TWRP blocked my wget.

http://random.kennocha.com/kindle/twrp/twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

In the run.bat you can replace

set twrpurl="http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img"

to:

set twrpurl="http://random.kennocha.com/kindle/twrp/twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img"

0.9.1 will be coming later today, and be doing MD5 checks to make sure that if this starts happening again, it will block i from attempting to go.

For now just add in that line, and delete the recovery folder it might already have.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] irishmyles003:
yes, this was my problem too. Except I figured it out awhile ago and posted it in another thread. The script was only downloading a 8KB twrp.img file and not the full one, so I replaced the one in the 1st thread with the one that I downloaded, and it flashed the recovery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
Last night their servers were just down. Now they are up and blocking wget.

I was able to wget before, but now they put a pretty big stop to it.. Kind of sad, but whatever!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] crl0901:
Awesome, thanks. I'm currently waiting for my battery on the Fire to run out, the damn thing is stuck at the Kindle FIre logo screen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dgless21:
Vashy, do you have any ideas for this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bennettg:
vashypooh

thank you for this. will it work on ubuntu?

if not can you tell me where and how your script installed google calendar and how you get it to sync?

I was rooted before the update and got all tootle apps up and running. calendar is installed but it will not sync. I installed the sync settings app but do not see calendar as an option. what magic have you written into your script?

thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kodemage:
I'm using version 0.9 but when I install the drivers provided windows can no longer see my KF. Any ideas? Kindle is stock, as in restored to default settings. Plug it in and the OS sees it fine. Run the KFU .9 and it can't see the device. Installed the drivers provided, can't see the device and windows can't see it anymore either.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
Sometimes try running it twice and it will come up the 2nd time.

daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon

Hi everyone - thanks for all the great info.

A little background:

-Kindle version: 6.2.1

-Windows 7 32-bit

-Running .bat as Administrator

-ADB drivers installed correctly I believe (Device Manager says "Android Composite ADB Interface")

I'm trying to install TWRP to my Kindle fire and notice this strange line appearing throughout the scripts:

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

** daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon

These lines occur many times throughout the process, yet the process continues until it says <waiting for device>, where it just stalls indefinitely. So it is going through the Fastboot and rooting steps while displaying this message over and over throughout. It is almost as if the process thinks that it actually has been rooted, even though this error shows that it isn't. I've tried searching here but can't seem to find anyone that has had this specific issue. Pulling my hair out at this point - any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DangKid:
Get into adb and try running "adb devices". What's it say?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
EVERYONE who is not familiar with adb or fastboot, use this!

awesome work op!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ygvuhb:
TWRP just like cwm

we can backup the current rom?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
yup. consider it a touch version of it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jutley:
Lets say what if I flashed stock update.zip would.I loos trwp and also if amazon bring a new update soon and we flashed it ota would we loose trwp if we do why?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] YourIcarus:
Following this, two things happen. If I download the file from this post and attempt to install it, I receive an error stating Windows could not find files. If I install from the driver included in the OP, it's successful. However, ADB still does not recognize the device, and the Kindle Fire Utility returns an error: device not found.

Any help?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] teookie:
I heard that the Amazon update.zip replaces both boot and recovery. So yes, if you flash that you will loose twrp and FIREFIREFIRE.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mddmx:
Wow! Very nicely done.

Thank you!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] iluretar:
try this it may work:

open a cmd windows from your sdk tools folder, not the platform-tools, just tools and run this:

android uptade adb

then go to your user folder c:\users\username there should be a folder named .android in there, open adb_usb.ini and add this line at the bottom

0x1949

save close and update driver again, hope it works
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jutley:
What a great tool well done op hope we get updates and support onto a real winner here what I like about it is simplicity thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
Yes it installs firefire. When you install twrp it goes to team wins website to download the software.

The yellow icon is fixed by the included drivers with the tool.

I have a few more options I want to add, and like installing Google Apps and so forth.

Glad people are getting some use out of this tool.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jutley:
Yes it helped me very much was stuck on the yellow fire screen but soon got helped and was on my merry way all I need now is a full and complete custom rom stock kindle web browser is the worst and really annoying this is the main reason I want our roll on ice scream
[Kindle Fire Android Development] YourIcarus:
That did it, thanks a ton!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
Dolphin HD works perfectly on the kindle fire. Its what I am using.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Handshake87:
I used this to flash TWRP nad god damn was it easy! Just didn't realize I have to choose option 1 for it to boot normal maybe add that in 0.2 just a suggestion though! All around its very nice!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
Hm, so when it was done flashing TWRP you mean have it switch you back into normal?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sadalius:
Yes, once your done with fastboot mode and have twrp installed and such, you have to switch back to normal boot mode.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jutley:
Yes that would be good would stop most the confusion as to why the kindle is stuck on the yellow triangular screen.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] cllinna:
I am stuck on the yellow triangle too, how did you get past it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
Easy enough, just gotta add one line to it :) I will work on releasing a new version today that I will likely try to have the ability to install all of the google apps, the framework, gmail and so forth, and a launcher, as well as include the option for locking the wallpaper and unlocking it so it doesn't keep changing on unlock.

Thanks for the suggestion!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
Select bootmode and hit normal.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] h3rmanmunst3r:
I think I can help!

I was having the same problem. I had previously rooted and installed SU using that method but when I tried to run KFU nothing would work properly ( I was getting same "adb cannot run in production mode" or whatever it said).

I decided to uninstall everything from my kindle including the SU and the BurritoRoot program and then restarted both my kindle and computer (restart may not be necessary). I figured I would try to use the KFU to do everything to unify the whole ordeal and it worked perfectly after that. It installed Burritoroot and SU and from there I was able to correctly install TWRP (it will hang at yellow triangle and this is where you go into device manager and update driver to that of the one included with KFU). After that it will finish and you can continue to install gapps and such. I think there must have been a conflict with either ADB or the SU that was installed before running KFU. Hope this helps you!!

Oh and btw, this program is AWESOME! I'm constantly amazed at the amount of time and effort devs put into doing things for android (im also a Dinc owner and love installing custom roms)

Vashypooh, you are amazing!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bigern79:
It says exactly the same thing:

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

** daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DangKid:
I used this guide also and I'm getting tons of error with KFU. By uninstalling everything on the kindle, do you mean a factory reset or actually uninstalling superuser/rootcheck/golauncher/etc.? How would that ensure that you start off on a clean start. I've been thinking about just factory reseting it but I had a ton of problems setting ADB first and that guide was the only method that actually got me anywhere.

Are you sure you set up ADB and the drivers correctly?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bigern79:
I'm fairly certain - I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, and it is showing correctly in the device manager.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] UntamedDeviance:
When you say showing correctly in device manager, what is it showing as? Kindle, or ADB Composite Device?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bigern79:
It says "Android Composite ADB Interface".
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
if you have troubles to remove old drivers use this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us

unplug/replug and install the drivers from KFU from scratch

it's not needed to reboot the computer - works immediately

btw. jcase made a custom version of burritoroot for KFU

HELP!!!!

Fifth Android all rooted and fine but this si the first time I havn't maunally pushed things over in adb and used a utility. It rooted fine but then when I tried to install TWRP2 (which I installed fine on my Evo3D) now it only shows the "Kindle Fire" logo and that's it. I cannot get it to recognize adb commands. Any clue what I can do?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] crl0901:
Read the past couple pages.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] pwned3:
Look in device manager on your computer. Sounds like a driver issue. It should say adb composite device. If it says anything else uninstall then manually reinstall the drivers. I also verify the size of the trwp file. I had a bad download but once I manually downloaded it everything went smoothly

sent from my cm7 rooted fire
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
did you read the tips on the first page ?

try to power the kf off/on by holding the power button ~20sec
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Anonamoose:
Ahha! It does not. I tried the unbrick help in general but my device manager list it as Android Phone

Android ADB Interface

Trying to manually install I get an error as the driver is 32bit and my system is 64bit.... le sigh any suggestions?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] oscarbum:
I apparently did this half-right

A lot of stuff installed (Go Launcher, Calendar, Google+), but Market didn't (and probably other stuff too.)

Has this happened to anyone else? I didn't see this pop up on a forum search.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
you have to use the drivers from the latest KFU (run install_drivers.bat)

they work for 32 and 64 bit

if you have troubles to remove old drivers use this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us

unplug/replug and install the drivers from KFU from scratch

it's not needed to reboot the computer - works immediately
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jimmy Conley:
Finally

I know I have should have used my xp virtual machine because win7 64bit was a hassle and a half to get the drivers working. I tried all the solutions on here. I finally had luck when the device was showing as a kindle and then I could manipulate the driver into a adb devices by updating the driver. Now that it's done I am more than happy with it running cm7.

Thanks so much to the OP for this cool tool :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Anonamoose:
I just wanted to say thanks all im outta the bootloop now it was a driver error. SO thanks a bunch guys! :D

I'm still having troubles with mine. Since that TWRP flash failed, it's stuck at the Kindle Fire screen. I tried letting the battery drain, then powering it back up but it's still stuck at the Kind Fire loading screen. Any suggestions on how to get this thing to boot? It's not showing up in Windows.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] insanespain:
You need to go into device manager in windows and reinstall the drivers that came with KFU. Then you need to set bootmode to 4000 with KFU and it will boot right up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] insanespain:
Also, just hold the power button down and it will eventually shut down. No need to wait for the battery to drain.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] crl0901:
That's the problem, it's not showing up in Device Manager. It's not being recognized by Windows at all.

I know how to power it down. I read somewhere else on the forums where someone had a similar issue and they resolved it by letting the battery drain completely.

Many people who have changed permissions are unable to use any functions of kindle fire utility regardless of using the correct drivers provided by the download.

Is there any workaround coming?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
if you mess up your permissions your lost anyway.

i hope the people are reading a bit and know what they do, when they edit any permissons.

the site you are refering to is for a special case/edit and has nothing to do with a correct driver installation, which is nessecary that your kf is responding correctly in every bootstate. like i said before: if you messed up your permissions your lost anyway
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
if you have rbfb in /system/ and didnt touch its permissions, its probably savable.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
it is listed in device manager - i think it's a driver issue

I've been trying to get my Kindle out of the boot screen, so I thought updating the drivers and utility would help, but I guess if your computer can't see your kindle, than you can't update the drivers.

Problem reading files on sdcard

A bit confused. Install ICS using TWRP installed by Kindle Fire Utility without problems, played with it for awhile. Decided to checked files, Windows XP recognizes the drive but I cannot open, I attached my wife's stock Kindle Fire and have no problems opening the removable drive and reading files. Drivers check OK on both instances under hardware devices. I moved files to install ICS the same way, the removable drive in my case E:, under MY Computer and drag .zip files there.

First of all, great work! It has worked perfectly for me so far.:)

I have a suggestion for a new feature. Would you be able to automate the install of intersectRaven's Kernel?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
give it a try:

in device manager try to update the driver and select the driver manually

composite adb device - if you have more than one check date/time or try them
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Alcnaeon:
Tried doing that; If I restart the kindle, it comes up as Composite ADB interface, but adb still gives me Device Not Found, and if I un/replug it, it shows up as Unknown Device with a Code 43 error til I restart the device again, and start the cycle over again.

EDIT: I should mention, attempting to Update the Driver Software for this Code 43, my computer doesn't give me the option to choose the Composite ADB Interface again. The list says just "Unknown Device", and when I uncheck "Show Compatible Hardware", Google, Inc isn't an option in the list of manufacturers.

KF stuck at the splash screen

Hi,

I used TWRP but it frozed so I disconnected KF and my troubles started.

Tried to connect KF via ADB, but it says no devices attached.

I use latest drivers from Kindle Fire Utility.

Interesting is that when I turn Kindle off and let it load, driver show all ok, no errors (with the KFU drivers, but not connectable by ADB...), but when I unplug and plug back the cable, the device shows up as unknown and when I try to use the same drivers, it says they are wrong (i tried original Amazon or Samsung alternative too), so it seems to me there is some problem still with the drivers. (I also used another comp and cleaned all old drivers etc. so it is not in that...)

And without ADB I can not move on...

So guys can some1 help? (hope I explained all clear...)

THX.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Alcnaeon:
Sounds like we're having similar issues. Hopefully someone can help.

Now that you mention it, I did try to install TWRP, but my desktop (Not the compy I'm trying to fix all this from) has been having USB issues, and it disconnected my KF mid-process. The kindle booted fine, though, and this is when I tried to install Gapps. It was here that I started having issues.

Do I need to manually run the install_drivers.bat, or does it run automatically when I run run.bat?

Also, do I need to temporary root before I permanently root? I am pretty sure I do not as it states that it automatically gains root for processes, but I just wanted to make sure.

When I download the update.zip, do I put it on the SD card and update using TWRP recovery?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Alcnaeon:
Nothing.

The issue seems to be related to the fact that when it's starting, the kindle connects correctly, but something happens that causes it to report a Code 43 error.
