[Q] Gederom serious problem here help me pls!

first of all thanks for the excellent rom.since im just trying out this new rom,im intending to change my rom back to modaco gr8 after trying out for some time.
But here's the trouble here.i always can't seem to access twrp through my kf.Each time what i did was i connect my device with USB to the pc and use kfu to reflash twrp to gain access.
But now with this gederom,my pc can't seems to detect my kf and it keeps saying driver is needed.
So what can i do now to once again gain access to twrp??
please please help me im really panic now.

I had to read this post a couple of times just to make sure I'm not going crazy. So you have been using the KFU to REFLASH recovery every time you want access to it?!
I'm not going to be nice and not say what I really want to say. But do yourself (and everyone here) a huge favor and thouroghly read this thread...

sorry first one still can't open.
I know once i reboot my kf i have to either long press or press twice to get my switch into orange colour to get into recovery mode.
But since mine is not the fire triangle anymore (its an android doll on top of the 'kindle fire' logo.i doesn't know why mine is this version but i've read alot with this also ). i couldn't access recovery through the aforementioned method anymore.i tried to ask many people even natmile on facebook and i've got no confirmation from them until now.
i did do some readings including the one for the beginners and i do search for my problem on why i can't access to my recovery.But i just can't find an answer.really need your help.

The "yellow triangle" logo is the FireFireFire bootloader (version 1.2). The "kindle fire" logo with android is also the FireFireFire bootloader (version 1.3). Recovery selection for both versions is the same, only the time span given for you to make the selection has been reduced in v1.3. My guess is that you are not pressing the power button at the right time to make the selection.
This is the thread for FFF v1.3...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1541043
In the first post, it gives you directions on how to make the recovery selection...
Recovery Selection - As the Kindle Fire boots up, the power button LED will change from bright green to a dim green. Once it changes to a dim green, press the power button again and release (repeat a few times to be sure). The LED will then change to an orange color indicating recovery selection and boot into recovery.​
Personally, I keep my fingernail on the button and as soon as the reflection goes dim, I press/release several times. If you want to be absolutely sure, keep pressing/releasing until the LED goes orange. This always works for me without fail. If the LED goes orange and it doesn't get to recovery, something is wrong with your recovery.
As far as gedeROM goes, look in the notification area and make sure it says "Android debugging enabled" when you have it hooked up to your computer. If you still can't send it adb commands, then it's likely a device driver issue. Read the second post of the first link soupmagnet gave you.

That is a very important piece of information that would have been useful from the beginning. There is no reason for the new version of FireFireFire (Kindle fire logo w/android) to work any differently from the old one (yellow triangle) in regards to entering recovery.
Try reinstalling FireFireFire to see if that fixes the problem.

Try fastboot mode in KFU. Option 1, when it show <waiting for device> then connect the KF, hold down the power button untill it shut down, and hold button again to turn it on.
If you can somehow get to fastboot, try flash TWRP again.
Sine you can get in to FFF, I strongly believe that it's still alive.

I think you need to go in to device manager and uninstall the drivers and reinstall the drivers . Try it out

i tried using kfu and use fastboot.but can't detect.
since gedeROM design to change our kf into galaxy tab,can i manually change and allows the pc to detect my kf as a kindle fire?Then probably i would have access to kfu.
btw i tried pressing the button but still couldn't access twrp through device.

You're in a pretty tricky spot. Apparently, the way GedeROM was set up, it is causing problems with adb connecting. But it all boils down to a driver issue. You need to somehow get into twrp to flash a different rom and see if it is the rom causing your original problem. But without access to recovery or USB debugging, I can't think of anything that will help you.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling your device drivers until you can get a connection long enough to change your bootmode to 5001 in order to get back into recovery.
You need to be able to get a solid connection with adb and fastboot to further troubleshoot your problem and it looks like you can't do that with the rom you're using.

I have the same problem, loaded GedeROM got in fatboot, and now I am stuck.

okay.somehow i've managed to get USB mass storage working.But KFU still shows offline.
But then i found out if i ask the kfu to help me boot to recovery it may still works.But can i do this and get to recovery and flash back my modaco?
Or should i manually flash my twrp again?

Flash MoDaCo to see if that helps. If not, reflash twrp. If not still, reflash firefirefire.

very nervous...i flash twrp again and i get to boot into recovery.omg....now im restoring into my modaco backup...hope it works.
Btw my kfu status is now 'online'
thanks so much soupmagnet!
But what if my kf still can't access twrp,should i do everything from the start manually?

ADB Not Working After GedeROM
I've been using the 28-04-2012 GedeROM all weekend, and it works fine, but I still haven't been able to get ADB working. I checked Android Debugging under Developer Options. On my PC, the KF only shows up in my Device Manager as a Disk Drive with the designation "Am", not as an ADB device, and the ADB Devices command doesn't show any devices attached. My computer thinks its an empty disk drive (no data). I have a regular Windows x86 PC. I try and try but I can't re-install any other driver to get the PC to recognize it.
Funny thing-- I tried recovering my stock system and data from TWRP (after factory wiping GedeROM), and it didn't work, I just get a dim lit screen on reboot. GedeROM re-installed ok, so I'm not too upset, just wondering why I can't go back.
I searched around on the lists but didn't see any idea that worked. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks- Roger

ADB on GedeROM
Thanks for the advice Kinfauns, I'll read your article and try to reinstall the drivers again tonight. I did try over the weekend, checked the drivers, made sure they didn't change somehow, but the system wouldn't accept the drivers-- either "not better than what is already installed", or "can't find any drivers". My PC seems to recognize the KF as a disk drive, not as an ADB or Android device, so it's like the PC isn't even looking for my driver to be a suitable driver for the "Am" disk drive.
Thanks for your help!

[Q] Root Gone Wrong

I attempted to root my kindle fire and halfway through the rooting processes somehow the Kindle Fire got disconnected. I am now stuck at the splash screen that displays the white and orange Kindle Fire logo and it will not get past this screen. Nothing else happens its just the static logo. I went online and ordered a fast boot cable and attempted to fix it that way but it still will not work and remains on the static splash screen. The computer does not even seem to recognize that it's plugged in nor is it listed in the device manager. I have scoured countless forums trying to find a solution to unbrick my Kindle Fire. Any suggestions on how to get it back and working? I've even searched this forum countless times and cannot find anything that will work! Please help!

As long as your laptop can detect..you are save... do the following and try:
1. Reboot your kindle and insert usb cable.
2. Start KFU on your PC
3. Once the Kindle Fire logo appear, at your laptop KFU, quickly hit "1" for Boot Menu, and then hit "1" again for Normal Boot.

I faced the same issue and I precisely had done what ataraxist has suggested.
On your laptop, you might also need to install the drivers which come along with KFU.

That is precisely what works unless something is broken.

Thanks to all that replied! I will be trying this tonight and will let you know if I am able to get it to work! Thanks again!

Try it again, only this time when you get "waiting for device", hold the power button until it shuts off and start it up again. You may have to repeat the process until you have a custom bootloader installed.

Tried it for almost half an hour with it sitting and trying to reboot, no such luck. My laptop is running Windows 8, and it makes the "usb plugged in connection" sound but then it won't let me install the driver for it. I have the driver installed on my Windows 7 desktop, but the KF is not recognized as being plugged in by my desktop.

Yeah, Windows 8 won't work. Boot a Linux LiveUSB and run SoupKit to eliminate Windows driver issues altogether.

FIXED!
Thanks to all that replied! The Soupkit worked! Loaded Ubuntu 12.10 onto a flashdrive, downloaded Soupkit ran it, it took a few reboots but then it finally ran TWRP and I was able to wipe and install the 6.3.1 upload and all is working now! Thanks a ton once again!

Rooted Kindle Fire Bricked

Yesterday I wanted to connect my rooted Kindle Fire to my computer to sync books onto. I would connect it with a micro USB and the notification would come up to connect the kindle to my computer and I did as i always have. Only this time the kindle said it was connected but my computer shows no external devices in Computer except in the bottom right an option to Safely Remove USB Device is still their while my computer does not recognize it. After restarting the Kindle and my computer multiple times i tried using several different micro USB cords. After giving up I decided to factory reset it in the Kindle setting. It reset and started to reboot and it froze on the Orange and white Kindle Fire logo after the blue and white bootmenu. My Kindle Version is 6.3.1 and TWRP is 2.1.1. Every time i try to open normal boot mode and reset boot mode it would freeze and the only thing that is working is Recovery mode. I figured that something went wrong so i tried to wipe the system from TWRP and reboot it but the same thing happens. After searching for an answer i came here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1977311 I read it and tried to mount my Kindle as a usb device but it still will not show up on my computer. So now i am left with a bricked Kindle Fire and can't connect it to my computer to try and fix it. If anyone can help PLEASE!!!! respond as soon as possible!

Reinstall drivers from kfu.
Then try mounting USB through twrp again.
It also appears that the computer recognizes the kindle but you can't see it in computer? Go to the device manager on your computer, and see what your kindle is recognized as.
Even if you can't get your computer to fully recognize it as a mass storage device, try to push through the steps in kfu. If kfu says " waiting for device" restart the kindle.

I know its too late now but never ever do a factory reset from settings if you are rooted .sounds to me like u have a soft brick and should be able to get it back especially if you can still get into twrp you also need to make sure its a first gen kindle and not a second gen. The second gen kindles have locked bootloaders and have to be rooted differently than a first gen

Luckily you have FFF installed (blue & white KF logo). The orange & white logo is the stock boot animation. Typically this would be a big problem, but you have FFF and access to recovery so all is well.
You need to download a ROM and get it to your sdcard so you can flash it in recovery. If you want to keep using stock, I'd suggest using MoDaCo rather than attempting to revert to stock as that would only compound your problems.
You have a couple options but considering you can't get your sdcard mounted to USB, you may be looking at bigger problems. Try to "adb push" the ROM to your sdcard. If for some reason when you navigate to the sdcard in recovery, you only see a single TWRP folder and nothing else, you'll have to reformat...maybe even repartition (easier than it seems).

"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh"

cm10 logo stuck, boot status unknown, ect

ok first here is my problem
I have a Kindle fire that is stuck at the boot logo for cm10 from what ive found out due to not clearing the cache prior to rebooting
also with KFU running and the KF hooked up it reads adb status online and boot status unknown. when hooked up through the regular usb cable it goes through to the cm10 boot logo and is recognized by the computer and kfu
when hooked up trhough the factory cable its neither recognized by my computer or KFU and only stays at the kidlefire orange and white logo.
NOW how i got here
little sister got the KF and of course wanted more out of it. rooted and installed twrp and proceeded to flash roms through twrp SHE DIDNT INSTALL FFF. she said she got it stuck first on the AOSP? boot logo also what we later found out from not clearing the cache. then was able to get in through KFU to reboot back up to recovery and flash back to factory setting but still with twrp installed. well then went on to flash cm10 again without clearing the cache AFTER flashing the final gapps before rebooting and got it stuck yet again at the boot logo.
so with her being out of town i wanted to fix it for her so i got a factory cable and what not but wanted to try first through kfu so i hook it up and its recognized and what not well when i go to push 1 for bootmodes i accidently hit 4 i think and starting installing twrp AGAIN while it was STUCK at the cm10 boot logo. and that was the last thing that got me stuck to where the boot status isnt noticed
WHAT IVE TRIED. everything
kfu doesnt find the file for bootmodes now so i tried command prompts and thats saying device offline
so i got a factory cable and that makes it to where the computer AND kfu dont recognize it at all???
i also get with the regualr usb cable MTP USB device FAILED with the litt;le yellow caution triangle under Portable Devices but
shows it under Android Phone as Android Composite ADB interface???
but as stated with the factory cable it IMMEDIATELY says USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED
with regular power it boots and gets stuck at the cm10 logo screen
with factory cable it only goes and stops at the orange and white kindle fire logo
i hope ive provided everything i can and hope someone can help out. thanks guys and its been some great reading on this site

Reinstall Kindle Fire Drivers from the Kindle Fire Utility package. Unzip your download and run the install drivers batch file. Then try to plug the Kindle in again.

Best way to get things working here is to run Kindle fire utility, run the "intall FireFireFire" option, it will say waiting on device, with your kindle off, attach the Factory cable to the kindle and then plug it into the PC. Hopefully this will get the bootloader installed, and while you're at it, go ahead and reinstall TWRP, as it shouldn't cause an issue. After you get the bootloader and TWRP installed, you can wipe caches and see if that helps.

hey thanks mthous
Ya i told her if she would have installed the FFF that alot of this would be a whole bunch easier.
As for installing the drivers ive done that and it IS being noticed by the computer as i stated with the reg. usb cable, In KFU its read as ADB Status ONLINE but bootmode status UNKNOWN. so its being recognized just i think since the Kindle is stuck in whatever bootmode that its not being read.
ONLY WHEN i plug it in with the Factory cable is it completely invisible to the computer and unrecognized IMMEDIATLEY after attached to the KF.
But im going to try that last piece of advice but i had tried something similar with going to the KFU and choosing option 1 then choosing i believe option 2 for recovery mode then hit enter and it said "waiting for device" BUT as usual it didnt even read that the device was connected with the Factory Cable. IS there a special different kind of driver for the FACTORY cable that i dont know about? MAYBE its not made right???? i bought it from a reputable ebay dealer. and it DOES alter the state of the KF by keeping it at the KF logo instead of going on through to the CM10 boopt logo.
i dont know.
ANYONE reading this with some idea please chime in cause its gotten to the point where i just turn the KF on to see it light up and watch the cm10 boot animation thinking of the day that i will one day be able to use it :crying::crying:

so im just going to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
seems my problem is the drivers and what not so hey why not right. SUCKS i had to search so many places to even know FULLY what pokey (the op) was talking about.
such as making a bootable usb. finding the diagram on how to short out the kindle and things of that but i fully feel confident that this will fix it. also ive included my links incase anyone else is having this problem and isnt as good at searching.

What was your outcome? I'm having the same exact issue, and I'm pulling my hair out!

i have one other option you might wanna try.
using fastboot cable, get to the kindle logo and plug it in to your computer.
delete your .android folder located at c:\users\%your user%\.android
open kfu and it should say offline
run the option to install FFF that might do it.
let me know what happens

i have one other option you might wanna try.
using fastboot cable, get to the kindle logo and plug it in to your computer.
delete your .android folder located at c:\users\%your user%\.android
open kfu and it should say offline
run the option to install FFF that might do it.
let me know what happens

Didn't work. Kindle installs as a USB MTP Device.

now you cant get into recovery right?

I can't get anywhere, or flash anything. It just boots up, and goes to the off center CM logo.

Might be a stupid question to ask - but it seems like you already have firefirefire due to previous flashing and etc, have you tried pushing the power button repeatedly during the boot to change the bootmode?
This can be an easy way to get into recovery and do a complete wipe then reflash. I had an issue similar to this and it was because I forgot to do my wipes because I was focused on getting my device recognized by KFU.

sorry been lazy and i gotta search where all the links were now... but def going to do this today sometime.....oh ya links are in my post lol ok well i WILL get back to see if this "drastic way" works is it wierd that it doesnt seem that complicated to do it this way??? i feel like im missing something like it should be alot harder. idk ill find out and get back.

[Q] Kindle Fire 1st gen Bricked

A couple of months back I tried to flash something (If I recall correctly, I flashed an otter mod on twrp) and failed miserably. System was not able to be mounted anymore, kindle fire was not readable by adb, it had no operating system. Fast forward a couple of months I am stuck with FireFireFire menu (v1.4a) and there is no recovery either, just normal boot which boot loops the amazon kindle logo.
I do not have a fastboot nor factory cable.
Complete noob.
1st generation Kindle Fire.
P.S : When I try flashing twrp with KFU it says it succeeds but once I try a recovery menu it does not boot into recovery menu, just the firefirefire menu and from there the only working option is to normal boot into the kindle fire bootloop.
Help? Please?

First the only thing KFU is good for is installing the drivers.
You likely need a fastboot cable
$10 on Amazon or eBay

Thank you for replying! I have tried that tutorial, however, I am always prompted with "error : device not found" even if the kindle is plugged in

Sounds like a driver issue

Ok through some trial and error I managed to install twrp on it using firekit on ubuntu, so now I at least have that. However, I cannot seem to be able to mount sd card. Tried soupkit to fix it, says it is fixed and I am given the same mounting error in twrp terminal. When I try to mount anything else other than that, the pc just does not see it. Driver issue? I remember installing the drivers just fine, what should I do next? Change its driver somehow?
P.S : In device manager it seems to be listed as "Android ADB Interface". Is that correct?

How? The pc does not recognize the kindle, nor can I mount any files on it. Firekit only flashes 2.0.0.0, soupkit and kfu are not of much help either.

Mentioned previously it shows up as Android ADB Device. When I change the driver to usb composite it does show up as kindle and shows up as USB Drive F. I can store stuff on there, but there are no partitions and when I look for the files on TWRP they do not show up anywhere.

Is it possible for you to link a fastboot cable that would work from Amazon?

Not many options anymore but this should work.
Factory Fastboot Cable by N2A (R) - Fix/Repair Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD, Kindle Fire HDX, Motorola Xoom & Phones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0099E59SG/ref=cm_sw_r_u_apa_fabc_0.JbGbVDERHAA

Well gang it was a good run but I think mine is dead. It will only turn on for a split second when holding the power button and show the otterx bootlogo then shuts off completely (can't even select the recovery menu option) and this will repeat every time I try until it occasionally will go into the battery charging screen when holding the power button to turn it on (while the device is not charging, but then it shuts off after a second or 2 on that screen). I have tried a factory cable (the one @sd_shadow recommended above - which unfortunately seemed to not work). I also tried the pin short usbboot method which didn't work either. The battery does appear to be charging though, as it went from 75% to 83% after a bit of charging.
The odd thing is that I cannot get the power light to turn on when I have usb plugged into it (it only turns on without USB connected). So any of those occurrences above only happen when USB is not connected. I am not sure why this is, but I am very confused at this point.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it, but I am assuming it's a lost cause at this point... not sure what else I can try beyond an entire motherboard swap
I am going to post a video of the shutting off so you guys can see what I am talking about, maybe that might help idk
EDIT: it's now at 86% so I am gonna see if I can charge it fully then try again

My thoughts are that either the battery is acting up, or the charging/USB port is, it has to be one or the other if I cannot get it into usbboot, but I am going to keep trying I guess. Will post those videos I said I would above soon
