After following your steps I will get to the part where i have to click the last file for the drivers and after I do my computer will say that Windows was unable to find the drivers for the KFHD7, if you have any suggestions on what to do that would be greatly appreciated.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] gornog:
Did ADB worked properly before, with drivers installed? If so you can try something else to reinstall it.

The first step are the same,

Right click "update driver"

"Browse my computer for driver software"

"Let me pick driver on my computer"

And try to find in the list if there is a "Kindle Fire" in the list of devices. You might be able to install it from here.

Otherwise try to reinstall the amazon adb driver (you can find it easily in this forum), and then eventually perform again the operation above.

I've tried all your steps and plenty more all over this forum.. I can't figure out why my Kindle HD 8.9 wont connect properly so I could push the rom via ADB.. I basically fell through the same issue as you.. except I'm stuck at trying to get Windows to recognize the Kindle properly... This is what I get regardless of what driver, or .inf I push at it.

For some reason I cannot get this to work. I must not be typing the command language properly.

adb sideload cm-10.1xxxx

I get the following message:cannot read "sideload"

Any thoughts here? Thanks!!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] soupmagnet:
Make sure the ROM or file you're sideloading is in the same directory from which you are sending the command, or replace the filename with the exact full path to the file.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] krakora:
Success

Thanks soupmagnet. Yes and Yes.

First: I did not have the Android SDK tools set up properly. I watched the interwebs and took some time to learn the very basic ADB commands. Once I changed directories to the desktop (where my zips were sitting) the simple sideload was a snap. I did get "error closed" message a couple times and used "adb usb" seemed to restart the process. At the end of day, success, my Kindle is flipping awesome now, I know a bit more about pushing files using ADB, and all is good in the world.

Thanks again XDA Developers!

PS: As a side note... I was on 7.4.3 version of the Amazon software and when I installed TWRP and the bootloader. Flash fire makes you switch to 7.2.3 version of the bootloader. I think that is what hosed me in the process... I could only get to recovery and it was like the OS was gone afterwards. Anyways, if you get trapped in recovery, get ready to learn something. :good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] ButchTheKitty:
I'm having trouble getting ADB to recognize the sideload command. I have found 2 different places that it is installed on my computer.

Do I use the ADB in the Android SDK, or the one in the Kindle Fire First Aide folder? When I try to open the one in the Android SDK folder the CMD Prompt pops up and flashes loads of text before auto closing, I get the same thing from the KF First Aide folder.

I just need to get my rom.zip onto my Kindle Fire HD, but I am totally lost on where to go from here since I am stuck on either the Boot screen or the TWRP bootloader.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] soupmagnet:
You don't run ADB like a standalone program. It's just a series of commands to be used from the command line. In order for this to work, the adb executable/binary/whatever must be in the same directory from which you are entering the commands (research the 'cd' command for more details).

Also, for the "sideload" command to work, your device must be booted into TWRP and you have to execute the sideload function from the "Advanced" menu.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] ButchTheKitty:
Thanks for the quick reply, I decided to just re-flash to the stock 8.1.4 and restart the process, only this time I made sure to put the .zip folder for the new Rom on the systems storage first. Seems to be working so far, CyanogenMod is installing as I type this.

Thanks so much for working on this though, you guys do amazing work.

Dam thank you man

man with out this tread i would be F in a major way i have suceded in bricking two kindle fires hd 7 in the last week

one is compleatly dead dead dead waiting on factory cable. the other i was able to rescue today because of your post

(op) post,

i am not new to ADB, but the kffa, twrp,and other programs used to do these projects never seem to work, for me always stop at a bad time

. The thread installing twrp-2nd bootloader on this site has major flaws i am new to this so i chose 1st timer treads

(thing for dummies) things like step by step instructions, like i was able to follow your instructions easily (although you should have used an address like C;/desktop/xxxx.zip insted of (your zipfile) in the sideload code example. after i figerd out that deal it was easly done 5 min later loaded the code into adb ADB sideload C;/desktop/kfhd7-amizon-os-7.4.3.zip and 5 min after that my kindle rebooted and was back to normal all files intact even my apps. like i never touch a thing. it upgraded back to 7.4.6 and reloaded my apps.

I followed the instructions to a tee 2 times on the "root and recovery w/TWRP" tread and both times wound up having the programs kffa, and twrp, flashfile. stop at some point during the process, and result in me bricking.

i could have missed something or maybe the step by step missed a step or maybe my jdk was f but both time

i was screwed.

I think maybe they don't see the reader as a novice, although most if not all readers here are a novice's of some kind and so leave out info needed to complete with success, the tread i mention earlier he steered away from the topic so many times it made it almost impossible to follow and only refereed to successful outcomes, like put this into the cmd line next do this. but not stopping to think what if the person reading didnt get that response from the command line what do i do then?

And thats just what happen to me both times everything was going great and he said put this adb code in and i couldn't get it to respond like he said or it stoped cant find device or just sit there and do nothing, screwed... im into it now cant back up cant go forward your screwed. anyway my rant over now. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS TREAD you saved my ass.

You must use the TWRP version for your device but yes, the process explained above would be the same. For driver install and sideloading onto TWRP that is.

ADB command

Sideload isn't working for me, so in the main screen of twrp I use the command

adb push name.zip /sdcard

With this command I can put the files direct on my sdcard after doing a full wipe.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] brotherhaslip:
Wow!!!! Thank you so much for posting this here. I thought that when you did a wipe, the TWRP folder would not be touched. I'm sure it was my fault because I probably checked too many boxes under the advanced wipe. Next thing I know, I have no data at all on the device, and I can't communicate with it. I tried lots of other threads, but this was the one that worked. I am getting too old for this stuff. I have 2 7" Kindle Fire HD tablets that I want to flash, but I'm too worried that I will mess up and need to get the special cable. Anyway, thanks again OP. This saved my day.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] MrRedPants:
Some days I just get frustrated about this particular debatable issue and needed to rant..so...lucky you (all).

I have this glorious, beautiful, mint condition blue galaxy s3. It's lightweight, beautiful screen, etc. But how many of us really get to enjoy the phone as it was designed - I would guess few to none. Why? I don't know about you guys, but, as soon as I get my beautiful new phone, it is immediately enshrouded (is that a word?) in a screen protector and some sort of case (TPU, otterbox) etc. And there it stays. I mean, I have to keep my phone in mint condition, don't I ?(rhetorical). This so when I want another phone, I can sell it on ebay or swappa as mint and get the most money - and brag about how I take care of my equipment and how it has been protected the entire time I owned it.

Every once in a while I have to do a battery pull or something and I get to hold my baby in my hand, as God - wait, I mean Samsung, intended and enjoy it. And then, something happens. I get kinda mad.

Why am I so determined to protect it? To not enjoy it as it was meant to be enjoyed? Why can't I just let it be free?!!!!!!!

The answer: I don't know. I'm a geek. I'm anal retentive. I don't want it to get any dings in it if I accidentally drop it, or my two year old does.

But dammit - I want my phone to be naked!! (I silently scream to myself).

Do you, good reader, silently scream to yourself? Am I alone in this quandary? Please, share.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] JustSomeDude:
OP, you've expressed pretty much exactly why I was scanning the accessories sub-forum: trying to see how many people make it without a screen protector and/or case. Actually, I really don't mind the thin Diztronic TPU case I have, but I am really itching to remove the screen protector. I sold older phones (Hero, Evo, Photon, Rezound) as "mint" without using a screen protector, but since I got this GS3 last fall, I've read so many posts about how much easier this screen scratches that I haven't been able to bring myself to remove it. But I'm so very tempted...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MrRedPants:
Well I'm glad I'm not alone. I, too, have a diztronic TPU which is fine - but, as I'm sure you know, holding the phone in your hand without it is so nice! Regarding the screen - I have used the tech armor HD and one's that resist fingerprint via Amazon. They are fine - and so inexpensive PLUS they offer lifetime guarantee and great customer service that I'm relatively happy. I've also used the Zagg HD which is fair. And I *E$*$**#*# HATE Zagg as a company and I could do an entire separate post on how little I think of them.

Despite the rant, my phone remains protected.

On a side note, despite the TPU - there are two bizarre little stellate / starburst defects on the back cover. It's hard to call them scratches or cracks.

Anyway, what usually happens is that I have the phone long enough that eventually I say screw it and enjoy it for some time. That's what I did with my DINC.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JustSomeDude:
I'll give the tech armor HD a try, seems reasonable at $6.95 -- I'm still rocking the one that came with the Diztronic case (maybe that's part of my problem).

That sucks about your back cover, but luckily those can be replaced fairly cheaply, especially if you have that Samsung 50% discount.

And yeah, I did the same thing with the Evo, ripped the screen protector off after about a month and never looked back; but I always have a TPU, I need that lip over the screen because of incurable clumsiness.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stevenhglee:
I, too, have the Diztronic Matte Blue TPU and applied the screen protector it came with it. I, too, scanned through this subforum and googled whether I could do without the case. Several times. Even looked for excuses to do so.

I finally decided I need to have it on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gsw5700:
I use a beautiful luxury 'suncase' leather pouch, fits beautifully, very thick meaning it a protected but I still get to hold it as samsung intended. Just be careful not to drop it (which I haven't for the last 3 phones) Can't see the point in covering the phone up unless you work in a hostile environment.

Sent via TCP/IP
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stevenhglee:
I may ditch my diztronic in lieu of a full body film protection like bestskinsever or zagg. For me, the biggest concern with using the phone naked is the fact that it's really slippery in my hand, so these films would provide much better grip. I think that's the closest I'll get to being able to use my phone naked.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:

My OCD probably kicks in, I just cant handle a brand new phone with my bare hands. I even use a microfiber cloth to cover it till I get a scratch guard and a case, which is the very 2nd day I get the phone.

I used to have an otterbox on my s3 but then it became too hard to change the battery when it dies (I have spares) so I picked up one of those soft rubber cases. Works like a charm, and does protect the phone and makes it so it doesnt slide over the table. I also went from the really good flexible screen protectors to the more solid matte ones that dont use the solvent. What a difference a matte protector makes, cant live without it!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] dusty1268:
I honestly trusted the " unscratchable gorilla glass " scheme.. :banghead: I'm using an otterbox commuter case without a screen protector and I have had my GS3 since April... there is about 3 GOOD scratches that are obviously visible when the screen isn't clean.. when I clean the screen though, it just makes me cringe to see the scratches.. Possibly from my nails unknowingly running across the screen and I do have dry hands/fingers so maybe that could also be a culprit to this conflict.. but really? I didn't expect scratches to show up this soon on this phone.. Especially knowing how much I paid for it. Other than that though, I love my GS3.

I always buy a case, because I feel there are times when I might be.... More prone to dropping or losing a phone. I don't use it all the time though, but the UAG cases are sweet. Got the rust one. Highly recommended commended.

I love the feel of the naked GS3 though. Even if the back of my red one is a bit scuffed up. Only some small scratches on the screen which I only notice if I spend a minute inspecting it under some good light. If fine with all that so I keep it uncased.
