[Q] KFU Brick? Step by step what I have tried

Here are the step by step things I have done. (I apologize in advance for mispelled words or wrong versions)
- My computer is operating windows vista. I used Kindle Fire Utility to root Kindle Fire on 6.2.2
- When 6.3.1 came out I upgraded KFU to 0.9.6
- I re-rooted and installed TWRP and FFF as wells as Go Launcher
- I then decided I wanted a stock Kindle Fire
- I did master reset under the options menu on the kindle. That took out Go Launcher. I was trying to unroot with out researching , so I thought if I went under TWRP and did a factory reset that would take care of it. (No need to yell for not researching, wife has done that)
- Now I’m locked at the white/orange kindle fire screen
- I still get the blue/white kindle fire screen to show up with v 1.4a in top right corner.
- I’ve tried normal/recovery boot, no luck there.
- I’ve tried holding power button 10-30 seconds several times, no go there
- Under device manager the kindle is listed as android phone and adb composite device (?) Not sure that’s the exact wordage but it’s the one with composite in it.
- KFU shows offline, unknown root status.
- While stuck at the white/orange screen I am not able to acces the Kindle Fire sd card
- If I go into TWRP I am able to mount the SD card and access on the computer
- I downloaded 6.3.1 from Amazon. Changed it to a zip file and put it on the sd card.
- I wiped cache and delvack (spelling?)
- When I try installing 6.3.1 zip in TWRP I get an error message.
- Do I need to wait for another amazon update?
- What else can I try?
- If I need to do line commands, please make it as basic is possible. I have read the beginners postings form kinfauns. Postings 1 & 2 made complete sense. Posting 3 went over my head.
- Command lines I have tried “adb devices” no devices are listed (it’s blank). “fastboot devices” nothing happens, “fastboot device” gives a lot of command options. Not sure where to go from there.

Sounds like your system software is broken if a factory reset in TWRP won't get it to boot normally.
What's the name of the zip file before you copy it over to the /sdcard? When you look at it with the Windows explorer, the file icon should look like a folder with a zipper down the middle of it. If it doesn't have that, you haven't changed the name of the file properly and the file suffix is wrong. Do a google search on changing the file suffix on Windows for info.
What's the error when you install the zip file?

I downloaded the 6.3.1 file from Amazon's site. It had a long file name so I changed it to update. It has .bin followed behind it. I then right clicked on it, send to, compressed zipped folder. It does have the zipper folder.
I had the mount mode enabled through TWRP and copied it to the sd card and put it under the TWRP FOLDER.
Went back to the main menu in TWRP, install. Found the update file, started install. Started to install then stops. Can't remember wordage exactly, kindle is at home right now, but there's red letters that say error.

If I were you, I would install android sdk from google. then, use the sdk to install android tools and android platform tools. Make sure you installed to android sdk to the root file. Use twrp to reboot into bootloader. Plug in the kindle to usb. Then type this in (command prompt):
cd..
cd..
cd root
cd android-sdk
cd platform-tools
fastboot shell
reboot
Give that a try and tell me if it works.

I assume the first 2 "cd.." are to get me to the correct folders where android sdk is installed?

I think you had the .bin and then compressed it to. Zip that made it compressed it twice
You should
Download the kindle update
Open it up in notepad or something
Do save as
Save as update.zip
Then move it to sdcard/
Then flash in TWRP

I did initially try just the .bin file without the .zip, but I couldn't find it. Once as a .zip file I could find it.
I downloaded 6.3.1 from Amazon's site again. I tried opening in notepad, but it locks up. Tried wordpad, my save as options: rich text format (rtf), text document, text document-ms-dos format, Unicode text document. Don't see anything for .zip

Help
I got stuck in a nasty bootloop which Gregory was kind enough to help me out of by giving me the link to the Amazon Update. I was able to flash that and go back to stock. I then, possibly foolishly, thinking that I had lost root (did I?) ran the KFU utility which got stuck halfway through and now I am stuck on the white/orange kindle fire screen. Is there anyway to get out of this? I know, I suck. Your help and expertise is greatly appreciated.

[Q] Help restoring Kindle Fire (sending it back to Amazon)

So I followed the steps in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1638452) in the second post. I downloaded the update and renamed it update.zip and proceeded to do the factory reset. After this I went to install the update and was unable to locate it. So I went back to my computer and actually converted the file into a zip folder and copied it onto my kindle. This time it showed up but when I went to install it almost immediately came up with an error message ( Error flashing zip '/sdcard/update.zip' ).
I'm not sure if I was supposed to follow the steps in the first part of the post mainly because I have no idea what this means (adb uninstall com.noshufou.android.su) and because I've seen similar steps on other sites without the first half of that post.
Appreciate any help that can be provided.

You are supposed to rename the update.bin to update.zip, not zip up the original update.bin

When I did that I was unable to even locate the file.

I'm not sure if this makes a difference or not (in fact I'm pretty sure it doesn't) but the icon next to it is the VLC icon.
I've also tried using the kindle update utility to download the latest stock update zip. Nothing. I see my update.zip when I go into the file explorer under advanced or if I mount my usb to my computer but as soon as I go to install it's not showing up

hahaha I feel so dumb right now. I found it on the file explorer and it was named update.zip.bin. I then renamed it while in twrp and was able to find and install it. For whatever reason when I renamed it on my computer it would always end up as update.zip.bin

Download the update-kindle-6.3.1.bin from the Amazon website.
Rename the update-kindle-6.3.1.bin to update-kindle-6.3.1.zip.
Transfer the update-kindle-6.3.1.zip to the sdcard.
After wiping system and factory reset in TWRP, use the navigation window in the install menu of TWRP to navigate to your sdcard.
Flash the update-kindle-6.3.1.zip

[Q] ADB & Rooting to load clockwork mod

Hi,
I'm following the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
I am on the 3rd option and am trying to load the latest clockworkmod on my GS3, I have it downloaded, but it is an .img file.
The tutorial says:
if you download this recovery you will need to extract this file (if you have issues extracting try removing the .md5 extension first) to get a recovery.img file and copy to your phone's internal /sdcard
connect your phone to computer and use adb
type adb shell
once in the shell run su
then
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Can someone please explain this in more detail? I am looking for links to the ADB program I need as-well as how to use it to apply those commands.
Also I am having a hit-or-miss issues with Windows reading my phone as an external device, the phone reads as an established MTP connection but Windows sometimes reads it, or does not. What am I doing wrong here?
Thank you.
Info:
Phone: Samsung-SGH-I747
Carrier: AT&T
Andriod Version: 4.1.1
OS: Windows 8 64Bit
Samsung Software: Kies 2.5.0.12114_1

Here is how I done it. It's in a zip file if you already have the non-touch version installed. All you need to do with this is install from SD from CWM recovery. None of the adb stuff has to be messed with. 7th post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877761
Edit: This was on down in the post you quoted. If you don't have any CWM recovery installed, then do the below, then install the above touch version zip from sd in CWM recovery.
Third, alternate #3 if unfamiliar with adb commands and uncomfortable using any command line
Decide if you want to use TWRP or CWM.
If you would like to install ClockworkMod recovery then grab Rom Manager from the Play store and in the menu select to install ClockworkMod Recovery.

I am no expert by any means but you have to run those commands in the command prompt (DOS) system. Hit the start menu and find the run and type in cmd and that will open up command line or it should be in the Accessories folder as well.
If Windows sometimes doesn't recognize your phone I would uninstall and re install the drivers to see if that helps.
I have a heck of a time to get ADB and everything working when I first started so I know how you feel. Just keep reading the forums and everything and you will get it to work.

Currently my phone has NO clockwork Mod installed, I am wanting to install the latest version ( recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att ) I have this file in .img format, I am trying to figure out how to install it on my phone -- the tutorial says add it to your sdcard, I have done that, then it says connect to your phone and use ADB commands, that is the part where I need more information, also do I wipe cache/reset settings/dalvick cache during any of this process? Should my phone be in download mode when doing ADB commands or what specifically is where I do not understand.
I would like to understand the process more in-depth and ADB as well - opposed to going the RomManager route, from my research it seems that updates/versions are available first with that method.
Thanks

He gave you the link to the play store app in the post. It's android terminal emulator..type terminal emulator in play store its the top app.
I just merely gave you a second option which I did and functioned flawlessly. Grab Rom Manager from the play store and select the top option to flash CWM Recovery. It will ask you your phone type and carrier and then will give you the option to install it. Easier than the whole adb thing.

Ok that route did work, thanks.
Now I installed the latest CM10 Nightly - cm-10-20121206-NIGHTLY-d2att
And then rebooted and installed the latest Gapps - gapps-jb-20121011-signed
It does not seem that any of the google apps are in my apps
Also the Play Store no longer works....just "Connection Timed Out"
Specifically I am looking to use Google Now/G-Mail/Drive/Voice/etc...
Did I do something wrong? CWM said the Gapps installed successfully. Was I supposed to wipe cache somewhere?
Thanks for the help.

I have not noticed that. I used the same Gapps file to do mine and everything worked fine on I believe the 11-30 NIGHTLY, no wiping that I remember. Now this was before I got on Official JB, was still back on stock ICS. Haven't flashed CM since upgrading. I will after today as battery life sucks on the Official, if it does the same to me I will let you know.
Touch version of CWM is pretty sweet, no accidental clicks too far with the volume keys, works right from your screen. That was the link in the first post I gave you. Download it to your SD, go into recovery and install it from SD.

Looks like mine had no problems with the gapps 11-30 nightly coming from LK3. Haven't got around to downloading the latest nightly yet. Will do today. Let me know if you got it resolved.

Simple conversion of KF V1 to Android

Damn, NOW I find the regular KF forum. Sorry for the double-post...
Okay, semi-newb here. I've been able to replace the ROM on an Arnova tablet a year ago, and sideloaded Google play on a Polaroid tablet. I've been researching the simplest way to turn my Mom's Kindle Fire V1 into a simple android tablet with access to Google Play. If I can accomplish this, then I'm hoping to repeat the process on my son's Kindle Fire HD. I'd like to load one of the Nexus 7 Roms. Unfortunately, there's a /lot/ of different Nexus ROMs and methods, each with links to other software that I'm trying to understand. Please forgive my questions...
I've downloaded these apps:
-gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
-GooManager_2.1.3.apk
-Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9.zip
-SmoothROM-1.7_otter.zip

[Q] Can I flash the OTA zip in TWRP?

Finally, the OTA came out. But it's still not available in my area here (Malaysia) so I have to wait for it to come. But I'm a little short of patience here, and while the OTA zip files is out, I thought I could just sideload it via adb. But when I try to make it work, I spent 4 hours facing some adb problems. I'm using Linux most of the time, and I have Android SDK downloaded. It was so troublesome to make adb work. Initially adb just couldn't find my device. So I Googled about it, and did some modifications on the PC to solve the usb problem and finally adb could connect to my device (while in Android). Then I started to follow the instructions to sideload. I booted into TWRP recovery using adb command and just to be sure, I ran ./adb devices again while the device is in recovery. But then adb shows no device connected. Trouble. I thought it's the problem with some drivers so I used Windows to try it again. Same problem again. Then I started to Google about it and found some forums that mention that it only works when I manually boot into recovery (Volume Down+Power+Volume UP). I followed. And finally, it solved it. It was only the first problem. Then I pressed into adb sideload mode in TWRP and started sideload mode. And just to be sure again, ./adb devices, no device connected again. I thought it's some bug in TWRP, I stopped sideload mode, and went back to the main menu of TWRP (where adb once can detect the device) and ./adb devices again. Guess what, it shows no device again. Problematic. I restarted my pc for many times, switching from Windows and Ubuntu for many times, repeated the above steps for many times, but the problem is just so random. I even changed the usb cable but no luck. So I decided not to use adb anymore and I've Googled for just flashing ota in TWRP. But there's just very few articles on it. Most of them are using adb and stock recovery. Some of it mentioned that if custom recovery is present then it shouldn't have to be so complicated but none of them shows how to use custom recovery. And one of them says I could just flash the OTA zip file through custom recovery but no instructions for it. The last one is my ideal method now, but because of lack of references, I'm not sure about it.
In short:
-Nexus 7 with TWRP
-problems when using adb to communicate with my device whether it's in normal boot, TWRP recovery, sideload mode, or whatever
-problem is so random and I cant figure out whats the problem
-tried installing and uninstalling and installing drivers again and again
-I dont wanna lose my data
-fed up
Question:
Is the OTA zip file recovery flashable? I dont wanna mess with adb anymore. It just wont work properly with me. Or I have to wait for OTA to reach me?

Are you completely stock (besides the custom recovery)? In other words, have you made any changes to your system partition? (have you uninstalled any app? removed any system apk? installed XPosed framework? edited any file on the system partition?)
If your system partition is not completely stock, OTA may not work (depending on which file you modified).
If you are stock, yes, you can download the OTA zip file to your device (make sure you get the right one), and reboot into recovery, and just install it from recovery.
According to Androidpolice, 4.4.4 -> 5.0: razor LRX21P from KTU84P is available at http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-razor-LRX21P-from-KTU84P.5a0f7a47.zip
If your device is the razor, and is currently on LRX21P, you can download this and flash it.

Thanks for answering. This helped me a lot. As I remember I did not modify the system except for xposed which I uninstalled beforehand. What's the worst that could happen if I flash the ota on a modified system?

When you uninstalled XPosed, I hope you opened XPosed app and clicked the "Uninstall" button from there (instead of just uninstalling XPosed app itself). If not, you will need to reinstall XPosed, uninstall from within the app, and the uninstall the app.
(XPosed modifies a file on your system partition - if you use the uninstall from within the app, it will restore the original file. If you just uninstall the app, the modified file will be left on the system partition).
Worst case scenario - the OTA will fail. I don't think it will cause your existing OS to stop working.

cool! (it will almost certainly require a new XPosed app because of all the changes that Lollipop brought, but it won't hurt to leave it installed)
Edit: Just read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56748099&postcount=5 - looks like you will need to uninstall XPosed too
