[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kelly0247:
At step 3, the ADB Status says "Offline"

After trying to reboot normally, it sticks at <waiting for device>
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
Just go ahead and do what I said anyway... when it tells you "<waiting for device>" restart it using the button in TWRP or the power button like I indicated before.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kelly0247:
Yes, I actually restarted the device and the Kindle Fire splash screen came up just as you posted the response. Will this remove the root from the device?

You have been so very patient with me. You are WONDERFUL!!!!!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
All you've managed to do so far was to get the device to boot normally.

My guess is that your son never got far enough to actually root the device. However, he did get it to install a new bootloader (the part with the yellow triangle that comes up when you restart it) and a new recovery (TWRP). Right now, these things are harmless and you can leave it alone for the time being.

My suggestion to you would be to just keep using it as you would normally for now. If you can't get some of Amazon services to work or you have problems with it, come back and post another question about getting it back to stock. When the next Kindle Fire update comes along from Amazon, it will reinstall everything back to stock anyway (I'm mostly certain about this, but someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

And I agree with soupmagnet... don't be so hard on the kid about his little experiment.... no harm, no foul.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kelly0247:
I've noticed now that I am unable to view any of the files on my device after connecting it to my PC. Is there any way to correct this or would it be too much of headache for me to attempt?

Thanks again for all the help you have given.

Oh, and I didn't harm my child, but he does know that he is not allowed to play around with my electronic devices anymore. :o
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
Something might have happened to your /sdcard (your storage space on the Kindle Fire) when your son was playing around with it. If you aren't too concerned about what's on there, you can just try formatting or erasing the contents of it. When you hook it up to your Windows machine, it might ask if you want to format it. In that case, it's very likely that you wouldn't be able to recover it even if you wanted, so I would just go ahead and format it. Another way to do this would be to reset the device to factory defaults. You would lose all installed apps, books, etc. and have to re-enter all your network and Amazon information afterwards, but the process will bring the /sdcard on the Kindle Fire to roughly the same as it was when you got it. You can find it in settings -> devices -> reset to factory defaults (this is from memory, so the wording might be slightly different). It all really depends on what you are willing to lose on the device. If you don't care... just erase it and start over.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kelly0247:
Ok, i tried to reset the device to factory settings, but when it rebooted, it brought up the TWRP menu again. Any idea what else I can try?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I sent you a private message so you can get in touch with me for some live help if you need it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
If you haven't gotten things working yet...

If you are in TWRP, try the WIPE -> SD Card option to get your storage space reformatted. You can then use the MOUNT button in TWRP and it should show up on your Windows desktop again.

Then to get rid of TWRP altogether, you can download the software update from Amazon...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_k6_updatesi?nodeId=200790620

Rather than follow the instructions on that page, rename the downloaded file to "update.zip" (without the quotes). You'll get a warning about file extensions... it's OK to change the name anyway. The file icon will change to a zippered folder after this. Copy the update.zip file over to your Kindle Fire.

Back in TWRP, hit the INSTALL button. Over in the right panel, you should see the update.zip file you transferred to the Kindle Fire. Touch that file name and you'll be able to continue installing that file onto your Kindle Fire. When it's done, you can reboot from the home menu.

It will take a few minutes for it to boot up for the first time, but when it's done, you should have a fresh, completely stock sytem and you'll be rid of TWRP.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kelly0247:
This is an update to let you know that my Kindle is now back in perfect condition. Kinfauns, thank you so much for all the information and the attempts to help me fix this problem. Unfortunately, I needed more indepth help and wasn't able to correct my issues with the steps given.

Soupmagnet: Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart for the many hours of trial and error that you spent helping me repair my device. Your patience with me was beyond belief and I will never be able to thank you enough!

You are totally AWESOME!!!!!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeaDe135:
Please help.

I am also stuck on the TWRP screen.

When I:

1) Hook up my Kindle Fire to the computer and turn it on...let it boot to TWRP

2) Open the Kindle Fire Utility with the "run" file in the KFU folder

3) It registers "ADB Status: Online"

4) When I hit "1" for Normal it states:

"The system cannot find the drive specified.

The system cannot find the path specified.

"

"

"

"

What is the drive specified it is referring to?

Thank you.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linktohack:
I *guess* it refers to the external Sd Card, since I got the same error.

In your case, since Adb status is online then just open a Terminal Emulator (cmd.exe in case of Windows) and change directoy to the tools folder inside Kfu, and run the command

adb shell idme bootmode 4000

Same Issue except I want to finish rooting it

I'm running Kindle Fire 6.3.1

I ran Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.6 and hit option 2, install permanent root with superuser.

The process went smoothly until i ran into this

/sbin/sh;idme:not found 808 kb/s (22364 bytes in 0.027s)

attempt to remove root check

please wait..

and it got stuck there (no screenshots...sorry)

At that time, my KF had rebooted with blue fire, then it loaded TWRP v2.20

Apparently the instructions I initially followed was for KFU v0.9.4 and I've been searching for 2 hours on what the next steps are.

I restarted my laptop (Sony VAIO VPCEA46F) and my KF through TWRP 'reboot' --->'power off'

I plugged in my KF and ran KFU now it says

ADB Status: Online

Boot Status: Unkown

And now I am stuck in TWRP Recovery with my thumb up my ass..

I know, I know... I'm a fool for not checking things before starting this process. I appreciate any help and I'll accept any and all insults.

Thanks!

[Motorola Photon 4G] cardinalsfre:
I've rooted and unlocked my MoPho as of now.

I've attempted to flash joker and romracer's recovery.

However, when I go to check to see how CWM is doing, I only get 4 options:

reboot system now

apply update from sdcard

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Both of the videos I have watched show other options such as backup's and such. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, and any help would be appreciated!
[Motorola Photon 4G] veidt_industries:
Which clockwork are you using?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cardinalsfre:
I have used this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216143

and the

AIO root

The standard cwm (The one from market) gives me all the options.

However, when I try to flash jokers or romracers cwm recovery I just get the 4 basic options again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Fastboot erase recovery and then use fasboot to install the new, one romracers or jokers your choice. If flashing CM9 id use Jokers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cardinalsfre:
That is the method I attempted to flash both of them with.

I still get the triangle with the arrow and the android by it that I have to press both the up and down volume buttons to show the recovery screen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Thats the stock recovery.. You ARE unlocked correct? and you flashed it by putting phone into fastboot and with CMD pushing the new recovery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] cardinalsfre:
Yes, I do believe I am unlocked.

Root check shows that I am rooted

Upon boot the phone says, "unlocked"

Yes, I am using the CMD prompt to attempt to flash, following qbking's video instructions.

Edit: Also, the CMD prompt says it has completed the recovery flash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
So you did all this below?

"moto-fastboot erase recovery

moto-fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img"

and it came back saying

"sending 'recovery' (4780 KB)... OKAY [ 0.490s]

writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.544s]"

If so id to redownload the recovery.img and try again..
[Motorola Photon 4G] cardinalsfre:
That worked, at first.

Upon first boot up I was greeted with the right recovery module.

When I went restarted to flash my ROM I was brought back to the original Android Recovery.

Edit: Should I flash on first boot up or should I wait until I can get the recovery to stick?
[Motorola Photon 4G] superwrench:
You have to go into the files and rename the stock recovery to ".bak" to make the new one stick. If I can find the link again, I will post it , or you can Google it? I think that's how I found it to begin with.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cardinalsfre:
Thanks, that worked!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielEGVi:
I'm looking for an ICS ROM which doesn't mess with my battery because of wifi drivers, half of my ram, can't record video and can't run GTA3 for more than eight seconds (...*cough*CM9*cough*...)

I'm looking for something that can play Shadowgun with Xperia controls, AOSP themed, runs fast, deodexed, isn't a ram or battery hog, and is fast.

Can't choose between Darkforest ICS, ICS++ and many others so I'm asking, what would be the best ROM for gaming and speed?

Lol me too. Im in DarkForest now, but will try ICS++ later this day. Personally i don't have a problem with Darkforest as my problem is in ICS Beta itself that can see in every ICS based ROM, atleast someone said that to me.

But ICS++ looks promising as i really dig the AOSP look and everything.

[TouchPad General] hiz99:
So I've been wanting a tablet for a while and I missed the chance to get a TP when the fire sale happened. My dad just bought a Transformer Prime and that's pretty sweet but I don't want to shell out $600. So is this a good buy? Is it worth the $250-$300?
[TouchPad General] skillz9669:
Well, ask yourself this. Do you not want ANY issues? If so then no it's not worth it. I enjoy mine very much, but I have pretty much made the issues with the TP part of my normal usage routine. Like when it dies ( uh oh, sometimes doesn't like to come back on for a while), or when I reboot I have to re setup my wifi network and sometimes it just decides it doesn't want to do the whole auto rotate for me. However the apps run smooth, sound is great ( when the screen is on lol ). Downloading games no problem ( just once again don't let the screen shut off while its downloading sd files ). Oh and no camera unless in webos. So here is my last piece to help u with.

New android tab: 399-700ish

New tp 32gb: about 300

pros: nice size display, bright, loud, very smooth, decent batt life, can connect to many peripherals: wii remote, ps3 controller, mouse, keyboard, etc...

cons: camera only on front, issues with rom i posted up top, no external memory

hope this helps some :)
[TouchPad General] rectify:
I have had my touch pad for almost 2 months, with cm on it for almost as long. The ONLY problem I've had with it is the camera not working.

I've had none of the problems the above user has. Works great, and is only getting better. And $299 is a bit steep. My 32 gig with case and speed charger was $225 shipped
[TouchPad General] hiz99:
So if I could buy one around $200 with accessories its a good deal?
[TouchPad General] Leoisright:
Good luck getting a 32 with accessories for $200. I'm letting one of mine go for $280 plus shipping with touchstone and keyboard. But mine has carbon fiber wrap and two used cases. Still thinking about listing on eBay cause it should fetch $300 easy cause the wrap got put on right after open so its about as new looking as possible.

[TouchPad General] nightanole:
Im a noob (first android rooted phone in november) and i love my $180 16gb TP. Im running 30-31 AOKP and the ONLY issues are front camera and having to turn on and off the wifi (quick settings double tap) when coming out of sleep or switching locations.

For the price the only other options are the kindle fire and nook. and those dont support HD video or even ui hardware acceleration. You would have to spend $300 for a used/reconditioned true ICS tablet with the same features and battery life.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
The TouchPad is awesome in my opinion. No real issues running android except the camera and microphone, but that could come to us down the road. Everything else runs well. If you havent used webOS, you may even like that OS better. The ONLY downside to webOS is the lack of apps. But if you dont even use that many apps, you wont even notice. Running both operating systems at the same time is nice.

As far as pricing, a 16gb version, you might be able to get for $200 with one or two of the following: case, wall charger, screen protectors. Add a touchstone charger to it and it will be maybe $50 more. If you get a 32GB version, add another $30 or so. I got my 32 GB TouchPad for $230 off of ebay and it came with a case and wall charger. I'm planning on getting a touchstone charger eventually.
[TouchPad General] hiz99:
What's so special about a touchstone charger?
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
Have you even seen it and know what it does? Its a charger that sits on a table/desk/whatever, and you just sit your Touchpad on it and it charges. No plugging in cables to charge. It also acts as an adjustable stand. This is one of the best accessories Palm started with their webOS phones. I loved the Touchstone for the Palm Pre Plus. Can't wait to use one with my TouchPad.
[TouchPad General] dung8604:
Is it a 16 gig or 32 gig? A 16 gig is a good deal, a 32 gig is a great deal! I recently got a 32 gig for 200 with case and touchstone dock.

$200-250 seems to be price point for a 32GB model.

I just got a 32gb off Craigslist for 175 with a case. Its brand spanking new barley used. Soon as cm9 is fixed it will be amazing
[TouchPad General] secret_3108:
well great deal for that if it is a 32 gb
[TouchPad General] Infinite Jest:
I honestly don't think any model of TP is worth over $200 used. Considering the plethora of tablets that are coming out in coming months at increasingly reduced prices, the TP is moving the way of the dinosaur quickly.
[TouchPad General] Leoisright:
Not even close to becoming a dinosaur. The touchpad runs as good if not better then those that have ics on them for a fraction of the price. $200 for a dual boot tablet if a fantastic deal.

[Nokia Lumia 900] BooR4dley:
Got my 900 Yesterday and realized his morning that the charge cable had popped out overnight. Upon inspection I discovered that the shape of the hole in the Silicone cover I received (AT&T is giving away $100 of accessories in Illinois on top of everything else, WOOT!) is not the same as the shape of the micro-USB cable that came with the phone. I thought it was a genuine Nokia case, I don't have the box because the were kind enough to dispose of it.

I'm curious if anyone else has run into this? The charge cable is fairly oval shaped while the hole in the case is more of a basic trapezoid /__\.

Has anyone else run into this or do your hole and cable shape match up, if so are you matched oval or trapezoid?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Pem3108:
you know my car charger won't fit and I have a Samsung Micro-USB cable that I use to plug it into my computer and that one is super lose. But then I use some third party no name micro-USB cable that I use to charge and that one fits perfectly fine. Have you tried the actual cable that came with the phone? Usually those Nokia cables are high quality.
[Nokia Lumia 900] BooR4dley:
Yeah, it's the stock cable that came with the phone that won't fit. It's quite secure without the case on, but pops off when using the case due to the difference in hole shape.
[Nokia Lumia 900] cx1:
If Nokia would have centered the usb port it would be less an issue. Very annoying to me as well so I took the dremel to the case. The case is so tight I don't want to have to remove it constantly.
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Yeah, I noted this in my review of the L900. I am tempted to carve out part of the gel case, but it would probably be noticeable from the front of the phone. They should have centered the micro-USB socket on the top of the phone.

The one thing I miss from my Surround is the indicator light. Not for missed calls (I don't get many). But liked knowing the phone was charging/charged. Now I have to power on to be sure the cable didn't move.

The rocketfish micro USB data cable will for sure work and latch on and some other rocketfish micro USB products (such as the car charger). I had the same problem with all my existing micro USB cables and I stopped by best buy and plugged in all of their micro USB cables into my phone with the gel case to see which ones would work.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
I have that exact same case and all USB cables I have tried fit perfectly. Not sure why you're having this problem...
[Nokia Lumia 900] cx1:
Some of the cases have square cut out and some are oval in the same packaging.
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Mine is oval, and while the plug goes in fine it does not seat flat to the phone. So it's up 1/16" and that could be enough for ot to wobble out if you touch the phone while charging.

I walk around the house with a short 8" USB cable and portable USB charger. Nokia has popped out a few times. Surround never did.
