I'm having same issue i flashed 2.05 bootloader still same issue how did u fix it?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] covergeek:
First experience

Just a couple notes

1) First time I did the flash I forgot to do a wipe data as instructed and experienced very slow response times. Went back and reflashed and wiped data.

2) Since data was wiped I had to do the whole google sign-in (FYI - got an error about bluetooth - obviously KF does not have it

3) Re-sign in seemed a bit slower - especially after I connected to wifi - says something about waiting a minute - took much longer

4) Back to the first time I did the flash - downloads from Google Play would stop about 1/3 of the way

Thanks for the Lollipop - nice for a 3 year old tablet to still have life - too bad my itouch couldn't get the same sort of attention

I have CM12 running now so I don't plan any more modification. Is the 2.05 bootloader locked or can it be locked again? I have superSU installed now. Thanks.

Should have a build update in the next day or 2 with minor changes to the device:

- Removed the low-ram build.prop. OS is just too ugly and no fun to use.

- To help with the removal of low-ram build.prop, I've added some new oom adj settings, to better use the zRAM swap. It's a WIP.

- Not sure what to do about "recents" lag. I wish we could build toggle back to the old style recents list for lower-end GPUs. :/

anyone who wants a workaround for lack of volume control I made a very small simple app (runs 1 service only, opens native volume slider then closes). just download it to your sdcard then using a file browser navigate to the apk and install it. then download barlauncher frome the playstore and use that to pin the volume app to your notification drawer.

Kindle Fire first generation has only TWRP 2.7.1 and no O/S

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]s:

You have helped a lot of Kindle fire owners who have very little knowledge on command languages like me. I have the KF with TWRP 2.7.1 and otterx (screen starts with blue Kindle fire logo. Power button has options to continue to boot, recovery mode or advanced utilities). KF does not have any ROMs installed and completely wiped and formatted. ADB command shows the deice # with Recovery at the end. Fastboot command does not show device # but returns the command.

Would like to install hashcode zip file created on 11.30.2014 together with gapps.

The trouble that I got into when installing with error message unable to mount /system.

I know that you are knowledgeable and will get my KF to correct OS 5.0.

Once again thank you for your support.

OK go it. What is the command to flash the file Otterx-u-boot_V2.05 directly to KF from PC?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
first you should try installing in TWRP, it's safer

did you try the mounting options in TWRP? if it's not working likly a divers issue, and you will have same problem with OtterX unless you fix it.

flashing in bootloader

files for installing in TWRP are .zips files for flashing n bootloader are .img or .bin

you will need

otterx-u-boot_v2.05.binMD5: 241a3fd1edad0a0d95886ddeb4693e1c

and otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img md5: ec8e8a67492d5fd06494f854bb59b2ae

verify the md5 checksums for both with a checksum utility

make sure fastboot commands are working try

fastboot devices

is you get something back like

123456789abc Kindle

connection should be good

fastboot flash bootloader otterx-u-boot_v2.05.bin

fastboot flash recovery otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img

fastboot reboot

[Kindle Fire Android Development] VTCruzer:
I need help :\

So it's been a while since I've even touched my Kindle at all. I'm thinking of upgrading to a Lollipop rom. Now I've noticed on all OtterX posts the OP says to adb push the roms and recoveries onto the device. Now I used to have adb working but it doesn't pick up my Kindle anymore (yes I have v 2.0.5 of the bootloader and 2.7.1.0 of the recovery (I also have barely any idea how to use adb)).

Now my question is, is it okay to flash OtterX roms and recoveries if I had just downloaded them with my Kindle and flashed from recovery? Should I even be allowed to do that or have I been running a weirdly installed rom the entire time?

Oh and if you have a fix for that adb problem that would be great as well (I'm using a Mac as the family pc broke :().
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
You only need to use adb push if you just switched to OtterX or don't have a boot able OtterX rom
