[Kindle Fire Android Development] arqbrulo:
Hey guys, after flashing to 1.3 from a previous version, I issued the "reboot" command and waited for a few minutes. The device never rebooted. I held the power button for 20 seconds to power it down. I then held the power button again to boot up, but nothing happens. The power button led does not turn on at all. The kindle's screen also remains completely off. adb and fastboot do not see the device at all. Can anybody please help me? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] three-p-o:
Firekit LiveUSB works wonders for situations like this. I ran into a similar issue with 1.3 when trying to upgrade to TWRP 2.1.1. Windows was not discovering the device quick enough for fastboot to install the new recovery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] arqbrulo:
I'll check it out. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kinfauns:
Did you verify the md5 checksum for u-boot.bin before you flashed it?

By any chance did you flash u-boot.zip (that's zip and not bin) into the bootloader partition?

If you did something like that, you do not have a working bootloader. Hopefully, the device is defaulting into USB download mode and you can temporarily load a bootloader into memory via USB using Firekit or something similar. Then you can actually flash a new bootloader into the partition. Otherwise, you're going to have to open the device up and using the shorting trick to put the device into USB download mode first.

I get the impression that you are trying to flash something during temporary fastboot. Just to be on the safe side, I wouldn't try to flash anything onto the device during the temporary fastboot countdown. I'm not exactly sure what would happen, but it's possible that the temporary fastboot could terminate while in the process of flashing. That would not be a good thing.

If you don't want to explicitly boot the device into fastboot mode, at least get it to terminate the countdown by first issuing some innocuous command like...

fastboot getvar product

this way you can be sure the device will remain in fastboot mode until you reboot it... giving you ample time to flash whatever you want without worrying about fastboot mode terminating too early.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] three-p-o:
Good idea, but not valid for the issue I had. Windows was not detecting the fire fast enough for fastboot to trigger. It would bypass fastboot entirely and get stuck at the kindle fire andy screen. So even

fastboot getvar product

would have done nothing.

Also, it had been explained to me that, once you do something in fastboot, it stays in fastboot until you tell it to reboot, or the command you run does it for you. For example

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

would tell it to boot from twrp-blaze, where as

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img

would tell it to flash to recovery after which it would sit there waiting indefinitely until some action shut it down or rebooted it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kinfauns:
I've never heard of anybody else have this issue with Windows being unable to detect the device within the time allotted for temporary fastboot countdown. I suspect this might be an issue specific to your system. You could also try issuing the fastboot command before restarting the device. The fastboot executable will wait for the device to get into fastboot mode and send the command as soon as it becomes available. Still, if you have an issue with this, I suggest you downgrade to version 1.2 which is essentially the same as 1.3 but has a longer countdown. In any case, this issue is irrelevant for the previous user because he's not even getting a boot logo, so he likely has a broken bootloader.

Yes, most commands will terminate the temporary fastboot countdown. Although "fastboot devices" is one notable exception to the rule. What I was commenting on was a timing issue where it's possible to send the device a fastboot command, but the temporary fastboot countdown reaches zero before the device has a chance to respond. In this case, temporary fastboot will terminate prematurely and the fastboot executable on your computer will report an error. I encountered this issue many times while experimenting with the countdown duration for the 1.3 build. I never tested this rigorously while trying to flash a partition, but this is obviously not a "good thing" if it happens during a flash and may cause an incomplete flash.

I'm not sure what the TWRP install has anything to do with anything... you could just as easily do the reverse and fastboot flash recovery twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img or fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-blaze-2.1.1.img. Both are perfectly valid fastboot commands.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] three-p-o:
My kindle was off, I ran the fast boot command I wanted and then plugged the kindle into the USB, and the fast boot never kicked off. It is rare for me but has happened to both my laptop and desktop machines when running windows 7. Once I'm this state only using the linux works for me.

The example commands had nothing to do with twrp but I was using them as examples. The one that said boot would boot from the img after running and exiting fastboot. Where the flash recovery one would flash the img to the recovery partition and wait.

Anyway, I'm done detailing the thread. I was attempting to help arq.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
you guys need to initiate fastboot first before rebooting. your PC should catch it always.

fastboot getvar product

waiting for devices...

(now reboot ur device)

when u reboot it will see it, run fastboot command, and wait there til you tell it what to do next.

the issue with the fastboot countdown, is no one knows how to use it lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] three-p-o:
The point is that I run the command and it sits at waiting for devices...

I then plug my kindle, which is off, into the USB cable. It turns on, and boots all the way into the rom or recovery, with fastboot never doing anything other than sitting there waiting for devices...

This only happens on my Windows machines. And yes I have the driver inf modified.

If I do the same thing in Linux it works.

Edit: I found out why I was having trouble. I had audio off on my computer, so I did not hear the driver install failure beeps.

The kindle reports to windows that the fastboot mode driver that got loaded for my stock rom is not the same as the one as the one for FFF. So, while fastboot will work for the stock rom, the FFF one was unknown, and it was not installing fast enough when quickly moving through fastboot state.

I had to get it stuck in fastboot state similar to the way to get it stuck for rooting. I then had enough time to load the driver.

Fastboot is now working on my Windows machine. I still like the LiveUSB I made as a fallback in case I break things too much, like when I ran dd if=/dev/zero on my mmcblk0.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
I was gonna mention drivers lol. glad you got it working
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
thanks i upgraded from twrp 2.0 fastboot flash and all went well.

thanks guys my kindle gets sooooooo much better day by day:-)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
what is liveusb?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] three-p-o:
In the case of what I was talking about here, its a Ubuntu Live CD image loaded onto a USB stick. If you follow the instructions in the link I provided, you can install firekit on it, turning it into a portable ADB/Fastboot environment that just works, and works from any machine as it will boot from the USB stick.

I needed it a few weeks back when I got my device stuck in omap4430 state. No utility I found for Windows would recover from that. There was no bootloader loaded that I could fastboot from at that time, no recovery partition I could load and install from. But I found the firekit liveusb setup and that saved my kindle.

Flashed Bootloader Kindle Fire HD 7" 3rd Gen (Soho)

Okay so I flashed my Kindle Fire HD 7 3rd Gen (Soho) with the supplied u-boot.bin in fastboot mode with a factory cable. Everything flashed fine & the bootloader was changed then I held the power off button because I don't know to get out of fastboot & then tried to power it back on & now it refuses to boot. What did I do wrong? I thought I followed directions perfectly since it said I could flash from stock bootloader.:confused:

From stock bootloader fastboot

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader u-boot.bin
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
This only for 1st Gen Fires, and other devices will not work, and likely hard brick the device.

2012 thread date should have be a clue, you have a 2013 device

How does this differ from Hashcode's 1.5 version?

Hashcode changes

[1.5] Better handling for lower power / charging screen

[1.4a] Reprioritized the different boot options so that regardless of idme bootmode, the options chosen from the menu would be used first.

[1.4] Support for a single boot directly to Recovery for applying ROM updates, etc via "Reboot Recovery" menu in Android. Works with any recovery that is installed. All existing ROM devs need to update their BoardConfig.mk to support this by adding the following:

TARGET_RECOVERY_PRE_COMMAND := "idme postmode 1;"

Your builds will need to also have a working "idme" binary and the "libidme.so" lib for the reboot recovery option to work.

Both of these are in the prebuilts of the device tree on github:

https://github.com/KFire-Android/and...-11.0/prebuilt

Fixed Charging Mode which will pause the boot process and let the device charge if the current capacity is under 3%. If you connect it to the stock charger, the boot can proceed.[/B]

Added a Boot Menu which is accessed by pressing the power button after a the initial splash screen is displayed. You then press the menu button again to navigate through each option. If you wait after an option is highlighted, it will automatically be selected after a few seconds.:

Normal: Standard boot into your installed ROM

Recovery: Boot to recovery

Reset Boot Mode: This is a normal bootup but resets "idme bootmode" to 4000 for those that are stuck and can't access idme for whatever reason.

bricked my fire kindle?

Hey,

my fire kindele (D014000) doesnt boot anymore after i did:

adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"

After reboot my screen showed red lettered "Fastboot" and a (on screen) green and a red light, the green light flashed like every second)

i was able to send fastboot commands like

fastboot devices

it told me something with "otter2"

i did a

fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin

that seemed to work and now i can't start the kindle anymore. I think i bricked it, 30 seconds pressing the start button doesnt do anything.

Did i flash a wrong bootloader?

Do i have any chances to revive it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
Yes otter 2 is a 2nd gen 2012 Fire

Unfortunately Amazon used D014000 for both models

I would like to know if the Seido 3500mah extra battery work for i9023?

In the http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-s/2230.htm seido website it shows all the USA carriers.

But I want the i9023 one for European ns.

There's this deal I saw in amazon.

So what are you thoughts? And will it work?

Thanks a lot guys!:)
[Nexus S Accessories] donnieace:
You can go ahead and try it if you'd like. It should work. I think the only difference between your European Nexus S is the SLCD screen.

The battery does come in handy. I left my review on Amazon for this purchase (I'm "Thisphuckinguy" on Amazon).

I also remember it being cheaper than what they are charging now.
[Nexus S Accessories] shockem:
Thanks for the info man. The one i have, i9023 is a little thicker then the amoled i9020. thats why i hesitated. Thinking of it i'd rather not waste my parents cash. :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] estxxas:
UPDATE: This worked well for a short time but now reverts back to the up sell page. My only guess is T-Mo caught on and shut us out; YMMV.

I searched the forum and didn't see this, although I may have missed it. Just wanted to share in case it hasn't been posted or for anyone that may not know.

[Disclaimer: I have no idea if this will inevitably result in a loss of service, so don't blame me if that happens! Proceed at your own risk.] ;)

I recently got a T-Mo prepaid SIM to use with my unlocked i777, as AT&T's coverage where I work is basically nonexistent. I had a rep set me up with the $15/month unlimited text plan which I quickly realized has no web access included (not even pay per MB lol). This was confirmed by opening the browser and being greeted by a T-Mo upsell page.

Okay, so... after some digging around and trying different APN settings, I found a workaround:

APN: wap.voicestream.com

Username: TMobile.com 0000000000 (use your phone # in place of 0000000000)

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

APN type: Internet+MMS

After saving and selecting the new APN, I now have data! Confirmed this by loading multiple pages in the browser. It may be slow, but it's still nice to have available for the times when you really need it! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
Cool trick, did you do any speed tests?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
it would be edge (2g) speeds because this phones 3g and 4g (hspa) radios are built for att frequencies only, but att and T-Mobile share the same 2g frequency.

Still working internet is working internet. Good find.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] estxxas:
No, I didn't even think about that at the time. As stated above, it'll only be Edge speeds. I'm not sure it would be any faster even if our phone supported the proper bands, since it's using the WAP APN meant for cheapo feature phones. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] willbs94:
If data could be fix to use 3g I would go pick up a Sim and only use T-Mobile. Att keeps getting more and more expensive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iXNyNe:
This phone is physically and technically incapable of using 3g on T-Mobile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lo-fi_engineer:
This might sound silly, but if anyone knows... 1.) Does there need to be a working Tmo card in the phone w/ that APN (vs. att card), 2.) Does it need to have recurring services or could any purchased prepaid Tmo card be swapped into the 777 in an emergency?

I ask b/c AT$T data services blow in my area and I currently have a network data block to avoid paying for said unusable services...I'm curious if this would work in an emergency on the road or if it's likely that Tmo data is as bad as AT$T's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] estxxas:
An (educated) guess tells me 1. Yes, you would need to have the T-Mo SIM in when using the APN. And 2. I would imagine so, since your phone number is used as the Username in the APN, and I'm sure their network identifies the request as either coming from an active/inactive account.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bethrezen1453:
So, if i can use 3g 4g only with AT&T, how come mine is working with Tim (brazilian carrier) ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ashhong:
Hmmmm interesting. I am on Tmobile but not a prepaid card. I'm tempted to try this but don't want to get hit with data charges after...

It's not only with AT&T. AT&T and T-mobile use different bands for 3g. Obviously TIM uses the same bands as AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ashhong:

That is certainly better than what I can report running Thundershed 1.2. For me, it is down to 40 - 50% in 24 hours (I charge it once per day) , mostly on 3G and on Rezound battery with moderate use. What about anyone running sense roms?

I've seen similar results to the OP on the stock rom. I have the Rezound battery as well, but after the last couple official updates, battery life seemed much improved, even with the stock battery.

[Thunderbolt General] VoodooGTR:
Wow that is pretty cool. I can not really get a good assessment of my phone battery life. It is a 30-45 minute commute to work so my phone is in the cradle running 4G and Google Music. Then at work it is trying to ping services hard because of a secured area. So generally I leave work and it is struggling on 40% after sitting in a cubby for 12 hours. And my phone is all stock baby.
[Thunderbolt General] geoff5093:
It really depends on where you are as well. When I am outdoors close to a cell tower with excellent signal strength, I can go a whole day and barely move the battery meter. However if I travel or am inside with a poor/decent signal, the battery dies much faster.
