Hi all.
I have seen this in another kind of devices but haven't found thread related about Kindle Fire (1st gen).
A little introduction:
- My kindle was in CM10 and I noticed it started to be detected as Unknown Device in Windows, so
- I used TWRP to flash 6.3.1 stock ROM BUT forgot to wipe before flashing and rebooting. In that moment my situation was an endless loop wih the Kindle being rebooted after 15 seconds aproximately.
- I modified a cable to make it "factory cable" but even in fastboot (plain kindle fire logo) the Unknown Device was there.
- After many tries I managed to make a Reset to factory defaults in Android in the 15 seconds
- Currently the kindle is in stock ROM but still is not correctly detected.
Of course, I have re-installed the drivers in my computer and even tried in a fresh windows installation with no previous drivers without luck. Also, booted an Ubuntu USB with SoupKit and no lsusb changes after plugin the device (just a few dmesg messages about being unable to enumerate USB device on port).
So, if some of you have any idea to try, please tell me. I have the factory cable and the back cover of the kindle removed... ready for anything!
Thank you for your time!

This is the part I mentioned before about dmesg messages:
Code:

From what I've seen, this is usually a problem with the bootloader. How or why, I don't know. That being said, Firekit w/shorting trick seems to be the most successful at resolving this issue.

I'm trying to follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636883 but I don't know how to check if the "short trick" is well performed or not. Is there anything I should notice? At this moment if I make the short trick and plug in the usb connector, nothing seems to be working in the kindle but dmesg is continuously showing errors like previous ones.
Regards,
Are you using Firekit? What command?
"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh"
I'm still in the step of the process when I make the short trick, plug the usb and the kindle should be detected. Should I try the usbboot commands even when there's no kindle entry in lsusb output?
YES absolutely! And hold the power button for 15 seconds to make sure the CPU isn't running before attempting the short.

The command is ./usbboot aboot.bin u-boot.bin; ./fastboot boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img but it keeps stopped in waiting for OMAP44xx device....
I'm going to try a few times more. Thank you!
BTW, what are the next steps? Because this unit is working properly but the USB port to transfer data between computer and device: it boots, it loads stock firmware, and works properly.

Are you using a 32bit or 64bit machine? If you have SoupKit installed, option 2 should have installed 32bit libs, but sometimes it fails...mostly due to Ubuntu servers and them trying to make 32bit libs obsolete. If you're running a 64bit machine, try installing 32bit libs again and see if you get any errors.
Code:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Also since you have SoupKit installed, run it and select option 4 to launch the Firekit. There's really no difference in using Firekit and manually entering the commands for Rekindle but it makes things a little easier. Select "usb_install_fff_twrp". The important thing to know about the "usb_fix_parts..." and "usb_install..." commands in Firekit is that they both use "fastboot boot ..." instead of "fastboot flash ..." to install TWRP and FFF. Meaning, if you reboot or shut the device down before actually installing a bootloader, the device won't turn back on and you'll have to do the shorting trick again.
That being said, from the moment you make the short, you only have about 2 seconds to plug the device in and have Linux detect it before the CPU resets and you have to start all over again.
Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds to make sure the CPU is off before attempting the short.
Launch Firekit and select "usb_install_fff_twrp". When the command is run, you will get the "Waiting for OMAP4 device..." prompt. Let it wait.
To do the shorting trick...
Something I have found to be most useful in this situation is to use a sharp pair of tweezers or safety pin to make the short.
Keep the device flat on a desk or table with the USB connection pointed away from you. Use one hand to hold the short, one hand to plug the device in, and use your body against the other end of the device as leverage as you plug it in.
Using a safety pin, stick the sharp end of the safety pin into the short point and press it in a little to keep it from sliding off when you plug the device in. Squeeze the other end of the safety pin or tweezers to make contact with the metal frame and immediately plug the device in while holding the short.
If the tweezers slip or make contact with the frame before you are ready, hold the power button for 10-15 seconds to make sure the device is completely shut down and try again.
You should see something going on in the terminal to let you know it's working...let it finish.
It might take a few attempts to get the timing right but persistence (and practice) is key...don't give up.
Follow these instructions and I'm positive you'll get it working again. Good luck.
OK, it's a matter of time and try it.
My computer is 64bit, but I am booting a LiveUSB with Ubuntu 12.10 32bits, so no problem around it.
About the short, one friend of mine solded a thin wire in the point in the board and I only have to connect the other side to the wire to the frame each time, so it also seems to be fine. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1045562&d=1336355873
My main concern: once I manage to make properly the short trick and the process goes forward, what will be the next step? What should I expect of this usb_install_fff_twrp command? Will it fix the hardware detection problem automatically?
Thank you again for all your help, I know you answer a lot this kind of questions and your help is very valuable.

When the OMAP4 device is detected, you will see something similar to this in the terminal:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1262650&d=1345043823
That will temporarily install the bootloader, which is likely the cause of Linux not being able to detect it in the first place. When you see the yellow triangle on your Kindle, you'll know the Firekit worked. But you still have to permanently install the bootloader via fastboot (or TWRP if accessible) before you reboot the device.
Will it work to get Linux to detect it? Most likely, but there's no way to know for sure until you get a new bootloader installed.
On second thought...
I just realized you may not even have to do that in the first place. Lucky you? If your device is working properly as you said, boot into Android and open up the Terminal Emulator. Make sure the u-boot.bin is on your sdcard and enter the following:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/u-boot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
reboot
See if that works.
Yes, working with stock ROM but without root access. If there's any way of rooting it without connecting it to the computer I can do it and then use dd to override the block device.

Nope...you need root access to use the 'dd' command.

Hey guys. I tried to flash TeamEOS rom latest nightly on my device,and the flashing process went fine. I was using the TWRP gummified version and it said it was all successfull. This is the link,and on the download pages there is Find7 version.
http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/rom-4-4-4-teameos-the-revival-nightlies.16320/page-25
The problem is,after flashed everything,my phone died. I think i made a mistake when flashed the modem package,which is supposed to be for the find5.. I didn't thought that it could make the difference,but it might have made.
Now my phone won't start,boot or anything. Simply died. Is there anyway i could try to bring him back to life before i send it to the warranty?
I can't reach recovery,fastboot or anything
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank's a lot

Okay. Try to connect your phone to your PC and see if your phone is showed as "QHSUSB BULK" Or qualcomm 9008/9006
Let me know if it shows that.
(go to device manager on pc to check that)
If it doesnt show, try taking the battery out and putting it back and then connecting to pc.

I have no idea. Sorry. Maybe use your friend's pc? OR VM?
Hi there. I too am having issues with my Find 7 as well. I just bought it today. The previous owner apparently went to flash cm11 and he soft bricked it. The phone will power on to the start screen the the screen stays black and goes on and off. I can get to fastboot but not recovery. I have read in the oppo forums that I need to push the stock recovery too it but am unfamiliar with fastboot. I am willing to pay someone to get this phone working. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
MsmDownloader works great from inside an Windows XP VMWare virtual machine.
I've seen reports of the VK815 being rooted and would like to root mine. Is there someone who has a VK815 and has rooted it who is willing to share how they accomplished it?
I have 'adb' available and working, the developer mode enabled, and can talk to the phone. Trying to attain superuser from the 'adb shell' doesn't work because the 'su binary' is missing. 'adb reboot recovery' gives the ''dead android' and the 'power/volume -' key combination results in a normal boot.
Thanks,
Jim
I rooted my vk815 with one click root from the g3 section. Not sure yet how to post links I'm new to xda...

That looks like a solution for those who have Windows PC's connected to their tablets. I'm a linux only and should have put that in my original post.
I guess I could look at the script and see if there's any clues inside it.
Thanks,

There is a python script for using the send command with the files. On my phone and at work, so difficult for me to look up, but I'm sure googling send command LG python will turn it up (probably under g3 or g4 forums...)

I've seen it and given it a try. The writer and everyone else in the thread look like they aren't working with a VK815. The VK815 doesn't trigger loading of the 'serial' module. I don't have one on my system so that looks like a problem. I keep getting this error message:

Seems like the kernel can't figure out what chip is handling the serial I/O for the tablet so it only loads 'usbserial_generic'. That module can't change any of the comm parameters. The error messages now want a more specific module loaded before running the python script.

I doubt there are drivers for linux for a g4 in Linux, and I know people used the script for that. You are doing this in download mode? I can't remember since it's been a while for me setting it up, but does the Android sdk install the generic android USB drivers in Linux?

The kernel modules handle what drivers would do in Windows.
I'm in the download mode and if I boot normally instead of into download; I can talk to the tablet with adb. I'm thinking that maybe if I comment out the serial port settings code, the script might work. I'll try that later.

I just know in the past for fast boot mode on other devices, I had to run the Android sdk tools and add some udev rules. But I can't remember if the sdk tools was simply for executables, or for modules/drivers

When I can talk to the tablet; adb works but fastboot doesn't. 'adb reboot recovery' gives the dead android. This is turning into a real adventure.
There has to be something after 'modprobe usbserial' to load a specific module on the PC so it can talk to the VK815. Would the Windows ddl's give a clue?
Jim
Well, I'll be go to ....
Commenting the block of code that sets the serial port settings worked! I went into the download mode with the key press (power off, volume +, connect the usb cable, wait for Firmware Update screen, release volume +) and ran the script and was talking to the tablet. Looks like the next step is to load the goodies first and then try the manual commands to install root.
Whatcha think gang? I'm thinking we're almost there and how cool is that!!!

Any ideas??? I changed the 'ser' block to
ser = serial.Serial(
port=sys.argv[-1]
)
I'm back to thinking it's a module that needs to be loaded.
Previous post errors were due to 'cdc_acm' being reloaded and me not checking that before running the script. Fixed that and reloaded usbserial. Now the errors are:

So much for talking to the tablet.

I tried usb_modeswitch and got something that may be encouraging. I'll post the command and output so someone who knows a bit about usb_modeswitch can shed some light.

There are other messages that can be sent as part of the command. I'm wondering if this is how we can gain access to the device using linux.

Tried the windows method from an XP machine. Keep getting a "Device cannot start. (Code 10)" error. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the LG drivers along with the VZW drivers. Also tried using only the VZW drivers. Same results. The device manager says the DIAG port is COM16 but Send_Command.exe can't open port 16.
Anyone had success rooting from XP or do I need to try Windows 7?

I tried XP but the device drivers wouldn't install. 7 worked great for me tho. But I'm not real good with Windows possibly some others would know better??
So my tablet today prompted me to update to 11A. But since it's rooted, so it didn't go thru. Does anyone know what we can do with that info? Like to keep root and update?
I gave up on finding a linux solution and did it with WinDoze 8. A root canal has to be less painful. At least it's rooted now.
I'm holding off on the update until after I get a few apps loaded that require root access. I wish there was a way to turn off the updates and nags.
Jim
I think the linux answer to talking to the VK815 involves the BCM2079x on the tablet. Could that mean the linux box trying to load a serial driver would need to do something like 'modprobe bcm2079x'? If so, where to we find the config for it in the kernel .config?
Jim
I know this is an old thread, but maybe someone can send me in the right direction. My non-rooted VK815 updated to 6.0 and ruined the battery life. So, I'd like to root it. I can only find threads on rooting the previous version - has anyone rooted the 6.0 version?
My Fire TV bricked and none of the described un-bricking method works.
When connecting through USB I can see "Marshall London HS-USB Diagnostics 9006 (COM21)" port in Device Manager. I also observed that MiFlash tool recognize it as "\\?\usbstor#disk$ven_qualcomm&prod_mmc_storage&rev_1.00#7&5313ab4&0&1234567890abcdef&0#{53f6307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}"
I have unbricked my Mi Phone using this tool and it requires a ROM containing boot, kernel, system etc. images and other flashing scripts. Do we have similar kind of ROM available for Fire TV?
I am in the same boat.
Did you try this

Looks like I goofed up big time. Now I only see QHUSB_DLOAD and I am not able to see any drive on OSX or Linux. I am suspecting the Mi Flash tool that I was using to check it did something. Instead of showing "\usbstor#disk$ven_qualcomm&prod_mmc_storage&re v_1.00#7&5313ab4&0&1234567890abcdef&0#{53f6307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}" it is now showing COM20.
On linux I tried this command
Code:
dmesg | tail
and it shows following output
usb 1-2: new ISB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-2: Product: QHSUSB_DLOAD
usb 1-2: Manufacturer: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial

usbcore: registered new interface driver qcserial
usbserial: USB Serial support registered for Qualcomm USB modem
qcserial: 1-2:1.0: Qualcomm USB mode converter detected
usb 1-2: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0
Any help in this regard is appreciated.

Ok.. I have a Linux VM (ubuntu 16.x) booted up, and the FireTV is recognized as a /dev/sdb device. I have downloaded the .bin file from amazon. How do I decompress the BIN file to get the images folder to dd over to the firetv partitions?
I am a linux newbie, so missing that key step
NEVERMIND - Figured it out
Thanks Rbox & {ParanoiA} for hte unbricking guide. I successfully recovered my FireTV and am back up and running.
Rbox/{ParanoiA} any way to recover my fire TV from the state it is currently in.
One more observation. Now it is showing the connection as "Marshall London HS-USB Diagnostic 9008"
After googling a bit I zeroed in that it should be recoverable. I a following this link
http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick-all-qualcomm-snapdragons-from-qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-if-you-have-the-right-kind-of-rom-qhsusb_dload/
However I need following files (MPRG8064T.hex and 8064T_msimage.mbn) in addition to what mentioned in this. I am not able to find anything other than MPRG8064.hex and 8064_msimage.mbn anywhere. I am not sure whether I can use these files or not
MPRG8064.hex and 8064_msimage.mbn did not work
Can Anyone provide MPRG8064T.hex and 8064T_msimage.mbn file?
Just uploaded the requested - http://www.mediafire.com/download/jqfx835f5ompvf4/q.7z
the link contains the non T variant of the requested files
In an attempt to get the device from 9008 to 9006 mode, I attempted http://cellphonetrackers.org/qhsusb_dload-fix-qualcomm-soc.html without success
After two months of reading and testing every trick i've read on blogs, youtube, russian or chinese forums, and still at the exact same place. No matter what I do or try, I can't get out of the bloody 9008 state. Did any of you had any breakthrough on the problem? Thanks!
Hi everybody.
I try to install Cyanogenmod on my LG G3 (model D855P bought on Brazil), but the install stopped after some minutes before finish.
I received the LG loop logo. After read some topic's about this error, I try to write a original firmware (.TOT D855AT European). The install runing with any problems. But now, my smartphone is show in LGUP with "Unknow" in the model, but show me the connection port is COM3.
I used the Boarddiag to verify the phone and any error founded. I try to re-write the SDRAM with files extract from LGD855PAT-01-V10a-370-02-JUN-10-2014-16G-32G+3, but not work. I install, but the problem continue the same.
I try the process when you change the COMxx port to COM41 and using a specified .dll, but the process stop in the first steps of validation.
Now, when I turn-on my phone, after some minutes I receive the message: Kernel Crash Handler. If I press Power+Down, the fastboot interface is started, but when I try to access using ADB (in Linux or Windows 10), the device is not listed with command ADB DEVICES. In the Windows 10, my device is recognize in "Manager Devices" with the name "Kedacom USB Device > Android Bootloader Interface".
I try to create the file on .android folder, but not work.
When run the command DMESG in the Linux, my device have this information:
usb 1-5: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci
usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=18d1, idProduct=d00d
usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-5: Product: Android
usb 1-5: Manufacturer: Google
Anyone have some idea to help me about this problem???
