[Q] Failed ROM Flash - Kindle can't connect via usb

I apologize ahead but I have not been able to find a thread that addresses my problem.
Kindle Fire (1st gen)
Rooted with KFU, installed FFF, TWRP, Go Launcher and Gaaps. Worked perfectly.
Attempted to flash hashcode's JB ROM with Goo manager and made a mistake.
Attempted to boot to system and all that will show is the Rolling Triangles splash screen
continuously.
I can boot to TWRP.. I want to start over and flash the Amazon update 6.3.1 but my
Windows 7 PC cannot connect to the Kindle over usb. Fastboot seems to connect
(returns "Kindle" on fastboot getvar product) ADB does not show any devices attached.
I have deleted and reinstalled drivers - Windows does not recognize the Kindle.
Will a factory cable allow my PC to recognize my stuck Kindle?

Which version of twrp are you using?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app

A factory cable will only put your device in fastboot. If you plug the kindle in while in recovery it should install the correct drivers. Try connecting to your computer and selecting mount and hit the big button to access your sdcard contents, where you can transfer a new rom zip to it. I wouldn`t attempt to flash stock unless you research prior many brick their devices and then a factory cable is needed. Did you wipe before flashing? If so how and what?

Also, do you have FireFireFire installed?

Thank you for your replies!
I have FFF installed
TWRP is 2.3
I did do a cache wipe and factory reset within TWRP
I did see this morning manofFishfry posting "[Q] I need help bad"
and it seems he was having a nearly identical problem with USB
connection.
I will attempt thepooch's recommendation:

I will post any progress I make.
Many thanks

TWRP 2.3 is your issue if you do get ubuntu setup with Soupkit simply replace 2.3 with 2.2.2.1 and rewipe and reflash another rom.

Looks like I'm still stuck then - I've only got Win7 on my PC - unbuntu is WAY out of my league.
I'll try Zombiepiratez unbrick utility

It`s not that far out of your league. Use universal usb creator to make a live usb with persistent run soupkit on it reboot the usb Your in like flin If you want help I can help you at some point to get this done.

I removed the Kindle drivers from my Laptop PC and then connected my son's unrooted stock KF1. It was recognized, the drivers loaded, and I loaded the KFU drivers and updated them no problem. I ran KFU and got 4000 on the code.
I then plugged in my "stuck in TWRP/FFF/JB Splash Screen" rooted KF1 and the PC sees it as a removable memory device. It prompts me to load it with media when I double click on it. KFU can't find it. ADB can't find it. Fastboot can get "Kindle" from getvar product, but nothing else.
What can I do next?
Thanks!

One new thing: I mounted the SD card using TWRP, then my Win 7 Laptop could connect to my Kindle via usb as an external drive. Win 7
then siad the drive needed reformatting. KFU still would not connect.

would the soupkit help in this situation? I had the same problem but figured out the whole mounting from TWRP and it worked for me

Your sdcard issue and ADB issue are two completely unrelated things. The ADB issue is due to the way Windows handles drivers. Fix the driver problem or use SoupKit/Linux.
The sdcard issue is due to your sdcard losing its formatting somehow. You'll have to reformat (quick format, block size 4096) in order to use it again. You will lose all data on the sdcard BTW.
"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh"

Huzzah! Success in spite of myself!
Many thanks to each of the experts that each gave me nuggets of info that eventually
unbricked my KF1.
I last posted that Win 7 would see my Kindle when I used TWRP to mount the SD card.
It prompted for me to "format the device" and feeling I had nothing to lose - selected
default settings and quick format.
This then opened a File Manager window giving me access to the SDcard folder on the KF1.
I had downloaded the Stock update from Amazon update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin
On another thread - Soupmagnet had said to rename this BIN file to a ZIP - which I did.
I shortened the file name to update-kindle-6.3.1.zip.
I de-mounted the SDcard folder in TWRP.
I wiped the Dalvic and did a factory reset.
I navigated to the Install screen and it found the update file and installed it.
UNBRICKED!
Thanks again for the tireless help you guys give.

Bricked my OP3 help

Greetings every one ..
I have a half dead Oneplus 3 Unlocked + Rooted
here is my problem
there is no OS in it and i flash TWRP many times via ADB and wont boot to it
and i tried to flash the stock recovery V2.0 and done successfully
the sideload mode Recognize my OP3 but when i try to flash the Oxygen Rom it Gives me cannot read
also i tried the Unbrick Tool when the device is connect it showing me Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008
but when i power up the tool as administrator it showing me (no device)
see here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIbagVAXJJk
Thanks .

on the unbrick guide try method 2 but completley power off the device and count to 10 when holding the vol up button THEN plug the device in. i had that issue also. if you get errors or for some reason it dosnt show up again try on a diffrent pc it will work

Try method 2. BTW "cannot read" error has to do with faulty ADB drivers, get the platform ones

I did instal the right ADB drivers in fact
still no luck

The ones from platform tools? Since that "cannot read" error has nothing to do with your device. Have you tried renaming it? Rebooting your PC? Last one did wonders for me for some stupid reason.

Hi,
I also had this message of "can not read" in sideload mode, this problem often happens with Windows 10, so I used Windows 7 on another pc and it was OK.

I tried Windows 10 & 8.1 & 7 & XP
still The same problem

What if you flash Twrp and boot into it? Then u can adb push the filemm

I tried via fastboot and its done right
but when i reboot into the new TWRP recovery its stuck in the boot oneplus as same like the Video shown up

book an appointment with oneplus live chat so a service tec can fix it and if they ask if it was rooted say no

Hi,
If you access TWRP, install the Official Oneplus Recovery 4.0.2
In TWRP click "intaller" then choose "install image" and select the file you will have to copy to the phone in recovery mode.
Then restart in recovery mode, choose english, then "adb sideload mode"
From there you should be able to flash your phone with an official Nougat zip.
Do the under windows 7.
It is necessary to install the Oneplus USB drivers and ADB tool on your PC before any manipulation.

Finally I solved the problem
like i said B4 my phone wont boot into TWRP by any chance
i traid all the Officials TWRP one and they stuck on the boot image or power the phone off
i flashed a modified twrp (blu_spark 3.0.3-x) thanks for this beautiful smart man eng.stk if im not wrong
and thank you all for the help

i had similar issue...with several phones.. download Malwarebytes trial version and run it...i had a few stealth root tool kit viruses.causing my system to have a hiccup....

Need help with adb sideload in stock recovery

I'm trying to update from 8.0 to 8.1 using the ota file posted on the Google images site using stock recovery and adb sideload and I can't get it to work. The phone is totally stock, locked, no root etc. I'm using an Ubuntu based distro on my laptop. I have the adb and fastboot working showing the serial numbers when testing adb devices / fastboot devices. I added the path to platform tools and tools in my bashrc. I have 51 android rules. My phone is being recognised by all accounts. How ever when ever I adb sideload update.zip nothing actually happens at all on my pc. The phone screen sits there saying verifying update package or something but nothing actually flashes or happens. I have tried usb 2.0 & usb 3.0 ports, different usb a - c cables. I even got fresh downloads of the ota package. I went a step further and reinstalled the android SDK. By all means it should work as the phone is recognised in all modes including sideload but nothing happens when the phone should be side loading the ota file. Please help! Thanks in advance

Are you in recovery mode and USB Debugging is turned on?

Usb debugging is turned on in the main phone settings. The phone was in recovery and apply update from adb mode

I'm not enrolled into beta etc. Phone is 100% stock

To update I bought yet another usb cable and this one worked and I was able to complete the update. It was a usb 3.0 A - C 1 meter cable and I used a usb 3.0 port on my laptop.

PC No Longer Detects Phone After Rescuing with Stock OTA File

My problem started when I attempted to bypass the FRP by flashing a custom TOT file. I neglected to notice the file was specified for a 32GB version. I flashed it on a 16GB version using LGUpgrade Tool. The phone then froze at the splash page that just says "Google" . I thought I was fortunate enough to be able boot to recovery mode and so I flashed the stock firmware through ADB - the same ROM version that was previously on my phone and from a copy which I had used in the past with no problems. Everything seemed to be working again except my PC doesn't detect the USB connection anymore. I've tried the same procedure but now the command 'adb devices' doesn't list the phone. However, there is a point when I boot to recovery mode the PC makes a sound as if it detects the phone but then moments later it makes the other sound as if it gets disconnected. As I stated earlier, my phone seems to be where I was stuck at FRP with Android version 7.1.2 but my problem now is I can't get the PC to detect the phone when it's plugged into its USB connection. Nothing shows in Windows Explorer as well as Device Manager? I tried re-installing the drivers. Stopping and restarting the ADB server... still no detection. Is there a way to set USB mode to MTC while in FRP mode? Should it matter in Recovery Mode?
I'm going to wait for a response before I attempt to flash again but this time through the SD card because this will be a first time for me using that method and I hope there's a less risky solution.

download the frimware on your pc
format your pen drive in fat32
and then extract the files from downloaded RAR and copy it in the pen drive eject the pen drive and insert it into the tv and then boot the tv.
it might work.

You cannot reboot into recovery mode directly.
I tried recovery.img from a different model of 42" FHDTV firmware img.
I copied only the img file into the USB drive and attached it to TV USB slot 1.
Switch on the TV plug while holding the Power button on back panel.
But it did not solved the problem of OP's boot logo issue.
