So I bought a used kindle that had been previously rooted and running TWRP and FFF. Stuff keeps force closing so I wanted to revert to stock to start "fresh" and root myself. Followed the guide here and Tomsgt123's youtube tutorial but I keep getting an error message when trying to flash the update.zip file. Here's a pic of the log can someone help me please?

Im not sure but i think twrp version 2.5.0.0 is unstable so i would suggest reflashing and older version through adb or twrp somehow. It may solve your problem

Thanks Kfire21. That tutorial didn't work but it did help me figure out what was going on from others who posted issues there.
You're correct twrp 2.5 for some reason will not flash the stock zip. So what i had to do was install the other recovery option in KFU, COMR or something like that can't remember the name at the moment but it's the option below TWRP in KFU. Worked like a charm. Hope this helps jmtems

i personally installed COTR because TWRP has problems with creating backups
Did you guys rename the Update file?
That got me a few times until I remembered to change it.

i updated it to modaco 6.2.2, don't know why but did a factory reset in the settings menu. it deleted everything. only left with twrp folder, still able to get into recovery. tried reflashing modaco zip, but says unable to open zip.
can i flash a stock rom?
Yes you should probably flash something. That's why you always make a backup

made a backup and it erased that too. just tried cm7 with no success. will keep trying.
Ok, This happened to me on my DHD, Try to fastboot a recovery and flash it. Use the one doomlord made then Flash. BUT before you do that make sure to have the update on your sdcard.
every zip i tried says installed then when u reboot system it goes directly back twrp

I followed these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20438599&postcount=1 I've never tried it with a pre-rooted ROM, so YMMV. Like I said I flashed this and started the root process over from scratch and this is what worked.

I was on TWRP 2.4.0.0 and CM10.1. Just upgraded to TWRP 2.6.0.0 by flashing the zip file. However, in recovery, the version says 2.4.4.0, not 2.6.0.0.
Anybody has a similar situation?
Sorry I still cannot post on the dev section so I have to post this here.
But many thanks to Hashcode!
I don't know bout the 8.9 inch model, but the other da when he released the 7 inch model version, he had a 1 character typo in the zip file somewhere, and it was acting like a successful flash, and it really wasn't flashing anything. Maybe it happened on the 8.9 inch version too and you got a release from before the fix or something. Maybe hashcode will see this and respond.
Edit: wait your recovery jumped from 2.4.0.0 to 2.4.4.0? I missed that when I first read the post. Maybe u somehow dl'd the wrong one cause that's old.
Edit2: this is also appearing on his thread. I'd follow it and see what he says.

Same problem here. I ended up extracting the .img and flashing it manually. You can do this with an app called Flashify as well.

I found that using Fireflash to update twrp was very easy and straightforward. read more about it here. you can update your version of CM using this utility too(make sure you do a good backup first )

Wow, thanks for the tip. Just spent 30 mins trying to figure out adb so I could update my Kindle Fire TWRP to 2.6.
My goomanager kept downloading 2.6 and telling me that it was installed successfully, but then when I rebooted it was still 2.1.1 or 2.2.1 or whatever it was.
Flashify did the trick in 15 seconds.
Thanks again.
I am trying to install twrp 2.6.3.0 using a one click method that I found to work for others. I am rooted and it appears everything should work but I keep getting this blinking prompt and the process does not move any further. In all the directions it says to just follow the multiple prompts but I can't seem to get past this. Does anyone know what this means or what I could be doing wrong? Anyone else hit the same speed bump?

That is an adb shell running under superuser on your tablet. There may be some script it wants you to run on the tablet. I personally am using CWM so I don't know all that much about TWRP (I didn't even put CWM on mine, I had a friend come over and help with that). So I know what that is but not why you have it or what you should do with it. Sorry.

Why install 2.6.3.0? If you look at the thread in the Original Android Development subforum, there are easy instructions for installing TWRP 2.6.3.2 using the Flashify app. Why not try that?

Because nobody reads anything anymore. They just piecemeal together instructions from other devices and what they think will work and then cry and complain when it doesn't when they didn't follow instructions in the first place.
I will admit I did work all day and picked the v500 up the same day and just wanted to go home and have it just gel. Stayed up really late trying to put pieces together but for people unfamiliar with command prompts and such the "easy" methods can just come off as foreign. I used this post as a last resort. I appreciate people who create one click methods but if it wasn't for newbs then what would be the point of them at all? A guy has to start somewhere and learn as he goes.

I'm not sure what you want at this point. Did you go to the TWRP thread in the Original Android Development subforum? If so, find the link for TWRP 2.6.3.2 and download it to your PC. Move the file to your G Pad. Download the Flashify app from the Play Store. Open the app, and navigate to "Flash Recovery". Navigate to the file that you downloaded and flash it. That's it. And if you have more questions, ask them in the TWRP thread.
P.S., before you make any other significant changes to your device, please read through the forum. You'll save yourself some serious future pain.
Wow so much easier! Thanks a lot man. Note to self: dont try to do this stuff at 3am, save it for the daytime ha.

Do you get this when you do a normal reboot or when you reboot from recovery? Do you have root working? Any other problems.

Get Flashify and install it . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349847.
Then go here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551499.
Download the apropriate file ( V50010a /b /c , depending of what version you have on you tab ) then you will have to rename the file to TWRP.img , then download http://goo.gl/UlPy11 wich is the flashable TWRP.ZIP.
Now copy those two files for you SD or externalSD.
Run flashify and select Recovery Image and use the file you renamed to TWRP.img and flash it,don´t reboot yet, select ZIP File and flash v500-TWRP_2.6.3.1-recovery.zip , wich the flashable zip you´ve downloaded second.
Now reboot and you should have your recovery.

Hey there. Recently ordered myself an N1. Love it. got the CM Edition as I was going to use CM anyway, but a couple of issues have arisen.
Firstly, O-Click doesn't seem to work with CM, is that known and is there a fix?
And secondly, I have purchased a few root apps on the play store, but I can't seem to root the N1 with the APK Exploit that was posted here. Is there any known way to root the device?
Also, is it safe to flash CM11 on the CM recovery?
Cheers for any help!

I haven't tried it, and I doubt that I will. I know that TWRP runs very well on just about everything that I've thrown at it with the N1 so far. If you try that recovery out, please post your findings in that thread so others know what to expect.

No, i don't mean PhilZ. I ordered the CM limited Edition version of the N1, which came with a CyanogenMod recovery rather than Oppo's recovery. (Use volume buttons to navigate) It's not a touch recovery. Which is the main reason I wish to install TWRP, but I understand you need to root for that?
As for the o-click, is there any fix? Yes CM may have fixed it but not on the OTA update :/
Edit: I accidentally selected 'Reboot into Bootloader' rather than the recovery, and now my device is stuck on the "###fastboot..." screen. (Replace ### with 3 Chinese letters that I don't know ) I have no idea what to do. No buttons seem to do anything. :/
Edit2: Fixed by holding VolUp + Power
You can fastboot flash twrp, then flash supersu.zip for root. If it still doesn't work you need to go into cm settings and turn off the cm root preference so it accepts the supersu app

I tried flashing supersu with the CM recovery but it failed to flash. It's it due to the recovery or something else? Also, is there a tutorial of how to flash with fast boot somewhere? Cheers for the help guys! Really appreciate it!

Hey guys so i rooted my G3 using purple drake a while back and i remember not being able to create a back up it just stays in TWRP recovery forever. I was wondering if somone could point me in the right direction here because im a little skeptical about trying to flash a rom and my recovery not working.
I am still on D85110c so im thinking that maybe when i rooted it TWRP wasnt fully supported?
Thanks guys
No problem with twrp and 10c. Do you follow purple Drake steps correctly?
