AmZnCoRe - A linux distro for managing your Kindle Fire - Kindle Fire Android Development

AmZnCoRe is a linux distro for managing your Kindle Fire. It is currently based on TinyCore 4.6 and has been preconfigured with the udev rules for managing your Kindle Fire. You should have adb and fastboot access as soon as the OS is booted.
To use AmZnCoRe, you need to write the disk image to a USB flash drive. There are many tools available for this task. On linux, you can use dd or cat. On Windows, you can use something like Image Writer for Windows. Choose a tool that works for you. Then you just restart your computer and boot from your USB flash drive. You may need to press a key to open your computers boot menu.

It's currently only good for adb and fastboot access. It has no persistent storage. I'm open to any suggestions on how to improve this OS.
Scripts for rooting, flashing custom recovery, and fixing incorrect bootmodes will be included in future revisions.

Good catch. Updated OP.

Tried running it in virtualbox but could not get it to see the KF. Any tips or tricks?

said fixing recursive fault but you must reboot.. only real option for that is to force power off the computer?? Then it said INFO:rcu_sched _state detected stalls on CPU`s/tasks:{blah blah blah on so many jiffies then repeated increasing the number of jiffies

This seems to be a kernel error/warning. Only thing I could probably do is compile a more recent kernel, package it in the image and hope this goes away.

completely smoked a usb drive...

Your USB probably just needs a format. It's really hard to 'kill' a USB drive by just using it. Windows hates GPT though, so that could be your issue. Is it easier to flash this with unetbootin?

The disk image is actually a hybrid ISO and I believe unetbootin can create a Tiny Core USB drive.
I've been meaning to boot into Windows and try it out but it keeps slipping my mind.

Make sure that you uninstall all installed drivers and than don't have your kindle plugged in when you install the provided drivers....

[Q] ADB Error:closed after commands

After I flashed a ROM (a dev official rom since my device has a locked bootloader), now I cannot flash anything else.
I get the 'error:closed' message whenever I try to adb sideload, or adb tcp, or adb usb.
Since my phone is bootlooped I cannot unlock the bootloader or try other things outside adb.
Has anyone ever faced this kind of error?

Changing miui roms still require the bootloader to be unlocked.

Have you tried using Ubuntu and regular adb or something?
If you can't change anything on the phone start changing the way you try to fix it with the PC.
Maybe the linux adb will force it to work or something.
Sorry no specific answer but could be worth a try. If you have the determination there is a chance to fix it.
Your absolute last option is EDL with the test point on the inside of the phone. If you can't send it back to the seller its better to have a phone with a broken seal on the back (just repair it yourself after) than a fully assembled paper weight

Can't find my device in fastboot mode

Hi, i want to unlock the bootloader of my old Redmi note 5, but there's a problem, when I go into fastboot mode, the Xiaomi's software can't find it, even using ADB the device is impossible to find. If I turn it on normally i can find it. Why it happens?
Hey u may give this a try as based on my understanding Xiomi devices will require u to install mi flashtool on PC as it has driver installation option. Remember some times you are required to disable driver signature verification.
I recently had trouble with fastboot as well. I eventually sorted it by installing the correct drivers, from here: http://bigota.d.miui.com/tools/xiaomi_usb_driver.rar
I don't remember having to disable driver signature enforcement (usually to do this you have to use an advanced boot option as shown in Option 2 here) but maybe it happened automatically.

I installed the driver but nothing changed. I post a screenshot of the situation , as soon as i go into fastboot mode the adb can recognize the device, but after few seconds not.

Question Windows on fold 4

Hi,
So I am running stock android unrooted.
I have managed to run Kali Linux in a emulated version on my fold called Termux.
I can work on it as I would on a PC. Many things are lacking but I installed what was lacking.
So my question is can I do the same with windows ?
I looked on playstore and couldn't find any kind of VMware for android devices.
Does anyone know of a VM like software for android ?
I would rather play my steam games on the mobile then run about playing with Aircrack.

What about using remote desktop and just remoting into a windows machine? Thus far that's the only thing I've done - I have not see a way to run windows directly on the zfold4.

You can try Limbo. Just found it on Github. Not sure how well it'll work.
Release Limbo Emulator 6.0.1 · limboemu/limbo
Added qemu disk cache option Added qemu hdd interfaces (tap on the disk icon) Added ignore breakpoint tb invalidation option Apply acceleration option after extra params Added option for importing ...
github.com
The Limbo Emulator would be cool assuming it works ok. My obvious concern is that the bluetooth and more importantly wifi would not function. I will be interested to hear results if anyone give it a try.
Ok I am willing to give this a try. I have installed the Limbo Emulator - but I have questions on how to create the needed windows 10 VHD file - I know I have everything I need to do it , including the windows 10 ISO file. Anyone point me to how to create a proper VHD file? I assume it needs to be bootable and all that but I have found nothing via google that I'm convinced is what I need to do.
Thanks!

Thanks. I already know about limbo but it mainly supports legacy windows. I am looking for windows 10 or 11.
I am after a ful blown windows not a version where half of the stuff don't work.
I am assuming it's too early to expect to find anything.
Sad to see that there is no development for fold 4.
Shame devs have moved away fro. Samsung devices. I remember note 3 and 4 there was a new rom daily. Them where the days indeed....

Just skimmed through the thread. Couldn't see if it needs root or can it be done rootless ?
Also if anyone has tried this for fold 4 does everything work ?
Like WiFi and Bluetooth and will the sim card work so I have Internet on the go ?
Sorry for questions but I don't have time the next couple of weeks to dig into this.
