[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euryon:
1) Yes I checked search results.

2) Yes I've googled.

3) Yes I've tried the Kindle Fire Utility, the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356257... links options.

With that being said, here's my issue;

Got a KF a couple days ago...

Yesterday, followed some online instructions to put GO Launcher EX on there to replace the carousel deal.

Followed instructions to the T.

Restarted. Got to "Choose your OS" screen (or whatever it precisely says...)

Picked GO... then it froze.

Now, when it restarts (yes, its the 30 second hard restart), it gets stuck on the Kindle Fire splash screen.

I have tried the above utilities.

I have hard restarted.

I have fully charged and ran the battery dry and tried again.

When I use the utilities, the problem is, my PC will not recognize the Kindle (it see's it as a removable storage device, but it doesn't click over to 'Kindle', and thus the utilities can't interact with the device itself, I suppose).

I've tried different USB ports and connecters (I have 2 regular kindles in the house, too). But I know all the peripherals work through cross-testing.

Essentially, what else can I do? (I got it from WalMart, and they're currently out of stock, so I can't return it till next week, but I'd like it fixed before then if possible)

I've tried several different methods from these forums too, but I *always* hit the same snag... whenever any utility is 'waiting for device', it simply will not find it, because the PC doesn't see it properly. It sees *something* (removable storage) but not as a kindle, and thus won't allow the utilities to interface with it.

Are there any physical things I can do to hard reset it without destroying any warrantys?

Any help appreciated!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b63:
there is no need to return it

from what you say i think you have a bad launcher on it and the kf tries to start it but can't

first i need to know if you have fff (custom bootloader - yellow triangle) on it ?

then do you have a recovery (twrp) on it ?

what os/bit of computer ?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awidawad:
In kindle utility go to bootmodes and enter normal (4000). Just had that problem last night.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euryon:
awidawad - I've tried that. It stays on 'waiting for device' forever. Please explain step by step what you did? At which point did you power on the KF, when did you run KFU, etc, etc.

b63 - I hope your right!

no - I do not have the yellow triangle.

no - I do not have TWRP on it, i have tried, but cannot get anything onto the kindle.

my PC is window7, 64bit
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awidawad:
Do you have all the kf drivers installed on your computer? I know that when I unbricked mine I had all the drivers installed but I had to reinstall them for some reason. If you do not have them I can post them later on tonight when I'm at home. However, I have TWRP installed on mine, and Cyanogenmod 7.2, so hopefully yours is able to connect to your computer.

In order to remove the bad launcher, you need to have your device connected to your computer to remove it using adb.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euryon:
ok so b63 helped me out big time here....

about 2 hours ago we got on a teamviewer session (download this if you want these guys to help you with serious issues!)

took me a minute to figure out how to allow him/her proper access to my screen

anyway

i don't understand the technical stuff

but

what i had done wrong is that i didnt root the KF before trying to install the GO... software (i think)

b63 had a heck of a time trying to discern the problem with me being about as useful as a dead fish, but get there he/she did

after much fanangaling, b63 managed to install the TWRP and ADP on my KF, allowing it to fastboot, and basically allowing it to be read by my PC, and so fixed.

im sure it would have taken b63 all of 5 minutes in real time, but using the quirky teamview and my slow net speed didn't help

still, thanks VERY MUCH to b63 for fixing the **** out of my KF, and being very helpful and patient all along!

thanks
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetman13:
Just wanted to drop b63 a note here that I "thanks"ed their post above - not necessarily for the post but for going above and beyond. The people on these forums are (for the most part) really great. (Too bad there have to be a few who are demanding of the developers to get this feature or that fix done faster without taking into account that the devs do this all in their free time.)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKataklyzm:
YES, search finally led me here!

Euryon, I have the exact same thing happening with my KF right now.

Do you remember any specifics of how b63 carried out the steps you listed?

b63, any chance you could help me with mine? My issue is identical with Euryon's down to the letter.

Could someone please help me i have the same problem
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rollno88:
same problem here! please can someone give a step by step? My fire is unrooted and I did nothing to it except try to install the go launcher and after I selected it as the default launcher it got stuck at the kindke fire logo.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rollno88:
I tried the Kindle unbricking utility but it cannot find the device even after I installed the adb composite interface
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rollno88:
also, my fire is not showing up as a kindle - it is showing up as an android device.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krunk_Kracker:
Have you added the fires usb ID to your system?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rollno88:
thanks for replying, and I have no clue how to do that. I'll search and get back .

---------- Post added at 10:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 AM ----------

okay, I already did that by editing the android sdk(as a prerequisite to rooting, which I planned to do eventually) - so when I connect my fire it first shows up as a kindle, and after updating the software through windows and installing drivers through KFU, it comes up as an android device and the interface is adb composite. Now if I try to install TWRP through KFU it keeps switching between adb composite interface and plain adb. And both KFU and KUFU keep waiting but are unable to find my device.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rollno88:
also, my fire alternately shows up as a usb composite device and an android device. PLEASE help
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rollno88:
okay I solved it with KFU (finally!) although I have no clue how I did it as I didn'tdo anything I hadn't tried earlier:eek: so, managed to install TWRP and then wiped everything and finally my fire could be read - then I deleted go launcher and now my fire is back from the grave:D

A big thank you to all the helpful posts at this forum - u guys are the best:cool:
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeissbickham:
Same issue

Tried rooting my KF, but couldn't change permissions and thus could not install android market. Superuser didn't do anything other than show me a log folder that had no logs. Tried to change permissions on /system and /apps with one of the file management apps on amazon and it said the device *wasn't* rooted, despite GO launcher and android interface.

Did a factory wipe to try to reroot or fully(?) root the KF, and that's when it all went wrong. Got stuck on boot loop, but KFU helped me break out of that. Now it's stuck on the Kindle Fire splash screen with no animation. I read somewhere that this was the fastboot getting "stuck."

At any rate, i have TWRP 2.0 installed and can mount and unmount the device in its interface, but it is only recognized as ADB android device, or when mounted via TWRP, USB composite device. As such, ADB commands only work occasionally - all other times it simply says <waiting for device>.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and 6.3 on the KF. All restarts on the KF are hard restarts, except occasionally cmd lets me fastboot reboot.

I have spent the past 2 days trying everything I have found online (2 KF unbrick applets, 15+ tabbed browsers with different threads) to no avail. I am finally posting, pleading for assistance.

Thanks in advance for any (helpful) replies. Real thanks clicking afterwards.

edit: when rerunning KFU, i kept getting the message that many execs failed because "/system/bin/sh" directory does not exist.

I don't know if that helps narrow down what might be happening, but I saw that coming up a lot in the cmd prompt.

with an emphasis on post #2. You need to know what mode your device is in by looking at the device manager and make sure your drivers are loading correctly for that mode. If you can get to TWRP, you can mount your USB mass storage device, copy a new zip file of either the stock software or a custom ROM and flash it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeissbickham:
Thank you. I will be trying this shortly.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeissbickham:
fully bricked

I followed the guide and got to a point where the Kindle Fire animation was playing. It loaded up to the unlock screen and then automatically shut itself down - would not stay on when either connected or disconnected. Tried installing a ROM but still shut down. Started the recovery and hit factory reset, still auto shutdown. Tried clearing a partition as described in the tutorial and now it's fully bricked. Will not turn on when connected to computer, to outlet, to another cable.

Thanks for trying to help.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] anigwei:
Hi!

I've just installed arzakem's Android to my HTC Touch Find (2.6.25 kernel + casacristo's RLS18 ROM)

It works pretty fine.

But anybody is able to use the FM receiver? I've discovered this app: Spirit FM Free (Search at Market). It has lots of options, chipsets, etc.

If I put a frequency of a local broadcaster, the signal meter gets higher!! And if I move the earphone cable (antenna), the signal meter "moves".

So I understand that this app is able to make work the FM receiver. BUT... does'nt sound anything.

Any idea?

Thanks!

the device will ship with Intel's new mobile Medfield chip. The Atom-based system-on-a-chip could be Intel's best mobile component yet, and the chipmaker has its sights set on ARM. Reviews site Anandtech last month showed off benchmarks, detailing how Medfield performs far better in browser performance and speed--among other metrics--than those chips found in Apple's iPhone 4S, the Motorola Droid Razr, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

I hope the Samsung SG3 works better as a phone then the Captivate, the Atrix by far as been a much better experience than the Captivate, the gps never worked properly and was not functional at all for months the phone as was just average in quality the HTC phones I have had worked rather well for both GPS and call quality. I may try HTC again, maybe the Samsung but I wont be an early adopter.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knopper84:
Hi,

does anyone know where i can get a Full Package of the Original Honeycomb Motorola Stock Apps? Just have a Xoom from a friend here, Flashed ICS from Team Eos, and now he anxious want's the Original Motorola Apps again.

Especially he Stock Filemanager.

Can i download them from anywhere? Or have i to flash back to HC, and backup the apps? If yes, does it work with Titaniumbackup?

So that i can get the clean install-apk's, not the orginial which are integrated into the system?

thanks in advance :D:D
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logger:
Cant help you sorry. But would also like the default File Manager back for posterity. Apparently it is only the non US model that actually cam with the file manager in Honeycomb 3.2 update. US versions never had it and everyone will tell you to download a file manager from the market!! But the stock one was very simple and intuitive so I like it and want it back too.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matheusferreira:
Hey guys!

I managed to get the file manager that came in the Honeycomb stock motorola, ROM, but I can not install!

I've tried putting the file directly in the "app", I changed the permissions for all possible combinations, and nothing... I've been researching and I think the problem is that such "android manifest" it determines the sdk to target 11 and the ICS is 15 .. but can not edit the xml. I'll leave the apk here, if someone can help: http ://dl. dropbox. com/u/28574144/FileManager. apk
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStickMan:
I liked it too, because it was simple. But I then realised it was not tablet optimised, so much slower to navigate.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1ch4el:
miss stock apps too :(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meteor Bear:
Not sure if anyone would be still interested in this but I got the stock File Manager back!

I've "reseted" my xoom back to 3.0.1 version. The File Manager apk provided wouldn't work but after an update to 3.1 version that nice stock File Manager apk just showed up automatically. No need for apk installation or anything.

Anyway thanks buddy for providing this link!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skoogusmaximus:
So I've been having some random reboot problems that surface every once in a while. They happened when I was on stock and now when i'm rooted running Gummy. The only way that I can consistently predict the reboot happens when im using Navigation. About 3-5 minutes after my location has been found, the phone will restart. It doesn't get that hot, or seem laggy.

Anyone else having this issue? This is happening with various kernels, governors, and voltage settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aznxk3vi17:
GSM? CDMA? Refurbished? New? Since when? Have you tried exchanging it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skoogusmaximus:
CDMA, new, bought off wirefly so I don't feeling like dealing with replacements since I'd have to wait for it. The GPS problem has been around for a while, but is more prevalent now. Once it does restart though, it works fine and doesn't restart again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cHarOn99:
what navigation software are you using.

I had this kind of issues with copilot, i switched now to Sygic and have no issues anymore. What I found out is that in my case it seems to happen more frequent when i have Bluetooth enabled.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Doc_cheilvenerdi.org:
Who did it? ...It's me!

Yes you can! :D

Starting from the Original Thread you can read how I did it for my Galaxy mini! (Full read of all the thread is highly recommended).

That's exactly what I did: The modded boot image, on startup, mounts /data (the internal memory) on SDcard 2nd partition (if there is one, of course)...

...if your second partition (EXT4 formatted due to safety reasons) is 1Gb wide... your internal memory will be 1Gb wide...

That's all! :cool:

After that I received many requests for Galaxy FIT and Galaxy ACE via PM...

Actually these three phones get the same kernel (really the same deep inside!) but few drivers not related to boot process...

I was easy able to repeat the tweak for Galaxy FIT, testing the modded images on my Mini loosing only the two physical button control but booting fine :) ...

And I repeated the tweak for Galaxy ACE too! read here... (mini tweak, FIT tweak and ACE tweak are pretty the same... no "one byte" of difference!)

But due to different screen resolution I cannot test it on my own... (Mini bootloader doesn't handle rle images different from 240x320, hanging...)

The images, actually modded, should work fine (99% sure) but, if there is somebody "adb shell aware" or "terminal emulator aware" I can show three simple "console commands" to check for it 100% without need to flash anything...

After that... Let's Mod whatever you want :rolleyes:!

You can only edit if you're s-off. Are you?

If not, edit in Rom zip and flash
[Desire General] StylishPirat:
Another thing is if you are s-off you must mount /system path for read and write (r/w) instead read only (r/o).
[Desire General] sj_ami:
Not necessarily true these days, if you use the official htcdev unlock bootloader tool you will be able to access the System partition even though S-OFF will still be on.

AlphaRev and Revolutionary still mark the flag as S-OFF

As far as I can tell there isn't much different between the 2 other than S-OFF still protects the SIM-Lock and Radio.

I personally think we should all pretend that the HTC bootloader "unlocker" does NOT exist. We should never mention it in threads and never discuss it in front of noobs. Causes more problems than it solves imo
