[Q] i've messed up my kindle fire 1st gen - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi please can anyone help,
I was trying to put a standard rom onto my kindle everything was going ok re rooting etc and I have twrp on there , Somehow in twrp I have managed to mess up all of the partitions probably through accidental wipes. My drivers seem to be installed ok but can't access the disk through windows or via adb it just says "device not found" ad I'm unable to mount the device either. Please help as I'm losing the will to live.
I have attached screens if that helps

So you were trying to switch to OtterX?
did you watch my video posted here? [YouTube] OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [2014-05-08]
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk

yes I was trying to use otterx . I've just watched the youtube vid and when I execute adb shell it's telling me
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed : No such file or directory (2)
if I try to flash the bootloader it sits at waiting for device

you shouldn't need to flash bootloader, you have bootloader and twrp,
try fixing partitions

Could I ask how I do that please?

Did you wipe cache, rebooted, Format Data, wipe partitions in wipe>advanced ?

I've followed thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire/general/how-to-fix-lollipop-install-errors-t2974063 and the cache and system seem ok now but can't do anything with the data partition .
I've attached some screens so you can see what its telling me

hold fire I think I have sorted the partitions now I'm going to try to push a rom on

fantastic the partitions now seem to be doing what they should . How do I get a rom on there now? as in how do I get it onto the device to then install it

if twrp 2.7.1.0 use adb push like in video
if 2.8.X.X use mtp in mount options, but should be enabled by default, then it's just drag and drop, or copy/paste

ok now its gone all weird can't boot into twrp stuck in fastboot mode

The device has to be in fastboot mode to show up via fastboot.exe
Regarding your issues flashing the bootloader/TWRP, try using FireFlash, an apk that automates the process of flashing the exploitable bootloader and TWRP, using the freedom boot.img and TWRP files from the thread you mentioned in your post They can be anywhere on the device storage.
Stick the FireFlash apk on the device storage, install it with ES File Manager, plug in the freedom boot.img into the boot slot and the TWRP img into the recovery slot, check the box to flash 8.1.4 bootloader if you aren't already using it (red letters will warn you if you aren't) and check apply stack override. also check disable auto recovery update. execute the flash, and you're done.You can also use FireFlash to easily update TWRP later on if you like.

found within the forum
I open Fireflash and find the inscription: warning: current bootloader not kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin.
Can I switch back?
FlashBoot I click to go into the "flash install script" or "reboot into recovery"?
I can also directly follow the program? reliable?
thanks
is stuck to the initial written "kindle fire" orange. help!
If you are not seeing the blue logo, then the 2nd-bootloader / freedom boot / twrp img is not installed correctly.
I will post a small set of instructions in a few mins. But they require you have a working fastboot connection.

My point is that it is crucial to have proper drivers present and working BEFORE you even get into fastboot mode.
I would recommend you go back and re-read Hashcode's thread. Back up your system files before modifying anything, so you can go back if anything goes wrong.

but if something goes wrong, without the fastboot mode you can not recover anything the same right?
Surely my mistake was not to test the fastboot. Why can not I work in the device?? for drivers?
I think my kindle volume button is broken. Every time I reboot the device it always enter safe mode.
I reflash the device to stock but the problem still appear, now I want to back to custom rom but I cannot get in to TWRP (the volume up button not working) so I stuck at blue logo.
Fastboot and ADB still working.
Is there any way to install CM10.1 using fastboot/adb only without TWRP?
You can still get into twrp without using volume button, you just need to run adb on your PC with your kindle connected and adb enabled as follows:
adb reboot recovery
Or try
adb shell "su -c 'reboot recovery'"
If it is the second one u can run it from a mobile terminal app on the kindle, just take off the adb shell part.
Once you have cm installed I know for a fact you can reboot into recovery from the shutdown menu, but u have to enabled developer stuff on cm after u flash it. You can tell I'm half asleep when I can't remember the proper term and say "stuff"... Anyways if you want feel free to try what I suggested or search around for what I suggested. I am going to bed.

TWRP problem
Hello people
First of all thanks Hashcode for putting so much effort into it
I ran into a little bit of problem
First off regarding the BLUE LOGO
I first get ORANGE then BLUE n then ORANGE again with the animation
Second regarding TWRP
I can't seem to get into recovery while pressing the volume up button
It gives me a bad boot kinda error n then takes me to Fastboot mode
I hope you guys can help me out with this
Thanks
EDIT
Thanks to the above post i was able to enter recovery
Now it gives me two options
1 reboot kindle
2 reset to factory defaults
Question : How do i install CM 10.1 from there
You apparently didn't follow the instructions in the 2nd bootloader thread very well because you seem to have skipped a step.
To further explain what soupmagnet means, you didn't flash twrp to your recovery, that's the stock amazon recovery and is completely useless.

[Q] How do i downgrade twrp on kindle fire first gen?

So i was messing around with my kindle and accidentally wiped everything on it. I have been trying to flash the update.zip that you can find on Amazon's website but it keeps saying there was an error flashing rom. So i have looked around and people keep saying that you must downgrade from twrp 2.6.0.0 to twrp 2.2.2.1 to flash it. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[RESOLVED] Stuck in "fastboot mode", Help needed

Okay some background information that might help.
Haven't touched my daughter's kindle in over 2 years after rooting with Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6 and putting CM 10.1 on it, as well as TWRP Blaze 2.4.1.0. Fast forward to today and she says it's acting weird. I chalk it up to it being very out dated and look into updating to the latest and greatest. So I head on over to OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [TWRP 2.7.1 2014-06-08]. I make sure adb is up and running and that I can push files while in recovery. I flash the latest bootloader and reboot. Everything seems normal until I head to the next step of flashing the new recovery. Try to boot into recovery and the device just boots normally... tried to use the fastboot method and it just hangs on "waiting for device". The device reboots, but instead of doing what it's supposed to do, it just boots normally. Now I'm getting a little impatient with everything and no longer having the ability to boot back into recovery. So now here's where I really shot myself in the foot, I proceed to think its a great idea to use the fix EMMC corrupted device option that proceeds to wipe everything (which I knew was going to happen) and now can't get past the fastboot mode screen....
I now don't seem to have a recovery... but I can still turn on the device, see the initial "Kindle Fire" screen with the power options to get into Normal boot, Recovery boot, advanced. Normal boot does nothing but boot into fastboot mode, as well as recovery. The advanced menu pops up normally but I'm not sure if that really matters in this case. While connected to the computer it shows up as an unspecified device named "kindle" with an exclamation point on it. I'm not sure what to even do at this point in time... Any help would be great.

If you get fastboot devices command to work
You need a recovery.IMG file for otterx
Can be found in recovery.zip by extracting files it will be in /cache folder.
You should be using twrp 2.7.1.0 or newer and 2.05 bootloader

Yea, no idea why it's not showing up as a device.
I did technically use the EMMC Corruption Fix that wiped everything on my device, just short of the bootloader. Not sure why the computer isn't recognizing it. Must be that my computer isn't really set up for fastboot? Weird thing to is, it no longer shows a serial number like it used to before under the "Advanced" options... Don't know if that's significant. Other things that have changed that I've noticed from the advanced menu is that Charger Mode: OFF (was on before) Serial Console: OFF (was on before) Serial #: BLANK (used to have something there) and that's about it. Don't know if I just need to set up something on my PC end to not only recognize the kindle but to actually be able to use the fastboot stuff. I think that's where my problem my also be.

Disabled and installed drivers. Going to reset pc real quick and see if it now is recognized.
Okay, now when I try fastboot devices i get <NULL> fastboot
Also, it's still listed under Unspecified as kindle. This time when you double click and go into Hardware, it shows Android ADB Interface and Type as Phone

I think I have everything running. Thanks so much for your help. Even though it said NULL, I gave that command line a try and it recognized the device and I was able to push the TWRP img to the device and from there follow the rest of the instructions on the linked page from earlier. Again thanks so much!!!

You should download adb/fastboot files from my Flashing Twrp in FFF bootloader with fastboot.exe
Step 1:
download adb-fastboot.zip
Create a folder in c drive named adb,
unzip/extract files,
copy AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, and fastboot.exe to adb folder.
Step 2
install Kindle Fire drivers
check drivers, open device manager, kindle should be listed
android phone>android adb interface
if not see my Driver links / Errors /verify drivers are installed correctly
if drivers are correct
Step 3
Open a Command Prompt (start>all programs>accessories>Command prompt)
change directory to adb folder with
Code:
cd\adb
adb devices
should get a return code back something like
Code:
123456789abcde recovery
if so enter
Code:
adb shell "cat /proc/cmdline"
post code returned in this thread
mem=512M console=null androidboot.selinux=permissive

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------
could just be the twrp version, only the kindle fire 1 has 512mb of memory

shouldn't matter, but 2.8.x.x twrps are not complete, adb is flaky at best.
try to mount sd card
select Mount> check sd card> mount usb
do you get a removable disk pop up?

yah, adb is not working correctly, probably next step is getting a fastboot cable Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
No
could try
in the reboot options choose fastboot or bootloader
and flash the bootloader and twrp like in the Using Factory/Fastboot Cable to Flash FFF Bootloader and TWRP Recovery
---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------
stock bootloader is just the kindle fire boot logo, I have no idea if selecting reboot>bootloader will cause it to stay in bootloader or it will continue to TWRP
to test use
Code:
fastboot devices
I would send command just before selecting reboot>bootloader

Kindle Fire 1st GEN AOKP ROM Forgot PIN

I have a 1st gen Kindle Fire I have not used in a while. A few years ago I removed the stock install and installed a stock using the AOKP ROM. It worked great until I forgot the PIN and for the life of me I cannot remember it. If I connect it to my PC I see the drive popup as USB Drive, but it is not enabled. Am am SOL?
Thanks in advance,
Danny

You should be able to access twrp or whichever recovery is installed and do a factory reset (wipe user data)
Sent from my ocean using XDA Labs
I can't seem to access that. To be honest, I can't recall the entire process. How do I boot the device in recovery mode? This device only has a power button and I can't seem to be able to reboot in a mode to wipe all data. I have an option to restart on recovery mode, but when I select that option it just reboots and goes back to the main page.

You could reflash the bootloader.
If you are sure you have a first gen (2011) Fire,
You can follow this

Link doesn't work.
ADB isn't installed it's run
Sent from my ocean using XDA Labs
Ok, so I seem to be making progress. I figured out what you mean about ADB and I was able to follow steps from the link you shared all the way to getting the device to reboot on fastboot mode. The device now is displaying the Kindle Fire logo. The problem now is that if I enter the command fastboot -i 0x1949 devices or fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product I get the message < waiting for device > and nothing happens. The device responded to all other commands but it seems to be stuck somehow. If I now run adb devices it is not listed as part of the devices. I also tried installing the Kindle Fire 1st drivers and it failed. Any thoughts on this?

So then I select composite ADB device and go through the warnings. After I get back to the driver properties and click on Driver Details I see this
