[Kindle Fire General] june12:
I checked the fastboot cable, seems it also needs Kindle to be powered on.

Does it mean I have no other choice but open the device?
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
I don't know, I suspect it's met the true death.
[Kindle Fire General] june12:
When I connect it with PC, in Device Manager, the "Other Device" flashes with some "OTMxx", and disappears immediately, then shows up, disappear, causes the Device tree flashes.

Does it means it is not real dead, still have some way to unbrick?
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
Take back cover off, disconnect the battery for a few minutes.
[Kindle Fire General] june12:
I am still trying to avoid opening the back, but seems can't avoid it.

I tried the FireKit method, without the shorting, no luck. Blocked at the "Fix Partition table".

After that try, now windows only recognizes it as "Basic Device".

Is it worse? Seems the last try is open the back.

I'm currently experiencing this bug, in using 2.05 OtterX bootloader. Currently I don't have any ROM installed as I've been unable to push anything via adb.

Here's a reply I posted when [MENTION=218654]shadow[/MENTION] suggested a couple fixes to get USB responsive again:

Hmm. First method: "try connect to usb, power off, power back on." - Connected USB, powered off from TWRP Reboot Menu, manually powered on with power button. Bootloader loads up, USB interface went live (connection sound on the PC). Selected Recovery from bootloader, USB instantly disconnected and did not come back in Recovery. Same as before.

Second method: "disconnect from usb, power off, reconnect to usb, power on" - Disconnected USB while in Recovery. Powered off from TWRP Reboot Menu. Reconnected to USB. Kindle immediately begins to boot (without me holding the power button), but it's stuck in a boot loop and I can't select any options from the bootloader. I can recover from this with a manual power off and power back on. Bootloader loads normally, USB device activates. As soon as I select recovery, USB deactivates.

One interesting thing I found (to me anyway) is that if I connect USB when it's powered off, and if I have the other end of the cable disconnected, it turns on and goes into the bootloader normally. It only goes into the boot loop if I plug in the cable while the other end is plugged into the PC. Regardless, I haven't been able to find a combination of powering on and plugging/unplugging yet that allows the USB to stay alive in Recovery.

My Kindle is stuck in a boot loop at the kindle fire screen. Here is some information about my Kindle:

ROM: Cm-12.1 2015-05-28

TWRP: 2.8.5.0.

Bootloader: v2.05.

Partition: OtterX.

I tried launching the recovery from the boot menu, but as soon as the TWRP logo appears the Kindle reboots.

UPDATE:

The error when trying to flash a recovery image using fastboot is writing 'recovery'...FAILED <remote: Write partition>.

I followed your video for installing TWRP in OtteX bootloader. When I use the command fastboot boot <recovery name> and go to Wipe --> Advanced Wipe --> and check all the partitions this is what I get:

Data: f2fs, Present: No, Removable: No, Size: 0mb, Used 0mb, free: 0mb, Backup Size: 0mb

Cache: ext4 and everything else is the same as the data partition.

System: ext4 and everything else is the same as the data partition.

Fastboot booting in TWRP 2.7.1.0 I cannot use ADB. If I fastboot boot into TWRP 2.8.50 the Kindle appears as Amazon OtterX, but is completely empty. Also, if I enter adb devices it appears as <serial> recovery. I tried pushing the zip files for TWRP 2.7.1.0 and 2.8.50 and both transferred and and showed up in TWRP under install. However, when I tried to flash it I get the following message:

E: unable to mount storage, E: unable to mount '/data', Error flashing zip <filename>, Updating partition details..., E: unable to mount '/data', '/cache', '/system' ...done E:unable to mount storage. After turning the kindle off the files no longer appear under install.

Thank you any help is appreciated.
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
I would

reboot to bootloader, select Amazon partitions, select recovery, wipe cache, reboot to bootloader select OtterX partitions, select recovery, wipe cache, reboot, format data, wipe all partitions.
[Kindle Fire General] Chaos_Phantom:
I booted to the bootloader --> advanced --> Partition Mode and selected Amazon. Then I selected boot to recovery and nothing came up. I booted back to the bootloader and the partition mode was back to OtterX. I tried wiping everything by booting the recovery using fastboot , but it failed to wipe anything. I tried with both TWRP 2.8.5.0 and 2.7.10.

Thank you.
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
try flashing 2.04 bootloader with fastboot.exe
[Kindle Fire General] Chaos_Phantom:
In the command prompt I typed fastboot flash bootloader otterx-u-boot_v2.04.bin and I get the same error writing bootloader...failed (remote: write partition).

Thank you.
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
you are powering kindle off, sending command, then powering kindle back on?

if so, may need to use the boot over usb with the pin shorting method see

[ROOT][WIP] root 6.2.1 / install TWRP / unbrick any ROM and

Firekit LiveUSB repair kit 1.1- when you're about to kill Windows
[Kindle Fire General] Chaos_Phantom:
Yes, I plug in the kindle and the charging bootloader screen appears. I enter the command and hit enter and it says waiting for devices then I hold the power button and the sending message appears in the command prompt. I will try the above and let you know how things go.

Thank you!
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
No, connect Kindle to PC, power off Kindle, send commands, Power on kindle
[Kindle Fire General] Chaos_Phantom:
I did the steps above and I got the same result when trying to install TWRP and the 2.04 bootloader. I will try to use the FireKit LiveUSB repair kit.

Thank you.

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]

I tried using the tool to fix the partitions and it did not work. I was thinking of using the EMMC corruption fix, but I'm not sure it would help. I also tried a different computer with Windows 7, but nothing. Do you think I should try to revert to stock and start from scratch? I think is possible with the FireKit. Thank you so much for all your help.
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
the links I posted were for flashing Bootloader/twrp, not fixing partitions

You can try it, may help, may not.

if you flash FFF bootloader while still using OtterX partitions, you will need to fix partitions with [HOW TO] Fix "Failure to mount" sdcard, system, data or cache by soupmagnet
[Kindle Fire General] Chaos_Phantom:
Thank you for all your help. I tried using the FireKit to flash the bootloader and twrp, but it gave me the same error as before. I did not try the EMMC corruption fix since I am not sure if I'll make it worse by using that. I will do more research hopefully I can catch break and I'll post here if I am able to find a fix. Again thank you for all your help.

When I try to push the CyanogenMod zip file into my Kindle Fire device using adb push <filename.zip> /sdcard/ , this is what shows up

* daemon not running. starting it now *

error: device offline

I've encounter error: device not found at first and fixed it using your advice, but there seems to be no advice on how to tackle the error: device offline problem. And yes, my kindle fire device was on and plugged into my computer. It seems I am stuck :(.
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
Which twrp version?
[Kindle Fire General] joonibee:
I'm on TWRP v2.8.2.0
[Kindle Fire General] sd_shadow:
Use MTP with 2.8.X.X twrp versions

And adb push with 2.7.1.0
[Kindle Fire General] kindle1gen:
I broke something. Bootloader v2.05

Greetings!

On Friday I got the bright idea that I should go ahead and root my kindlefire, which I was able to do SUCCESSFULLY following [How To][Root] Kindle Fire 1 update 6.3.3 and Flashing FFF/TWRP [2015] along with [Video] How To Root Kindle Fire 1 with Update 6.3.3 and 6.3.4, using Saferoot.

Seeing as how I was on a roll, I kept at it. This time I went ahead and followed [6.3.4][6.3.3] Flashing FFF and TWRP without Fastboot Cable. Again, everything was a SUCCESS. My Kindle was able to boot, and I saw the bluetint logo. At this point I was feeling great.

Lastly I tried following OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [TWRP 2.8.2 2014-12-09] and the OtterX ROM/TWRP/Bootloader [2014-05-08] video posted on Youtube. This is where I was forced to tap out. This is the part where I ?bricked? my kindle. I tried using twrp2.7.1.0 along with bootloader2.05. My kindle now boots up with the grey logo, I have three options, continue, recovery, advanced. The continue and recovery options both power down the kindle. Advanced menu shows back, charger mode, serial console, serial number, wifi MAC, partition mode AMAZON, trigger USBboot mode and EMMC corruption fix. The kindle then powers off. On screen, the left top corner says its 99%, the top right corner says v2.05.

Troubleshooting

When plugged into my pc (win8.1 box) the device registers as Android ADB Interface but disappears as the device powers down. I toggle through the menus on the kindle to keep the device active for as long as possible in an attempt to fix my problem. [How To] Fix Otter X Install Errors, Partition sizes, Unable to Mount System... nothing on this thread seems to help. The ADV device is not detected. I did an ubuntu live boot and ran soupkit hoping I could fix this issue. I failed. The ADB device is never detected.

Tools

I've got a Windows 8.1 box, a MBP running Yosemite, and a Vista Lappy(don't mind dual booting linux if I have to, would prefer liveboot if possible.)

Goal

At this point, I want to complete the mission and get android working on this badboy. I fear that I'm at a point where I will not be able to get my kindle working again.

reflash otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img following Post #3's video
[Kindle Fire General] kindle1gen:
[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]

You sir are the man!

Sorta worked. My Kindle is in fastboot mode, just like in the video with two exceptions.

1)

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

returns

error: cannot open 'otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img'

2) Kindle is now on the fastboot mode screen.

I'll go ahead and verify that the md5 is correct.

Thank you.

*UPDATE*

I left the kindle alone for about 3 hours. I pressed the power button (slight deviation from Flashing TWRP in OtterX) thus powering the kindle. I selected the Advanced option and quickly navigated to the the adb folder via Command Prompt and issued

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

. To my surprise, my Kindle entered into fastboot mode but this time it accepted the file transfer.

Performed the

fastboot reboot

and a quick power button press TWRP was finally loaded. Awesome!

I'm not entirely sure why the Kindle was unresponsive in regards to running the flash recovery in the first place, perhaps leaving it alone for a few hours cleared out the electronic gremlins. All I know is that I'm better off right now. Let see if I can get a ROM working on it next. Anyway, Thank you [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]!

version of GAPPs?

followed your posts and videos and got OtterX and CM11 working with no issues on my KF1, thanks you were a big help to understanding and removing fear from reading the original posts from hashcode.

question on GAPPs, does it matter which version/size? I loaded the gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed.zip which were the next version from what I saw you do in the video. Most things work with no problems but I do get an NullPointerException when I search in the play store, and Hulu does not work (but most others do.) I was wondering if it was due to the "mini" edition or version as this is 5.0 where my S3 running 4.4.2 has Play version 6.0.5

can I install a newer version of GAPPs?

can I install a bigger version like stock?

thanks again!!

My old Droid X2 used to have spell check (red line under misspelled word, NOT referring to autocorrect) where you could tap it and it would give a list of correct spellings. Well I also had some devs make a flashable zip to add it to a rom on my S3 but now I have a note 2 and I would love to see it again. I don't know how to do this stuff but here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27658227&postcount=17 is a link where it shows what needs to be done.

This ROM seems to be working okay, in spite of two major problems, which I've encountered so far.

1. The 'Google Search' always crashes when opened and displays the message "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped.".

2. Whenver I try to tether my Wi-Fi connection through USB to my computer, the "USB Tethering" option seems to crash. It connects and then disconnects rapidly.

Anybody know a work around for this

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JippleStar:
I've noticed that my phone stays on a little longer at the lock-screen with the occasional icon at the top popping up (it looks like some sort of eye? There's a setting called "Smart stay" in the Display settings, so I assume this is what I am experiencing?

edit:

Guess that doesn't really help much, but it does extend it for quite a while if you can keep eye contact with whatever is tracking your eye motions? XD
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbman1953:
Thanks but I don't like smart stay. I used the app called " Screebl", it's way better plus it works on staying on based on the angles your phone is at. I like to read news and sports so I want the screen to stay on until I'm done. Screebl allows you to adjust to the lowest time out setting, but it seems the lock screen shorter than 15 sec. The lock screen time out doesn't seem to be tied to the system timeout
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JippleStar:
That's pretty neat! Now that you mention it though, I too was unable to keep my screen on longer than around that same time o3o can't imagine why I would need the lockscreen to stay on, but I hope you find a solution d:

Hi

I am getting my daughter a samsung galaxy tab 3 tablet and I was wondering are there any apps available that can reduce the number of apps available at night.

The reason is I would be happy if she had the tablet in her room at night if I can be sure she is not watching youtube, playing games etc.

She will want to listen to music at night and I am happy with that, but I would like to have something that I could disable all apps and only leave music available.

If no such app exists are there any other apps which would keep a history of what apps were used and when they were used?

Thanks

1500 mah is the same as 1.5 Amp. That's referring to the power of the charger you connect it to. If you connect that charging puck to a 1 amp (1000 ma) charger, or less, it will do what you describe.

Also try different USB cables. I've found some cables just don't transfer enough power, and cause the same problem.

So is the trick here just to use the charging cable and AC adapter that came with the G3?

The Powerbot charging station I got works fine under any condition with my Nexus 7, but I get the above described error with my G3. I tried different cable and AC adapter combinations to no avail (not sure if I tried my LG cable with adapter on this one). Plugged into my work computer with one of the USB cables that came with it, it worked fine. For one day. The next day, it kept giving me problems again so not sure if it’s just the phone, some annoyingly precise placement, or just the charger itself (again, no problems with the Nexus 7).

I just received the ChoeTech wireless 3-coil wireless charger today. With the included cable plugged into my work computer, it was giving me problems. With the short cable that came with the Powerbot, my phone is now charging.
