If you open the SuperSU app in the App drawer, do you have any apps in the list, and do they have green # marks next to them, or are any of them red or white?

You could also check the log in the app to see if anything jumps out as being denied.

While the blue logo is up, keep pressing the power button to cycle through the options at the bottom. Stop on recovery.

Ive bricked my KF2!!! I make all the wipe and now the Kindle don't mount to PC for put the ROM :(
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mindmajick:
fmkilo,

I just wanted to let you know that I used tweezermod with great success. I finally got my fastboot cable from hong kong lol!

1. I used the sparse 10.2.3 restore images and restored via fastboot

2. Rebooted.

3. Rooted.

4. Used Tweezermod to install recovery.

5. Rebooted.

6. Profit.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] fmkilo:
the images from the restore thread should be pre-rooted.. if not, I'll upload my pre rooted one and link it in this thread
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mindmajick:
Could you actually? I think a Tweezed Version would be cool :D Your call though..
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] fmkilo:
i could have it preinstalled as a system app on a rooted stock, just run and done
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mindmajick:
Sounds good. Just meant delete the recovery installer script and such
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] fmkilo:
i don't know if i can flash back a stacked system image
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Alin1997:
Is possible put a ROM on the KF with a USB OTG? (with only recovery)
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] fmkilo:
what you need is to find out what driver to use with twrp for adb.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Alin1997:
where i can find it?
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] vinhntna608:
The desktop version didn't work for me. fmkilo pls check it.

The wireless version worked great by using Sript Manager. Thanks chronicfathead.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] fmkilo:
I can't tell what is going wrong if nobody pastes a ****ing output!!! It works fine for me. If it's the damn read only sdcard, I have no idea what the hell is going on with that!!!

if one of you little read only sdcard people would like to stop at desktop script and come to me so I could try to fix it...
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Alin1997:
The V1 apk work very good :)
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] chronicfathead:
Recap:

The next person to try this using the desktop method who gets the read only message, please PM fmkilo, or get on the IRC channel and see if he's online. Without your help this won't improve. If you do help, you may get mentioned in the OP.

It would probably help if you let him know how you rooted and what OS version you are on, I.e. 10.2.4 or 10.2.6
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] vinhntna608:
FYI, hope this can help.

I've got the same when trying the Desktop version/Window 7 with SDK and adb on. The software version is 10.2.4,rooted by Bin4ry_v18. Actually, at first I ran Bin4ry_v18 and QemuRoot but I didn't get root. Once more Bin4ry_v18 running, my Kindle was rooted.

Anyway the Wireless version worked.

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Alin1997:
You can fix it only with a factory cable.

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mindmajick:
That's the right cable but comes from China. It'll take forever to get to you. Better off with a SKORPN cable.

I have a KF2 (non HD) which is rooted and has both superuser and SuperSU. I rooted via this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2075959.

I then tried to use KFU to install TWRP and other stuff, but I couldn't get it to mount in any mode. ADB was online, but the mode showed as unknown, so I couldn't do anything with it. I have installed Google Play, and various launchers, etc, but I can't do anything that requires access to recovery, as I have no recovery on the Kindle. If I install and run this app/script, will this give me access to TWRP, and therefore full root and recovery access? What are the risks involved?

I am no stranger to rooting Android devices and installing roms, etc, but the background stuff on the Kindle is new to me, so I am still finding my way around this stuff. I would be grateful for any help offered to me. TIA.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] hillconnor13:
Could brick but that's the worst possible thing do it right no risks im running cm10.1perfectly :)don't forget <<thanks button :P
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] ursulavasey:
It's the risk of bricking that worries me. Also, do I run the script as admin, by right clicking and selecting that option, or do I just run it normally. I'm on a Windows 8 laptop, if that makes a difference.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] yudanjah:
Use the wireless option!

Download the APK (Wireless install option via app) at the beginning of this thread. It worked perfectly for my KF2 (regular). It changes the screen, and provides a boot menu. (I had to get used to boot menu.)

Cheers Joe, that worked brilliantly. I now have TWRP on my Kindle. Thanks a bunch for your help mate.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Hinzman420:
May be a noob question but can i use this method for the Kindle Fire HD 7". And if not is there a way to get one for the HD?
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] iytrix:
I would not. It was not meant for that device, nor has anyone tried it....I mean, if you have a fastboot cable handy, and don't mind unbricking something.....sure you can try it. Unless Kilo knows more, sometimes software overlaps for device, but because I don't REALLY know how this script works, I can't say what the outcome would be. It could do nothing, or it could do something, something bad, or something good, no one really knows.

What you're looking for though, is the guides for your device, which I shall link below.

I am assuming you have root since you're here....

Use this guide by Hashcode.

If you need the guide to rooting still, that is here.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] fmkilo:
the images are different.. I have it but its on my other hdd

Also, I don't have the apk for it. (never been tested either. it's only the desktop script. and it uses the same exact script with different images)
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] CB620:
Used the apk and everything worked perfect.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] christopherwoods:
Me too! :) Success first time here, thanks very much fmkilo.

From a 10.2.6 factory install, I used bin4ry's root script - took a few goes to get it going right (installed SDK and plugged in, device showed as "Kindle"; then installed Kindle HD ADB driver and device shows up as Android Composite ADB Device) and I had to kill the adb.exe process which the SDK installed and had running in the background. I DIDN'T need to elevate UAC privileges; indeed if I did that I just got path errors with the script. Local user privileges are all it needs, it seems.

I then used the cordless (wireless) APK install method, I thought it hadn't worked as the device booted, but I kept on seeing brief flashes of the Kindle bootscreen on top of the UI (which did respond, although very laggily). Seems this was just part of the rooting though as I left it for a minute or two and eventually the MS-DOS prompt reported success. The KF2 rebooted, and I got the blue logo bootscreen as expected. The device then booted into stock ROM perfectly.

My PC then took a little bit longer than usual for the device to show up again as an Android Composite ADB device, but it did happen eventually (a couple of minutes after booting).
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] masber2000:
Please help. Used the one-click to install, had issues with my computer finding the Kindle. I restarted the Kindle, however, now the Kindle immediately shuts down when I attach any USB cable (wall cord, factory USB, or USB). I am able to power up only when the USB cable is not attached to the Kindle. Has anyone seen this before? What can I do to fix this?

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] soupmagnet:
I must say, I find your response particularly disturbing. Bashing someone's work, whether warranted or not, is clearly against forum rules, and this could have been handled much more tactfully than your choice to publicly attempt to embarrass someone who is simply trying to learn and give back to the community by using the knowledge derived from it.

That being said, you don't have a lot of ground to stand on when you have no original works of your own here on XDA, and the majority of your posts involve asking for help rather than actually giving it. Besides, aren't you a Brony? Your profile seems to suggest that you are. Aren't Bronies supposed to be all about love, acceptance, and various other forms of happy crappiness? It doesn't really seem to me like you're being a very good example.

Perhaps you should spend more time watching MLP and leave the debugging to those who are more qualified and in a better space to contribute...
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] fmkilo:
I never realized how inconsiderate people could be. I spent my time writing this, if you have problems with it, make it better and release it yourself, just leave credit in. The thing is, I don't really see this going anywhere, so I've pretty much abandoned it. I'd say it's on its last version. Unless the community wants to come out with a better version.

And, I use linux daily. I know full well what is accepted into a linux shell. I did in fact write this on a linux machine.

How is it a deathtrap? when its worked so many times. If you ask me, you need to shut up and go back in your little hole, kick your feet above your head and fap into your mouth some more. Goodbye.

Guys,

I have done this method and put com.powerpoint45.FMKilo-2.apk on the kindle.

Installed it and reset the kindle, now it just boots to either a blank screen or a fuzzy line through the middle?

Totally bricked? Anyway to recover it at all?

Do I need a factory cable?

Yes buy or build a factory cable and restore it via fastboot.

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] Jared631:
First of all, just because I don't spend time on XDA, that has no correlation to my coding skills. Actually, I'm pretty good in both of these fields, bash and batch. I just don't go around sharing every little script I make and etc. And since I know your gonna go asking for some proof, (http://github.com/Jared631/win-get) While that has only one of my current projects, still. My comment before was being 'critical' not bashing on his work, I was also just pointing out the fact it could be a deathtrap, while I had patched up the small issues and got it to work, I was only worried about the fact it could misbehave and etc. Being a brony doesn't mean you lose the right to insult, and I won't be very acceptance of a script that could harm others.

can I get a little help with the downgrade. I have a stock KF2 with root. But is on 10.3! I tried to downgrade with that command (I just used the fastboot.exe in the droidSDK right?) But it just says waiting for device. Is that because im not using a fastboot cable?

So I think I just need som more detailed instructions on the downgrade.

Thanks!

After installing the apk and running it I now have a Red screen but nothing happenings. Is there a fix? BTW I can turn the device off.

EDIT okay searched but what is fastboot cable? Is that the original Kindle Fire 2 cable that came with it? And must I need it?

EDIT 2 Before I do this again, do I need to put in the ROM before starting the APK?

Okay use the recovery tool but so far no luck. I do see the kindle fire logo right before going red so it is recoverable. Also what could have caused the red screen? An apk shouldn't have done this I don't think (I read your warnings and don't blame you )

[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mindmajick:
Can you get back to stock again?

The apk is flawless.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] RoboWarriorSr:
If it's on 10.2.3 isn't that stock? I downgraded it since the bootloader needed to be under 10.3.x in order work. Previously, I was on 10.4.1. If by stock you mean "Amazon" software, I'm definitely on that.

The APK should be removed. It does not work on some KF2s and is causing a lot of problems for people.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mindmajick:
I disagree. It should not be removed as it's the easiest method. It causes a lot of problems for SOME people.

I believe your statement is enough warning. Also people should be a bit more careful with this device and stop "jumping into things" like you can do with other devices.

There are warnings EVERYWHERE that you should have a fastboot cable before doing anything.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] RoboWarriorSr:
I don't think he knows about the recent boot loader that Amazon updated the Kindle Fire 2 that disables any way to install another boot loader. It was a secret update and it makes everything harder, even downgrading cause some problems with installing a second boot loader after the update.
[Kindle Fire 2 Android Development] mindmajick:
I don't think I knew anything about that either!

I haven't been on stock in quite some time so had no idea.

Maybe contact the OP and ask him to add disclaimer and/or verify?
