[Q] Can't copy ROM after installing otterX - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I followed Hashcode's guide to install the OtterX partition scheme and updated TWRP to 2.8.2.0, and did it successfully, But now I can't figure out how to copy a ROM to the device, I've already tried to use the USB mount(nothing happens) Already tried adb push(unauthorized device) Already tried adb sideload(closes). I am at a loss of what I'm supposed to do, I have already installed the Kindle Fire usb drivers, and my device is found in adb, but it says it's unauthorized, I have no way of booting into a ROM, is there anything I can do?

Driver's are likely not correct

Well, I just tried to do the emmc corruption fix and now it won't boot into anything other than fastboot, I believe it was under Kindle Fire>ADB Composite device

Alright, nevermind, I got it flashed back to twrp 2.8.2.0, now it is shown as an unrecognized device, I'm on the TWRP homescreen, where do I go from here

If you can mount, mount to your computer and copy the Rom and GApps of your choice, then wipe everything but internal storage and install the Rom. If you can't mount, then you are going to have to connect your kindle to your computer after selecting boot to bootloader and adb push the Rom and GApps of your choice, then shut down your kindle and reboot to TWRP, wipe everything but internal storage and install the Rom.

I can't get the Kindle to mount usb storage, But I can enable MTP and see it with "adb devices" But when I try to "adb push" a rom, or anything, it says to check the confirmation dialog on the device, which is not present.

Did you try "Reboot to Bootloader" in TWRP in the Reboot menu?
Also try this for ADB and Fastboot: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

When I used the ADB Installer that I mentioned in the post above, I never needed to get a confirmation dialogue. Maybe you should try it and post your results. It most probably won't overwrite your 15 second adb/fastboot installation.

When I boot into bootloader, it goes to fastboot, and then adb can't find it, but fastboot can. I do have an otterX rom, is there some way I can flash it while in fastboot?

I would flash otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img and retry mount

fastboot flash zip rom.zip should work.
Edit: Don't try the above method of flashing in fastboot. Just flash the previous recovery in fastboot: fastboot flash recovery otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img with the otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img in the adb/fastboot folder.

Did that and got adb push to work!, but the rom won't install. It's the lollipop build that HC did a while ago.

TWRP.img won't download in KFU

Hello, I'm trying to root my kindle fire 6.3.1 . I've got the drivers install and the device is recognized as adb online while in the newest version of the kindle fire utility. When I proceed to install the permanent root the utility attempts to download TWRP about 11 times and then just gives up. So basically I'm stuck at that step. Any help or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Tried re downloading, disabled firewalls. Tried rebooting computer and kindle. Internet is working well. I have attempted this several times each time it just tells me download has failed and I have to restart the utitlity and switch it back to normal boot mode.

Where'd you get your instructions from and what version of the utility are you using?
I'm getting the same problem using v0.9.6, the site listed for downloading the file no longer seems to exist, I can't seem to find this version anywhere, there is a newer version but it does not work with KFU because the MD5 doesn't match.
How long have you been try now I wonder if its not just a server issue or error

I've been trying all day today, the entire site that hosts the file appears to be down. I have been trying some different things editing the files.log and run.bat, but I cant seem to get the newer version of twrp working with it, it keeps giving an MD5 error.
when I dry ran it it worked fine so the problem is just yours everything here works fine...

Thanks for the files, I took your twrp.img file and put it in my folder and everything worked, hopefully the download site will come back up soon so other people don't have this problem.
Oh and make a backup after twrp and fff are installed that you will later rename noroot631 before flashing roms wipe everything except your SD card factory reset. ,cache,dalvik, system, flash rom zip flash gapps zip reboot and enjoy ...
thanks for the files. after your dry run reply i thought i'd try one more time before downloading the files and got the same thing. except now i'm stuck in fast boot mode. i restarted the KFU to activate normal boot but now it is just hanging and "waiting for the device"
Simply just leave it connected power it off and power it on and it will find it

Sort of unbricked...bootlooping @ CM logo...

So, I wanted to flash stock firmware and ended up doing something wrong and kept getting "No OS installed" in TWRP (newest version). I couldnt flash anything and my 1st gen Kindle fire would get stuck on "kindle fire" logo. Finally mounted the tablet via TWRP and transfered the latest nightly of CM to the tablet. After flashing it, I am getting an error saying "E:Cannot mount /data" Now when I boot I get the CM boot logo (YAY! progress) but it is stuck in bootloop at the logo. I've tried KFU and the Unbrick utility, but the unbrick utility keeps saying "device offline" even though when I use "adb devices" from CMD it lists it as there. I'm glad I finally got past the kindle fire logo, but now I'm stuck at CM logo. Is this do to the error about not being able to mount data? How can I fix this? Thanks to anyone who can help a brotha out. :good::fingers-crossed:

I have the same issues @sd_shadow . My Twrp version is v2.8.1.0 . Bootloader version is v2.05. PC version is 8.1.
Also, the device manager on the PC labels the Kindle when mounted as 'Amazon Otterx'. I followed the steps up till wiping partitions in recovery. But when it comes to pushing cm or gapps, I am unable to do it.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] [Help] Bricked device? No ROM, can't get one onto device

So I ****ed up, ayyy. I was in TWRP, and after updating it wouldn't mount the system, some people said try a wipe and I wiped everything, every thing. Nothing is there anymore, no rom no no system no nothing. So all I need to do is flash a rom, problem is I can't. I try mounting the USB Storage and it doesn't show up on my computer and If i check the terminal it says "E: Unable to Find Storage Partition to mount to USB" so IDK what to do. It doesn't show up on my computer, so I can't format it to fat32 or whatever like everyone is saying, I'm LOST.
Is there anything I can do?

[NO OS] OS has been deleted and ADB Sideload Not Working (Z00A)

I ordered a phone and received it today and found that the OS is gone and I wasn't able to install a new one through adb sideload. The only menus I can access are the Boot Menu and the Recovery menu built into the phone.
My device is not being recognized through 'adb' at all and only fastboot commands are available.
Any help? I can explain more if you'd like, I'm still counting the problems I have with this phone currently.
Use fastboot to load a pre-rooted rom.
Where did you buy this phone? Look in the thread for flashing from CN to WW and using the prerooted roms by shakalaca
