Are you sure you typed that command correctly because the help menu comes up if a command is entered wrong, I just did it and it worked fine. When you enter a fastboot command for this device it has to have the- [-i 0x1949] after fastboot, that is a zero not an O. If that is not done it will boot normally

ie:

fastboot -i 0x1949 [command]

I've posted the update for the 8.9 restore tool in development section
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FroyoShark:
It could be because I have an older version of fastboot. Any chance you could upload the newest version for me?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onemeila:
Here you go:

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B4lZEJI5lYeMdzJobG5jSk9QSEk/edit

If you need to restore the system image though, you should just download the KFHD_SRTool from development section for 8.9 and follow the instructions. It has fastboot included in the tool.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogue07:
I've done the same thing with my kindle fire hd 7 (7.2.2 rooted, no TWRP), now its just stuck on the boot animation.

adb does not recognize the device. I tried using fastboot, (with the normal usb cable), it gets stuck with the '<waiting for device>' message.

The device manager does show the Kindle, but earlier it used to show 2 devices, a kindle and an adb composite

Were you ultimately able to solve this issue?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogue07:
Turns out, it was a driver issue. Installed the proper Amazon driver, then it was detected by the adb. From there on, I was able to replace the bad build.prop with my backup :D

My Kindle Fire 8.9" SW v.8.1.4 is completely dark and unresponsive as the result of an unsuccessful attempt to root using KF utility 0.9.6. I suspect results would have been different if I'd had the sense to locate your tool and use it instead. Having downloaded KFHD for v8.1.4, I have tried to get the tool talking with the brick, and see only < waiting for device > eternally. I have charged overnight, held the power button down for >20 sec. to make sure the device was off, then bumped the power button. This should assure that the device is on, but in Amazon's wisdom there are no LEDs to confirm this. Do you have any suggestions for getting the device in a communicative state? I am perfectly willing to open the case. Please forgive the post if this is not the right thread for it, and point me to the right spot if you can.

Same problem: KF 8.9" completely dead

I have exactly the same problem. This KFU-version seems to be a real KF 8.9"-killer.

My device does not respond to anything, regardless what I tried. Connecting to a PC does not trigger any response. The device is not recognized by the PC in any way. I believe that there is no USB-communication at all. I tried a factory-mode cable and this didn't work, too.

Any help would be appreciated, really!

Thanks and regards

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slimepuppy:
Add another brick to the pile. Fire HD 8.9. Already rooted, OTA defeated, and Google App'd, but wanted the security of FFF just in case. Planned to used KFU 0.9.6 to set fastboot and then push FFF 1.4a once in fastboot. Instead, used KFU 0.9.6 to automatically install FFF. It appeared that KFU pushed FFF and then sent a reboot. The machine never came back to life after that shutdown.

Attempting to get into fastboot results in eternally <waiting for device>

I removed the back - there are no obvious 'fastboot' pads on any of the boards as there is for the HD 7".

Does anyone think that a factory cable would get this thing's attention? edit...apparently not. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20380015&postcount=9

edit 2...built a factory cable and tried fastboot, KFHD Recovery tool, KFFirstAide, KFU, and Linux Fire Kit. Nothing can see the device on the other end of the USB cable.

Well...there's always a 'motherboard' swap. Sigh.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggggeo:
Another one bites the dust...but hopefully not

Hi guys,

I tried the KFFirstAide tool to root my Fire 8.9, but after it ran, it just wipes red and then goes to the fastboot screen after powering up. I've used the KFHD SRT tool to replaced the system.img file, but still the same thing happens. Is it possibly because I need to restore the boot.img and recovery.img (which KFFirstAide overwrites) as well? And if so, does someone have a clean copy of those that will work with 8.1.4? Thanks!

KFHD_SRT

anyone have a working link for KFHD_SRT? i can get into TWRP and into fastboot mode, but simply trying to boot results in a black screen after the blue kindlefire logo
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootedkfirefan:
Wait don't do it!

I hope you didn't swap motherboards... Like user onemeila stated, you do not need a fastboot cable on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. Just make sure that before you enter the command "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" that your Kindle is off and plug into the factory cable. Enter the command and wait for the message <wating for device>. Then turn on your kindle and you should boot into fastboot mode. If you see the fastboot screen on your kindle and Jem-PVT-Prod-04 in the command terminal, there is hope. The only problem I encountered is after each command, sometime it won't respond. So you might have to do one command, let it finish it's process. If the next one doesn't work, turn off the kindle enter "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" command. Turn on the kindle and proceed with the next command to restore your kindle.

The way the device is setup, it's very hard to completely ruin the device.

Also read this page for reference by hashcode http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175 and make sure to thank him. He helped me get my device going no problem. The top and bottom of the page should apply to you. If you need additional help let me know.:cool:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onemeila:
You are pretty much screwed. Sorry to tell you. You've flashed over the bootloader, the problem is with one that doesn't work. So your device won't even boot into fastboot no matter what you do. There was a way to do it on the original KF by removing the back and grounding the usb boot pad, then you could usbboot cmds to install the bootloader. But I'm not sure if it will work or ever been tested on this device. Good Luck, look on the bright side you can turn it into an extremely thin planter box, that still serves no purpose

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cal_ab:
I've purchased a couple Android "TV Boxes" and was shocked to learn that none of the supplied software will play media from SMB/Samba/Windows shared network locations.

My boxes are running Android 4.0x, A9 single core at 1Ghz, Mali400 GPU's, 512MB + 8GB or 1GB + 4GB of memory.

Purchased them from DX.COM... sku 145311 and 157734 (I can't post URLs here)

Just a few of the apps I've downloaded and tested:

- XBMC: Used on my PC's, but too heavy for the Android boxes I have.

- BSPlayer

- Buzz Player

- MX Player

- Mobo Video Player

- Dice Player

- Movie Browser HD

- mVideo Player

Most of these don't support Windows shares very well, or are not user friendly.

Are there any decent media player applications that will do the following?

- Play media located on Windows or Samba shares

- Provide a simple interface so my kids won't get confused

- Play video, audio and pictures

- Possibly link to Netflix and/or YouTube accounts

- It would be great if it were a "launcher" app

Basically, I want a launcher type interface that operates like this:

- I add icons to the main screen.

- The icon can be associated with one or more local folders and/or windows network shares.

- The icon can have rules set to show or hide files and folders that..

- have a specific filename extension (.avi, .mp3, .jpg, etc...).

- that are hidden.

- files of a specific type.

- When the icon is clicked, show the contents of the associated that...

- Match the rules set up for the icon.

- Show thumbnails for files or folders, if available. (use folder.jpg for folder icons, for music or video, locate a .jpg/.png/etc. with the same filename as the movie or music file.

- Allow browsing folders with the same rules as the parent icon.

Alternately, does Android provide any way to set up a Windows share to look like a locally mounted device? This would make some of the players I've found more workable.

I know I'm being pretty specific, but I know what my wife and kids want when it comes to watching movies and playing music.

Any suggestions or ideas are welcome!

I do program... and if I were an Android developer I would try and whip up something. If anyone has pointers for developting an app with wifi, smb shares, ui and playing media on Android, please let me know!

Nova Video Player accesses SMB/NFS shares, plays everything (beating Kodi), is fast, reads subtitles. It has a library view, which however is rudimentary and fails to render series (instead you get episodes dropped all over the place).

[HTC Droid DNA] MohJee:
Could be a defective sim card. I think most carriers replace them for free.
[HTC Droid DNA] bwhite757:
Well, just an update. Took it to the VZW store this morning as I had a message on the lock screen "PUK locked, contact customer support". They replaced the SIM card at the store, and away I went. About an hour later, bam, no SIM card error again. Took it back to the store and they replaced the device and got yet another SIM card with that phone. Been 4 hours now with no problems. Hopefully all is good now...

[HTC Droid DNA] tehknics:
Mine just did it for the first time (got it 2 days ago). Restarted it to fix. Hoping that it doesn't happen again... fingers crossed!
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
Well, I guess that means your first one didn't make it a week either, considering the release date was less than 10 days ago.

I had the SIM Card error happen to me again yesterday morning, also. Unfortunately, I don't think keeping this phone is in my foreseeable future. To be quite honest, to the naked eye, I really can't see a visable difference between this phones screen, and the S3's screen anyways. Even the Maxx HD for that matter. Next, because of the lack of an external SD card, and capped off with an unremovable battery, these basic features that are lacking have sold me on a pass of the DNA. Yesterday, I was on the road, and my battery died around 6PM (~10 hours). Usually, I could swap a battery at this time and keep going. Instead, I was swapping my SIM card TO ANOTHER PHONE just to keep going. That's when I realized I can't keep using the DNA as a reliable business tool.

Sorry HTC, you missed the mark on this gorgeous device. So close. Like putting snow tires on a Ferrari...
[HTC Droid DNA] soukie:
It happened to me twice ''No SIM card" error. :(
[HTC Droid DNA] DonBrizzel:
I had this issue a few times in the beginning as well. Took the phone to the Verizon store and they couldn't make heads or tails of it. I popped the sim out, gave it a cleaning with an eraser, and popped it back in, pushing it in as hard as I could with my thumb and haven't had the issue since.

I noticed that it happened a lot if I were to bang on the top of the phone, sort of like packing a pack of cigarettes. It was almost like the SIM card wasn't all the way in and when the phone got jarred a little, the sim would move just enough to cause the error.
[HTC Droid DNA] cowisland:
My wife and I both have the DNA. She has been having the no SIM card problem for a couple of days. Just swapped the sim card today at a Verizon store, hoping the problem goes away.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
Unfortunately, I've tried that. I've had a SIM card error pop up in the middle of the nite while it's on it's charging pad without touching it.
[HTC Droid DNA] paulguy:
mine has done it a couple times, but usually when I'm in an area for a period of time where it's struggling to get signal. Like at my house when the weather was poor and it was usually on 0-2 bars is when it happened the first time, then when I was in town some place for a while where there were a lot of other phones and signal usually shows 3-4 bars, but still has poor connectivity is when it happened the second time.
[HTC Droid DNA] bwhite757:
OK question for those that have gotten the error, did you happen to change your preferred network from Global to LTE/CDMA? Reason I asked was because this is the only thing I remember changing about 5-7 hours prior to seeing the error message on both DNA's. I changed back to Global, popped the SIM card out and back in, and haven't had an error since Friday now. And it was bad Friday, probably happened 6-7 times.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
Haven't touched those settings. No need to, for me.

Also happened again for the 4th time this morning.
[HTC Droid DNA] Psycolist:
Swapped from Global to LTE/CDMA and back again a few times, pulled and reinstalled the SIM Card a few times, still receiving "No SIM Card" errors along with the more recent "No PUK Code". The errors happen while siting still, driving around, and even while on my charger at night. Called Verizon Tech Support and was told that they have gotten quite a few calls on this issue and that I need to swap out the SIM Card, (like others have done) and if the problem continues, they will replace it with a new one. The smallish battery life and no SD Card slot have me on the edge, so if this is a serious issue, my DNA will be DOA.
[HTC Droid DNA] MRMonaco:
I've had my phone since the release date, and this issue started to show for the first time yesterday afternoon (only once). Since then, it has happened another 3 times today. As others have mentioned, a restart typically fixes the problem. Most recently, I decided to pull the SIM and reinsert it, versus restarting again. It took a minute or two for it to register, but the error finally went away. If it shows up again tomorrow, I'm going to head over to a local store for another card.

No, I have not touched any of the network settings, not unlocked, and have not rooted it yet.
[HTC Droid DNA] bwhite757:
Ok, it may just be a weird coincidence, but...

1st DNA- Started seeing the No SIM Card error on Friday after I bought it on Wednesday. Got the PUK Code locked error message on Saturday and took it back to Verizon, Exchanged for a new device.

2nd DNA- Worked all week without issue until Friday, started seeing "No SIM Card" errors again, followed by PUK Code locked on Saturday. Dealt with it because I was unable to get to a VZW store, the errors finally stopped around 5pm on Saturday.

I went through the week without any errors again, then yesterday I got 2 "No SIM Card" errors again. Woke up this morning with the PUK Code locked message. I just got off the phone with VZW (as I'm 60 miles from the nearest VZW store), and they are next day airing me another DNA and SIM card.

The guy on the phone said that there is a known issue with the DNA's and they are working on a fix (I take that with a grain of salt). He asked if I would like to switch to another device because I've had the same problem with 2 of them now, and I said I would give it another shot, I REALLY love this phone, and would hate to give it up, but I can't continue to deal with this problem.

Just thought it was weird that I'm only seeing the issue around the same time on the same days of the week.
[HTC Droid DNA] t1gartist:
you could also call vzw get them to tell you your imei and puk numbers so you can just reunlock if it happens i had it happen one time and i got my numbers unlocked i havnt had a repeat yet maybe this can help you all out also?

I have had this happen twice also been alright for 4 days now
[HTC Droid DNA] G-Nexus:
I have the exact same problem, but I think i have found the semi-solution for myself.

I live in Melbourne Australia, the carrier is vodafone.

I selected GSM/UMTS option, but check UMTS ONLY, and i have not got the error even since. The "only" problem I have now is, it would not reconnect to vodafone data network after a Wifi connection, so i need to get into a flight first and land quickly to get the data back to work.
[HTC Droid DNA] Link1019:
so simple...why didn't we all think of it? just settle for inferior specifications instead of maybe a car charger for $8.
[HTC Droid DNA] FlyingCaveman:
I had the error a few time and when I reset there was always a system app that updated. I wanna feel that have the play store on auto update has something to do with it. Turned off auto update and haven't had an issue for about 2 weeks now. No SIM card reset, no replace phone.... Weird.
[HTC Droid DNA] jrt8587:
I have experienced the Missing SIM issue once, yesterday around 8 pm. A reboot solved the problem (for now). Here's to hoping it doesn't recur.

On a potentially unrelated point, I had toggled my cellular setting from Global to LTE/CDMA and back again. That was a few days ago, so I don't think it's related, but we'll see.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
You sound bitter. You must have missed the deadline to return yours...

A car charger on the bus? In the airport? On the plane? Awesome rebuttal. I award you 10 points. Feel better now?

Please tell me what NOTICEABLE features I have sacrificed with this UPGRADE to the RAZR MAXX HD. I have owned both phones, and I tell you the ONLY thing I miss from the DNA are the arrows on the keyboard.

Good luck to you as I'm confident you'll look stylish crossing the country with your fanny pack full of car chargers, wall chargers, flash drives & micro USB adapter cables.

As previously stated, I accept the DNA has better specifications, but it's not something you can actually see, feel or experience over the RAZR MAXX HD when equipped with the right launcher and apps.

By the way, I'm sending this response to you on hour 18 of my battery after HEAVY usage today with max screen brightness. Oh and there's still 21% battery remaining which would easily last til tomorrow morning. 32 hours is not uncommon with this phone.

I'd be willing to bet that you'll likely get this message while stuck within 4 feet of an electrical outlet.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Your argument is like trying to argue that your prius is better then my Porsche because of gas mileage. If you don't have a gas station anywhere near your house then it may be better for you, but most people will take the awesomeness that is a Porsche over the 1 thing the prius has better, the gas mileage.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
I wouldn't be caught dead in a Prius.

By the way, I have now acknowledged on 3 occasions that the DNA has superior specifications, though after using it, I simply don't notice the difference vs the RAZR MAXX HD. My utter frustration with the DNA is the lack of a removable SD card, and limiting it to only 16gb of internal memory. The lousy battery life was just the tipping point.

By the way, with these major lacking features, it's like that Porsche your referring to has been equipped with snow tires and a luggage rack. Nice car...
