I made a pretty big noob mistake while attempting to install the Cyanogenmod 9 alpha 9 onto my HTC One X.
I flashed the boot.img without installing the cm-9-20120627-alpha-9-endeavoru.zip onto the phone's memory. Now the phone is stuck either in a bootloop or, when I erase the cache, stuck at the boot screen.
What can I do? I'm using a Mac, so apparently flashing a RUU won't work.
My version is 1.29.401.11.

hold the power button and the volume down button for about fifteen seconds
you should now be in the bootloader
select fastboot
navigate to the fastboot path in your pc with cmd
type fastboot erase cache
on your phone select the reboot recovery option
you should now be able to flash the zip from recovery

My problem is that I had completely forgotten to put the zip onto the sdcard. I can't flash it from recovery because it's not there.
I also tried flashing it to the sdcard using fastboot, but I get an error that says "FAILED (remote: not allowed)"

You have to go into recovery, and tick mounts & storage. At the bottom look for the mount USB mass storage function.then copy the ROM to the phone. Unmount it after that and you can flash it.
Correct me if I'm wrong

You just do this turn of your phone connect to pc and wait for the driver installation.. then go to the adb or fastboot folder.. then type adb devices in the command prompt.. if the driver is installed properly it'll show.. then mount sd card with adb shell mount /sdcard
And copy paste the Rom or kernel module with adb push <path to file> /sdcard this may take a while depends on the size and speed.. hope this should help. Hit the thanks if it worked

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying (noob and all). Also, I'm using a Mac, so I don't think I'm supposed to install any drivers.
I'm pretty much at the point where I would settle for just a working phone. How can I get it back to working condition? I'm finding this phone to be far more difficult to work with than the Galaxy Nexus. But then again, I'm not sure I know what I'm doing anymore.

Un-freakin-believable. My phone is back. Now I just have to get a new SIM card because I picked up a backup phone from the T-Mobile store.
I can't thank you enough, Freddy1X.
I formatted the device and sd card...I tried restarting and it would not load into the ROM anymore. (It was previously working) I messed up by formatting them both...
I was able to get the TWRP recovery installed (I am rooted) via the KF Utility. Now I am trying to mount it via TWRP with Mount > Mount USB Storage. If I can do that I can put a ROM on it and reflash a new one. However when I click "Mount USB storage" it goes to the screen "Unmount" but nothing pops up on my computer. I checked my Computer and there are no usb storage devices that pop up on my computer.
I installed the KF driver from the KF Utility folder that it comes with. I can't get it to mount...PLEASE help me!

The KF would show up as a Android Composite ADB Interface under Android Phone. If you don't see that try installing the drivers again from the KFU > Drivers directory. Either dpinst32.exe or dpinst64.exe. If they won't install because of an error you need to find what the driver is installed as on your system, then uninstall it and reinstall dpinst... and you should be good.
If you havent got it fixed make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data then mount there should only be checks in cache and sdcard
Also having the same problem...

Have you figured it out yet? I'm having the same problems where I attempt to mount through twrp and nothing happens on my pc.
I have Glazed ICS
It's odd though... when I connect while booted my kindle shows up as a galaxy, it's only when in twrp that it appears as a kindle/android adb device
Reinstalled the drivers... ect, nothing...
Any other suggestions anybody?
For some reason, formatting the sdcard in TWRP breaks its ability to be mounted via USB and must be mounted manually and formatted via your computer.
Open your CLI and prepare to send adb commands:
Code:
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
You'll get a dialog saying the drive needs to be formatted. Choose quick format, FAT32, block size 4096
Be damn sure the "mmcblk0p12" says "p12", not p1 or p2, or you will be performing a little "surgery" on your device to fix it.

Alright, I'm going to be rather noobish here and I'm incredibly sorry about that...
Win7 64, Kindle Fire rooted to Glazed ICS
I'm going to go through all the stupid questions at the beginning... should I have my device booted regularly or in TWRP?
In TWRP:
devices doesn't show up in adb devices
In Regular Boot:
My devices is showing up in adb devices...
after opening cmd and starting amd.exe I enter amd shell and nothing happens. cmd goes to the next line and sits there (wont let me do any kind of input)
From searching and reading I'm suppose to get a $ symbol yes?
(What it looks like)
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell
_
No. In Unix based systems (OSX, Linux, Android), the root prompt is a "#" I have no idea what it is for Windows.

Alright, so I've been working for two weeks to get some kind of shell prompt and have been unable to get it.... Any ideas as to why I'm not able to do it?
My first suggestion will always be to eliminate any possibility of Windows errors and set up a Linux LiveUSB. By doing so, you can rest assured it isn't the computer itself causing any unnecessary difficulties.
If your shell is messed up, the way to fix it is by reinstalling the ROM. Just be careful doing so, because if you accidentally forget to wipe the necessary partitions and it prevents the system from booting, you'll likely be looking at getting a factory cable before you can move any further.
Linux is very stable but it needs to be configured before it will work with adb and fastboot. Soupkit will do that for you very easily. Just remember, the device itself plays a big role in whether or not adb or fastboot will connect. If that's the case, you may have to look at other options.
I have the same problem... the biggest problem is when there is OS the kinlde fire adb driver was different from in the recovery I went to my computer device manager and It have amazon kindle fire2 unknown and Linux storage G:\ different from the old driver is google USB or amazon kindle fire USB and the storage is diffrent too and I can't delete the old driver either... need help how can?
Hi there
I accidentally formatted the /sdcard, /system, as well as /cache partitions on my device. When I connect my device to my computer in fast boot mode, nothing comes up, it does not get detected and when I connect it after its switched off, it shows device not recognized. Please help me, I really need my device working ASAP for my project work.
Thanks in Advance
If you have adb drivers setup you can adb push a ROM in a custom recovery.
To add to the statement above. Here is the process.
Mount /data under mounts and storage in recovery.
Run:
Code:
Adb push name-of-rom.zip /data/media
Then unmount and it will be on the root of the sdcard.

when i connect my phone to the pc, i get a "USB Device not Recognised" pop up. The adb as well as fastboot do not detect the device...
from a linux user:
- open device manager, connect device (which should be in recovery), when you see it on device manager, right click on it, update the driver manually to the ones found in Dev section.
right?
I had to get the drivers from the Samsung site because the auto update driver function didn't work for me.

Hi,
I accidentally deleted everything through TWRP. I wanted the kindle fresh for my new ROM, and thought that deleting everything would make for a cleaner install. I was wrong and now all my kindle is good for is TWRP.
When in TWRP, windows doesn't recognize the kindle. Because of this, I cannot mount it. Windows and the kindle fire utility recognizes it as adp when i boot regularly (which is just a black screen) but cannot do anything since it will not enter normal or fast mode.
I don't know what to do, nothing is working. When I restart the kindle it says superuser is not installed, and asks if I would like to install it. I say yes, and it fails. Super user WAS installed before I deleted everything.
Any ideas?
Some more info
1. shell doesn't work
2. it looks like the bootmode is stuck in fastboot, but KFU won't recognize it, even though windows does.
3. Windows does not recognize the kindle when in TWRP recovery mode. If It did i could simply transfer files over and flash it...
4. If I try to boot normally, I get a black screen, but FKU recognizes ADP. It does not recognize what bootmode it's in though.
I believe FFF is working as I have the blue kindle logo and options in the bootloader, but no matter what I do I can't figure it out.
I REALLY need some help from you more experienced guys
thanks for reading
I'm making some progress, I'm in fastboot command prompt and have access. But what do I do from here?
How can I install a system from fastboot? It looks like all the guides say to install twrp and go from there but I have twrp and it wont communicate with my pc!!!

Interestingly, rebooting into recovery just brought me to the bootloader. it wouldnt boot into recovery by itself, I have to manually do it through the bootloader. Immediately, booting into recovery disconnects my kindle from the pc, and I hear the sound in windows and the kindle dissapears from device manager.

Move everything to the root of your c drive fastboot.exe, adb.exe, update.zip, all of it and than when you open your CMD windowas admin type
cd /
This will move you to the root of your c drive in you CMD window... Than type dir to make sure u can see your fastboot and adb and your update zip
than type

It's been a long time since I looked at this, but I seem to remember the windows adb client wanting a trailing slash if the push destination is a directory. That is... you want to use "/sdcard/" instead of "/sdcard" in that command to indicate that you want to push a file into that directory rather than replace the directory with a file (which it won't allow). Alternatively, you can use "/sdcard/update.zip" to remove any ambiguity from the command.
The output of your "adb devices" command is also a concern. It doesn't look to me as if you've booted the device into TWRP because it should output "recovery" and not "device" at the end there. One way or another, you'll have to get it to boot into TWRP if you want to flash that update.zip.
I wanna thank you guys for helping me. I'll never be able to figure this out alone.
Still no luck. It either says it's a directory or I lack permission.

I can get into TWRP, but windows will not recognize the kindle while in recovery mode. The only times windows will recognize the devices is if I'm sitting at the boot launcher (it says fastboot) or try and normal boot (and it says "device"). If I could just connect to the PC in TWRP, i could mount it, cut for some reason I can't. Whenever I exit TWRP it also warns me that superuser is not installed, and if I would like to install it. I say yes, and it gives me an error =/
Fastboot works great though, is there anything I can just flash?

Try to use the "mount" function in TWRP to mount the /sdcard partition on your computer. It should work with the generic drivers already on your Windows PC and you can copy the update.zip over to it that way. If you can't get that to work, you are going to have to try reinstalling the drivers to get your PC to recognize TWRP. There are detailed instructions on how to do this in my guide.
The only other thing I can think of is to try reflashing an older version of TWRP. Those directions are available in one of my guides as well.

I would if it were me, install a recovery you dont plan on using... Than flash the one you would like to us.... I know it sounds funny but.. Ive be here before and that seems to work everytime... Than flash ROM and Gapps....
Here is the link to TWRP the first gen fire is an 'otter'... Make sure you get the otter.img....Than rename the .img file to twrp.img than put it with fastboot.exe and open CMD window as admin...and type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery twrp.img
Than
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
Let me know if that works for you or if you have any questions along the way... Thx as always lj
I didn't see the link for the older TWRP, but I went to the website and tried this one
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/blaze
openrecovery-twrp-2.4.2.0-otter.img
I successfully flashed it and rebooted, but when the kindle went into recovery mode it once again disconnected from the computer. In recovery, which was clearly the older TWRP version, I attempted to mount but nothing happened. Of course it can't happen if it isn't communicating with my pc =/
Can I flash a ROM directly through fastboot? That would probably solve the issue, no?
What about that other recovery program, COTR?

2.6.3.1 Give that one a try!!!
I was able to get TWRP recognized by windows by using the earliest blaze edition. I mounted, copied the files, and then flashed back to 2.6.3.1 otter.
Then I wiped whatever data may have been in system data and cache and installed a new rom...
Only problem is it seems to be hanging on "updating partition details.."
I have the option to reboot, but am not sure if I should...
I think I got it!!
