KFU error and cannot root

i got problem with KFU and here is my screenshot attached:
anyone knows what's the problem and how to fix it?? thanks in advance.

Yeah doesn't look like it knows what bootmode your kindle is in reboot your computer and power down your kindle a try again after powering back on.

boot status should say 4000 which is normal yours says unknown

heck maybe you got a bad kfu download to redownload it and extract it to your desktop or to the root of your c drive

my windows is in chinese language... wonder if that makes my KFU not working??
I tried rebooting both the kindle and PC, still not working, when KFU opens, only gave me the "findstr" is not a valid command error.

Restore Error: Need Help NOW!!!

Are you still able to access twrp if so check under mount to make sure there is not a check in the boxes system and data if so deselect them and try again
---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------
I have had this error many times its always been the case with hellfire and others that have gapps baked into the rom

I can try but your in a panic and likely causing more problems give me time Im working
---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------
You can use kfu to download the update.zip you can find it with all the other files in kfu after its done. You dont have to connect your kindle to do so. Then use the mount feature in twrp mount your sdcard transfer update.zip from your computer to to your card unmount do a full wipe flash update.zip go back to mount to make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data then reboot of course since your usb port is so loose you will need to lean it to transfer update.zip to your sdcard
---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------
You dont need your apps and data your returning it
---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
If you manage to get booted to the stock rom you will want to do a factory reset before returning

In case it did the same as it did with hellfire likely all will be fine I just said to look although you might be misunderstanding me a bit

Just put the entire zipped update.zip on your sdcard wipe and flash if you wish I believe kfu will perform this task for you twrp should prompt and tell you its ready to flash

Truthfully I dont get why you put hellfire on there in the first place all it has done is muddy the waters so far

Help with reset...

So I decided to try to run ubuntu touch on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus(verizon). All went well, but now it seems I cant start the phone, can only get into fastboot mode. Can anyone please walk me through the steps of putting stock android back on my phone? I have adb and fastboot installed on my computer. There's a guide here that walks you through the process of returning the phone to stock software/firmware, but it requires USB debugging to be on, which I can't turn on because the phone won't boot up. I greatly appreciate any help!!!
Phone Info(what's written in fastboot):
PRODUCT NAME-Tuna
VARIANT- toro 32GB
HW VERSION- 9
BOOTLOADER VERSION: PRIMELC03
BASEBAND VERSION- I515.FK02 CDMA-I515.FK01
CARRIER INFO- NONE
SIGNING- production
LOCK STATE- UNLOCKED

You dont need USB debug on in order to use fastboot
---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------
Debugging is only needed if using adb.
But if u already in fastboot bootloader mode then u don't need to do "adb reboot bootloader" command

Thanks for the pretty fast response! I'm still lost as to how I can make everything go back to the way it is (i.e, get rid of ubuntu and get android back on ) . Definitely my last time trying to muck around with roms and such D;

Don't give up!
Once you've done it once or twice it becomes easier, everything starts to make sense
Did you download one of the Google factory img for toro to your computer? Get it from here
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
(It will be under the Mysid/toro name) any of the available ones will work that are for toro.
---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------
Then you just uncompress the file, open command prompt(aka terminal) in that folder/directory , put device into fastboot mode(bootloader), and then execute the flash all script that comes with the factory IMG download.
---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------
Oh, and to easily open a command prompt in that directory, uncompress the factory img download file from that site linked above, then open the folder to view it's contents. Hold shift and right click within the folder and choose "open command prompt"
Then all you should need to do is put "flash-all.exe" and hit enter in the command prompt that pops up once device is connected and in fastboot(bootloader)mode. (No quotes...just enter the text) and then be patient. The flashing of the radio files might seem to take a long time especially the CDMA radio. Do NOT unplug or anything before it is completed fully)
If need anymore info ask away

Wow, I can't thank you enough man!!! :highfive: That worked like a charm , no problems at all . And oh it's "flash-all.bat" not .exe, for the people that might come across this thread later. Thanks again though, I really don't know what I would've done. Definitely going to do a **** ton more research next time I decide to go and flash a rom haha.

No problem buddy
That's what these forums are for, learning, helping, development, all that good stuff! Just happy it went smoothly for ya.
I think it used to be named .exe, at least it shows as exe on my laptop but I use Linux so it could just be seeing it differently(since I have wine installed)
There is usually a windows executable and a Linux .sh script that can be executed from the terminal to start the process.
See, it's not all THAT bad now is it? Especially since now you know how to do it, messing up the device isn't such a daunting thing anymore lol.
As for keeping status 7 from happening again I highly recommend bookmarking the TWRP or CWM official sites so that before flashing things in the future, you can make sure you have the most up to date custom recovery installed by comparing what is available vs what you have installed(booting into recovery mode will usually have the version info somewhere on the main screen) and of course having a recent nandroid backup made within your current custom recovery. I prefer TWRP but it's a personal choice to each user which they use
Just don't be afraid to play around
Congrats again on your first soft brick&restore! Lol
It's such a relieving feeling once you bring device back from the dead ain't it?

Root XOLO Q700S PLUS !!!!

Twrp and xposed for j6+

Hey everyone, i saw the new galaxy j6+ an i liked it. It's cheap with good specifications. Just wanna ask if there's a compatible twrp, root and xposed released for this device. If not i guess I'll wait an extra month or buy another device.

I tried to patch the boot image via magisk but it didn't work as well

I rooted my j6+ with magisk patched boot.img
Im sure you know the steps but just in case,
1. Do a full backup, cz you'll need to reset your device after rooting
2- go to dev options and turn on oem unlock
3- download magisk manager
4- download the rom of your device, extract it, then open ap with 7zip,extract the boot.img.lz4 with 7 zip standard
5- place the boot.img on your j6+
6- open magisk manager, it'll ask you if you want to install, press no thanks.
7- go to magisk settings, scroll down to patched image output format, select img.tar
8- go back to main menu, select install, then select boot.img file, then select the img you placed on your device.
After it finish patching, go to download mode and flash the patched img through Odin.
This worked for me

4- Firstly, downloaded .zip file has many files (AP, CP, BL, HOME_CSC). Which file contains 'boot.img.lz4' file and how to extraxt from .md5 file?
5- How to get boot.img from boot.img.lz4 file? Will renaming the file work?
6- Does magisk work on a no-rooted device?

1.Extract the zip, then open ap as zip, copy boot.img.lz4 to desktop
2.download 7 zip standard, it can extract the lz4 archives.
3. After your extract the image, place it on your device
4. Download magisk manager and launch it
5. When You launch magisk, it will ask if you want to install, press no.
6. go to settings in magisk, scroll down to patch boot.img format, select img.tar
7. Go back to magisk, uncheck preserver force encryption, select install, then choose patch boot.img
8. Magisk will ask to locate your boot img, choose the img you placed on your device.
9. After magisk finish patching, the new img will be placed in downloads folder.
10. Move it to your pc, launch odin and choose ap and choose the patchedboot.img .
11. Go to download mode and flash the img
12. Device will reboot and ask to reset to factory settings. Reset it and after it finish booting, you'll see magisk installed
Some notes :
1.Do full backup bcz you'll have to reset to factory settings your device after rooting
2. Unlock OEM in developer options
3. Magisk doesn't need root, it will root your device.
4. DOWNLOAD 7 ZIP STANDARD, IT CAN EXTRACT LZ4 ARCHIVES

Next question, where to find TWRP recovery for SM-J610F?
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
I did not try this method. But, i'm gonna do it soon, because i did it from AndroDef's thread.
He already uploaded for ARJ3, but i had ARIM. But, i'm switching back to ARIM and will surely try this method and will share my experience.

There isn't any custom recovery released for this device yet,but i already submitted a request in TwrpBuilder project a month ago, hope they'll do it soon, you can check it here, it's at the buttom (47,it's the 3rd oldest request)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/downloads/twrp/#tab=inQueue
Also you can check the completed builds to see if the twrp building for the device is finished.

Well if you need custom recovery for xposed, there's xposed module in magisk that can be installed without twrp. I'm already using it and have multiple modules (gravitybox, xprivacy and greenify), all running without problems. For debloating, after your root the device, go to google play and download an app called system app remover, it'll show you all apps on your j6+. Select the apps you want to remove and press uninstall. After uninstallation is done, reboot your device

Sure, but never worked with samsungs. It's my first regular samsung device. Never liked exynos and cortex combo, but it's different.
Last time tried to push recovery.img via adb and it did not work. I have root and root explorer app installed. Where is that log located in system partition. I'm not an skilled linux coder guy but i have serious history with androids and palms.
