[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwmoon:
So I was using these instructions from PC World to get ICS on my Fire...

it wont let me add the link but if you google "pc world kindle fire ice cream sandwich" I'm sure you will find it...

I have done everything to the point where it has you install FIREFIREFIRE from the Fire. When I hit the install and swipe it says

*Verifying Filesystems...

*Verifying paritition sizes...

...and then I get no success message. I found this recommendation from someone else who was having a similar problem:

figured out my issue, you have to change the bootmode to normal

•Navigate to the “tools” subfolder.

•Type the following commands, one at a time:

•fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000

•fastboot reboot

When I try to do this I get a message saying < waiting for device >

I am stuck. Can anybody help me out?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
"fastboot reboot" doesn't work after you change bootmodes. Hold the power button until it shuts down.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwmoon:
The real problem is that I am not getting a success message when I try to install the FIREFIREFIRE zip. Any reason why I wouldnt get the success message?

Wait, don't do anything yet....
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
It doesn't give you the "success message" in the window where it outputs...

*Verifying Filesystems...

*Verifying paritition sizes...

The word "Successful!" will appear above the "Home" button. Look closely at the picture provided in the PCWorld article.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwmoon:
Yeah, I never have gotten the Successful! message. I am wondering if I should just move on and install the ROM or if that successful message is vital to continuing. Would like to not brick my fire if possible :)

btw these image verifcations to post are probably the hardest ones i've seen. have to refresh 7 or 8 times before I get one I can read.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
You should download a new copy of FFF and push it to your sdcard to flash BEFORE you reboot. If for some reason the bootloader only halfway finished and you reboot, it will hard-brick your device.

Ignore everything I said prior to this.

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

Thank you. I don't use the newer versions of TWRP so I had no idea. I just wanted to make sure he didn't screw everything up big time.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwmoon:
Well to be clear this is the step I am on:

Install a Custom Bootloader

You are well into the process now. Next, install the FIREFIREFIRE custom bootloader:

1. Take the FIREFIREFIRE Zip file and place it (still zipped) into c:\kfu\software. At this writing, the latest filename is called fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip.

2. Copy FIREFIREFIRE into the Kindle Fire's /sdcard directory:

adb push C:\kfu\software\fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip /sdcard/

3. On the Kindle Fire, press the Install button. Navigate to /sdcard if needed (you should already be there by default), and select fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip.

4. Swipe to confirm. You should get a success message

I have actually already rebooted the device, the first time I didn't hit the power button and it booted right back to stock, the 2nd time I did hit the power button and booted into recovery. I just put the fire zip on my device a few minutes ago...should I push a new copy again?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwmoon:
I guess what I really need to know is if I don't get the message "Successful" on installing the custom bootloader should I go ahead and continue to try to install the ROM and Google Apps? Or do I have to get the successful message in order for the subsequent steps to work. Like I said, I have rebooted the device and everything still seems to be working. I guess I am not really sure what the bootloader does?

Thanks for the help guys.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
IMHO, I think you're probably OK.

That zip file contains the bootloader image and a corresponding SHA1 checksum. The script that flashes the image verifies that checksum to confirm that the file is consistent and has not been corrupted. If the checksum is inconsistent with the calculated value of the image, the flash will not proceed. In that case, it will have left the original bootloader in place.

If you want to be safe, follow soupmagnet's suggestion to re-download the FFF zip file and try it again. If I was in your shoes, I'd probably just go ahead and try rebooting it, but use the Reboot->Recovery option to make sure I get directly back into TWRP. If you see a blue/white kindle fire logo during that reboot, you've flashed FFF.

EDIT: If you see the bootlogo I mentioned above and it's able to get into the system software or recovery at will... you're fine. Just continue with the ICS instructions.

If you want to learn more about the Kindle Fire, what you are doing and why you are doing it, read this...

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwmoon:
LOL. Now when I try to push the ROM and Apps to the device it just says

error: device not found

Maybe it just wasn't meant to be tonight. Haha.

You have been really helpful. I appreciate it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
You need to be booted into TWRP or the stock system software to be able to use adb push, but that's not the only way to copy the ROM over to the KF. You can mount the /sdcard with TWRP or even the stock system software and just copy it over from your computer. You can even just download it using the Silk browser... whatever it takes to just get the ROM zip file onto the KF. Then just boot back into recovery and install what you copied over.

Don't forget to download the appropriate GApps package and install that as well, so you can get access to Google Play. Read the instructions for the ROM you downloaded for information on what GApps package you need.

Hi Guys,

I made a boot animation by following some instructions i found. I made 10 jpg images and put them in a folder and made my desc.txt file and tried to put it on my phone. Im on newts one XxX and the boot animation file is VZW_qhd_bootanimation.zip.

I'll upload my file and maybe someone can tell me whats wrong with and help me fix it?

Thank you very much in advance
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
What exactly is the problem you're having? If it's a problem with looping the animation forever... some phones have problems with infinite loop setting in the desc.txt. Need to loop it only a few or 1 time.
[HTC Rezound] davidetkin511:
Its just black, no animation.. Could you tell me what my desc.txt should be if I have 10 jpgs?
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
One that I made for myself looks like this; it has 57 images in the VZW folder, but you can adjust accordingly:

720 1280 15
p 1 15 android
p 1 15 beats
p 1 90 VZW
[HTC Rezound] davidetkin511:
Thanks! But I don't see a 57 in there. What should I edit? Sorry Ive never made one
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Edit the last line. There isn't a 57 in there; I was just stating the boot animation that I made had 57 images in the folder whereas yours has 10.
[HTC Rezound] davidetkin511:
Okay Ill give it a try. Thank you for your help!
[HTC Rezound] davidetkin511:
I just cant get it to work for some reason.

I followed this exactly: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1096068

My desc file is

320 480 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

what could the problem be?
[HTC Rezound] carngeX:
Change the first line (resolution) to what I have.

the part0 and part1 are what your folder names are. Change that to what you named your folder(s).

Also, for the last folder (where you have your main animation), sometimes setting the loop to 0 (infinite loop till it loads), causes the animation to not work (go black), like I said before. Try setting the first number on the last line to 1, and change the last # to 90.
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
Make sure that the compression level for the zip file is set to "store" for each folder and all images inside the folders. May be easier to create a new zip.

Edit: Fixed it for you. You can play around with the speed by adjusting the numbers in the desc.txt. The 5 is frames per second.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rescue Wagon:
So, It slid off my lap and onto the floor. I had it in a Trident case, but the screen is black, but it rings and touch slide answer still works.

Now the million dollar question: Is it done? or is there something I can do to fix it?

If I can't fix it is there a way to restore it to stock, so I can get a warrant replacement?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adrioid:
What type of phone is it?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rescue Wagon:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
I'm assuming that it's done... you can replace the panel, but that's really hard and not recommended for people who never done this kind of stuff. Also FYI, If you dropped it and caused the problem, you gotta pay to repair.

If you still want to send it to Samsung stock, you can just reboot into bootloader and then just fastboot flash user data, recovery, and etc... assuming that you got a proper drivers installed and got everything set up....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rescue Wagon:
I tried using ToolKit v7.8, but I keep getting an error. I hit the volume up/down and power trying to get into fastboot, but I can't tell as the screen isn't working.

As for the warranty. There isn't any signs of damage as it was in a case, so how are they going to tell what caused the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Once they crack open the phone, they'll probably know. If they don't, you will be lucky enough to not to pay ;)

As for bootloader, do not use toolkit. Just don't. Many problems occurred because of the toolkit. If you feel the vibration when booting into the bootloader, you booted yourself into the bootloader. You can always check by typing "fastboot devices" on the command line on the computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rescue Wagon:
So, I'm in Fastboot now how can I reload the phone to stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
There's a sticky on Galaxy Nexus General forum, made by Efrant. I'll post the link asap

Wait, you got Verzion right? Then make sure to download the ICS mysid version, not yakju or takju!!!!! Hope you know what you're doing ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rescue Wagon:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Glad I replied before you flashed :relieved:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rescue Wagon:
Thanks for the help. I'm pretty sure its back to factor, but its hard to verify since the screen isn't working. The only assurance I have is that all the commands worked and then I locked the bootloader, so I think I'm good.

Homescreen Design Thread

I love to look at people's ideas when it comes to Android homescreens. Because Android is so completely customizable, you can do incredible things to make it look amazing! Here's and example of the kinds of things that should be in the thread...

So I know that there is a thread for homescreens already, but I wanted to make one that was for beautiful designs only. Just putting up a screenshot is alright, but giving it a body and background makes it even better. The idea is to get unique looking designs up to inspire others to design beautiful homescreens. In otherwords, this isn't for screenshots like this:

If you want a Psd template to get started, you can find one here - Htc Amaze Psd

I assume also done with your Rom?

[HTC Amaze 4G] craigtut:
Thanks! Its Apex Launcher Pro to get the widget overlapping as well as the red notifications. The black and blue edges are actually UCCW Clock widgets. Its a great app to make stylish homescreens. I've found it a little taxing on the battery and system speed though to have that many widgets running. :P

O and yes, it is Fourth Bar Jellybean. I've tried Cm9 but I found it to unstable to use as a daily driver. Plus Fourth Bar works almost flawlessly as Aosp aside from the Signal bars missing.

Visit the UCCW thread on XDA - You will be pleasantly surprised at all the work that has been shared there, it will give you more than enough time to figure UCCW out to make your own creations.

It's one of the top five threads on XDA as far as I am concerned :cool:

So I have been trying to deal with this for a while now... It all started on a normal day. I come home and see my sprint galaxy tab (with ics) with a little message on it. It said that encryption had failed. From then on the device would boot loop. I have already read through other threads and tried flashing, repartitioning, I have checked the error messages via adb and I am sure my internal storage is dead. I partitioned my microsd card with an ext4 and 2 fat32 partitions, then I flashed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1275031. Then I changed the vold.fstab to the appropriate thing. And it still boot loops. In cwm i cannot mount /cache, /data, /sdcard, or /sd-ext. I have downloading mode, recovery, and adb that I can use. I just cant seem to figure out what is going on.

None of stock ROMs r stable r smooth and I hate them.. in my opinion rooting n custom is the way to go.... when I was on ICS, I preferred revolver ICS ROM but android revolution HD is also very smooth n stable... I have moved onto jelly bean but since its in alpha/nightly versions its up to you..

I prefer easy flash to root and install recovery, please choose twrp or rogue recovery as they r better than cwm in my opinion...

For revolver n revolution you don't need any custom kernel as both run on stock kernel...
