[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleboyd:
Still not working

Thanks for the quick reply.

So I am on a Win7 and/or a Windows XP. Currently on both systems, when I plug it into the computer, with the Device Manager open, nothing happens other than the Kindle turning itself on.

Before it froze up, I saw it in device manager as Android ADB interface, and before doing anything at all, saw it as the default Kindle Fire.

On the Win7 system, I have rerun the driver installation bat over and over and over again, with absolutely no results.

On the WinXP, I have tried it, and for the life of me can't get it to install (it says install failed (Unsigned)). I never connected the Kindle up to this computer before it froze up, so I wonder if that is somehow causing the problem (it is trying to update drivers that don't exist?)

Am I doing something wrong with this? Can I uninstall or delete drivers, and totally start over?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zastava750:
If you are using a WinXP you must install driver manually.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleboyd:
Drivers?

How do I do that, when the Kindle does not show up as being connected? All the guides I have found start off with accessing from the Device Manager. My Kindle does not show up in the Device Manager...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
okay well then you`re running xp use another computer getting the driver installed is hard even for the very skilled particularlly when the device is stuck in fastboot. Friend or relatives computer running windows 7 would be perfect. Otherwise it`s linux on a live usb booted on your xp machine.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleboyd:
Windows 7 - No Dice

Yeah so I have a Windows7. I have reinstalled the drivers (by clicking on the install_drivers.bat file in the KFU) over and over again, and I still do not get any recognition on the computer, or in the Device Manager when I plug in the Kindle.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Try different usb port, make sure they are usb 2.0. Is the logo static or animated? It possible that you broke the bootloader. At some point I would be willing to look at some things for you via teamviewer. If it is not driver related I fear your next move is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1430038. Keep it on charger or off till it can be dealt with.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleboyd:
Thanks! I would be willing to give it a shot (teamview I mean) if you are willing.

I tried the Firekit before I began this thread, but I kept getting stuck trying to run the tool after booting into ubuntu. Perhaps that is a different thread topic, but I am more than willing to put more work into figuring that out, if it could be the key to unlocking this stupid thing.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nixnaegie:
I am having this exact same problem. Using Win XP i was able to get the ADB drivers loaded initially and used KFU to try to install TWRP. When it rebooted during that process it got stuck at the Kindle Fire logo. Since then I cannot get my computer to recognize the kindle. Like you, I feel like i've tried everything.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleboyd:
Glad to know I'm not alone - misery loves company! Solidarity my friend.

I wish I could tell you I'd solved it, but alas, I have not. I'm still working on it, I'll keep you updated if I have any breakthroughs!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nixnaegie:
My next step is trying the Firekit LiveUSB but right now I don't have a USB drive big enough. Once I get one I'll give that a shot.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleboyd:
That's what I am working on as well. I have gotten Ubuntu up and running but am still have difficulties getting the tools to run properly. Hope it works

help

Good morning.

I tried to root my KF, but I have not had success.

Try doing that with the Kindle Fire Utility v.0.9.6, but language error originated.

I followed the instructions on this website "kindlebueno.es/?p=134" but in step 5 stayed on the following: "Installing FFF waiting for device" and the device was left in the boot logo.

Turn the device off and I turned on several times, but stays frozen in boot logo (Martian android kindle fire words in white and yellow)

I tried to get my KF Unbrick Utility v.1.1 with Windows XP but now I recognize the kindle, so I can not do anything.

I tried in another windows xp and I recognized the kindle (but with yellow question mark) but now I can not download the unbrick utility v.1.1. download failure occurs

Is there any way to save my kindle? please I'm desperate.

NOTE: Sorry if my English is a little weird, but I speak Spanish and I had to go to a translator.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Well you have two real big things working against you on this. An operating system that is is extremely difficult to get the driver installed even if the device is in good working order and a language support issue that is throwing a code not allowing installation. There are really only two solid ways around it. A different pc running windows 7 that is US built and does have English language support or running linux on a live usb to bypass all these stumbling blocks. My suggestion if you can not find a windows 7 pc to borrow is to go with the linux option.

You will need a usb flash drive at least 4 gigs or greater that looks like this http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Micro-Flash-SDCZ6-8192-A11/dp/B000UZN2ZK download linx mint mate 13 32 bit dvd from here http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=103 . Pendrive universal usb installer form here http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/.

Insert the usb flash drive and format it, open universal usb installer, select linux mint mate 13 32 bit in dropdown of universal usb installer, select your usb flash drive, tick format. Drag the slider to about 2500 mgs, then click create. When finshed safely remove hardware and unplug the flash drive. Shutdown your computer, insert usb flash drive, power on computer, at first windows splash quickly hit ESC, the select boot menu which will be f8, f10 or f12. When in boot menu select to boot from the usb flash drive.

If you are successful you will, boot into linux. When in linux setup your wireless if needed or connect to your network. Download Soupkit and extract it to your desktop http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1850038 . Double click on the installer select run in terminal. Run option 1 there is no sudo password so when prompted hit enter, it will work through the first part, then select option 2 it will detect a 32 bit operating system and launch Soupkit. Close all windows and select shutdown upper right then reboot because it doesn`t reboot properly on xp you will need to hit ESC at first splash then select boot menu and select boot from flashdrive.

Once back in linux open a terminal type

soupkit.sh

in a terminal this will again open Soupkit. Select change bootmode select normal bootmode your kindle should reboot normally back to the stock OS and you will be out of fastboot. Good luck.

Figured it out!

Much thanks to the pooch who spent hours helping me troubleshoot.

What we (he) did, as far as I remember, hopefully this can be of some service to someone else out there.

1) Figured out that trying all of this on a Virtual Machine is not a good idea!

2) I somehow broke the bootloader in my first attempt, so none of my computers were recognizing the KF.

3) Created a Pendrive to run Linux (ubuntu). Here Requires a USB drive formatted Fat16/Fat32/NTFS, minimum of 2 gb.

4) Once I got Linux running, installed SoupKit.

5) Went through a few tries of booting, rebooting, into recovery mode until the Kindle flickered back to life!

6) Followed prompts on SoupKit to install TWRP, updated TWRP, install FireFireFire, install Android 4.2.

Good luck, I am happy to answer any questions - though I am no means an expert now.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nixnaegie:
Awesome to hear you got yours fixed. I tried firekit to no avail. Am about to try soupkit to see if that works for me. I'll report back. fingers crossed!!

[update] How exciting is it when that screen starts flickering again?!?!? Thanks kyleboyd for having the same problem as me and thanks thepooch for pointing us to the solution!!!!!

Now on to the next step of trying to install 4.2 again!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nixnaegie:
Would you mind elaborating on this part? Especially the updating TWRP part. I assume installing TWRP and FFF are both just through the Soupkit menu. Is the update done in TWRP and is it necessary for the rest?

Also, is there anything I need to do prior to starting this processs?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nixnaegie:
Success!

Got Jelly Bean loaded on to my Fire! Thanks for your help!!

Windows 7 Pro worked (KFU (Win 8.1 Pro & SoupKIT on Ubuntu 32b 13.10 failed)

Same boat; factory cable w/ soupkit Ubuntu i386 13.10; KFU would not work (hash error on cat file even w/ Android SKD KF drivers).

Moved on in Windows 7 Ultra worked; It had same hash error; but had Windoze ignore it & install anyway

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ch1pn3ss:
For the past week or so my phone has had flickering multicolored lines flash across the homescreen(s)/lockscreen when I turn the display back on. Sometimes it will also happen if I'm sitting on the homescreen with the display already on.

Here is my Rom history as the problem began:

Was on supernexus (Android 4.2.2 I believe) - issue was not present

Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6 (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset before install)- started having the issue

Flashed Unofficial Slim build 6.2 (wiped cache/dalvik)- issue still present

Flashed AOCP 5.7 yesterday (wiped cache/dalvik/factory reset and formatted internal SD)- thought issue was gone, but it started happening again today.

I tried taking screenshots but the issue disappears as soon as I press the volume+power button to take the screenshot. This only seems to happen when I'm on the homescreen/lockscreen, I dont think it has happened while in any other apps.

I'm wondering if this might be an issue with the specific version of the Nova launcher, as I believe that is the common denominator between these Roms (isn't AOCPs launcher based on CM's nova?). I just installed go launcher and the problem seems to be gone (for now).

Has anyone else seen something like this? I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere, I spent several hours searching Google and XDA before posting. I can post a picture later when I have access to another camera phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Irvin.Ascencio:
Same issue here

I have the same issue at the lock screen. Prevalent on all JB roms I have tried, carbon, revolt & slim bean.

I'm currently using Carbon nightly. I have not seen a fix for this yet. I have heard it might be an issue with the processor waking up from sleep.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ch1pn3ss:
After installing Go Launcher Ex opening it a couple times and then going back to using the Aspire launcher that came with AOCP, I haven't had this issue again all afternoon. Didn't have it at all yesterday though, so it might come back.

I played around with all the brightness settings but it didn't seem to do anything. Do you happen to have any pictures of the effect you are getting? I'll try and post a picture of mine tonight if it happens again. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Irvin.Ascencio:
About 3 hours ago, I changed some GPU & lock screen settings and the issue has not reappeared.

I will post back either later tonight or tomorrow morning with some info.

I haven't taken any photos of the problem yet. By the way, do you usually experience the issue on lock screen coming from a screen off state?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] atomsmasher:
ditto on this. I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed and I get these lines intermittently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pockets916:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zefir738:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nimixes:
same issue

Have the same issue going on had freezing and resolved that now I'm stuck on these lines multiple diff ROMs I am running cm10 I see people saying he overlays can someone provide a little more info on what that is and where to find it? Attaching screen shots of these multi color lines we speak of

Nvm can do it with the browser will edit this later and add them with a pc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pockets916:
Go to settings, developer options scroll half way down and you will find it. You will have to disable it every time you reboot or you can use two paid apps from the market. These apps are tasker and secure setting they are both worth every cent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Kraize:
Do you have any backlight handling apps? I used lux all the time and it stopped after I disabled it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] atomsmasher:
Just enabled "Disabled HW overlay" and "Force GPU rendering". Like some of the users suggested, I found about the possible solution from this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhhPPke_Nbw

(go to 1:40)

I usually get the flickering with the lock screen (I use WidgetLocker Lockscreen). I was having some flickering this morning and checking both of those options seemed to immediately cut out the flickering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Demmonnixx:
I ran across it(the flickering lines) on one of the 4.2.2 roms, can't remember exactly which one but what I ended up having to do was disable one of the tweak apps it came with and install Trickster Mod only. Worked for me, no more flickering or rebooting, not sure what the cause may have been but have had no other issues after that for I believe it was 2 weeks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nimixes:
Please elaborate

By chance can you give some more details about this Trickster Mod like where to find it and what it is supposed to do?

A link to a thread would be great :)

Scroll down to my post there. If you still need help, just let me know.

Trickster mod I believe is mainly for Rom's that have Kernels that can be OC'd or Under Clocked. Kind of the same as Android Tweaker or SetCPU but is a little smoother for me IMO.

Hello,

I'm a Visual Basic programmer for some time now.

Made some useful stuff they tell me.

Used C++ (Borland) about 10 years ago, so that’s a bit rusty.

Now I've ordered a Qtek 9090, and I would want to develop some software for it to. So I downloaded and installed the SDK and eMbedded C++ 4.0.

I thought, I start out on the emulator......

:oops: I can't even get my own "Hello world" program to work........

I have downloaded a "Hello World" program which I stepped through in debug mode. I have NO idea what they are doing there.

It contains about 20 files, hundreds lines of code, just to put "Hello World" on the screen of the emulator.

And I hoped that:

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("Hello, world!\n");
return 0;
}

pleased in a form, would do the trick……… :(

The help in the IDE does not work.

Re-install it tell's me. I have done so, but the help function does not work.

Where is the "visual" part in the embedded Visual C++?

How do I place forms and buttons e.g.?

I have no idea where to start now.

Searched a lot of forum's for starters-help, but I can not find anything that helps me on my way. I just hope I've not become stupid.....

Would somebody please help me on my way?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chiark:
Can I wholeheartedly recommend the book "Programming Windows CE", by Douglas Boling? It's normally cheap (or the second edition is) on ebay and it really is good.

Failing that, you're writing a console based application for something that uses a windowing environment by default, so you'll either have to change what you're linking to, or have a winmain that makes use of a graphical UI rather than stdout. Call MessageBox perhaps? This is all made *so* much easier with a working help system that you need to get that working.

You can manage resource files visually, so it really is Visual development. Plus, for free, it's an excellent development tool. Well, it isn't bad.

The best advice I can give is to get your machine set up correctly with EVC2002, or EVC 4 with SP4 and the appropriate SDKs, and take it from there.

Good luck starting out.

Cheers,

Nick.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dox33:
Thanx. I'm going to order that book.

Well, yes. I know. Like I sayed, I usualy work with VB. It was just me, trying to oversimplify things. :-)

What I ment to express is that I'm pretty supprised I still have to write the message-loop and the main-loop and the jsadgkh-loop and....

I just hoped to put up some forms and attach code to it. But maybe I'm missing the clue on this.

I have set it up on an other machine yesterday, and there the help works.

Today I'm going to make use of it.

Well.... That part, the visual part, I don't see yet, but like I sayed, I'm going to work throuhg the help, now that I've got that working.

And a 'free' tool. Well, that's allways nice. I think it is good for us, AND good for them. The more software there will be on the market, the better the devices sell. :-)

Thanks for you tips.

Rens
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chiark:
Dox, drop me a PM, I've got an old copy of the book you can have if it would help :)

Re the message loop stuff, you've indeed got options. You can either use the message loop approach hitting the API directly, or you can opt for using MFC to abstract the stuff away from you.

Personally, I prefer the straightforwardness of using the API rather than MFC. By the time you've written one application, you've got the bulk of the next :D . I also write for older machines, and the overhead of MFC is a consideration, but on the XDA it really isn't.

If the application is simple, it can all be handled by a DialogBox. You will need to write a DialogProc to handle the appropriate messages, but the need to register a window class, get messages off the queue etc is removed from you. Similarly, you can have multiple pages on a single dialog box using propertypages.

If you did want to write a console application, you can do this but you need to change the linker options within EVC.

Have a good look at the samples, too, there's some real good stuff in there.

Cheers, and good luck :D
