[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
The problem with kfu is that it runs all the commands for him... He really has no idea what is going on unless the script shows what is going on and even then....how would he know what to do if something goes wrong?

I don't have anything against kfu and I'm not saying people shouldn't use it. But why not learn how to do things manually? There is only so many commands. He has already took the time to download the sdk and even put adb in PATH
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
i agree fully ! - i'm also for doing things manually to have every step under control - what i meant is to use a command shell in the tools folder of kfu. there are all necessary commands (adb, fastboot, ...) and you don't need the quite big sdk only for 2 command executables. if you open the command shell in this folder or cd to it you also don't need any path variables.
[Kindle Fire General] mcimo88:
I'm certainly comfortable with manually issuing commands. My factory cable shipped out, so I should be getting it shortly. I have been looking over this fasboot wiki, and from what I can tell I will be able to flash a rom with fastboot, and without the need for adb, correct? Does the rom I am trying to flash have to be on the device beforehand, or can I simply flash a rom directly from my computer?
[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
This is the first device I've used fastboot on and so far I've only used it to boot/flash FFF bootloader, a few kernels, twrp and just a bit ago I flashed this clockwork mod recovery touch alpha. I haven't seen any full roms that you flash via fastboot and haven't used is option to install a update.zip (not even sure that option will work on the fire)
[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
Sorry if I'm not giving you specific's on what you should do. I'm mostly kinda holding out for a little more info/testing on cmw5 touchedition because I don't really care much for twrp for reasons like... It auto installs a old version of FFF when you run the installer. It also seems like your having issues with twrp.
[Kindle Fire General] mcimo88:
Well once I get get my cable, assuming fastboot does indeed work, I should at least be able to reinstall FFF and TWRP/CWM with it, right?
[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
The cable just keeps the device in fastboot mode and provides power so battery % does not matter. Provided you have fastboot on your computer (either by manually adding it to your sdk, updating the tools packages of the sdk or using something like kfu) you can use it now if you wanted. But only during the time FFF allows it. It is enuf time to use it and fastboot will wait for the device.

So in other words, you can download say cwm5-test13.img to your computer then in cmd, cd /to/whereverThe/cmw5-test13.img is and type "fastboot boot cmw5-test13.img" then press enter and it will say <waiting for device> then you could plug your kindle in, it would turn on and run the command when it gets to the FFF bootloader. The device should then reboot into the recovery. The "fastboot boot" command won't flash the img but just boot it. To flash a img you need more info in the command like where you want to flash it to.... "fastboot flash recovery cmw5.img" would be an example. Be careful tho! It would be very bad flashing the wrong stuff to the wrong partition!

Sometimes the fire will get stuck in fastboot mode where issuing the command "fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000" then "fastboot reboot" will fix that. Stuck in fastboot mode is where you can't get past the FFF bootloader.
[Kindle Fire General] mcimo88:
Well, now it seems that my computer won't recognize my Kindle at all, even for the brief second shown in the video, so I can't get fastboot to work. I'll just have to wait for my cable and hopefully that will force fastboot to work.

EDIT: I just tried on another computer and it recognized it for a second so it must be my laptop. I've got the	SDK installing, so when I get home I'll see what I can do.
[Kindle Fire General] ryantrax:
Try a programing cable

I made my own programing cable and was able to get out of my boot loop and finally load TWRP.
[Kindle Fire General] mcimo88:
My cable should be waiting for me at home, so I'll be sure to give an update when I get home.

UPDATE: Got my cable!!!! I have it plugged in right now, and it looks good so far! I'll update again if/when I get my Kindle back :-)
[Kindle Fire General] mcimo88:
I'm getting there! Please help.

OK, so I was able to flash the latest CWM Recovery Beta 2. I am also able to sustain fastboot. I am still unable to attain adb, because using the cable forces the device into fastboot.

Does anyone know of any roms that can be flashed directly in fastboot (meaning a .img file), without pushing the file first from adb?
[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
Did you go to clockwork? Adb should work there. Then you should be able to "adb push" a ROM to the sdcard and install it with cwm
[Kindle Fire General] mcimo88:
Nope, it doesn't work in CWM. I am also still unable to mount the device as USB from recovery.
[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
Try a factory reset then reboot and see if it will boot up
[Kindle Fire General] mcimo88:
EDIT: I was just reviewing the available fastboot commands, and I see that there is a command called update, which flashes an update.zip file. Anyone know what this will do?
[Kindle Fire General] mcimo88:
So, I tried flashing a rom using the update command in fastboot, but it gave me an error. At this point I think I might just have to return my Kindle and get a new one.

Does anyone know how to get the stock bootloader back, and get rid of FFF?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
here is exactly how to do it:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21687422&postcount=4
[Kindle Fire General] mcimo88:
This is how to get TWRP on the device. I'd like to get it off, and get the stock bootloader back. :-) Is there anywhere I can download the stock bootloader from?
[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
Download the latest update http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620 remove the .bin and put .zip in its place. Extract the u-boot.bin from the zip then fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin
[Kindle Fire General] mcimo88:
Thank you so much! Now at least I can send my kindle back. But before I do, I think I'll play around and see if I can get it working.
[Kindle Fire General] foxdog66:
Did you try resizing the partitions to give one more space than the other? Parted or something like that
[Kindle Fire General] mcimo88:
Nope. It was acting really sluggish all of the sudden, and when I tried to reboot it it died.
[Kindle Fire General] smirkis:
u should be able to fix any bricked device with a fastboot cable and firefirefire1.2

get into fastboot

fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin (fff1.2)

fastboot OEM format (sets stock partition tables)

fastboot flash recovery cwm.img

fastboot reboot

disconnect it and power down

stick a normal microusb cable in and boot into cwm

adb devices

if it ain't that, its a drivers issue.. no mounted USB and adb, but fastboot? backwards issue of the usual adb and no fastboot

So is there any good running equipment for the SGS2?

I was thinking of maybe an arm or leg attachement or maybe some kind of belt around the waist...?

I'm completely unfamiliar with what is out there but it should be something that is fixed so the phone won't bounce around whilst running fast...

Any suggestions? I've searched the forum but couldn't find any related threads...

This phone is not for jogging, at least thats my view... When I go running long distances (>15 km) I use a smaller/simple phone (with a prepaid card) which fits perfectly in a belt. It is only for emergencies..

Cost me about 30 euros and is much better than buying a armband. With my previous smaller android phone I used the Belkin armband which was always cutting into my arm when bending my arm.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] wi5hy:
Running with the i9100

I think its fine for running if you've got the right equipment, I use gps tracker with this armband, it fits well, but you do need fairly long upper arms to deal with it.

I'd say if you are 6ft or above and you will be fine with this on your arm, has reflective strip as well.

If you go to play and type in sports armband i9100 you should come up with the emartbuy soft velvet armband. (unable to post link as Im a new member)

gapps doesn't come with Google Maps. You need gapps to have the Market.

You need to add your account after flashing gapps. --> Settings --> Account & Sync --> Add Account.

Then you can download Maps in the Market.

[The Asus $249 quad-core tablet. Tegra 3]

I'll wait for this to hit. Too much of a sour taste in my mouth over the NT. This will DESTROY the NT sales. Now to post this on the BN site.

http://ces.cnet.com/2300-33378_1-10010865.html?tag=contentMain;mGalleryUL

The Transformer Prime TF700T will likely be the first tablet released to sport a 2.3-million-pixel, 1,920x1,200 screen. For those keeping count, that's more than twice the pixel count of any previous tablets, which top out at 1,280x800 (1.02 millions pixels).

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
i thought i read the march thru june time frame but i cannot find that reference anywhere.... soon(tm)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Ha ha, no.

This will not "destroy" Nook Tablet sales. The Asus may be big among tech types, but the NT wasn't made for tech types. It was made for moms and grandmas. The fact that it can be hacked means nothing to the target audience. The Asus won't cut into NT sales at all. Nook has way better name recognition and that's really all that matters to people considering something like the Nook. If they can't afford an ipad, they'll want a nook or a kindle, because that's the thing everyone has heard of. No one's ever going to go "hey wait, this model from a company I've barely heard of does more than the nook." They're going to go with the tab that has the most name recognition and publicity. It's the same reason people buy ipads when they could get tabs that do a lot more, for a lot less. Specs don't matter to the tablet layman. People like that just want what they've heard of and what everyone else has.

Again, for tech types, the Asus tab may blow the Nook out of the water. But most people considering the nook aren't tech types. As such, I'm guessing the Asus won't affect Nook sales even slightly.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
The bootloader on the Transformer prime was locked so i wouldnt put it past asus to lock the 7incher as well
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Don't forget Asus kicked ass among the non-techie crowd with netbooks. I'd argue that not only do they have better name recognition than the Nook, they have far better marketing and product distribution as well.

It's too early to tell for sure, but if any company could make a cheap tablet as successful as they made cheap netbooks, it's Asus.

Meanwhile, B&N strikes me as a company that can barely manage to sell anything even to people that wanted the Nook Tablet.

With Amazon the Kindle is a highly recognized brand, but the Nook is far less so from what I've seen. I find that when people see the NT, they tend to ask "Hey, is that that new Kindle?" When told it's a Nook, the most common reaction is "The what...?"

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hurrpancakes:
It does sound awfully tempting, but I'm going to hold onto my NT and, depending on how at Asus tablet does, sell my NT on Craigslist and upgrade.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fortunz:
A locked bootloader is less of a problem when you aren't locking normal features down in your own ROM. Leave my sideloading and USB host intact, and my need for hacks decreases dramatically. But for the record, they released an official unlocker tool on the prime at the cost of voiding your warranty, so you have options.

This is INCREDIBLY tempting. Has anyone returned their NT under the extended holiday return policy? Is it as simple as saying "I don't want it", because I'm really feeling buyer's remorse for the first time. There doesn't seem to be any upside to NT at all (other than that it is available today, not a quarter from now).

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
Yeah because little kids really need quad-core *tablets*...

I still can't believe people think tablets are real productivity devices. Not trying to single you out here, but a laptop is infinitely better for productivity. Tablets, at their core, are entertainment (movies, music, reading, internet, games) devices with the ability for extremely light information gathering.

The thing that alarms me the most is that people seem to forget that instead of using a lot of these gadgets for schoolwork, kids will most likely just use them for games. At least when I was in grade school we had Math Blaster and that reading adventure game.

/rant for no particular reason
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Well actually, he never said his kids were little. They could be teenagers, in which case I'd think a tablet would be right up their alley.

Also, what's wrong with owning a device that's not solely focused on productivity? Laptops are great but tablets are also really fun. And now that they're dropping in price, I can see why more parents would want to get them for their kids. Especially when you consider the fact that most kids probably want an ipad, which is super expensive AND unproductive. I can see $200 tabs being a nice alternative for parents who want to get their kids tablets without paying ipad prices.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
They are 7,7(bg twins) and 10

3 private schools in my area- one of which boys only- are currently switching to tablet only instead of books - BECAUSE- they weighed the books a senior in highschool needed...41lbs of books & the cost to parents was 975 dollars JUST FOR THE BOOKS.

one of my friends is an athletic director/health science teacher and he uses his tablet(an ipad) for every class. it hooks into his overhead projector/display, he takes attendance, has all his notes, classwork, Everything is on his ipad for his work, ALL the teachers for the school are using them.

the state of maine is in the process of switching over, burlington ma the schools are all switching over, several schools are phasing in tablets, with a few starting as young as kindergarten.

Well good for you for looking out for your kids (I still remember those days when I had to carry around rediculous amounts of books, and how reports have come out over the years about the adverse effects).

Maybe its just early stages of old man syndrome but its going to be a cold day in hell when I replace my real computer with something like a tablet. Kinda hard to do Solidworks, AutoCAD, Matlab, Vegas or Photoshop. And as for gaminh I'll stick to my 2500k, 8gb g skill, 560 to twin frozr ii rig w/ cherry mx blue siig mechanical keyboard and 518 mouse, I don't ever see tablets truly competing with home built rigs.

The only things I use my tablet for are watching movies and TV shows in bed (read: arrested development) and surfing the net on the couch.

As much as I see kids playing on their parents phones, I can't honestly say that having that kind of tech will be good in the classroom. I mean **** how distracted were we only with tamogachis and to 83 calculators.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
It is all in presentation to the kids, how it is presented on the tablet, if it is fun they learn better.

that said i am ALL for making all school books be available in electronic form. i'd rather have my kid lug around a 10" tablet to school than several heavy books.

all books that are printed now for schools are in electronic form already, they just have to tweak some and they could be sold now direct, for cheap money (of course they won't be cheap)
