Hello guys!

I just came on this awesome forum and I would like to stay active here :)

So, I got my Kindle Fire HD 7'' recently and yesterday I tried to root it but I failed ( some problems that said : Permission denied ) and I left it there. Today, I turned it on and the status bar and the sidebar with home etc has been disappeared. I tried a lot of things , but with no success. I have installed file manager but I can't find something that could be useful to restore my Kindle. I just want to get on the menu "Device" and press the button that format in factory settings my Kindle. Can someon help me, please?

Do you have a fastboot cable? Do you have root?

No, I don't have a fastboot cable. What is that? :P

And no , I don't have root.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hinzman420:
Ok i would suggest buying a fastboot cable (factory cable) you can find one on amazon for like 3$ but first lets see if we can get that thing rooted maybe it will bring it back to where you need it. Follow these directions exactly and should get it rooted.

First things first lets get your sdk and drivers setup correctly.

1. Download the sdk package from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download

2. Open the file you downloaded and take the sdk folder and the sdk manager file and copy it to you hard drive. C:/sdk** C Being the hard drive letter. Sdk being a new folder you created. Put files in sdk folder

3. Now you need to open up sdk manager and go to tools menu and select manager addon sites. Now select user defined sites tab and select new and enter this site. http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml and click ok.

4. You need to click the following boxes to install the packages you need. TOOLS, ANDROID 4.0.3 (api 15), and EXTRAS. Then click install packages to install them.

5. Now you need to install JDK from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

6. Now you need to install your basic java from here http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

7. Now you need to install kindle fire hd adb drivers from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1890413

8. Now shut down your kindle and connect your kindle to your pc and let it boot all the way and unlock the lock screen.

9. Now you need to run this tool https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.5.1.zip

And select option 1 and on your kindle when the screen pops up asking to restore go ahead and tap on restore.

10. When your kindle restarts the lock screen should turn black and look funny ( if this does not happen then run the tool again untill it does) Now unlock the lock screen.

11. Now you need to run this tool https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Qmenu-v2.5.zip and select option 1

When it says press enter to proceed make sure you wait till it fully boots and you unlock the lock screen before continuing to next step. Once all steps are completed you should have root.

Open superuser to activate it and enjoy.

So, okay, I installed all the things and I am going on the step to open the RunMe.bat and then I choose the option 1. Then, it scans to get my Kindle, but can't find it. Now, the thing is that I can't know if the Kindle has opened the ADB as I can't go in the Sytem etc.

Ok my next question is have you called amazon? They have an excellent return policy. Just tell them this happened after their update and play stupid about root or anything of that sort and you should have a brand new one in a few days. Or your gonna have to get a fastboot cable.

Can you help me with restoring my Kindle? C'mon! There will be a way to restore it from File Manager!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hinzman420:
Without root or knowing if adb is enabled. There's not much i can do for you. The only other thing you can try is unplug your kindle ,reset your pc, wait till it boots, then plug kindle into pc this will power on your kindle. Then go into device manager and under kindle when you open that branch it should say android composite adb interface. If not you can try to update drive and choose the option that lets you choose what driver to install. Then search in program files/amazon and install drivers from there. But without knowing if this kindle has adb enabled its kinda hard to help you. But if these do install and it does shows up as android composite adb interface. Then try the rooting process again steps 9 - 11. If you cannot get steps 9 - 11 to work your only other choice is to get a fastboot cable ( factory cable ) and use the kindle restore tool from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951254KFHD System.img Restore Tool and follow downgrade to 7.2.1 section.

Shut your kindle off unplug the kindle and plug it back in this should turn it back on. Now go to the root with restore this should bring up a screen that says restore go ahead and restore. This will not root you. Now follow any directions untill you get the black lock screen no open the qmenu tool and select option one wich should be root. Follow directions when you have to reboot wait till it fully boots back up and you unlock it before you reboot again. This should root your kindle.

Hey guys,

I have some mod ideas that would be really nice.

1) A menu button remap that by longpressing it, a screenshot would be taken

2)Adding a few shortcuts to the very top of the pull down menu. By very top I mean the area where the time and date are. For example how when you press the date it takes you to the calendar, being able to add custom shortcuts to the same area would be nice.

If this question is confusing, let me know and I can give some screenshots of where I'm talking about.

3)This one only applies to 4.2 roms. Add custom tiles to the quicksetting screen. For example; when I pull down the notification bar it only opens to quicksettings when there are no notifications. Is there a way to add a notification tile to the screen that once clicked, it then opens up all the notifications.

These are just some thoughts I had while messing around with Carbon ROM last night. These mods might be completely absurd, or other people might like them too. I'm just spitballing some ideas.

Thank you devs for all your awesomely hard work on cool new tweaks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Amd4life:
Hey all its upgrade time, and was on my sprint page about to upgrade, and it stated that I would have to add an 'additional' $10 fee, and also there was an $36 activation fee

Is this a new fee (currently have a epic 4g touch SII wimax 4g plan with a $10 fee added on)

And what happened to not having to pay an activation fee if you did it online?

Did sprint change this too, or is it because I have an older heavily discounted acct?

After all the taxes/fees the 'upgrade' comes to $400. Might as find a used one I was thinking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JimSmith94:
The website is saying that you need to change your account because it doesn't handle or understand SERO. The fees aren't added until you activate the phone. Because you're on SERO, you have to buy the phone first, but don't activate it online. Instead call the SERO folks. It's either 888-876-8381 or 888-882-4030. I don't remember which one I use.

You won't have to pay the additional $10 fee (you already are), and you might be able to sweet talk them into eliminating the $36 activation fee.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Amd4life:
Thanks for the help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] WillisW555:
They will take of the WiMax $10 fee and put the LTE $10 fee. It's the same thing basically, they just have different names for that $10 add-on. My bill didn't change when I switched.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
Before I can say anything how much are you paying now a month? If your paying $40 a month then after you upgrade you will pay $50. No way around that. As for $36 activation fee, you will have to pay that. You may get it back once it's in your bill. Or you can call sero line and order phone and have them waive activation fee at that time. If you need sero phone number let me know or dial *2 from the phone that's on the sero account. Remember you can only upgrade sero phones at sprint store or over phone at sero department. In the end you should be paying $199 plus $36 activation fee and with taxes depending on where you live it should be around $247. If your paying $40/month then add an extra $10 from then on. Reason I know is because I just upgraded a phone for a family member on sero. Hopefully this helps. Let us know what you find out.

By the way, your able to update on the website if you log on with your sero account but there's a chance the system may screw thing up. Your better off going into a store so this way if things don't look right you don't have to go through with the deal.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xKrisx:
From an inside perspective. Sero 500 is currently 30 $ a month for Dumb phones. To use a smart phone you have to be on the Sero Premium 500 that is 40 $ a month. As well all know there is an additional 10 $ mrc for Premium Data. If you are currently paying 50 $ total a month on a WiMax device and upgrade to an LTE device online it will mention the 10 $ mrc. The SOC code for WiMax vs LTE is different and one will be dropped when the other is added.

The only 30 $ a month Smart Phone plan out there on Sprint is the Sprint Wireless Advantage Club "SWAC" accts. Its the SWAC 500. It still costs 40 $ in the end because of the 10 $ Premium Data. But non the less its 30 $ a month for 500 Anytime Mins and Unlimited everything else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rhoel:
The first store I went to they said they would have to change my plan and it would add 10 bucks a month. Went to another and all the guy had to do was call in keep my price. I'm on sero premium, $40 plus the $10.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Amd4life:
okay this is the part that is weird, I have the $40 + $10 plan (500 minutes, unlimited data), and on my log-in page, it shows that the phone is $299 + taxes + activation for my ugrade

went to amazon and its $199 upgrade (of course I know I cant use that link to do a employee referral upgrade

the issue I am having, is my local stores are telling me that they can't even access my account I have to call in, due to my account type ( I was hoping to "reserve in store" so I could just pick the phone up, I hate waiting for mail shipments)

amazon will let me upgrade, but I always get concerned with getting my account readjusted, back to my referral account over the phone with sprint. I have heard people do it, but some also hit brick walls

guess I will call the sero line direct, and take a shot that way,

thanks for the help guys
