Hi,
I am a total noob. I don't even know the proper expressions for this whole thing.
So this is my case:
I am outside the US and bought the Kindle Fire with a 6.3 firmware, couple of days ago.
Being curious about what it all can do, created a fake account with a test credit card as I read somewhere in the net.
Then downloaded the KFU 0.9.5 and rooted the device, everything went according to the plan, so I thought.
Then I discovered I had to use something called Market Opener to install other apps. But this Market Opener never worked.
So I found out that I had to change permissions. But this cannot happen as I get that message that adb services can not run in production builds etc. whatever that may mean.
So I downloaded Android SDK, followed the instructions installed it but I still cannot get into the root and change folder permissions. Sometimes it recognizes the device, sometimes not and when it does it tells me the same thing as above.
Then I would need some .apk to do the thing on the device but I cannot install those as I don't have the Market Opener or the Google Play and I cannot get those if I don't have superuser permissions to change things in Folders.
Basically I have been spending the last 3 days in searching the net for answers but to no avail.
So, can someone help me please? What I need to do is being able to install some apps including Market Opener / Google Play and being able to watch Amazon VOD. Is this possible?
Please bear in mind that I have no clue of the specific language, i.e. I don't know what flash is and how to do it nor I know how to do a backup and restore or how to reset everything in the original state.
SO if some of you have the patience to help, please advice me with some noob language so that I can understand.
Thanks in advance for the help that will come
Are you looking to put a custom rom on it or just root? If you're looking to keep Amazon services, you can put MoDaCo's rom on it, which is just like your kindle out of the box with a few extra bells and whistles. There are alot of guides floating around on how to get ADB working. There's an excellent beginners guide in the General section that I highly advise checking out.
Noob terms: if you want to keep the Amazon experience, I reccomend MoDaCo. Look for it in the development fourms.

Thanks for ur answer.
I have read a lot of guides out there but I seem not to be able to get the ADB working as I always get the message I gave in the original post plus the fact that sometimes it recognizes the device and sometimes not.
I have read the beginners guide which was excellent but without the ADB working there is little I can do I suppose.
As I wrote, I want to play with the device to see what it is able to do and want to use the Amazon VOD if possible. I.e. I would like to be able to use Google Play to get apps on will and still keep the Amazon services. Would that be possible with the MoDaCo staff?
Ok. I downloaded the MoDaCo staff.
Must I reset the kindle to the factory settings before I install that? If yes, how?
And how do I flash it?
Make sure you are in fact rooted.
You seem like you know enough about adb to try the following commands.
adb shell
ls /system/xbin
Look for a file called "su" in the list
Then...
ls /system/app
Look for a file called "Superuser.apk"
A lack of either of these means you're not rooted and may be the source of your problems
If you are trying to change system file permissions through adb...
adb root
adb remount
adb shell chmod blah /blah/blah/yadayada
Just don't literally type "blah /blah/blah/yadayada"

a factory reset won't really help you because you're basically replacing the operating system. pretty sure all amazon services are working with modaco. to install it, look around for a guide on how to install something called firefirefire (FFF) and TWRP. pretty sure that can all be done with kfu in a couple clicks. then copy the modaco zip onto your kindle, go into the wipe menu and clear out system, cache, dalvik cache, and data (factory reset), then go into install and choose the modaco zip. reboot and you should be set.

Thank you for your answer.
I would gladly follow your advice but the adb does not find my device. I don't know whether this is normal and if I must reboot my PC.
The kfu also gives me an offline status...

Thanks again for the fast answer. I am impressed!
Doesn't the FFF and the TWRP get installed automatically with the kfu?
its most likely your computer. a reboot might help. if not, how did you install the drivers? are you using a mac or pc? try installing the drivers that came bundled with KFU.
if you're using a PC, go into device manager and see if something about android ADB pops up. if not, it's your drivers.

haha, no problem .
if FFF was installed, you should see a picture of fire in a caution sign or an android logo over the kindle fire logo when you boot it up. if all you see is kindle fire, then you don't have fff. im pretty sure you need fff to get into twrp. if fff is installed, you should be able to hop into fastboot and install twrp if it's not installed yet.

I am using a PC ( a netbook, don't laugh, I'm on vacation!!)
I installed the drivers using the install_bat from the kfu.
In device manager I see Android Phone and underneath Android Composite ADB Interface...
interesting. check my previous post and see if you have FFF installed. adb should be working fine if device manager can find it. if you can, run adb devices into cmd and see if it picks up your kindle. not sure if the stock rom has a development switch in the settings.. if there's an option to enable usb debugging, make sure that is on. if not, just try moving usb ports and running adb devices.
If adb has trouble recognizing your device, it means it's a driver issue. Either Windows, KFU or a combination of the two causes the drivers to fail for some reason.
Uninstall/delete your current drivers in device manager (may require reboot)
Turn your Kindle off
Reinstall drivers
Turn your Kindle on
Retry adb commands

I have FFF as I see the fire in a caution sign (yellow triangle thing right?)
ADB still doesn't pick my kindle after a PC restart.
No usb debugging available in the stock rom.
I will uninstall and reinstall the drivers from device manager.

that's fantastic... if you have FFF, try pressing the power button a couple times as it turns on and see if you can get into recovery. you shouldn't need adb now. if you can get into recovery, just wipe and flash the new rom. if you don't, you can use fastboot to install it.

Ok...I reinstalled the drivers
now ADB gets the kindle
I do adb shell
then ls / system /xbin
no such file or directrory
the same goes with the
ls / system / app
But if I give su I get
su

Now what?
And in which directory should I transfer the MoDaCo Rom?

if you want to use adb, should be ls /system/xbin. make sure you put the space after the ls. i would still recommend flashing modaco nevertheless... that shouldn't need adb. just maybe fastboot if your recovery isnt installed.

i neeed your help im so confused
Why are you in fastboot, you just need to sideload the ROM onto twrp. Usually u just goto advanced>side load and swipe the thing. Then on your PC put the ROM in the same folder as adb command if you haven't setup your paths, and run adb.exe sideload filename.zip. that will typically do the job.

thanks for your help but adb doesnt recognize my kindle fire! when in CMD i type "ADB Devices" no devices showd up and when "ADB usb" error shows
i think this is the cuase why your tip doesnt work for me (
ive tried this but step 3 give an error
Had been searching on & off over 2 months & finally found the sol
This now lets you use the KFU util and others to root & install new OS etc
You need to have installed ANDROID SDK and extras-usb & JAVA se
1)
you will need to modify the following two files:
a. adb_usb.ini – You can find it under your Users\YourUsername\.android folder
In a typical Windows 7 installation, adb_usb.ini will be located under C:\Users\YourUserNameHere\.android
Open the adb_usb.ini file with a text editor (Notepad is just fine) and add the following line at the end (on a new line). Save and exit.
0×1949
2)
android_winusb.inf – You can find it under the folder you installed the Android SDK, in my case C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
Open the file with a text editor (notepad is again good enough), locate [Google.NTx86] section and also the [Google.NTamd64] section and add the following lines to each section, like in the screenshot.
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
3)
Note: If your device list is empty, maybe you plugged-in Kindle Fire before you installed Android SDK and Android USB Drivers. In this case you’ll need to force load the Android USB driver. Right click on My Computer and select Properties then navigate to Device Manager. Under Other Devices you should see Kindle with a yellow icon containing an exclamation point.
Right Click on Kindle name and select Update Driver Software. A Dialog will pop-up asking how do you want to search for driver software. Select Browse and point toward the folder containing Google USB Driver (in my case C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver). Select Next and proceed with the installation, choose Install this driver anyway when prompted.
Ok now you can
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
d. type adb kill-server followed by enter
e. type adb devices. If everything is fine, you should see a connected device (your Kindle Fire)
0000666665555 device

i put my kf in recovery mod and plug in the cable!
why have i these problems ?
but again i wanna say thank you bro:good:
So in the task manager is showing a device with an exclamation mark over it right? If so right click the device and hit properties, then goto the details tab, and choose hardware id's from the drop down menu and post them here, I'll see about modifying the driver if I can. Don't know why mine wouldn't work I had the old and new vendor id's for twrp in that.

ok i guess the hd 8'd have a slightly different pid than the 7 inch model, here i uploaded the updated version to this thread. Try updating the amazon kindle hd device and using recovery if u can, its a better option to just reflash stuff from that rather than fastboot unless u need to, makes things little bit easier imo. This should also work with the jem-pvt-prod-04 device as well,

i flashed recovery.img to my kindle using flashify and than i rebooted it than it came up saying kindle fire than the red screen slides across the screen. the app says that you may see a red screen.so im stuck now.
You probably just need to reflash the recovery partition from fastboot.
Hello, I Have a Kindle Fire 1st Gen. I Had CM 10.1 on it. I was attempting to put AOSP back on it for My Wife.

So This Screwed me "Bricked" Message comes up in TWRP when rebooting, says ( NO OS ) . I have Tried Kindle unbrick utility with no success when clicking on "Stuck at Logo" in utility I get this Error ...> PIC Attatched!>
I then Tried Using android-sdk ( I have went in and edited the files that need to be edited in program files/android...> File_android_winusb as well as in .android folder in the appdata location) Along with CMD & I get a Error So far into the process of Resetting Kindle OS. Pic Attatched as well. It Seems Like I have something missing ?!?!?
I somewhat Suck at CMD, I don't have much experience with it, so Please go slow on me,when Giving advise....

My Kindle is a 1st Gen.

The when I type "adb shell" I get a error saying (Failed: No such file or directory <2> - ) You can see this in the screen shot I attached to this thread..
Sorry, I looked at what forum this was in and got a little confused...silly me :silly:
Anyway, back on track...
You should not be receiving that error in TWRP. If you are, then something is seriously wrong with it and probably needs to be reinstalled. Other than that, I'm having trouble seeing where the problem is. (the pic shows that you're not in recovery, btw)
You clearly have access to adb, so...why aren't you using 'adb push' to transfer a new ROM to your sdcard to flash in recovery?

I have no idea what you're saying.
All you need to do is, boot into recovery (TWRP), use adb to "push" a ROM to your sdcard (adb push...), then install the ROM in recovery.

Try to understand what you're being told. I'm not saying anything about mounting your sdcard to transfer files to it so get that idea out of your head for a moment.
You need to boot into recovery and use the command 'adb push' to transfer a ROM to your sdcard, then flash it in recovery.

I am attempting to understand what u are saying But I'm thinking ur not giving full step after step instructions OR this Version I have (v2.6.0.0) differs from Yours, Because there is No such OPTION as ADB PUSH.....

So I rooted my kindle fire 8.9 and installed a 2nd bootloader along with team win recovery the root went fine but as soon as I installed the 2nd bootloader the kindle dose not go past silver kindle fire page I can load custom recovery but nothing else
Someone please help me with this
So it won't boot into the os, but will go into recovery. That a been happening with the latest update apparently, if it detects twrp or the modded boot loader it throws a fit and won't boot, you need to push a rom to flash to twrp and either downgrade the os, or flash a custom ROM. To do this you need to know how to use command prompt and adb, so if you know that much you would run something like this: adb push filetoflash.zip /sdcard/filetoflash.zip
From there its a simple matter of installing the file from inside twrp. If you need more details just reply back.

Eh idk if there's a tutorial for this exactly but there are plenty of threads with this problem and something similar where they accidentally wiped the internal storage and had to do same thing that you are having to do basically. I can point you in the right direction, just tell me what ROM you want on it, and I'll do my best to give you some instructions to get it onto the device.

cm 10.1 i guess just want to get this fixed so all help is appreciated don't want to have to throw the kindle away
OK sorry for the long wait, my friend bought me a copy of reach today since it was the only halo game I hadn't played so I put off writing a small tutorial until I was done.
First you need a working copy of adb, and your drivers working with twrp, so if you don't have a copy of adb handy, download my wallpaper fix and extract it so that there's a folder on the c drive called"stunts wallpaper fix", if you have adb somewhere else, just adjust how I say to do that to using the other path. So after u have extracted my fix to c:\, you should open the folder and see adb.exe in there, now download these 2 files into that folder:
http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/cm10.1/cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip
Now boot the kindle into twrp and plug it i to your pc and open a command prompt, I usually do it from a run box but searching the start menu for it works also. Once its open type "CD c:\stunts wallpaper fix" and press enter, now type "adb.exe devices" and make sure your device is listed' if it isn't open the device manager and check for a device with a triangle, if there is use the driver link in my signature to update the drivers to that and it should work. Anyways if your drivers are going well and it lists itself under devices, type this into command prompt "adb.exe push cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-jem.zip /sdcard/", then when it's done type "adb.exe push gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip /sdcard/". If all goes well the files should be on the device, if you are coming from stock amazon I would tell twrp to backup only the data partition, since your system partition is kinda useless at this point, and once u have a backup you need to do a factory reset under wipe I believe, I don't remember for sure so I'll say do this even though the factory reset probably covers most of this, do a advanced wipe as well, only check cache, dalvik cache, and system. Now tell it to wipe. Once that is done hit install on the home screen and choose the cm 10.1 file on the sdcard first, and swipe to install it, then once done go to install again and choose the gapps and install it too, now reboot into the system. Tada!
If this is confusing or you need help with something else just post back, I know I didn't exactly organize this post very well but I kinda did it from my kindle so it wasn't easy to format it.

Ok how do you use the driver link from your signature, I'm using windows 8 and can't get any drivers to install. I sold my kindle and now it's stuck on the blue kindle fire logo. I stupidly wiped everything including system in twrp .
Windows 8 is a bit more tricky because you have to boot the os up with driver signature enforcement disabled, look it up on Google, once you do that you go into the device manager a d find the device with an exclamation and hit update driver, then browse to the folder where you extracted the files from the zip in my signature,

Thanks .. I'll give it a go tonight
My KF is having some problems. I followed the tutorial from Cyanogen for the installation, and I got to the point where I finished flashing the recovery (twrp (don't know which version, it's from this site). I have a bootable device that will go into recovery, but when booting into standard Kindle OS, the device is unable to boot, and gets stuck on the KF logo. I am unable to use ADB to push the rom onto the device for flashing, and I cannot copy it manually because I cannot boot. My fastboot drivers are working, but when I go into Device Manager on Win7, my kindle shows up with the triangle + exclamation point. I can't update this driver as nothing works, and I've literally tried every possible solution on the internet.
thanks in advance
shameless self bump
Have you tried the drivers in my signature? You right click the device and hit update drivers and point it to where my drivers where extracted to use them.
I have tried your drivers - I tried that before coming here. When I extracted the driver files and pointed the install to the directory, it didn't give any install. It said drivers were not found and that's where I got stuck. Does the mounting of the internal storage not work in TWRP?
No it does not, you have to adb push them or adb side load them. If you tell me the vid and pid listed in the devices hardware id's on the details tab of its properties in the device manager maybe I can update my drivers to help you.
okay let me see:
do you want the pid and hid in TWRP mode or fastboot mode
in the hardware IDs these are listed:
USB\VID_1949&PID_0008&REV_0216&MI_00
USB\VID_1949&PID_0008&MI_00
Those are the two when booted into TWRP. If you need anything else like fastboot hid then I'll provide those as well.

You may be having a driver install problem. Windows 8/7 64bit must disable security enforcement. This is for Windows 7.
Disable device driver signature enforcement -
Both must be done from the administrator profile to work right
Both of these are for Windows 7 X64 users.
Windows 7 X32 and earlier version users do not have this issue
A.
1. Reboot and on start up press F8 a couple times.
2. Scroll down to "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement."
Note: This must be done on every bootup you want to install something not MS signed.
B. For a more permanent solution.
1. First go and uninstall the driver (delete driver) you want to replace and then restart your computer.*
2. Now go to the start menu and type cmd.
3. Right click on "cmd" and open a command prompt with elevated privileges (run as administrator.)
4. Now copy these in the command prompt one at a time hitting enter after each one.
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
4. Now install the driver you want.
5. Restart the computer.
6. Profit.
Note: If you do this right, you will see "Test Mode Windows 7 Build 7601" (or something comparable) in the lower right corner of your screen. This means that drivers not signed by MS can be installed without getting the Windows has installed the best driver already bit.
If you opt to take your computer out of test mode, the drivers will more than likely be replaced by MS drivers the next time you restart your computer. Follow steps 1,2 and 3 in part B of tutorial, copy these commands in the command prompt one at a time hitting enter after each one.
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Now restart your computer.

Thanks for the reply but
I don't have drivers installed at all The kindle fire in the device manager shows with a little yellow triangle and exclamation and it says no compatible driver found. Fastboot still works though. Can anyone link me to the stock kfOS for me to reflash back to stock kindle fire?

Fastboot is not gonna work if you don't have your usb drivers set up and your tablet recognized. Your tablet has to be recognized and that yellow triangle says it's not.

nonononono it's quite weird
In fastboot mode, the device is easily recognized by the computer. i can flash and have no problems whatsoever. When I try to use TWRP to copy the image to the device, that's where I get the issue.

If you want, copy and paste your environment path here. Let's check and make sure it looks good.

And what do you mean by that? What is the environment path?
I know it can be flashed in fastboot as the computer recognizes it and fastboot detects it as a device. It's just that in twrp the computer is unable to find any drivers for it.

In order for your tablet to be recognized in fastboot, you would have had to set the path. I think your bs'n me.

m8 I have no idea what you are talking about.
I started the cyanogen mod tutorial that they have on the wiki, and I got to flashing the custom bootloader and the twrp recovery mode. After that, the device wasn't recognized during TWRP mounting so I wasn't able to mount and copy over the CM image for installation. That's why I am stuck now. Could you please link me to or attach the kindleOS stock rom so I can flash it and go back to stock kindleOS. Right now I have an expensive brick and it's seriously bugging me.

Do you mean the windows path? If you do, I used the installer I found on this website along with the kindle fastboot drivers found from amazon and it was already added to the path.
another shameless self bump.
bump?
im facing the same problem here, i restored my kf hd 8.9 back to stock using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468988
however, i just cant connect to the device via adb. fastboot is working, so the drivers are fine. adb has been enabled on the device's settings panel.
i need adb to root the device and reinstall the 2nd bootloader for custom roms.
It might actually be a driver problem, switching between twrp, fastboot, and a android os have caused issues for me before where I NAD to uninstall the driver and reinstall it, and sometimes it would have a USB composite USB device I'd have to remove to fix it(had a bird of 1949 so I new it was the kindle).
surprisingly restoring back to stock and then doing it again worked. I'm now running 4.4.4
Thanks for the help stunts, sjj, and linear
