Can you help me? It says on mine "waiting for device" what drivers have you installed on yours?

hi what says waiting for device computer?cmd?srt?fastboot?adb????????????????
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I'm guessing he's running the fastboot command. If your device is in fastboot and that command hangs it is probably your drivers, download the ones in my signature, and right click the Soho pvt device and hit update drivers, and point it to where you extracted mine, that should help with the hang.

Thanks dude. Just a quick question here, can this process be done on mac , because i happen to have all the files here...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I believe that mac's have the driver built into the kernel much like Linux since macs are based around Unix. If all else fails make a Ubuntu 13.10 live CD/USB and boot your Mac from it and try from there{note booting a Ubuntu USB is slightly more difficult thanks to apple not letting you normally boot from USB unless it is one of their installers/os's, there's a way around it though that's fairly simple but I forgot the program name, just Google "Mac boot from USB "or so etching like that and you will find it.).
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davethebrave14:
Well i downloaded your drivers from your signature, but while installing them a message popped up> " Android ADB Interface The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file. The file is likely corrupt." ehm not sure what to do now mate? please help....
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
That means you need to disable driver signature enforcement which I usually only see on windows 8, also heard its on Windows 7 64 bit but my 64 windows 7 laptop never cares it just asks me are you sure. Google how to disable driver signature enforcement for your is, it's fairly easy.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davethebrave14:
Okay, disabling my drivers signatures now.. then going to install your drivers again and run the commands...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davethebrave14:
Well, I can hopefully say that this is the final problem I will have before I can save my kindle..

Ive ran all the commands.. the boot and the recovery have been successful up until the system stock..

It says, "FAILED <remote: data too large> <1277952 KB>

Please help mate this seems like the final problem in my way. Im on the verge of happiness dude. Please reply as soon as possible.

Thanks man

Turtel2k1 had the same exact problem, I think the system image either went bad on upload or something, we probably need it to be reuploaded. I suggest whoever uploads it not use a zip but instead md5sum it on their kindle then when they upload it it, upload it to a site like dev-host that posts the md5sum of it so they can be sure it uploaded intact.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
as long as the md5sum's match up it should be fine. if the file sizes don't match but the md5sum's do, it because your computer doesn't use the same size units to store data, forget the term offhand but by units i mean i think clusters or blocksize. its not importanrt though. i need to turn spellcheck back on before i make any more posts.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
I'm guessing something to do with the decriptor that tells what filesystem it is or something around those lines, but I have no idea that's just a guess at best.

Edit: or possibly it wants a sparse image, and that image was like 3,8gb so i'm guessing it was the userdata partition.

If someone with a working rooted kindle fire hd 2013 that is rooted wants to give me either ssh access on a linux machine or teamviewer access, i can look into whats going on with this kindle, see if i see anything noticeable about the partition layout, you will probably need a copy of busybox and rom toolbox installed as well.

After talking with Hashcode I'm thinking i may have to make a sparse image of the system partition in order to get it to flash because i think fastboot's buffer isn't big enough for the system image since the system image i dd'd is around 1.3GB, and i think the buffers limit is somewhere in the 900mb range. I'll see about posting it asap, but i have to wait on the system image to be uploaded first so i can load it up in my linux os and try to turn it into a sparse image.

well this is not going well, i managed to create a sparse image i think, i wanted to do it with a simple binary command but that would have been to easy because from what i read the program i was using is a broken package on ubuntu 13.10. Long story short i did it manually by mounting the img, filling in the empty space with 0's. then cping it with thte sparse always option. Good news is i made a sparse image, bad news is its still 1.1gb, i need it to be under 1gb... I don't know if i can remove certain apps or not, but if there are certain apps i can remove to help get the image under the needed size, them i can create the most ghetto'd restore tool ever, it would restore the images, then have to push the rest back and chmod it via adb. What a pain that would be. If anybody knows what apps are safe to remove then feel free to tell me.

I'm going to see about doing it today (Saturday), i'm going to throw a fit doing I'm sure because I'm going to flash back to a 7.x.x os on my kindle, play around with renaming amazon apk's and rebooting, my luck I will accidentally update and get stuck in a boot loop without custom recovery and have to build a fastboot cable, might just disable my WiFi while I do this to prevent that, I have to find the nandroid backup I made of amazon os on my backup drive. Luckily this will be a fairly easy procedure, if I boot loop, I just go into recovery, go into an adb shell and rename file back to what it was. And then I just hope I have a big enough stroke of luck that I can clear a few hundred mb of junk. If I can succeed in doing so I will attempt to remove those a files from the stock system image and sparse it and let you guys test it, assuming it even flashes you will either boot loop or boot up. I will post a list of files that can be removed when I'm done.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Yea I know, its the best I can do to approximate what is safe to remove on a 2013 model since I don't have a 2013 model. It's better to test out unbootable system images on a already bricked kindle rather than a unbricked one anyways so I think this method is good.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davethebrave14:
awesome guys keep it up!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Well I finished making the changes to the image but I,m having problems sparsing it now, might have to pull out my old pos Debian computer. I was able to sparse it before but now I'm just ending up with a time that is the same size and I'm like hello there's about 220mb of free/null space right there... BTW someone should confirm this but I think amazon made another move to restrict us non our kindles, I noticed that on the 2013 model that the fonts directory has no fonts in it, though it probably won't appear that way on your device, what they did was make a directory (/system/sqfs) and put a fonts.sqfs in there. Sqfs means squashfs(the same kinda file a ubuntu live CD uses for its filesystem that loads data into the ram. Long story short its a read only filesystem that probably mounts to /system/fonts. Being read only would mean we can't add or remove fonts. I had to recreate the sqfs time with a few fonts removed as a temporary measure to reduce space. Anyways that's what I've been up to, I'll keep trying trying o get this stupid image to sparse itself.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleberry.graphics:
Of all the things to restrict and they go for fonts? I want their settings page gone and google now working, who gives a scrap about font!? Haha, anyway, great work, keep it up!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
ok first off i am not responsible for damage this image causes, just getting that out of the way, this image may not work but i need someone to test it to find out, had to sparse it with android tools, if fastboot will even flash it then it might just bootloop, i had to remove stuff that didnt have any effect on amaon's 7.4.x os, no sure if it will on the 11.x os. There is also a chance it might bootup and get to the launcher and start having alot of errors, because when i tested this i had go launcher hd running as my default launcher so i don't know if the stuff i removed will mess with the stock launcher. Long story short please test this if your kindle is bricked.

DO NOT TEST THIS IF YOUR KINDLE IS WORKING!

System Image

STOCK-BOOT.IMG

STOCK-RECOVERY.IMG

check the md5sum if you want, it lists it when you download it.

Also if this does bootup and it doesnt want to get to the homescreen completely, please mention if you can get to the screen where you can turn on usb debugging, because if you can with the current image i'm going to probably code a system restore script for this kindle that pushes the rest of the files back onto the device.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleberry.graphics:
Do you know if testing this can kill fastboot?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
no it shouldnt kill fastboot and if you killed fastboot i would have more worries than that because fastboot is built into the bootloader, this is just like flashing a system image on the previous kindles except i had to sparse the system image so it would fit into the fastboot buffer. Should be relatively safe as long as you know what you are doing.
