Can fastboot be used to fully restore stock everything? Bootloader, Recovery, FireOS.
I tried to use Kingroot on my Kindle Fire HD 7" 3rd gen (Soho) and it softbricked it. I can't get past the white n orange "Kindle fire" logo screen.
I've tried the directions for putting twrp on and such but I still can't get past the logo. I followed the directions for restore on the TWRP Page but once I get to the last part right after the sideloading of the update.bin file I cant get past the logo screen.
adb sideload update.bin
adb reboot
THIS IS WHERE I CANT GET PAST. It stalls at the logo screen.
adb wait-for-device
adb shell su -c 'mount -o remount,rw /system && rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh && mount -o remount,ro /system'
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/omaphsmmc.1/by-name/recovery"
adb push exploit.img /sdcard/exploit.img
adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/exploit.img of=/dev/block/platform/omaphsmmc.1/by-name/exploit"
adb shell rm /sdcard/recovery.img /sdcard/exploit.img
@spudowiar I know this device is really old and its likely youve forgotten how to do some things but I really need help with this. The directions on the TWRP page arent working, or well, they work but its not working. I have tried to sideload the latest amazon update file as update.bin, update.bin.zip, and update.zip. None of them work or it seems. After the sideload of the update and SuperSU I reboot the device and then it goes to the faint white kindle logo then the kindle fire logo in white and orange with the glimmer scrolling across the screen. Thats where it stops. I have left it on this screen for 2 hours or so and no change. I am at a loss of what to do to restore this device to working condition now.

Hey guys,
I rooted my Nexus one but I have a small problem getting into the recovery image.
In the modaco instructions you have this red text
Check if there's no /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script if you keep booting back in the stock recovery (exclamation mark with a little Android).
This is exactly what is happening to me and all I would like to know is....
How can I make this exclamation android disapear?
The file /system/etc/install-recovery.sh is there... but can I delete it or modify it somehow?
Why not use fastboot and flash the recovery?
I actually tried to do that but I have the same problem when trying to boot up in recovery.
Actually finally managed to get into the recovery image just now after using fastboot to flash the image once again.
However after rebooting the phone I still have the same problem. So basicly, this works if I just flash it, power off phone and run the custom recovery image. After that I get the little android with the exclamation mark.
Just to show what I do when flashing the reccovery image.
Superboot aquired
Code:
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
I get success on this and my root access seems to work. (I am only running Market enabler to make it work)
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img to a location where fastboot can find it. ( Put this in my home folder under superboot\recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your [B]MAC[/B]
./fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
./fastboot flash ./recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img
So, I continue... Any idea why I am still getting the little Android? I have
also

same problem with me i can not do it!
Well look no further becouse I have found the solution to our problems.
Superboot again and start with
Code:
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
Then you type
Code:
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Now follow instructions to install the Recovery image
After this you will hopefully not have any problems
help
sorry to bring this back... but, i need some help here...
when i enter $ su... i get "permission denied"
You need to have root access, google it or look in the development section for guides.
Cannot remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Nexus One FRF91, unlocked and rooted.
SDK and USB driver installed, Windows XP.
Using ConnectBot I can see /system/etc/install-recovery.sh is present
I recovery boot into RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1
fastboot and adb both see the device.
adb remount returns remount failed: Invalid argument
If I go into adbshell and try mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system I get failed: Invalid argument
Have I missed something?
Any help would be most appreciated!
I can work around it with adb shell, still puzzling why adb remount will not work though...
Rooted my kindle fire HD a few days ago using the QemuRoot method. Was working fine, and installed Google Play, etc. Everything was working well until this morning, when I get a blank screen upon startup. The words "kindle Fire" will be displayed and then it goes blank. I am suspecting that it was the apks I installed last night - It is probably the LCD Density Modifier, the Home Manager or the Go Launcher. At a loss what to do now - the reset using the power button doesn't work. Appreciate any help here.
Thanks!

Does your device show up in adb? If it does you can remove those apps(especially the first two) using adb:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
rm -r /system/app/[AppName].apk
mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/stl5 /system
If you need to look up the name of the apk:
cd /system/app
ls *.apk
http://www.careace.net/2010/05/12/ho...s-through-adb/
Which file ?
Thanks for your input. yes, the device show up in ADB. trouble is the list of apks does not right a bell. My fear is the LCD density app changed the display format - and that's why it is a blank now. Is there any way to reset it to factory defaults using ADB??
Trying to output a list of the apps if I use ls *.apk - how I copy the list out of command shell (windows)? Sorry, last time I touched unix seriously was back in 92.......:silly:

I used Qemu local.prop method to set /system/fonts folder as 766 and bricked my KFHD with the following steps:
adb shell
rm -r /data/local/tmp
ln -s /data/ /data/local/tmp
exit
adb reboot
adb shell
echo ‘ro.kernel.qemu=1′ > /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push myfont.ttf /system/fonts
adb shell
cd /system/fonts
mv DroidSans.ttf DroidSans.ttf.bak
ln -s myfont.ttf DroidSans.ttf
chmod -R 06766 /system/fonts
rm /data/local.prop
exit
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now my KFHD does gets stucked in
"Your Kindle doesn't seem to be able to boot"
Is that because I changed the permission? Or is it because I did not reboot first after changing permission, and than delete local.prop? Which step was wrong? I am worried that doing that again would cause the same problem. I assume that the only way to recover from this would be to get into fastboot mode with factory cable. But I still want to keep fonts folder as writable.
When you edit files like this, with a device like a KFHD, odds are they deal with the framework-res.apk And if you mess with files that deal with framework-res.apk, your bound to get boot loop. But anyways, can you get adb? If not, fast boot might be your best friend. Cables are available that can boot to it, and if you see the system img. Files in the android development section, you can use fasboot to flash those. It's not the easiest solution, but it is something.
Sent from my Fire HD with root!
Once i fgured out that i could not use adb shell su -c but had to drop su -c from the commands the entire update proccess took no more than 20 minutes (i did not back up my old rom etc with back up prob take 40 minutes to a hour)
Any ways here it is again thanks to seokhun for his original guide i only modded the adb shell commands in this one.
Also thanks to every one who answered questions regarding this mess. Even answers that did not get it rerooted etc helped to find the answers that got this thing back to usable.
word to the wise do not buy display units or "refurbs" from bestbuy good chance a scammer returned it after adding insurance etc you will be left with something you can do nothing with in most cases. This type of scammy nonsense is very common here in northeast ohio at the very least

again i had to remove su -c from the adb commands and that was really the only change. They may work on some if not most other kindle fire hd 8.9 with 8.4.9 software update
First step you need to enable fastboot (kfhd 8.9) using kindle fire srt ver 2.1 (option 1) you can test fast boot if you like with getvar etc etc
What i did notice was the commands from the instructions i pulled from the forums here that included adb shell su -c would not work as wrote i had to remove the su -c at that point they worked flawlessly. If i can find all the sources for the instructions ill give props where props are do. So if any of you all who wrote the guids see your stuff please do take credit where do. I spent hours sifting the forums for various guids etc.
After enabling fastboot go ahead and root with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry option 1 your kfhd 8.9 with 8.4.9 is going to run stupid slow and painfully. Do not worry it works fine through adb and fastboot commands just dont freak out when it runs dead snail slow.

**** MAC USERS MAY NEED TO SPARSE THE FILES FOR RE-FLASHING TO THE DEVICE. I
NEED A MAC USER TO PROBABLY WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND I CAN POST BACKUP
COPIES OF THE STOCK PARTITIONS FOR DISASTER RECOVERY ****
STEP 2: Download the files you will need to install 2nd-bootloader, TWRP and
CM11.0:
Stack override file: http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/stack

(You SHOULD check this before using fastboot -- downloads CAN be corrupted)
Place the CM-11.0 ROM and the gapps .zip on your device in the /sdcard area
STEP 3. Install the stack override in /system:
ADB commands entered while booted up into STOCK *rooted* Amazon Kindle OS --
May need to enable ADB debugging in Settings:
[2013-08-21] edited the location where stack is placed on device due to
permissions changes
Code:
adb push stack /sdcard/
adb shell "dd if=/sdcard/stack
of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system bs=6519488 seek=1"
STEP 4. Stop the auto recovery update script (this file may or may not be

First step you need to enable fastboot (kfhd 8.9) using kindle fire srt ver 2.1 (option 1) you can test fast boot if you like with getvar etc etc
What i did notice was the commands from the instructions i pulled from the forums here that included adb shell su -c would not work as wrote i had to remove the su -c at that point they worked flawlessly. If i can find all the sources for the instructions ill give props where props are do. So if any of you all who wrote the guids see your stuff please do take credit where do. I spent hours sifting the forums for various guids etc.
After enabling fastboot go ahead and root with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry option 1 your kfhd 8.9 with 8.4.9 is going to run stupid slow and painfully. Do not worry it works fine through adb and fastboot commands just dont freak out when it runs dead snail slow.

Q: How do I know if my fastboot works?
A: With the Kindle powered down, type the following command into a cmd/terminal
window on your PC (should return with: < waiting for device> ):
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
Then connect USB to the Kindle and reboot. It *SHOULD* show a Fastboot screen
and your terminal window should show something like:
product: Jem-PVT-Prod-04
Type this to reboot out of fastboot mode:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING A 2ND-BOOTLOADER TO LOAD CUSTOM KERNELS / ROMS /
RECOVERY:
*** BE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD CHARGE ON THE DEVICE ***
STEP 1. Backup your stock partitions to your own HD for later if you need
disaster recovery:
Code:
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0block.img"
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot
of=/sdcard/stock-boot.img"
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery
of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img"
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system
of=/sdcard/stock-system.img" # This will take a few minutes
adb pull /sdcard/boot0block.img
adb pull /sdcard/stock-boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/stock-recovery.img
adb pull /sdcard/stock-system.img # This will take a few minutes
Take those files and put them somewhere safe.
**** MAC USERS MAY NEED TO SPARSE THE FILES FOR RE-FLASHING TO THE DEVICE. I
NEED A MAC USER TO PROBABLY WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND I CAN POST BACKUP
COPIES OF THE STOCK PARTITIONS FOR DISASTER RECOVERY ****
STEP 2: Download the files you will need to install 2nd-bootloader, TWRP and
CM11.0:
Stack override file: http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/jem/stack
[12/09] kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img (USED ONLY THE FIRST TIME -- .zip files
will have their own boot.img's from now on):
Mirror 1: Download (Goo.im)
md5sum: 8374cf88e75abda8c374044a1f0daa5f
[04/16] TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0:
Mirror 1: Download (Goo.im)
md5sum: a0c7533fd853849184850580350abd18
CM-11.0 for the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (choose the latest version from):
Mirror 1: Browse (Goo.im)
Google Apps from:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23311191640114013 (This version for CM-
11.0!)
Download the older 8.1.4 bootloader file and flash to your device via fastboot:
Mirror 1: Download (Goo.im)
md5sum a56f24c0c01aaea4bf408bc710faadaa
(You SHOULD check this before using fastboot -- downloads CAN be corrupted)
Place the CM-11.0 ROM and the gapps .zip on your device in the /sdcard area
STEP 3. Install the stack override in /system:
ADB commands entered while booted up into STOCK *rooted* Amazon Kindle OS --
May need to enable ADB debugging in Settings:
[2013-08-21] edited the location where stack is placed on device due to
permissions changes
Code:
adb push stack /sdcard/
adb shell "dd if=/sdcard/stack
of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system bs=6519488 seek=1"
STEP 4. Stop the auto recovery update script (this file may or may not be
present):
Code:
adb shell "mount -o remount,rw ext4 /system"
adb shell "mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-
recovery.sh.bak"
adb shell "mount -o remount,ro ext4 /system"
STEP 5:
[ With the device powered off: Issue the following commands into your
command/terminal window on your PC. Start with the first command and press
enter. Then connect USB to the Kindle and power on ]
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-2.7.0.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
*DONT RE-FLASH FREEDOM-BOOT.IMG LATER AFTER FLASHING CM11.0 -- IT'S FOR STOCK
AMAZON OS ONLY / FIRST INSTALL ONLY*
** If everything was done correctly your Kindle will reboot and you will at
first see the normal Kindle Fire ORANGE logo and then it will fade and come
back as a BLUE logo. **
TO ENTER RECOVERY:
Press the left volume button (volume up) while the logo is still YELLOW and
keep pressing until the logo turns BLUE. Wait a moment and you should enter
recovery.
STEP 6:
CM-11.0 AND GAPPS INSTALLATION:
(OPTIONAL) Make a backup by selecting "Backup" and then slide your finger to
the right on the "Swipe to Back Up"
Once complete use the pentagon "Home" icon in the upper right corner of the
screen (next to the back arrow and terminal icon)
Now, select "Wipe"
Swipe the "Swipe to Factory Reset"
Use the "Home" icon
Select "Install"
Browse to the location on your device where you saved the CM-11.0 / GAPPS .ZIP
files
Select the CM11.0 .ZIP file in the list by touching it, then confirm it says
the name of the CM-11.0 .ZIP file on the next screen under "File to flash:"
Select "Add More Zips"
Select the GAPPS .ZIP file in the list by touching it -- make sure it says the
name of the .ZIP again under "File to flash:"
Swipe the "Swipe to Confirm Flash", and wait for it to finish.
If the screen is blank at any time you can hit the power button to "wake up"
the device
Once the flash is done, you'll see a "Home" and "Reboot" buttons at the bottom
of the screen
Select "Reboot"
CONGRATULATIONS YOU NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO INSTALL CUSTOM KERNELS / RECOVERY
AND ROMS.

That don't work, followed step 5 to a T. Just stuck the tablet at kindle logo.
So, after 2 days of reading all the guides and how-tos, I'm feeling that I need your, guys, help.
I'm stuck at boot logo, made factory resets via recovery, tried to force fastboot through adb, nothing happened.
Adb says that device is connected,
Code:
adb get-state
returns
Code:
device
, fastboot doesn't see it at all.
When I try to
Code:
adb push fbmode /data/local/tmp
it says that FS is mounted as read-only. Device is not rooted, so I can't remount it with
Code:
adb remount
Model no. P48WVB4.
Thanks in advance!
