I didn't know there was a FFF 0.8...

If you have a working ROM on your device, you can use smirkit...

Oh so sorry! I meant FFF 1.1 which I believe was installed with KFU 0.8 or 0.9. I have SBloods latest TWRP-compatible CM7 rom (Jan or Feb). I can use smirkit untethered correct? I will do some more research about smirkit after this post. Thanks.

Hello guys, I have an issue here, I have TWRP 2.1.1 and all of a sudden I can't flash any ROM, I get an E:signature verification failed and after that verifying partitions and a failed message in Red. I tried reinstalling TWRP with kindle fire utility and Smirkit but the issue still persists. please help.

No, there is no zip version, but if you are running a custom ROM (not the stock software), look 5 posts back and you'll see a way to do it without a computer.

Here is how I got mine working again. Go to developer options, uncheck android debugging. Plug kindle fire in, turn on USB connection, go to device manager, and remove the kindle fire driver. Turn off USB connection, go back to developer options, then turn android debugging back on, then plug kindle fire back in, and turn USB connection back on.

Anyone know how to boot back into system? I can boot into twrp but when I select system it just boots back into twrp... running 2.0
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jaa-Yoo:
Use KFU to restore your bootmode to normal, that should work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dasanko:
To add to Jaa-Yoo's post, you may also want to flash the latest TWRP (and FFF 1.4a if you haven't), 2.1.1, which does not have these issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] freestylejunki32:
If you have fff1.4 already installed you can just hold the power button and select restore boot mode when at the fff screen also
[Kindle Fire Android Development] powerpoint45:
it seems like you are in the boot mode set to 5001. You should be in normal boot mode 4000.it would be good to download kindle fire utility, unplug ur kindle, go to kfu, go to boot mode,choose 4000, plug ur kindle in and see if it works. I'm assuming u already have the fastboot driver set up on ur computer.If u don't want to do that then download fff1.4a then mount ur sdcard using twrp then flash it.make sure u compair the md5 to the one posted by hash before flashing.

edit: oh wow four people replied to the same question at one time including me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BrooksBlood:
Reset your boot mode to 4000

If you have hashcodes fff1.4 boot loader you can reset the boot mode upon powering up. If not, use good old adb

Edit: haha just saw the other 5 responses :-P looks like I was to slow to pull the "trigger"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] minieod:
so i am flashing back to this after using clockwork for a while -

anyways i used KFU to install, it seemed to go well

but now the recovery stops at the "teamwin" splash screen before loading into the gray screen

i cant seem to get any adb or fastboot to work properly.... i have fff 1.4

just cant seem to get it to the place where i can issue commands

any help is appreciated

edit: i should also say the reason i was putting twrp on is because something messed up using clockwork and now my OS wont boot.... soo i was trying to put twrp back so i could properly wipe and flash an OS
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
can u get into the os? try using smirkit and reflash the recovery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] minieod:
sorry - reread my edit above

thanks

edit : seems if i boot and idle in the selection mode in FFF (by cycling through the options to not let one get selected), then KFU will allow me to flash twrp using option 3.... but then it still hangs on this splash screen and wont go into the actual recovery menus

am i screwed?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Stage:
Did you use 5.5.0.4 CWM? There is a thread right now dealing with these issues.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] minieod:
i did...but i used one of the first builds and never had a problem

the only problems arose when i messed something up in the OS... i reflashed twrp to replace cwm and it borked
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
The damage was already done I assume.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] powerpoint45:
Is fast boot working?As long as you have fast boot working then you can probably fix it.If you have FB working then I would use fast boot to reflash twrp.

Something like this:

used the kindle fire utility to install this. through the utility it will boot into twrp. but when i unplug and try to get it to boot into twrp, nothing. what do i need to do to get it to boot? i am new to the fire, trying to figure this out. thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kjwalker:
Are you using Hashcode's bootloader?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
twrp

i am not. the utility has firefirefire so i tried that. to no avail. what would be the next step then if the utility shows twrp loaded? and do i need to remove firefirefire?

ok so i didnt realize you were reffering to FFF. yes i have 1.4a installed from the utility. should i then re-install twrp? when i boot with FFF and scroll to recovery, it says booting and then boots normally.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
it sounds like your utility is just booting twrp and not flashing it.

make sure you have twrp 2.1 downloaded on your pc

turn off kindle (with it plugged into usb)

open a terminal where you have fastboot installed.

type: fastboot flash recovery /then/put/path/to/twrp/here

hit enter

it should say "waiting for device"

then turn on kindle, the script will run and install twrp 2.1

[Kindle Fire Android Development] linktohack:
you need a compatible boot loader, not recovery. Try to extract boot image from fff1.4 and flash it with

fastboot flash bootloader u-boot.bin

But kfu is always an easier choice.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
his bootloader is compatible, I was just suggesting he should update it.

he was stuck in fastboot, but is now out. I suggested fastboot booting a recovery because they reset the bootmode when rebooting.

he could have also fastboot idme but eh
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paranoid android85:
@smirkis do you have the older smirkit file that uses the app to run scripts? I can't seem to flash anything through the new twrp recovery
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
just download 1.3 and use root browser/explorer to manually move smirkit and smirkitfiles to /system/xbin

I use the new twrp. it works great, did u check signature verification?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] paranoid android85:
Thank you so much! No I didn't check signature verification, I figure it was a bad flash

Store TWRP backups on NTFS?

Have space issues, also obsessively flashing various ICS and JB ROMs. When I find one for further testing I make a backup.

Question: can I move the TWRP backups to my PC for safe-keeping?

Using TWRP 2.2.0 and FFF 1.4a.

I would have done this automatically without thinking about it except even renaming a backup in TWRP gives an ominous warning about it not being able to be undone. Also saw a post from May alluding to whether storing backups on NTFS would cause issues.

No idme in TWRP 2.2.0

For some reason, TeamWin appears to have dropped the idme binary from the TWRP 2.2.0 boot image. If adb returns an error that idme cannot be found when setting the bootmode through adb while booted into this recovery, you can use pokey9000's bootmode binaries as a workaround.

Instead of...

adb shell idme bootmode 4000

use...

adb shell nbmode

Instead of...

adb shell idme bootmode 4002

use...

adb shell fbmode

Instead of...

adb shell idme bootmode 5001

use...

adb shell rcmode

I no longer have a Kindle Fire, so I can't test any of this, but it should work just fine.

Someone should ask Dees_Troy to get idme back into the next build, so this doesn't cause problems for users. It's bound to trip them up when using the various guides and it will probably break parts of KFU as well.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
Awhh thats why your gone someone needs to get you a kindle;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kinfauns:
I've been busy with my own projects and some other conflicts kept me away from spending so much time on XDA. Besides, you do a good job helping out people on Q&A and there are plenty of KFU experts around to fill in the gaps. Like I was saying in one of the Nexus 7 threads in KF General... I got rid of my Kindle Fires and got a Nexus 7, but sometimes I miss having a KF. Occasionally, I wish I had decided to keep one of them around... Are you volunteering to buy me one? ;)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] rorogio:
I cannot tell you about 2.2.0, but I have 2.1.1 and I also do it a lot, move to PC, and back to restore. Never had any issues. What is important it is to keep the name as it is, and put it in the right folder when moving back to kindle. Otherwise, TWRP isn't even showing the name of the backup when trying to restore.

In the meantime: as I understand this 2.2.0 version is quite buggy, especially that devs of it never tested it on an actual KF?

I agree to be a tester of TWRP, but what's the point if the devs would not be able to make corrections, because they cannot test on KF?

It's like trying to operate a black cat in a dark room with closed eyes :laugh:

Hope it will still get into a stable state in the near future

@ Dees_Troy

I have an issue that I thought was just a very random thing but now it has become more than a random occurrence, so I figured I'd report it. When flashing a Jellybean rom, I get the error message that it's unable to open the zipfile. When this first happened, I figured either a bad download, or maybe I accidentally ticked the check MD5 box or signature verification or something but that wasn't the case. I mounted USB in TWRP, deleted the zip and re-copied it over from my PC, still wouldn't work. Decided to reboot recovery and this time the zip installed.

This happened a couple of times on 2.2, so I went back to 2.1.1 but the issue persisted. I don't recall this ever happening on an ICS rom, so I don't know if it's something peculiar to Jellybean with TWRP. I do a lot of flashing and yesterday I flashed 3 rom zipfiles, the first 2 no problem, on the third I got that error message. As mentioned earlier, this has become a much more common occurrence, so I never know if my zipfile will flash or not. Tapping the reboot to recovery from TWRP always works in getting the zip to flash.

If it matters, I generally transfer the zipfile from my PC to the Fire from within TWRP using USB Mount. Thanks again for all your efforts, as well as TW.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] leswgnr:
I've been flashing Twa_Priv's jellybean ROM regularly without any problems using 2.2. However I haven't been transfering them using USB.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
When I first installed 2.2 I had that happen once simply returned to home screen of twrp then it flashed... just a wild off the wall suggestion you may wanna update your su binaries and busybox couldn't hurt. I never have any issues using mount in twrp or transfer in os most the time I simply just download the file straight to my kindle and flash it from my download folder probably the wrong way to do it but I really haven't noticed anything unsightly by doing it this way:p ... if you continue to have issues use smirkis scripts to overwrite twrp and try again:)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
while in recovery, it should load busy box and su from within its self. updating it within the os might not do much.

try transferring files while mount USB in recovery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Guys, thanks for all suggestions but there's definitely something going on with TWRP. I always use smirkis' scripts to install my recoveries, matter of fact, I've already gone the scenic route. LOL Went from 2.1.1 to 2.2 and then back to 2.1.1. When the issue persisted, went to 2.2 again and it still happened. So, because I had a theme that I made for 2.1.1, went back again to 2.1.1, all with smirkit. Thank you very much smirkis. :D

I don't feel I need or want to update busybox or su binaries, I have no issues with apps getting root privileges. smirkis, as for transferring files with USB mount in recovery, if you read the end of my post, that's how I've been doing it. ;)

I've done some searching and it seems that TWRP may/does have issues with mount points in Jellybean. As I mentioned in my OP, it doesn't happen every time I flash and it's easily correctable by just rebooting from within TWRP to recovery. But it's a bit of a PITA, so hopefully TW will get a fix for it.

At that point I reinstall the driver batch file to make it seen as a ADB device again instead of a Kindle. When I run the run.bat file it states that the device is offline. Please help me fix this. Thank you in advance.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Tom in AZ:
***Update***

LOL, my fault.... I was not understanding the way it was doing the boot sequence. I didn't realize that the power button needed to be hit to cycle through the choices for boot-up. Pressing the power button a few times got me going into the normal boot up and not recovery, my ICS ROM Install loaded right up without issue at that point.

Out of curiosity.... Is there a way to block my kid from blowing it up in recovery if he finds his way in there? Anyway to place a password on it, or anything like that? Thank you again for your hard work on this.

Tom
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
Question of the year IMO.

I'm concerned about this and the factory reset in the settings in many ROMs. In earlier CM versions it was well known to not hit that and many considerate devs removed it completely. I have to assume it's dangerous in ICS & JB until I know for sure otherwise.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Tom in AZ:
Well, the settings section can at least be blocked by an application locker program. Most kids would not think of hitting a volume button and the power button at the same time to get into recovery, so I never worried about that end of things prior.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] BobbaLouie:
A 3 second long-press of the power button gets you into recovery on a Kindle Fire. AAMOF, it's the only button on the entire tablet.

Renaming and Storing TWRP Backups

I wanted to pass along my own anecdotal experience about managing TWRP backups.

Given the space limitations on the KF, I have always copied and renamed backups to my Windows 7 PC (onto NTFS). I have never had any problems with this approach.

There is one time that I have had a problem, though.

If you rename the backup with a ".", so 2012-08-23.cm10, then the Restore will fail and TWRP will soft reboot. If you rename that folder to 2012-08-23-cm10 then everything works fine.

Hope this helps.
