7" KF HD 2, 10.4.6

This tutorial worked perfectly, up until the end, step 6.

I'm new to Kindle, but not Android. I got into TWRP prior to downloading CM10.2 and Gapps. And when i try to mount as USB, and this line shows in the log:

"Unable to locate volume information for USB storage mode"

Googling didn't help much with investigating that error. ADB sideload doesn't seem to work.

I don't know what to do from here.

I found instructions via terminal emulator to get it rebooted into fastboot, in hopes of flashing CM 10.2 via fastboot.

Looking up the fastboot syntax for flashing a new rom, I've always used recovery on my other devices, but i don't have that option now.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] to4kin:
ADB Sideload - good idea. Try this manual:

1. Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.

2. From the command line on PC, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip

The file will be copied to your device to whatever the current storage location is that you have selected in the mount page. It will always be placed in the root of that storage location and named sideload.zip (e.g. /sdcard/sideload.zip) and it will automatically delete / overwrite any existing sideload.zip you may have on your device. As soon as the file is copied to your device, it will automatically be installed. When the install is finished you will be presented with a reboot system button so that you can reboot to test your zip.

Note that sideload mode is a separate ADB mode. While in sideload mode, regular ADB commands will not work. Once the zip has been copied to the device and the install starts (or if you hit the cancel button) regular ADB mode will resume.​

My mistake in manual. Better way - copy rom file to sdcard before STEP 5.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] pythonjosh:
I'm still unable to use adb sideload, reports "device not found". I have the usb drivers installed, your tutorial is the only one I have used, I can't use TWRP at all.

It works, but USB drive mounting doesn't work, ADB sideload doesn't seem to work. No errors in the log, but ADB reports device not found.

I don't know what to do from here. It's nothing like 4EXT or CWM.

Ok so I have got it in fastboot by going to Advanced->Terminal, idme bootmode 4

Then I ran fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 1

Then rebooted, doesn't load ROM, got back into TWRP, changed bootmode back to 1, reboot, says I have no OS.

That's my current status. Seems others have been at this point before, still workin on this.

Assuming you have a Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, it's "hard-bricked."

Read the FAQ if you haven't already, specifically Q14 (although, read them all). Then, I would see if you can get Amazon to send you a replacement.

If they won't do that, take a look at this thread and this thread by me. As of now, I've succeeded in returning a hard-bricked KF2 to soft-bricked, but working out some bugs in order to return it to fully functional after that.

It's possible! I did it. I just downgraded the bootloader prior to installing Alien.

push "stack" ...did u mean push "stock" 10.2.6?

so just to be clear, this is what you did:

start with 10.4.6 rooted

flash 10.2.6 ...(what did u use to flash it? any special technique?)

downgrade bootloader to 10.2.4
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] kjhst123:
I meant the "Stack override file:

http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/otter2/stack" (credit to Hashcode)

I started with 10.4.6 rooted, rebooted to fastboot (it's an adb command)

I flashed the 10.2.6 bootloader, not the actual OS. Then I ran fmkilo and Powerpoint45's apk, which, luckily, succeeded. I then proceeded to install Cyanogenmod, which worked. Hope that helps!

---------- Post added at 03:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------

Also, I've heard the apk caused a lot of bricks (that's why the links were removed - the link for V6 on the post underneath works, though) so please be careful with it.

Edit: I think people should try out the apk first because apparently the script also results in a lot of bricks anyway.

yep definitely cuz hash;'s website's only bootloader is the .2.4

After you reboot into fastboot mode, you should try adb devices again, just to see if it is still recognized. It should say fastboot.

Hashcode has the best instructions (automated installs). Your method, sorry to say, is prone fully to the maddening red screen.

You restore it to 10.2.1/3, and root the device.

Install OTTER2_BOOT_PROD (as otherwise known) in fastboot, then reboot.

If reboot suceeded, install the TWEEZERMOD installer.\

Hi all,

After searching for answers to this issue not only in this forum but elsewhere on the web, and failing to find any reference to it, I decided to create this thread.

I have a non-rooted Nexus 7 (2012), which received an OTA update to Android 4.3 some three weeks ago. I have successfully completed the updated, after which my device's build number became JWR66V. So far, so good. :good:

But, days later, my device displayed a new notification that a "System update [was] downloaded". I thought it could be a new, different update addressing bugs, so I "touch[ed] to install". Again, everything went smoothly. I checked however the build number and it was still JWR66V.

Days later, new notification: "System update downloaded". I installed it to get rid of the notification.

And again and again for the fifth time now. It usually happens after I reboot.

I wonder whether anyone is experience similar issue - and whether this is an issue at all. :confused:

Any help or information is highly appreciated.

Thanks!

As you can see from the two screenshots attached - one taken before I 'updated' (note the "System updated downloaded" icon on the top left corner) and the second after the 'update' - there is no difference between kernel and build number versions. In fact, I believe nothing happens whenever I 'touch to update' (i.e. install the 'new' update)...
