Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I don't see a forum for the phone that I own. Here's my problem, flashed a keyboard file and now my phone is stuck on the boot logo. The phone does not have CWM installed at all. However it is rooted, and does have busybox pro installed. The phone also does not have a external SD card slot. So I can not load a stock rom and flash it back via the sdcard.

big question now, is there a way for me to connect my pc to the phone and see the internal storage of the phone, if so what do I need and how do it do it.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Not the wrong forum, since your device isn't listed this Q&A section is the correct place posted. Unless this thread got moved?

Firstly, how did you flash the keyboard file if there was no CWM (Recovery) installed ?

Now can you answer these questions. It'll help me.

1. What device do you have.

2. Did you device have recovery before you "flashed" the file?

3. Can you boot into bootloader

4. Since you don't have an external SD card, I don't know? But you can push files to your SDcard via Bootloader I assume.

5. What file did you flash? (Link to file).

6. Have you tried to force flash an official update for your device?

Explain these questions and I'll have a better chance of helping you out. And so I can explain it you properly.

1. I am using BLU vivo 4.8 HD (also called gionee elife E5)

2. there is a android recovery on the phone. I tried the erase data/factor reset option and nothing happened

3. I don't think so. I can get into a recovery window by pressing power and the vol up key

4. That's the problem. I don't know how to get my computer to see the phone via ADB when it's connected.

5. I flashed this keyboard http://www.thetechaholic.com/article_1087.html

6. I would try to flash rom but i can't get access to the phone when it's connected to my computer. And there's no external SD card available
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Boot into the recovery, your PC should detect your device. Using adb push an official update. Then force flash the official update.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
Just putting this out, this is my first time rooting and 'trying to get android' on a device. I recently got a kindle fire 2nd generation but hated the UI and other stuff. My friend suggested me to try rooting it and turn it into an android tablet instead. Following the rooting guide in the forum, I have successfully rooted the device. The next step was installing the 2nd bootloader and TWRP. I followed Hashcode's guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2100963

but got stuck at step 4, flashing the bootloader. I have searched the thread but have not seen anyone solving the issue I'm having. Using cmd, I got the device to boot into fastboot mode and tried to type in 'fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin'. However, it returned an error: cannot load 'otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin' : No error. Can someone help me? Your help is much appreciated.

Extra Info:

Amazon Kindle Fire 2 on 10.4.8 (rooted and has SuperSU)

using Windows 7 as workstation

installed KFFirstAide (yes, I have tried option 40 but stuck on <waiting for device>)

Also, I have put the 'otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin', 'otter2-twrp-2.6.3.0-recovery.img', and 'otter2-freedom-boot-10.4.6.img' files in the C:\KFFirstAide folder. (I was thinking this might be the reason why it is not working but cannot be sure)
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Yea you are kinda right, its because you are running the command from the system32 folder, you need to be cd'd into the folder that the files are in to run that command so "cd c:\kffaide" or w/e first and then run that command. Make sure you check the md5sum of that file before you flash it so you don't end up with a hard brick.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
I have checked the md5sum of the files using a program I found here on xda. I'll try to do the cd from file right now and I'll let you know how that went. Thank you for the quick reply.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
Ok, I got it up to the TWRP recovery screen. But how do I continue to flash the stock in step 4 after installing cm10.2 and gapps? Also, I do not have a factory fastboot cable.

EDIT

After installing CM10.2 and gapps, I hit reboot on TWRP and has 'unfortunately, com.android.phone has stop working' message popped up on the screen. Is it because I haven't continue to the section "Flashing back to stock" in step 4?

EDIT2 (I don't think this is related to the bootloader problem but I would like some assistance)

I rebooted again and didn't get the 'unfortunately' messages again. However, when I plug it into my computer, the device doesn't charge when it is active but charges when I put it into sleep mode. Is there any way to fix this issue?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
That's because a pc doesn't put out as much amperage as a charger so it doesn't charge unless it is idle. Btw I recommend flashing cm 11, it is more up to date and has has improvements made to it that I think aren't added to cm 10.2.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
I see. Where can I find CM11 and how do I flash it? Is it just:

1.put the file into /sdcard

2.reboot into TWRP recovery

3.uh, wipe memory?

4.install CM11

5.reboot

correct me if I'm wrong. I wasn't sure if these are the correct steps because there are a lot of different guides and most of them don't have the same steps.

P.S. Since the kindle only has 8gb, is there a way to free up more memory on the device other than the needed memory space for the os?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You have to factory reset to goto it. Download latest gapps as well. It should be in the development section for kf2 here on xda. Lemme find a link.

Link found!

As to freeing up space all I can say is delete stuff you don't need. I don't tend to get low on my hd but the again I have a 16 gb model.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
"Factory reset to go to?" Also, I should put CM11 zip and gapp in sdcard right?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Yes, what I meant was you have to factory reset before flashing cm 11. Kinda like how Amazon os caused a few problems if you didn't factory reset first, same applies when going to cm 11 from a previous cm os.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but how do I factory reset my device? I've been working on rooting to installing bootloaders and finally at the point of getting android os on it non stop. Brain cells are dying rapidly...
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
In twrp hit wipe and choose factory reset.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
Thank you so much for all the help. Everything went smoothly after your advises.

Update: It was running well for a while until when it ran out of battery and I recharged it, it won't boot into CM anymore. It just boots into TWRP recovery even if I pressed the option to reboot system and normal boot... What should I do?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Hmm could be a few things, try reflashing then ROM and gapps again, I suspect something with the boot IMG or system image is messed up. If it were the boot IMG I would think it would kick into fastboot though. Feel free to do a wipe of system, cache, and dalvik cache before you flash anything(under wipe>advanced).
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
I wiped what you said and tried to flash the rom and gapp but when booting, it will still boot into TWRP.

I'll briefly explain what I did prior to the issue.

After everything was all set up, I went to see if there were any updates which there was, the nightlies for CM 11 0518. I hit download and after download was complete, I hit the option "install and reboot". After the orange kindle fire logo came up and briefly after, the blue one, it boot into TWRP. I tried to reboot again but still no changes. So I went ahead and did a factory reset and flashed the two zip files again. The devices still boots into TWRP... I have no idea what to do afterwards and here I am requesting assistance from someone who knows things like these better.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Have you tried wiping internal storage? That's a last resort, maybe somehow your selinux xattribs got messed up. A internal storage wipe would clear them. But it will wipe your sdcard area so backup anything you want to keep over adb first.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
I haven't tried wiping the internal storage yet. How do I backup over adb? Also,since you said this might be a last resort method, if it fails, is there no other way to fix it? Not even restoring back to its out of the box state and start all over again with rooting and installing bootloaders etc?

PS. I don't know if it is related to what you are talking about at all but when I plug it into my computer, it doesn't recognize my kindle fire.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
It should be recognized as an adb device when plugged in while in recovery, in which case your could run

adb pull /sdcard/ sdcard/

And it should pull it, though that syntax may have been a little off, seems like the syntax when pulling a entire directory isn't quite the same as when pushing one if I remember right but I might be wrong.

You could technically try to restore it with kffa by reflashing to stock, but I don't advise doing that just yet because fastboot is rather limited in comparison to twrp recovery. Twrp gives you access to Linux shell commands over adb whereas fastboot does not and gives you simpler commands.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
So in short, to backup, I can just use a adb pull command?

After that, I am lost. I don't really understand what you are saying...
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Yes just type

adb pull /sdcard/

and it will pull everything into the directory you are in, which gb be messy if you execute from something like kffa because vBulletin I don't believe it will create a folder called Edward and put the rules there, it will just put all the files right there so it's recommended to specify an empty directory at the end if that command. The rest of the other post was about the comparison if fastboot versus and access. Kindle fire first aid could try to restore it but if something screws up along the way you won't be able to have as much flexibility as you do with twrp to try and fix it. This is hard to explain from my phone...
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
So the steps are something like:

Backup with adb

Wipe internal storage

Flash the rom and gapp?

Alternative solution:

Restore the whole device

Repeat the root process

Installing the 2nd bootloader again

Flash rom and gapp

And the rest is if I were to restore the device, it is more flexible to use kindle fire first aide than to use TWRP?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Yes, yes, and vice versa. Its more flexible to have twrp access than fastboot. Twrp has access to a command line operating system while fastboot only has flashing and such capabilities. So twrp ftw.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
Ok, so I have backed up and wiped internal memory. I see that everything within /sdcard is gone so I used adb push to push the rom and gapp into the folder. Went into install and flashed both zip files. Reboot but it went into TWRP recovery. Did I miss a step? Or should I proceed to restore the device and start from the beginning again?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Lemme ask hashcode when I get back home and i'm in the irc.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

I haven't gotten a reply yet but i have another theory, it goes straight to twrp after the blue logo right? I'm wondering if somehow the bootmode is stuck in recovery, haven't really seen this happen since kf1. This is all just theory. As a test can you use run this command while in twrp from your pc?

adb shell reboot bootloader

tell me if it goes into fastboot, if it does then great, if not then i'm going to be a little bit on the wtf side.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
I tried typing that in cmd before I push the zip files previously but it didn't have any effect so I just used the reboot into bootloader option from TWRP itself. I was looking at other threads and posts and it really resembled to what some people said, the bootloop and had something to do with the bootmode. I did see that 'bootmode' was an option during the blue logo so when I selected that, it went to the cyanogenmod logo and into the android interface. However, to test if it was working normally (which I really hoped so), I turned it off and on again and this time, without having to manually select bootmode on the blue logo screen.And you know what, it went back into TWRP. So I think it is what you are saying, the bootmode stuck in recovery.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Wait, so you got it to sucessfully boot up but you have to tell it to boot off the system partition everytime instead of just booting like a normal kindle?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
Yes, I can boot it into the android interface but I can't just let it run itself normally without selecting bootmode.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
*facepalm*

i can throw a guess it has something to do with the ota from cm. i don't understand how cm sends a message to tell it to update, i thought maybe it was just if twrp detected a zip in the /cache it automatically would attempt to flash it but if it doesnt work that way its possible somethign was stored on a partition that i don't know of that could be making the bootloader thing it needs to ota everytime it boots up hence the manual selection. This is just a guess at best, if the idme command hadn't been considered legacy or osmethign of the like i would get you to use "su -c idme print" from a adb shell to see what it says but you would have to flash back to amazon os again and its a pain because you need to wipe all the selinux xattribs from data or the amazon kernel wil freak out as it was pre-selinux. If you don't have much on there its not that big of a pain but given your circumstance i think it would be better to not flash back to amazon os. Leave it like it is for now and maybe i will find a solution. Atleast for now its just a minor inconvenience, as long as it isnt shut of its not a big bother right?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
That sounds like a lot of work.. Yeah,other than manual boot, nothing else seems to bother me and it's working normally. For now, I guess I should refrain from updating?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Hmm an update might actually fix it. Just a theory as I don't know the process, you can try updating to a nightly if you want, it might kick it out of doing that. You can always restore it again if it doesn't want to boot.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
I am currently on the 140508 nightly. Last time, I tried to update to the 140520 nightly but that was when I download it from the device itself and made the TWRP bootloop fuss. If I were to update to the latest one now, would it make a difference if I get the zip file from the site and drag it to /sdcard through the usb cable from my computer and flash it with TWRP?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
That probably won't fix it, I asked around and twrp basically checks the cache for a zip and a open recovery script, when you factory reset it it should have wiped the cache, you can still do that from advanced while if you want but I believe the culprit is your bootmode defaulting to the wrong value. I can't verify this without you wiping internal storage and flashing a amazon os zip from the dev section though.

If you flash back to amazon os I highly recommend not connecting to WiFi, an ota would be very bad if it got rid of second bootloader because Idk if you could force /system to boot. And that flashable zip I'm thinking of might be a kfhd7 zip which would be bad... Not sure if there is one for kf2.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] rocketfans14:
Judging from the first part of your message, flashing a zip file to update through TWRP won't fix the bootmode value. But overall, this is still a theory unless I flash an amazon os?

About the second half of your post, I kinda get the ota through WiFi will most likely mess things up and how it might erase the second bootloader. But I have no idea which flashable zip you are talking about.

In conclusion, a possible solution to the bootmode issue is to update through the device itself and not flashing a zip of it? And if the device messes up again with booting into TWRP recovery only, I can try to fix it with wiping internal storage and flashing the rom and gapp again like before? Also, if I am brave enough and got nothing to do, another possible way to solve my problem is flashing back to amazon os?

Other than that, the safest option is to do nothing, leave it alone as it is, and enjoy having android on a kindle fire?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Yea but I don't see a flashable zip lying around and if you use kffa you risk not being able to force booting into the os.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
