Develop Bugs

[Q] Made a mistake, stuck in TWRP

Whats good XDA community?
I dont know exactly what happened (I bugged this little dude out awhile ago I've just been too lazy to fix it) but now that I want to flash my kindle fire back to the original... I cant seem to. It seems I've wiped the ICS rom I had running on it and now when I hit the power button(and dont boot into TWRP 2.0) it just loads a blank black screen. Also, I cant seem to mount my kindle via the TWRP mount option, do I need the android debug bridge for this? I changed computers recently so I dont have any of the tools that I had when flashing this the first go around(for the record I'm on a mac).
Thanks for your help, my first post so please be kind

I guess you didn't make a nandroid backup? You don't need adb to mount the SD partition though, If you can i would try a different computer because when you mount SD through TWRP you should have no problem accessing the SD on your computer and dropping a ROM or in this case the update.zip from here
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620
since you are already wiped, all you will need to do is rename this .bin file to update.zip and install like a normal ROM. you will then be left with an unrooted, stock version of the kindle fire (without TWRP or FFF also)

TWRP loop and KFU problems

I just got a Kindle Fire from a relative that wanted root access, and have performed several in the past without incident. When I was trying to use KFU to root with Superuser ("#2 option"), I accidentally bumped my booby-trapped keyboard's sleep mode button which shut off the monitor. When I turned it back on, I didn't realize my wifi disconnected and I entered option #2 to root (I'm not even sure internet access is relevant to the process). I immediately got errors which caused my Kindle Fire to get stuck at the splash screen. Using KFU, I changed the boot back to normal with option #1. Upon resuming root w/ superuser (that is, after selecting #2), it started rebooting and whatnot but got hung up at a point. KFU says "Attempt to remove root checker. / mv: can't rename 'system/bin/check_rooted': No such file or directory. / Please wait..." and never finishes. Meanwhile, my Kindle is stuck on the TWRP screen with Install, backup, etc. and won't move past. I have never experienced this screen before with the other roots that I have done; it just moves right into normal display after KFU does it's thing. Being the self-proclaimed techy that I erroneously think I am, I rolled up my sleeves and immediately googled a bootloop fix that seemed to be common with TWRP (command prompt > "adb shell" > changing boot to 4000), but I couldn't get the results the original poster got (I switched my environmental variables to allow for it, but still nothing). Against my better judgement, I will include that I got TWRP to let me into normal Kindle Fire operations and I factory reset it (which is fine, because it was factory to begin with) but TWRP is still showing up. I would have just played it safe and handed it back to my relative without root, but I'm not sure they could get past TWRP boot, and I wouldn't even want to do that to them if it was unavoidable. I have included everything I think was relevant to my troubles, and would be greatly appreciative if someone can glean from what I've done my level of understanding and guide me through this BS. A routine magic trick that I share with my less-tech-savvy family and friends has turned into a headache. To be clear, my question is how do I either A) get rid of TWRP (which seems like taboo from what I've read so far), or B) get back to a condition where I can start the whole rooting process over without interruptions, as I feel that is why I am in this mess. The goal is to get the Kindle Fire to a point where all my relative has to do is turn it on and go (no TWRP screens, bootloops, etc.) I can handle what follows after KFU rooting (namely, installing google market.....nothing like CM7 and the like.) Thank you.:good:

Yeah, sorry. I just wanted to be complete, and I wasn't sure how much information would end up being useful. I'll let you know how it goes, and thanks for the reply!

Try this...
Acquire FireFireFire 1.4.zip and transfer it to your sdcard. Boot into twrp and install FireFireFire1.4.zip. Search the FFF thread for information on how to use it. I think that will either fix most of your problems or set it up to fix them easily

At the risk of coming off ignorant, I am going to clarify what I need to do so I don't dig my hole even deeper. Please excuse me
I used the first link to download FFF. It came with the folders "cache" and "META-INF" and the single file "padfile". I assume mounting the SD card needs to be done through the TWRP screen, or do you mean on the Kindle Fire itself? Which part of the FFF download needs to be transferred to the SD card; the contents of "cache" or "META-INF", the padfile, or all of it? Do I just drop it onto the SD card, or does it have to be put somewhere special?
I understand how to get into Recovery mode on TWRP, and I will again assume that I need to mount the sd card in TWRP. What contents from the second link (Modaco) do I need to put on sd card, and where (if somewhere special)? It downloaded as a .zip, so should I just leave it that way and drop it onto the sd card?
I saw on TWRP where to wipe everything you mentioned, so I think I got it covered there. Also how to install flash rom.
You mentioned that Modaco already has google play, so I am going to also assume that this will conclude the fix, unless something unexpected pops up. I will try to work through your suggestion, but if you can let me know if any of my understanding is incorrect, I would be very much obliged!
I see that the SD mounting will probably come from within TWRP itself, since I will need to use "Install" for the rom flash, but I am still confused as to how to transfer it over and where it needs to go inside of SD card if there are any special rules for it.

Do not unzip the file! Place the .zip file on your sdcard as is and install it with twrp as you would a rom...no wipes

Are you referring to your own suggestion soupmagnet, or my question about what to do with the FFF or Modaco .zip? If it's a reply to my question, should I just leave both of them zipped, or just the Modaco one, or what? How do I place them on my SD card for that matter? Through TWRP (which I don't think I know how to do) or onto the Kindle Fire directory on My Computer? I've never installed anything with TWRP; in the past, I've never had to use the screen that I'm seeing now ;p Should I not use any wipes as the first reply suggested? I am confusing myself at this point.

fff you flash in zip form you don't unzip it no wipes needed a rom you wipe prior and then flash in zip form as well

I am seeing on the Modaco website that wipe is not required.

Not for you ... you must wipe...

This is what I'm about to do as succinct as I can be (as per Thepooch's instructions):
1. Download FFF from the first link. Keep it .zip
2. Transfer FFF by mounting SD within TWRP menu.
3. Flash fff
4. Power off.
5. Enter Recovery TWRP.
6. Mount SD again, then transfer .zip Modaco (not the alt version)
7. Wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system.
8. Install Modaco rom
9. Reboot
10. Give to family member and refuse all other requests

Flash fff before powering off.. flash fff before powering off or rebooting guess that better

Crap we made it to thread page 2. I really didn't mean to make this harder than it had to be, I just wanted to be sure of what needed to be done. Thanks again gents for all the input

Mmm, incredible Everything appears to be in order. No TWRP screen and Google Play is included. Thank you so much for the fix. Not completely sure what went wrong, but glad you knew how to get around it. Omne ignotum pro magnifico!
Solved.:highfive:

OK now try to access recovery again to make sure the bootloader works as it should
---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------
Also now create a backup something you could not do before because I believe the system was broken

Entered recovery without any problems. Created a backup, as well. Every boot since has gone straight to Kindle Fire; no TWRP menu Excellent, because it would have been a pain to explain that whole process to my relative. Great stuff!

Glad it worked everyone's happy no harm done

Help!
Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I came across this thread because I was having and identical problem, but unfortunately, I am not having the same result. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. These are the steps I carried out based on what I got from this thread.
1. Downloaded fff-u-boot_v1.4a and Gr9.2-update-modacocustomrom-kindlefire-unsigned-MD5 zip, placed it on the root of the SD card
2. In TWRP, I entered install and selected the zip.
3. From that screen I hit reboot.
4. I went to Reboot->Recovery
5. Wiped factory reset, cache, dalvik, system.
6. Installed Gr9.2-update-modacocustomrom-kindlefire-unsigned-MD5-569fe6550cfcfba68dabc3d088324a46.zip file
8. Rebooted...
But after all this it went right back into TWRP. I am sure I am just missing something obvious, please help.

You almost got it. When you install a ROM and want to boot to it from recovery, select "reboot system". You can still change your bootmode on the fly with FFF1.4 by holding the power button when you see the Kindle Fire logo until you see the boot options appear at the bottom.

TWRP and FFF Installed; Cannot Boot Fully

Thanks in advance for the help. Like many others I have searched for something similar to what I am experiencing but have not had luck finding it. So here goes my "special" situation:
Background:
-I use a PC with Windows 7 installed
-I downloaded KFU (v. 0.9.6) and ran install_drivers
-Connected KF and ran "run"
-Selected Option 2 for a Permanent Root with Superuser
-I am not sure if this step fully worked because during the root it seemed like my PC and KF disconnected from each other and my PC flashed a message about "smartphone no attached" that I didn't catch the exact verbiage of
-I restarted my KF and found myself in the TWRP (v. 2.2.0) interface
-Followed directions from another post and selected "reboot" and then "system"
-This worked and it loaded the familiar KF home screen
-From here I again ran the "run" file from KFU
-This time I selected Option 6 for extras, then Option 1 for Google Apps / Go Launcher Ex
-The ADB Status was Online and away the install went
-Here I am not totally sure what happened, but I believe a similar problem happened as before with m PC and KF losing connection during install
-Either way, I landed on the KF boot screen (blue Fire, which implies I have FFF installed v. 1.4);
-It was stuck here so I tried the Unbrick Utility and several other suggestions from posts and was once again able to get back to the TWRP interface
-Here, I thought I had everything figured out and again navigated to "reboot" and then "system"
-This time however, I did not go back to the KF home screen and instead got right back to the TWRP interface
-It almost seemed like it tried to load the home screen (yellow word "fire"); but quickly restarted again and went back to the blue fire and then the TWRP interface
-From here, I have tried several different approached to no avail, but here is the state I am in to the best of my knowledge:
1. It appears I have FFF and TWRP installed
2. I may or may not have the Google Aps installed
3. My drivers are all still installed, but the only time my computer recognizes it is the split second when the yellow word "fire" comes up on a system reboot.
I think I am close, but maybe not. Any help is greatly appreciated and let me know if I need to provide more information. Tried to be thorough but this is my first crack at this.

Thanks for getting back to me once more. I did try the directions Thepooch gave me exactly and no connection. Mounting did not allow my KF to connect. I also went into Linux and tried your code to get my KF to connect to my PC. I am no pro, but it seemed your first script just displayed a string and was rather frustrating. Inside one of the folders appeared to be a more complete script (with options 1 and 2) that your "READ ME" instructions hinted at (install_it file). I must be missing something. Would you be willing to provide more guidance on the Linux connection?
I appreciate all the help.

Yeah double click on runit then run in terminal.... Hit selection number 1 hit enter when it prompts for password... let it finish. ...Then hit selection number 2.... Then enter a y hit enter it will reboot.. Then try adb devices in a terminal..

SOLVED!

Thanks to both of you for all the help! These little added details helped me through the home stretch. I still did not use the ""run_it.sh" script in terminal. I went straight to the "install_it.sh" file. I then followed your directions and had no troubles. The only change I had to do was manually toggle by booting selection after it kept rebooting to TWRP.

I think I'm going to have to change the title of that thread. I really did have faith in people.
There are instructions in that thread and in the README, and nowhere does it say to run any script other than "run_it.sh". There are separate sets of scripts for good reason.
If you had paid attention to the OP, you would have found what to do in your particular situation.

[Q] Kindle fire Soft-bricked( i assume)

So recently, i was trying to install a custom rom and accidentally deleted the external storage. now, when i try to boot it is stuck at the TWRP
Kindle Fire logo. i can go into TWRP boot menu, but my computer won't recognize my kindle since it can never fully boot. how do i unbrick/ reset if i cannot connect to my computer? This is probably a post redone multiple times but if anyone could link me or help me out i would appreciate it very much. i will try to answer any/all feedback asap and thank you.

I know clockwork mod gives you the option to mount storage in recovery. Idk about twrp. Boot it up and see. I'm not familiar with the kindle fire but I'd it has an SD card slot you can pur the SD in your PC, copy the ROM.zip file over to it, stick it back in the kindle and flash the ROM from twrp.

Thanks for helping! Unfortunately, kindle fire has no SD slot or external storage.
i believe that i am using twrp v2.2.2.1 if that helps anyone.
I Haven't deleted my OS because it says i have 5000 mb free out of 8000, but im still not sure what the problem is

Reboot into your twrp recovery and see if you have the option to mount storage. If you do, do it. Drop the ROM onto your storage and flash via twrp.

The image isn't all that great. I can make out a TWRP folder at the top. If this is the root to your device, all you would have to do is drag and drop the downloaded ROM into this location, power your device down, reboot into TWRP recovery and choose to install ROM from SD or whatever it is, navigate to the rom and choose to install it.
Edit: I believe I see a text file for fix permissions, a recovery.img file and an update file for the kindle fire...

Before you go to far you are not bricked. Just simply select mount then hit the big button drag and drop a rom zip and gapp zip to your sdcard.Do all the wipes minus your external storage/sdcard after unmounting then flash rom and then gapps, select reboot then system if prompted.
Edit: And don't flash that bin file or you will have nothing but problems.

Any luck on un-bricking your soft bricked kindle?

Yeah, i was trying to restore it by flashing the update but i looked through my files on my kindle and it wasnt there

The blue Kindle Fire logo and boot menu you see is not TWRP, it's FireFireFire.
What happens when you select "reset boot mode"? "recovery"?

Since you are on CM10, you can get GAPPS from their website.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Gapps#Google_Apps
You want the GAPPS for CM10. Good choice in ROM IMO.
Edit: You flash GAPPS from your Kindle this way:
1. Download GAPPS from the link above
2. Scroll Down on the notification bar at the top
3. Tap the GAPPS.ZIP file
4. ROM Manager Opens
5. Leave the bottom box checked and tap OK
6. TAP OK again and the device will reboot into recovery and install GAPPS

[Q] Please help kf stuck

Hi everyone, First let me say I am not tech savvy but I will try my best to explain whats wrong with my kindle fire. I just got a kf yesterday and today I broke it. I downloaded [Root][TWRP][FFF][CWM]Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6 and it went fine but a little while after I booted to the screen twrp recovery screen and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to wipe )cache,dalvik cache,factory reset,system,and external storage) I thought this would just free up space on my kf but when I tried to boot it after I did this it went to the boot screen with the word (Fire) in blue then the screen goes black and the same screen is ther with the word (Fire) in blue. After that the regular boot screen poops up with the word (Fire) in orange and this is where the kf gets stuck and wont do anything. When I try to rerun the kindle fire utility it cant find my device but it could find it before I wiped everything.
I don't know what to do. I can get back to the twrp recovery and that's it.There are things I can click on but I don't know what they mean and what to do. The things I can click on are (install,backup,restore,wipe,mount,settings,advanced,reboot).
I don't know if it matters but i am using windows vista
Thank yous for any help I will really appreciate it as I don't have really any money and saved to get this kf and was so happy to have it but now feel so dumb and very sad for breaking it and I am sorry if this question has been answered before or if I didn't explain it very well.

Connect your kindle to your pc, enter recovery, select mount there should be checks in the boxes of sdcard and cache, hit the big mount button hopefully you should see whats left of your sdcard contents on your computer screen. Drag and drop this rom zip into that window http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 not that altrom that is for dual booting. When finished select unmount, unplug your Kindle wipe everything except your external storage/ sdcard, select install and tap on the rom zip you just transferred, swipe to flash. When it`s done select reboot system. Initial boot will take a bit be patient. Good luck.

When finished select unmount, unplug your Kindle wipe everything except your external storage/ sdcard, select install and tap on the rom zip you just transferred, swipe to flash. When it`s done select reboot system. Initial boot will take a bit be patient. Good luck.

Okay I just downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 and I plugged in my kindle fire and the only thing I see when I mount my kindle is a twrp folder,Back up folder,and a folder with a bunch of 0000000000's also two things Fix_permissions & recovery so where should I drop the file? Or am I screwed that I don't see my sdcard? Thank you for the help I really appreciate it.

Okay I think I got it but I am at the swipe to confirm flash but there are 2 boxes that are not checked (zip file signature verification? & Force md5 check on all zips?) should I check them or leave them unchecked? Once again thank you for the help.

No checks needed just wipe and flash drop the zip in the window don't place it in any of the folders just out in the open. Its very good that your sdcard will mount if it didn't you would have big problems I don't forsee you having any trouble getting it going. Flash the ROM in zip form do not extract it.

You're welcome now enter recovery and create a backup the default selections are fine. Now you have Google play in your apps as well.

Just created the backup and I so happy to have the google play store that is the whole reason I tried to root my kf

Not to hijack my own thread but now that I have the google play store does this mean I can switch to the android interface? And if so how? Thanks for all the help.
