Does CWM support ADB sideload?
[Asus Transformer TF701] kuthedude:
I'm not sure. But there is an option to sideload. Never had to use it before though. Like I said, it always gets to about 15% then that error happens.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
CWM does support sideload.

I am guessing you know how it works but just in case.

You need to select the sideload in CWM first, and then from your PC do ADB sideload cm11.zip

Yeah...been trying that.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwinders:
Kindle Fire gen 1, 6.3.3

I was trying the method to do FFF and TWRP without factory cable.

I was able to successfully Root and get into fast boot.

I had not found the method for using Windows at this point so I was trying to use soupkit. (Finally figured out that you have to change permissions on the soupkit.sh to run as executable) In doing this I was trying to install Linux (which I've never used), tried Mint as suggested but was having trouble, moved to Umbuntu and during this time the Fire was in fast boot plugged in via USB so it seemed fine. This was over the course of a few days, on the last day while I was at work my wife or son move the laptop and Fire and the cable was unplugged so the Fire went dead.

Now it appears to be in a boot loop? The Kindle Fire flashes on then the screen turns off and it just repeats this. I left it unplugged for several days going it would discharge and boot but it seems to be stuck in this loop. I'm running Win 7 Home Premium and Linux, neither one can see the Kindle on the USB.

Is this thing a brick now or is there and way to recover? I don't have the factory cable but would gladly order one if it would help get passed this point.

Sorry so long, just trying to provide all info on my situation.

Thanks if you can help.

Discharging battery is a very bad idea

see Frequently Asked Questions - Amazon Kindle Fire

Q30: Is it true that letting the battery die will reset the device and fix whatever problem I'm experiencing?

NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! The flash memory storage of the Kindle Fire is capable of holding data without ANY power until your grandchildren's grandchildren have their own grandchildren...probably even longer. Not to mention, a dead battery will cause much bigger problems than you ever had to begin with, on top of the problems you had to begin with. Whatever problem you're dealing with, it is always best to avoid letting the battery die at all costs​

.

Q31: Why is my boot logo flashing every 5-10 seconds?

You have a near dead battery. The most effective way fix it is to power the device down by holding the power button for 10 seconds, plug the device into a power source, then IMMEDIATELY hold the power button until it shuts off again. If it shuts off and stays off (no display, no led), let it charge for at least half a day. Otherwise keep trying, or get another battery.​

Devices hangs at splash screen

I am having the same problem but my battery was almost fully charged. After I completed Step 5, and then entered the commands for step 6, the device just hangs at the kindle fire splash screen. After an hour or so at that point, I unplugged the device from my PC and when I plug it back in, it isn't listed correctly in the Device Manager. I am running Windows 8.1.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwinders:
I didn't get to try this but was ready to if needed.

As a follow up, I was able to hook up to a higher output charger and left it that way for a good hour and it came back on to what looked like fastboot.

In Windows I opened cmd and was able to push recovery in fastboot & got in to TWRP. I wanted to install CM11 OtterX so I followed the post that Hash has out.

Flashed the updated Bootloader and rebooted per the instructions but now it wouldn't get back into TWRP and couldn't boot into rom and ADB wouldn't connect.

After days of reading I decided to try the EEC Fix in the bootloader, that was successful and it put me in the new Fastboot screen. Once there I was able to connect in ADB and push the files to the SD card and got into TWRP, followed the instructions again from that basic point, converted the format from Amazon and was finally successful in getting the CM11 installed and booted.

Looking through the info I found an OTA from CM and now am running 4.4.4

Very excited to have a real tablet instead of the Fire OS.

Thanks for everyone's help. Reading and persistence pays off.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shamrock13:
I did a reboot, but it is staying at the Kindle Fire boot logo. It is not proceeding past that to anything fastboot related. I ran the fastboot devices command and then I ran the command to push the recovery, but it is just sitting there at waiting for devices.

Also, when the device rebooted to get into fastboot, Windows 7 said it was unable to install the driver for it.

Any help would be awesomely appreciated!

Never mind! I figured it out by installing the driver that came with KFU.

If I want to install a KitKat ROM, what is my next step? I don't want you to explain me everything, but if you could lead me to another post or something, I would be grateful!

Just in case you are still lurking about, here's what I started today:

To install a custom rom

1. Root

2. install FFF/TWRP

3. install Rom/Gapps in TWRP

4. reboot

......Now that you got me a straightened around with step 2, can you elaborate on how to do step 3?

Once I find a ROM on the index page, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

Are those files on the index page zip files that I need to open on my computer then side load onto the Kindle somewhere?

And what the heck is Gapps?

.....ok, ok....enough stupid for one night.

As awesome as you've been, I can't imagine you can handle much more of this....lol

thanks again, and have a great night!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
the and gapps are zip files, but don't open them.

gapps are Google Apps (playstore and support files... )

place them on kindle's sd card(storage)

then reboot, select recovery in bootloader menu

in twrp recovery select install, select Rom then select gapps, swipe to install
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
gapps are installed separately, In most cases, for copyright issues
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totallybeachin:
I am fairly certain you are sleeping or going to work, but I am at a loss AGAIN!

I am following your instructions in this video

and I am stuck at the first instruction.

I downloaded the otterx-u-boot_v2.05.zip from this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2671619

(post #2)

I used the XDA Downloads link.

The Zip file is in my adb file I created yesterday. I did not unzip it.

I open my command prompt and get into adb shell with no problem or errors, but as soon as I attempt the first line of code,

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

I get this: (I tried it twice)

Am I putting the boot zip file in the wrong place? I know you said don't open the zip files on my computer, but were you just talking about the gapps files?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
you need both otterx-u-boot_v2.05.zip and zip-otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.zip

they replace the bootloader and recovery that you just installed, but much easier this time, with kindle on (stock rom), connect to pc, copy/paste or drag/drop to kindle's storage folder, then reboot to twrp and install both then reboot

Those commands are backing up the special files needed to connect to Amazon as a Kindle Device, incase they are wiped in the process, no one has reported that this has ever happened with the OtterX twrp/bootloader. These partitions have been lost using an older recovery so this is just a precaution, because if they are lost they can not be recovered. as to why command fails, I don't know, maybe you have usb 3.0 ports? usb 2.0 may work better, try your other pc
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totallybeachin:
which one of these is my storage folder?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
All of those are in your kindle's storage, anywhere in there is fine. Just copy files to what you have open right now.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totallybeachin:
It's actually starting to make sense to me....almost!

I have copy/pasted both otterx-u-boot and otterx recovery twrp to the Kindle, rebooted to recovery, then installed both.

Rebooted to recovery and wherever you are going next on the video, well, I don't have that option....

Just reviewing the video again to make sure I'm still following properly......

also, from post #3 of this thread do I need option A or option B?

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

I just realized, I have already installed the file from post 3, and must not have realized at the time of download there were 2 options.

The file I installed was from option A.......I hope I didn't fudge anything up.....

Seems that I completely missed the important step 2.......should I go ahead an attempt it again even though I have already installed both files ?

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

Ok, so I went ahead with the command prompt commands from post #2.

Going back to your video, around the 4 min. mark, you chose 'mount' option, but whatever you are doing after that, I can not make out in the video.

On my Kindle, when I choose mount, the pop up is saying "select Partition to Mount" and there are 3 options: Data, Cache and System.

Data and Cache have an X in the box.

On the right side of the screen there is a button that says "Mount USB Storage" and then right below that it says

"Storage: Internal Storage (5110 MB)

...I also just noticed, the recovery zip is 2.7.0.0 and on the 'Index' page it says use 2.7.1.0.....do I need to redo something?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
You do steps 1 and 2 at the same time if you have a working TWRP

otterx-u-boot_v2.05.zip is the bootloader and zip-otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.zip isthe recovery you don't flash in bootloader unless twrp fails.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
zip-otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.zip is prefered, 2.7.0.0 is ok
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totallybeachin:
I have no idea what any of that means?....lol

Since I have boot and recovery, I'm good to go now?

Also, where can I download gapps? I went here and downloaded the first file listed and have it in my adb file under c:

there is a link on the left side of the page that says GAPPS Full and GAPPS Mini, but nothing shows up when I click either of those and I didn't see a place for GAPPS on the Index page

Just in case I am not clear.

I moved both of those files to the Kindle as you suggested. I just copied them from the adb file I have (both of them) and pasted them right in the window I showed you via screenshot.

Rebooted and mashed the power button while turning on, chose Recovery and when it finished starting up, I went to Install, found both the files I pasted and installed them. When it was finished, I rebooted.

That's where I am right now. I did go back and do the all the command prompt codes from post 2 and did not receive any errors and it went just like in your video.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
I recommend you download zip-otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.zip, place it in your adb folder

with kindle in TWRP

and open command prompt,

cd\adb

if c:adb is where folder is then

adb push zip-otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.zip /sdcard

then install zip-otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.zip

not sure why that gapps page is blank, I recommend MICRO MODULAR PACKAGE from PA Gapps

I been planning on adding something for GApps in the Index, but I just took that thread over in Oct 2014, and a lot has happened since then.

I also suggest you post the full rom.zip filename and GApps filename, before you try installing them.

I've been playing with this pretty much all afternoon, and it feels a little 'buggy'.......is that normal?

like it takes a long time to install an app, it takes a second to close an app, go back, go to the home screen, open an app, wait for the keyboard.......just slow overall.

..or did I perhaps do something wrong? (for a sense of time I'm talking about, for example, when opening an app, the kindle will go into 'sleep mode' waiting for the app to start....I have that set to 1 min)

after installing otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery and rebooting back into recovery, I did the adb push of the rom and the gapps, installed them exactly as shown in your video.

When rebooting the last time, it appeared 'stuck' on the start up screen so I tried to power it down by holding the power button but instead of turning off, it stopped showing the swirling circle and prompted me to set up.

It stayed on that swirly circle with an S for about 6-8 minutes before I finally tried to power it down.........not sure if that was a good idea or what, it just didn't appear to be doing anything.

At least it's finally finished!....lol :o
