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

Thanks you anyway!
Try updating the device driver for the device with mark next to it, use these drivers from this post, they should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44446906&postcount=9

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.

I did. Not sure i do now post trying to do a wipe. Don't see any blue when I start up, just the original kindle letter coloring, after which I get a message saying it can't boot
any suggestions anyone or is my kfhd pretty much killed? there's got to be a way to load some rom on to it!!
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?

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..

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!

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] 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.

You shouldn't nessasrily need fastboot to fix this, I'm assuming the drivers you don't have installed for twrp is the adb device, so try updating Ur drivers with this version of the drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=44446906
Once the adb driver work you should be able to go I to twrp, hit advanced, then hit side load, and swipe to start side load, and with it plugged I to your PC put either a cm ROM or the stock rooted amazon ROM from android development into the same folder as your adb command, and run a line with this syntax in a command prompt: adb sideload myrom.zip
If that doesn't work you might be able to use adb push when not in side load mode but I haven't tinkered to much with twrp. If you must resort to using fastboot you shouldn't even need a factory cable in this case, as u can just go into twrp and hit reboot and tap bootloader, that should put you in fastboot. Hope this helps.

There I don't understand the part with sideloading a rooted stock or custom rom.
I hope that you can help me and thet you understand my question
EDIT: I have a factory cable mybe it's good to know for you.
Basically you put the file you want to flash in the same folder as adb unless your have adb in your system paths, and type "adb sideload filetoflash.zip". You still have to go into twrp before this and hit advanced, then hit sideload, then swipe the thing. Sorry if this seems repetitive, I'm not sure how to make it much simpler. If you can't figure out the side load just do what I would do, boot your kindle into twrp, and plug into your PC. Now with the file you want to flash to the kindle in the same folder as adb run "adb push filename.zip /sdcard/filename.zip". That should put the file onto the kindles sdcard, from there you can use the install button in twrp and choose the file.

Basically you put the file you want to flash in the same folder as adb unless your have adb in your system paths, and type "adb sideload filetoflash.zip". You still have to go into twrp before this and hit advanced, then hit sideload, then swipe the thing. Sorry if this seems repetitive, I'm not sure how to make it much simpler. If you can't figure out the side load just do what I would do, boot your kindle into twrp, and plug into your PC. Now with the file you want to flash to the kindle in the same folder as adb run "adb push filename.zip /sdcard/filename.zip". That should put the file onto the kindles sdcard, from there you can use the install button in twrp and choose the file.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2388341 for this, I have the md5 file but I think it must be in the rom.zip
Edit: Thanks stunts513, I tried it with CM10.1 Tablet UI, succses.
Hello all.
Was tinkering around with my KF- And accidentally wiped everything from my internal storage and system. When it boots up I get the blue KF logo and it stays stuck there- Can't boot into recovery.
ADB doesnt recognize it.
Have a fastboot cable.
How do I atleast push files to it /boot into recovery??
Many thanks.
To boot into recovery, after you power on the kindle, immediately let go of power and instead hold volume down usually only until you see the blue kindle logo. You can hold it longer if it makes ya feel better, it should then show the twrp logo and from there you can use adb to push the ROM of your choosing onto the device, here's a tutorial for that assuming you get into recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498
I think I know how to get it into recovery from fastboot as well but if that doesn't work you'd just have to reflash Amazon's os with kindle fire first aid.

I tried all of this- Yes, I got it into recovery, It was recognized once by ADB and when I attempted to push the files from a flash drive it stopped working. Did the flash drive effect it or? It's also not showing up in device manager at all anymore after updating the drivers to ADB.

You cannot use a flash drive with the Kindle Fire HD as it's unsupported. You have to push it via command prompts on your computer. Follow the tutorial posted. try adb sidelad rather than adb push as the command.

I don't believe I made myself clear. I attempted to push a file from a flash drive connected from my computer and after it was attempted ADB couldn't find my device. Unless I am misunderstanding you, this is what I did. I have attempted cmd prompts and none are moving to my avail.
My apologizes if I am misunderstanding you, sir.

Ah gotcha, I was thinking you were trying to use OTG with a flashdrive. So, I wonder if the problem was that you were trying to flash from a flashdrive or maybe you are missing the adb.exe file. The folder you put the ADB drivers in should have a file marked adb.exe as well. This is what will execute the pushing of the files. Make sure you point the drivers after it is in the folder you will CD from. If you don't have this then download the sdk package and in one of the tool folders you will have adb.exe. Just throw your drivers and ROM in that folder and that will be the folder you CD from.
So try this:
a. Make sure the ROM, ADB drivers and adb.exe are in the same folder.
b. Now go into device driver and manually (choose from your files) update the adb drivers and install them.
c. Once the adb is again recognised go into the folder with all the files and find a white area and hold shift and right click on the mouse and choose open a command window here.
d. Now enter the commands adb sideload name-of-rom-or-file-here-make-sure-to-add (.zip) - at - the-end /sdcard/
e. Give a minute for the process to show in the command window. You should start seeing some percentages as the file is pushed.

I attempted your method shown here and I get stuck at ADB drivers. There is no Kindle Fire device in my device manager and no bubble shows up when my kindle is attached to my pc. Could the cord be the issue? (I'm also running Windows XP, if that makes a difference.)
Also, I have drivers installed, but I'm unsure they're the correct ones. Where can I find them?

You won't have a pop up when your tablet is plug in at this point. In your device manage do you see a yellow triangle? There should be some android device in your device manager of some sort the pops up when plugged in. To test abd being recognized type adb devices in the command window and you should see your device show in the command window within 30 seconds.

After another day of messing with it, yes, finally, it's recognized in ADB. I can push anything but the .zip files for Gapps and Roms. When I try to, it just gives me a list of all the commands you can use with ADB. I've tried ADB sideload and push. Neither work.

Check the md5sum for corruption. Make sure to have those zips in the same folder you're CDing from.

Okay, so now no file is pushing/sideloading to my Kindle. I have them in the same folder I'm CDing from and it's still just running through what commands ADB can do. I'm unsure why it's doing this? It pushed once and now it won't anymore (similar to how it detected my kindle before then didnt).

i dont os on my kindle fire hd 7
I am having a mare with my kindle fire hd 7
It all starrted when anything google related kept crashing.
I tried to find solutions to the problem but no joy.
I then tried to install a different update to cyanogenmod nightly software but i then had a major problem with not being able to turn on my wifi.
I went into Twrp and tried to restore to my previous software but when my kindle re-booted i got stuck with a flashing teamwin logo
After trawling for days i managed to get out of that but im now in a situation where i dont have any OS on my kindle.
I have followed instructions on how to push files onto my kindle but despiote finding some files on my sdcard i am unable to reboot past the blue and white Kindlefire logo.
I have tried using the kindle un-brick java option but no joy either
I would really appreciate some help solving this proble as it is really driving me crazy.
I can still access twrp and i can access bootloader to get the orange and white fastboot logo.
If someone can help guide me through how i can get my kindle working again id really appreciate it
cheers
JJ

I was following a guide to root my kindle fire hd and install CM11 on it. I somehow managed to transfer extracted versions of gapps and CM11 rather than the .zip versions, and didn't realize this until after I had wiped my device. I have tried using adb sideload to get them onto it, but adb doesn't recognize the device anymore. I do have a backup of the device (boot0block.img, stock-boot.img, stock-recovery.img, and stock-system.img), so if there is some way for me to restore using those I could just do that and try again. What, if anything, can I do?

Yes.
I appear to have solved the issue I was having. I installed PdaNet and followed the prompts in installation, which found the drivers for my kindle fire 7" and installed them successfully. From there, all I had to do was sideload the ROM using cmd (the command is adb sideload [file path of the ROM, including the .zip at the end]). I can't post links because I'm new here, but a simple google search of "adb device not found" had the solution as the first result.
