[Q] odd crash - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time I start my first gen kindle it goes to the TWRP menu. I've tried all of the options in the reboot section of the menu and each one boots it up normally and i can get to my home screen, but then the kindle shuts down and goes to the fastboot menu. After that, I try each option on the fastboot menu and i experience all of the same problems. Any help?

Make a backup in TWRP when booting hold the power button until it says recovery and then wipe factory reset and install ROM again.

Hi Vlasp, I think the recovery is also corrupted Its just powering off my device and when I tried to boot using recovery its just come back to password normal screen.
I tried to connect to PC and tried to install again the TWRP but the Kindle Fire Utilities says my device is Offline: Any more things we can try?

Factory Reset
You said you installed and then you wiped system? Big mistake. Boot into recovery and mount, download that AOSP rom on your computer, copy itnto your Kindle, install, and wipe factory reset and cache.

So, what you're saying is...
When the device boots, and you use the power button to bring up the boot menu and select recovery, nothing happens?

TWRP Downgrade

Hello, I need help getting TWRP to 2.2.2.1 so that I can flash old ROMs in this case AltRoms although I tried COTR and everything flashes correctly but when I try to boot in it doesn't. Currently I have TWRP 2.5 which doesn't work with most old ROMs. Another thing is that I struggle a LOT with Fast boot so I don't know how to get it to write the image, and I also tried smirk it but only installs latest which isn't useful. Any help please?

First, get fastboot.exe from somewhere. Then, cd to it using cmd.
Now, type:
Code:
fastboot getvar store
and press enter
Next, hold your power button until it's(the kindle) completely shut down.
After that, plug your kindle in via usb. Give it a few seconds, and it should put you into fastboot(cmd will tell you how long it took or something like that).
Now, type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery c:/*directory*/*recovery name*.img
, and obviously you'll replace the directory and recovery name with the correct info.
Once that's successful, just type:
Code:
fastboot reboot
and you should be good to go.

Forgive me for my stupidity, but what is Fastboot.exe (I know it some sort Process or Executable File) and how do I get into cd or cmd?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app
Also to make make things a little easier. Go into kfu and /tools/ and take all the fastboot and adb files out of there, and move them to root of /C:
Also you can move the recovery.img and move that to C: also
Just saves some time and typing.

figured out the problem. with bootloader 2.05 if i flash 2.2.2.1 it has the power down issue. if i flash 2.7.0.1 (i didn't have any other twrp's to try) i do not have this issue. so it appears 2.2.2.1 is not compatible with bootloader 2.05.
The battery was at 96% when this issue was happening.

Yes you should be using OtterX twrp with 2.05
If you are trying to install non-otterx roms you should be using fff bootloader 1.4a

If it's a zip, it's for installing in twrp, for Flashing in bootloader files must be .img or .bin

it was a bin that i attempted to flash in fastboot. i will say this about 2.05 boot loader. if you don't just hit the power button quickly the menu disappears and you have to reboot. if you do a long push like in 1.4 the menu disappears.

Help! Have I screwed up my bootloader?

So in the rush to get CyanogenMod installed on my newly-S-Offed phone, I downloaded CWM from the appstore and started looking through the various devices to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery to. I selected the vanilla HTC One, not the verizon-specific model. I have not yet rebooted my phone yet, but I am worried that doing so will brick the phone since I technically don't have the right bootloader. Looking through CWM's list on my phone, there is not a verizon-specific model bootloader. There is one on Cyanogen's site (can't post the link due to XDA restrictions), but it appears to involve rebooting the phone. How should I go about safely flashing a good bootloader onto my phone?

CWM is a custom recovery, not bootloader. Download your choice of CWM or TWRP, reboot into the bootloader and use Fastboot to flash it.

I am referring to ROM Manager from the android app store. When you bring it up it asks you to flash your bootloader. The bootloader I selected was the one for the Vanilla HTC One.
I don't use ROM Manager, but I just installed it on my phone. The prompts all refer to recovery, and make no mention of bootloader. See below.

Its most likely referring to the recovery, not the bootloader; Assuming you're root, Rom Manager is there to flash custom ROMS and custom recoveries. I don't think you'll have bricked your phone if you installed a bad recovery, but I think your best bet would be install a compatible one manually.
SO pick a thread and follow the directions under installation:

Well my phone will reboot safely, which is good.
However, rebooting into fastboot or recovery just reboots into normal mode. Recovery will say the first time that it's going into recovery, but will reboot again and go into normal.
Thoughts?
Success! I just had to keep scrolling. there was a version in Rom Manager, all the way down at the bottom under "m7vzw." Flashing that did the trick.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers.

The S-Off exploit removes stock recovery, so it will go nowhere until you flash CWM or TWRP. Fastboot will work regardless.

All that said, I can now boot into recovery no problem, but typing "adb reboot fastboot" just reboots the phone normally. Any idea why that might be?
I've never used that command personally. I have Quick Boot (Reboot) from the market and use it for getting into recovery and fastboot from Android.

Do you have fastboot unchecked under power settings? Phone doesn't totally reboot with that checked.

adb reboot recovery = takes you to recovery
adb reboot bootloader = takes you to fastboot/booloader
I don't believe adb reboot fastboot is a command, so it just does adb reboot

TWRP 2.6.3.3 Problems

Has anyone successfully installed TWRP 2.6.3.3 (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7) on your HTC One? I have tried all three methods on installing it and I can't seem to get it to stick on my phone.
Method one: Goo.im app
From the menu, selecting Install OpenRecoveryScript and selecting Yes results in No recoveries were found for your device.
Method two: ADB / Terminal
Opened up an ADB shell and used dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p34 which successfully installed it. Rebooting to recovery goes to the HTC screen that says Entering recovery and then reboots the device for a normal startup.
Method three: Fastboot
Booting into the bootloader and selecting the fastboot option in order to run fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img successfully installed. Rebooting to recovery goes to the HTC screen that says Entering recovery and then reboots the device for a normal startup.
Holding volume down + power and selecting Recovery from the bootloader also reboots to the HTC screen that says Entering recovery and then reboots the device for a normal startup.
No idea how to get this installation to stick. Can anyone help out?
the twrp for m7 doesn't work.
the twrp for m7vzw is the one you need.

I used Flashify from the Play Store and it worked perfectly. The recovery held and was able to flash CM11. My fastboot has been screwed ever since I upgraded to Win8.1 so Ive been using that app as an alternative.
EDIT- Using the correct one as the previous post alluded to would also be a great idea. I didn't even catch that.

Can't Flash TWRP after installing MaximusHD
So I am a noob at this stuff and successfully flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3. I installed the MaxHD ROM shortly after following all instructions that I could find. I ran into bootloop and had to revert to an old firmware then flashed the current firmware and viola MaxHD booted right up. However, now I can not flash TWRP back as my recovery. Everytime I flash it and go into recovery it goes into MaxHD ROM. If anyone has any ideas they are much appreciated.
Also, I have read for over three weeks on these boards before posting even my first post so I have tried to research the problem if anyone was wondering that.

Is MaxHD a Verizon rom? That could be an issue if it's not. Also, the latest TWRP is 2.7.0.8. Haven't had any issues with it. Are you flashing it with fastboot commands? You might try the app Flashify.

Good call...it is not for the Verizon HTC One. Thanks much.
It doesn't say it's not in the write up about the ROM...I had to dig into the replies to see if anyone else asked.
