[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVanB:
Possibly Solved

Solutions

1. What root tool did you use? A: if it was bin4ry type in notepad 0x1949 and save it to .android under users/Your User/.android

Like for me it would be users/chris/.android and you would save it to .android dir. if you dont have an .android dir. make one. Then see if your device is reconized as android composite adb device or at least kindle. Also try installing drivers for the kindle and uninstall the drivers and reinstalling them

2. I had a similar problem i rooted my kfhd and it became so slow it wouldnt turn on eventully after 30min. it turned on but was so slow when i sided to unlock it took five minutes. I also i tried rerooting without unroot. it worked so i used binary's root like i was unrooted and my kindle was back again. it turned out when i rooted i only had 50% battery and you NEED to have at least 90%. this also fixed any audio issues.

3. your original kf cord that came when shipped maybe shot and you may need a new one if it wont charge like someone else said "android devices need at least 20% battery to turn on". i dont find this to be true i need at least 5% but find a new cord and charge it seee if it works then.

4. if it turns on the the kindle fire logo flashes quicker then you can boot into recovery. the recovery screen should be a red warning sign saying reboot or restore click restore.

5. with a home made factory cord try booting into recovery mode and follow solution (4).

6. what root apps did you have on the device fire flash? A: fire flash will not work with the new 7.4.1 ota update

Let me know from there if you get your kindle working if no i can supply more solutions based on your answers and the reactions from my solutions.

I can also supply drivers and root tools

Dude, no offense meant really, but posting this big long thing everywhere isn't really helping anybody.....

If your kindle is stuck, you'll need a factory cable. You need to be able to get to fast boot so you can use the Kindle SRT tool, that allows you to flash a clean ROM to your device through fast boot.

They had similar problems giving similar answers. I was just trying to solve the problem.:(

Sorry, didn't mean anything anything bad by that, I just found it's always easier to try the simple things first one by one and not overload with info because the problem usually is just something simple. I wasn't saying that you shouldn't try to help, that's what we should do as a community, just that we should take it one step at a time with simple items first. Again didn't mean anything bad, hope you weren't offended :o

HELP

Hi there guys, I can see that some of you already solved the problem. In my case, I have an UNrooted kindle fire HD. It suddenly shut down when I was playing. ANd then now, it wont open anymore. Been trying to read some forums and stuff but it still wont get fixed. It opens, but only up to the KINDLE FIRE logo only. I dont really know that happened and I dont have a freakin' clue on how to fix it. Can somebody help me please? I miss my kindle so much.:crying:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipsearch:
I am not an expert but this is what helped me.

(1) Try charging the knidle

(2) also try getting Factory cable and use the recovery tool.

Cheers
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letsyrkdelrosario:
HI, yes i've tried charging the kindle using my laptop. Well, the battery is drained. And it charges for quite sometime and then when it gets enough charge, it opens by itself. I cannot hold the power button for it will shut down and wont push thru charging. HEnce when I leave it charging, like I said it would open on its own then eventually shut down on its own again. At this part, I dont know if it still charges. Tried leaving it overnight too but still wont open. As for the factory cable, I dnt know where I could get it. I am from the Philippines. And how do I get that recovery tool? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SAVJR:
I have read through the forums and am hesitant to post, but I am stuck. I have rooted my Note II using Causal and following the tutorial after Verizon's first update.It worked great. I am not using a custom rom, but have the TRWP recovery, super user, busy box installed; I am certain that was part of the Casual Root (thank you Adam). I have also updated Casual to NoYouVerizon, but realized that my phone is already rooted. I want to update to 4.1.2 and have read to not do so OTA. Would someone please either provide a link or directions on how to update I did download the stock Root Odex - I605VRAMC3 on both my PC and my Note II, but have no idea what to do with it.

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] repsol_23:
I was in exact same scenario as you. I was rooted and was just using themes but the only way to get updated was to use a custom rom. I may be wrong but that was my way of updating. Since then I have flashed just about every rom out there that is touchwiz. Been happy with the Beans build 17.

Hope this helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
The best way to do it would be to flash a rom through recovery, and only a rom made for flashing in recovery (ie a .zip, NOT a tar.md5).

You need to figure out which rom you want, download it, make sure the md5 checksum matches, and the flash the zip in your recovery.

There are quite a few choices for stock TW roms, and everyone had a favorite, but you have to decide which you would want and if you want any of the added features. Here are a few of the more popular stock roms that are the latest update from Big Red:

Stock Odex/Deodex:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2108510

This is just the latest straight Verizon stock rom and you can choose the original odex or get the deodexed version if you want to theme your phone because having a deodexed room makes themeing easier and less glitchy.

Beans 17:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2032447

This is the latest Verizon stock rom with a few added tweak and it is themed to look like an AOSP rom.

CleanRom VZW SE 3.1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2073390

This is the latest Verizon stock rom but it had been completely debloated and had an Aroma installer so you can choose what all you want to be present in the rom. It is different from CleanRom ACE. CleanRom ACE is the latest international Note 2 rom that had been modified to work on our phones, it usually has more updates and features than CleanRom VZW SE because CR VZW SE is the Verizon stock rom with very little added. All CleanRom roms have bloatware removed.

You also need to flash the latest radio along with your new rom if you want the newest radio that came with the VRAMC3 update, the radio will be the VRAMC3 one.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SAVJR:
Thank you - Can the ROM be flashed from a SD Card or does it have to be on the internal card. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cainG2x:
Either or. Just navigate to the folder that it's in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I generally move mine to my external SD because I like to wipe the entire internal memory when flashing to a competent different rom to get rid of all the filets and miscellaneous crap that I let accumulate so it'll be like a freshI new phone.

Then again I have a 64 GB micro SD card and keep several different releases of each rom I use along with all the recovery flashable kernels, radios, GAPPs, current version of TWRP and CWM, a couple previous releases of TWRP and CWM, miscellaneous mods, and various other flashable stuff.

Really its all up to you though. I like to keeo everything perfectly arranged in its own folder in my external and leave the internal for apps, if you want evening on your internal you can do that too!

Just remember if you choose to wipe your internal memory before flagging like I do then itll delete EVERYTHING on your internal SD card so you'll need to back up your media (pictures, videos, and music) because itll be deleted. You don't have to wipe your internal memory and it won't hurt anything if you choose to wipe it or if your choose not to hurt anything, it's completely up to you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SAVJR:
Thank you

Thank you, you have been a great help. I was able to flash Scotts Rom CleanRomAce last night and worked without a hitch. I assume, from what I have read, that I can flash any Rom or updated Rom over this, when the time comes. Just curious, which one do you favor.

Thank you Again for taking the time to help me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
When an updated version of Cleanrom comes out you can dirty flash over the current version you are running, however I ALWAYS clean flash Cleanrom because usually the only reason Scott updates it is to fix an issue, rarely because there aren't many, and when a new version comes out. When a new version comes out I like to clean flash, and its recommended to clean flash BTW, because dirty flashing can lead to all kinds of bugs. As for AOSP it is generally recommended to clean flash because it is more lrone to bugs because its constantly updated. Whenever you flash a different rom though, like from Cleanrom to Beans or CR to anything else, you ALWAYS clean flash it.

Just in case you dont know what a clean flash and a dirty flash are:

Clean is when you do the wipes explained in the OP of every rom thread.

Dirty is when you flash a rom over your current one without wiping anything.

if I am going to use TW I am going to use Cleanrom, its just a personal preference. Some people love Beans because it is modded to look like AOSP, personally I would rather run AOSP. As for AOSP I prefer ParanoidAndroid (aka PA or AOSPA) and Vanilla RootBox (aka VRB or RB). I prefer VRB more than PA lately though because for me it seems more stable at the current time, when HALO is finally released for PA I will most definitely test it out and may switch back until VRB kangs it. Really you should run any that tickle your fancy out and see what you think of them before deciding on just one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SAVJR:
Okay - Maybe you can help me one more time...So I dirty flashed over CleanRom ACE to try Beans17. I didn't like it and flashed back to ACE. Everything was working fine until I realized ACE doesn't support Verizon Visual VM. No real big deal, but I use it regularly. So II was going to flash to CLeanRom SE and when I went to do so, I soft bricked my phone (Triangle of Death). I read through the threads and read Adams post to flash back to stock using Odin (downloaded the correct pit file and tar, but Odin will not recognize the device. I tried new cables, ports and installed the latest Samsung USB drivers. Am I stuck taking it to Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Not yet you aren't, you don't take it to them until its a last resort. this is just a driver issue.

Thats also why I said you needed to clean flash different roms, if you were updating from Cleanrom ACE 4.9 for 5.0 a dirty flash would be acceptable but if you experienced bugs you would have had to go back and clean flash before you could report those bugs and get help from the guys in the CR thread. When flashing completely different roms you ALWAYS clean flash.

Did you put the phone in download mode before connecting to Odin? What OS is your computer on? Do you have both the drivers from droidstyles guide and Kies installed?

I will help you with the driver issue as much as i can but you should really really really create a new thread in the Q&A section about this so it will get more views and maybe Hopesrequiem, droidstyle, and some of the other members who trouble shoot the driver issues can help. You should title it something like Odin driver issue with a soft brick, they'll need to know what OS youre using, what version of Odin you're using, and a lot of other stuff. Before you do that though I have a thread I am going to link in my next post here and I want you to read it and do what it says.

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Here is the link I said I would post, read the OP and do what he did and see if that fixes your issue with Odin not seeing your phone.

Also remember when youre using Odin to put your phone into Download Mode and to launch Odin before you plug your phone in.

My phone suddenly stopped working and I only have access to download mode..

I tried to flash the stock firmware using odin but it failed. I removed kies from my computer and tried different sockets/cables/computer/firmware but it always fails. I guess its because the debugging mode is not enabled in my phone. how can I fix it?

You're having a pc-to-phone issue, I bet my money on it.

Wanna know why?

You've got 3 common errors on 3 different flashes using 3 odin versions.

The other thing you could do while you wait for the other cable is to clean uninstall kies (Your Uninstaller Pro or similar) and reinstall it.

Remember to try all usb ports, and watch the kies applications closer, maybe you missed one of 'em. Full reinstall kies (kies air) to be sure.
