Mine said busy as well. I just ignored it and went on. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
to confirm: this works for people on version 6.2, I now own a Kindle Fire with CM7 successfuly booted :D it works nicely as well. not to install GAPPs
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
I dont see why we cant just inject the gapps files into the CM zip.

Whenever I dled a rom for my phone, I would always stick a titanium.apk and root explorer in there to ensure it was there so I could install/remove stuff.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
I ignored that too and it seemed to go on fine, but the next part is where I'm stuck. Here's a better picture..

Also, if I just skip the last part and do 'adb reboot' it just reboots back into clockwork with errors saying it can't open /cache/recovery/log and /cache/recovery/last_log.. I did copy those 2 files as mentioned btw.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] michintom:
type adb shell and try again. ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
both of your log files are called last_log o.o im lost..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
how charged does my battery need to be?

I of course ignored the full battery step, and did it with 20 percent battery, after copying the recovery files and re-booting it flashed something about battery to low, and then just booted like normal.

I'm assuming that the kindle checks the battery before booting into recovery?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
Anyone check if you can install the Amazon launcher to grab the free app of the day still?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] publicanimal:
That is what I am going to do. I flash CM7 nightlies on my Droid and I've always manually added to gapps to the ROM .zip before flashing to save time/effort of having to flash multiple things. Any reason not to do this? Did the .zip need to be signed?

Also, any path back to the stock ROM after flashing this? No one has answered this 'yes or no' question.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
Ok so now it says:

8888+0 records in

8888+0 records out

4550656 bytes (4.3MB) copied, 1.736663 seconds, 2.5MB/s

then i do 'adb reboot' and it reboots back into clockwork again saying it cant open the log and last_log files?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
tried installing Google Services Frameworks APK, it worked. tried moving Market to /system/app and giving it rw-r--r-- like the stock ROM fire, but when I try to log in with Google, it "can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" of course the WiFi works fine, browsing the web plus email with zip problems. did I do something wrong?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
From what I know it was just a licensing issue where google didn't want any of the apps pre bundled with cyanogenmod.

Other than that, shouldn't be any reason we as end users can't edit the zip.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
Has anyone else done this on Windows? What commands did you use to reflash the stock recovery in the last step?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
adb shell

mount sdcard

it might say it's busy, ignore that

adb push /sbin/

adb push (file where your stockrecovery.img is) /sbin/

adb shell

dd if=/sbin/stockrecovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery

reboot

I'm on a Windows 7 PC and that worked for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Adam.h.ogle:
Just to post a success story, CM7 is running on mine. I lived dangerously and flashed with ~20% battery left. I wouldn't suggest doing this, since you basically have 1 error-free shot, but everything seems to be working fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bahman2000:
i flashed from kindle fire rom 6.2

this CM7 on kindle fire is MUCH faster than my nexus one

no sound

playing videos (youtube in browser, mp4 on sd) crashes; youtube app works

sometimes it freezes for a few seconds (usually when scrolling extensively i.e. in market)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
Ugh. I hate it when its something so simple lol.. I was doing 'adb reboot' in the end rather than 'reboot'. When I just did 'reboot' it worked :D

Thanks :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
how'd you get market working?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bahman2000:
i first got amazon market apk, installed es file explorer

got gapps.zip

unzipped, installed googleserviceframework first, rebooted, then copied vending.apk to /system/apps and installed from there

that seemed to work

then later i decided i wanted all of gapps, so i renamed gapps.zip as update.zip

flashed like the CM7 flash

market still works
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xiaoruisong:
Hi, could you teach me how to enable the hardware acceleration?

thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Adam.h.ogle:
Alternatively, I pulled the full Gapps zip from CM7, extracted it, and pushed all of the files through adb, so I wouldn't have to reapply CWM recovery. Everything seems to be working fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
So who knows what exactly is wrong with the sound? I haven't really looked, but the things that I thought were wrong. I know people were asking for the source
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
seemed to work for me (flash through CWM), thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
So I got to the part where I flash cm7 in recovery, but then I just stay in recovery. tried the reboot command, and it just put me back to recovery. When I try to push the stock recovery back (the last part of the instructions, it says

dd: can't open '/sbin/stockrecovery.img' : no such file or directory
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Well did you push stockrecovery.img to sbin?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Adam.h.ogle:
Here's a list of things that don't seem to be working correctly right now:

* GPU acceleration (maybe?). Quadrant crashes when trying to start the benchmark; Age of Zombies works fine; I can't really tell what's going on.

* Audio. There doesn't appear to be any hard crashes (nothing in the logcat), but there is no sound. I checked in the settings to ensure the audio volume wasn't zero or muted, but everything seems setup correctly.

What is working:

* Touchscreen

* Wifi

* Dual-core (Linpack single core = ~42, Multi core is ~70)

Overall, I'm happy with the current status of CM7. Good work JackpotClavin!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
bugs I've noticed:

tons of forced closes on Market (both manually installed and through CWM)

APKs won't download through browser

couple hangs and freezes every once and a while

no sound (:()

otherwise I've got mine with ICS launcher at 600MHZ min and 1008 max, running nice and smooth. great job!

though is there a way to return to stock yet? flash a system dump through CWM?

edit: market and APKs through browser are a go now :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
I put the stock recovery on the SD card like the instructions said, but I dont remember doing an adb push to sbin, how would I do that?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
You need to look at the bottom of the directions
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
Sound could be something to do with drivers

Missing. Or misconfigured sound isn't a biggy for me. only problem I see is the app market. Keeps fcing
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
I did everything at the bottom of the directions. Is it possible I forgot to put the stockrecovery.img on my sdcard? would that explain my problems?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Adam.h.ogle:
I just plugged in headphones to my tablet. Android recognized them (icon in status bar), but still no sound.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Just push it there now and complete the rest. You're still stuck in clockwork right?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
Yeah, Im stuck in clock work, I moved the stock recovery to my c drive, tried 'adb push c:\stockrecovery.img'

and it says /sbin/sh: adb: not found
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tannerzion:
Great work op! I'll update in month when my prime trial runs out. Hopefully by then improvements are made.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nirslsk:
How does one go back into CWM? I want to install gapps as update.zip but for the life of me can't boot back to it. I tried through ROM manager, holding the power button, doing the idme bootmode 0x5001 thing, everything I try just lands me back in Cyanogen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
That's strange, try powering off the kf completely and powering it back on and try repushing it. Did you also copy the stock recovery to sd card?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
To get back to cwm you have to reflash cwm to recovery the same way you installed cm originally
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nirslsk:
*smacks forehead* That makes sense :) thank you!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
how do i power it completly off when im stuck in clockwork? is there an adb command for that? i did the md5sum check command and it was correct for the update.zip and the updaterecovery.img but it didn't find the stockrecovery.img, so im thinking i forgot to put it on my sdcard
[Kindle Fire Android Development] neilrl79:
Man I really want to flash this, especially since I can't access the amazon stuff anyway, but I'd really need sound and android market working.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
also, at the bottom of cwm it says

e: can't open /cache/recovery/log

e: can't open /cache/recovery/log

e: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

e: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Type adb shell

Mount sdcard

Cd sdcard

Ls

And see if you have the stock recov there.

And you still can't push to sbin?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xiaoruisong:
Market Crush happened to me when I used the old version of Market. After updating Market app to the lastest version and clearing the cache, crushes just went away lol :)

hope this helps
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Skimp Killah:
I was able to adb push the stockrecovery.img to the sdcard, then i did the dd command, but changed the /sbin/stockrecovery.img to /sdcard/stockrecovery.img worked and cm7 booted. holy ****.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Lol nice!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
This is way better than stock. No way I'm going back :)

Edit: Workaround for market force closing..

1. Bookmark market.android.com on your favorite browser.

2. Send apps to your device from there.

3. Scream in joy.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjanice44:
Jackpot, many thanks for your hard work on this.

I have followed all the instructions for flashing google apps but keep getting fc after i start the market.

Also, any idea on whats wrong with the sound?

Again, many thanks and I am gratefule for all of your hard work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Adam.h.ogle:
I cannot express how nice and smooth CM7 is on this device. I own a Motorola Droid 3 (same hardware), so I've had an idea of how the tablet should perform, but Amazon's default load was horrible. Now my tablet is silky smooth and fun to use!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] michintom:
Just download the latest version of the market and your good to go.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjanice44:
Hi, would you mind telling me which version of the market you installed? I downloaded the version I downloaded and used was 201108. did you just flash in CWM after the CM& flash?

Also are you having sound issues?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
it works! lol

plus I can download APKs online. it was just an issue with MegaUpload.

any word on why sound won't work?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
I believe I've solved the shotty scrolling quality on the home screen. It'll be thrown into ics when that's ready
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
Next Sunday? LOL just kiddin man. Nice work!

Did anyone try the Amazon Streaming Video APK yet? This is the only thing holding me back. Love my streaming Prime :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
Hopefully! I still haven't had a booting build yet, but I'm making progress
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
If this has been answered I'm sorry in advance, but has the sound issue been resolved?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
Ics on this would be hot. Then just wait for cm9

please help!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
U rooted bro?

Try adb shell

Then proceed with the dd commandz
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MrJandD:
I am rooted, that worked, thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
Hey I don't mean to bother you.but do you know any quick fix for the sound?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
Even after its booted, we're going to need drivers and the EGL to be worked on, I'd take a CM7 build that's rock solid over ICS. But that's just me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bigjkcfan:
There is currently no fix for the sound, please stop asking every hour, its amazing enough what the devs have done in under 3 weeks, once or if the sound gets fixed, i'm sure it will be posted in the original thread, so just hang tight with the rest of us and enjoy what we now have.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
Yeah I know I seen some were he posted that it could be a missing file. Just wanted to know if he tried adding that file
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
I remember someone said something about changing the dalvik heap size to 64 to fix the YouTube occasional stuttering, but if what you're talking about is within the performance menu in cm settings, it only goes up to 48?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bigjkcfan:
I think the setting that he is referencing was in the build.prop file, if you look in the android development forum it, there is a topic that is build.prop, it talks about enabling hardware acceleration and the dalvik heap size, I do not recommend downloading and replacing the build.prop from that post to your kindle though, I did it and it messed up the touch screen, it was loads of fun to get it back working correctly.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjanice44:
On the sound issue. People are asking about the sound because until you said there was no fix, no one made such a statement.

I as well as the rest of the people on this board know and APPRECIATE the work jackpot has put into this. Having said that.. SOUND functionality is a big deal. I would have been perfectly content to wait 2 months for this build, but there was no mention that sound didn't work in the post. I personally would have waited until that was there until using this. There is no way for us to go back to stock that I know of so we are kind of wondering and waiting about it

I think it is a fair question and there is no need to get on peoples case about it. I agree there is no need for people to keep asking the same question about it, however In the interest that it might be helpful for Jackpot to at least post a statement about it and what our options are i.e. a way to get back to stock or whatever.

Jackpot, I for one love the work you have done so quickly on cm7. Would you mindperhaps just giving us a statement or what our options are if we need sound? revert to stock somehow or whatever

Thanks again for all you help and work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] loki154:
I'm glad you said this, I was wondering if we could backup from CWR. But I see that isn't the case.

I'm extremely grateful for Jackpot working so hard on this. I only wanted the issue clarified before I flashed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
Heads up to anyone not satisfied with the resolution of app icons on here.. Launcher7 looks really nice on this now and everything works.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iluretar:
maybe it is the same as with phones and you need nexus s drivers
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
I tried to mod with the system dump. tried 3 different zips and files, no success. still on CM7, not a bad thing, but trying to restore to stock method. what files did you use to wipe data/cache?

---------- Post added at 07:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

did you unplug at any time? if it's plugged in it should work. try to push the file by doing this: adb push C:/Users/YourName/where the stock recovery is/stockrecovery.img /sbin/ press enter than do the rest!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animefun135:
failed to copy 'updaterecovery.img' to '/sbin/updaterecovery.img': Read-only fil

e system
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iDylan1357:
DON'T unplug. did you mount the sdcard? what did you right before it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
I don't think angry one is not satisfied with the work OP has done. I love my kindle fire now with cm7 even if sound don't work. Don't bother me none. It was a mistake that OP left out sound but the fact that he posted a release date and stuck to it is amazing. By all means he didnt have to release the Rom and the fact that he went from porting CM7 to porting ics is amazing. We all should I owe the OP a Arm and a leg
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nguyenhonganh:
Great job!!!!! Thanks sir
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spyz88:
How about updating the OP to say sound not working ATM? I'm waiting until I can flash back to stock before I install CM7 but I am sure that warning would be useful to future tweakers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
Slightly off topic but, how does one modify Clockwork recovery so the menu items are listed differently? I didn't think source code was available but maybe I'm wrong?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ags29:
I'm speaking in general because a lot of people were trying to figure out a way around low resolution app icons that weren't designed for a 1024x600 display. I simply suggested trying out Launcher7. In no way was I implying being unsatisfied with the rom, as I have had nothing but praise for it.

Edit: :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bahman2000:
About lack of sound:

Is there a way for us to adb push the xml file?

Could you share it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spyz88:
Please! +1
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Veritass:
I'll be a tester if he didn't know.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lobstrain:
Ladies, ladies, can we all just relax and not make posts that do nothing to further this project (like heated, worthless 3 word replies, for example)?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] andTab:
Shouldn't it be possible to go back to stock by using the above instructions and simply replacing the CM7 images with the stock ROM images for the Kindle Fire?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lobstrain:
That's what I was thinking, but I'm kinda waiting for someone to confirm it. Also, I'd like to be able to backup my ROM rather than go back to vanilla stock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bjanice44:
I pushed it. It didn't work for me
[Kindle Fire Android Development] emelie:
I'm new to the Kindle Fire section and couldn't find anything about this - once I'm able to backup my current ROM I'm going to test anything (including CM) I can get my hands on and will provide feedbac.

Anybody?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animefun135:
More details? OK.

First I flash CM7 and this was success... but sound don't work so and hardware video acceration... I decide back to my stock firmware. And I got fail.

Crash adb - when I put "adb shell" it says system/sh no such file or directory

then I tried push all /system - some file pushed but not all and I have error "not enouth space"

then my device got endless boot and reboot and this all I can't do nothing because I have only 5-10 seconds connected Kindle to computer, after that Kindle reboot ...

for now Kindle Fire just is on a table with black screen like brik.

All clear? (sorry for poor english)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] spyz88:
AFAIK there is no way to return to the stock Fire ROM at this time. I'm pretty sure this was mentioned multiple times.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] animefun135:
ok, but I'm can't even flash cm7 again. my device can't even boot :/// only kindle fire logo shows and repeat it again and again...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
No offense but from what I gather from your other posts is that you really don't have much of a grasp on android devices. You really shouldn't have jumped in balls deep to something like this this soon.

As hyped as I was for CM7, I didnt bite. I dont even use sound on my kindle fire. I dont watch videos. None of the current side effects of CM7 would apply to me.

But with no functional recovery and clear cut path back to stock, as much as I don't like or want it, I'm not upgrading.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] detnap:
Just wanted to mention that I was successful with the flash to cm7. Just wanted to say excellent job.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asb2164:
Have you noticed that most of the people who are saying "OMG help me my new KF is Borken" Had just registered in the last couple of days?

I call this the Facebook Effect, Some months ago Virgin Mobile came out with an update to some piece of **** Android phone the Intercept.

The update.zip was leaked they were all on the VM FB page and there would be clear instructions on how to apply the update posted every 5 min. yes someone was always posting "OMG How I get update".

I think a few people even gave bad advice that led to a few boot loops.

These people want instant gratification do not want to read anything and want someone to hold their hand then when something goes wrong they want their money back.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thelgow:
I see what people mean. I would frequent a few boards here and there over my years, but I never was on one that much like this from the beginning of the devices life.

I'm getting tired of the Market doesn't work, etc as well.

I dont use facebook otherwise I'd be down to help. Just say Cyanogenmod, best thing, make it faster, crystal clear sound.

I've never know a crystal to make a lot of noise so it cant be that inaccurate.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] JackpotClavin:
okay here's the deal guys:

i just got this factory cable from team black hat and it automatically throws the kf into fastboot mode if i ever brick it. i'm testing out a way to get back to stock for you guys that NEED your sound. i did not want to do this before because i did not know if it was risky or not so i played it safe
[Kindle Fire Android Development] renegade027:
Yeah, I was thinking that too - I am trying to remember what was needed to make an update.zip out of the /system dump that I have...Think I've done this like ...about 1.5 years ago for the HTC Desire I had back then...I just can't remember what had to be done.

Second thing, why do we need to flash the stock recovery back in order to run CM7? Can't we just do:

idme bootmode 0x4000

reboot

and have the device reboot normally - assuming 0x4000 was the command for normal boot. OK, maybe I don't understand what I am talking about here...

EDIT:

could someone more experienced, please, check if this will make a proper update-script file:

show_progress 0.1 0

format SYSTEM

copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM

show_progress 0.1 10

Thanks for not getting too upset with some of the posters to continue your work. And thanks for keeping us updated. I am patient and haven't flashed yet, but when I do it will be with full knowledge that I may own a $200.00 flyswatter.

Guys, I think you understand what I mean. My native language - Russian and I'm just a student with a reduced budget, so the loss of my device is a great loss ...

In any case, I send my Kindle Fire on warranty repairs, Thank you very much and good luck.

P.S Now, I used google translate - Is that better? )
