[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
You're acting like I haven't tried everything. Obviously if I'm asking for help I have tried everything and studied into it and failed. You can check out Droidrzr.com, I am very knowledgeable and insightful over there. I'm not just coming over here demanding answers, I've tried everything except the liveusb as my labtop doesn't support it. I am patient but I just want help as obviously I'm not doing something right. I have no problem to supply answers to any questions as I need to fix my dads kindle quick. So please I want to start fresh and figure out what it is I'm doing wrong.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Believe me, I am sympathetic to your situation, but without any specific insight as to what's happening on your end, other than the fact that you can't get it to work, I have no choice but to assume you haven't done the necessary groundwork to educate yourself in what you need to resolve your problem.

Did you read the Kindle Fire for Beginners guide? Did you understand all of it? If not, what didn't you understand? Have you checked the hardware ID of your device in the device manager and made sure it is in your 'android_winusb.inf'? What have you tried? What haven't you tried? The same goes for any other guide, tutorial or tool that you have been directed to.

No one can see anything you're doing or not doing, so without the appropriate amount of information to give us a clue to the specifics to your situation (other than drivers aren't working), you're just wasting your time. Are we literally supposed to assume you've actually tried "10 million different ways" to get your drivers working? Or do you think it would be more beneficial for everyone to know exactly what you have tried so an appropriate solution can be suggested?

You haven't even told anyone what operating system you're using

.

Put yourself on the other side for a moment, and imagine someone came to the Driodrzr.com forums...and despite a wealth of information available to them, the only information you can glean from their situation after six different responses across two different threads, is that they have tried "10 million different ways" to get their drivers working, yet they are still unsuccessful. Would you automatically assume they read and understood all of the information available to them and actually put that information to use...all while paying close attention to detail and following all instructions to a 'T'? Call me skeptical...but I think you wouldn't.

[Edit:] In case you're wondering, this is a more appropriate way to present your problem...

...it isn't perfect, but it at least paints a good picture for anyone who reads it to get a decent idea of what's going on.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
Trust me I understand, I think I'm just frustrated from not being able to figure this out and yet it sounds so simple. I am running windows and I can't check my hardware ID's because every time I go into device manager it says unknown (for the Kindle device). I'm gonna try on another computer but if you can tell me why it says unknown and how to solve it I believe I'd be good from there.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
There could be a number of reasons why your device manager shows "unknown device". Your bootloader could be malfunctioning or you could just have the wrong information listed in your 'android_winusb.inf' file. It would be helpful to know what hardware IDs are listed in it.

It would also be helpful to know if there is any change in how your device shows up in the device manager when the factory cable is plugged in. On that note, where did you get your factory cable? Did you purchase it from Skorpn, or did you make it yourself? What happens to your device when you plug it in with the factory cable? We've already established that it sits at the Kindle Fire logo, but which one? Does it stay at one brightness, or does it go dim after a few seconds?

And I can tell you are running Windows by the fact that you have a device manager, but what version is it? What prevents you from being able to boot from a liveUSB on your computer? (BTW, this is required if your booloader is malfunctioning)

The more information like this that you can provide, the better chance you will have at getting your problem fixed. Paint a picture. Imagine you're explaining to a blind person next to you what's going on on your end.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
Okay so I went onto another computer and it shows Andriod phone then the ADB interface. I immediately became exuberated with joy! Now do I do fastboot? Can I use KFU to just hit the option to put TWRP on? I don't wanna mess nothing up as this is all the computers in my house lol. If I do fastboot how do I open up the commands for it? I know I must shift and right click on something I just can't remember what. Thanks for the patience with one man who's finally got something to look forward to when it comes to his Kindle! I also just used a simple USB cord not the factory cable.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Plug your factory cable in to make sure the device is actually in fastboot. Does KFU detect your device while in fastboot?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
I used a USB and it said offline in the KFU but it went to the menu to where I could hit options. I never tried the factory cable but I will when I get home. Also since I'm close to fixing this do you have an idea of what is the most stable ROM to put on this? I'm doing it for my dad so he's not into speed or processing anything. Just looking for a stable ROM that has good battery life.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
The FAQ just says I change the bootmode. I know I must shift right click on something to send those commands but I just can't remember what, do you know what I shift right click to send those commands to fix this Kindle? Also can I just send TWRP to the Kindle through those same commands? Also I read the FB guide and the codes USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&REV_0100

USB\VID_1949&PID_0006

popped up in the hardware ID's so I know it's in FB. I just need to know where I shift right click to enter these codes: fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
If KFU can detect your device in fastboot , you can use it to install custom recovery, FFF, and/or change the bootmode respectively. It uses fastboot commands to do this when your device is in fastboot mode. When your device is booted normally or in recovery, it uses ADB commands instead.

But...

...if you were to enter the commands manually, the fastboot.exe(adb.exe) must be in the same directory from which you are entering the commands. You can either change to that directory using the 'cd' command at your command prompt, or you can open a new prompt in that directory by pressing shift + right-clicking on that directory, then selecting "Open command window here". Some versions of Windows don't support opening a command prompt in this fashion, BTW.

As for your question of what ROM is the most stable, it would be safe to say that all JB/CM10 based ROMs are quite stable, but CM10. If you want a ROM that has good battery life, you might want to go with a GB/CM7 based ROM, but they're not as nice to look at and kind of awkward to navigate....simple things like changing the volume can be a chore.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
My other computer I'm using doesn't support this :/ what can I do to get the KFU to recognize this? Also how do I change the bootmode?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
If KFU doesn't recognize your device, it's unlikely that fastboot will work anyway. You can confirm this by entering the following in the command prompt...

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

...if it returns "kindle", you are good to install custom recovery, then change the bootmode.

Commands for installing custom recovery and changing bootmodes can both can be found in the "Kindle Fire for Beginners" guide.

If the previous command doesn't return a result, you need to fix your drivers.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
I entered in a command prompt and It says 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I take it this means my freaking drivers aren't working :/ so since the kindle registers as Android ADB Interface what do I need to fix? I thought this was what I was aiming for?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
NO. You have to change directories ('cd') with your command prompt to the directory containing fasboot.exe. I just told you that two posts ago.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
Then I can run the kfu?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
My computer won't allow me to open a command prompt from the FB.exe though
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
THIS RIGHT HERE is why I am so adamant that you read the information available to you and pay attention to what's being said.

The 'cd' command stands for "change directory". You use it to change the current directory of the command prompt (default is your User directory) to another directory. The correct usage of that command is...

cd

If you don't know the path of the directory you want to change to, right click on it and select "Properties".

If you still can't figure it out, type 'cd' (without quotes), enter a SPACE, then drag that folder into your command window. The rest should be self explanatory.

[Edit:] CASE IN POINT...Quoted directly from the Kindle Fire for Beginners thread

I seriously hope you'll learn from this and actually pay attention next time you read something.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
I changed the directory to the tools subfolder in the KFU folder. I tried typing the commands I told you 2 or 3 posts ago. It gave me 3 dots and I waited 10 minutes and nothing. Now what am I doing wrong?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Nothing. That's normal when changing bootmodes in fastboot. Rebooting will boot your device into that particular bootmode.

But simply changing the bootmode to normal (4000) isn't going to fix your device unless there wasn't anything wrong with it in the first place. You'll likely need to access recovery to fix the original problem.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
I thought for recovery mode I had to have TRWP installed?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Let's try this again...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
Do I need to push through a recovery? Because I did the adb devices command and the Kindle didn't come up. I also shift and right clicked on the tools and entered in the command window "fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000 fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot" and I also did the same for the 4002 and 5001 code where I typed in everything the same but just switched the 4000 with 4002 and 5001 and it still just came up three dots.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I cannot, for the life of me, understand how you're missing this. It's mind boggling.

Now, for the third and final time...

Use the factory cable to

access fastboot

.

Use fastboot to

install custom recovery

.

Use fastboot to

change the bootmode to recovery (5001)

and

reboot

so you can access that custom recovery

Use custom recovery to fix your device by

correctly installing a ROM.

I've given you all the information you need to fix your device, and then some, and I've been very patient and understanding up until this point. 98% of all the information you will ever need to fix a bricked 1st generation Kindle Fire can be found in the guides and tutorials that you have been directed to and claim to have read. You shouldn't need any more of my help from here on out.

I wish you the best of luck and I hope you get it worked out.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
I know exactly what the directions are, the only problem I keep running into is trying to put TWRP on there. From there I can handle everything. I have tried numerous codes and I feel terrible for posting numerous replys.... I am definitely donating after I solve this. The help you've given me is phenomenal. If you can help me solve the mystery of trying to put a recovery system on there then I will be eternally grateful.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Nevermind actually I`m quite positive Soupmagnet has given you all the info you need to fix your Kindle. Maybe some hands on help would give you enough to get over the hump. Step back a bit take a long look at what he has given you. If your still at odds and getting no where fast let someone else look at it closer and give you a hand;) wait to long and your battery will die then you will be in a serious world of hurt.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
Okay great news it went through. Now it says it's too dead to power on but to connect the charger! Can I charge it through the factory cable or do I just use a USB charger?? BTW thanks so much guys I'm literally jumping for joy!! Also when I reboot do I let the Kindle reboot all the way then install FFF? Because it says in the KFFB TWRP w/o FFF is a no no. Or do I just install FFF when it's off and use the factory cable?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Don't use the factory cable to charge. Hold the power button to shut it down completely, plug it in and immediately hold the power button to shut it down again. Leave it plugged in and shut down for a while before powering it up again.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
Now how do I push FFF through to the exact directory? Do I just push it through with the code then navigate to it in recovery?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
Never mind I figured it out lol
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
When I plug my Kindle in with a normal USB cord it shows the Amazon Kindle Fire with a yellow exclamation point, then when I open it up further it shows This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)

There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.

To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver.

Where do I install or what direction do I send the computer in for the drivers?

I tried to install the FFF and had everything set but as you probably implied already, it shows waiting for device.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Do you have TWRP installed?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
Yes
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
So...use it to install a ROM and flash FFF
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
I would but I gotta push it through and my lab top can't find the Kindle.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
Can I just boot it up normally? I only have TWRP installed, will everything be fine? If not how do I get my computer to find the drivers for the Amazon Kindle Fire?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Your options are...

1) Fix your drivers

2) Find a way to run a LiveUSB

3) Use a different computer
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
I turned it into the android adb composite so I think its good. I tried to run the 1st step of the rooting process but it wouldn't mount any reason why? It said the device was busy I believe
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
:sigh:

Do you have FFF installed? Did you fix your device by reinstalling the ROM?

None of instructions so far say anything about going through the rooting process again.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
How to install a custom ROM and root. It was a how to thread you posted. I believe the FFF went through correctly. How can I check? Its on my kindle but I don't know if it installed correctly.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
The thread in the first quote
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buckeyestilidie:
Sorry this thread
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Okay, look...

I've done my best to point you in the right direction and get you on the right path towards getting your device fixed. And against my better judgment, I decided to be patient and continue to try and help. But after all of this, you STILL refuse to read the information that is available to you...Why? I can't understand it. There is already a guide on how to install a ROM. There is already a guide that tells you how to install FFF. There is already a guide that tells you how to install TWRP. Information on both TWRP and FFF can be found in the threads from which you downloaded them. There are already various guides on how to get your drivers working properly. There are already various tools to do those things for you if you can't get it done on your own. All the information you need is right there at your fingertips. Honestly, what more do you really expect from this community? If you expect someone else to spend the time to write down every single thing you'll ever need to know about how to fix your device, what to expect, and what to do if things don't go according to plan, again, you might as well just give them the device for going through all of the trouble.

I've told you several times what you need to do and/or research to get your device fixed. Every single question you've asked can be easily answered if you would just take the time to read, and actually pay attention to what you're reading. At the rate things are going now, and where you stand at this point, I can easily see this conversation being dragged out for several weeks. So, I think this is the point where I will have to walk away. I've tried to help you help yourself (probably a lot more than I should have), but if you're not going to put forth the effort I don't see any reason why I should either.

Like I said earlier, I wish you the best of luck. But I'm telling you...if you don't start to take personal responsibility for what is essentially your own problem, it is very unlikely that you will ever get it resolved.

Good luck.

Hi there, I recently made a thread here about installing my Nexus into my car.

My question is, could you rotate the Google logo on startup to be in landscape?

If it's mounted in my car, I think it would look 10x better rotated.

Thanks!

Hey pal, as far as i know no one has been able to successfully change the splash screen for the n7. And not many are trying so unfortunately id say probably not :/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
You cannot make it auto-rotate since that needs full boot, but you could manually rotate each of the images in /system/media/bootanimation.zip (you will have to extract them and repack when done). You will probably need to rescale them and mess with it a bit to get it looking right.

EDIT: Sorry, I just realized you meant the bootloader splash. As the above poster stated, I believe that hasn't been done before. It's not like you will look at it for too long anyway.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashik992:
I'm quit sure that it's almost impossible if google doesn't do that.

And on the other hand I don't think you have to look on that image more than 10sec while booting so what makes the difference.

Although it's possible to rotate the boot animation if you have a rooted device and follow the above post or you can gate various landscape boot animation on the web...

Making a custom boot image is definately possible, and as always theres a guide on XDA:

You could follow the guide, but simply rotate all the images to the orientation you want it.

Thats the easiest and probably only way your going to get a rotated boot image.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0reknabe:
I was browsing my installed Applications and noticed two Google Calendars. Naturally, I wanted to get rid of one. I checked when I last used them and uninstalled the one listing some time in 2008. Turned out to be a mistake. Since then the Calendar force closed without error message on me when I tried changing into Appointment Overview (or whatever it may be called in English). In trying to rectify my mistake I first uninstalled and reinstalled the Application and when that didn't work I uninstalled everything even remotely associated with Calendars. Including Calendar Storage and Calendar Sync App. Really should not have done that.

I tried to install the Application again but it is still force closing and on top of it now i obviously cannot sync anything any longer.

I would really like to avoid flashing and was hoping someone over here would be kind enough to help me out.

I am obviously using a Galaxy Nexus with CM 10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-maguro-m3 and 3.0.7.1.-leanKernel-6.3.1-05165-g0f0c8df
