Trouble Flashing ROM

Ok I can get my Kindle Fire working with a back up, but when I try to flash the CM7 rom I keep getting failed to load. Even if I try to flash the MIUI Rom I get the same error message , could someone please give me some feedback on this problem,

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imnotamorningguy:
I found it, thanks for your help. Don't worry about being short, no harm!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Elbob10s:
Anyone having problems with XDA force closing after login? When I go to favorite threads or just try to browse it'll force close on me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] imnotamorningguy:
I had that issue too, look for the thread about creating a fake IMEI. For some reason some apps won't work correctly without one.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Known issue i had the same on the free version if you upgrade its all good. I think it has something to do with the build props. Seems to much hassle to solve for me easier to upgrade lol. But this has been answered previously on thread.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Fix bluetooth and this baby will be flawless.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Bluetooth is not broke. Not even the stock rom had it, correct? It's just needs enabled.

Can anyone confirm the bug I posted earlier? Just want to make sure I am not alone.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
That's basically what I meant, and you are alone. The power extended menu is working perfectly for me with all three boxes checked. No bugs or glitches. When installing this rom make sure to wipe everything. EVERYTHING, that's what I had to do before you and I had the same problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
I do/did wipe everything as I always find it good practice to avoid a headache later on. But I did remove a few apks (ok alot, according the the CM7 barebones guide on the wiki), so maybe one of them broke it?

Edit: I should note, I used the wipe version of 1-13.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Arekku:
I would like to report a potential bug:

I updated my fathers kindle a week before the new year, and he is loving it. However, he claims that the kindle is losing battery at an alarming rate. He went to the battery settings and found out that the device was looking for a phone signal, and sucked up a ton of battery.

My install is working wonders. Love it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] devilot:
Extended power menu is working fine on mine.

EDIT: Working fine on BOTH of mine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Takenover83:
Thanks for confirming. I will re-install the 1-13 (wipe version) build a little later from scratch and see if it fixes my issue.

Edit: Reflashed, and all is ok. Not sure where it went wrong before.

Anyone know what's involved in getting the light sensor to work? Love this rom, very excellent job. Would be nice tto get the light sensor working.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Elbob10s:
So after adding the fake IMEI, twice today the Kindle's screen hasn't come back on after being locked for a while. The button lights up green but it never comes on. The only way I've found to get it back is to hold the power button down until it powers off and then turning it back on.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] The Anthem:
Its a coincidence that it happened after sending he imei. That issue is prevelant across fires on any ROM. I myself had it happen multiple times on stock.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] MMDominator88:
I also would like some insight into why this ROM doesn't use the light sensor properly. @whistlestop, Do you know the reason the sensor doesn't work int his port? And would a logcat show anything related to the light sensor reading/receiving any information? Is there a certain device ID # for it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
An annoyance with CM7 that upsets me now is,

on the Google market my credit union has an app.

It crashes the instant you run it. I tried the imei trick but it still does.

Take a look for Lake Michigan Credit Union on there, and you will see what I mean.

Would love to see a method to make it work :(

Doesn't crash for me, but I don't have an account and can't log in.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
I have not added the fake IMEI but I have the same issue where my fire freezes up and I have to manually reboot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] borborpa:
Because the light sensor doesn't work on the factory software either? Amazon disabled it in their updates due to issues. I doubt it's much of a priority on anyone's radar right now. Once ICS is up and running someone might give it a shot.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Segnale007:
is this a sort of SOD? did you try SoftLocker Free to trick the fire to not go to deep sleep mode?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] rotsu:
Is there a way to disable the phone functionality?

IT is sucking a lot of power and there is no phone in Kindle.

Any safe way to uninstall it?

Some have removed it with TI Backup. Some say it is fine, others have problems.

I use Juice Defender Ultimate (paid) and it has a tablet mode to disable the radio. I use my CM7 Fire a bunch through the day and still have over 40% battery left at bedtime; it gets fairly steady use from 5am to 10pm.

There is an Auto Wifi Toggle (free) in the market that allows you to enable airplane mode which will stop the radio, and then override wifi enable in airplane mode. I have not used it, but investigated early on for my fire.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] asb2164:
I hope this works I just installed it.

The deep sleep thing was getting kind of annoying.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Segnale007:
It did work on the TouchPad CM7 before the SOD thing was addressed.

I yet don't have kindle fire to test it though. Let us know if it worked for u..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] worldwidepmp:
Between the status bar FC's and the random SOD I couldn't take it anymore, rooted stock with ADW will have to do until CM9 is ready.

Did not work SOD 2 times this evening.

I will play around with the settings I may try to increase the CPU min. to something higher my research has pointed to this solving the problem on some devices.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] backdown:
Alright, so i rooted last night using the Kindle Fire Utility. I have TWRP installed as well.

I am coming from a stock rom. Last night when i flashed cm7, it worked for a little bit. I rebooted it, and now it doesn't work. It brings me right up to the TWRP recovery screen each time. If i wipe everything, and then flash the rom again..it does a boot loop back to the recovery. Any help? I am downloading just the regular rom file right now to see if i can get it to work..
[Kindle Fire Android Development] evilsock:
i didnt see anything in the OP anymore about it, so i guess the audio/ video playback works now? any known bug a boos?

OK dumb question but just spent an hour looking so just going to ask. If I disable the full screen block option in CM settings for say Netflix, is there anyway to exit or are you screwed till your flick is done?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
You are stuck in fastboot. It's easy to get out of, just look up how to get out for your operating system: Linux, windows or Mac.

You should not have to get out of fastboot again unless you make an error.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Press power quickly and release. A menu will pop up with Back and Menu buttons, plus a bunch more, Reboot, Shutdown, Screenshot, etc.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] chairshot215:
Thanks for the quick response, was on my way to make an edit that I figured it out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] tillum:
My question isn't about whether a dev can do it for me, a dev is simply someone writing code and hacking the hardware. I'd like to look at this myself. So to ask again: does anyone know why the light sensor isn't working, or where it's enabled in this rom? Thanks.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Segnale007:
Another trick that worked on the touchpad was to set the CPU scaling to ondemandctl, and create a SetCPU profile to set the CPU to 290mhz min when screen off.

Of course the SOD on the TouchPad was related to a bug with the CPU voltage when idle, and at this point we really have no idea what is causing the SOD on the kindle fire, so even this trick might not work.

I will try to figure out what is causing the SOD on the fire as soon as I get mine delivered next week.

SOD = Sleep of death. Kindle Fire will not wake up after being left alone for a long while and falling in a deep sleep. Only option is to hard reboot. (hold power button down till the Kindle Fire shuts off)

OK so when I'm in an app I get the arrow symbol so I can remove the notification bar which is nice, but sometimes that arrow won't go away even after leaving the app. And now I've noticed there's also a + symbol next to it. Anyway to get rid of this as I don't ever use it anyway, and the symbols staying there get annoying. Also what does the + do?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] emelie:
I was wondering about that as well.

This arrow appearing and disappearing randomly is about the only thing that seems out of place on my CM7 installation.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bobgnarley:
@altitude909

Have you tried reflashing twrp, that that maybe got corrupted, and then see if your sdcard contents is there. I had a similar problem with my galaxy s2 where my clockworkmod wouldnt pick up the contents of the sdcard. Worth a shot.

$adb shell

cm7 wifi issue

I am a noob who loves the cm7 on kindle fire.

for some reason my wifi doesn't activate when I power on the fire. it was working fine until my kid got hands on it. I now have to go to settings and activate wifi manually

what is odd is that even if I shut down with wifi on when I start up again the wifi setting is unchecked and I have to manually start the wifi.

can someone help? it must be a setting but I've tried to change them including airplane mode and nothing seems to work

thanks in advance
[Kindle Fire Android Development] marty331:
I experience this too, although not every time.

I'm thinking about calling customer service about-ooh right, I'm running a custom ROM and can figure it out on my own!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
I got that with mine when I accidentally enable airplane mode. I quickly changed it back, but then had the same wifi issue. I restored from backup to solve it. There are a couple apps in the market that allow wifi even in airplane mode, and those would solve some of the cell standby issues as well, I'd guess.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Same here wifi drops when screen sleeps.

Been running cm7 a few weeks and i am so impressed.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Settings, Wireless & networks, Wi-Fi settings, (press menu) Advanced, Wi-Fi sleep policy, there are three choices *When screen turns off; * Never when plugged in; * Never

You probably have the first one selected?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Give the app WiFi Lock a try. I actually use a switch in Switch Pro to toggle the sleep policy from never to screen off, depending on what I'm doing, without having to go into the settings.

There's an app that will let you make custom shortcuts to about anything on the device but I can't remember the name.

For what it's worth, I have always had to manually start wifi after a reboot. Cm7 makes this really easy though! Just add wifi toggle to your power widgets in the notifocation bar. That way, you just open the notification bar, and tap the wireless widget. Let me know if you need more instructions.

You may consider Button Savior. I prefer the full screen, too. and This app will always provide you with a way back to home if the app doesn't. Very useful for tablets that don't have buttons like the KF.

You can also hold down the power button to get a context menu. By default it has stuff like Home and Menu, but you can go into CM settings and add Back as well. You may get the bottom bar back just by bringing up this context menu. Hope that helps.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] thedarksavant:
While I have not updated my Kindle, I have much experience with CM7 on the HTC EVO. My advice is to only wipe cache and dalvik. If you get fc's then fix permissions. If you still get fc's, factory reset (full wipe).

Well this has been running fine for me all day and no reboots or anything odd so far. Only thing on the down side is battery life for me is just a tad bit worse than stock but it is way better than the ics i have tried.

I put it in my download folder on my sd card of my kindle via usb. I booted into TWRP, made another backup, wiped my cache and dalvik, tried to flash the "update.zip", and got an error stating that the zip file could not be opened.
