Is it a correct assumption that the combination of this kernel plus the 7.4.1 stock ROM would not work due to the /lib/module vermagic not matching?

CM10.1 Stuck at boot logo after battery died

I installed CM10.1 on the Kindle Fire HD 7 and it worked fine. Problem is when the battery died and I charged it, the Kidle wouldn't pass the boot logo. I can still access TWRP. What should I do? The Kindle isn't detected by my laptop either even though it does make a sound when I connect.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] AJ Bryant:
I actually just did a factory reset via TWRP and it was fixed. I just had to register the device again.

Sweet. Mine's doing the same currently. Will try this when I get my factory cable.

Thanks, Quan. However, my KFHD7 has been updated to 7.4.1 and it seems that I can't fastboot using the usb cable that came with the unit :(

It will work for all software versions, future, past, and present.

I have tried for two days straight... Won a new kindle, cant get fastboot to kick in..... adb works but fastboot does not :confused:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
Are you appending "-i 0x1949" after "fastboot", but before the command itself?

Example: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

Would spit out Tate-something
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] skyrocketeer:
yes, I am putting that. However when I plugin my powered down kindle, it just boots normally and the cmd prompt just keeps on displaying <waiting for device>

I figured it is my fastboot drivers, but they've been giving me a headache for the longest time.

KFHD 7 Paperweight/Chopping-board ?

Hi guys,

Was following the instructions at the top of this forum ([BOOTLOADER] Install 2nd-bootloader for Custom ROMs on KFireHD 7" [04/02 TWRP update])

Go to the following Step 4 where it says :

Device will not power on at all and is unresponsive to the following :

fastboot cable being plugged in

Standard cable being plugged in

Device isn't recognized on regardless of cable

Holding power down for 30 seconds

Holding power down for 2 minutes

Overnight charge also

I have had a look around the forums for other people in similar situations, saw post referring to "KFHD System.img Restore Tool" - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951254

My understanding that this will only work if the device is at least recognised on the pc, in any case clutching at straws tried and got the following:

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell su -c "reboot bootloader"
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found

Suggestions would be very welcome :(

Noob Question

I hate to ask what may be a painfully obvious question to some but here goes.

Now that there's new 7.43 based files plus updated TWRP...

If I wanted to update my KFHD 8.9 would I go thru the whole original process with the new files (since even the TWRP is updated)?

History: I disabled my OTA's at 7.41 and then followed hashcodes process to get TWRP / CM10.1 installed last week.

Thanks to all

this is a stupid question but for STEP 3. Install the stack override in /system

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
Use the commands he posted, with the "stack" file he posted and you will not go wrong.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] fujirio:
i used adb push stack /data/local/tmp/

and it says cannot stat "stacked" no such file or directory
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
I am not sure whether you typed it wrong in the command or typed it wrong here, but you should make sure you are "cd'ed" I to the right directory (the one where the stack file is located) so you can push it to your device.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] fujirio:
thanks now im getting

failed to copy 'stack' to '/data/local/tmp//stack': Permission denied
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
Is your device rooted?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] fujirio:
yes
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] r3pwn:
Have you called the "su" binary in the adb shell before executing these commands?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Try:

adb root

then:

adb push stack /data/local/tmp/

But /data/local/tmp shouldn't need root access to be written to. That's very odd.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
It shouldn't matter when using the push command.

Try altering the command like so:

adb push stack /data/local/stack

See if that makes a difference.

[Edit:] Even better...

At your command prompt, enter...

adb push

...then add a space...

...then drag the stack file to the command window. This will add the full path of the stack file to the command. Add another space, then the following:

/data/local/stack

[Edit2:] I didn't see that you already answered, [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION]. Sorry about that. Either way, there is something that bothers me about his output: '/data/local/tmp//stack'

The extra "slash" leads me to believe the commands aren't being entered properly or some other user based error.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Also, can someone confirm that /data/local/tmp exists as a folder in 7.4.3?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] fujirio:

Finally got it done this is very detailed.

HAVE fast boot cable ready home made worked great also having firehd was extremely helpful to ease the process.

NOTE for fast boot enter command into command prompt for first command into command prompt with tablet off.

Then enter fastboot command in command terminal when it says awaiting for device plug in fsstboot cable turn tablet on when that command completes then enter next command wait for completion and then next fast boot command...

This is what worked after trying to follow step by step and ending up with a boot looping tablet.

could not install 2nd bootloader with latest update - issue solved

Hi Hash - first of all, thanks a ton to your wonderful work and helping us all to use our KFHD to the max potential.

I tried your method on my old KFHD7 and everything worked and I am running your CM10.1 on it. But I encountered an issue with recent KFHD7.

My new KFHD7 received a software update (happened before I could start the process of flashing the 2nd bootloader). Now when I execute the command to install 7.2.3 bootloader(kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin), it gave a success.

$ fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin

target reported max download size of 1006632960 bytes

sending 'bootloader' (221 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.080s]

writing 'bootloader'...

OKAY [ 0.043s]

finished. total time: 0.123s

But the fastboot mode does not allow me to execute another fastboot command again - meaning the fast boot command to flash freedom boot image just waits after i execute the command. I waited for 10minutes and nothing happened. I had to hard reboot the device.

My "System version" in "About": 7.4.3_user_4309320

I am unsure how to get the 2nd bootloader installed now. I am guessing that Amazon has prevented overwriting the boot image in some ways. I could only execute one fastboot command at a time. The second fastboot command, even if it is to just reboot, it just waits in the prompt without doing anything. I had to unplug and plug it back to re-issue the reboot command. But the device is listed on command "fastboot -i 0x1949 devices".

Please let me know if anyone know how to resolve this.

**EDIT: I had to unplug and replug the USB cable after each command (silly though). But I used the flashapk to install the files (like I did for the other KFHD) and got the TWRP installed.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
So...you followed the instructions in step 5 exactly as written...correct?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] raj3366:
Yes. I followed his steps verbatim.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
There has been a lot of this going around lately in regards to fastboot. With so many people having the same problem, there has to be some common denominator. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting straight enough answers from people to try and figure out what it is. So hopefully, you will be able to answer a couple questions clear some things up for me.

1) Where did you get the "fastboot.exe" that you are using to execute fastboot commands (KFU?, Android SDK?, Kindle Fire First Aide?, etc.)?

2) What tutorial/method/tool/whatever did you use to install your drivers?

Re: [BOOTLOADER] Install 2nd-bootloader for Custom ROMs on KFireHD 7"

hello persano,

so you can no longer flash via fastboot?

note: the smb347 charger will charge the device under almost any circumstances. but via usb, the device may still drain if stuck in a boot loop. so best to plug into a wall charger.

with access to fastboot, you should be able to reflash the stock partitions and do a full wipe of data and be back to square one.

with only access to recovery, i think i could setup a "back to stock" flash .zip
