[Q] bootloop on fire hd7 - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have been trying to install whatsapp on my kindle fire hd and followed a guide that said to use the allwinner mod apk.
I did install the allwinner mod, selected samsuns s9000 and tried to install whatsapp
It failed, so i rebooted the kindle.
Now I am stuck at bootloop.
I see the kindlefire boot going but the system never boots.
I tried with kindle first aide to re-flash the original firmware, but failed since it seems unable to connect.
I tried to connect from command line but I cant get the fastboot command to go, tried with the original cable and with another one that I have got and that has always worked.
Im now out of ideas.
Since the kindle is rooted I dont think i can send to amazon, any idea?
Thanks

You need to get a fastboot cable to get your kindle into fastboot mode in order to flash it. They are pretty cheap.

Hello and thanks
I noticed that it responds to adb with a normal cable,
since i know that the allwinner mod changes the build.prop I was wondering if there is a way to restore the original one via abd.
Is there someone that has a build.prop to send me (kindle fire hd 7)
In the meanwhile I put on order the fastboot cable...
Thanks

A lot of build.prop can be found at persano's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116243
But make sure to pick the right one.
Unfortunately I don't know If you can resp. how to put it in the right place to make it work.

Hello
many thanks I managed to get it out of the bootloop.
the procedure is:
download the build.prop and save to the computer /home (i use linux) then open a terminal and connect the usb cable to kindle
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
exit
exit
adb push ./build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
su
cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/build.prop.old
cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
exit
exit
adb reboot
and that's it.

How was adb working during a boot loop? That's bizarre.

Bootloop with cyanogenmod with my kindle fire hd

Well my problem its different that the ones I've looked over the forum.
I get the cyanogenmod installed , and then I wait for almost 45 mins, with the cyanogenmod logo.
Then it suddenly comes with the new android unlock screen for like 1 second and then it begins again with the cyanogenmod.
But to resolve it, I just turn off the kindle go to teamwin boot and then just restore.
Then it becomes like factory settings..
But I can't get the cyanogenmod to work no matter what.
What I'm missing...
Did u check the cm 10.1 zip files md5 checksum before flashing it? You should always do this, you can do it in es file explorer by going to a files properties and calculating the md5. Compare it to the md5 from the post where u got it from, if its different then re-download it..

Try downloading again, make sure file size is the same as the website says and md5 is the numbers in the description, just above the file or below, also try (make backup first) wipe cache, dalvik cache, data,system, flash rom , flash gapps, wipe internal, wipe dalvik, then reboot

Well looks like I erased everything and it says I don't have a OS installed, but now the cyanogenmod zip its not in the sd card of the kindle.
So I have nothing to flash with, and it won't go to the locked screen.
But I'm stuck with the Team Win recovery project menu .
So its there anything I could do to copy the zip from my pc to the kindle so I can flash it, or even restore it so I can connect my kindle to my pc?
Thanks!
Your going to have to plug it into your PC and use adb sideload to put the zip file on it.

Guys so sorry to bother u guys again , idk why I have such a big problem following instructions today...
I have flash my android phones before, I tho this was gonna be just like it...
But I was following this thread and nothing so far..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37594973
if u guys got anything I could use.
Thanks!
Eh well I was hoping for more specifics, but I will tell you what I can, because I haven't ever had to use adb sideload. First go into twrp and hit advanced, them hit adb sideload and swipe to start. If your device manager doesn't have the drivers installed for your kindle when its in twrp for adb, you will need to install them, if you have installed adb drivers before and are running the latest twrp version for kindle(2.6.0.0 I believe), then it should be pretty much plug and play, but if you are running an older version of twrp you will need to force install the adb driver for that device because it didn't have the same vendor ID as the kindle like the new twrp has. Usually I think u just have hit update driver and tell it to let u browse for the driver manually, then uncheck only show compatible device drivers( it says something relatively similar to this) and look for the adb driver, can't remember if its the adb composite device or a different one. If all goes well and u haven't got driver issues, which I hope you don't because I think my tut was a bit lacking for installing drivers, then u should goto a command prompt and CD into the directory u have adb in, it would be in the android SDK, or a utility like kffa, anything that comes with adb will do. Make sure to put the zip u are side loading in the same directory as adb.exe. after that just type adb.exe sideload zipfilename.zip. that should put it on your kindle.

Well I tried that a few times already the adb sideload.
and i just loads, and does nothing, I even waited for an hour, and wouldn't finish :S
So I just think the adb sideload its not gonna do it :S
Just in case u didn't understand whats my problems.
It won't boot up because it has no OS.
So I can't put anything in the sd or backup because I accidently erased everything... even the zip from my sd(cyanogenmod )
I will have to test out adb sideload on my PC to get a better understanding of whats going on, keep in kind I use Linux and not windows, so I don't have driver issues, though I guess you are past any issues that would occur with drivers. Just to validate while I check, but u did put the file u want to side load in the same folder as the adb.exe and you are sure u ran the command correctly? Just thought I'd mention windows doesn't show file extension by default, so make sure u add the .zip to the filename if you didn't already when u type the command.

Thanks for the fast response
So I'm guessing I'd have to put the" cm 10.1 in the same folder as the adb tools(where are 2 .exe fastboot and adb) just to make sure we are talking about the same thing lol.
But I think I did the command wrong.
because I got to the part of the cmd and running the adb, but then I get nothing when I try to push the file to the sd.
Just to make sure can u put the command again
this its the name of the .zip : cm-10.1-20130725-NIGHTLY-otter2
and this its where its located : C:\Users\seekario\Desktop\ADB-Tools
Thanks so much for your time also!

That command should work, just to make sure I'll mention it again, before u run the command, in twrp goto advanced, adb sideload, and swipe the thing to the left, afterwards run this command.

I can only access to the Team Win recovery project menu(TWR v2.6) :S

I doubt anything can be done til you have fastboot cable, I heard people try adding certain lines in cmd but most say it doesn't work, so a sure fire way would be to either make or buy fastboot cable.

[Q]Bricked Kindle fire HD 7"on TWRP

Hi everyone, today i would like to ask for your help with a pretty big problem i have with my Kindle fire HD, you see, i was updating from my current rom 7.4.4 to CM 10.2. to achieve thi i followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909 , everything was going fine until i installed 2nd-Bootloader and TWRP recovery. The problem came up here, when i realized that i forgot to move the rom and the files for google play into the SD card, now whenever i try to do this i can't seem to get my PC to recognize the Kindle with TWRP (i can browse my files and such with TWRP directly through the kindle itself) i tried to move the required file with adb and fastboot but i can't get it to work.
The kindle is rooted and running version 7.4.6 from amazon.
i have a backup for the rom and the files but i can't use fastboot.
i have a backup for each of the following files: boot0block, stock-boot, stock-recovery, stock-system
all the adb drivers and sdk are functioning perfectly.
When i connect it to my PC with windows 7 i can see the kindle recognized by the device manager but it has yellow triangle next to the icon.
i also tried using an otg cable but the kindke did not recognize it.
any and all help is appreciated, i don't want my tablet to die Dx
I've never had to do this, but in TWRP, if you go to "Advanced," there's a button labeled "ADB Sideload." Then you should be able to use ADB to sideload files onto your Kindle using the "adb sideload" command.
Example:
Code:
adb sideload name of.zip
Hope this helped

Ok if u want to simply type file.zip u need to be CD's into the directory of where u put the ROM, but as it seems u have the SDK in your paths simply putting the ROM in c:\users\cristian should suffice. Try moving the ROM there and running the command again.

My apologies for hijacking this thread. I had made the same error as the OP. however, instead of searching here for solution, I panicked and wiped the cache and user data using the SR tool and wiped everything. Now unfortunately my kfhd tells me it can't boot, which my incompetent mind tells me is likely because I have no rom?
I've tried to use first aide to do a system recovery but I get told the files are too large and it can't do anything.... Any suggestions or thoughts from people? Appreciate any help I can get. Been up late the last 3 days trying to sort this out, while I thought I was going to provide m wife with a slick android device!!
That's odd, I wouldn't think wipe your data partition and cache would cause that to happen, then again there are some files stored under data the system uses out side of apk's so I guess that could be why. Did you get your kindle into fastboot? If you did I would suggest trying to use kfhd system restore tool if kffa didn't work.

Yes, can fast boot. Shows up when I plug in the factory cable. When I use the system restore tool, and try and do a basic recovery, it can't copy the images over as it says the files are too big.

You should be able to load the original images over fastboot, something just isn't working right. I would say its far from hard bricked, it should still be fixable, its just a matter of troubleshooting it. If you have the kindle fire system image I would try manually flashing it but you need to know what you are doing. If you CD into the SRT folder where im assuming the IMG files are in the same folder as fastboot, try running "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img" think I got the syntax right, haven't had to ever use fastboot myself, anyways if you run that what does it report back? Hopefully not the same error, or it might be something messed up with the image.

thanks for the advice. ended up re downloading the images again and this time it worked. go figure.
back to starting again to get my custom rom on.
once i have a custom rom, guessing there are no amazon bits left in there that would cause any updates to come through right?
Thank god there isn't, I would scream if there was, just make sure to wipe system, cache, dalvik cache and do a factory reset when coming from amazon to cm based ROMs.

Good afternoon: I bricked a nice 8.9 tablet several weeks ago using ADB sideload...
I used ADB Sideload to install Gapps since I was already in TWRP and was too lazy to reboot and transfer the gapps.zip file to my tablet.
The sideload installed the gapps.zip as I expected it to and I was brought back to the main TWRP screen.
When I clicked on reboot/reboot system, the tablet started flashing the three partitions (boot, recovery and system) as I was watching. TWRP then left me at the booting screen doing nothing. I did not know why the tablet decided to flash the three main partitions but, I opted to push the power button and that was the last time I saw my tablet.....
Apparently ADB sideload is only for ROM's? I had only used it to flash ROMs prior but, I thought ADB Sideload should be able to install any properly zipped file designed to flash with TWRP?

[Q] Kindle Fire HD 7" Stuck on TWRP (2.4.4.0) - Won't Mount - BTC for quick help!
Yes I am a n00b here.
I have done many jailbreakings with no problem.
I have been using my Kindle Fire HD 7" since Feb. and reading the XDA forums and finally decided to root.
I used the newest bin4ry with no problems - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351201
I then loaded TWRP and Kindle Fire Flash using this most recent method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347170
Again with no problems.
I then was going to load CyanogenMod 10.1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245335
But my Kindle Fire is stuck on the TWRP screen and my PC is not showing my Kindle to drop the .zip files.
When using ADB command prompt I typed "ADB devices" and it says "List of Devices Attached - 123456789ABCDEF recovery"
So that's where I am at.
I have searched the forum many times with no luck.
Please help me load CyanogenMod or get it back to stock.
I don't care about losing apps or anything because they were all free ones.
I got a bit of BTC for anyone that can help with a quick solution.

Hey Mr. Derrick!
Hopefully we can get you setup using the same solution that worked for me.
ABD can be kinda confusing, especially if you are new to rooting.
(I can't post links yet so change my xx to tt)
If you want to try re-downloading it you can get it here: hxxp://developer.android.com/sdk
Are you trying to install the Cyanogen Mod 10.1 on there as well?
You will need that also in order to get it up and running.
You can download that here: hxxp://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/cm10.1/cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip
It helps to put all this stuff in the same folder, I just made a folder called "Kindle Stuff"
Now, go into your Kindle Stuff folder and go to adt-bundle-windows > sdk > platform-tools
Copy and paste your "cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip" folder in there.
Then in a blank space in the folder hold down "Shift" and "right click"
On the list choose
"Open command window from here"
In the command window copy and paste this: adb push cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip/sdcard/cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip
That (should) load Cyanogenmod onto your Kindle.
Once it finishes transferring, you can click "Install" on the TWRP homescreen.
It (should) automatically load it right away, if not just scroll to the "cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip" file and open it up.
I really hope that works for you, because that's what did it for me!
I'm having the same issue with being stuck on the twrp screen, but I can't get an adp connection. Im also attempting to load cm 10.1 onto my kindle fire hd 7. In case it matters my pc also says there's no drivers for the kindle (I installed the proper drivers and adp and sdk software prior to rooting and flashing twrp and they worked fine, the problem only started after installing twrp)
Try the drivers in my signature. Its probably my just an old twrp build before has code updated the vid and pid in it.

how would i install those drivers so that the kindle would use them...when i originally installed the drivers for the adp connection, it was done automatically

Yes, you need a fastboot cord now to flash the original firmware. You can get one on Ebay or buy a tip here http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm or make your own with instructions located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207122
Use this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Now you want to do is make sure to download SDK so you can use ADB and fastboot commands. Here is a video tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw
Should the drivers be a little outdated, Stunts has some good ones here that have helped many http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477379
Good Luck
Actually if you don't mind putting some time in you could fix without reflashing it, you need to mount /system as read/write and push systemui.apk to the sdcard, the cp it to /system/app, then chmod its permissions and it would fix the problem.
^^ his method is way easier though.

can you put the lists of comands pls...i cant get a factory cablle...
how do i mount system as a read/write?
how do i copy it from sdcard to system/app
and how do i chmod it.
As long as you already had adb enabled you don't need a fastboot cable, just run
Code:
su -c "reboot bootloader"
and it should go into fastboot where you can reflash it.

[Q] My Kindle Fire HD doesn't start

Hello all !
First, i'm so sorry for my bad english ...
I just buy a Kindle fire HD 7", with 7.4.6 firmware.
I make root, and i try to install Cyanogenmod, but now, my kindle doesn't start.
When i push the "On" buton, i see the logo "Kindle Fire" in orange, after i see the blue, but the tablet doesn't arrive to the desktop.
I can acces when i push the volume buton to my TWRP menu, but my save doesn't work.
My windows 7 doesn't see the tablet, i don't know how save my kindle
I see on internet some peopple who speak about "fast boot cable". It's a solution to unbrick ?
I hope you can understand me, sorry for my little english.
Best regards
Martin
If you have access to twrp then you don't need fastboot to fix it. As long as you install the adb drivers in my signature for your kindle while it's in twrp, you can push a new ROM to it over adb and flash it and it should boot up must fine.I wrote a tutorial on how to do it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498

Hello Stunts513, thanks a lot !
I try to make what you say.
1. I install the ADB drivers when the kindle is in twrp, i think it's ok :
2. i can try to push a new rom to the tablet, but i doesn't see the kindle on my computer :
I don't understand why i can't see my kindle in my computer.
In TWRP, i must activate some option to connect the kindle to the computer?
best regards
Martin
Because that feature is broken in twrp is why it doesn't show up as a MTP device. You need to download the adb command from that link I posted and run the adb push command to send then file to the device, its another method of transferring then file by using a command prompt instead of the usual windows explorer.

Ok, i will try.
I take the ROM and GAPP here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2543455
It's ok?
Yes that's the one, just push both of the files after you download them.

Thanks Stunts
I try. When i tape the commande line, windows ask me : adbwinapi.dll not found.
You need to extract the dll's that were in the zip file to the same directory as the adb command, then it should work.

Ok
And in TWRP, i must activate some options? Like "Mount" or other?
Nope, the stuff is setup fine as is. Just remember to do a factory reset(under the wipe button) before flashing the ROM. I personally would wipe the system partition as well but that's just me.

I put ADB folder in c:/windows/system32/adb
In this folder i have :
- adb
-adbwinapi.dll
-adbwindusbapi.dll
-ROM CM11
-Gapps
Windows ask me adbwinapi.dll not found
Why'd you drop them into your system32 folder? Just make a folder on your desktop, drop the adb files and ROM into there, and CD into that directory from the command prompt and run the command, if it still does that then I'm guessing something like the command prompt wasn't being ran as admin or something.

Ok, on the folder in the desktop, i press shift, and run the command.
I type this into the command prompt: adb push rom-or-gapps-name-goes-here.zip /sdcard/
And it's ok, i think its on the kindle, but i dont find where is the rom and gapp
I found noting in SDcard folder in TWRP .
If it succeeded then in twrp hit wipe and do an factory reset, then hit install and it should let you navigate then internal memory, by default I think it starts out on /sdcard which happens to be where the ROM should have been pushed. So it should be there, if not then what did the command prompt say after you ran the push command?

Edit2: ah wonderful I double posted... This is why I hate switching between two apps when one starts messing up and the other one I'm not used to and hit the wrong button...

No pb, go to sleep Stunts, thanks a lot for your help
You must have a typo somewhere because it displayed the list of alp commands due to am syntax error. What exactly did you type into the command prompt? BTW for future reference if you right click in the command prompt and hit mark it let's you highlight the text so you can copy by pressing enter then paste it, though I'm kinda glad you didn't do that because without code brackets it would a been a mess. Yea I'll goto sleep now thanks.
