Kindle Fire root issues

Hi everyone, a buddy of mine suggested this site could be helpful for someone with my issues (and I see there are a few like me...), so here goes...
I've been wanting to root my kindle for a bit now and decided to go for it. I'm not very technologically saavy, and am usually careful not to jump into something that seems out of my league. So anyways I was following the seemly straight-forward instructions here:
http://liliputing.com/2012/05/how-to-root-a-kindle-fire-with-software-version-6-3-1.html
and initially things went fine. However, when I clicked on option 2 "Install Permanent Root with Superuser." after a few minutes into this process (I didn't think to make a note of what it said) it stopped with some error. Since then my Kindle has been stuck on startup screen, I can turn it off and on, just not go anywhere. Since this point I haven't been able to get my Kindle connected with the KFU. I also have attempted to reinstall the drivers, but I get error messages.
I've read through most of the "before asking for troubleshooting help" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644970, and I think I have a better idea of everything than before...but this isn't really my area of expertise for sure. But somethings I understand, others just make me more mixed up.
If anyone could lend a hand, that would be great...I'd certainly be grateful and if you need any more information than I have provided...please let me know!
Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew your just stuck in fastboot and your drivers may be a little wacked out wish you knew the error. Shift plus right click on the tools folder in kfu the select open command window here type
Code:
fastboot devices
hit enter if you see a string of numbers this shows your kindle in fastboot then type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
hit enter then type
Code:
fastboot reboot
it should then boot normal hopefully

[Q] What to do if someone asks for my specific problem log file?

Folks, i really don't know what to do to get a specific problem log file to be sent/showed to someone to fix my problem, any help or suggestions will be really appreciated here

If you just had a hard reboot, once booted up, from pc
Adb pull /proc/last_kmsg
This will get last kmsg file related to the last boot session to your pc.
If no hard reboots but freezes etc, then
Adb shell dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
To see what's been going on since the boot at kernel level. File gets created on sdcard. Use
Adb pull /sdcard/dmesg.txt
To get it to your pc.
To get a log of something, before trying it, start the logcat with
Adb logcat > logcat.txt
File will be created on the pc.
This is from my post 6843 in official cm10 thread. You can also use
Adb shell cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/kmsg.txt
To see kernel logs since last boot.

does this means i've lost the latest log? if no, then how to extract the specific problem log from it such as the signal loss? or shall i send the whole log?

use "adb logcat -b radio"
Press the thanks button if you want to thank me

You are welcome.
Just send the whole log. Best practice is to post it to pastebin and post the link in the forum.
After every reboot you will lose the previous last_ksmg.

i already pressed it
but it seems this shows you the log at the run time, but what am trying to get is the log of my weird signal loss for incidents happened yesterday, is this even possible?

No that's not possible. You can start a logcat, repeat the steps that caused the problem, after the problem , post logcat and kmsg.

[Q] KIndle Fire D01400 TWRP recovery problems

Hello, this is my first post on this forum, though I have lurked on XDA since as far back as my droid eris.
I have looked around the kindle fire forum for the answers I seek, but I have not seen a thread that helps. If I am asking a redundant question, please kindly show me the relevant thread(s) and I will read them.
I was at a small computer store my friend owns in our tiny little town (white hat computer solutions minersville, pa), when a mutual friend and former classmate of ours brought us a Kindle Fire D01400 with a cracked screen he bought off ebay. the previous owner claimed it worked despite the cracked screen, From a hardware standpoint that is quite correct, as you can see everything yet, and the touchscreen responds.
However, they neglected to mention they were selling one that already was modified, it is running TWRP 2.4.4.0 and has an improperly flashed ROM on it ( the stock keyboard crashes, home screen soft key does nothing, gmail works, but google play store does not). sideloading a keyboard app on fixed the keyboard, but the gapps with the exception of gmail don't function. I figured doing a wipe and flash of a new rom and gapps would be a good starting point to attempt to fix this problem.
However when I go into TWRP recovery and try to wipe the system, dalvik, or cache, the operation fails.
I have tried taking the TWRP manager app and sideloading it and using that to update to the latest TWRP. but the version number remains at 2.7.0.1
So my question is, with the above details kept in mind: How exactly do I go about fixing this tablet and making it a functional piece of android hardware for my friend/customer?

Downloading and trying it now. Thanks, I usually do my best to find relevant threads before posting, I am not sure how I missed that one.
Will post back with results as soon as I am done
EDIT:
Flashed it to twrp 2.6.1.0 otter I still can't use the wipe option. tried factory reset figuring i could just push the rom and gapps down using adb again, but factory reset also failed. is there a permission I can reset using adb?

It's not stickied and 'flashable recoveries' can be misleading, but that is what they are called by many.

When it is booted into android, it shows in adb as
Code:
list of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
When I boot into TWRP and execute adb devices i get
Code:
list of devices attached
with no further error messages
In TWRP on the second row at the top, along with the battery level (100%) and time 5:26pm, it says SIMULATING ACTIONS in all caps. is it supposed to say that or should it say something else

Previous owner of the device had the TWRP recovery set to use simulation mode. I was unaware that was even an option since i was not familar with TWRP( my previous android flashing experiences used clockwork) after unchecking those boxes in the advanced settings, I was successfully able to flash a rom and gapps, and everything was perfect after that.
sorry for wasting so much time on this, I really missed something simple on this one.

plug your phone to computer then turn on adb mode. when youre on adb type adb shell then su, then type this
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
there should be a adb msg again on your phone asking you to press ok. then let your pc or laptop install the driver for diagnostic. then open QPST go to software download. there's those stuffs in there telling you to back up or restore your QCN. back it up for me pls in the format of .qcn and .xqcn and don't rename the extension file cuz it will give me an error. thank you man!

Add Mobile Data and Wifi HotSpot toggle without root

Don't want to root your phone but you still want to tweak it? No trouble, you can still use adb shell to change a few settings.
-First, follow this guide to install ADB on your Windows PC: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
-Then, you have to plug your phone to your PC with a USB cable.
-Finally, launch a command line and use this command:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure sysui_qs_tiles "Wifi,SoundMode,Bluetooth,RotationLock,Flashlight,Dnd,custom(com.android.settings/com.samsung.android.settings.qstile.PowerSavingTile),BlueLightFilter,Location,custom(com.samsung.android.app.aodservice/.settings.AODTileService),custom(com.samsung.android.smartmirroring/.tile.SmartMirroringTile),AirplaneMode,custom(com.sec.android.app.soundalive/.DolbyTile),WorkMode,MobileData,Hotspot"
We also may have a way to enable Call Recorder on our phone with ADB Shell but, I'm still trying to figure out how it could be done.

You probably forgot a quotation mark. Please check cmd has been wrote correctly.
