Installing Android & TWRP problem

Hi,
I have a Kindle Fire and I followed your instruction on hhow to install Android.
I have rooted it and installed TWRP but I can not continue because no laptop can see my Kindle in order to copy on it the Android kit. Hence I have only the TWRP interface and I can not do anything.
How can I continue or how can I reinstall the Kindle Fire OS ?
Do you have any idea ?
Thanks,
Vlad

Hi,
Thanks for the response,but the link doesn't work and I can not download the zip file.
Second, how can I transfer the file, because I can not see my Kindle on windows explorer. Is there a command through cmd ?

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916 not the altrom version and you have to fill in the captcha to get the download at regular speed and I told you how to transfer the file select mount in twrp there should be no checks in system and data.....cache and sd should have checks should be like this by default hit the big button that says mount this will allow you to view your sd card contents simply just copy the rom.zip there and follow the rest of my instructions....

It worked
Now the Wi-fi is not working, I have to install different drivers ?

the wifi should work perfectly unless your router has issues or its some strange adhoc thing try power off then back on a couple of times make sure your wifi password is correct select forget network then re-enter the info for your wireless connection... remember to make a backup next time you enter recovery.. if you still have issues try another rom with the same wipes in the same order.... this 1 is pretty nice if you wanna stick with gingerbread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390773 just remember to flash gingerbread gapps after the rom full instructions in the op.. but include the ones I gave you

[Q] Many questions (CWM, ROMs)

Hi,
I'm new here and I'd like to install a new ROM on my Gio but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before trying something and bricking my phone. :angel:
ClockWorkMod
I installed CWM v5.2.0.6 (followed the instructions here). Is this ok, or do I need to install v5.0.2.7? And if I do need a newer version, is there a way to get an update or do I have to follow the same steps as before?
1.Download the CWM 5.0 v2 and copy to the Root (not in any folder) of your SD card
2. Put your phone in recovery Mode(press: Home button + Power button toghether)
3. In recovery mode, select the downloaded file from SD-card(Use Volume keys to navigate and home button for enter).
4. Search for the root gb updated.zip file on your SD-card
5. Run the update
6. Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried creating a backup with the CWM version I have, but I get this error: "Can't mount /system".
CWM does create a folder in sdcard/ clockworkmod/ backup/ date, but it only contains the following files:
recovery.img and boot.img.
However, this post says I should actually have more files in the backup folder:
.android_secure.vfat.tar ,boot.img , cache.ext4.tar , data.ext4.tar , nandroid.md5 , recovery.img, system.ext4.tar.
Is this because of my CWM version? Or maybe because I still have the operating system that came with my device (+updates)?
What I really want to know is: can I rely on this backup, will it work?
ROMs
I want to install CM10.1.5 from here, but I have many questions and I don't really know where to look for answers. (Sorry, I really am a complete noob.)
What's the difference between androidarmv6 jenkins build and mardon build? And what's the difference between the 3 versions? Can I just install the Version with CM-Superuser and not worry about it?
Should the updates be installed via CWM - apply update from SDcard? What about the additions - CWM --> install zip from SDcard?
How can I install extras if they are "not CWM flashable"?
What happens to my apps when I install a new ROM? Do I have to install them all again? Is all data lost? Or will they all be restored from my google account and the SD card or something like that?
Finally, how can I use the ext2 partition in my SDcard to install apps? Is this function included in the ROM? Or do I need to install something else? a2sd darktremor? If yes, how (I find the instructions here confusing and overwhelming, and the post is old, so probably outdated)? Or should I use the "Link2SD" addition to the ROM?
I'm sorry for asking so much, but I'm feeling kind of lost.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone?
I've continued trying to figure things out when I have time. I'll post what I find in this thread, in case someone else comes here looking for answers to similar doubts/problems.
In trying to understand what's going on with ClockWorkMod Recovery, I found this very useful link:
wwwDOTtechbiiDOTcom / cwm-recovery-cant-mount-system-error-solution-how-to/
(sorry for the DOTs and spaces, can't post outside links yet)
CWM Recovery – Can’t Mount System Error Solution [How To]
(...)
The error is an expected one and happens generally when you are trying to backup a stock ROM using the clock work mod recovery. Please, note that you can’t do a completed nandroid backup of a stock firmwares. So, just install any custom ROM and then you can backup and restore anytime.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I understood correctly, the best (only?) way to return to stock ROM is to install Odin or similar firmware flashing tool and to get the stock firmware from sites like sammobile.com and sampro.pl. However, it also says that not all firmwares might be available and I haven't looked more into it all of this yet.

Did you root your phone yet?
That should solve the problem from the can't mount system, data, etc

Yes, I used the instructions there to root my phone and install CWM (v5.0.2.6), but that thread is 2 years old, so I'm afraid it won't be up to date in relation to certain things. For example, I did create an ext2 partition on my SD card using those instructions, but I found an easier way to move apps from my phone to the SDcard (using the link2SD app, available on Google Play). The information about ROMs is also not up to date.

If you want to install a custom rom just
-wipe data factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-advance>wipe dalvik cache
-install zip from sdcard
-reboot
NOTE: the zip is the rom

Thank you.
My main concern at the moment is how to restore my original ROM if something should go wrong, though. I've found some interesting information in this thread but I've been busy this week and I'll need to go back and read it all with more attention before I try something.

Download ODIN 4.42 and GIO ops and a sotckrom MD5 file then put it into the odin and put your phone into recovery mdoe and plug it into your computer. Then click start

you have to put your phone in downloadmode to flash with odin as far as i know,but i have an other question;
can you use heimdall with the samsung galaxy gio

I am trying to flash a new recovery on my samsung galaxy gio with ODIN after it is bricked flashing tass- 6.0.4.5.zip(this cwm seems for the mini!!!) is this possible and if so,which one can?and how to do that...
thanks in advance

Yes it is possible and you need ODIN 4.42, GiPS and a Stock Rom extracted out of the zip.

Guide & Mod : Telcast G18 mini 3G tablet [CWM Recovery][Stock Firmware][Partition Data]
Hello,
I got myself a nice 7.9 inch Android 4.2.2 Tablet [16Gb].
This is a new tablet so no rom/mod information about it so I decided to put few things together.
I messed up my Modem/Radio trying to make CMW mod recovery but got lucky and found a Chinese forum with a stock rom.
That gave me confidence to mod like hell till I got myself a working CWM Recovery
Youtube Video of tablet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybz6yymWM7I&feature=c4-overview&list=UUUAnm9j-J2x3_nDDDxO2nlQ
Warning! use this guide at your own risk.
Root Guide:
Just download Framaroot apk and run it! It will ask you to reboot and that’s it...You are Rooted!.
CWM Mod Recovery Guide:
Download the G18mini Recovery and flash with MobileUncle.apk
Place the .img in the root of SD then launch the app and click update recovery. Tablet will then reboot into CWM . Do a full nandroid back up!! You will need it in the future or if you want to partition.
Or Flash with SP Flash tool (can find easily on XDA and included in full firmware DL)
Partition /data for more storage Guide:
This tablet only has 1GB for apps which is lame!
Make sure you have Nandroid Backup before doing this and copy the backup to external SD (required)!!! or use Rom manager to backup to external SD!
Install meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit-8gb-16gb-en APK
Run it and click the 4GB and follow the instructions and reboot into recovery.
Wipe/reset then do an Nandroid restore from external SD
It will show failed to restore SDCARD but don’t worry, boot into the tablet and format/erase internal (Flash storage)
Turn off the tablet then hold volume up and power to boot recovery. Do a full nandroid restore again from external SD…DONE!
You will now have 3.9GB for apps and 9.7GB internal storage!
Restore to Factory:
Stock Firmware DL has a PDF in chinese but screenshots should be enough to restore the tablet top factory stock (it uses SP Flash)

messed up but found the original firmware
Hello guys, I'm new at breaking into Android devices, and it seems I messed up when trying to follow this Guide and Mod.
Somehow I didn't do this step:
-----------
CWM Mod Recovery Guide:
Download the G18mini Recovery and flash with MobileUncle.apk
Place the .img in the root of SD then launch the app and click update recovery. Tablet will then reboot into CWM . Do a full nandroid back up!! You will need it in the future or if you want to partition.
Or Flash with SP Flash tool (can find easily on XDA and included in full firmware DL)
-------------
After root i performed the partition. And whiped data. So it seems that all data is erased, I manage to come to the recovery menu. When i afterwards manually copied the G18mini Recovery.img file to the root of my sd-card, and tried to boot find the update, it says no SD card can be found...
one option it gave was to adb sideload data into the tablet. Tried that, but did not know what data i should sideload into it. It seems it need a file.zip.
Somebody asked for the firmware, i found the original firmware from modecom dot eu -> support -> download -> tablets
I tried also to istall that, but did not succeed. It seems the drivers won't load into my windows 8.1 computer.
Any suggestion how to proceed? Can i get the original firmware installed by using Android SDK Manager? I hope I'll be able to save the tablet...

Did you solve it?

Me cannot restore from sdcard either. Does it mean that one should erase sdcard while in recovery mode? I did that, but the externat sd card won't still work.

U sure selecting the wipe to install new ROM will wipe the internal storage ? Asking as it does not wipe the internal on other phones just formats the system wipes del and cache.

I will retry thus afternoon. First I will get a fresh download and then extract the folder as mentioned. I am a Tech Administrator and deal with all sorts of files and have rooted umteen times, so I do not know what I could be doing wrong.

The Backup should be copied to this folder TWRP\BACKUPS\0a952bf7\ on your external or internal SD Card. The 0a952bf7 folder name might vary on yours that is why @muniz_ri encourages us to first attempt creating a backup with TWRP and then TWRP will give you the full backup directory so you just extract the backup zip and paste in there.

No. It does not have extended reboot menu.

I dont get it, I was in TWRP recovery mode while copying the whole folder but it seems I cannot copy it.
So I did was TWRP/BACKUPS/09xxxxx/(another folder 2015 - xx xx) and replace the files there.
Restore successful - Reboot - stuck.

So I did was TWRP/BACKUPS/09xxxxx/(another folder 2015 - xx xx) and replace the files there.
Restore successful - Reboot - stuck.

Revisit the OP instructions. From TWRP recovery perform an "Advanced Wipe" and wipe Dalvik, System, Data, and Cache. In that case you should not be stuck. Mind you, it also takes a while for the very first boot.
