[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
I am using a PC ( a netbook, don't laugh, I'm on vacation!!)

I installed the drivers using the install_bat from the kfu.

In device manager I see Android Phone and underneath Android Composite ADB Interface...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brainchow:
interesting. check my previous post and see if you have FFF installed. adb should be working fine if device manager can find it. if you can, run adb devices into cmd and see if it picks up your kindle. not sure if the stock rom has a development switch in the settings.. if there's an option to enable usb debugging, make sure that is on. if not, just try moving usb ports and running adb devices.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
If adb has trouble recognizing your device, it means it's a driver issue. Either Windows, KFU or a combination of the two causes the drivers to fail for some reason.

Uninstall/delete your current drivers in device manager (may require reboot)

Turn your Kindle off

Reinstall drivers

Turn your Kindle on

Retry adb commands
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
I have FFF as I see the fire in a caution sign (yellow triangle thing right?)

ADB still doesn't pick my kindle after a PC restart.

No usb debugging available in the stock rom.

I will uninstall and reinstall the drivers from device manager.

Thanks again for your prompt help. I am oblidged!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brainchow:
that's fantastic... if you have FFF, try pressing the power button a couple times as it turns on and see if you can get into recovery. you shouldn't need adb now. if you can get into recovery, just wipe and flash the new rom. if you don't, you can use fastboot to install it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
Ok...I reinstalled the drivers

now ADB gets the kindle

I do adb shell

then ls / system /xbin

no such file or directrory

the same goes with the

ls / system / app

But if I give su I get

su

#

Now what?

And in which directory should I transfer the MoDaCo Rom?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
SU (substitute user) in shell is different from the su binary

Make sure you are typing "L"s, not "i"s then /system/xbin
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
I really do type "L"...still ls/system/xbin: not found
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brainchow:
modaco can go anywhere in the kindle.. just copy it somewhere. then press the power button a couple times when FFF comes up and see if you can get into twrp.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
Guys? I just installed ModaCo and it seems it works fine. Google Play seems to work and all my data are still there (I mean the books I uploaded). If this is right then.... THANKS TO ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Drinks are on me! Now I go to sleep! Will keep you informed!!!

Thanks again!!!!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Space between ls and /system/xbin and no other spaces

It IS there, your Kindle wouldn't work otherwise
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brainchow:
if you want to use adb, should be ls /system/xbin. make sure you put the space after the ls. i would still recommend flashing modaco nevertheless... that shouldn't need adb. just maybe fastboot if your recovery isnt installed.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

no problem... enjoy :)

i would still recommend wiping data and the two caches to ensure that it's bug free. but if everything works fine, so be it.

have fun :D
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
Ok I'll try that
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
I am limited to 8 thanks per day so...Thanks again guys!

I did wipe data and the two caches before I flashed it and it works fine.

I am sooo grateful to you all.

Another question now:

I still can't see the Amazon VOD. I read I have to temporarily unroot the device. Is this right? And how do I do it?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
Some questions /issues with MoDaGo, Titanium BackUp and BusyBox

Hi all,

I would be really grateful if you had some tips on the following.

Based on the guides and advices I got from here I have installed the MoDaGo ROM on my Kindle Fire.

I manage pretty much almost everything I wanted to do as a noob and I am pleased.

I downloaded yesterday from Google Play the Titanium Backup App. On running it I get the message that it "...cannot acquire root privileges. Try that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox and try again.

This attempt was made using the "su" command."

I tried to upgrade the Superuser App but it hits straight the Amazon Store. When I try to find it in Google Play it is listed as installed, although I cannot find it on my Apps Tab.

Trying to install BusyBox I get the message that "..the su binary was not found on your phone. This application will not work without root".

Questions:

-I should be able to access the Superuser App right? So why is it that I can't ?

-And why do these installations do not recognize that the KF is rooted?

Any helpful answer would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The Superuser app simply maintains a database of which apps you give permission to access the su binary. The su binary is where the "magic" happens but the two work hand-in-hand. An absence of either one is an absence of "root".

You need to get the su binary from the Superuser website and use adb to push it to /system/xbin
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
Hi again...a somwhow silly question:

Could you please guide me how to push the su binary to the above location?

I found the binary zip. SHould I unzip it? If yes to which location? I know it sounds silly...but I have really no clue..

Thanks in advance:)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
There is a new version of the kindle fire utility with updated features might wanna download it and give it a whirl the older version stopped pushing superuser which I'm guessing is your only issue read the op carefully before proceeding http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889 you will want to select install permanent root when done the yellow triangle will be replaced by a blue kindle fire logo that's the bootloader screen with many more important device saving features described here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1632375 familiarize yourself well before you do anything major here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1552547 good luck
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
Hey thanks for the answer. While I am waiting for tipps on my previous question I will familiarize myself with your suggestions, it might be indeed a brilliant solution.

Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
If kindle fire utility will push superuser and su binary to your device your previous question won't require an answer but it is very good to know how to use adb in the event you need to

Once in recovery adb shell mount system

adb push su /system/xbin/su

adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su

adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

Lets disable the root check before rebooting

adb shell mv /system/bin/check_rooted /system/bin/check_rooted.bak

adb shell idme bootmode 4000 adb reboot

Once booted into Android, install superuser

adb install Superuser.apk
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
Yeah because I'd like to learn a bit too...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Knowledge is the key to preventing mishaps on your device and having it to enjoy for years to come:-) I edited the above to be more clear I hope:-)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
Indeed ...:)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
An easy quick tester to test if you have root is try a program that requires root it will ask you to grant access click allow also there is root checker http://www.appbrain.com/app/root-checker-basic/com.joeykrim.rootcheck sorry that's a market link Google around for the apk if need be:-)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
Just did it. The result: "Sorry this device does not have proper root access".

So now I guess I have to either install the latest KFU or transfer the su-binary. If I go now for the latter (because I'm at work and I don't want to become hysterical if something goes wrong with the newer KFU), how do I proceed?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Hmm good question but I must say the bug fixes implemented in the new Kindle fire utility can be a huge rescue the very biggest problems I forsee make sure you have allow applications from unknown sources checked. Things tend to go wrong when a file already exists. Never unplug it till your positive its ran its course people panic when the device reboots or they get stuck in fastboot and panic this all can be remedied within kfu but adb is tried and true method but is considerably more difficult to understand the bonus of using kfu is that the bootloader that it puts on can get you out of fastboot that is a huge help. Good thing is there's a pretty decent rescue squad at xda soupmagnet who has been helping you is one of the best kinfauns is another:-)

---------- Post added at 04:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 AM ----------

Let me add this too as long as you can get back into recovery and your screen is not black and fails to power on your pretty safe. You power on you get no screens at all for a long period of time and if you hold the power button for 30 seconds and then try to power it on then your in trouble and the rescue methods become way more intense.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
Right... Thanks again. I guess I should wait until I get home to do it. Read all the instructions at a slow pace, try to understand and then implement.

Thx:)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Your welcome I hope you have good success no matter which route you chose your bootloader and twrp can all be upgraded later easily if you go ahead and the finish the adb process your working on now. I can say that kfu has been no fail for me when I did have trouble it was driver issues argghh the worst. But I have rooted my daughters and mine both twice with it worked perfect. The first time I did mine was via adb five roots without a fail knock on wood :-) Rooted galaxy tab and droidx as well I love my gadgets but I never stop trying to learn more
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
If its in a zip folder yes if its a bin file I believe you just place it in the same folder as you did fastboot. All the required files are here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24129239 but you only need su.bin and superuser.apk
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
In a way I don't trust myself to do this...but still..

Question: In which folder should I unzip the su-binary so that the adb be able to find it?

(It sounds dump right? I know...*shamefullook*)

5 mins later:

Disregard the last question: I found the answer in one of the guides posted by the Kinfauns (great posting for all noobs!)

Please help again whoever reads this:

I didn't do anything to my Kindle since I flashed MoDaGo. I was happy and pleased with it. The last days I have been watching a lot of streaming Amazon Videos and also downloaded some free apps from Google Play, nothing important.

I just wanted to read my book further when horrified I discovered that all my Books and Documents do not show on the KF.

When I connect it to the PC and browse through the folders all the data is there. It just doesn't show on the shelf and therefore I do not have access to it.

Anywork around please? Any suggestions?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
Books Gone!!!

Guys anyone? Please
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
I've noticed just recently when I flash a new rom I will get a prompt to delete the book I have downloaded and redownload it. Consequently after like 4 times it will tell me I have downloaded it to to many devices and I need to buy it again. Before you flashed madaco you made a backup go to your backup and restore it to see if you can't access your books again

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

I have a feeling that flashing a new from wipes a required cache file causing this issue but its only recently that this issue has arose leave it to amazon.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreekCY:
And the strange thing is that in my docs folder where I have only PDF data, I have now PDFs and MOBI and some other data and I don't even know how they got there.

And remember that Root Checker said that there was no superuser binary and Titanium Back could not work because of that?

Well suddenly without me doing anything the su binary is there, root checker recognizes it and titanium backup works! This is very strange.

But what do I do now with the books?

PS:

I just copied two files from the Books folder to the Kindle folder but it didn't work.

Anyone ?

PS2: I put two mobi files in the kindle restarted the KF and they show there but without covers and the format is distorted. I think the whole mess took place after Kindle App had been automatically updated.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usachftp:
So the phone will not turn on until I remove the battery, reinsert the battery ( I get a white circle in the center of the display) then hurry and plug in a usb cable to get the battery icon to display. then the phone will power on.

When the phone is completely off and I insert a usb cable I never get a battery icon stating that the unit is charging. I have replaced the battery and the usb cable.

when the phone is completely off and I know I have a good charge on the battery, it will not power.

I recently flashed the phone to stock to see if any boot loaders, kernels, etc might be the - cause same issue. I am back to being rooted and running ics.

the phone will reboot without issue.

just once the phone is completely off is when I run into this issue.

today the phone shut off (with 95% on the battery) and the circle in the center of the display was flashing on and off - to me it seems that the battery was not securely seated - I went through my ritual and the phone powered on without issue.

The battery contacts are intact and move as they should when the battery is inserted so I know there is good contact.

I hope someone can point me into the right direction.

THanks!!

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmb04:
I want to know if the Sanyo Juno can be used as a donor phone when flashing to Shift to Boost Mobile? Or does it HAVE to be an Incognito or Rant? I thought it only had to be 3g. The only reason im asking is because on the back of my Juno it says QUALCOMM 3G CDMA. Unsure exactly what that means but I always assumed my phone was 3g

Also instead of creating another topic, what i've been hearing is that Flashing my Phone to boost is a much harder Process then if I were to flash it to Metro PCS or Cricket.

Personally I'd rather have Boost since that's what I like, But what about the performance if I were to Flash to either Metro, Virgin, Cricket or even Straight Talk? Do any of the other carriers have a clear advantage over Boost? And I dont mean their network in general but more along the lines if I were to have an EVO Shift Flashed to anyone of them. Which is the best performing network to Have on EVO shift?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Just throwing this out there. I don't know where your at as far as Flashing the device. Whether you want to do it yourself, or don't care if someone else does it. I know around here where I live there are several BOOST Mobile places that will Flash the device over to BOOST for you. Fully functioning with MMS, SMS, Data, and calling features. IDK what they charge, or if they do mail order. But I'm sure if you check there should be someplace near you that will do it for you.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmb04:
I just recently came back from San Antonio so I know what you mean. There is probably a phone place on every single corner that will flash your phone for you. And cheap too. Like 20-30 dollars. But right now i'm in Ashtabula Ohio. Which is basically Bumblefuck.. I wouldnt mind paying someone else to flash it but people really try to charge something ridiculous like 70-150 dollars depending on if I need a donor phone or not. That's honestly the only reason why i'm tryna figure this **** out myself because I feel that price is a rip off. IDK though, I might try cricket instead because i'm hearing that's much much easier to flash too

Have you checked HERE? You may be able to get better info, or leads.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmb04:
Yeah a couple people directed me there. I read the whole thread. But it seems to me it's more about helping the original poster get his MMS and Voicemail working on his phone that's already flashed to Boost mobile. Doesn't really explain how I can go about Flashing myself.

This guide Here explains how to flash to boost. I followed it pretty good all the way to the point where I had to flip and change my esn/meid.. That's where it got confusing and I stopped as I didnt want to damage my phone.

And most of the guides I find are nearly a year old or so. So they all say that the only phones that can be used as donor phones are either the Incognito or The Rant. Meaning for me to use Boost I would have to buy either one. Which brings me back to my original question of Is the Juno capable of being a donor phone as well?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
That I don't know. But I know there's a thread on how to put the OG EVO4G on Boost. It gets a lot more traffic than the Shift one. Maybe someone can point you in the right direction there. Also a quick search came up with THIS, and THIS THREAD.

Every phone has provider has unique features, it is only exclusive i guess for BB. Anyhow you can decompile mms.apk and change emoticon as you like, but take note it will only be viewed in your phone, if you send it to other it will be viewed as the default emoticon of the phone.

Its not that much but I hope this helps.

For all of us who are using it on PC (and missing it on android ;))

It's still on beta and not yet available on Google Play but, as far as i'm used it, it's fully operational and functional. Good thing is that it never ever asked for superuser privileges but it can do whatever you want with system files so...

you can download it at http://www.ghisler.com/android.htm and bellow are some screenshots that show/prove it's functionality :cool:

P.S. It does looks a bit confusing at first sight (like it's predecessor on PC at first look long, long time ago...) but after few finger hits over the screen it gets very logical and practical so give it a shot ;)

How about remount /system to RW?

Full.

First, while you are in system folder, hit last green button in main menu:

then hit the R button:

and there you go:

As i understood on the TC forums there is will of author to make that R button permanent part of main menu but with this way it stays open down there untill you choose to disable it so it's fine like this too ;)

OK so I'm trying to downgrade my phone from Honeycomb to gingerbread. Thus far I've unlocked the bootloader, installed super user, well anyway I'm at the point of installing the RUU. According to globaltrons guide, my flyer which is a 16 gig wifi US only model, should use one of the brightstar firmwares. Well I tried both and I get an UNKNOWN ERROR 1555 telling me I have the wrong RUU. Now my flyer is sitting here draining the battery and I can't get it to turn off. And can someone just tell me what RUU I need? I'm sure all 16 gig us flyers are the same anyway. Its the refirb from buy.com. Anyone else who bought one probably has the same RUU

Alright help just isn't coming fast enough so I finally got it to shut off. I just remembered the 3 button trick from my captivate and waddayaknow it worked on the flyer. Now I'm going to try again and see what RUU i'm supposed to run.
