I haven't tried this from my Windows pc to find the driver I will try and look this evening too see if I can get it working.

Ok

if you have drivers already installed and were working before cm10 try

goto device manger

right click

update driver software

browse my computer for driver software

let me pick from a list

browse to kindle fire hd drivers in program files

and select android_winusb.ini

and then select android adb interface

should now work

@hasdcode said:

Development for the KFire HD 8.9 is progressing rather nicely to my point of view. I just haven't released anything yet.

I'm working on Android 4.2.1. And the kernel is fully migrated to 3.0.50 (which matches AOSP kernel/common)

Right now I have display running a newer version of the gfx blit system + powervr libs built for jellybean, bluetooth, hw accelleration, and sensors.

I'm currently updating the wifi driver to match AOSP, and then I need to troubleshoot codecs/camera, graphics memory allocation and audio.

Almost every facet of the device is running updated drivers.

Do you think it can be compatible with KF 7' ? and we should develop from 4.2.1 anh rom of 8.9...

thanks you very much..

Mery christmas..
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] mrkhigh:
Huthalove...

The 8.9 is what is primarily being looked at then I believe rev is tweaking that over...it'll most likely be a joint effort of the 7 and 8.9 builds that gets both sides to completion

At least thats how I understand this is happening...

Be patient it will come, but I dont think it will be for christmas just yet...

new cwm.img (recovery.img)

here's an early christmas present i have fixed up an issue with recovery.img so that you can just use you sdcard partition instead of pushing files to cache , HO HO HO Merry Christmas
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tamoquera:
Cheers! And thank you for all your effort!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] smirkis:
thanks!

will having this recovery installed prevent amazon auto updates possibly?

and am i missing something? i thought the bootloader was locked. whenever i try to fastboot -i 0x1949 boot cwm.img it says it sent, then just reboots fastboot. am i missing a step? going to use your app to install it, but i like doing this manually lol

edit, well that didn't go so well either. i downloaded your cwm and put it at the root of the sdcard. opened your app, hit install cwm.img and it said installed. hit reboot recovery and it just keeps flashing at the kindlefire boot screen.

edit2, not sure whats going on. i flashed back to stock, it booted back up fine. fastboot flashed your cwm and it said sent/flashed and when i reboot it seems to be reflashing the stock recovery again? keep getting a red triangle asking me to restore defaults or reboot. i want cwm on here so it wont update its self anymore as im giving this to my dad for christmas tomorrow.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Huuthaolove:
thanks you very much..

merry christmas and happy new year 2013...

Best wish for all..:fingers-crossed:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] reverendkjr:
That is correct. I am taking the 8.9 stuff and tweaking it to work on the 7. As their work progresses, they share it with me and then I fix it and share it with you.

I hava a question:

Could you tell me why to installation process is so complicated and why we should have a special cable?

Is our KFHD blocked by sth?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Huuthaolove:
because it can make brick your device, and you need factory cable to restore your device. if you afraid, you shouldn't do it...

CM10 is in development, it's not perfect.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jb2kred:
Sorry that you are not having much luck

is your device rooted

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot cwm.img

will flash the recovery to your device but it will be overwritten on normal boot

on my device i fixed this issue by

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 /system

cd system

mv recovery-eng.img recovery-eng.bak

mv recovery-prod.img recovery-prod.bak

mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 /system

then flash recovery it should not be overwritten as there is a script which checks on boot to checksum isntalled recovery and reinstalls from system partition

i think there is an issue with my app and i will try and fix this asap.

opps my fault i forgot to get the app to change system to rw and back again to ro as my system was always set to rw
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] smirkis:
thanks I'll try the updated app. I renamed both of those manually and it always hangs at the kfire logo when I rebooted to recovery. I'll try again and report back

edit: no go. get stuck in a bootloop after flashing it and trying to boot to it. I had to use my fastboot cable and reflash the stock recovery for it to boot. damn
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jb2kred:
as a last resort you could try flashing

the recovery to

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -i 0x1949

fastboot flash boot recovery.img -i 0x1949

fastboot flash system recovery.img -i 0x1949

this is what rev suggests in his blog

this will overwrite boot and system please make a backup of both this will cause the device to boot reovery instead of using reboot recovery
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Huuthaolove:
no change...boot loop
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] daweeze02:
So as of now you can only do this Linux right?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] daweeze02:
I tried using the apk a few pages back and got boot loop lol. It's all good my cable from china will be here in like 6 months and I will fix it hehe.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] smirkis:
I was able to do it from windows. just gotta move the commands around.

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash partition file.img

I just want to wait for a more stable version.

and if u reboot to recovery it just keeps cycling in a bootloop if it isn't the stock recovery. I had to use my fastboot cable to get out of it. stupid amazon and no button combo in the bootloader lol

this device needs a custom bootloader just as hashcodes on the original fire. I gave mine to my dad but I'm sure he's gonna call me after amazon pushes another update.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] reverendkjr:
Give it time. All of the goodies will eventually become available.

I just use the one from my galaxy s3. any micro usb cable should work just fine. if you are looking for a fastboot cable, look up SkOrPn (he's a user on the forums) he sells fastboot cables. they are trustworthy, and you support the community instead of china.

I would like to start by saying THANK YOU for all your hard work please keep it up, if there's anything I can do to help please let me know as I been creating/customizing Rom's since the G1 days. Seeing how this is my shiny new toy it will be getting all my attention. This tablet is awesome I must say I never would have considered one before or given it much thought , but seeing as am broke and my folks bought one for me and my kids each there own kindle fires, I wouldn't have bought anything else this thing is a sleeping giant, a beast, the screen and sound and hardware are all super nice even from a nerd standpoint like mine. I'm glad to be apart of this new tablet experience. Keep up the great work. Thank you for given Rom junkies like me there fix.

Remember to give THANKS when THANKS are due.

What's the difference between that and the one that came with the kindle?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Reflexdarky:
if you bothered to read the previous posts you would see that a factory cable has pin 4 connected to pin 1 which puts the device in fastboot mode

---------- Post added at 02:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

I understand your confusion. Here's some clarity on it, the factory cable you need is the cable that they use at the Amazon factory (different then what cable came in your kindle box) they look the same on the outside but internally they are different. They use a different cable to transfer data on your blank slate kindle before it is shipped. The one that comes with it can transfer data but doesn't allow you to access the bare bone of the OS,Recovery and etc on your kindle. I understand why a different cable is needed in this circumstance, just hope I explained it so it can make since to you and others who were wondering. Long story short buy the cable Rev linked a few post back. Hope this help, best of luck hope you enjoy flashing you kindle Fire HD 7" :D

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Krsmqn:

God knows I have asked for help understanding things from many people smarter then myself on XDA. Thanks again.

Rev I can't wait for a stable release to drop, to unlock the hiding power of this device. I'm just glad I got a new toy to play with. :)

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Krsmqn:
Not you bud.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jacewt:
I do think that if you don't know what a factory cable is, you may want to be patient and wait for the stable cm10 and recovery.

I have a factory cable and I am just going to wait. A rooted kindle fire is more than enough for me right now. I don't want a bricked, KF.

The work so far seems to be for people who know how to get themselves out of a jam.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] tamoquera:
I agree. If you aren't a developer waiting could be a good idea. I bought a factory cable just in case...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
Hello there! I was wondering if it is possible to port sense ui from htc to xperia s.

I've read many threads about porting and also porting sense. Found this guide on xda:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1707177

But i had some issues. I tried CM9.1 as Base and one v rom as port rom (extracted ruu and copyed over some folders)

-> didn't boot... i had no problems while flashing... but then there just came a stock android bootscreen logo but nothing happend.

I wasn't sure about which device would fit the best for porting and how to get started the best.

Would be nice to get some help! :)

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
You want only the UI or the whole Sense?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
Full sense!

I know its hard to do it but i really like sense!

And i think its worth it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Indeed it is really hard. You'd have to get a dev that would want to have such a big job...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
Which devs do we have for xperia s?

And who would do this?^^

Do you have xperience with porting Roms?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
There aren't many, mostly none wants to do it and I don't have experience. I can't badly change a png myself without my phone almost exploding.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
Thats Bad/ sad.

I know sense is very complex

I would try to do it myself for the beginning but i dont have much experience.. all i need would be some information on how to get started and which device would make 'sense' to port sense from.

But i also know i can't do it alone. Sadly I dont have the knowledge.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I think the Sensation HD would be a good choice. I don't know if it has the latest Sense, but it is the closest HTC device to ours (basically, it is the same thing with different design and UI)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
Alright..

For porting, do i have to use a stock Rom or can i also try to port a custom Rom of the HTC sensation or would that make it harder?

And if i use a stock Rom, do i have to extract the Rom from a ruu or are there other ways to get stock Rom?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
I think any custom Sense should do.

Sorry, don't know anymore :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
Would be amazing to make this possible !

Okay but thanks :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] da_muffin:
you could just google for "htc sensation hd stock rom", there are so many sources serving the stock roms.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DekinGBar:
Of this is really that simple everyone would do it,but unfortunatly it's not :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
I know that there are many sources but i've never seen a stock rom as zip file .

You always have to download ruu and then extract firmware and kernel files..

But at least it is not the Problem to get a stock Rom
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
I think i can help you here

If you were stuck at bootscreen, then replace the android_servers.so in system/lib of the ported rom with the android_servers.so file of original rom(i.e. rom made for xperia s)

Let me know if its working or not and if possible can you send me a link of your ported rom..

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
I use stock HTC Sensation ROM (Port) and FXP cyanogenmod 9.1 (Base).

i copied over keylayouts and keychars from Base into Sense.

also i copied the boot.img and saved the boot.img from sense rom.

i extracted the sense kernel but i can't extract the kernel from cm Rom.

in that case i can not edit the init.rc file :(

plz help
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] samuel2706:
As for the boot.img, you need to get a kernel developer to take a look at that and see if he can merge some fixes but it "should" boot if it doesn't then check why it's going wrong.

EDIT:

Also have you checked the build.prop and merged all the fixes over from there? whats the resolution as well? also you need to sort out the drivers for example the lib gl and things like that, use the porting guide i made, then just experiment.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
But isn't your guide for porting from sense to other sense devices or will this also work for me?

I'm going to restart and using your tutorial.. :)

logcat says nothing at the moment, cuz i can't even flash it to my device..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
He's an close friend and a well known Sense developer. Trust him.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
i trust him! no doubt.

but i've got some more questions

while porting i recognized that some files that i should copy over are not available in xperia rom... so i left the files from sensation rom.

next, when i try to flash it it says:

assert failed: write_raw_image("tmp/boot.img" , "boot")

E: Error in /sdcard/sense.zip

(status 7)

I've read it has something to do with mount points in updater script?!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] samuel2706:
Yes you will need to change the Mount block to correspond with your device.

Sent from my Lumia 920
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
According to Dark Passion Updater Script, the Mount point for system is "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12" and for boot is "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3". I can be wrong, though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
could you explain more in detail how to do that or what exactly i have to do? because I'm really insecure here.

i used the stock updater-script from sensation rom and modified it a bit.

now i get error (status 6) in cwm recovery while flashing

i uploaded the 3 scripts:

- my modified one

- sensation rom script

- cyanogenmod script

EDIT:

The Error is now fixed and i can properly install the .zip

When i try to boot it, i got stock at the kernel logo. I can not boot the rom, I don't even see a bootscreen!

Do I have to edit something in the kernel?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] samuel2706:
Have you tried to get into adb? also is the system partition big enough to store the system?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
How much is a Sense ROM? We have 1 Gb for it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
(I don't know how to use adb or how it works.)

Should be 1GB

My Rom has 233MB (packed) and 384MB (unpacked)

The System Folder is 346MB.

I connected Phone to Pc during installation and started adb.

(Attached Picture)

adb can't find anything...

On Phone i see the kernel logo.. after it gives notification and then i got stuck at kernel logo. no bootscreen, nothing. just the cm9 kernel logo.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] samuel2706:
There is your problem then, system folder isn't big enough, take some apps out or put them on /data if you don't know how to use adb then i suggest you learn it'll help you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lenniz:
I already copied stuff to data...

How large the system folder can be?

Is it enough when i'm under 300 MB?

And which files i can put to data without getting errors?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
No, Sam, you got it wrong. Our system partition is 1 Gb, and the final ROM he made has 346 Mb.

Space isn't a problem for us. We usually have 400 Mb left after a Sony ROM installation (which has, sometimes, almost 700 Mb).

i used all the files that you wrote in your tutorial and copied them to system/bin and system/lib

are there probably more/different files i have to copy on xperia device?

Currently even I am trying to port sense from HTC One XL to the Xperia S. I am following this guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2245786

I had tried porting from One X initially but gave up because there were too many incompatible libs [XS is Qualcomm and One X is Tegra 3]. It would be difficult to port it to S3 since there is no HTC phone with an Exynos chipset with the same resolution. Good luck though:good:
