[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
yeah you should be fine it sent the new bootloader that corrects your bootmode do as gregory has suggested and hold the power button down till your assured its powered off say 1minute then power it back on it should likely reset itself just let it boot. Also sometimes when your plugged it to the computer it will just try to hang in this fastboot mode I dont know why witnessed the same thing a couple days ago unplug your usb cable then fully power it down then back on again.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbrotherrex:
I have experienced EXACTLY the same issues, and no matter how many times I try turning it on/off, the same thing. I can not get out of this mode where all I see is the logo. I wish there had been any instructions whatsoever for using the KFU.. This just sucks. (and sucks x 2, because I'm looking at 2 Fires with the same problem right now. It "feels" like a brick situation because I can't get Windows to even detect that I have ANYTHING plugged in when I try that route.

Firekit to the rescue

Hello,

I had the same issue and solved it with Firekit

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1430038

The tricky part is this, you have to edit the usb_install_fff_twrp script like this:

#!/bin/bash

FKDIR=/root/firekit

echo "Loading FFF through USB..."

usbboot $FKDIR/aboot.bin $FKDIR/u-boot.bin

echo "Flash FFF..."

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader $FKDIR/u-boot.bin

echo "Flash TWRP..."

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery $FKDIR/twrp2-blaze.img

echo "Resetting bootmode to standard boot..."

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

echo "Loading TWRP..."

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot $FKDIR/twrp2-blaze.img

That way you are forcing fastboot to recognize the device.

The linux distro I used to run Firekit was sysresccd.org.

You just create a bootable usb thumb drive and leave firekit on the main folder.

Then firekit is accesible from /livemnt/boot.

Just copy it to /tmp, unzip it and do:

bash fk

Then edit usb_install_fff_twrp:

vi usb_install_fff_twrp

Execute and you are left in TWRP
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
While I'd love to see something like this be the silver bullet for users to fix their devices, these edits won't help matters.

The first meaningful thing this script will do is load the FFF bootloader onto the device through USB. The vendor ID for FFF is "18d1" and not "1949" as your modification implies. By default, fastboot will recognize "18d1" and work just fine without the "-i 0x1949" switch. While this modified script should still work, these edits are entirely unnecessary. Whatever you did to get this script working the second time around... it wasn't because you added the "-i 0x1949" switch to the fastboot commands.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanleybeerz:
This issue has been SOLVED! I couldn't have done it without Thepooch who spent 4-5 hours over teamviewer to help solve the problem. He's knowledgeable, friendly, and more than willing to help out a stranger for nothing in return (even though I tried to give).

There was a minor issue with the ADB interface drivers as I have a Samsung laptop and a Samsung Galaxy S2 phone, so the driver was preceded by "SAMSUNG". It turned out to be the same thing though.

The ultimate problem turned out to be that I was using USB 3.0 ports instead of USB 2.0. Nowhere in the main literature or the beginners guide was there a warning that KFU does not seem to work over 3.0. We finally figured this out after building a ubuntu pendrive.

Anyway, MAKE SURE YOU USE USB 2.0.

AND THANKS TO THEPOOCH!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
I've read some vague references to the possibility that USB 3.0 ports might cause some problems. To my knowledge, nobody around here has done any real definitive testing to say that it's positively the cause for fastboot not working properly. Everything I've read says that USB 3.0 is backwards compatible to USB 2.0, but that's not to say that fastboot couldn't have some bugs in it.

I personally don't have any machines with USB 3.0 ports, so I can't say for certain either. If someone wants to give it a thorough testing and let me know what works and what doesn't, I'd be happy to update the beginner's guide so others can steer clear of it.

Based on your situation, it sounds like at least adb worked or you would not have been able to get into fastboot in the first place. Have you tried other things with adb like transferring a large file back and forth? Do any fastboot commands work or is it completely dead? Is it just Windows or does Linux recognize the KF in fastboot mode?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbrotherrex:
I'm using 2.0 USB, and had/have/having exactly the same problem.

I don't think that's the issue.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
On the contrary this in a static linux enviroment with udev rules set to perfection I executed multiple different commands multiple diferent ways it always got the same result waiting for device moved the kindle from 3.0 to a 2.0 bam everthing worked like a charm no longer waiting it was found. Why I dont know for sure but it indeed solved the problem. It was only a hunch that I had from hearing things about 3.0 ports directly related to what soulweeper went through:-)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yourbrotherrex:
Okay... That sounds like it definitely was YOUR issue; I'm saying that I'm on 2.0 also, (and they're working ports, tried multiple cables), and it's not recognizing it.... I must have a different issue, because the usb is good.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Not my issue lol the writer of the thread:-) try adding sudo before each standard command that could be YOUR issue:-) in linux of course after setting up a usb drive where you dont have to triffle with windows fickle drivers:-)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
I will try my very best to answer some of what your asking. It appears that 3.0 is ok with adb and has the ability to initiate fastboot but from there I believe its completely dead. There was clearly no comunication to or from the device after fastboot was set in windows or linux after moving to a 2.0 usb port all connections were opened as simple as flicking a switch. I even went as far as ignoring the lack of communication and followed through with the sequence of commands to restore normal boot without a single response from the kindle it was as if it wasn`t even plugged in. I have a feeling that in normal mode that adb will work fine but that could require further testing.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rainabba:
Incredible! Thank you for reporting this find. I don't use USB2 anymore except for my kb/mouse for the sake of BIOS so I never would have figured this out.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveselinger:
Updated method for fixing...

In case it's helpful, I just got through this myself. Running a Kindle Fire 1st Generation, 6.3.4 original Amazon OS.

The device is using Parallels on a Mac which doesn't make it too much harder, but actually adds an amazing level of debugging capability. I was able to use "system_profiler SPUSBDataType" to help determine if the Mac was detecting the Kindle but the Windows wasn't. What I found was that the first device to connect to Fastboot detected it, but every subsequent one did not. Therefore, I spent a lot of time rebooting the device, letting it sit for 1 minute, then booting it while connected. This took about 10 tries to get it to be recognized by the Mac and then by Parallels.

Furthermore, once the machine recognized it, I needed to get a driver loaded--the device was recognized but not matched with a driver. I was able to find some help from kinfauns :good: here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668159) which suggested I needed to modify the INF file. Apparently fastboot changed the device ID. I used Device Manager, clicked on the exclamation mark device Kindle, and found its hardware profile ID under Advanced (There were 2, one of which is "USB\VID_1949&PID_0006"). Then I modified the "[Amazon.NTx86]" section of android_winusb.inf to add the line "%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006", and updated the driver (under Device Manager pushed "Update Driver", selected "Manual" then the directory where the .INF file is). VOILA, the driver installed and the device was recognized and I was able to run the fastboot lines setting the bootloader, etc. One additional note at this point: "fastboot devices" never worked even once the device was recognized, so I proceeded anyway and was pleasantly surprised to see that the fastboot install commands worked.

Now on to getting OtterX installed using TWRP. Also thanks to SD Shadow for the helpful videos. :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] steveblue:
Does any know of good tangle free headsets where the controls work for the Note ( w/ or w/o additional software to remap the controls). I have realized, detangling a cord while driving is more dangerous than anything. Yes, bt wireless is another way to go, but I still like the always working solution of a tangle free wired cord in my pocket. Sony makes a great tangle free but it does not work for the Note.

Any suggestions appreciated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] seepage:
Pull over to untangle it or do anything else like that.

Or better still, untangle it before you set off.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Goodm7sn:
A jays one plus.. Tangle free.. Great quality . The single Button works for everything if u install their app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] steveblue:
to update my own post. I bought two since they were cheap.

As was just mentioned the

JAYS a-JAYS One+

is tangle free and has a special Android app to set the one button controller to anything. Strong reviews. $32 at amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006FTEDFI/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

I also bought

PureGear 36322PURE Pure Beats

also tangle free and on sale at amazon for $15 -has some good reviews, not sure I get all the note controls

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004X2623U/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00s

I will report back on both.

I also looked at:

the highly rated klipsch s4a made for android and higly reated , I pulled away from since most feel that is has a very tanglely sticky cord, nor good I guarantee

the controls fully work with the note ( I want skip track for sure) - there are more at $65-80

Many thought the tangle free and cheap NoiseHush NX80 were great for teh money $17 at amazon, but more ipod oriented - reports say even the apps do not allow good control remapping. They look cheap than the two I bought.

http://www.amazon.com/NoiseHush-NX80-11904-Handsfree-Stereo-Headset/dp/B007P238P0/ref=pd_sim_e_3

sony has these frankly stunning tangle free headsets sony livesound hifi - but from what I can tell they only work ( the controls that is) for the sony line of phones. If anyone gets them working with the Note let me know - they are look amazing.

http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10151&productId=8198552921666417248&langId=-1

There are bluetooth tangle free headsets - but did not look at them.

Feel free to add other tangle frees to this list to make it a useful thread int he future.

Hi all

Here's SRS audio effects for ICS, originally released for X8 and X10 by paul-xxx here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1582417

I own nothing for this except the modification of update.zip and a file inside (to get it working with Xperia arc).

This is a real sound enhancement, rather than the fake beats audio.

This should be working on stock ICS firmwares and stock-based ICS ROMs and it should be compatible with xLOUD.

It should also be compatible with other 2011 Xperia devices (those with xLOUD)

DO NOT INSTALL IF YOU HAVE SOUND ENHANCEMENT (THE WALKMAN ONE) THEY ARE INCOMPATIBLE.

What it contains:

- SRS WOW

- SRS TrueBass

- Android Equalizer

- Android Normalizer

- EQ Pressets

- SRS Panel (Patched MusicFX)

Requirements:

- Android 4.0.1 or above (NO Gingerbread)

- Root permission

- The following systems files

REMOVED

(if they exist):

-- 1. /system/lib/soundfx/ and remove libcyanogen-dsp.so

-- 2. /system/lib/soundfx/ and remove libbundlewrapper.so

-- 3. /system/app/ and remove DSPManager.apk

-- 4. /system/app/ and remove MusicFX.apk

Install it:

Method 1

Download the attached zip and flash it in CWM

The above 4 system files will be removed automatically.

Method 2

Download the attached zip and copy the content to /system/ with correct permissions.

NOTE!

If you find the SRS options are disabled, insert your headphone.

If you don't insert headphone it will look like this:

When headphone is inserted it will look like this:

SRS TrueBass requires

nice headphones/speakers

to attain bass enhancement.

With low-quality headphones/speakers it will only break the bass! With the stock headphones and the speaker of the phone you may not hear any improvement.

I tried and compared the effects with stock headphones and LiveSound, LiveSound sounded better than stock one.

Again, thanks to paul-xxx :)
