[Q][SOLVED] G2 Drivers

I am trying to install the ADB for my G2 and it won't install. I have downloaded the USB drivers, pointed the installation to my android sdk folder and it still comes back and says
Cannot Install this Hardware
I gotta be missing something here. Last time I did this was on my G1, worked fine it seemed, I followed the instructions from way back then. But it seems to be much different now.
Can someone help me with this? I Googled around, but found nothing that helped.
SOLUTION:
I modified and uploaded the usb drivers to work for the G2, these will work fine.

You can do that or in my case I just forced the driver with Have Disk.
The above solution is more elegant.

This thread was up a few days ago and I wrote out a how to on manually choosing the drivers for mass storage and adb but it vanished somewhere and I haven't been able to find it since I pposted it. I even subscribed to the thread cause that's what I do with threads I've made posts in...

Thanks, got that working perfectly.

I can't get Windows to recognize the new driver. I updated the file as per the thread above, updated the SDK and all, but Windows keeps seeing the phone as USB only. There is an entry under Disks in device manager as HTC Android Phone USB Device, but won't update the driver because it says it's up to date already. Any thoughts?

Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled under Applications. Then select the driver manually using Have Disk.

I used the pdanet method. So easy even a caveman could do it lol

You don't need the G2 driver. Just force the ADB driver and it'll work just fine.

What are you talking about ? You need to go in the phone settings under applications and enable USB debugging.

i already had that checked on, but by using the pdanet app i was able to force adb to recognize the phone. if u install it on your pc, and connect your phone it will make sure u get adb. works with every phone so far. adb worked for the vibrant, slide 3g, a g1 and a n1 too. every android phone i throw at pdanet is being recognized by adb so far.

Thanks the new driver worked.

This method worked pretty well, except I chose "Google, Inc." as the category, then specifically chose "ADB Testing Interface" as the driver. Works like a charm!
USB mounting works fine automatically on Windows 7 64-bit.

[Q] Stuck at boot!

My Kindle is unable to be detected on Kindle Unbrick and I reinstalled the drivers 9999 times and Kindle is stuck at bootlogo ! , Any Ideas how to flash the original firmware or at least bootup ?
I messed with the libandroid_runtime.so file

Can you see it in device manager?
Probably easiest to use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
But please, this thread should not be in the Dev forum.

Have you tried using "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4002" to enter fastboot mode when KF boots ? when it boots,there is a short time when you can use fastboot.
After entering fastboot mode,everything is so easy to save.

that's only a loose description that you see how it is done:
if you' asked for a driver:
-choose browse my computer for driver software
-Then select have disk
-Then select browse
-direct to where you downloaded the usb driver
-Select ok and ok
if you'r not asked and want to update the driver:
-Go to device manager
-right click on the exclamation mark kindle
-Choose update driver software
-choose browse my computer for driver software
-choose let me pick from a list of devices on my computer
-Then select have disk
-Then select browse
-direct to where you downloaded the usb driver
-Select ok and ok

[Q] Cannot install clockwork mod

Used the one click el29 root and then used e4gauto, but option c, L just gets me an error:
failed to copy 'copy2sd/000root/superuser.apk -> /sdcard/000root/superuser.apk'
not a directory.
Flashed back to stock el29 and started over, same result. Any idea on how to get clockwork mod flashed onto this phone?

I'd suggest using the Odin method from sfhub (again). Download the file then use something like 7zip or Winzip to extract the actual OneClick.exe file to a folder of your choice. Then run if run it from there. Make sure you are able to boot a few times and all works (I usually use the no data file to preserve my settings). Then head over to the e4gauto etc. One thing I have found (and MANY others too!) is to make sure you use a very good USB cable. I have had SO many problems with roots/etc. because of ****ty cables! It is incredible the amount of time I've wasted when all I needed was to just get a new good USB cable! For printers, phones, cameras and other devices. Good luck

Cannot install clockworkmod
I have tried the odin method several times, both nodata and the one that cleared my settings. I have no problem with rooting. I even urooted back to stock with a factory reset and started over.
I have been using the Samsung usb cable that came with the phone. It has never failed me in the past.
It seems as though eg4auto is trying to access a directory that doesn't exist. On my phone superuser.apk is located in the system\apps directory. I think Eg4auto is looking for 000root\superuser.apk.

It appears you may have missed the pre-requisite that usb storage mode should be disable (ie the android guy should be green)

Cannot install clockworkmod
I thought of that, but you cannot get into usb storage mode when you have USB Debugging ticked. Or am I missing something here?

You can in fact connect to USB storage with debugging enabled.
You must have debugging enabled and USB storage must not be enabled.

Then I must be a complete idiot. if I turn on debugging mode and go to usb storage, it tells me to turn off debugging mode. If I go to usb storage first and get the green man, then go back to tick debugging mode it will not allow it until I disconnect cable.

WoW just WoW. think hard, you can do it, I have faith in ya.

How about a hint?

Well, I was messing around and hit "stop adb". Now I get a "more than one device or emulator". Reflashed el29 with odin one click, but still get the error message.

Hint, you're in the wrong mode (USB). You might want to reread the directions.

Ok. Here's what I do. First make sure debugging mode is on. Then connect usb cable. I slide down the notification bar and click on connected to usb which brings me to the screen with the green guy.
At that point I run the program and get an error. What am I missing?

What error are you getting now? Is it the same as before or a different error?
All that part of the script is doing is using adb to push some files to your phone in the /sdcard/000root directory.
If you do "adb shell" and "cd /scard", then type "ls -l", what do you see?
If it has no files or subdirectories, then your /sdcard partition is not visible for some reason.

Listen to Sfhub. He will not steer ya wrong.

Bear with me here. Do I do those commands on the phone using connectbot in local mode? If so, the adb shell command returns "adb: not found". Or do I need the developer toolkit?

When you plug in the phone as long as usb debugging is on, you shouldn't be clicking on the green android, that would enable usb mode. The files will be pushed thru adb you should not have be clicking anywhere on the green android guy.

It should NOT be orange. It should look exactly like the picture above.
If you need to run "adb shell", use Option D, then choose adb shell. If your auto root package doesn't have "adb shell" as an option, get the latest one.
Then type:
Code:
cd /sdcard
ls -l

Yes it looks exactly as pictured. That's why I was sure it wasn't that i had the usb mode wrong. I will try your other suggestion and get back to you.

I got what looks like a directory of the sd card.
Now when I run eg4tauto I am getting daemon not running, adb server didn't ack

[Q] Waiting for device...

So I rooted my KF a day or so ago and didn't follow the directions entirely. I ended up bricking my KF. Eventually I was able to unbrick it and got it back to stock.
I would like to try rooting it again using the KFU (which is what I used the first time), but the KFU won't find my KF.
I installed the drivers and after I plug in my KF, it shows up in my Device Manager under 'Disk Drives' and it is named 'Amazon Kindle USB Device.' Is this correct?
I have removed the drivers and reboot both my computer and KF, re-installed the drivers and the same thing happens.
Something to note... when I uninstall the drivers and plug the KF back into my computer, the drivers install by themselves. I remember the first time I plugged my KF in, the drivers were not found and would obviously not install. I had to manually install the drivers included in this utility in order for my computer to 'find' my KF.

"Disk drives - Amazon Kindle USB Device" is not what you should be worried about. That just lets you mount the sdcard on Windows.
You should be seeing something under "Android Phone" or "Other devices" in the Device Manager. That's the device that needs the ADB drivers.

if this don't help try to use this method to show devices that are not connected atm:
http://www.petri.co.il/removing-old-drivers-from-vista-and-windows7.htm
disconnect the kf and remove everything with adb or kindle
take care that you uninstall the driver too where you get the option to do this
now reconnect the kf - it should ask for the drivers like at the first connection

I'm formatting my computer and starting from fresh. Fresh copy of Windows 7 and a stock KF.
I'll report back.

you need two drivers:
driver (under android phone):
normal & recovery boot: -> android composite adb interface
fastboot: -> android adb interface
according to your screenshot the kf is not recognized by adb
what are the status lines if you start kfu ?
should look like:
ADB Status: Online

So I did a fresh install of Windows 7, plugged in the KF and the same damn thing is happening. I'm gonna throw this thing against the wall.

You're in an unusual spot... I figured a new Windows install would get it to work. In my opinion, if you can rule out Windows 7 as the problem, you're going to have to start looking at the KF as the possible cause. I haven't had stock on my device in a while, but if I was in your shoes... I would try a factory reset. Maybe even try to get it to reflash the stock software. I think you can download the KF software from Amazon, rename it update.zip and put it at the root of /sdcard or /sdcard/kindleupdates and reboot to initiate a flash.
If none of that works, you might want to build/buy/borrow a factory cable. Then you can flash a new bootloader/recovery and try a ROM to see if you can get adb working with that.

A factory reset isn't going to hurt, but you are in a different boat than Carlos. Based on your screenshot of the Device Manager, it looks to me like your computer is recognizing the device correctly and loading the right drivers since it says "Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface" when it's hooked up. For whatever reason, KFU is not able to push the required files onto your device and get it into fastboot mode. I suggest taking KFU the middleman out of the picture and seeing what adb tells you when you try to use it directly. Try something simple like "adb devices" on the command line and see what you get. You'll have to use the command line to run the adb program located in the tools directory of KFU.

Howdy all, I have an old KF here that I have bricked. I'm stuck at the logo. I'm trying to issue shell commands and I get the "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)" error. So far I've found that this means I screwed up my /system when I tried getting this thing back to stock. I cannot remember what I was running on it earlier today.
I do know that I downloaded a factory update.zip and installed that from TWRP. I wiped everything before hand. I'm afraid wiping the SD card after installing the update.zip may have caused me to be stuck at the logo without being able to issue shell commands? I've tried the KindleFireUtility and KindleUnbrickUtility and a few things with soupkit. Nothing is working.
I seem to have found a few hints that there are indeed workarounds to this problem without having to make or buy a factory cable. I'm terrible at soldering.. much better at typing in terminals.
If there is any help out there, I would massively appreciate it.
All I want to do is read a d*** book.

UPDATE:
I bought a fastboot cable.
It appears that I can boot in to fastboot mode (Kindle Fire logo, green light, and screen never dims) but I think at some point, the device gets lost. I installed the android bootloader ADB drivers for the fastboot mode. If I start the kindle without the factory cable and it boots normally and sits at the logo screen forever, it gets listed as an ADB device. While the kindle is still attached, I can reboot it in to what I am assuming is fastboot mode. My Windows10 rig sees it as a composite ADB bootloader interface. But I can't get unBrickUtility to do anything... the only thing I saw it do to the kindle was wipe the userdata. Other than that, UnBrickUtility cannot see my kindle in fastboot mode.
Unplugging my factory cable and plugging it back in causes the kindle to be completely unrecognized ( unknown usb device set address failed) on Windows 10.
I have soupkit running on a netbook... it tells me that my shell is damaged, which I know is the problem. But now I'm not sure what to do next as I can't get linux (mint) to recognize my kindle in fastboot mode either.
I really hope someone out there has been here before and can help. I'd love to see this thing running back to normal again.

UPDATE: I FIXED IT.
What ultimately saved this device was being able to get in to fastboot mode. I bough the cable, flashed FFF and TWRP from fastboot mode. I then found I could not run shell commands. I fixed this by running
Code:
fastboot oem format
from fastboot mode. Then going back in to TWRP, I was able to mount /System and was then able to use Soupkit's kindle fire utility to fix the /sdcard. The version of TWPR I was using would not flash the stock update, so I downloaded and flashed that. Afet that installed, I was able to flash the stock update and now I'm up and running again! WOO! Thank you so much for the developers here!!!
Admin: can I get the thread title so reflect the fact that I have fixed this for future users? Thank you!
