My KF is bricked. It has TWRP on it but it has been wiped clean and my pc will not recognize it. It does in ADB, I keep seeing write the CODE: then stuff. I was told I could to where I needed to write this code by right clicking on the KFU Tools folder. I then get C:\android\Kindle Fire Utility>
Now that being said.. where do I begin to type the fastboot -i Ox1949 and so on. Sure do need some much appreciated help assistance.
Boot into TWRP and then do what Josepho1997 said. Then you can just flash the rom.
The "Rom.zip" would be the file path to wherever the rom is saved on your computer.
Where can I write the tag
Josepho1997 said:
So you just have no OS?
Boot into TWRP. Then Download and transfer the ROM via adb
Code:
adb push Rom.zip /sdcard
Then flash the ROM.

But where do I code?
adb in cmd not recognized as a command
Josepho1997 said:
In cmd. Open up cmd, run adb, and then type that code. And remember what veeman said. When I say Rom.zip, you must put both the correct name and directory applicable to you. (Ex. C:\AlienDroid.zip)

in cmd, adb is not recognized as a internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Know how long it's been since I used cmd. Help me out please.
You need to open the cmd window when you are in the directory that contains the adb.exe file. Usually this is in C:/kfu/tools directory. The easiest way to do that is to use windows explorer and navigate to that directory then press shift and right click your mouse then select the option "open command window here". You should now be able to issue adb commands.

Easiest way is to download the Kindle Fire Utility and then navigate to the tools directory in the command line. Then you can run adb and fastboot commands.
Still won't communicate

I have tried everything to get the computer to see the kindle. adb commands are not working. Just says waiting on device, tried to adb push a rom and it just said device not found.
I was able to bring up a fastboot menu one time but once there it wouldn't respond.
Any ideas please.
I am looking at the TWRP v2.2.0 screen. It will not mount either

Hello, I Have a Kindle Fire 1st Gen. I Had CM 10.1 on it. I was attempting to put AOSP back on it for My Wife. I did I Noobish Move at 4 am half asleep, I Did NOT go into advanced mode in TWRP and uncheck DATA in the Wipe tab. So This Screwed me "Bricked" Message comes up in TWRP when rebooting, says ( NO OS ) . I have Tried Kindle unbrick utility with no success when clicking on "Stuck at Logo" in utility I get this Error ...> PIC Attatched!>
I then Tried Using android-sdk ( I have went in and edited the files that need to be edited in program files/android...> File_android_winusb as well as in .android folder in the appdata location) Along with CMD & I get a Error So far into the process of Resetting Kindle OS. Pic Attatched as well. It Seems Like I have something missing ?!?!?
I somewhat Suck at CMD, I don't have much experience with it, so Please go slow on me,when Giving advise....

If you still have access to TWRP, use it to mount your sdcard to USB.

Oh that's right, it won't work on 2nd generation devices.
Do you have your drivers installed? Are you able to send any adb commands (adb devices)?

My Kindle is a 1st Gen. I'm not sure If I understand what You are talking about when You say "send Commands/devices" If Your talking about in CMD I Get all the way to Seeing my Device Serial Number for Kindle. The when I type "adb shell" I get a error saying (Failed: No such file or directory <2> - ) You can see this in the screen shot I attached to this thread..
Sorry, I looked at what forum this was in and got a little confused...silly me :silly:
Anyway, back on track...
You should not be receiving that error in TWRP. If you are, then something is seriously wrong with it and probably needs to be reinstalled. Other than that, I'm having trouble seeing where the problem is. (the pic shows that you're not in recovery, btw)
You clearly have access to adb, so...why aren't you using 'adb push' to transfer a new ROM to your sdcard to flash in recovery?

I've Done searches and only found how to attempt recovery, typing in commands on pc's CMD Prompt while kindle is mounted to usb in twrp and typing commands in on CMD in pc I installed Android SDK and Device driver. So Sounds possibly what I tried is totally different from what Your asking if i done? If So, Could You Explain step by step thee method with new roms or send me in the right directions 2 a how to link or video? Anything I would appreciate GREATLY! :fingers-crossed:

I have no idea what you're saying.
All you need to do is, boot into recovery (TWRP), use adb to "push" a ROM to your sdcard (adb push...), then install the ROM in recovery.

I mentioned Earlier (say, the Drive of the device is :F) In My computer, When I click :F It states Cannot access (Drivers are installed for kindle). I'm asking How Can I Mount USB in TWRP and Put ROM File on sdcard when I cannot access it... I Do Not have a Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Cable to plug up to kindle with the files put on a external HD to complete this course.
Does that make more since?

Try to understand what you're being told. I'm not saying anything about mounting your sdcard to transfer files to it so get that idea out of your head for a moment.
You need to boot into recovery and use the command 'adb push' to transfer a ROM to your sdcard, then flash it in recovery.
Now, does that make more sense?

I am attempting to understand what u are saying But I'm thinking ur not giving full step after step instructions OR this Version I have (v2.6.0.0) differs from Yours, Because there is No such OPTION as ADB PUSH..... I have ADB sideload (under Advanced Tab) which only wipes Cashe.. I've looked in every single area in TWRP and see nothing of anything You are talking about, other than "MOUNT" obviously.

I'm bout to install a Pc with Linux and try pushing it that way.. Have not tried that.
You don't need Linux to run adb commands *face palm* While I am a linux enthusiast, all he's trying to say is boot into twrp, plug kindle into your PC, and open a command prompt, CD into the directory of adb and run "adb push pathtofile /sdcard/filename" this should push it to the kindle, though their might be something else u need for in prior to this I'm not sure, soupemagnet will probably post back if there is. BTW I don't know if u actually meant u were going to install Linux, but if you don't plan on using it after this or anything in the case u do decide to still use it for this, u don't need to install it, distros like Ubuntu let you boot into a full os from the CD so u don't need to install it.

hello, after some trouble installing the bootloader, I finally got it!!
But I have another problem, I thought it would start no problem then, so here I have no rom in sd!! and now will not start!
I can go into recovery mode, go to the usb storage option, but it does not work, I get on the computer!!
some way to spend a rom to the sd from l recovery / TWRP??????
Put the ROM and gapps in the same folder as an adb command, open a command prompt and CD to the directory with adb, now type something along the lines of this: adb push romname.zip /sdcard/
That should put the ROM on the sdcard so you can flash, use same thing for gapps as well.

Ok do this move everything from the folder platform-tools should be fastboot.exe and adb.exe and a few other files to the root of your c drive....
than open your CMD window as admin... make sure you open as admin... than type
Code:
cd /
to move to the root of you c dirve and then type
Code:
adb
let me know the out come of that....

My kf2 was working fine but I ran out of room to install apps. I deleted unneeded apps still not enough room. I booted into twrp did a full wipe and now I can't side-load any roms to install. Twrp shows no OS installed. It will boot into twrp fine but nothing else. I have a fastboot cable. My computer recognizes my kf2 as an adb device but I can't seen to get anything to load. Some of the commands in KFFAID work but not all. I am trying to load cm11 and kitkat back. Any help would be appreciated.

if sideload doesnt work then just do this, put the rom you want to flash and its gapps in the folder that adb is in, and run this while booted into twrp: adb push romnamegoeshere /sdcard/
then you can install the rom from inside twrp
didn't work

Here is what happened. It said the device was not found. In the device manager it shows adb device under kindle fire.
Look on your task manager and kill every instance of adb.exe that you see and try again, I had that happen before when multiple instances were running. As long as it is in twrp then adb should work. If it continues to not work then uninstall the adb driver and if you see the MTP kindle device still there remove it as well, there might be a composite device that needs removing too, I find it a pita going between fastboot, recovery and whatever ROM os flashed if I use windows because of this, the drivers constantly have to be reinstalled when you change modes for me, hence why I avoid working with my kindle in windows and instead just use Linux. If you see any USB composite devices, check the hardware id's for a vid of 1949, if it has that then feel free to uninstall it. This may sound a bit complex, if you need more of an explanation just tell me.

My computer only recognizes the kindle as an adb device in fastboot mode. I haven't been able to use any of the adb commands on it with any luck. It says device not found. This only shows in kffaid version 4.1.87-beta.
*facepalm* you don't use adb commands with fastboot, you use fastboot commands with fastboot. When it is in twrp it should have adb access though...

I think I have a driver issue. I forgot to thank you for your help. If I could send the zip rom and gapps I could get it back to where it was. Is there anyway to start all over from the original kindle OS at this point?
Thanks you
You coukd restore it in fastboot using kffa but it seems like unnecessary work. I would boot a ubuntu 13.10 live cd/usb and just attempt it from there since there won't be any driver issues.

these commands should do the trick assuming the repos are all active in the downloadable section of the software updates control panel.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
and after that the fastboot command will work but keep in mind to give it superuser privis with sudo or it probably wont work, i had forgotten that recently on my own pc since i don't deal with fastboot too often. ex: sudo fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
I had to work all weekend. I tried to get access through ubuntu 13.10. I used the commands you provided (sudo apt-get update). This command worked fine. When I used this command (sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot) It said I had to enable universe. I did some research and got that working and tried to use this command again (sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot) then this one worked fine. Then I tried the last command with my kindle in fastboot mode flashing green light (sudo fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product ). The message was cannot connect to otter-2 ... device. Same thing I have been getting all along.
I think when I wiped the system I cleared all the software to connect to any external device. I don't know if I can even get access to restore the original OS. If you haven't guessed by now I an a noob. I think you realized that with my adb commands with fastboot enabled. I got the impression you knew when I saw the *facepalm* comment the the beginning of you post. When my kindle is booted to twrp my computer does not recognize it. My computer will recognize as an adb device when in fastboot mode. My computer will recognize it as a kindle (with a yellow triangle in the device manager) when it is trying to boot with the white and blue logo. I don't know what to do at this point. Here is a screen shot with adb side load from twrp.
Interesting, seems that data didn't want to mount. Have you tried adb from Linux while in twrp? Just run "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb" to install the command, if you can get adb access at least then I may be able to help fix this depending on what exactly is wrong. BTW I didn't exactly think you were a noon with that facepalm, I just see people get that misconception a lot about adb and fastboot commands. What exactly did that fastboot command report back, I was surprised it was an error when I saw otter2 in the error considering that was what that command was sort of supposed to report back.

Here is where I am. See below. Now where do I put the file in ubuntu so I can access it from the terminal window. I am running ubuntu from a live CD. I tried the push command but it says no such file or directory. I told you I was a noob!
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF recovery
Since adb is in a system path must out it in the current directory you are CD'd into, if you left the terminal alone it should be in ~ (the home folder of the Ubuntu account) so photo the home folder and drop it in there and run "adb push filename /sdcard/"
Considering that /data doesn't want to mount and that /sdcard os technically in /data, that command might not work depending on what's going on. I reccomend seeing if you can first and if not goto the months and mount /cache if its not mounted already, and they pushing a twrp update into it to try to reflash twrp, its small enough I think it should fit into the cache, though I don't think a ROM would fit.

Um OK well the filenames are case sensitive in Linux so lookout for that. Also if it was in your home folder then it should have worked as long as you didn't CD anywhere else in the terminal first.

Problem Fixed
I fixed my problem. I had to restart my kindle into recovery mode and connect the fastboot cable to the computer and kindle before it booted into TWRP. At that point while booted into TWRP I used the push command in ebuntu terminal to sideload cm11 and gapps. After I loaded them I installed them with TWRP and rebooted. Now it is restored to where it was when I wiped it. I will not do the advanced wipe again.
adb push cm-11-20140202-NIGHTLY-otter2.zip /sdcard/
adb push gapps-kk-20131119.zip /sdcard/
Thanks for your help stunts513
