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....

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

Hi,
Thanks for the response,but the link doesn't work and I can not download the zip file.
Second, how can I transfer the file, because I can not see my Kindle on windows explorer. Is there a command through cmd ?

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 not the altrom version and you have to fill in the captcha to get the download at regular speed and I told you how to transfer the file select mount in twrp there should be no checks in system and data.....cache and sd should have checks should be like this by default hit the big button that says mount this will allow you to view your sd card contents simply just copy the rom.zip there and follow the rest of my instructions....
It worked
Now the Wi-fi is not working, I have to install different drivers ?

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
I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have looked at the other posts which relate to a very similar problem, but none of them have quite the same problem as me. Basically, all the phone will do is show the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' loading screen and it is stuck in a reboot cycle. I can access the bootloader and I have tried to factory reset with no luck.
I was watching a YouTube tutorial on how to flash CM10 onto my One X (I do have ClockworkMod and all of that stuff installed already). Everything was going well, but the video only briefly (for maybe a second) mentioned the fact that you have to put the CM10 zip folder onto the phone storage before you flash the boot.img. I went on and followed the steps and tried to flash the boot.img, but as I said earlier, all the phone will do is reboot over and over again. I have charged it to full battery so this should not be a problem when I go to fix it.
I would be really grateful for any help on the subject as I contacted the person who made the tutorial, and he has not responded. Thanks in advance.

Have you placed the ROM's zip file in your phone's root?
If you haven't, go to fastboot and flash CWM 5.8.4.0 and then go into recovery > mounts and storage > mount USB. Now place your ROM into the storage and flash it via install zip from SD card. Don't forget to wipe data partition, cache partition and Dalvik cache.
If this wasn't your case, just try erasing data partition, cache and Dalvik cache again.
If it still doesn't work, try flashing another ROM.
Thank You!!!

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.
Hello everyone my name is Albert and im writing this post because I really need help.
I recently rooted,flashed and install a custom rom (Android revolution) . Ive always rooted and flashed all my phone you can say i know my way around those thing. But 2 days i decided to do a factory reset on my phone because some google services weren't working. I also did an advance wipe from recovery and restarted. After I havent been able to use my phone because it just stays on the white screen with the HTC Logo.
I went into recovery and it says something about not having an os installed..
Ive searched everywhere I cant find any thing that can help
I've tried thousands of ways to fix it but can't seem to find one that works. Ive tried connecting my phone to my computer and tried to sideload a rom but my computer doesn't recognizes it just tries to install driver for MTP device .,
Seriously guys any help will be greatly appreciated. Im lost and desperate ...
You must have literally wiped everything. Follow these steps and you should be good to go:
-Download a rom from the development section
-Put downloaded rom onto micro sd card
-Put micro sd card into phone
-boot into recovery (use the button combination, if you don't know it, google it)
-(assuming you're using TWRP) Select wipe, then advanced wipe, Select: Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data
-Then slide to wipe
-Once you've wiped, press the home button in the bottom left corner
-Press install, then find the downloaded rom you've placed on the sd card, flash it and reboot
-Success?!?! :good:

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.
