[Q] Cannot install clockwork mod

Used the one click el29 root and then used e4gauto, but option c, L just gets me an error:
failed to copy 'copy2sd/000root/superuser.apk -> /sdcard/000root/superuser.apk'
not a directory.
Flashed back to stock el29 and started over, same result. Any idea on how to get clockwork mod flashed onto this phone?

I'd suggest using the Odin method from sfhub (again). Download the file then use something like 7zip or Winzip to extract the actual OneClick.exe file to a folder of your choice. Then run if run it from there. Make sure you are able to boot a few times and all works (I usually use the no data file to preserve my settings). Then head over to the e4gauto etc. One thing I have found (and MANY others too!) is to make sure you use a very good USB cable. I have had SO many problems with roots/etc. because of ****ty cables! It is incredible the amount of time I've wasted when all I needed was to just get a new good USB cable! For printers, phones, cameras and other devices. Good luck

Cannot install clockworkmod
I have tried the odin method several times, both nodata and the one that cleared my settings. I have no problem with rooting. I even urooted back to stock with a factory reset and started over.
I have been using the Samsung usb cable that came with the phone. It has never failed me in the past.
It seems as though eg4auto is trying to access a directory that doesn't exist. On my phone superuser.apk is located in the system\apps directory. I think Eg4auto is looking for 000root\superuser.apk.

It appears you may have missed the pre-requisite that usb storage mode should be disable (ie the android guy should be green)

Cannot install clockworkmod
I thought of that, but you cannot get into usb storage mode when you have USB Debugging ticked. Or am I missing something here?

You can in fact connect to USB storage with debugging enabled.
You must have debugging enabled and USB storage must not be enabled.

Then I must be a complete idiot. if I turn on debugging mode and go to usb storage, it tells me to turn off debugging mode. If I go to usb storage first and get the green man, then go back to tick debugging mode it will not allow it until I disconnect cable.

WoW just WoW. think hard, you can do it, I have faith in ya.

How about a hint?

Well, I was messing around and hit "stop adb". Now I get a "more than one device or emulator". Reflashed el29 with odin one click, but still get the error message.

Hint, you're in the wrong mode (USB). You might want to reread the directions.

cannot install clockworldmod
Ok. Here's what I do. First make sure debugging mode is on. Then connect usb cable. I slide down the notification bar and click on connected to usb which brings me to the screen with the green guy.
At that point I run the program and get an error. What am I missing?

Sounds like a bad download. Redownload try it over. report back. I actually have not used this method. I rooted with bubbys **** a long time ago and have never had to go back to stock. But I will try to help ya out.

What error are you getting now? Is it the same as before or a different error?
All that part of the script is doing is using adb to push some files to your phone in the /sdcard/000root directory.
If you do "adb shell" and "cd /scard", then type "ls -l", what do you see?
If it has no files or subdirectories, then your /sdcard partition is not visible for some reason.

Listen to Sfhub. He will not steer ya wrong.

Bear with me here. Do I do those commands on the phone using connectbot in local mode? If so, the adb shell command returns "adb: not found". Or do I need the developer toolkit?

When you plug in the phone as long as usb debugging is on, you shouldn't be clicking on the green android, that would enable usb mode. The files will be pushed thru adb you should not have be clicking anywhere on the green android guy.

Does your USB storage mode look like this:

}
It should NOT be orange. It should look exactly like the picture above.
If you need to run "adb shell", use Option D, then choose adb shell. If your auto root package doesn't have "adb shell" as an option, get the latest one.
Then type:
Code:
cd /sdcard
ls -l

Yes it looks exactly as pictured. That's why I was sure it wasn't that i had the usb mode wrong. I will try your other suggestion and get back to you.

I got what looks like a directory of the sd card.
Now when I run eg4tauto I am getting daemon not running, adb server didn't ack

[Q] KFU Online, Boot Unkown, Drivers Working, TWRP Vanished.

I had a working Kindle Fire. Made a Backup of my OS/ROM using TWRP. Moved that to my Desktop.
Formatted and Installed Stock 6.xx
Rebooted...And now i'm in a static Kindle Fire Logo
Tried Fast (5001), Recovery (4002), Normal (4000)
KFU and Plain adb did not help.
When plugged in.. Green Light, Unplugged No Light.
"If it's not broken, Don't fix it." - My Mom
*Face Palm*
Edit* I tried fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
Just keep saying < Waiting for Device >
Everything says < Waiting for Device >
It will reboot on Command, but after reboot it does < Waiting for Device >
Iv also seen a post with a Pic and it showed ABCDEF1234567 (Or something like that) when I type adb Devices
Mine says 2DDA002600000001
Edit**
"fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000"

Believe it or not, your problem is as "simple" (sarcasm implied) as fixing your drivers so the computer can communicate with the device in fastboot mode.

How would I go about fixing my Drivers?
I used Device Manager and uninstalled anything related to the Kindle.
I stopped windows from updating it and installed KFU's Drivers.
*Edit Do I need SDK Installed? Iv just been using KFU.
Ill install anyway.
I also Modded my adb_usb.ini (Or something like that)
**Edit I read a reply you made on another Thread.
Code:
adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp
[/QUOTE]
Failed
Ill stick with the Drivers for Now as you said.
I tried the Push commands and that works. But any Adb Shell commands does nothing.
Can I push a new Adb Shell or Push FFF (What ever that is) or TWRP and go from there?
I was able to push a fbmode file

*Edit: I dont thank this matters. But...
If I turn on the kindle it does one of two things.
#1. Shows KF Logo Bright, Then Dem, Then Bright, then two Green squares apeare on the top and bottom right for 0.2 of a Sec and disappear.
#2. Shows KF Logo, then No Screen and Green Light turns off and screen and light turns back on.
I also included a Picture of KFU.

In device manager do view -> show hidden devices
then remove anything labeled kindle or android adb / android composite
Use KFU install_driver.bat and then play around with KFU to see what happens...

It probably won't do any good. You need good communication between the device and your computer (drivers) before anything significant happens. Yes, it's a pain (thank Microsoft), but short of using a different computer or another operating system altogether, it's your only option.

Ill try my Aunts computer. I have never hooked up my Kindle to it.
Ill even install Ubuntu it that will make it work. Ill do just about anything,

Just remember, Linux isn't "plug-n-play" like Windows is. In addition to installing drivers, you have to set up your udev rules and make sure you have all of the appropriate libraries and packages installed, which can be complicated for some users. Luckily there's Google.

First of all, the factory cable, while it's extremely useful and nice to have, just in case. It won't help you if you can't get the computer to detect properly. If you know someone with a Mac that would be willing to use it for this purpose, it's likely that would be the easiest route. Linux isn't THAT complicated, just different, and you need to be comfortable using the command line, but it is the most likely to work out of all of them.
As far as reinstalling your OS, there are no guarantees that it will fix the problem, only improve your chances. I'm not going to be the one to tell you it's a good or bad idea either way.

I looked into Linux and FireKit. I do not have a Flash Drive but I did some cds.
Took me a few but I got the basics down for Terminal.
I tryed "Sudo ./fk" & "Sudo ./normal_boot"
But it keeps saying no fastboot.
So I downloaded Kindle Fire Utiltiy and placed FireKit in KFU and still nothing.
I understand it says to use Flash Drive. But is that a must??
I looked on Google and YouTube for a How-To and Nothing,

Short answer...yes.

Have you tried to charge the kindle for a whole day with a wall charger? I found it that ever time I had to screw around with a KF, it was much easier to get stuff done with it fully charged.
Per my earlier comment, deleting old drivers somehow also fixes some issues. Try charging your kindle with the wallcharger, get a good microUSB cable and start anew. It took me 3 computers and about 5 hours to get my third KF rooted and booted.... KF:never again

I got a friends Two GB laying around here somewhere. I just need to find. I might just take my Laptop over there this Sunday.
I broke my Kindle Fire Wall Charger. But they are 5v DC. So I cut a Computer PSU and added a MicroB and shorted the PSU to run with out a computer. I can add a tutorial if wanted.
*Note - Computer PSU is a great stable 3.3, 5v, 12v DC Power. And High Amps. Warning! They will kill you.
Example. My PSU does 2.5A @ 5v. You need 0.01 Amps to kill you. That's 2,500x whats needed to kill you.

I installed Ubuntu on my Computer, I then Installed the :idiot-proof" and adb works.
Any command I type from the List I get eather <Waiting for Device> or waiting for OMAP44xx device

[Q] "Unable to connect" using ADB -- so no sideloading

My Amazon Fire TV seems to work fine. I can access the ADB Debugging option via: System>Developer>Options>Debugging. I can select "ON," and it changes to a blue highlight.
I also know the IP Address both via the Fire TV and via my router (running Tomato), where I assigned a static IP address to the Fire TV. I've tried to acces it via terminal both on my Android phone and on my Linux machine (with ADB installed).
But when I do the sequence outlined here:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb connect <ipaddress>​
I get this error: "unable to connect to <ipaddress>"
Anyone have any idea why? The Fire TV is connected via wifi, but I'm not sure why that would matter.
I've seen a number of random posts around the web with the same question, but no solution. So help is definitely needed!

Few suggestions. First, it could be an issue with your router, firewall, wifi, etc. Also, make sure your computer or android device is using the same router when you try to connect. I have two in my house, and almost went crazy when I could not connect to the 3rd FTV I tried to program until I realized my phone was on the other one.
These devices are easy to sideload, so IMO it is probably your router and id check that first. If you have another router, id try that too. Wired up on ethernet.

Have you tried pinging the FTV from your PC to make sure your PC can actually "see" the FTV on your network?

try adding :5555 to the end of the IP.

Thanks everyone! Byrdcfmma was right: It appears that not only must the FireTV be on the same network, but also on the same exact router. I have multiple routers on the same network, and it would only work if I am on the same exact router.
I solved this by ensuring my android device was on the WiFi network of the router that I then connected, via ethernet, to the FireTV.

How to debug my app installed on fire tv stick using chrome://inspect ?

Amazon Fire TV Stick: Turned off Internet and Diabled Bluetooth

My Fire TV Stick has disconnected form the Internet and Bluetooth has been disabled. This means my Fire TV Remote does not work because it needs Bluetooth and i can not connect using the Fire TV Remote App or any other remote app because it needs the internet.
How did this happen?
I sideloaded an app called ES Task Manger it needed an update so i updated it the newly updated version needed a mouse so i used an app that allows me to use a mouse on the app. The newly updated version of this app has changed a lot so i was looking to see what has changed because the app had changed a lot i did know what some things did. I saw a little button at the bottom of the screen i pressed it thinking it would tell me what it is but instead it was a button for optimization and it turned off the internet connection and turned of Bluetooth.
adb is enabled on the Fire TV Stick but I have no Internet Connection.
How am i going to communicate to the device so i can connect it to the internet or enable Bluetooth.

Try this.
You should e able to navigate the menus and re-enable bluetooth to get the remote working again

Or the bt should re-enable when you restart.

I have restarted the Fire TV Stick by plugging it out of the socket and plugging it back in.
When it start it says Loading Home... and in the background it does not warn me that there is no internet connection. Firestarter then starts and then the screen saver of images starts.

Are you rooted?
If you are try connecting to adb through USB and
Code:
su
svc wifi enable
or
Code:
adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
update secure set value=1 where name='wifi_on';
(You might have to ls and cd around to make sure that that path is correct)
If not rooted try:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings
adb shell input keyevent xx & adb shell input keyevent xx...
And change the xx to the keyevents for the button presses to access the wifi enable button, my stick is packed away at the minute so can't jot them down.
Once you've got wifi going, adb in and do the button presses to turn bluetooth back on.

This would definitely help...
You also can do it using the USB cable that came with the fire stick. This is the USB cable that you also use to power it.
Unplug Stick from TV.
Plug in USB Cable to Stick
Plug in other end of USB cable into Laptop
Install Fire TV Drivers and ensure they are installed correctly (google it)
Open CMD
Run adb devices, if drivers are installed correctly continue from a couple of posts up.

listen to Dude360 he defininitly knows more than me

I plugged the Fire TV Stick into the laptop but it said AFTM driver not found.

Thank you so much i have manage to fix the internet and Bluetooth connection. My device is now back to normal after a fer hours messing around. I thought this problem would of not been fixable i was wrong. I really appreciate the help. Now i have learnt how to use my laptop with my Fire TV Stick with a USB port it will be much easier to install app. Am i able to root my device by using any software? if not what can i do to my Fire TV Stick whilst using a USB port?

What precisely fixed your issue? It was a bit obscure, so it would help in the future to know!

I did what Dude360 said
1. Unplug Stick from TV.
2. Plug in USB Cable to Stick
3. Plug in other end of USB cable into Laptop
4. Install Fire TV Drivers and ensure they are installed correctly (google it)
5. Open CMD
6. Run adb devices, if drivers are installed correctly continue from a couple of posts up.
but at number 4 when i plugged the device into the laptop windows said it could not find any driver to install so i found a program that installs the drivers as well as a manager for the device. The program name is Mobomarket.
When the program had finished installing it showed me all the apps i had install so i knew that the device is now connected to the laptop correctly.
I then ran the commands that Dude360 provided me with
Code:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings
adb shell input keyevent xx & adb shell input keyevent xx...
but when I entered the command into the adb through cmd it gave me an error, so I used the other command instead
Code:
svc wifi enable
my device is not rooted but I gave it a try and when I entered it in it then said something like Svc wifi enable on/off so I typed in svc wifi enable on. WIFI was now enabled, but to use the remote I need Bluetooth to be on. So I search for some commands to enable Bluetooth, but they did not work, but then I remembered that I had Wukong TV Remote install onto the Fire TV Stick and on my phone so I then used the mouse to go back into the ES Task Manager and enabled Bluetooth again but if i had the setting.apk app install i probably could of enabled Bluetooth from there as well. If you do not have the Wukong TV Remote install you could just install it with MoboMarket or you can use try to use adb shell input keyevent xx to enable Bluetooth or WIFI .

Glad you got it sorted
ADB etc is a pain when first starting out but definitely something everyone needs to learn when playing with any Android based device, it can be a life saver.
As for rooting etc, check the dev forum, theres all the tuts in there. Basically you just install Kingroot and click root.
In terms of what else you can do with adb USB, well, its mainly for development so....

Exact same issue, help please!
Hi
I have the same issue as the op had after installing the es task app. Firestick goes on and then home screen goes blank and not able to remotely control the stick through WiFi or bluetooth as they both must have been turned off .
I have adblink and the Firestick connected to it through usb. What do I do code wise? Bit of a novice though with this and any help would be much appreciated.

Dear Dude360, I have the same problem of b25439612 and I did connect the Fire TV to my laptop using the USB cable, installed Mobomarket and all needed drivers, and CMD is up and running and it listing my device correctly but non of the commands for rooted and not-rooted devices are running correctly. Can I have your advice and instructions please>

ADB Devices Empty - But can ADB Connect To Fire TV?

Not sure why.......but ADB Devices is empty. I can do ADB connect IP addy and it works fine..but nothing on the device list. Tried restarting the Fire TV...replugging the ethernet cable....renabling/enabling Debugging...can anyone please assist?

It could be that it's connecting but then being disconnected by an app you have installed, like FireStarter. Try manually force quitting all your apps, then toggle ADB Debugging off and on a few times in the Fire TV settings, then connect ADB from your PC and see if it sticks.
