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?

OSX should do. Get it booted up and PM me.
Nada, I'm headed to walmart now to get one though..lol
If you have OSX, there should be no need for LiveUSB.
Okay. PM was sent.
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.
SOLVED
I am in a situation sort of like this guy:

Except my father was trying to fix it and wiped the virtual SD card. Any clues on how to push the zips I need onto it?
It is recognised in fastboot but not adb, so I can flash boot.img. I also have CWM recovery.
I have tried the RUUs but they fail with an unknown error.
I tried manually pushing a system.img from the RUU's rom.zip but it's too large for fastboot (Error 000000006)
In cwm use mount USB storage and connect the hox to the pc.
Now u can copy ur ZIP to the phone.

The HTC One X isn't on the supported list?
EDIT: Found the recovery file, it's booting up now
Solved, thanks to Michealtbh, TWRP allowed me to mount it to push the files over.
From here it should be a piece of cake xD
Hi Everyone,
I did a boo boo. I flashed my One X without a supported CID with the Android Revolution 14.2 ROM. Is there a way to correct this and revert back to my previous ICS? Help please.
There's a Q&A section especially for Questions and Answers, please use that in future.
That being said you wouldn't have been able to update the hboot so just reflash an ICS rom

I'm having problems moving an ICS ROM to the phone to flash it. Whenever I connect the phone to my notebook, the MTP USB device driver is unable to install. because of that Windows could not recognize the phone. I also tried to mount the sdcard in CWM. It is giving me a 'unable to open ums lunfile..." error message.
Is there any other way to flash the phone? I tried "fastboot flash zip rom.zip". It showed OKAY for the copy, however, a second line remark "writing 'zip' ... FAILED (remote not allowed)" appeared. The process then was aborted.
I also tried formatting the sdcard and then tried to mount the sdcard. Same 'unable to open ums lunfile...' error constantly appears. Just afraid that my phone is now a brick. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Install a version of CWM that isn't ancient, I.e., 5.8.4.0.
I suspect that I hard brick my phone now.
Following some advice to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip", not the phone is unable to even get into recovery mode. when I select recovery, it just comes back to the bootloader screen. I tried to flash CWM again and the message I got was "error: cannot load cwd....img"
Funny thing though, when i select HBOOT, some messages appears and disappears saying "Failed to open sdcard, dalvik, cache, etc. etc." I believe that is why windows is unable to recognize the USB drive and is unable to install the drivers.
Have I hard brick my phone?

No, everything is recoverable, if your phone won't turn on at all, then you're bricked for real.
Just flash the one from here:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
then put in the same folder as fastboot and use command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Thanks everyone for the advice. Really appreciate it. I finally managed to use TeamWin Projects and it allowed me to mount the USB. Managed to then transfer an ICS ROM for flashing.
Please help!
I've been messing around with a Kindle Fire 2, and I have TWRP 2.3.3.0 installed. I was running Cyanogenmod until I accidentally wiped /system. When I try to reboot, it says in big capital letters that there is no OS installed. I've never gotten out of TWRP because I was afraid I won't be able to come back into it.
I tried to adb sideload and push and all of those great stuff, but it said, "failed to write data protocol fault". I'm guessing the partitions are all messed up. I checked the forums and most were outdated, so I'm posting a new question.
I was thinking about the "Partition SD Card" feature on TWRP, but will it work? What can happen and how do I set it up?
Thanks in advance!
I am not positive but you may just need a more updated adb program for your PC, try the version in my wallpaper fix.

Whenever I wiped my kf2 out and forgot to put a rom on the sdcard part I would hook it up to my pc with adb and use "adp push romname.zip /sdcard"
Try wiping your sdcard and retry adb push from your pc.
when evrything fails try to flash a stock image via fastboot
Ok, so I'm very new to rooting, Custom Firmware, all of it. I decided to try to root my Kindle Fire. I got CyanogenMod on it, but now it won't connect to the computer. I want to get it back to the normal Kindle Fire OS. Please Help!

Hello there! First a warning, this method will remove root access FFF and TWRP (Everything) so if you don't want that, this is not the method for you.
First you want to download the stock kindle rom http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_navbox_kspot_fireupdate?nodeId=200790620
And then just follow the steps on this post from another XDA member - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399072
And you should be good
EDIT - Wait do you mean you can't connect to computer with a usb, or internet or what?

Ok thanks. Just to clarify, roms should be still zipped (so file extension should be .zip) and placed in the main SD card directory. So if your browser is downloading it to another place you should probably move it.

Step 1) Download ROM from link provided.
Step 2) Download a file manager like ES file Manager, although if you are on CM you should have one already.
Step 3) Use the File Manager to move the file from download to your root of the sdcard, which is /storage/sdcard/
Step 4) Make sure its zip file. Sometimes you may download a bin file, and it won't work. Rename to .zip if its a .bin
Step 5) Go to TWRP and first wipe System, Data, Dalvik and Cache ONLY. Install the the zip file.
Step 6) Reboot
It may take 1-3 Minutes before you enter the Original OS, please note that you WILL LOSE ROOT, FFF, TWRP.

Well, here is a thread I found that mentions the error (about 3/4's of the way down the page), and a potential fix someone had. Unfortunately it requires you to be able to connect your kindle to the computer to use kindle fire utility to work. Will it connect to kindle fire utility, or is that not working either?

I'm running out of ideas, but is it possible to reflash CM? If you can, then there is still another way. You could download another rom directly from your device (like glazed ics for example) flash it, and then you could connect it to a computer to continue. I just flashed glazed ics today and it connects to hte computer with my old cell phone cable, so it should work for you.

CM is not working, after trying to install the stock ROM. All I can do now is get to TWRP.
I dont how if this will give any more help, but I just tried it again, and there was a page I forgot to say. After i go to reboot, and it gives me the warning about no OS installed, it then asks me if I want to install SuperSU, and it says my device doesn't appear to be rooted. I hope someone can give me a solution to this, it is beyond frustrating.

There is a "Mount" function in TWRP. See if it will let you mount your sdcard to USB and transfer a ROM to it.

As annoying as it is, your communication problem may be due to the drivers not being installed correctly. You may want to check your device manager to see if everything is connected. Furthermore, if you have access to your current OS, you may want to check the Developer Options, and confirm that you have debugging enabled. Depending on the drivers you installed to get ADB working, it is entirely possible that you could be able to communicate with the device while booted normally, but not in recovery.
If nothing else, TWRP should have a command line tool where you can perform simple tasks like renaming files from within recovery, and without the need for an ADB connection. You might want to look into that to see if you can find the 'update.bin' that you downloaded to your device (likely located in your "Download" folder), and rename it to 'update.zip' so it will be visible to TWRP for flashing (that is, assuming you really want to revert to stock).
