Kindle Fire First Aide

FatedBoot,

The utility Rekindle is design for the original Kindle only. If you are looking to restore you Kindle HD 7, Kindle HD 8.9 or the Kindle 2 you may use our utility that takes about 3 to 5 minutes to restore the Kindle. Here is a link to Kindle Fire First Aide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

If you would like information about making your own Factory USB Cable, the information can be found here on Post Number 164: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37187390&postcount=164

This pictures to solder the board are for the original Kindle not the new Kindles. Finally, you do NOT want to solder the board on these models since every time you plug in to change the device, it will boot into Fastboot.

We have full site and phone support, so if you find yourself stuck, just post a question or if you have a serious problem, give us a call.

pyraxiate,

Sounds like you are well versed in this topic. You are correct, the boot and recovery partitions need to be recovered.

You have several choices to recover the device, you may use onemeila tool here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011126

OR

Our tool here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069117

They both accomplish the same task in the end. There are known Bootloader issues with the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" so if you find yourself in an endless boot-loop, read our posts on how to recover the loop. Our tool automated the Boot-loop recovery. You will receive solid support on either tool.

I bricked the kindle fire hd 7in while trying to flash the newest android to it (used wrong bootloader). Anyway, when I start the kindle, it shows the first white/orange kindle fire logo, then it crashes to a black screen. When I plug in the factory cable, it shows the kindle fire logo and then goes to a logo that actually says "fastboot" with "kindle fire" under that, but then nothing happens. The device is not recognized by adb, but it has before, because i rooted it earlier. I can't get any unbricking utilities to work because the computer won't recognize it. How do I get my kindle to be recognized so that I can at least restore it?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Well you apparently didn't succeed in flashing the bootloader. It seems like you just installed an unsigned kernel so you are in better shape than most. Try Onemelia's system restore tool to see if that works. If not, you may have to restore the stock recovery as well.

I literally just solved this problem yesterday, you need to first plug your your factory cable into the pc using a working Kindle. That way the necessary driver, not the amazon adb driver, can be installed. Then plug it into your broken Kindle, it should now boot into fastboot.

I have the same problem. Were you able to fix it? I am thinking on doing the USB short trick I am not sure what pin to short out. Let me know if you found a solution.

Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirdir:
I have a similar problem. I opened the kindle and made a connection from the usb-boot pin to ground.

No it shows up as

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0451:d010 Texas Instruments, Inc.

for a few seconds when I plug in the factory cable.

But how to go on from that point?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
If you are dealing with a kf2 or higher then don't bother doing this as it won't work. We would need a aboot signed by amazon and we dont have it, without that we can't repair ours kindles this way, this only works on kf1. Though there is a method that you can recover a hard bricked kindle from involving soldering a usb sdcard reader to the emmc of a kindle. Btw plz start a thread next time, this was a big bump.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirdir:
Hi!

No, it's a (if I'm not completely wrong) 1st generation kindle fire hd 7"

I've seen amazon has boot-eng.img, boot-prod.img, u-boot-eng.bin and u-boot-prod.bin in their update.

Do I use one of those?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I have to ask before this turns out very badly, what exactly is wrong with your kindle and what are you trying to do exactly.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirdir:
I installed FFF to it. As I now know this is for the Fire, not for the Fire HD. From the moment I installed FFF the Kindle HD went out and couldn't be switched on anymore.

Today I opened it up and made the connection from usb-boot to ground, no I can get in into omap4440 recovery mode.

Just don't know what/how to flash exactly.

Regards

Patrick
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You can't flash anything from that mode. That mode is only of any use by Amazon because they have a signed file we would need to in turn boot a fastboot mode if sorts to reflash the uboot. You can't fix it with this method. Only way to fix it is to solder a sdcard reader to the motherboard or just get a new motherboard.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirdir:
Hi!

Wasn't that just the case with the newer Kindle Fire HD?

Hi all,

I've had my Galaxy tab 2 10.1 for about a week now and have just this morning been playing with the internet settings. However I have now lost the top bar of the internet screen, including the tabs, and crucially the button to get back into the settings. Have I somehow gone into a full screen mode and if so how do I get it back to normal, or how can I get back into settings?

Thanks

I have a Buddy who works on the Sprint Android team. If you guys will list legitimate repeatable bugs, I will submit them to him. You must be on a stock ROM (deodexed and/or rooted still qualifies), but if you have any other modifications, please get someone who is stock to verify.

Please see post 2 for bug list

Please list the Bug report in this Format

[BUG] or [ANNOYANCE] Description of issue and most importantly, the steps you take to repeat the bug.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adma84:
Bug List for 3.15.651.16

Confirmed

[BUG]Screen Stays Black after Phone Call ends

[BUG] Proximity sensor Issues - related to making calls; while on a call, if pull phone away from face the screen doesn't turn on, without hitting the power button..

[BUG]Notifications in Drawer are not Actionable/Expandable

[ANNOYANCE]cant turn off the power saver notification option in settings/apps/power

[ANNOYANCE] Battery Icon color doesn't match rest of theming

[BUG] Wifi Connectivity Issues (Possible fix is to turn off DLNA option)

[BUG] Navigation freezing/crashing

[BUG] Google Now FCs when you ask it 'What song is this?'

[BUG] New Lag introduced on HTC stock keyboard keyboards. Noticeable on Stock, swiftkey, etc.

[BUG] While BT is on, voice typing occasionally does not work. Toggling off BT fixes immediately.

[BUG] Bad location data (Non-GPS); presumably using tower info. Some people have been reported in the wrong state; others, quite far from actual location

[Annoyance] LTE scan interval changed from 30 seconds to 5 seconds, which has impacted those not in LTE area.

[BUG] Notification volume is at max on reboot and changing the volume resets to the set level.

Unconfirmed [I need more than one person to confirm this in a bug]

[ANNOYANCE] Facial Recognition to unlock is slow to load now.

[BUG] Haven't seen this one mentioned yet. If I send a text message longer than 160 characters it gets split up, but only the first part actually gets sent. This is using the stock text message app, not Google Voice or anything like that.

[BUG] Wifi frequency has to be set to 2.4 ghz to connect to router [Please confirm if you normally run 5 ghz, or you just have to set to 2.4 to make it work]

interesting. a few things that i've noticed others having: cant turn off the power saver notification option in settings/apps/power. some are having wifi connectivity issues (possible fix: uncheck DLNA from settings/wifi/advanced). some are having graphic issues with the stock keyboard (possible fixes: 3+ power cycles, rotate from portrait-landscape-portrait, change keyboard type then change it back)

So the MMS apk in the 1.22 version of ICS did the toggle where if I send a picture while connected to WiFi, the 3g data will kick on briefly while still connected to WiFi, send the pic, then toggle 3g back off. In the 2.13 version and this new 3.15 version, it doesn't do that. Like, ill be connected to WiFi and try sending a pic and the 3g data will not toggle on in the background. I have to manual turn WiFi off, wait for data to toggle on, send the pic, then turn WiFi back on and that's a long annoying process.

[ANNOYANCE] Missing speech to text (microphone) on keyboards (i know this was probably an intentional design change, but i hate it, why would you remove functionality that worked perfectly, yes i know you can do it via the Now app, but having to jump out of messaging/conversation to go to another app to quickly respond with voice is ridiculous) did anyone else notice it's still in the dialer app for searching contacts though?

[ANNOYANCE] No scrolling wallpaper option (not a big deal because it really doesn't buy you anything. but other launchers give you the option to lock it or wrap it)

[BUG] Proximity sensor wile making calls; when dialing with phone away from face the screen instantly goes dark, won't come back on until power button press.

[BUG] Light sensor; capacitive buttons don't light like they should. If light is dim enough that i can't see them yet bright enough that the phone disagrees i have to cover the sensor with my thumb to trick it into lighting them.

[BUG] Graphical glitches; probably a unique thing, but my battery widget has a button to view desktop (wallpaper) unobstructed, when returning from that the screen now goes wonky/staticky for a second, quite likely the widget though

[BUG] Graphical glitches; in maps i found that zooming in and out on the satellite view caused a bunch of annoying flickers. maybe a localized thing, i wiped cache and dalvik from recovery and that seems to have corrected for now.

[ANNOYANCE] Bookmarks widget can no longer be resized. This is obviously an HTC/Sense thing but it seriously changed the size of the widget on one of my screens and was letting it lay overtop of other widgets and app icons. There's the "Internet" widget that's a smaller size but it seems to never take a break. I use Firefox exclusively for my browser but in my power stats "Internet" was far and away the biggest battery hog on my phone. I must constantly be updating the screenshots of the pages it lists.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tbone72:
Also, the HTC sense input keyboard is all wacky! Doesn't work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ms79723:
That used to happen to me...now it works. I really don't know what was going on with that...

One bug I'm seeing and idk if it's been mentioned

If you calibrate the keyboard and then use it, there will be some tearing and the keyboard will just look messed up overall

Also, the lockscreen doesn't have it's on set keyboard. So if you set a pin with the default HTC Sense keyboard you're pin lockscreen will use that number keyboard. But if you use SwiftKey, you get that number keyboard.

I don't think I remember ICS being like this

I don't know if this has already been mentioned but expandable notifications takes practically 100 tries to get the two finger gesture to register. I do have this problem on my friends One X+ with JB.

Is anyone else noticing this? It's on every ROM
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Abominabel:
Not sure if this has been mentioned and I'm a little too tipsy to search through posts to see if it was but I'm getting an oddity that causes my carousel to lag a bit when I'm scrolling through screens. Also lags when I'm in the app drawer and scrolling through apps. It only happens after my phone has been off the charger all day and my battery is near 20% or below. A simple restart always fixes it whether or not I've put it on the charger. The lag is definitely noticeable and more so than any I've experienced on ics but not intolerant. I'm stock, unrooted, and never been tampered with at all. Anyone else experience the same issue(s)?

Not sure how you're doing the two finger gesture but I use both thumbs and swipe horizontally, outwards and I have no problems. I, as mentioned in my previous post, am stock and unrooted so don't know if that's relevant to your situation.

Two more:

* The USB Debugging icon is an ice-cream sandwich, not Jelly Beans.

* Netflix video freezes often when switching between quality levels. The audio still works when the video is frozen. Sometimes skipping around fixes it, but often not. Sometimes after skipping around the video will play at double speed (the audio is okay). Downgrading to a previous Netflix version (1.8.1) doesn’t fix it, so it's either a 3.15.651.16 bug or some change in Netflix streaming servers.
