Ok now for the disclaimer I am in no way responsible for any damage to your device changes in hair style or permanent facial twitches from incorrectly performing this procedure.. That being said be extremely careful not to be fumbling around inside a device with metal objects while connected to usb power...

To boot linux from the USB power off the computer... insert the usb then turn the computer on it should boot by itself if it does not power your computer off, then turn back on hit esc at first screen ,select f9 for boot menu, then select your usb drive to boot from. ...Let the system load it takes a bit the first time around. when its done connect your wireless network if your computer is not hardwired to the net. ...Open a terminal type

soupkit.sh

hit enter that will launch soupkit menu. I believe its selection 5 to launch pokey9000`s firekit this will unpack the tools you only have one command that is gonna do the job for you copy paste this in the terminal

usb_fix_parts_and_install_fff_twrp

hit enter it will say something to the affect of " fixing parts waiting for omap44"plug one side of the usb to the computer to have it ready , brace your kindle against something to hold it in place.. with your kindle completely powered off short the test point with a paper clip or a large safety pin, test point shown here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19762674&postcount=51 short it to the small raised metal frame located right next to the test point itself while simultaineously plugging the other side of the usb to your kindle while keeping good contact with your shorting... if you do it right you should see a bunch of text go by the terminal keep it shorted till it finishes.. I believe it runs 4 stages to your kindle and you should be able to enter twrp to mount your sdcard and flash a new rom... Truthfully I think you should just confess to your parents what has happened and ask if they will help you buy a factory cable because its far safer and easier to fix that way...you mentioned something about cm10 after flashing update.zip didnt quite get what you did but cm10 device changes could prevent this from even working... just sayin....

so ur saying that i may not be able to fix? Here is what i did. My back up Update.zip didnt have fff or twrp on it and i accidently restored update.zip.. after i realized i just restored that... i didnt think that would hurt anything so i went on and restored what i meant to restore.. cm10.. i guess after installing update.. it wiped out fff and twrp.. i tried to get twrp back... couldnt... because i couldnt find twrp for rooted kindle fire galaxy nexus.... i got frustrated after a week.. thought since that the systems file is the file that holds the rom.. then if i deleted it.. i would delete the rom and get my stock kindle back...................bad idea... everything started to force close so i rebooted and now is stuck on backlit screen after about 5 seconds of orange kindle fire logo...and it sucks.. if i ever get refund.. imma just gonna get the new ipod touch....and jailbreak that......

I would not recommend getting an iPod Touch and jailbreaking it because, if you can not follow simple directions, you can't jailbreak an iPod. Besides, the Kindle is better.

I have a better idea... why don't you just ask your parents to help you unbrick it, they might be able to follow Kindle Fire For Beginners.

[General Questions and Answers] Danney92:
Hello everybody,

Excuse me, for my bad english. Maybie it will not be perfect :laugh:

I want to buy a tablet. So far so good. Only I am totally unsure of what I should buy me.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 rooted, custom rom So the full program. And I had a long time before Apple's iPhones and iPod Touch.

I have been following the threads on Android and iOS. So I know the pros and cons of Android and iOS.

Now I have of course, once the Apple iPad 3 wifi (I want the tablet for home) in the head. With me in the work (even authorized by Apple! Relatively wide range), I try it. It's awesome. Although the hardware is not top, and without jailbreaking the iPad is very close, but it just runs everything perfectly, and I in Android, sometimes significantly miss is the quality of the apps in each store.

But even with the Android manufacturers not or never sleeps.

Now there are dozens of different Android tablets, different expensive on each with different software or androidversion run etc. etc.

My favorite is only once (!) The Samsung Galaxy 10.1, which is only discourages me the low resolution of the display, I think for today's times, and for such a tablet too little. There are hardly any custom roms, and it is more expensive than the iPad 3 Wifi 16GB.

So now I need your help.

What should I take? an iPad 3 16 GB WiFi, or an Android tablet? If so, which Android tablet?

With Android tablets, it is important for me to have a 10-inch screen, which is open to custom ROMs, and it also has the best such a big Cummunity like the Galaxy S2.

What about the apps? There are many good apps for Android Tablets? Or because of the backing store still lags badly behind? The Apple App Store has really good apps, a quality that I miss sometimes in Android, and there are many apps that are designed to fit the iPad. There are many apps for Android tabs, and how is the quality?

The prices should be like the iPad 3 16 GB WiFi, or like the Samsung galaxy note to be 10.1.

As I said, I was also very "in love" with the iPad 3, and with me in the work (yes Apple are authorized), there are over next week, even 10% off on all Apple products.

I desperately need help / advice from you. With the iPad 3, everything is clear, but there are so many Android tablets ....

Thank you apologize in advance, Dani.

I just got a sgs2.. and well the aosp game is kinda ridiculous on this device... props to the devs who's provided the options they were able to on this device but where are the rest of the roms at?

expect to see some more aosp comin from me here in the next month or so

EDIT

JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS I MEANT NO DISRESPECT AT ALL.. I EVEN CREDITED THE DEVS WGO BROUGHT SOME GREAT ROMS TO THIS DEVICE.. I just want people to know I'm here to bring more to the table.. I'm guessing there is a major hurdle to overcome to bring aosp to this device since I'm not seeing a lot of it.. but I'm up for the task.. and I'll simply let my work speak for itself..

If you have an issue bring it to my attention but please dont harass me for stating that I wanna contribute to this device.. I don't want a bad rep at all and I hope you all will enjoy the work I produce
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clide whit:
Only complaint on AOSP roms is that data speeds don't seem to be up to par compared to stock Touchwiz. Hopefully once Samsung releases the latest ICS source things get better since FI03 fixed the slow 4g speeds that haunted previous ICS builds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
CM9 WITH FI03 modem gives me awesome speeds, stabilty, and battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
3g speeds are the same on aosp and touchwiz. Its 4g that's different. I would suggest sbrissens build.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clide whit:
Everyones different though, just for me I tried them all (ran AOSP roms for the last 3-4 months), 3g seems a lot better on Twizz especially at work where it's a very low signal area. And 4g is no contest between the two.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
So since my post mysteriously vanished... I'll sum it up for those that missed it.

Our devs are working hard to get us official cm status, we have many aosp options to choose from already, we have many more roms coming with all the work chris41g is putting into development for our device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
I dont release half of my roms because I focus more on one but show me a sprint device with more recent aosp than us besides the flagships that are basically included in aosp to begin with. think sprint will let you exchange your device for one with a community you can respect for a few months til you're ready. Maybe including some aosp options will provide somewhat a better understanding of ur purpose for this thread.

I was expecting to see some kind of positive feedback to see how interested people were in seeing more aosp not people trippin the EFF out.. I have a feeling that this is gonna be like the og evo threads all over again.. everyone's on such a defensive stand point!

I have to say this thread kind of confuses me .. I understand it got off to a bad start , but IMO after Papa Smurf stepped in and the OP was edited the point seems clear to me.. When did more become not better . I am a big fan of the AOSP work we have and regularly flash around the options our DEVS have put all their work into, but I see no reason why more different options would hurt at all. I do think that had the OP posted ROMS first before this thread no one would be complaining about something new and fresh to try out alongside the ones we all enjoy already.

thats just my 2 cents
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Exit_Only:
There is also Jellybro Euroskank CM10 Port on rootzwiki. Just saw it posted up a day or so ago. While its not a source built ROM it is still a Aosp based ROM option for users. This device has enough aosp options to make users happy in my humble opinion. Thanks goes to all the AOSP/CM developers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evol4g:
All im saying is that there's more roms that others have put a lot of work into that people deserve to see. I'm not saying there isn't enough by any means.. Idk why yall have a problem with someone offering to contribute to the community.. I credited the devs who have done the work they have.. And i never said you were missing features Id just like to contribute some work around here.. And if you cant understand that you don't have good social skills my friend
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evol4g:
Thank you.. I've never seen so many people opposed to seeing some new roms...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] roadlust:
more better is better than more

I think the problem you're facing is that because all this hard work (on custom roms) is put up here by the developers for everyone to use for free, they have very little tolerance for "complaints."

I personally don't really feel entitled to "complain" that none of the JB builds on XDA for this phone have fixed the volume issues for instance (among others) because I haven't contributed time or money to "fixing" them.

None of the current available JB builds on XDA (that I'm aware of) for this phone are "finished" enough for me to actually use as a replacement for the latest stock ICS TW, even though I'd love to have a custom JB rom on my screen. But I'm not gonna demand that somebody give me flawless free software either.

So if you can make a JB build that rivals factory TW in terms of "bugs," I'd be the first one in line to download it.

If not, you can get why some people might be irritated at talk that makes it sound easy to do.

Here's hoping you (or anybody) actually gets it done.
