I have a calibration build ready for testing. It reports if the touchscreen is functional and calibration details about it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chad24taylor:
I'm willing to test it.

Thats the one that sticks out the most. She said that, all cred dropped with me and I gave her a hard time for a while.

One time they were trying to vaccuum behind one of the stations and they yanked the rj45 port right out of the wall. They were all in a panic saying they called bestbuy tech support and said theyd have someone there in 4 hours, and couldnt process any online orders.

I said gimme a a 3feet ethernet and one of them extenders. i sat there and fixed it. Also I "fixed" the VOIP phone by accident. They said that never ever worked since they opened.

While doing it, said "Net+" girl asked what I was doing

"Page 1 of network +, go away"

While we're way OT:

Back in my BOFH days, I had a boss who, at a security conference, did a netstat on one our machines over telnet and proclaimed "WE'RE BEING HACKED FROM THE NETHERLANDS!!!" Nobody is quite sure why, though we suspect that, being offsite, he saw his own shadow.

Same guy also was trying to figure out which key went to our department RAID drive sleds. He eventually found the key, which also happens to cause the RAID to rebuild that disk to a hot spare so you can replace it. He then put the key in another sled and turned it, but because the RAID was rebuilding and there weren't enough disks online for parity, toasted all the data. It was a late night restoring from backups...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CrackMonkey91:
... Well anyway just saw a tweet that the twrp release is less then 12 hours away
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
Niiiiiice. :cool:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] CrackMonkey91:
OK it's supposed to be at 11 pm est
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
yeah buddy! this just makes it one step closer to flashing ICS on my beautiful fire :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
I'll be waiting!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yurdle:
Quite excited to see this.. been following this thread for quite some time waiting to see this come out :-) ... I'm sure it will be worth the wait :-)

Also thanks for the tech support stories guys lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
TWRP 2.0 had been in development since August. We've been waiting SOOO long.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
Just 2 more hours! Though it'll probably be more then that. -_-

With this new recovery, I want to get into making kernel's, any good tuts on getting started?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
For kernels, you'll wanna compile it and make it into a boot.img and fast boot boot them. It's much safer than flashing them as there's no risk of bricking them as once you reboot it will be like nothing ever happened if something goes wrong
[Kindle Fire Android Development] yurdle:
Lol yes I know that.. I saw the video demoing it when the video was first put up.. I was even excited for it then lol.. when I heard the kfire only had one button and recovery wouldn't be easy the first thing that popped into my head was twrp 2..

Just a little bit longer. Too bad I'm on work and on my break with no computer or kindle fire :(

someone help adb isnt recognizing my fire, no problem on my evo
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SikYou:
Wow! It's amazing to see that this recovery project is ready. I hope everyone has a good experience with it. Hopefully I'll have time to put together a factory cable in a few days and get my fire running again ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] andTab:
How did you get it to work?

I get an error: "fastboot: not found"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
OMG! TELL ME! HOW DID YOU INSTALL THAT CAMERA!? DOES IT WORK!?

/End Troll.

Lookin good boys.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
After you set the bootmode with idme bootmode 4002 you have to adb reboot.

Once you've rebooted you use fastboot to do the rest. Do you have a fastboot binary?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MayfairDROID:
Exit adv. You also need the fastboot command. You can find it around.the kind.dev.threads.....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
I heard a rumor that TWRP would have the FIREFIREFIRE bootloader built in, but it doesn't look like thats the case. I guess I need to install it manually.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MayfairDROID:
Om...so once this is on, we can use fjrefirefire bootloader to boot into this with out the fastboot cable or connection to a computer?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
Could someone PLEASE post a full thread on installing this rom. I know it may seem simple, but it's obviously causing a lot of confusion. Either that or a rooting-recovery-flashing rom thread would be helpful ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
Yes. w/o the FIREFIREFIRE bootloader you have to change idme bootmode with adb or fastboot to get into recovery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] andTab:
that's not in the instructions ...

And I do have fastboot.exe in the folder - list of files in adb directory:

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

busybox

fastboot.exe

recovery.apk

su

Superuser.apk

twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

zergRush
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
Do you think you could possibly put this into a zip and upload? Then we could build from that directory :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] andTab:
Attached.

Had to take out recovery.apk (which I believe is not needed?)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Wow, a all in one package already! Sweet! also, The twrp img has been updated to include the firefirefire bootloader. It should be about 10mb, also has a bug fix

Thanks dude.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
edit: fixed myself!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neilrl79:
It seems as tho i bricked mine, i followed instructions and booted into twrp then hit reboot and got stuck at the yellow triangle, can't get adb or fastboot to work and ican press the power button a thousand times and it doesn't boot me into recovery. If any one has any ideas i'd be very appreciative.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
This is not a rom, so you wont you have rom installing directions.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sl0ttedpig:
Never fear! There is generally always a way out of these situations, it just takes someone else to have the same situation to come to rescue! :)

So, what you will need to do is (NOTE: This is Windows Only, although the commands may work for you on other platforms after Step 2):

1. Reboot your PC. The reason is that it still thinks your Android device is still connected (you'll see this in Device Manager).

2. Once rebooted, connect your Kindle again via USB. You'll probably hear 3 tones (which means it recognized a device, but didn't load any drivers). In device manager, you'll see a device just called "kindle" or "unknown" with an exclamation point by it. At this point, you'll need to install drivers for it again. Pick "Browse my computer for driver software" BUT don't browse, just click on "Let me pick from a list...", and select "Android Phone" and then pick the newest "Android Composite ADB Interface" from the list. I think you may have 4.0.0.0 or something similar (you may have only a 2.x version possibly depending on which drivers you loaded to root your phone).

3. Once you've done that, you'll need to run the following:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

If that doesn't work you could try some different iterations depending on the state of your install.

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot reboot

OR

fastboot -i 0x18d1 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x18d1 reboot

Hopefully at that point, things will look rosy again! :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neilrl79:
Going to try it now...

UPDATE: Holy ****! You sir are awesome! I'm editing this post from my now un-bricked fire.

.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rukin5197:
No no no. What I'm saying is that now we have root, recovery, and roms, somebody should post a guide that teaches us all in one. How to root. How to get flash recovery, and how to install the ROM. It would be useful for people like me who are getting it for christmas and don't want to be using 8 different websites trying to achieve cm7 on your fire.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gaurav2328:
I am struck at the same place and tried to follow your instructions but windows isn't even recognizing half the time, when it recognizes it lists it as unknown device in device manager and when I try to update the driver - it does not take the edited google-usb drivers any more. I tried running the command buut Fastboot keeps waiting for device..

Any solutions..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] fleton:
It worked! I was also scared I had bricked my device. Thank you so much! :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
I'm in the same situation.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
It really sounds like a driver issue. Did you add the 1949 line to your .ini file? You might also want to add 18d1 as well since in the latest FIREFIREFIRE the vendor id was changed to google.

Good luck!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
You fkin genius. You just made it possible for me to get back to studying for my finals :) Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Houndog101:
I'm in the same boat, and tried this, problem is device shows up as unknown, not kindle, it says driver is incompatible with device.. and when i give it fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 it stays at "waiting for device".

A lot of people are having this same problem, some aren't, not sure why..Thanks for your help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
unknown is fine, hit update driver, choose Android phone or anything Android related. I had to choose my asus drivers, select generic adb device then it'll recognize it for fastboot commands. I was up for hours trying to figure this out last night!

after u get those drivers, fastboot commands should work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] andTab:
Ok. At this point there is 10 different instructions, 2 different versions, and lots of problems.

Since I cannot get it to work - otherwise I would gladly volunteer - can someone post proper instructions how to get this to work? The (official?) TeamWin instructions obviously are missing stuff and do not work!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rodneym13:
I'm stuck on the Kindle fire screen after trying to in stall Recovery I used the FASTBOOT method but said it couldn't find FASTBOOT.

ADB shell

su ( #)

idme bootmode 4002 ( worked)

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img ( this is where it said cant find Fast boot) I looked in my Android folder and couldn't find FASTBOOT.EXE

any suggestions??? Im bricked as of now it will turn Off but wont boot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] krelvinaz:
You need to download the fastboot.exe file.

It is including in another post in a file.zip file.

See PM.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iceshock:
Fastboot doesn't work from adb ;) open a second command line window for that command. After that, it'll be waiting for the device. In the first window where u r in recovery type reboot recovery.

There is a idme bootmode 4000 command to reboot out of recovery. It's in this thread I believe. If u dont it will likely hang up on reboot. Don't worry that command will get u out of that too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rodneym13:
THANK YOU!!!!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sl0ttedpig:
I would agree, there are a lot of posts, and the 2 different versions haven't helped, however, people are in various different states, so posting a proper process may get you to where you want to be if you currently have never applied any of the TWRP or FireFireFire code, however, it won't help get people back to a running state. There are already posts popping up with end to end instructions for different OS platforms.

I think there are a lot of really good folks on this forum, and we'll help where we can to get people running, just try and explain where you are and how you got there (and which OS you're using), and someone will make a suggestion. From what I've seen (and done myself), it's actually pretty hard to totally brick these things! :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] alchemyst:
This tbf. Been a bit of a mess (though not to knock the efforts of the devs, testers and just as importantly, the people helping out others on here.)

Think Ill wait for a few days for everything to clear and see where we are.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] krelvinaz:
I just did the whole process for the first time without any issues.

I had watched what a lot of others were doing and seeing what they kept running into... They were:

o Didn't have Fastboot.exe

o Missing step to reboot the device

o needed to reload the Device Driver after the fastboot command for it to continue

I had no problem doing the install and did my first backup of my stock Kindle Fire system for the first time.

I use an app called Quick Boot to easily reboot and now I can get to recovery without having to think about it.

In TWRP, I got stuck (I thought) when I clicked on the little screen icon on the top left of the display. It displayed log info, but I couldn't figure out how to get out of it.... Turned out, you click the screen icon again.. the other icons didn't do anything.

Would be nice if when doing a backup, you could enter a comment and have that saved with the backup info along with the date.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jutley:
I recommend highly to use the new kindle 1.0 utility it's simple and amazing and very simple moderators should sticky it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Just installed my first zip using twrp and it worked flawlessly! I now have a custom slider and battery icon :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] emelie:
Are you running the stock ROM?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Yeah. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
Okay so I'm completely at a loss here. I'm stuck on the Kindle Fire screen and when I go into device manager all I see is Android ADB Interface in the list and I get "this driver is not digitally signed" message. I'm on win 7 64 if that helps.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
u should be in fastboot.

open a cmd in the directory of fastboot, and run the fastboot install commands.

sent from my kindle fire
[Kindle Fire Android Development] RJ McKenzie:
That worked great for getting out of that triangle mode. I was stuck and couldn't do anything except turn the device off after 10 seconds of holding the power button. But after running that I could now do everything.

Here is what he is talking about http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

I installed that app, then ran it. Selected option 7 to reinstall the TWRP recovery and it worked.

Thanks a bunch.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
Thanks. I had to go to work, I powered it off and will try when I get home.

How about OMAP4BOOT for KF2

Hi It looks like you are pretty good at these things :)

I got a Kindle Fire 2 (KF2) that HARD BRICKED - Black screen, No LED and only showing up as a OMAP4430 device in Windows device manager.

But I can get responses from it with OMAP4BOOT - I'm just :p missing the right files to get it back up and running...

Any chance you have an idea to which files I should use? - I don't think the KF files will work for a KF2....

Hope you can spend a minute on me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Go to the kindle fire 2 forum to start...and then try soupkit
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
Actually, with the KF2, SoupKit (or anything else for that matter) will not work to restore the device when the OMAP4 ROM halts the boot process, as in the case of flashing an unsigned bootloader.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] irve:
Is there any where O can find a signed bootloader ???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
Like this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632375
[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
You can get a signed bootloader from the stock KF update.zip for your device. But the problem is the USB loader used to initially flash the bootloader must also be signed, and only Amazon has access to that copy.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] irve:
Well, not exactly course me need is for the Kindle Fire 2 (kf2).

Thats why I need it to be signed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tobiascuypers:
Oops should have done some reading. Yea do what soup said. Get assigned one from the Stock amazon update
[Kindle Fire Android Development] t3chwizard:
I know it's been about 10 years (hard to believe), but I was looking through this today as I am attempting to revive a somewhat unresponsive KF 1st gen. It seems that zip wouldn't open on Linux for me, so I extracted it on Android with Zarchiver and recompressed to zip, and this one I attached appears to work correctly now

EDIT: Seems I missed the part about renaming the zip to tar.bz2 in the OP, oof well at least I know now
[Kindle Fire Android Development] death2all110:
I'm definitely willing to help. Ill be in the irc room soon.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] SikYou:
I can definitely test and help out in any other way needed. I am away from ky Linux box for the night so I wont be able to fastboot until tomorrow but PM me if you need me to test or if I can help in any way.

I am willing to test as well. I am off all day tomorrow and can hop in irc if you need someone. Just PM me if you need the extra help.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] agrabren:
I've already posted as much of the details as I could put together here:

http://tinyw.in/7AL4

It does have some risks involved, it's very hard to work on a device based entirely on what details people have posted already online, that's why I've been looking for someone local to work with.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gus6464:
Sorry I was out all day but I can lend you my fire. I live in south austin so send me a pm with the details and how you wanna do this.

Edit: I will be doing stuff all weekend so I won't have time to use it much so if you want to have it from friday-sunday just let me know.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
Woot thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] EABonney:
Someone buy this person a beer! :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
You guys can boot into their recovery by pushing the stock sh binary into /sbin/ and also pushing the stock recovery binary into /sbin/ and then you can adb shell, then type recovery and the screen should show up. I never tried to get the touch screen working because I got nervous and flashed back into stock
[Kindle Fire Android Development] agrabren:
Common problem with the rearch. TWRP 2 is far more complex than other recovery engines. Sometimes this causes hiccups.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] agrabren:
For everyone who wants to show your support of efforts like TWRP 2, take a moment and toss Gus6464 some beer money. The man graciously met up with me this afternoon to loan me his Kindle Fire for the TWRP2 port. It suffers the same issues as the Motorola Xoom (which is why the black screen and no shell) but they are issues I'm ready to tackle and fix. It's people like him who get these problems solved, by providing a means for the developers to crack it.

TL;DR: Gus6464's donation to getting recovery was his device for the weekend. Everyone elses donation should be beer money to Gus6464 to prove that helping the devs out is something that helps us all.

I'll post a picture later tonight once I get the dynamic linker fixed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
You can't push sh to /sbin/ to acquire a she'll?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] agrabren:
And as a good-night update, I've got TWRP 2 booting recovery directly, without adb pushing anything. Only problem remaining is the touchscreen calibration is a bit off (which is an easy fix).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
I'm loving what Im reading here! cant wait for the first release!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pyrostic:
So what kind of time frame are we looking at for TWRP to be released to all supported devices (or select few?) ? I know that the kindle fire desperately needs a touch recovery for development to continue (unless we can get passed the one button thing) (we don't even have a cheap rom) also are there still problems with the recovery that's keeping it from getting launched? I appreciate your valiant efforts and hate to ask this, and I normally wouldn't if our device didn't need this recovery so badly, but I figured if someone needed to be that guy I would stick my foot out and be that guy.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Awesome news. I stopped at rooting it for market since I was too scared to brick it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
This is awesome. Thanks for your hard work!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] agrabren:
We're looking in the next week or two (hopefully). Obviously, it's a "when it's done", but we all want it to be done. But we aren't willing to risk peoples devices over poorly tested code, especially in a recovery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chuffykow:
Can you outline how you get into recovery during bootup (without changing things via idme), or is that process still being developed?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] agrabren:
I'm having to use idme, because I'm not willing to risk burning out his device. A more adventurous soul with a good warranty policy on their device can discovery it. I would put a bet on either grounding the ID pin, or pulling it high via a pull-up resistor. The pull-up resistor is the most common way to trigger a different behavior.

But we appear to have all the other parts pretty clean. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
I don't have a KF, but it Maybe possible to create an alternate boot loader that gives options at start for what you want to boot into. Just throwing ideas around, I don't have the device and don't know the specifics of it, but they managed to do it in the touchpad so why not KF. Of course it would need touch input though =) anyone that can enlighten me on the bootloader on this device and maybe we can come up with something?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
I'm thinking with such a touch based device, why not just get koush to port cwm with no touch controls which should be easier, and make rom manager work and be a requirement in every custom Rom? Rom manager enters and leaves as we tell it what to do, make a backup, flash a Rom, whatever. seems easier if u ask me
