[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ron214:
Hello, I have a rooted Kindle Fire (with bootloader) and tried to return it to original Amazon Stock OS.

I tried the steps specified on this page androidcowboy.com/2013/06/how-to-return-kindle-fire-hd-to-stock/

After this steps:

"Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the Kindle Fire SRT Tool and double-click on “SR Tool” file. Choose option 1 for “Restore-Factory Rooted with Superuser.apk”. Be patient as it’s very important. The file transfer can take up to 5 minute with no progress notification. If you interrupt the process in any way then you will BRICK your device. After the transfer is done then choose option 4 to “Erase cache and userdata”. Once it’s finished then choose option 6 to reboot."

It rebooted and seemed to be stuck at the white and orange Kindle Fire logo screen. I can turn it off and on by holding the power button, but my computer cannot detect it as a portable device or ADB. But I can enter fastboot mode by plugging the USB while it is turned off, so I don't think it's hard bricked.. I hope so.

Any thing wrong that I have done? Sorry I'm a noob when it comes to this. Help please?

Btw, my Kindle Version 8.4.1
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Is it boot looping on the animated kindle logo or the static image one? Cause either way I'm guessing something went wrong with the flash, you should probably reflash the boot and system images, try using kindle fire first aid if the SRT doesn't work, I believe it has a stock rooted image flashing option like SRT. BTW don't confuse boot with bootloader, boot is where the kernel is stored. Just pointing this out because if you don't need to flash the boot loader then u shouldn't, if it corrupts you have a hard brick.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ron214:
I do have KFFA, which option should I choose? And mine is stuck on a static image one.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Weird sounds like it doesn't want to even try to load the os, maybe some things wrong with the kernel, anyways I haven't ever used kffa, but there should be an option somewhere to restore system image. You will first need to get the device into fastboot mode, just open a command prompt and CD into the kffa directory, I should have a fastboot command, and run this: fastboot.exe -i 0x1949 getvar product

Then plug your kindle in with the power off. If for some reason it doesn't work, which it should because you seem to have flashed something from fastboot before, then u will just have to update a driver before it disconnects.

Edit: OK fixed sorry for the thread mix up.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anchorman42:
Same problem

I have a KFHD 8.9 with the same problem as the OP. It's stuck on the static (orange) Kindle Fire logo. I have working drivers and I am able to get it into fastboot using "fastboot.exe -i 0x1949 getvar product". The problem is, I don't know any of the history of how it got this way. I have repaired a lot of Generation 1 KF's and I thought I would get started on the Gen 2's so I bought this on eBay this way. I didn't realize how much more risky it was to work on the Gen 2. I also have KFFA working but I can't figure out how to get the stock image onto the KF so I can flash it back to stock. When I go into fastboot mode and use KFFA to reboot to normal more it just stops on the static Kindle Fire logo. Also, I can't get ADB to work at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
There's an option in kffa to restore the system partition, should be a fairly obvious choice, if you can't find it try the kfhd system restore tool
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anchorman42:
Well I tried KFFA Option 7 - Completly Restore the KFHD 8.9 8.1.4 (Fastboot) but it didn't work. There is a problem in RunMe.bat with the wget command when trying to download the .img files from dropbox:

Connecting to dl.dropboxusercontent.com|174.129.21.126|:443... connected.

ERROR: cannot verify dl.dropboxusercontent.com's certificate, issued by `/C=US/O

Unable to locally verify the issuer's authority.

To connect to dl.dropboxusercontent.com insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'

Unable to establish SSL connection.

So then, I Downloaded the KFHD_SRT tool and managed to restore the system partition but it still would not boot. Then I saw down at the bottom of the instruction page that to downgrade to 8.1.4 you also need to restore the boot and recovery partitions. After I did that -- PRESTO! my KFHD 8.9 booted up and is now working.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE HELP!!!!! :o I will be sure to click the "THANKS" button.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tri0xinn:
Weird.. just checked the release date of the i777 and it's been less than 2 years.. Oct. 2011. Feels like at least 4 years. I broke my Note2 and had to break out the old i777 till the next slew of releases(I have an LG G2 on order). Anyway I installed Shostock3 on the phone.. installed Apex launcher and it appears to be stock android 4.1.2. Slick as snot! For average use it seems close to as peppy as my note2.. also after disabling a few things the battery lasts me through the day on a charge.. but just barely. Definitely a good back up phone. When it was released I would have never thought the Super Amoled Plus screen would be showing it's age.. but it's starting to.. must be the resolution. Can't beat XDA and the support here for our devices!:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
Yeah I'm still on contract with the gs2 and waiting for it to expire next month. My screen looks so bad compared to the nexus 4 or even another oled in the moto x. Way over saturated. I have two s2s, so when the nexus 5 comes out I can replace the 2nd one (got the nexus 4 last week on sale).

Amazing how long 2 years is. I got it first day it came out, Oct 6 I think. I was the first person in that best buy on Saturday morning. :)

Hopefully the nexus devices will last longer. With 2gb of ram on newer devices, I can't see a day when they will be too slow/old to get updates, unlike my old droid eris.

The 1.13 is the highest radio rom at the moment.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] dynastykai:
Cont.

It may be the highest but not the newest right? Is there a standard between the companies that release it or do they fix issues and release different versions. Basically I am asking yes 1.13 might be the highest but does that mean 1.12 from china released sept 2 mean its better. Are we going by dates are just numbers.

Hi, I am using this device with it's original rom, but I want more simple and eady rom.

Hi, I recently started to have problems with the YouTube app.

If I use it on Wi-Fi nothing strange.

If I'm using 3g network sometimes it doesn't log in and gives this message:

"A network error was encountered" (more or less, it's a translation from Italian)

When this happens I can't open videos, it says "Video format not supported", no matter if it is in HD or not.

If, then, I connect to a wi-fi network and open the app everything works again, even on 3g.

Did someone experience this?

I can definitely exclude Rom, kernel and mods interference.

I'm on cm 10.1, Fancy kernel.

Hi, I have problem with seeing my external card. In some apps I see external card(like Poweramp), but in total comander I cant external card see. I have latest Slim 4.3 rom and Semaphore kernel. Can somebody help me?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
The way the external_sd is mounted in ICS roms and above is different, for some unknown reason.

In GB roms its /sdcard/external_sd

In ICS roms and above its usually /storage/sdcard1

Its still able to be read by apps like Poweramp because they still scan both the internal and external storage. However some file explorers like Total Commander can't see them probably because they don't allow the user to go outside of the internal memory when exploring files, or in other words the file managers can't explore root folders (which is a shame because the only access to the external sd is through root folders).

There have been workarounds but I've never got them working.

Your best choice is to use another file manager app that does let you access /storage/sdcard1.

Yes you need clockworkmod recovery which requires root to install
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naeembabakheil:
Hi !

I have Sony Xperia P with latest JB 4.1.2 work fine .

i check my phone through Service Testing Code and found that my phone is Bootlaoder Unlocked :Yes so i check by powering Off my phione and Press Up kep and power key but it wont Boot into Bootloader menu... how can i Boot my Phone i also check this with volume down button also...:crying:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
You are confusing bootloader with CWM based recovery.

Unlocked bootloader only means you can install custom kernels not made by Sony.

To have CWM recovery you will need to either, install a stock based custom kernel which already includes the recovery, or root your phone and install recovery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naeembabakheil:
Good u got me

yeah u r right i am confused becoz i am new to this phone.

oh ! i have JB 4.1.2 so its from sony and my phone is not rooted & cant Boot into that menu is it Right !!!:)

i also try UnlockRoot Pro software but it Fails to Root My device it reach to 50% & then show fail message ... ??? :eek:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
What is your firmware build number?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naeembabakheil:
i think it has latest JB Build Number 6.2.1.100

Kernel version 3.0.8 ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
You can root with DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit and then install CWM from CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 for Locked Bootloader.

This CWM recovery has a glitch which won't indicate charging while phone is off. I have fix for Xperia P but it can only be installed if you did not attempt to install that one.

Or

You can flash custom stock based kernel, you can find a few in Xperia P Android Development.

Do you have PC Companion installed?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naeembabakheil:
I have Pc Companion & also install that tool DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_perf-event-exploit i run it press any key & it install script i think it root my phone then i Run UnlockRoot Pro & Press Root & this Time it Works now its says Root Success !!!

now how can i check my phone is rooted or not any Tip !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Start PC Companion repair and wait untill it asks you to turn off the phone and connect it in flash mode (colume down ahile connecting the USB)

At this stage stop PCC and exit it.

Download flashtool and create firmware FTF as expalin here.

This is just to have a backup firmware in case you need it

Try to install my modified CWM for Xepria P. You only need to press volume down once when the notification LED turn on gray.

If you already installed the other CWM I've linked to do not attempt to install this one.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naeembabakheil:
Thanks now i understand little

Hey i change my upper reply plz read it and for Booting in recovery Mode Menu i have to install CWm recovery Tool after rooting ...

and with falsh tool i will backup my orignal JB 4.2.1 firmware & if something wrong i will put it back is it ...:)

& Without CWm recoery Tool installed i cant boot into recvery mode ??? i am right !!! although phone is rooted !!!

For Rebooting into Recvery Mode i have to Press onyl Volume Down key only or also Press Power key ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Install app that require root, like Greenify, there also Root Checker you can install
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naeembabakheil:
I installed Illumination Bar app for Xperia p & it says, before rooting it only runs on rooted phones & Now it also runs i thnk it now rooted !!!!

so for booting into recoery mode i have to install CWm recoery Tool without this tool it wont Boots ?

& should i Press Volume Down key alone or also press power Button , &during this what should i do with USB should i connect it when i want to boot it or remove usb cable and then Boot into recovery Mode Sorry for my bad English :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Yes you must install recovery or a kernel that has one built into it to have recovery.

On our Xperia devices it's pressing the volume down key after powering up. Some CWM implementations has LED indication when to press it so one time is enough, other that do not have LED indication you need to press every second or two untill CWM comes up.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naeembabakheil:
Thanks !

Today i learn some basics from u, Thanks very much Time to Sleep

GudNight :good:

I will try these tools
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Actually, if you plug the USB cable CWM will prepare to boot too so you can boot CWM before it switch to charger, once it switch to charger you won't be able to start CWM unless you disconnect the USB cable first.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
No need for PMs, just quote or mention me in your post and I'll know you replied.

I don't understand exactly what are you trying to do.

To enter CWM Recovery you need to press the volume down key every second or two after powering up the phone and the Sony logo shows up.

To flash firmware with flashtool you need to press volume down while connecting the phone to the USB while the phone is off.

I would advise against flashing abother formware, at least untill you learn a bit more.

Also, before flashing anything start repair your phone with PC Companion, and then when it ask to power off the phone stop and exit, then create firmware FTF file from PCC files as explained in this article to make sure you have the right firmware for your phone in case something bad happen,

Your bootloader is unlocked so PCC and SUS would not flash it, be prepared.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naeembabakheil:
i have ftf file downloaded from internet

thanks for reply i have same latest firmware JB 4.1.2 downloaded from internet i want to install this firmware on existing firmware JB 4.1.2 using Flashtool.

Here is the Log i copy from Flashtool

i have used HTC Desire i root that phone and install recovery .. i just download firmware in .zip format and copy to SD Card and goto CWm recorvy menu and click install upadte from .zip file and my firmware install ...

Can i use same method for Sony Xperia P which i have used for my HTC Desire if Yes

Where can i find that files in .zip so i just copy them to internal memory and install firmawre easily !!! :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Why would you want to install it at all if it's not newer than yours and you don't have any problem?

FTF files can be flashed with flahtool only.

Custom flashable ROM zip files are falshed using CWM Recovery.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naeembabakheil:
learn another tip thanks

ok ! thanks one more question . :p

Does Sony Xperia P comes with ICS from factory ?

i want its orignal firmware and how can i install that orignal firmaware on my current JB 4.1.2 it is possible How ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Wjen it first came out it came with GB, mine came with ICS,

You can search for FTF that is compatible with your region or a world one, and flash it with flashtool.

Look for 6.1.1.B.1.75 or 6.1.1.B.1.54, .54 has the 8MP flash bug(not all the picture iluminated)

Exclude TA when flashing if it exist in the file.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] naeembabakheil:
That make me confused some came with ICS some with GingerBread

i think i have internal version.

i am from Pakistan . i think here all phones are internal version some i also saw T-Mobile,AT&T etc in 2nd Hand market but in New all are international versions.

Here is my phone pic attached !!! :highfive:
[HTC One X+] toohsieh:
Hi all,

So, I done effed up. I've been running Elegancia with no problems for a while now, and decided off the cuff to try something new. Long story short, I didn't read properly and ended up flashing an International ROM to my phone by accident. No problem, I think, I'll just ADB sideload Elegancia again.

I boot into TWRP recovery and then find that my computer no longer recognizes my phone. So, I hit restore on TWRP, and restore a backup that I'd made beforehand. After everything finishes restoring, I discover to my dismay that the backup did not include my OS.

Now, when I power up my phone, I can boot only into bootloader. When I try to boot into recovery, the phone is stuck on the TeamWin logo and doesn't move. If I turn on the phone without booting into bootloader, I'm stuck on HTC's logo. My primary goal right now is just

In conclusion, I have no idea what to do with the following problems:

1. When booting into bootloader, my computer no longer recognizes my device, so I have trouble flashing TWRP. Basically, my computer searches for an HTC MTP driver, and then fails to find one/install one. When I try to update the driver manually by downloading a MTP driver and then installing via Device Manager, Windows tells me I'm already using the most up-to-date version.

2. When booting into bootloader and then going to Recovery, my phone will boot into teamwin's logo ... and then not move from there.

I'm aware that I've screwed up pretty bad-- I've done my best to read stuff that's relevant, though. I'd love more help, please! Thanks in advance. Lots of invisible cookies coming your way.

[EDIT: It turns out TWRP was just taking a really, really, really long time to load. That said, my problem now is this:

- When going to Advanced -> ADB Sideload, my computer does not recognize my device when using adb devices.

How can I make sure that this actually works? Thanks again!]

[EDIT #2: Okay, um, I don't know why, but for some reason my computer now lists my device after going into sideload from TWRP. Maybe something to do with a reboot of my computer. If that's true, I feel really stupid. Will update if sideload doesn't work ... I think the cosmic gods are laughing at me. I guess all I had to do was post in xda-developers so that I could publicly embarrass myself before I fix my phone.]

[EDIT #3: Everything works and I'm dumb.]

I have spent hour's & hour's reading on the how to of Big Storage (and other things) and now it’s my turn to offer you my way of doing these wonderful modifications..

I have updated my document to reflect the changes I make to my Magician. The document describes my "How To" in modifying the following items;

Big Storage

Customize your Boot Screen

Fix the "Error 120" country error when changing ROM's

Fixing the "Speckles" in photos taken with the built in camera

Please let me know if you find anything in the document that is wrong, needs improving or what ever you feel relevant.

1. Press the camera button, power button and reset button simultaneously to get into boot loader as usual, so that 'Serial' is displayed on the screen.

2. Insert SD card.

3. Again, press the camera button, power button and reset button simultaneously to get into boot loader, so that 'Serial' is displayed on the screen.

4. At this point you should get the Upgrade prompt.
