Android kit. Hence I have only the TWRP interface and I can not do anything.
How can I continue or how can I reinstall the Kindle Fire OS ?
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks,
Vlad

Second, how can I transfer the file, because I can not see my Kindle on windows explorer. Is there a command through cmd ?

the wifi should work perfectly unless your router has issues or its some strange adhoc thing try power off then back on a couple of times make sure your wifi password is correct select forget network then re-enter the info for your wireless connection... remember to make a backup next time you enter recovery.. if you still have issues try another rom with the same wipes in the same order.... this 1 is pretty nice if you wanna stick with gingerbread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773 just remember to flash gingerbread gapps after the rom full instructions in the op.. but include the ones I gave you

install rom to sd card through recovery

any way to do this because i forgot to make a backup and i was installing a theme and it just went into boot loop please help
You have to use adb push command to push it to your SD card, or mount USB storage in recovery to put it there.
Then you can install it.

also i am getting pb311diag errors not sure if you know what that means
Just find a ROM you want to run in the Development forum, download it.
The adb command is a command line that is a part of Android SDK.

You can download the ROM you want to your computer, boot your phone into recovery, mount USB in mounts and storage, and drag and drop your ROM zip file there. Then install it like any other zip.
Make sure to clear all user data which is a factory reset, dalvik too in Advanced menu. Do this before flashing your ROM of choice.

[Q] bricked ?

ok, some dopey kids at my daughters school, borrowed her fire and messed around with it...
we bought it used, with TWRP 2.1.1 installed and everything was great until last Friday!
Now, from the sketchy details i can pull together they went into the 'wipe' screen and wiped every option in there for us!
kindle now boots with blue kindle text, asks us which type of boot we'd like which is where it starts to go wrong!
It either goes into TWRP, but theres no option to load a ROM anywhere.
or, it boots eventually to the yellow fire text, but hangs there forever.
I cannot get the fire to be recocognised by the pc, to allow me to put a new rom on it to allow TWRP to pick it up an install it.
any ideas guys, or is it proper dead....
PS.... i have never rooted an android device before - so nice an simple instructions please!
Naww its fine it does need a system for sure and what's there is broken and may have a mounting issue but I can't tell that for sure. Connect it to the pc, enter recovery, select mount make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system or data if so uncheck them, hit the big mount button hopefully the sdcard contents will pop up on your computer screen. Transfer this rom to the sdcard http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 not the altrom version that is for dual booting. When finished with the transfer of the rom zip select unmount, then unplug, wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, select install, flash rom zip then select reboot and system if prompted. Pm me if you have difficulty and I will help assist you if more is neccessary. Good luck.
Edit: If it will be some time before you get to it make sure you keep it charged a dead battery will compound the issue ten fold so leave it in recovery and plug it into the stock wall charger for storage.
super, thanks for that - I'll charge it up overnight then and give it a go....

You downloaded it to your kindle or you transferred using mount? If you downloaded it to your kindle it will be located in your download folder if you transferred it then you will need to use twrp to locate where you transferred it to. The . And the .. or up one level allows you to navigate your sdcard contents depending on your version of twrp. External storage is your sdcard so you don't want to wipe this or it will also wipe everything that have moved there.

hey so i got the rom on there like u showed me. now i want to get my kindle back to default. like no twrp no nothing. i want it just like when i took it out of the box. just EVERYTHING normall amazon OS.. no root stuff
I do not recommend it. If you make mistake you will brick it. You can use kfu option 6 for extras obtain latest update.zip then transfer this to your sdcard do a full wipe and flash it in twrp just don't wipe your sdcard. I still don't recommend it. KFU will download it and extract it do not use the extracted update.zip files just use update.zip only. At your own risk of course. For best results wipe factory/reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash update.zip and select reboot and system if prompted.

Complete Guide for Rooting and Flashing Custom ROM Galaxy Y GT-5360 for beginners

Tired of searching for a complete Guide to Flash JellyBlastv3 on your GT-S5360?
Well, I have something for you::::
Read On....
Warning: The Below Steps are only for Samsung Galaxy Y, GT-S5360
Performing any of the steps shall Void the Warranty of Your Device.
I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your Device or emotional loss or anything.
You are solely responsible for you actions.
The Following procedure has been tested by me and it is working correctly.
​
Warnings and Important Tips:
1. The process may and will erase all your data present on the device. Better backup your contacts, Messages, Calendar entries, Notes Etc. You may use Super Backup, Go Backup or SMS Backup & Restore. There are several other apps in the Market. I would recommend to backup using multiple apps.
2. A Computer should be within reach with internet. Also have a USB Cable. Wi-Fi is recommended.
3. Make sure the system is running Stock ROM and Stock Kernel.
4. Also make sure you are running latest version of android available. On Galaxy Y, it is 2.3.6
5. If not, you can update, by going into settings>about phone>software update. Sign in with Samsung Account. 6. Before proceeding further, make sure that the phone is fully charged (Recommended 70% at least). High Chances of damage are there if the device runs out of juice during flashing.
7. Proceed with caution. Avoid confusion. Follow the steps! Never Jump to next step before completing first!
8. Within Procedures if you think the battery is not enough (>70%), you can charge it before proceeding to next procedure. The Phone can’t be charged within an ongoing procedure.
9. Enable the USB Debugging option. Go to Settings>Development>USB Debugging. Check it every time.
10. It took me considerable time to type the detailed steps to make it easy for even a beginner. Be Generous.
DO NOT FORGET TO PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON! :laugh:
I. Root​
Rooting is a process by which you can get root access or administrator privileges to your Android phone and can flash tweaks, custom ROMs, custom kernels, install additional applications which requires root, use firewall etc.
Root will void your phone’s warranty but it doesn’t matter you can get it back! (Google unroot)
1. Download the the update.zip file to your SD Card (not in any folder). I have attached it with the post.
2. Switch off your phone & boot into recovery mode.
3. Press Vol Up + Power Key + Home button together at the same time to boot in recovery mode.
4. Touch screen is disabled here.
5. Use volume keys for scrolling & home button for selection.
6. Select Apply update from SD card.
7. Select update.zip (which you have downloaded).
8. When it shows Installed from SD Card complete written.
9. Select reboot system now.
10. Your phone will restart & first boot may take 5 minutes. (Mine took a few seconds!)
11. Check for an application Superuser and open it.
12. Go to Menu > Preferences > SU Binaries> Update binaries.
13. SU Binaries will update. (You need active data connection or Wi-Fi)
14. When it get updated, restart your phone.
You’re done! Your phone is now rooted.
Warning: Do not delete Superuser or you will lose your root!
II. Flash ClockWorkMod​
ClockWorkMod is a Custom Recovery which lets you Flash Custom ROM, Kernels etc.
Note: This is temporary. Every time you need CWM, you have to flash it again. (For your convinience, keep it in the SD)
Instructions:
1. Enable USB Debugging by going to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development - Enable USB Debugging.
2. Download the CWM Recovery.zip file and Place that file on the root directory of your SD card. (Attached)
3. Switch off your phone .Then boot into recovery mode, (hold Volume up button + Home button + Power button).
6. Select "apply update from SD card ", find the zip file you copied to your SD card earlier.
Once done, it will give you the option to reboot your phone, reboot and you're done!
You got CWM installed, you can now flash custom ROMs.
III. Backup Stock ROM​
In case, if anything happens to your device while flashing Custom ROM, backup of Stock ROM serves as a contingency plan. The Backup can be used to recover damaged device via Odin. (Now don’t ask me what’s Odin)
It can also be used to return to the Original State if ever you wish to revert back.
1. Boot into CWM by Flashing CWM again.
2. Go to Backup/Restore
3. Select Backup Current ROM. It will take a while and then it’s Done! The size of the Backup File depends upon the no. of apps installed. Generally should be around 200-400 MB.
IV. Flash Custom ROM (JellyBlastv3 by Avijit Ghosh)
DOWNLOADS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679563​
INSTALLATION GUIDE:
1. Make sure that you're on Stock kernel. Stock = Factory version.
2. Remove a2sd or data2sd and format your 2nd partition if you have it.
3. Place the above file to your SD Card (NOT IN ANY FOLDER!!!)
4. Switch off your phone.
5. Flash Clockwork mode.
6. Wipe data/factory reset.
7. Wipe cache partition.
8. Go to Advanced options and Wipe Dalvik cache.
9. Go to mounts and storage->select mount/system and mount/data.
10.Now choose: Install zip from sd card.
11. Choose JELLYBLAST V3.signed.zip and choose yes.
12. Keep your fingers crossed and pray.
It will be installed. Now reboot your phone. First boot will take time. Be patient.
V. Install OTA​
Over The Air Updates are the updates that are released after the ROM to fix bugs and problems or to make minor changes.
Important: Apply the OTA Updates in serial-wise manner to avoid bricking.
1. Download OTA 1, OTA 2, OTA 3, OTA 4.1 and OTA 5 and place them in your SD Card.
2. Boot into CWM, Select “Install .zip from SD ” and select OTA 1. After Completion, Device will Reboot.
3. Repeat Similar Steps OTA 2, 3,4, and 5.
4. You are Done! Now you are Running the latest version of the Custom ROM available.
5. You can check for updates in OTA updater.
VI. Partitioning SD Card​
On SGY GT-S5360, the Internal Memory is too low (190 MB). Every time you try to update the apps or try to Install new apps, you get the annoying message saying “ Internal Memory Full, delete some apps”. This is where Link2sd comes to the rescue!
There are also Similar apps available on the Market, but here we will be using Link2SD.
There are several ways to partition SD card, but here we will be using CWM.
Note: You need a rooted device, well doesn’t matter we have already rooted.
Note: This method will erase all your data on SD, so better backup it
1. Boot into CWM recovery.
2. Select Advanced options.
3. Select Partition SD Card.
4. Choose the partition size. (1024 recommended)
5. Choose the Swap size. (0 M)
6. Select “Yes”. It will take a while and then you are done! Reboot your phone.
7. Open Link2SD (or Download it from the Market). A pop-up will appear, choose ext3 (ext4 is fastest but ext3 is most compatible). Then Reboot.
8. Open Link2SD, Go to settings , then tick Auto Link.
9. Below in Auto Link settings click on all the three- Link App file, Link Dalvik Cache, Link library files.
10. Also set the Default location to external.
11. You are done. You can also link some of the existing user apps to the partition.
Now all your user applications will be linked to the SD Card, saving your precious internal memory space
Also Don’t forget to Grant Link2SD superuser permissions.
YOU ARE DONE! RESTORE YOUR BACKUP & ENJOY!!
NOW DON’T BE SELFISH! PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON!!!
The ROM has been made available by Dev Avijit Ghosh. Do not forget to thank the developer for his effort.

You have forgotten the most important step in flashing any zip file in cwm
Go into mounts and storage and mount system and data before you choose a zip from sd card
Also the links to jb v3 have been removed due to rule brakes - I suggest you base your guide on another rom

Mount system allows cwm to write to the system folder of your phone
Some versions of cwm when cwm is flashed have system already mounted which is probably why you got away with it
If system is not mounted the zip will still appear to of flashed but nothing will of changed

the thing is in 'permanent' cwm kernels(like savie) /system won't be auto mounted therefore you'll have to mount it manually for successfull flash as cwm can't write onto an un mounted partition . The problem doesn't seem to exist with temporary cwms.

2. Remove a2sd or data2sd and format your 2nd partition if you have it.
3. Place the above file to your SD Card (NOT IN ANY FOLDER!!!)
4. Switch off your phone.
5. Flash Clockwork mode.
6. Wipe data/factory reset.
7. Wipe cache partition.
8. Go to Advanced options and Wipe Dalvik cache.
9. Go to mounts and storage->select mount/system and mount/data.
10.Now choose: Install zip from sd card.
11. Choose JELLYBLAST V3.signed.zip and choose yes.
12. Keep your fingers crossed and pray.
It will be installed. Now reboot your phone. First boot will take time. Be patient.
V. Install OTA​
Over The Air Updates are the updates that are released after the ROM to fix bugs and problems or to make minor changes.
Important: Apply the OTA Updates in serial-wise manner to avoid bricking.
1. Download OTA 1, OTA 2, OTA 3, OTA 4.1 and OTA 5 and place them in your SD Card.
2. Boot into CWM, Select “Install .zip from SD ” and select OTA 1. After Completion, Device will Reboot.
3. Repeat Similar Steps OTA 2, 3,4, and 5.
4. You are Done! Now you are Running the latest version of the Custom ROM available.
5. You can check for updates in OTA updater.
VI. Partitioning SD Card​
On SGY GT-S5360, the Internal Memory is too low (190 MB). Every time you try to update the apps or try to Install new apps, you get the annoying message saying “ Internal Memory Full, delete some apps”. This is where Link2sd comes to the rescue!
There are also Similar apps available on the Market, but here we will be using Link2SD.
There are several ways to partition SD card, but here we will be using CWM.
Note: You need a rooted device, well doesn’t matter we have already rooted.
Note: This method will erase all your data on SD, so better backup it
1. Boot into CWM recovery.
2. Select Advanced options.
3. Select Partition SD Card.
4. Choose the partition size. (1024 recommended)
5. Choose the Swap size. (0 M)
6. Select “Yes”. It will take a while and then you are done! Reboot your phone.
7. Open Link2SD (or Download it from the Market). A pop-up will appear, choose ext3 (ext4 is fastest but ext3 is most compatible). Then Reboot.
8. Open Link2SD, Go to settings , then tick Auto Link.
9. Below in Auto Link settings click on all the three- Link App file, Link Dalvik Cache, Link library files.
10. Also set the Default location to external.
11. You are done. You can also link some of the existing user apps to the partition.
Now all your user applications will be linked to the SD Card, saving your precious internal memory space
Also Don’t forget to Grant Link2SD superuser permissions.
YOU ARE DONE! RESTORE YOUR BACKUP & ENJOY!!
NOW DON’T BE SELFISH! PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON!!!
The ROM has been made available by Dev Avijit Ghosh. Do not forget to thank the developer for his effort.

I unlocked bootloader with windroid tool. Then I flashes twrp. Then this being my first time messing with an android in years I went and just grabbed the first rom I thought I could use, do to the fact that I had done no backup no nandroid anything so I flashed a rom and after it did it every time I tries to flash different rom because it said the rom I did first failed. So everytime I tries to do anything else with windroid it says there is a log file in the logs folder. Send this to windycity's forum so it can be tAken care of. But I couldn't find this file or where to submit the file so I thought if I just reset the phone back to factory I could restart. And after resetting it multiple times it still said, there is a log file in the logs folder send this to Windy City. So since I do still have the twrp tool that I can use I went in there and found that it has to rm -f delete everything Linux code so I did that. And since I've done that all I can do is get to bootloader and twrp. But the so is deleted. So basically nothing works. I can't figure out how to get the sd to mount or it won't mount for whAtever reason. And since the phone is wiped it won't enable USB debugging to connect to computer. I can get it to start to enable and connect for a second but not long enough for it to do anything. And I believe it's a htc evo 4g sprint. So that's the situation. The next thing I was gunn try was to go buy a mini sd card reader so I can mount it to computer and then put the rom in there. This **** is so confusing and ridiculous. I mean I can jailbreak an apple device no problem. But holy mother of God androids are the most insanely retarded phones to root. Drivers, adb, sdk...... Anyways if u can help let me know because there's a million roms and kernels out there and I don't know what build to use and how to set it up and the whole kernel process sounds confusing.
Do this. Go to the link below. Look at the second post. Go to the "Current Release" section and download either the stock rooted odex or deodex ROM, doesn't matter. Put the ROM zip on your external SD card. You can do this with the mount option in TWRP (select the mount option then select your external SD card from the menu. You should then be able to transfer the ROM zip from your computer directly to your phone), or just use a card reader to transfer the file from your computer to your SD card, then put the card back into your phone. Boot into TWRP and go to the wipe menu. Do a wipe of system, data, Dalvik & cache. Once you've done this, go to the install option, then locate the ROM zip you placed on your SD card. Flash the ROM. Once the install completes, reboot the phone. The first boot will take a few minutes so be patient. Afterwards the phone should boot to the OS.

Also, USB debugging is only useful when the phone is actually booted to the OS. It doesn't matter that it isn't enabled for your particular dilemma. If all else fails, shoot me a PM and I may have something else that can get you up and running.
