Can someone pls hook me up with the link to a flashable 2.2.2.1 zip of TWRP? Thx in advance for the help.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] That Baker Guy:
i dont have a flashable zip, i couldnt find one either, what i did was flash twrp 2.2.2.1 with the kindle fire utility. its the only way i could get it on there.

i chose :install twrp custom recovery

then rebooted the kindle fire so that the utility would see it at start up
[Kindle Fire Android Development] verfahrer:
Hier you have got it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mdaa83:
I was surprised to see so many problems with the latest TWRP. It works flawlessly for me every time since updating it. I have used dd for years so I'm really comfortable using it to install images directory to a partition. I don't think I have had any success using fast boot and flashing TWRP. I think I may have succeeded using that method on my son's Kindle but I really prefer using dd. I typically create a backup of the partitions contents first as follows prior to flashing a new copy of TWRP.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/twrp_old.img

Backing up the old recovery image partition image gives you the ability to roll back TWRP in case something goes wrong. Reversing is simply changing the if and of arguments.

dd if=/sdcard/twrp_old.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

Since we now have android 4.2 for the kindle fire, can we get a needed twrp updated to the latest version?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
The latest version is broken.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b.huss2:
We need the update to 2.3.2

I currently use 2.3.1.1 without any issues. I don't really know what you mean by that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b.huss2:
nevermind, that's my bad. i see the recovery has been updated

the link over at twrp still says 2.3.1.1 but once downloaded the file attached to the link is 2.3.2.3

thanks twrp!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
What I mean by that is that it doesn't format correct most everyone who uses it will have some sort of issue.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b.huss2:
OK I gotcha. I looked back and read of some issues. Is that apply to 2.3.1.1 or 2.3.2.3 or both?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] leswgnr:
TWRP and Android 4.2.1

Any reason to think the prior working version of twrp will have issues with the new android 4.2.1? Anybody try it yet?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I use 2.2.2.1 and it works fine with the new 4.2.1 I use twa_priv beta, have a back up already.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
2.2.2.1 works perfectly no issues at all haven't heard a peep about 2.3.2.3 make sure its for the kindle fire because its been released for other devices I'm not sure if it has been for the kindle. It appears that the op has not updated his thread and there is a 2.3.2.3 version avaible no clue to the stability but its there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b.huss2:
Yes it's there and I tried it but no boot after what seemed to be a successful flash. I imagine it has the same issues as the last version. Just sat on boot ani. However, as stated above, 2.2.2.1 works fine with 4.2

Also I miss stated before, I was using 2.2.2.0 and just upgraded to 2.2.2.1. i thought I was up to date but wasn't. Good thing I guess. Hard to keep up, I have 5 devices to maintain, lol.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Trialz Nexus One:
I have to admit I do not experience issues with TWRP 2.3.1.1. I would like to upgrade to the latest 2.3.2.3 version. Is there a zip for this one?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
Wait till formatting is actually important you will have issues it`s not deemed for public consumption you are far better off using 2.2.2.1 at least you can`t say that you haven`t been pre-warned.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dees_Troy:
I fixed the format issues in 2.3.2.3
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
Kinfauns flashed it the other day and had the same bootloop problem as the prior version I will flash it when I get time and post my results.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b.huss2:
Hmm, that's odd. I tried it to flash hashcodes aosp 4.2 but I ended up in a boot loop. it may not have been the recovery's fault though, I only tried it the once because I assumed it was the format issue. i will most definitely try it again soon but be a little more thorough.

Thanks for the response Dees_Troy. And thanks for building this without even owning a KF. Would a recovery log be helpful for issues like this?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Thepooch:
Three different flashes with full wipes all resulting in bootloops in fact the last one barely wanted to get past the bootloader back to 2.2.2.1.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Yes it would be.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Updated!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b.huss2:
Thank you sir!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
here is an update zip for TWRP 2.3.3.1 :) not sure why it's 2.3.3.1 and not 2.3.3.0 like OP says but got the recovery.img from OPs link and just updated the zip file for flashing to make it easier to install .
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Would appreciate it if some of you folks that are using this new version of TWRP would give me feedback after some testing. If it looks good, I will update the smirkit tool with it. So, maybe flash a few roms, as well as some backups & restores to see if it's good to go.

Maybe we can finally jump from TWRP 2.x to 2.3 safely. :) And Dees Troy, although I know you guys on Team Win don't have the KF, thanks for your continuing support.

Thanks,

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
Using twa_priv's latest cm10.1, I restored from an old backup without problems and then loaded a newly made backup without any issues. The new twrp work fine.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Thanks for the feedback but I would also like feedback on flashing roms. On previous versions there have been issues with failed flashes, as well as getting stuck in a bootloop when flashing roms.

Thanks,

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dees_Troy:
I probably fixed that in the 2.3.1.0 update. 2.3.0.0 was leaving /system mounted after booting. Unfortunately a large percentage of ROMs don't unmount system during the install before formatting system which was causing problems. I didn't catch it during my testing because the 2 ROMs I tested with normally were unmounting system properly. ROMs really should unmount system before formatting, but it was easier to fix it in TWRP by unmounting system after booting than trying to get all ROM makers to follow good practices. :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Understood & thanks for the explanation. I will wait a bit for some user feedback and also do some testing myself. If all goes well, I'll upload a new smirkit version for those that are interested, with TWRP 2.3.3.1.

Mike T
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b.huss2:
is there a reason why we can't install via goo-manager? is that function supposed to work? (at least it hasn't worked for me)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
I forgot to say that I also flashed with this, although it was a dirty flash. I am satisfied that it works.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
TWRP 2.3.3.1 in smirkit 2.2

It appears that the new TWRP 2.3.3.1 is working as expected. Thanks Ixthusdan for posting your results with it, I also did some limited testing of the usual functions and it was working for me.

Anyway, for those that would like to have this latest TWRP 2.3.3.1 version with an easy and accurate install, I've included it in an updated smirkit, version 2.2. With smirkit 2.2, you get to have all of the current main utilities in one package. Makes it very easy and everything is MD5 checksummed for you.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.0.0 touch recovery [2013-01-29]

This doesn't apply to the Kindle Fire but it probably will apply to your future devices so it's good to know about it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] webdroidmt:
Ah thanks for the heads up, didn't know that. Thought it applied to JB 4.1 & 4.2 Android in general. Since this was in the N7 forum, I'm guessing it applies to that device, may I ask what other device(s) it currently applies to?

Matter of fact, I also have a Touchpad running CM10, does it apply to that? Appreciate your input.

2. Rename it to recovery.img & move it to sdcard/

3. In terminal, Type this:

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Sblood86:
All the Kindle Fire devices other than the first generation have a locked bootloader and as such require a 'second' bootloader to get around this. To my understanding the compat for said bootloader is wrapped up into the ramdisk so on the off chance that the recovery works it probably won't reboot into or out of it properly, I'd hold off on updating your HD until there's a release for it.

CHANGELOG for 2.4.1.0:

-Fixed handoff between vfat and exFAT on devices where blkid didn't detect vfat (fixes some issues with mounting sdcards)

Cache, dalvik, and system wipes should completely clear out a rom, right? I did that tonight to go from hashcode's cm10.1 to STG7 and it seems to g

have resulted in a dirty flash. All my apps are still here, but trebuchet crashes constantly. I had to push Nova Launcher from my pc.

Please pardon the font size, no idea how it changed
[Kindle Fire Android Development] vbdss:
No it shouldnt clear out everything, the user apps will still be installed, and your configurations too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Dees_Troy:
You need to do a factory reset to get rid of the apps and settings. A factory reset wipes data and cache which includes dalvik. There's usually no need to wipe system as the ROM zip usually wipes system as part of its install process.

thanks brother. goomanager failed to update recovery.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] brizey:
I guess if I had an AMOLED screen device this would be good, but I am in general concerned with how complex recoveries are becoming. Every unnecessary feature they add is another place to break, another thing to test (or fail to test) for a new release. One more thing that they have to make sure works on every supported device.

Honestly, I would rather they go the 4EXT route and build a good recovery control app. Put the complexity in the app where it is optional. But...its free so i guess I can always take my "money" elsewhere, right :o

Dees_Troy: the 2.4.x line has been fantastic.

Thanks for all you do.

And I love the new features. Devices like the Kindle Fire HD 8.9 use enough power just keeping the screen on, that a timeout is PERFECT for it. I'm sure N10 is in a similar boat.

I'm thinking it's to do with the blaze/otter version of twrp and the SmoothROM zip looking for the opposite of what I flashed
