I was trying to change the keyboard and have converted KF to brick :(

The mistake that i done was that i had uploaded wrong settings.db and now KF its stuck at boot logo... i can see the animation and when i connect device to computer (Win) it makes 2x sounds (Beep-beep), the device its visible in "safely remove hardware..." and new "Removable media" its visible in My Computer, but its disabled.

I have already read&tried tons of possible things, like "Kindle Fire Utility", "fastboot ...", "adb ..."...

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356257&page=70

- ...

but with no luck :(

When i try to run commands adb or fastboot (with -i 0x1949) its just says "waiting for device" and nothing happens... not even if i reboot manually (~20s power button press) or disconnect&connect KF.

Is there still chance for my KF?

-----------------

EDIT: Solved by b63
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
there is always a chance - only a question of tools an effort ...

do you have fff (the yellow triangle) and twrp on the kf ?
[Kindle Fire General] agentgordon:
None... i was think of instaling TWRP, but first i wanted to change the keyboard :o
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
bad decision - now you have to get to fastboot somehow

to have all tools available i would recommend to download kfu (if you not allready have), extract it to c:\ and rename to "kfu" that it is c:\kfu

all needed commands are in the tools directory of kfu (c:\kfu\tools)

open a (elevated) command prompt and cd to c:\kfu\tools

issue "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000"

when it says <waiting for device> power off the kf by holding power button for ~20sec till it turns off

power on again

the command should be picked up and finished

power off/on again

the kf should stay at "kindle fire" static (fastboot)

check with "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product"

tell me if you'r gone so far ...
[Kindle Fire General] agentgordon:
no luck... boot animation is in loop and fastboot is waiting for device :mad:
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
ok - need to try an other method

what says your device manager under "android phone" ?

do you see "kindle" or "unknown device" ?

if yes you should update the driver

which drivers do you use ? kfu or sdk ?

when you say boot animation in loop means the "kindle fire" animated - right ?

or is it boot looping ? - then you will have to charge it for some hours with the wall charger
[Kindle Fire General] agentgordon:
container.mariborcan.net/datoteke/kfdm.jpg (can't add img link, because i'm new on forum ;) )

everything worked until now...

it's animated... then disapperes for second... then animates... disappears for second... and looping again and again...
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
sounds like the 3-5 sec bootloop -> out of battery

in this case -> wall charger and hard power off to allow charging

or are you absolutely shure it's fully loaded ?

what about the device manager ?
[Kindle Fire General] agentgordon:
i will try to charge it once more...

device manager says "Android Composite ADB interface" (container.mariborcan.net/datoteke/kfdm.jpg), "safely remove hardware" recognize device as "Kindle"
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
sounds good - any reaction on "adb devices" ?

have made a little batch file to test adb connection

please place it in the tools directory of kfu, rename from .txt to .bat and run it from the command line

it should check if you can reach adb commands - if yes then there is a chance to switch the kf to fastboot mode - this is necessary to install fff & twrp

the batch is waiting for device - means if the output don't change for some seconds please restart the kf and check if the commands are resumed

maybe copy and paste the output
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
would also check the adb_usb.ini in the .android folder in your personal directory

it should include 0x1949

if you get response to "adb devices" you can follow this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21803658&postcount=29
[Kindle Fire General] agentgordon:
usb driver are working ok...

i have rechanged KF and now i "adb devices" recognizes KF...

but if i run "fastboot devices" it doesnt show anything and it's still "waiting for devices" if i try to "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4002"
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
you'r missing point 2 of the description

first you need to switch to fastboot mode - then you can use the fastboot commands

a other option is to try to use kfu option 5 to install twrp - it should do it for you

btw. since fastboot commands only work in fastboot mode your above command wont make sense - see here:
[Kindle Fire General] lazarus2297:
My KF is stuck at the KF logo too.. windows sees adb device but when using the command "adb devices" nothing shows up. It did work when I was trying to install recovery then this happened.. I read about a "factory cable" which I am trying to make or get.. So am I correct in assuming that is my only real way of saving my device since adb won't connect?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
not necessarily - your device might be in fastboot mode - only fastboot commands are working

try "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and see if something returns

if you did with kfu just select option 1 - bootmode normal

or manually:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
[Kindle Fire General] lazarus2297:
wow THANKS where is the :doh: button... i used the KFU and option 1 and normal bootmode and it rebooted and came back.. you R the MAN!!

I can't believe i didn't do that last night with all the other stuff i tried..

I now have a fully working kindle fire AGAIN
[Kindle Fire General] agentgordon:
it wont work... :mad:

i have changed driver front and back "android composite adb interface/android adb interface", tryed everything and it just wont go :mad: i can't get it in fastboot...

b63 please read my PM...
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
allready replied ...
[Kindle Fire General] agentgordon:
b63 solved the problem :)

hey guys, I'm wondering where's the best place to get themes/skins for us non rooted folk on sense 3.0. I'm currently using an awesome looking glass theme but looking on these forums I've seen some really, really looking cool skins but because of my un rooted situation I can't use them. please remember, this thread's not about me rooting my phone, I'll save that for another thread, it's about you guys hopefully showing me what skins I can use on stock and can't seem to find. thanks for reading....

Do a search in the Market for Sense 3.0

I was able to find a lot available
[HTC Sensation] donwhann:
thanks, I'll have a look now....I've just recently come from hd2, which I was able to customize myself regarding the graphics, but I'm finding it hard on android at the moment...... thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] pFo-Mac:
If you're wanting to remain un-rooted, I'd recommend an alternate home launcher. A sizable list of available ones can be found here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1482929

This should greatly extend your ability to customize, without needing to root. Many roms will include one of these launchers by default, but the same functionality can be obtained without root.

If you need some good examples/tutorials of what can be done without root, check out http://www.blackbearblanc.dk

All of his work is done without root, on stock phones. Inspiring stuff. There's a lot of options out there for you, even without root.
[HTC Sensation] donwhann:
thank you...

Great help ^^^^^^^
[HTC Sensation] pFo-Mac:
No problem. Also, check out http://mycolorscreen.com/

Some of the customizations there have had root done, but a large portion of the looks can be had through market apps, without root.

I stayed away from root for a while, before finally deciding to go the root route. If there's any other help/recommendations I can provide, let me know.

Yeah, I would definitely make sure your account has enough money in it if it's a checking account.

I will report....

yes of course. I have all datas (i don´t "wipe data") Now i´ve a rooted .62 with all my datas. Only my own Background was after the update not on my homescreen, but thats no problem.

Bevore I delete now the bloatware, i make a "restore"-point with CWA. So, if in the future a new update come (OTA), i can install the "untouched" .62 and OTA should work without flashing with flashtool.

Hi

I have just switched from HTC HD2 to Xperia Arc S.

I know all there is to know about flashing the HD2 (WinMo and Android), but next to nothing (yet) about Xperia. I gather that .62 can't be rooted yet, so you'll have to downgrade, root and then upgrade back to .62 OTA. Does that mean that it will also be possible to upgrade to ICS (when that's ready) from a rooted .62_)?

[Xperia Arc General] voyager56:
For different regions different "junk" included in firmware. Also for different regions different update policy applies. For example for Germany fw version know it's available version 69. For other regions mainly version 62.

This method worked perfectly.

I am now on the latest firmware (OTA upgrade) and it is rooted.

PS if you uncheck wipe data (leave wipe cache ticked) then you don't lose any apps/ settings as you downgrade.

I believe you will be able debrand with wotanserver. Go to wotanserver homepage and register. Download WotanClient.exe.
