I just flashed the Wet Dream ROM and am enjoying it greatly. Although I like the themes that the dev gives you, does anyone know if its possible for a novice modder to create their own theme for the ROM? I kinda want a minimalist theme, cause its sexy, ya know? ;)

Last night I got the forced 6.2.2 update that broke root. I was able to get root back using burritoroot2. But no matter what I tried I couldnt get twrp back. So I tried this CWM based recovery and it worked. I have it running now on my 6.2.2 rooted Fire. Just did a full back up. So far so good. Im just glad to have recovery again. Thanks for this.

Heres what Ive been able to do. Full backup, reboot to system, reboot to recovery, and mount usb storage.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
kinda offtopic but somewhat relevant

Ok, so I was over at friends for dinner and then I wanted to perform a backup in anticipation of tonights beta1 test and left the KF on the couch in recovery mode... and my friends kids got ahold of the KF........ :/

After dinner I found it in perpetual fastboot mode with the SDcard erased and no image in /system... which means they wiped both my SDCard and then my whole image!!! Luckily I had my laptop in my car so I simply restored my SDCard and fastbooted a backup back in.

I am not sure how they did it as theyre not even past the "See **** Jump Jane" reading level but they did it.

which means we need to be extra careful when the device is in recovery mode... I dont think they would have succeeded if it was my Vision left on the couch vs the Fire with touchscreen....

anyway - this prompts two ideas..

1. additional prompts at the Factory Reset option (do you reeally really really want to do this) and at the Format SDCard option.

EDIT - and this is how I flash recovery

Is source up anywhere, I would like to contribute.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
touch edition sources arent pushed yet...

we are still finalizing things...

but it will be released soon...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcase:
Ok, it's just silly for two seperate groups to be working on the same thing at the same time.

Is this based off gweedo's/koush's?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
base is CWM5.0.2.7 from koush/CM repo
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
Flashed beta1 and its much better than last... did everything on the menu and not one problem at all... except for getting sent to no mans land in key test... still cant find that trapdoor to get back. did backup restore flashed update.zip and emmcV3 and then flashed ICS played with full reboot menu liked how i can reboot into fastboot so i can flash a new recovery... but whatever.. good release... ready for next test.

now one suggestion and ill stop with suggestions after this... i liked it how CWM on the Vision would turn on when the device was off and charging... folks saw this as a bug but i saw it as feature and then that was patched up. Since Fire only has one button and i dont really like pushing that button to get to recovery (itll wear out faster) it would be killer if CWM could turn on when charging so when someones done charging and ready to turn oon device they can start right off in CWM. People can either just reboot system or start off with CWM utilities.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
we have been working on this for past two months and have released this recovery for various devices (SE Xperia X10, ARC, PLAY; HTC Flyer; Huawei Ideos X6; Samsung Galaxy SL i9003)...

FYI the base for this recovery is CWM (by koush/CM team) and i have personally added some modifications which can be found here: https://github.com/DooMLoRD/CWM-Recovery-Modded

most of the work, related to adding touch based navigation, has been done by my team-mate Napstar... the "touch" capability is from a small block of code from SteamMOD recovery by sztupy...

u can decide urself when u see the sources (sources will be released soon)...

further more if u dont understand/appreciate our work then u can leave this thread and stop talking crap like this...

another thing ur post is being reported to the MODS...

if ppl are not interested in our work i think we will stop this... there is no point wasting our time for a community who doesnt understand/appreciate what we are doing and anyways we dont have the device... we were purely doing this so that users from ur community can benefit... if there is so much hatred we will close this project...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gweedo767:
Hey guys, just wanted to chime in here. I looked over his source code and he didn't use any of my work from what I can see. Keep up the good work man, the Fire needs something other than TWRP ;)

I want to say thanks again. Please dont take one stupid comment from one person as reflecting the community. I myself have gotten pretty frustrated at people on this site. For every snobby, rude, know it all person on here there are many more that help and contribute to the overall community. So keep up the good work and ignore the haters.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] G1ForFun:
So because of one person you are now accusing the WHOLE community of being unappreciative? Dude....wake up. Look at all the appreciative people on this thread and in many others. The thanks button love is flowing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:

well... this is not the first time something like this is happening...

and i am a bit edgy today :p

anyways lets get back to testing...

Ok so to revert back to cm's stock boot.img after fastboot flashing a boot.img (a kernel) I would just reinstall cm 7. However, the zip fails to install now with this error...

-- Installing: /sdcard/Download/update-cm7.zip

Finding update package...

I:Update location: /sdcard/Download/update-cm7.zip

Opening update package...

Installing update...

script aborted: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "blaze" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "blaze" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "blaze"

E:Error in /sdcard/Download/update-cm7.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

result was NULL, message is: assert failed: install_zip("/sdcard/Download/update-cm7.zip")

I think this is a updated version of the zip so i don't think i have installed it before. I was able to reinstall over cm previously (but with a different zip)

Aside from that, I've made a total of 2 backups, flash a different ROM several times, wiped multiple times, restored several times... Heck, i even used ROM manager to backup, wipe, install ROM, install gapps, install titanium zip and install several of my own zip's all in one run :D

This recovery is awesome! Thanks DooMLoRD!!!

I wonder what kinda stuff you would make if you actually had the device :p

Edit, could ROM manager be telling the recovery that i have a different device (because I choose manual override and picked despite HD to bypass installing the recovery with ROM manager) causing the install error (because Maby the zip is checking that to prevent installing the wrong zip)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Evo_Shift:
I feel like an idiot but can someone tell me how to boot into fastboot mode or point me to a thread which will explain it to me so I know how to get into and out of fastboot mode in the future..

Or better yet is there a terminal emulator command I could use to flash the recovery?

Thanks.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] jsantiago.antonio:
Question, i saw on the OP there's a update.zip to test /system, /data & /cache partitions. I currently have issues with partitions on my SD card causing CWM or any recovery to fail, i have access to fastboot is it possible that the update.zip creates these partitions when trying to put the placeholder file? If not can it be edited by any chance to do so?

How do you boot to recovery with this from power off? Back when I owned a KF it showed a triangle that you could hit the power button during for recovery. I've tried several different key tricks, etc.

I have one and it's stuck showing the boot animation. I need to get back to recovery to fix it.

I read/glanced over 5+ pages of this thread.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
what color is your boot screen? does it say kindle fire? orange? blue? yellow triangle?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scottx .:
Normal kindle fire logo.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
Houston, were missing a bootloader.

u need to update it either within the os or with adb/fastboot. does it boot? if not and its hanging at boot screen/bootlooping u might need a factory cable to fix it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scottx .:
Of course it boots. There is nothing wrong except I need the key strokes to get into recovery.

I don't need help fixing it, its had aokp and cm9 on it for months.

WHAT ARE THE SHORTCUTS FOR RECOVERY FROM POWER OFF?

****...

Adb sees it but won't let me execute commands to it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Spyderekz:
Flash firefirefire on it again
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
ur not understanding. there is no shortcut u need a boot loader capable of accessing recovery. the stock orange logo is not capable. so update your boot loader.

chill out, people are trying to help u
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
listen to smirkis as he writes scripts to install bootloaders/ recoveries.etc

in other words "he knows his onions" and if he say's "you need a new bootloader" then I would take his advice and install twrp 2.1 then hit his thanks button :-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
edit above not twrp ;-) fff1.4a is what you need (sorry for the blonde moment)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scottx .:
Well I think that the KF utility could have done a better job. This kf is bricked basically. I wish it was like Samsung so I could Odin back to stock.

Someone know how I can fix this? Can't get to recovery and it sticks in the cm boot animation.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paranoid android85:
you try holding the power button until the light at the bottom turns orange?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] scottx .:
It just comes on, green and then powers off if I keep holding power.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
factory cable will fix it.

Ill rtfm on that. Thanks.

ATTENTION EVERYONE

This Recovery is OBSOLETE! It cannot flash anything CM9 or above! As much as I like CWM (more than any other recovery) and I wish it to see further development, this recovery should NOT be downloaded. I suggest you all get in touch with Koush and have him update it so it's officially on ROM Manager's list so we don't have to deal with this!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] putrabiru:

My rooted KF kept going into a boot loop trying to install 6.3.4

I know this is old, but you helped me and I'm paying it forward. I rooted my 1st gen KF many years ago because why not? Every so often Amazon release a new version of their OS that breaks root and I have to redo it. This time, their new release wouldn't install; I'd get an assert error that ro.product.device=blaze failed. Yeah, well I just used TWRP to delete the update from /cache and went on. But every time the Fire connected to wifi, it would download the same thing, try to boot and fail. I finally got motivated to try to fix it, and this post gave me the info I needed.

The file name is what I needed to know in order to fix this.

In default.prop, I added these two lines:

ro.product.name=blaze
ro.product.device=blaze

The next time the KF downloaded 6.3.4, it installed without a hitch. I'm using a fairly recent version of TWRP. Thank you!

:good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hmmm... not too sure why thats happening

lets try one thing...

when device boots into recovery connect it to PC via adb and execute the following command:

adb shell rm /res/keys

and then try to flash that update.zip again...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Will do in a bit, gotta run out for a bit. I also edited my last post with an idea. I'll report back when i get a chance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcase:
I obviously missed some deleted drama.

Just want to make it clear,

I sent the link to this thread to gweedo, i never ment to imply that this was using his work at all. It was a "hey look CWR with touch on the fire!" thing.

Twrp2 is nice and all, but the refresh rate/flicker kills my eyes, and the restrictions on the license are bothersome.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcase:
Its due to the asserts in the update script not matching the properties in your default.prop. I should of posted this last night, I ran into the same problems and fixed it. I feel asleep before I could.

Here is the default.prop that I used http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CQ638khn if you want to merge the changed, specific changes are

ro.product.model=Full Android on Blaze or SDP
ro.product.brand=generic
ro.product.name=blaze
ro.product.device=blaze
ro.product.board=omap4sdp
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=TI
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
ro.wifi.channels=
ro.board.platform=omap4
# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device
ro.build.product=blaze

Hah I contributed!

verbose

i am just being verbose..

the other night I got a messed up sdcard when I was getting ready to flash v7 and v13 of the alpha CWM files... Well, I finally set down to find out what the heck happened to that sdcard by looking over my backup of the card I made.... the picture should explain it all.

I know for a fact I did not use any file managers or move files with adb that evening... I made a backup... and I booted out of CWM back to find that I had effectively found myself with the files you see on the left... and I was wondering what happened to the rest of the 4.67GB.... well... turns out it got placed into XScope's file... all I can say is... I do not know how this happened. So I am reporting this just in case others see this down the road.

Its not easy to just move 4GB into a folder... no file manager can do it without at least a 4 minute wait... and I know no such thing happened.. could it be a phantom file move?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Thanks, noted for future reference...

Though i was under the impression that the 'getprop' in 'assert' code block checks the /system/build.prop
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Wht is XScope? Never heard of it before...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Gam3r 4 Life:
Just looked it up. Looks like its an android browser. https://market.android.com/details?id=sui.m&hl=en
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcase:
Default.prop is loaded into the property service first then build then local.

If one prop sets an ro property, the others can not change it
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
its not just u. I was also having that same install error attempting to install cm7 and miui zips. I wanna leave this on my device doomlord! almost there!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
in that case it would be best to remove all references to:

ro.product.model

ro.product.device

ro.product.board

ro.build.product

in default.prop so that it reads the correct ones from build.prop

on the X10, ARC, PLAY, SGS-SL we use a clean default.prop:

ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1

may be thats why we never ran into this issue :p

compiling new version and using a clean default.prop... lets see what happens :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcase:
no you will have a broken recovery then, recovery won't load from build prop if its not mounted at boot or if something is wrong with the rom.

You can't just trust what a roms build prop says.

Kernels can have a "clean" default, but your recovery needs a full one
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thanks!

this is a good learning experience :)

will make BETA2 with that modification in default.prop
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
v01-BETA2 released!

v01-BETA2 released!

[ changelog ]

fixed default.prop issue (thanks to jcase)

download links at first post!

please test out everything and let us know ur feedback!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
beta2 flashes roms perfectly! awesome.

im puttin this one on directly. thank you doomlord!

send this gentleman some donations! beer n chips, or a kindle fire lol (hint)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
I agree, I've made several backups, restored them, installed several roms, even used rom manager to automate the whole process. My only problem now is storage! It would be so awesome if we could backup /restore directly to a USB flash drive!

One thing I want to test still is installing something to /data (titanium backup let's you make a zip that will let you install it there and that wasn't working the last time I tried)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
well if the stock kernel (currently used in recovery) supports usb-otg storage module... then u can use/make an update.zip to insert/load module, then setup a mount point in /sdcard/ (say /sdcard/usbStorage/ ) mount the external usb storage to that mount point...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
that's a whole nother ball field lol. otg support thru kernal, which doomlord possibly could make if he had a kindle? (hint)

no issues so far!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Some devs were working on that right? I havent been following, what happened later on?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
one thing I'm pleased to announce, using cm7 u can safely use the reboot to recovery option, and not get stuck in recovery after using the reboot system option. takes the pressure off ur button for those who don't wanna push the power button to get into recovery option.

using rom manager, reboot to recovery doesn't work. don't know if it's rom manager or related to the recovery?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
rom manager's reboot into recovery option worked for me just now on cm7
[Kindle Fire Android Development] theholyfork:
So what do we need to do to convince you to open another thread to get you a Kindle Fire? :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
I tried it from cm9. ill try it from cm7 later. wonder what the difference would be doing it from different rom's?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
Beta2 is smoking. No issues. Solid.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Yeah kinda sucks rom manager won't set the boot mode to recovery at all on ICS
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
a workaround is to use a GScript script to set bootmode and then use ROM manager to reboot into recovery
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
You think rom manager will install a zip if I set the boot mode to recovery first?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes it should...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
any app writers wanna make a GUI to install this and firefirefire1.2 thru an apk ON the device? so people don't get stuck in fastboot or lost in driver issues? basically like rommanager would, but also installs firefirefire
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
awsome

doomlord we need to get you a kindle. you were close befor but just a little short.

im sure you could sort out a dam good kernel.

thanks for all your work.....
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcase:
Already done, next kindle root of mine installs recovery and firefirefire with one command. I just need a recovery I can redistribute. I am talking to doomlord about it.

Soon as he gives me an ok, or feels it is stable enough to release source, I will post one.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
You should also include a few basic things like installing zip from sdcard, wipe/backup/restore etc, like a stripped down ROM manager. Would be slick :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcase:
Bit outside the scope of my project, plus I have no intent to step on koush's toes
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DooMLoRD:
some APIs are not allowed to be used unless u have ROM Manager PRO installed
[Kindle Fire Android Development] foxdog66:
Koush probably wouldn't accept this as official would he? It would be sweet to have are own section of roms and kernels in ROM manager and not hafta trick it to get it to work
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
I asked koush with no answer.

thanks jcase, ur the man too!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcase:
Actually i think we can call the extended commands directly with your build, ill play with a front end later

*edit*

yep we can
