thanks, my new job requires almost 50 hours a week but at least its mon-fri. when I get off I'm a zombie lol. all I find myself having time for is grabbing my n7 and reading what youve all been up to, then sleeping to prepare for the next day. the pay is great tho!

thanks for testing it also, glad it works as should. and no groupies in my book, were all a team and work together. android is a collaborative effort, and it keeps things going :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dja2k:
I rooted and installed recovery using Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6, but I have a problem where reboot goes into recovery automatically and well anything defaults to recovery boot instead of system. Can I reflash TWRP and FFF with this and see if it corrects the redirect problem?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] soupmagnet:
Why don't you use FFF to reset your bootmode?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
^

That or flash Cannibal Open Touch (it still has binaries to reset the idme bootmode for older versions of FFF).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Can this be used to flash the dual boot version of FFF? If so can someone please guide me on how trio do that?

So many thanks

Can I pt in a feature request to smir?

sent from a kindle fire on cm 9
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
The addition of FFFe has been discussed previously but it was left out do to the fact that the FFFe configuration requires fastboot to setup the partitions anyway.

Simply put; if you can't use fastboot to install FFFe than you don't need to be using it in the first place.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kinfauns:
I don't believe that's what he said at all. He fully qualified his statement with, " if you can't use fastboot..." which to me says you'd better know how to use fastboot if you plan to dual boot your Kindle Fire. Anyone even contemplating the use of FFFe really needs to have a much fuller understanding of how the KF works and the tools involved to manipulate it than the average user. I'm sure SBlood86 was concerned because your posts and desire to find a shortcut to installing FFFe runs contrary to that. It seems like a fair warning to me.

There's no need to be offended and this is entirely the wrong thread to be having this discussion. Let's all just move on.

smirkit with COTR 2.1

Spoke w/ smirkis and since he doesn't have a KF any longer, I figured I'd post a little update of smirkit with the new 2.1 version of COTR. If you haven't tried COTR yet, give it a shot as there are some pretty cool new features, including themes. Here's a link to Sblood86's COTR thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34928717&postcount=1

This smirkit is the same version 2.1 that smirkis originally released a few months ago, with TWRP 2.2.2.1 and current FFF1.4a bootloader. The only difference is the new COTR version 2.1.

Please don't bother smirkis with support questions, this is easy to use & he doesn't have a KF anymore. Just follow the instructions in the OP and you shouldn't have any problems. I guess if you're really stuck, you can post in this thread & someone will probably help. If it's a specific COTR question, post in Sblood86's thread.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
you're awesome Mike. I apologize i can no longer officially support this as i do not have this device any more, but i seem to have left you in good hands. i'll copy the download link to the OP if you don't mind Mike for others to find it easier incase more people start posting in here again.

if you utilize this, give webdroidmt some thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
My pleasure smirkis, my cut & paste skills are at your command. :D I'll try to keep it updated with new versions of recovery & bootloader as soon as I feel that they are functioning properly. I thank you for all the stuff you contributed here until you defected to the N7. Just kidding! :laugh:

Don't know if you know it but when I first got a KF, the first rooted rom I used was your CM7 build. Still have a nandroid stored on my PC...but it will be gathering much dust. :D

Hashcode's 4.2.1 AOSP rom

If you're using Hashcode's new 4.2 rom, you'll find that smirkit will not work but there is an easy workaround. It turns out that busybox/symlink applets are not in the xbin folder of the rom, so you'll have to install busybox.

The app is free in Play Store and the one that I used and can confirm that it works properly is Stericson.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInN0ZXJpY3Nvbi5idXN5Ym94Il0.

When you do the install, just slide the main page to the right and make sure that replace all symlinks (applets) is checked. Just hit install and you're done, you should end up with busybox v 1.20.2. This will probably also be beneficial for other apps that rely on root.

All credit goes to Thepooch for researching this. Thanks pooch!

smirkit updates

Since the newest TWRP 2.3.3.1 seems to be working properly, I've updated smirkit to version 2.2. It includes COTR 2.1, TWRP 2.3.3.1, FFF 1.4a bootloader, stock bootloader and the stock recovery. You need 4 things to use this utility:

1. The ability to boot into an OS (rom).

2. The ability to flash the smirkit zipfile.

3. Be rooted and have busybox installed.

4. Have Android Terminal Emulator App.

See smirkis' OP for the simple install/usage instructions. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22608974&postcount=1 Disregard any reference to goo manager at this time, as this version (2.2) of smirkit is not on Goo. Currently 2.2 is only available here, as well as 2.3:

smirkit 2.2 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/98505171/smirkit-v2.2-TWRP2.3_COTR2.1.zip

smirkit 2.3 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/98505171/smirkit-v2.3-TWRP2.4_COTR2.1.zip

NOTE: If you are using Hashcode's pure AOSP 4.2.1 rom, it does not have busybox. See here for additional instructions. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35407052&postcount=328

As I've posted before, this utility is super easy to use and it works. If you are having issues with COTR, TWRP, or FFF 1.4a, post them in their proper threads for support.

EDIT: I have added smirkit 2.3, it includes the latest TWRP 2.4.0.0, there are no other changes. Smirkit has been tested and is installing TWRP 2.4 correctly but I have not tested any TWRP functions. So, you can flash now, or wait for some user feedback on the new TWRP. :)

As always, thanks to smirkis for making this utility.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] CoolBone:
Wow, thank you! I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure why none of my fastboot commands work, or why I can't seem to get adb on windows to work.

I was stuck on 2.2.2.1 and need to update and Smirkit 2.3 did just that. Now on TWRP 2.4.0.0 and flashing a new rom! Bravo!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Smirkit updated to 2.4 w/ TWRP 2.4.1

TWRP has just been updated to 2.4.1, here is a new smirkit v2.4 that contains this latest TWRP release. For those already familiar with smirkit, the instructions for install & usage are the same, if you're not sure, check the OP of this thread.

As always, I have tested the installation, MD5 checksum matches and TWRP installs correctly.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/98505171/smirkit-v2.4-TWRP2.4.1_COTR2.1.zip

[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
uh oh lol.

anyone else up for the challange of updating this and testing it before i add it to the OP when necessary? sorry to see you go webdroid, what did you end up getting?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Well, I still have my Touchpad for the 10" stuff like movies & games and I picked up a Sammy Gtab 2 7" for everything else, really cheap. It's got JB 4.1 on it and some of the stuff I was missing on the KF, like cameras, mic and micro SD card. I also like some of the Samsung apps, as well as Touchwiz. Actually feels good to have a rom where basically everythings works.:laugh:

I've been running it for about a week now on rooted stock and it feels pretty nice. The only thing I did besides rooting it, was throw a custom kernel on it to oc the CPU/GPU and dump some of the Sammy bloat I didn't need..I was also able to finally d/l Hulu Plus from Play Store, instead of sideloading it. :D

Hopefully, someone will pick up smirkit updating for those next TWRP or COTR releases.

See ya' around,

if you want to wait, sblood has included the source in the new tree, so I'm gonna compile cwm and include it in the zip so you wont have to download doomlords version. should make this process even easier. everything in 1 download!

but to answer your question, you need to download my zip, extract the gscript folder to your sdcard and install the apk, load the scripts, download doomlords recovery and put it in the gscript folder, than run it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] ddgarcia05:

I was wondering if you have the time, if you could do a video with detailed instructions on how to install the CWMtouch recovery for the KF. I'm so noobish that I'm afraid I'll brick my device permanantly. I was reading through your instructions in the OP and I'm not sure I fully get the picture :o. Bricked once over the weekend doing something and it took me like 2 hrs to figure out how to unbrick. Thanks in advance for your help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paranoid android85:
if you already rooted your kindle, I'm sure you can follow those instructions. I don't think you can brick with this app. You just have to download the cwm recovery img file and put it in the gscript folder with the other files
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
I actually updated the zip in the op so everything's included now.

you just need to download the zip and extract the gscript folder to your sdcard so its at /sdcard/gscript

install gscript

open the app. delete the 3 listed scripts by clicking and holding n deleting each one

now, press menu than add script. than load n select a script. save

do it for each script. that's it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
K cool Thx. Gonna try it.

Update: success!!!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
Just to be sure, will this version of CWM work like TWRP at installing custom ROMs, doing backups, etc.?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
yes. works identical, but has an added reboot to fastboot option and has the fixed reboot system option, which is technically broken in twrp
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
Nice! Thx for your help brother!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
no problem. OP updated again, i added a horrible blurry video to help walk people thru the install process lol. its hard to see some of the selections but it should help
[Kindle Fire Android Development] LoGiK915:
it's goooood!

Thanks a lot for this. Super easy install. Was using twrp and have been wanting to try cwm but not very comfortable with adb. Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
Thx for the video! So with the CWM recovery as the default on my KF, are all the ROMs in the dev section compatible with it or just twrp?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
All Roms are and should continue to be compatible. Twrp was built off the source of cwm if I'm not mistaken.

I had a few requests for the video over time so I finally did it lol. No problem, just trying to help
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
Is the CWM beta2 gonna have the same install instructions like beta1 using gscript or will it be different?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
The only difference in installing them is the name of the image; I haven't used Smirkis' scripts but if you have any errors you can rename the image to match whatever the old one was named.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
ill update this as new stuff comes out. u can always fastboot flash if you want.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] xolanir:
I'll wait for your update. Not too comfortable with fastboot yet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paranoid android85:
in order to flash the new cwm recovery, can i just delete then replace the img file for the new .img file?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
make sure you name it identical or you might get errors.

or, wait til I get dooms approval and ill update the download to include it

I can't get the included gscriptlite.apk to install, "there is a problem parcing the package", I had to get it from the Market.

Edit: Once I have the CWR script loaded up and saved when I press install it does nothing, the only thing that comes up is this: I tried the process (which is simple) a few times and I get the same result each time.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
It works great
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
Hmm that's weird. Worked for him^

And just to make sure I deleted everything. Redownloaded from hotfile, installed the included apk, loaded included scripts and everything installed fine.

Did you make sure everything's in /sdcard/gscript not sdcard/gscript/gscript?

And it should ask for root when you run your first script.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] harry_fine:
Could you clarify the install please.

Do you mean to put the contents (the individual files) of the gscript folder on the root of your sdcard. If you are putting the whole folder, why would you first have extracted it?

I don't see a gscript-lite.apk. I see a nl.rogro.GScriptLite-1.apk. Is that what you mean?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
Move the whole folder to the sdcard and yes, it is the nl.rogro.GScriptLite.apk.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

I got everything working, the problem has something to do with unzipping the folder on a computer and then moving the gscript folder to the sdcard. Everything works fine if you move the zip file to the sdcard and then unzip it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
rootexplorer calls unzipping extract. so unzip it, and copy the folder to /sdcard
[Kindle Fire Android Development] chairshot215:
Never mind, could not have been easier. Was very simple, you rock. Am digging the new FFF by the way.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
Lol. My video was a crapshoot. You only need to install what you need once. If you have fff, skip that part.

After you load the script, it'll be in the main list of scripts. You still have to tap the script to install it. Go thru it, you will see what I mean as you do it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BluesHawk:
Great job as usual, very easy way to install the new FFF bootloader. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gbarayah:
I'm having a similar problem.

I rooted my KF using KFU and Burrito Root tool.

I installed the gscript lite and saved the scripts but when I try to run them, nothing happens. I don't get a prompt to allow SU access either. I tried changing SU to allow all and still nothing...

Other than root, I am completely stock, version 6.2.2.

Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dieandromeda:
make sure u create a folder named "gscript" in the sd-card directory
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
search for su in market n make sure the app is up to date, also try updating the binaries in SU app. ill flash the stock rom later n redo everything to make sure it works on a stock OS.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] airmaxx23:
If you unzip the folder on a computer and then moved the gscript folder to your Kindle it will not work properly for some reason. Move the .zip to your Kindle then unzip it there and you shouldn't have a problem.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gbarayah:
Looks like I have some kind of issue with SU as when I try to update the binaries I get an error, "Failed to find currently installed su binary. Update cannot continue"

I tried this as well but didn't work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
Open terminal emulator, and type in SU and hit enter. If u don't get # you are not properly rooted.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gbarayah:
Thanks for the help. Not sure what happened during the process but root didn't seem to take properly. I did a factory reset, and rooted using a different method via my Mac and it seems to be working now. Was able to get firefirefire and CWM installed.
