bricked?

My phone was just downloading a file and now it won't boot past the green HTC logo white screen. The last rom I was using was one of mikroms. I have tried to restore from a backup as well as flashing a new from via recovery. I get an error during installing boot.img- I even get errors when recovery boots up. I posted images of my hbootand recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use a newer recovery. I recommend 4EXT recovery touch. Also, you're probably gonna have to flash a new ROM. You also don't need to manually flash the boot.IMG since you're s-off.

I already tried installing a new from, what I was saying is that error about installing boot.img happened when it was trying to install the from via recovery. For right now I'm just trying to get the phone to boot up. I don't think a different recovery will make that happen

Well considering yours is super outdated, it could be. Older recoveries may not work right all the time. Thus being why they released later versions.

Dude, even if you don't think a diffrent recovory will help just do it anyway. You can't break your phone anymore than it already is.

Had this happen a while back. Had to run a stock ruu, then reload recovery, then flash super user for root.

You're on an old radio, too. Probably the recovery is the culprit, though.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys. I'll try to flash a new recovery tonight and if that doesn't work I'll try updating radios. I'll post back with results. Cheers!

Well Im basically stuck. My computer will not recognize the inc. I have never synced this device up with this computer when it was up and running. Only with my rezound. Either way when the device is connected adb will not recognize the device as well as the computer will not recognie the usb device. Every file i try to push to it in bootloader i get error messages that device was not found. Tried fastboot flashing a new recovery as well as new radios but no luck. Ive also reinstalled htc sync, then removed. Recognizes my rezound no problem

if you have a micro->sd card adapter, place the recovery onto the root of it then go into CWM and install from sdcard, see if that works

Are you saying to install the new recovery zip, in recovery? I didn't think you could do that, and it didn't work. I've tried flashing new radios but it gets stuck on the very last part of the update and freezes until I take the battery out.

I only tried in the boot loader. So you're saying connect it to the computer while in recovery, and then run the fast boot flash recovery command?

Install drivers, turn phone on by holding down volume plus power, then go into recovery, then plug phone to PC. Should be recognized now.

The computer does recognize the device when i go into recovery. Then when i run the flash recovery command through adb it says waiting for device. It will not show sending recovery though until i go into bootloader on the device. Then adb shows "okay" and "writing recovery....." It will show this forever until i unplug the device.

Try adb wait for device after that

not quite sure exactly what you mean by that...just keep waiting while it says waiting for device while in recovery? I waited about 20 minutes..then tried waiting another 30 minutes while it was saying "writing recovery" while in bootloader

So im pretty sure the device is just done for at this point. I decided to just try to flash the device back to stock with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599767.. This also just got stuck on the recovery section. Should i just give up? lol

Unlocked Bootloader for 10.3

Will there eventually be an app for unlocking the bootloader on the 10.3 firmware? I don't have the factory cable and it sounds like a lot of people have bricked their device doing the downgrade to 10.2.

I hope so. I am not gonna even try it... Lol instead rooted it and used Kindlefree app to install Nova and used titanium backup. So it's "like" Android but not quite lol....

It worked for me even with the 10.3.1 bootloader. It seems that the exploit is not closed yet.

I can confirm that the utilities still work fine with the latest version of the kindle software, so you shouldn't even need to downgrade.

But if I downgrade my bootloader I won't have to use the whole 2nd bootloader method and all that right? Won't I then just be able to use some utility to flash TWRP and then flash a ROM? This Kindle thing is probably a little more intimidating than anything else I've messed with. I have mine rooted and a bunch of other hacks but I want pure Android on. I don't want a brick though..

What about all that craziness I have been reading about locking up the bootloader due to the 10.3.1 bootloader? I can just forget about that and install that apk file and THEN I would be able to flash a ROM via TWRP? I thought that the thread said that this tool said it was for the old bootloader. This is great news! Can you confirm this? Are we on the same page?

So, it looks like I have screwed something up. This figures as my luck is terrible with this freegin Kindle. So I got TWRP recovery working fine. I DL Cyanogenmod 10.1 and Gapps accordingly. Went into TWRP of course made a backup, then went to flash. I wiped EVERYTHING and went to flash the ROM. I received the error <Could Not Open .zip> So now I have nothing on file except a bad .zip. I did re-download the ROM assuming it was bad and restored my TWRP backup. Now I am stuck in what appears to be a Kindle Bootloop. The Kindle Fire (Orange) logo comes up, a few seconds later it blinks back off again and recycles. Now what? I can't get the Kindle to boot so I can put the .zip back on the machine. I am STUCK. This sucks... :crying:

I did the exact same thing when i got my kindle back in January. (Yeah, i had to order my cable right after that )
For some reason I've never been able to restore a stock TWRP backup on the kf2. It always borks the bootloader.
I know there is a special requirement that our bootloader uses a file called stack on the system partition- that's why you can't get into recovery now (when you wiped the system it wiped the stack file which let's us run the second bootloader.)
Anyway, Once you have the fastboot cable its really easy to get things going again. Pm me if you need a hand.. I've been through this myself a few times lol.
If you ever end up in the same situation again where you wiped the system and the zip is bad... Stay in twrp and use "adb sideload" to push a good zip from pc.

I actually tried the side load through TWRP. When I typed "adb devices" it showed my device in host mode and the file wouldn't transfer although TWRP was in adb sideload mode. But then I just thought "oh well guess I'll restore my backup" lol. Yeah that didn't work out..

Thanks for the info guys. I'm glad I didn't have to change the firmware. The whole process was super easy and now I'm running jb 4.2. For those reading, just root->install one touch apk->make backup in twrp->factory reset->flash rom and gapps->success!

**As a special note however DO NOT restore your factory backup if you have trouble. You will end up like me. Bootlooping with a fast boot cable in the mail.** if I could go back in time I would've downloaded the files via a hard line rather than slow wifi and maybe even double downloaded.. Oh well. This is a learning opportunity.

[Q] Kindle Fire Stuck At Boot Logo Screen, HELP?!?

Hello my device is stuck in bootloop and wont be reconised by my computer unless it is connected by a factory cable i bought from 'EarlyBird' on Amazon.
The screen turns on as well as the green light, it flickers and then goes black. This just REPEATS. (also the kindle fire logo shows in white/orange).
Plugged my kindle in with factory cable and showed up in Device Manager as KIndle fire like it should.
I have drivers installed so this is why.
How can i make the kindle boot up again and work like normal?!?
Thanks.

I recommend you read everything in that thread. Then read some more.
What I wrote in the original post is pretty self-explanatory. If you don't understand something I said then you haven't read enough.
This is NOT a basic device to work on. I also see you started in the Kindle fire 1 forums. If you flashed anything there you're already screwed.

I'm not sure if I said but my kindle fire isn't recognised when plugged in normal cable AT ALL so doesn't show up in adb devices. However when put in factory cable its recognised by device manager only. Adb devices does not see anything. Why is that ?
P.s remember my kindle is stuck at boot loop

Because adb doesn't work with fastboot, with fastboot you use fastboot commands. Once its in fastboot I suggest using this to restore it to working order: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

Give me a pm if you have issues with my download link. I think there is probably enough info here to help.
The main thing is to have the right versions adb and fast boot available and you should be able to restore ok.

The OP has a problem, and what happens? 2 users get in a territory dispute
And now a Mod has to do clean-up. If you 2 wanna argue, go take it to the playground or something.
And if you can't post something more constructive to the issue, then just don't post.
In the meantime, the OP still has an issue, so hopefully some of the KF folks that want to help will get your issue fixed.

I understand that your need to flash a new .IMG and a new system image. I believe that your download then has those files. I see from the text that I out the text/code into fastboot with kindle connect with fastboot cable. Then should reboot and work. Is that right? Does kindle have to show in adb devices for this to work as its not for me...
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

ADB is for pushing and fastboot is for flashing. No, while in fastboot you won't see ADB recognized. Try typing fast boot devices to see if fastboot is set up right and type fastboot getvar all in the command prompt to see if your device is recognized. Also if you're running Windows 7 X64 or Windows 8 you should disable Windows driver enforcement first.

Kindle fire stuck

Hey guys so I have a rooted kindle fire 1st gen running 6.3.3. I rooted it no problem and got the play store and have just been chilling. Recently I wanted to install a custom rom so I downloaded cm11 and gapps and went to twrp (here comes the mistake). IFirst, I realized that my version of twrp was too low (2.2.1) so I downloaded 2.7 and flashed that. Then I wiped system, data, cache, and delvik cache, and then realized I lost the rom to install. So now I was stuck on twrp with no os and not able to boot. I powered off the kindle so I could connect it to the computer and then adb push a rom onto it. Now when I try to boot the kindle into recovery it shows the blue teamwin logo and then stays at that, occasionally flashing black as if it was trying to load. Any help on how to fix this because now I can't even get into recovery and I can't boot.

If you can get into twrp there is an option to mount usb which makes it show up on the pc as an external drive to easily transfer rom file to. May need a factory reboot usb cable at this point or try to run the rooting utility again if it shows up as add device to reinstall recovery

ok so now I'm experiencing some problems, since when I flashed the gapps I got stuck at the boot animation I went back to recovery and reflashed cm11 but its still not booting, any advice? Its still getting stuck on the cyanogenmod symbol with the circling arrow around it.

It can take up to 10 mins to boot a Rom, any longer than that, probably isn't going to boot.

First gapps broke the Rom, reflashing Rom doesn't always fix

So I followed all of your advice and now I'm smoothly running cm11 with your reccommended gapps. However, I can't reboot my kindle as when I do, it gets stuck on the cm11 boot animation and I have to go back to recovery and reinstall the cm11 and gapps. Any suggestions?

[Q] Rooting Kindle Fire 1st Gen 6.3.4

Hey all!
I'm sorry if there's a post about this somewhere and I missed it but I looked and couldn't find anything.
I recently bought a 1st gen Kindle Fire off a friend of mine and I want to root it so I can have a bit more usability than what it comes with. The problem is that it's running 6.3.4 and I've only been seeing root help and tools for 6.3.2 and lower. I tried using the KFU but the root tool there wasn't able to perform the necessary operations (it just restarts in fastboot and won't continue from there). Does anyone have any tips or advice for how I would still be able to root this device? I've even looked into trying to revert back to 6.3.2 but haven't found anything that allows for that.
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

Okay, so I followed all of the steps to the letter on the first post you listed and its rooted and have Google apps on there now through KFU. The problem is now that I can't install TWRP or FireFireFire. It goes back to not working in fastboot. I'm pretty new to rooting but I want to put some version of android onto this but I can't find any troubleshoot for this particular problem.

When I try to push the fbmode file to the kindle it keeps saying device not found (adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp). Its one of the first steps. I have the drivers installed and the computer is recognizing the device is connected but it's not going any further. I tried reinstalling the drivers but nothing's worked so far.

I did, and then when I was ready to do it myself I put it back on with the intention of following you step by step but I got stopped right here in the beginning. I have the C drive adb folder with all of the files you listed and I verified each download.

I've tried it with two different USB cables in every port on my computer with no luck. I even tried my old Motorola USB cable that I used to root my Droid years ago with no success.

I haven't been able to push any other rom to it but I did use KFU to install Google Play and GoLauncher but beyond that I haven't done anything else to it.
