[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
Are you flashing gapps or just using that term to describe the apps from Google?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Icewolf69:
gapps was the term that the phone said when it crashed. But no i'm not flashing the gapps, they're included on most of the roms like Jelly Beans 11. I've had a few different gapps force close, like the store and gmail. but i've also had the system ui and kik force close.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
Sorry man, it's beyond my knowledge. Never had a bunch of apps stop working that fixing permissions or a clean install didn't fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
How did Beans build 10 work for you, was that running fine? There are only two things I could suggest since you've tested normal suggestions already:

1) Beans removed a few files from System/Bin on Build 11, these are all included in Build 10. Maybe your phone needs those in order to work properly:

gsiff_daemon

mpdecision

qosmgr

smdexe

This is why I ask was Build 10 working fine for you? If so, maybe pulling these files from the Build 10 zip then putting them into System/Bin, setting permissions as rw r- r-, and rebooting could help. Or it could not.

2) Try flashing with TWRP recovery and see if the FC issue pops up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Icewolf69:
Well I think 10 was when the issue started but i'm not sure anymore. I've flashed so many versions in the past week, from 5 to 11 that i've forgotten. I'll see if I can't do that though and see what happens.

should I do a factory reset? i mean is there an equivelant to formating a hard drive and reinstalling windows that i can do on an android?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
To be consistent, its best to clean flash (factory reset/dalvik/cache) build 10 just to see if it works fine.

The equivalent to a Windows reinstall would be using Odin to flash a stock image. Using Odin, you would reset your phone back to fresh out of the box, bloated Verizon OTA. I feel that's unnecessary though cuz you flashed CleanRom and had no issues. If you flash another TW JB rom and have no issues, then it's more telling. As of now, something specific in Beans Build 11 (we'll verify b10 soon) is causing issues for you. Are you restoring any apps with Titanium Backup or restoring text messages using another app?

Edit: to detail a little more about the Odin route. After flashing the stock image, then you would need to root, unlock, install a custom recovery all over again and THEN flash Beans build 11. Idk if you want to do all that, esp if you haven't confirmed if this is something that's been happening with prior builds or with other roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Icewolf69:
I just did a fresh install of 10, including cache, delvik, factory reset, system partition, and after first boot i went back and fixed permissions. I'm still getting force closes. media service, google play, etc. I don't have many apps on it yet to see what else will force close since i'm not using titanium backup to restore anything. Everything is fresh and coming from the play store...

I should be hitting 10 posts soon so i'll be able to try and post in the beans thread, or the dev section. But any other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Icewolf69:
I also seem to be getting a lot of "invalid file" and "file couldn't be downloaded" when i try to install apps from the store. Not sure what this means
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Icewolf69:
Beans 12 came out today and I tried installing that and i'm getting the same issue.

Tomorrow i'm going to do a full wipe to stock verizon image. and go through the unlock and root motions unless someone has any more ideas.

Thank you for the help so far, i appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Icewolf69:
I did a complete stock OTA flash last night to verizon's jelly bean, and went through the root and unlock process again. flashed beans 12, and i'm still getting the same error.

I'm on beans 6 right now and it's working great. Going to try changing a few settings in 12 to see if it works and then maybe see if 10 works.

FLASHING WRONG IMAGES CAN DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE SO USE THIS APP ON YOUR OWN RISK

fire flash is an App for flashing boot and recovery partitions on both versions of Kindle Fire HD. Optionally it also installs a simple Open Recovery Script which gets executed after entering recovery mode. In script only wiping system/data/cache and installing ROMs (.zip files) are supported.

Usage: download files you want to flash (boot image, recovery image, ROM .zip files). After downloading files, select them and check appropriate options. In attached image there is an example for flashing Hashcode's bootloader + TWRP + stock ROM v8.1.4 with installed stack override on a KFHD8.9. After all files are selected and options checked as shown on the image, first tap Flash,install script button and then Reboot into recovery button. All required files can be found in Hashcode's threads.

Tomsgt made a video http://youtu.be/a1bLCuQN0-U which shows how to use the fire flash. Thanks.

Note: more than one .zip file can be selected. To remove a file from the list, select the same file again.

Update v1.1

-added support for system version 7.3.0 / 8.3.0:

: if current bootloader is not 7.2.3 / 8.1.4 a red warning is displayed and check box for flashing 7.2.3 / 8.1.4 bootloader is enabled.

: unless you are sure your current bootloader is not 7.3.0 / 8.3.0 bootloader 7.2.3 / 8.1.4 should probably be flashed - check the checkbox.

-works on CM10.1

-every flashed partition is read back and verified

-shows progress when flashing

Update v1.01

-added some feedback after pressing Flash,install script button

-(hopefully) resolved problems with open recovery script
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] persano:
can flash for example tweaks and sound tweaks like acid audio engine that come in a zip?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] stanga72:
fire flash generates a script which is then executed by TWRP. If tweaks can be flashed from TWRP then yes. Leave boot and recovery image 'Not flashed' and don't wipe anything in OpenRecoveryScript section. Select your .zip file(s), press Flash, then reboot into recovery. This app only simplifies (a few) tasks that can be done in TWRP and makes intalling boot and recovery partition realy easy.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] persano:
you need twrp?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] stanga72:
yes TWRP does the unzipping. If you only need to unzip some files into the /system dir this app perhaps isn't the best choice.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] Raymond199483:
I downloaded it will it work on a unrooted Kindle fire hd since I have no way to root my kindle right now

sent from my unrooted kindle fire hd
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] stanga72:
device must be rooted for this App to work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] AthieN:
Works good. A couple things to note:

1. It gives no indication when you click the "flash, install script" button that it's done flashing. I ended up clicking it twice...

2. Even though I selected to wipe the cache/data/system and install the new IS zip file, it did not work. I rebooted to TWRP ok, but had to wipe and flash manually...

But, I'm definitely not complaining about anything cuz it got my second boot loader installed without me having to buy a fast-food cable first! :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] Raymond199483:
Good news I'm rooting my Kindle fire HD today for sure

[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] raj3366:
Awesome work. My plan is to backup the current image before flashing any new ROMs. Using this script how can I just flash TWRP without changing anything else? If I just flash recovery partition alone, would it do the trick for my use case ?

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Also I think this thread deserves a place in kernel Dev section as I happened to find this by accident. I don't generally browse Apps Dev section but I did and was to happy to find this thread.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] raj3366:
I was able to do it without flashing any other zip files(just boot and recover images). It takes a while to boot into recover though (after the "kindle fire" logo turns blue).

Thanks for the good work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] hector333:
this is truly awesome, i have TWRP installed in like a minute!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] Mad@Droid:
Can you tell me what steps you did to have twrp install by this app?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] hector333:
First download the kfhd7-freedom-boot.img and the TWRP Recovery from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

Now move those files to the storage on your KFHD7, install the fire flash APK and execute it, select the files and check the "Apply Stack override" box and the "disable recovery auto update" just like the picture on the OP.

now execute it by pushing the "flash install script" button and Wait! (it do not says its done so i wait like a full minute)

now do a reboot and the boot logo will turn blue and the you push volume up and then you will be in TWRP

hope it helps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] Mad@Droid:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] Mad@Droid:
Wow done in least then 2 minuets. :good:

Thanks, this work out perfect no nightmares to report, maybe next update for this app will let you know when its safe to reboot. :laugh:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] stanga72:
flashing is done almost instantly, no need for waiting. In v1.01 there is some feedback after flashing is done.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] Mad@Droid:
I was wondering is it possible to update twrp to the latest version or are we stuck with this one?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] EclipseGT:
I was also wondering the same thing. Can we upgrade to the newest version of twrp?

WARNING DO NOT-DO IT

I tried it and it went into fastboot loop, i was lucky that i was able to fix back.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] galearned:
hkpilot: You may be lucky enough to have enough of the new stuff installed to get into fastboot without the cable.

However, rest assured, with the fastboot cable you will easily be able to restore your Kindle.

You are not even close to being "Bricked" as the expression goes.

Unless you made a set of backup images, you will probably be best served downloading the Kindle Fire First Aide utility (KFFA) version beta 100.

There is a restore menu item that will restore your tablet to 7.2.3 which is old but at least usable.

You will put the tablet into fastboot using the cable then execute the KFFA restore option.

You can then download the 7.4.6 image from Amazon and update.

You can then start over with Fireflash and get everything checked and selected properly.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] ch1ller:
Well, another Guy who i know of tried to Flash his Kindle and had the Same Problem. He was quite sure, he checked all Boxes (But i am not really sure he did *g*)

With this Bootloop and the Yellow Boot coming up again and again and no blue Kindle Boot there was no way of accessing the device without a fastboot Cable.

When u get the Cable, it is quite easy to solve the Problem. After connecting the Fastboot-Cable, your Fire wil go into fastboot mode.

Then you can at least access it from your PC. Make sure the adb is working.

Easiest way - get yourself the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31 if you dont already have it.

Inside there you will find a stuff directory with adb and Fastboot Commands.

You will need these Files:

kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin - find it here: http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/tate/kfhd7-u-boot-prod-7.2.3.bin

kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img (you already got that)

kfhd7-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img (you already got that)

And you will need the 2 Files for Custom Rom/Gapps

These 2 Files are an Example for CM10.1 and Android 4.2.2. JB (you can use those u intended to)

cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip

gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip

Copy all Files into Stuff directory of Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31

Disconnect Kindle and turn it off.

Open Command Prompt and go into the Stuff directory of Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31

Enter first line:

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

It should be saying Waiting for Device, then everythings fine and you can connect Kindle with Fastboot Cable (Leave it connected!)

After Flashing enter next Line:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd7-freedom-boot-7.4.6.img

Then the next Line:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.6.3.1-recovery.img

Then this Line to Reboot:

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

The Kindle will reboot quite fast into Fastboot again, so after he starts to reboot, disconnect the Fastboot Cable and reboot Kindle again

With Freedom Boot Loader 7.4.6. you have to Press Volume Up NOT straight when you see the Yellow Kindle Boot but as soon as the Blue Boot comes into sight. Just keep pressing Volume UP until TWRP Splash Screen comes up.

In the Case of the Guy i know, his Image Files were all gone and he could not find it on Sdcard anymore.

With TWRP up you now connect the Kindle to PC with a NORMAL USB Cable.

Make sure, your ADB Driver is installed properly on PC and in System Setup he shows you ADB Device Driver at Kindle.

From the Command Prompt in Stuff directory use these 2 Lines to Copy the Rom and Gapps Image to Kindle:

adb push cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip sdcard/cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip

adb push gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip sdcard/gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip

Now you can use TWRP to Flash the copied Images to your Device.

Do a Wipe first, wipe

Dalvik cache, Data, Cache, System

DONT WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE!

Install cm-10.1-20130812-UNOFFICIAL-tate.zip

After that use Button to Wipe Dalvik/Cache and go back to Install gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip

Reboot and thats it.

Good Luck :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] LinearEquation:
You left some commands out

adb push stack /sdcard/

adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard/stack of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system bs=6519488 seek=1

adb shell su -c "mount -o remount,rw ext4 /system"

adb shell su -c "mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak"

adb shell su -c "mount -o remount,ro ext4 /system"

Those are incredibly important commands. The problem is that at this point a factory reset is necessary

Factory reset commands

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot stock-boot.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery stock-recovery.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system stock-system.img

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Download the system restore tool for your model (7 or 8.9)

I recommend reading this Op to review the commands http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

The problem is that one needs to downgrade to 7.2.3 to avoid bootlooping.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] ch1ller:
Yeah Ure right, i left out some Commands but I assumed, he already ticked those using Fireflash the first time. :silly:

I know it works just fine, since it was already solved this way^^ But to make sure - your right, it should be done.

Im really Curious, what exactly the ppl. leave out to have this kind of Bootloop. Its not that much to tick...:angel:

Folks: One other note: Perhaps someone knows which GAAPs are compatible with which OS?

GAAPS 03/31/2013 is 4.2.2 gaaps for CM 101.

GAAPS 08/15/2013 is 4.3 gaaps for CM 10.2

GAAPS 11/19/2013 is 4.4 gaaps for CM 11

This post thread listed CM10.1 (4.2.2) and GAAPS (4.3).

Are the newer GAAPS backwards compatible with the older OS's?

Another note: Between the first recommendation that left out some stuff and the correction, if I were a little new to this, I would be completely confused at this point. A lot of good information was just put out there but, I certainly would not know what to do next if I had not been through this dozens of time. Linear is correct that we do not know what the guy missed the first time around (Stack is indeed critical) and that there has to be a clear OS match of all the files flashed to the tablet to avoid a boot loop. The boot loop usually indicates the boot partition OS version does not match the System partition OS.

As linear is pointing out, the best thing to do is to start over by restoring to a know set of files (All contained in the link to restore listed by Linear).

Once up and running, then Fireflash can be used again and this time.....Pay attention...Check all boxes including "apply stack" and use the correct Freedom boot and recovery images that match your OS.

1: Restore the tablet to a prior OS using the link linear referenced.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951

Looks like KFHD_SRTv1.3.5.zip contains 7.3.0 which is not new by any means but, will work.

Someone should ask onemeila to update the restore files on his site to 7.4.6 (Would only take a few minutes)

This site contains a script that flashes some pre-made images (they should be updated to include 7.4.6)

2: Update the tablet to 7.4.6 (latest Amazon OS) first before attempting to use Fireflash again.

Fireflash should use the latest Hashcode 7.4.6 Freedom boot img file so the tablet OS must also be 7.4.6 or ---BOOT LOOP

3: Use Fireflash (Freedom boot 7.4.6.img and 2.6.3.1 recovery .img) and check everything down to recovery and recovery override.

4: Steps 1,2, and 3 ensure the tablet OS and all the files being flashed match so no boot loop.

Is the ability to downgrade unique to 7.4.7 / 7.4.6?

I have tried several times in the past to downgrade to an older OS and I was not able to?

I would download the older OS and then either device update was still gray or, if clicked update, the download would be erased and the newer OS remained.

I would love to be able to simply downgrade directly from the Amazon update file.

I have had to always flash an older_7.4.1.zip in TWRP then move forwards to update to 7.4.3 for instance if I was running 7.4.6.

I have not been able to reload 7.4.6 by downloading 7.4.6 to the Sdcard and using device/update either.

Again, when trying to re-install the same version update, clicking update simply quickly winks and erases the update.

I should try the update/downgrade again.

Thank you all for the tons of valuable information and advice, really appreciated and touched :-p.

I tried to get into fastboot mode with the normal USB cable and failed as expected, I am now waiting for the factory table to be delivered. I think I will take the conservative approach to restore to an older stock OS version and start the FireFlash all over again, sure this time I'd be extra careful.

Thank you very much again and happy new year!

No BOOT after TWRP 2.6.3.1 wipe of local storage

Thought I would pass along a quirk I have experienced twice now when choosing to wipe Local storage in TWRP.

On two different tablets ( running CM 10.1) , I chose to do a complete TWRP 2.6.3.1 wipe mainly to remove any odd folders on the local SD card.

I booted into TWRP, selected advanced wipe and chose everything Cache, data, system, local drive, etc.

When reboot system is chosen, the tablet will not boot past the blue LOGO.

Additionally, when getting into TWRP, TWRP 2.6.3.1 reports and no SU was detected and asks to "install it?"

TWRP 2.6.3.1 apparently is erasing more than just the local SDcard information.

In earlier posts on other threads, it was explained that the local sdcard is integrated into one of the other partitions (system?).

I would say that TWRP 2.6.3.1 is deleting more than the what is considered the local sdcard space.

I have not tried this exercise on a Kindle OS....Could be TWRP 2.6.3.1 is OK with the Kindle OS.

Is the CM10.1 install placing System info in some of the space that TWRP 2.6.3.1 is considering sdcard local storage?

The downside is that a fastboot restore or ADB sideload is required to get the tablet to boot.

You're not suppose to wipe everything. You need to only select "swipe" before hand. You wiped data and system. You left nothing at all. No OS and no internal data. Be artful what you wipe.
