[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ijustwanttoreadonthis:
I just bought a used Kindle Fire (Model D01400). The guy had android on it but reinstalled the original software before selling it to me apparently. The original software worked when he gave it to me perfectly but i decided to restore the device to factory settings. When I did that it brought up the blue kindle fire startup screen with v 1.4 in the top corner and then loaded TWRP. There was an Install, backup, restore, wipe, mount, settings, advanced and reboot option. It says Team win recovery project (TWRP) V 2.2.2.1 at the top. I proceeded to choose the wipe option and wiped the cache, dalvid cache, factory reset, system and external storage. Then i rebooted it and it gave me that blue kindle fire screen and then nothing. If i press the power button I get one of three boot options. 2 of them bring me to the regular white and orange kindle fire screen that just sits there and does nothing. The other one brings me back to the TWRP screen.

The other pertinent piece of information is that when i try to connect it to the computer, I cannot access the device drive and see the contents. (I watched a video on how to fix the device to get it back to the original device software but I need to access the contents of the device) I followed the instructions provided in one of the beginners threads and installed the google sdk that allowed me to see the kindle on my device manager as an android phone but that it is. I cant do anything with the device in My Computer. It does not even show up in there as kindle.

I have been all over this website and read the beginners guide and short of installing linux to try soupkit and trying all the other fixes:

I just want to ask: Is this device bricked forever and unfixable or if I follow the guides that are on this forum can I get it to work like it did when it first came out of the box. (Just asking yes or no if this is fixable)

I just want to get this Kindle back to its normal state with its normal software. I just want to read books on this thing. Not use android.

Bonus Question: Knowing that I just want to get this back to how it works out of the box, is there a faster process than sifting through the beginner threads? (Just Yes or No) (If there is I will search harder to find it)

I am not asking for someone to hold my hand and do this for me. Just making an enquiry because there is tons of stuff to learn and do to try and fix this and I wonder if I am wasting my time.

(More specifics: I am using 64 bit version of windows vista, and have ubuntu installed as well, I have USB 2.0 ports, I have a factory Kindle USB cable from my older Kindle 3G)

I hope I covered everything.

:(

And yes I realize now that I should have never done that factory reset when i first got it. It was working exactly how I wanted it to when i first got it. I am apparently not a smart man.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
The smartest thing you can do is install the MoDaCo ROM. Use adb to push it to your sdcard and install it in recovery.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ijustwanttoreadonthis:
Any advice on getting around the "connecting it to my pc thing" or is it alright if it shows up as an android phone in my device manager.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ijustwanttoreadonthis:
Alright I have been learning about this and trying for hours and hours now. I have device manager reading the kindle fire as an android phone ADB interface but when i try to use KFU it does not show the kindle as being connected and when i even try to do anything, like installing TWRP again or something it does not read the device and says waiting for device. I have done everything in the beginners guide.

I think i am having so many issues because I inherited this device in the middle of its functionality and i never had to do the previous steps. I curse the guy who rooted this damnable device in the first place..
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ijustwanttoreadonthis:
Alright i have made some progress and I got my hopes up way too much because i may not ever get a response to this but I am hoping. I followed thesee instructions because I already have all the prerequisites for this process done:

"Reverting to stock software

Required software:

Amazon Kindle Fire Software Update

Warning: Installing the Amazon Kindle Fire Software Update will not only replace the system software, but also overwrite the bootloader and recovery with the stock versions. Any custom bootloader and recovery like FFF and TWRP will be overwritten in the process.

This section assumes the device is already booted into TWRP recovery.

1) Copy the update bin file to the /sdcard as update.zip

Code:

adb push C:\kfu\software\update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin /sdcard/update.zip"

I found this on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1638452

have the kfu and the software folder and the update put in that folder. I get the device into fastboot but when i type in

adb push C:\kfu\software\update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin /sdcard/update.zip

It returns back "error: device not found"

And that is when I cried for an hour. I have everything installed. TWRP i can now reasonably navigate everything. I have ADP thing in my device thing. Why wont this work!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
adb push C:\kfu\software\update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin /sdcard/update.zip <------ that there is about the worst thing you could do go ahead wipe out your recovery your bootloader and brick your device. I think Soupmagnet recommended modaco that`s about the best place to start. The reason you cant push it might be drivers read up a little it won`t hurt ya. At any rate flashing stock is a mistake here is a nice big list of goodies to flash on that thing http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1859851 . If your running Ubuntu? run this script on it and reboot http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1850038 great little feature there that will help you adb push anything you want to that kindle not to mention return to stock safely which really isn`t needed if you flash modaco.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
In TWRP, you can use the Mount function to mount your sdcard as a USB device and transfer your ROM that way. I would highly suggest you install MoDaCo and try it out before you try to revert your device back to stock. In the meantime, you can educate yourself a little more about the device and how it works before you get yourself into trouble by not reverting properly.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ijustwanttoreadonthis:
I should have reported that I tried to put modaco on the device with the same process as thhis -> adb push C:\kfu\software\update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin /sdcard/update.zip

And it still gave me an error saying it could not find the device. And i have been reading threads and trying stuff for hours now. The only problem is that because my device already has all this stuff set up the guides and threads all presuppose that the person knows what they are doing. If i would have just had a stock kindle and done all the steps to get to this point I would have already had all the practice and hands on training. I am going to try to get modaco onto my SD card trying every possible avenue before I post again. Again, my device manager is reading the kindle as Android phone -> Android ADP Interface and it does not show up in My computer as anything. That is what one of the tutorials said it had to do. I really hope this is correct and I am not trying in vain.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Don't worry about using ADB at the moment. Boot into TWRP using the FireFireFire1.4a boot menu you described before, and select "Mount". Make sure there is an [X] on the last option and press the button at the top that says "Mount USB storage". Then check under "My Computer" in Windows to see if the sdcard was mounted. Then transfer your ROM as you would with a USB flash drive.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ijustwanttoreadonthis:
Short answer: Nothing appeared in My Computer

---------------------------

Long Answer: I tried every combination of processes that I found through the various troubleshooting methods.

I have 2 chords: A white Kindle chord I used for my old Kindle 3G and a blackberry USB chord that fits the same. I also tried every function with every chord with both Windows and Ubuntu just in case because I saw that in other threads where people were having issues that they were just not doing the proper process based upon the circumstances. I also tried all of these functions while the plugged in Kindle was reading as:

Other devices -> Kindle (Big K)

&

Android Composite ADB Interface

In my device manager. In all the cases I tried the best case scenario was a "removable disk" appeared in My Computer but it read "please insert a disk into Removable Drive" if i tried clicking on it. I also tried all of these functions with each of my 4 USB ports (all 2.0 ports) (which all work for any other device)

So I tried every port with every chord I have using every combination of processes I found in other threads to do what you advised and it did not show up. It took a while but I wanted to be concise because other people do not give enough background or try everything before coming back to the forum.

(Just for reference I tried the process outlined in "How can I verify the drivers are loading?" section in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23747671&postcount=2 among other threads for troubleshooting advice and guides.

-------------

I will learn more about this ADB pushing process thing using CMD because the only glimmer of hope I have had in the past 2 days has been getting my computer to read the device when I used KFU. It worked one time and it was magical. Unless there is anything else I can try or if someone can confirm that this thing is completely broken beyond repair.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
It's not broken it's just a little unhappy with you right now;) you may have a combination of things going on. Your drivers my be mistreating you and either you have an sdcard mounting issue or the drivers are affecting it. How ever it is I would be happy to help you sort through it. The only thing I ask is that you complete your thread afterward with a detailed description of what it took to fix it for the benefit of others in your situation. So pm me when your online and if I can I will assist you through it.

Just to let you know it may have been simulating mount in recovery as well funny thing those setting are useless when you want to get something done ;)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ijustwanttoreadonthis:
There was a fairly simple solution that should be universal for most issues if you require pushing a file to your device.

Here is some background stuff that you should have before attempting to fix the problem I had and starting from scratch.

You will want this installed: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

And the Kindle Fire Utility: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399889

And in my case the Modaco ROM: http://www.modaco.com/topic/350682-14-jun-gr9-631-modaco-custom-rom-for-the-kindle-fire/

Unzip the Kindle Fire Utility into c:\kfu

Install the Android program

Create a folder titled Software in your c:\kfu and put the ZIP file that you downloaded from Modaco in the software folder

Make sure to go through the "How can I verify the drivers are loading?" section in http://xdaforums.com/show...71&postcount=2

Plug your USB chord into the kindle first (while it is off) and then plug the chord into the USB port

It will bring up TWRP

Go into the options and make sure that you push Restore Defaults and ensure that any options with "simulate" in them are unchecked.

Open up cmd.exe and type in "cd c:\kfu\tools"

Go to the mount option in TWRP and mount the USB

type in ADB push and then drag the modaco file from the software folder onto the cmd window and it will show you and then type in \sdcard\

ADB push (the modaco file) \SDCARD\

It should take a few moments to transfer and it will say that it is done

Unmount and then unplug from the computer. Go to wipe and wipe everything other than external memory, then go to install and find the file you pushed onto the kindle in the file folders. Push on the file and it will ask you if you want to flash it, select yes.

After that is complete select reboot and it should automatically reboot and then go to the proper startup screen.

Special credit to Thepooch for providing all this information to me. I believe that should be everything.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Working in the directory that adb is in is important and this

adb push <exact file path> <exact file name> /sdcard/

I bought my phone on swappa and it was rooted/unlocked/s-off. I put a bunch of different roms on it and have enjoyed using this phone. I sold it today and the buyer wanted stock on it. I told him that I didn't plan on doing that because I don't even know if it's possible. I would, however, like to put something on the phone that is pretty stable. The last version of CM9 I tried was not very good and that's what is currently on it. Any suggestions of what I should do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] TEdelman:
Flash a RUU
[HTC Rezound] Vitamin_D:
Do you have a ruu suggestion? I just want something stable because I have no idea if this guy knows how do any of this once he gets the phone. I basically told whoever bought it that it has a version of CM9. I just want to know if there is something more stable to put on the phone. CM9 or 10 preferred rom would be nice.
[HTC Rezound] Doug0716:
I can't post links due to <10 posts but there is a thread just a few down from this one (started at 3:40 yesterday) that has links in it for returning to stock, including re-locking.
[HTC Rezound] Vitamin_D:
Thanks Doug. I just found that post before reading yours. I think I'm just going to leave what I have on it and just call it good. I put in my listing that it had CM9 and root so if he doesn't like it, he shouldn't have bought it. I just don't have enough time to take it back to stock before tomorrow. I really wanted to know if there was a better version of CM9 but after reading a few threads, looks like not much has changed. Thanks everyone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usafle:
Strange thing after a reboot. My "Setting up Wallet" shows up in the Notification bar and never actually completes. It would always say "Setting up Wallet" and then go away. Well now, it's stuck.

I've rebooted a few times and still the Wallet app won't finish setting up.

I've force stopped it and cleared cache and rebooted, same thing.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usafle:
XDA is THAT good.. After posting this on here and letting the phone sit powered off overnight, upon reboot this morning, the wallet app initialized without any issues.

No idea what that was.

I have just flashed CM 10.1 nightly 2/22 and I realized that my storage says I only have 2 giga left even though I look though my files and nothing shows up, I even looked in recovery and nothing shows up. I'm pretty sure I did a complete wipe. So do I have some sort of hidden previous files?? Any help will be appreciated!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MidnightXZ:
If you don't have anything in anything of importance in your internal and external storage, try going to recovery and wiping both internal and external and see if that helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whatsitsnamenow:
You sure you looking into the right folder. All your files should be in your emulated "0" folder.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
also make sure you are updated to latest recovery or you will get multiple /0 folders copying the files. Might be why you're running low on space.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Check out the Android 4.2.x File Structure Thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xaphino:
Thank you! I was looking for that thread. Anyway I decided to just clear internal storage and reflash. It was weird because I didn't see any 0 folders before. It was just nothing appeared but my phone still registered it. Anyways no problem now!
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
youtube or internet videos are playing. they either show a black screen with audio or youtube will say there was a problem while playing touch to retry

ive tried flashing RUU and ROM twice without adb backup/restore. this only seems to happen when i update my kernel to a newest version or even the kernel version right after the one that comes with the rom

it never did this before
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Which kernel are you flashing and what rom?
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
snuzzo kernel. i had the problem start when i tried to flash 2.7 this morning than i reflashed the rom (comes with 2.5) and tried to do 2.6 and the problem continued now im on 2.7 still with the problem

countershrike 3.1.1

ive never had a problem with updating the versions before even with the same rom

EDIT: this happens on 4g and Wifi
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
well when i open up the browser and set the agent to desktop mode than use youtube.com it works fine inside the browser

i think its the app. i reported to them that im having problems but idk if they listen to user reports :silly:
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Are you wiping boot from recovery when you flash? You shouldnt have to wipe anything before you flash a kernel. Are you s on?
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Only time i wipe boot is when installing new rom. S-off
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
ok, i got this fixed :silly:

after install tripndroid_endeavoru-ota-eng.noeri_003.zip and flash thats kernel(3.1.10-TripNDroid_jb_aosp-004+noeri@noeri-virtualbox #2)

my device do not allow me to flash other kernel(in bootloader allow and flashing successful but in phone os show 3.1.10-TripNDroid_jb_aosp-004+noeri@noeri-virtualbox #2) OR do not allow to lock boot loader AND in TWRP recovery all operation same as format system, data, install new rom and other operations doing successful but after reboot phone i see nothing happen, and see last rom with last kernel last and last user data;

Who know anyway to go out from read only HOX?
[HTC One X] DaVinci:
How did you install that rom? Because that download link was deleted i think a month ago?

the v003 noeri kernel is the culprit of that hard bug.

Basically, you are now in apx mode. you can't do anything about it, even trip whacked his phone cause of numerous failed attempt to fix it.

Sorry dude but your phone was bricked. no other option but to send it to service center. hope you are still under warranty and your provider accept the repair for free:angel:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if i am of any help, please hit the thanks button:good:
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Sorry to say this mate but you're totally bricked.

Only a new motherboard will help...
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Its best to search on how to brick your bootloader properly .....when the service center can't read/boot your bootloader anymore they don't know if it was actually unlocked before. This way you have more chance of a free repair. Because when they see the tripnraver stuff they are unlikely going to fix it under warranty/hardware defects.
[HTC One X] HEshghi:
but my HOX not have waranty or garanti!

i think wait to s-off to solve read only problem...
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I hope you get it sorted when we get s-off !
[HTC One X] sieempi:
I also have one in read-only, and I've done some investigations.

I'd rather say it's the emmc controller that's busted, in which case we won't be able to do anything as long it's not functional (I don't think even the official s-off methods will work). On the other hand, while bricking, the write protection went off and I could write some partitions, until it settled to read-only (my goal, back then, was apx). I find this interesting because this might be an short (but dangerous) way to s-off. Still, we need to identify the exact commit that holds the guild.

PS: if you don't have warranty, try changing the emmc chip, might be cheaper.

Paulie has made Miui Roms for a ton of phones... I don't know why you think he is a joke. He is horrible at timelines, but he is the real deal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
Because I have had four phones he has said to have working builds with working data for then he magically has some surprise issue that comes up and he can't or won't release it.

That has been my dealings with him. Your mileage with a dev may vary. There are a few developers on here I think are childish and con artists but there are a lot of people who don't agree and a lot of people who do agree with me.

Just depends on I guess when or where you met the dev.
