I love OtterX. [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] you are really awesome developer! Thanks a lot!

And if [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] does not mind I would kindly share his splash screen slightly modified. Of course you may use it free if you like.

no probs matey.

edit.. there is no kindle left except on the back cover:) its all ox from now on. lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashcode:
Today, I remembered to edit the instructions and instead of having users push to /sdcard/Download (which creates the root:root "Download" folder), I think it's better to just push the 2 files to /sdcard/

adb fix?

What were your steps for fix adb. I'm struggling greatly keep getting permission denied when pushing file also in device manager it shows up as kindle otterx with no drivers? any help would be appreciated. Im on windows. 764bit. bootloader and twrp are updated to latest hash otter versions. just trying to push twa's otterx rom and gapps
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
Installing adb drivers from the last KFU package and restarting computer had helped me to resolve adb connectivity issue when trying to push these files.

Besides try copy these files stright to sd card instead of using Download folder (the last note from Hash).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] titusseid:
will try

Thanks for your response I will try it.

I'm kind of failing at the first two steps already.

Trying to do the backup doesn't work and I'm too dumb to figure that out.

adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0.bin"

/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0: cannot open for read: Permission denied

And I'm also unable to get into recovery mode. The only info I could find anywhere is posted here. "get into recovery by using the power button press during the initial boot and then continue to press power till "RECOVERY" is highlighted".

If I keep pressing the power button the device just turns off, as you'd expect. There's no menu or anything popping up.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
Stock as in still on fire OS? Which version?

If you still using fire OS, you should root first, then flash custom bootloader and custom recovery..

Only after that, you can boot to recovery... Booting to recovery required custom bootloader

Follow sd_shadow's guide. Choose appropriate guide, depending on which fire os are u on

Have you succeed using adb command before with the Kindle? Most of the time I had problems with adb, are because of the cable. Try other cable?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] t3chwizard:
This isn't completely related but I now use my kindle as a remote for my Satellite TV box, and a media player remote over the LAN. I found that using CM10 sgt7 without otterx gave me the best performance out of any ROMs.

You can try using Linux on live USB too
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fifen:
newer problem. my computer doesn't recognize the kf at all. when I plug it in the screen just goes to fastboot. I can't get it out. I can't use ADB since it isn't recognizing it. I think it's stuck in permanant brick.

I even tried this: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428428

it says this: "The system cannot find the path specified." about 10 times and then " Congratulations, your Kindle should be unbricked and rebooting!" but that is not happening. the kindle is still on the fastboot screen.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fifen:
ok I did it and was able to install the drivers. but my computer still does not show the kf in device manager
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
I believe KF cannot be bricked..

Fastboot mode is good. U can use fastboot command to flash bootloader or recovery. Once recovery is bootable, all is good.

I suggest you find a pc with win7 first, since the problem seems to be with win 10 security/limitation.

Did u try other USB cable?

Now if I'm not wrong. Your recovery is still otter, but bootloader already otterx?

I think it's easier for you to:

1. Change partition to Amazon partition...

2. Flash otter bootloader (fff 1.4 or 1.5)

That way you are back to previous setup.

After that you can try the steps again to switch to otterx. Just follow the instructions, EXACTLY as instructed step by step.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
There's a glitch with the OtterX bootloader

If it boots direct to fastboot mode screen, you cannot use fastboot commands

No easy fix, just need to keep rebooting device, till bootloader boots correct or use short pin method
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fifen:
whats the short pin meathod

(yes I did search it before asking)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
There's a link in the index

[INDEX] Kindle Fire Development
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
You can try running fastboot command (it will wait until the device is detected), and reboot the device while the device connected via USB. Once connected even for a short while, the command will be executed.

I never face the glitch mentioned though.

But I had the same situation before. Otterx bootloader and otter recovery. It is fixable. Don't give up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fifen:
it worked. I got 2.6.3.1 TWRP installed. however I can't seem to push the rom file onto the device. and I can't wipe the cache it says failed everytime.

I tried mounting via the mount option in twrp and when I clicked on the kindle in file explorer on my computer it wanted me to format it. is that safe?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
you still have OtterX bootloader?

you need an OtterX recovery
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Fifen:
Yeah I have otterx. I think. What's the difference with otterx bootloader and recovery?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
Only OtterX twrp recoveries work with OtterX bootloaders.

see https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60800749&postcount=12
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
did you convert system partition from amazon to otterx? you can do this with the otterx bootloader.. like i said, follow the instructiion exactly as it said...

- press power button when u see bootloader logo (OTTERX), and choose convert partition, press power button once to choose options, press and hod to choose action... you ll get a warning that you are going to convert etc... the proess is instant, so no progress bar/indicator...

you cant use otterx twrp recovery, that is why we use adb to push the files.. just push rom first, other files can be pushed via mtp once the rom booted.

edit: i just read that you can see kindle's storage on your pc, that is not right, like sd shadow's said, you ll need to use otterx twrp, afaik, otterx twrp's mount feature is broken......

---> flash otterx twrp via current twrp.

CM11 Updates?

Hi guys,

I had some fun going through this process yesterday. I believe I was able to get it all done without too much trouble. I thought I read somewhere that this CM11 build was tweaked specific to OtterX. I was wondering that since we now have our partitions setup, can we flash any old version of CM11 for nightlies or other? Awesome work, thanks for all you do!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] titusseid:
No luck

It went better but when checking adb devices it shows up 2 in the list of devices 1st one emulator-5554 and 2nd recovery. I tried using adb -s and selecting the emulator one and pushing but it still said permission denied? I am at a loss Please help. fyi in device manager it shows up as android now not kindle otterx and it seems like the drivers are working for it? am i missing some supersu or su is that why i keep getting denied?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
no you have to use otterx roms with otterx partitions

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

did you give your pc permission? the 1st time it connects it brings up a dialogue box with a check box on your kindle, you need to except the connection. also just to make sure:) you have selected apps and adb in settings/developer options/root access/ ????

[Kindle Fire Android Development] titusseid:
No way to check as there is no ROM installed. Just don't understand why it says permission denied when pushing

With adb. Thanks for your help anyways.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
Most likely it's only mistype but just to be sure... are you talking about Hash's otter or otterX versions? They are different.

It's hard to say something but you may need to review/repeat every installation step very carefully once again.

The otterx version but it will not push anything. I tried a image file and it was the same permission denied. I'll try from the beginning again. Thanks fire the response.

Shouldn't you do adb -d <command> . That makes sure the command is sent to the usb connected device.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] titusseid:
Thanks for the advice

It must have been a combination of the driver installed from kfu and typing because it is not working.

After I had the drivers working it still showed up 2 devices one being an emulator and the other being the kindle

i typed adb -s commands and i must have tried it like 10 times with no success but then i got the advice to try again and double check for errors and this time i marked in cmd and pasted the device and it worked no problems pushing both the rom and the gapps. Thanks for all your good advice all. As a side note i have never used adb -d i have only ever used adb -s i will do some research on that to see if that is the more effective method. Thanks again.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] dokie80:
I m having crashes quite often with otterX cm, anyone having this problem too?

Usually happen at first time use after sleep, and usually when I open notification panel. kf will freeze, systemui crash and relaunch, and everything back to normal.

Once the systemui process keep crashing, but a reboot fix it.

Xda free app crash sometimes too, once I need to clear cache to fix it, probably the app's issue?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] AtomicFizzle:
That was happening for me before I wiped and reloaded with the OtterX CM. I think it's something flaky with CM in general. It's still happening for me too. I think I heard that it might be caused by theme engine changes in recent builds.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jakethepeg:
how long is it taking the push the file?

Kept it running and its a good 30 mins, with the file still not pushed.

I have tried pushing small files, which go straight through.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
Took about 10 or so minutes for ROM to push and about 5 minuets for gapps for me .
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jakethepeg:
cheers for that, must be something wrong in that case, as been well over an hour, for gapps and still not pushed.

really weird though, I can push smaller files, no problem.

Any ideas anyone?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
I had to update my adb to get it working the first time I tried. You might need to do the same look for SDK Manager on your pc and see what version you have of adb/platform-tools you have mine is version 19.0.1 .
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Jakethepeg:
really got me stumped, updated adb and platform, still just hangs when I try to push the larger files.

I can see the file on my kindle, it just isnt moving across the file in its entirety.

I am suspecting its windows 8.1 woes, as getting the driver on was a pita.

I have been fighting with my computer to get it to recognize the Kindle as a device while in recovery or fastboot for five days now. I was about to post if this upgrade process will work in Linux but I guess [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] has answered this. Any special instructions or just follow the OP???

Edit: Currently my Kindle is still on the Amazon partitions.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
just follow op

edit. and make sure you can adb push from recovery before switching to otterx.

do you have a ubuntu install??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
If I plug the Kindle in a USB port with it booted into Android, Windows (Windows 7 32bit) recognizes it no problems. I can transfer files from the device to the computer and back with no problems. Once I boot into TWRP 2.6.3.1 is when I run into problems, adb devices returns nothing and I can't push or pull files. This has been an ongoing problem with other TWRP Recoveries too. Same problems occur if I use my factory cable for fastboot commands. I go into the windows driver information and it returns a Code 10 error. I've tried deleting the driver and re-installing and rebooting my machine with no luck. I know the problem doesn't lay with adb or fastboot because I have the most current files installed and everything works fine with my HTC DNA.

Way back when I got my Kindle stuck in fastboot mode and had to use SoupKit to recover it. Since I was in the Linux platform anyway I used that to unlock the Kindle and flash the FFF bootloader and TWRP with no issues at all. I don't have a pure Linux machine but I do have an Unbuntu live CD made up and working if that means anything.

I'm not sure what the issue is but my computer and Windows does not like my Kindle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
mmm i have a kindle which only has adb working on pre twrp2.3 only. i hope its not the same issue as i haven't found out why. lets hope its a windows problem. i will send you a pm:)
