[Q] Brick: black screen

I just made an attempt at installing CM9 on my KF.
I used TWRP and thought I had downloaded FFF but throughout the whole process have yet to see the yellow triangle, so I probably do not have that installed afterall.
Anyway, just after I installed CM9 through TWRP, I hit reboot and was greeted with the kindle fire logo for a couple of seconds, then a black screen. The screen remains black until I power off. The power light turns on, and there is no difference between connecting to my computer via USB or using the wall charger.
I'm running Windows 7 with limited command line know-how; I've gotten this far by using Kindle Fire Utility.
When connecting my Kindle now, the computer doesn't seem to recognize it. It plays the little USB sound when plugged in/out, but that's it. When I try to do "adb devices" it no longer detects my Kindle, which has me a little worried.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm sure I can't be the only one with this problem but I've been Googling without finding a solution that works.
Thanks!

did you wipe before flashing rom and gapps?
Hold your power button for 30 seconds then let off power back on tell me in detail what you see? The new fff is white kindle logo with blue fire logo when you see this push your power button a few times till you get a tiny boot menu at the bottom select recovery.
Well if you get to that point I suggest you wipe factory/ data reset wipe dalvik wipe cache and try reflashing your rom and gapps then reboot select system hope youll be good if not repeat this process to include wiping the system as well then reflash.

I did wipe before flashing and then after the install I did whatever wipe/clear option there was before rebooting.
When holding the power button, the kindle powers off after 10-15 seconds. I kept holding but nothing else happened. Powering it on was the same as usual: the regular kindle fire logo for a few seconds, then a backlit black screen, which remains

Aha, sorry. I believe it is the one found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411895
as it has the same file name and showed up on my browser history. I was installing from instructions on lilliputing, unaware that there were different processes for different files.

This rom is old and hasn't been updated in a while, can you get into twrp
If so boot into twrp
Plug in your kindle to your computer and mount usb storage to transfer a different rom to your kindles sdcard
Then wipe whatever the Roms instructions say to do and flash
Reboot and see if it works

Unfortunately, I can't boot into TWRP, and my computer will not recognize the Kindle. I have all the drivers installed fine but it only recognizes it as a "portable device" with which I can do nothing.
With all the information I've given, does it seem like I could fix the issue with a factory cable? If that's the only answer I don't mind buying one. Since I had TWRP installed, would I be able to access it with a factory cable?

I just got the KF last night and have not tried rooting yet, but has anyone had success rooting the latest software version with the Kindle Fire Utility? It seems like tons of people are having issues to get it to work correctly.

yah I know what will help since you cannot access recovery you need to get a bootloader on that so you can. you will need to fastboot flash a bootloader on it. I know you dont flash a zip because that will brick you bad worse than you are now.

How do I do that? I don't have a lot of experience with this and given that I've failed the first time around I'm wary of doing anything without completely understanding the process first. Do I need a factory cable to do this, and if so, what would I do once I have one? Where can I find the bootloader?

wait till someone can tell you with more experience than I for flashing a bootloader.

although there is a chance that you can power off your device start up kfu select the option to install fff and when it says waiting for device plug it in and hopefully it will push fff to your kindle when the utility detects it in fastboot. If it spits out some dialogue and your kindle reboots and you see a white kindle with a blue fire you will know its a success then you will be able to access recovery to fix what you messed up the first time

otherwise wait till someone can give you exact instructions like soupmagnet or kinfauns on how to fastboot flash a bootloader because its unclear to me yet in the meanwhile setting up a live usb with linux will sort out all your driver problems then you wont have to worry abot that part at least http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1670405

just a side note you do the bootloader thing wrong you will create one of the hardest bricks to get out of IMO now you are only soft bricked it is fixable
---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------
also if you already see a white kindle and a blue fire logo then push your power button a few times till you get a boot menu select recovery this will take you into twrp. If so post back your problem isnt that bad

VZW CDMA Galaxy Nexus Bricked / Boot loops help

I own the VZW Galaxy Nexus , and I just unlocked the bootloader and now my phone will not boot-up. The device is stuck on the Google logo splash screen with the lock icon at the bottom of the screen signifying that the bootloader is unlocked. I used the program called Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit v1.4 from Wugfresh to unlock my phone's bootloader, and now my phone is currently bricked. I can still go to the bootloader by holding down volume and power. Can someone help me restore my phone to a working state?
EDIT: Also I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to be posting this, I don't use this site often and the site would not let me post to Galaxy Nexus Android Development for some reason. I can still go to the bootloader by holding down volume and power.

the reason why ur stuck is because ur stock recovery might be blown up. try and flash stock recovery ....or cwm recovery...

You think I didn't try that already? And I don't know how to flash a stock recovery, help?

My phone also got stuck at the google screen when it tried to boot. Turned out it was a bad flash when I was trying to install jelly bean. I just went back in and flashed jelly bean again and everything was back to normal. I think you'll be just fine if you just flash a stock rom or whatever rom you want to run on. Look for one of the guides on how to return to stock and just skip the part about relocking your bootloader.

In the toolkit there is a "flash back to stock" option. Boot back into bootloader and use it.

Thank you very much wish to continue your work

Why be an ass to someone who is trying to help you. A simple I tried that and it didn't work would be fine.
If we assumed everyone did what we would suggest then half of people's issues would probably not have gotten fixed.
Like I would assume you new how to flash stock recovery so I would not want to offend you buy telling you how.

Now to be nice because I know a non working phone sucks : )
Put your phone into the bootloader screen to use in the toolkit. To do this. remove battery, place back in....Then hold volume up and down at the same time and then power the device on while holding the buttons. You will then be in bootloader and the toolkit should recognize your device from there.
If it does, try the steps over again or if you can flash back to stock everything and start over. The tollkit give you the instructions where to get the files if you choose that option.

No i haven't done anything silly with my phone, also i haven't downloaded any recovery tools etc.
I was simply looking at the menu and browsing when all of a sudden this happened. There was a virus attack 'Recycler' on my phone on 20th march but after that i installed an anti-virus and scanned all through it. No other abnormal behavior since then.
Thanks,
Pradeep

So why don't you go to the service center as you have not rooted your device. If you wanna use the sp flash tool then you can install clockwork mod recovery. But that will void your phone warranty and if that does not work then you have to pay to the service center.

If you do not want to go to service center then I have an another trick which is safe and easy to use
Take out and plug again the battery. Now first click the volume up, home key and then press the power button for 5 sec. You would enter into the recovery. Navigate to the factory reset using the volume up and down key and press the home key and after it done reboot the system now. That will surely work if doesn't post here again what you are facing the problem

Well thats the ultimate path, but they are closed for next two days, so i thought if it's a normal occuring issue then will solve myself but then it seems going to the service center is the safest idea.

[Q] CWM for Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 SM-T320

I have successfully rooted my new tablet, but I seem to be having a problem finding what I need for CWM recovery.
I found info on TWRP which I did try to use, but after it appeared to do a successful backup to the ext card, the backup could not be found. No idea where it went to, but I returned recovery back to stock & would like to go with CWM since I am familiar with it & should be able to locate where my backups are stored.
Is CWM even available for this tablet yet or am I just missing the post?
If someone could please help me out & point me what I need I would forever be in your debt, well maybe not forever.
Thank you
Mark

Download Flashify from the play store. Open the app, on the flash tab select recovery, Download CWM, and choose the version you want. Make sure to select the image and not the zip. Let it download and then let it install. No PC necessary and easy as pie. The app also allows you to back up your original recovery as well.

Tried to flash it using Flashify & it came up with an error, maybe this is why there is no CWM available through the app.
Can I just flash this like I did to root it? Using Odin(sp) I assume.
Oh, are you running CM 11? If so how is it working for you?

Flashing & Backup worked fine, but how the heck do I get back into recovery?
I held the power button/vol down & it took me to a screen warning me about flashing roms, Think it was an Odin screen.
Putting CWM on this Galaxy isn't as easy as it was putting it on my Nook HD it appears.
Is there possibly another button combo to get into recovery?
Sorry for all the questions

Turn it on and hold the volume up button for recovery; hold the volume down for odin mode.

Simple enough. Now all I have to do is remember what to do.
