[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tukky52xda:
Hello My Friend:

As you know I am little behind the curve in understanding your instructions quickly but I am really learning fast and the curve is going up because of your efforts. I thank you for that. I don’t want to do make any mistake, so I am going to lay out what I am going to do step by step.

Ok, my main directory path is F:\xxxx\XXXX\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools where I can find most of the goodies. It ( platform Tools) contains Dir ( Folder) KF which contains another folder called 2nd boot loader (F:\xxxx\XXXX\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\KF\2nd Boot Loader) that has CM ROM zip ( cm-12.1-20160119-NIGHTLY-jem.zip), this folder also has cm-12.1-20160119-NIGHTLY-jem-recovery.img, GAPPS-5.1-2015-05-23-24-.zip, kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin, kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img, kfhd8-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img

I opened the zip in the same directory, that gave me cm-12.120160119-NIGHLY-jem Folder. Clicking on that folder gives me the boot.img. I copied that to Desktop.

Now, in your instructions , you say that after kindle off, enter fastboot -i0x1949 getvar product and continue as before until you are in the bootloader ( how to know if you are in a bootloader). Does that mean that I have to do STEP 5 from Hashcode insructions again before flashing CM-ROM?

I know I am taking too much of your time but it is certainly not wasted.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
Yep, you'd do those instructions before flashing CM. However, instead of flashing the freedom-boot image to the boot partition like Hashcode's instructions say, you would flash the boot image on the desktop to the boot partition (so you'd type fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot F:\Users\yourusernamehere\Desktop\boot.IMG instead of the freedom-boot line in the directions). If you're in the bootloader, then fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product returns "jem-pvt-prod-04" or something like it. :)

Is it something to do with device storage since we have flashed somany thigs so many times?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
I'm not too certain if that would be the case, although it couldn't be completely ruled out. How long have you had the kindle?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tukky52xda:
Flashing back to stock.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
I suggest moving the system.img file to the same location where you put the boot and recovery img files, and then type fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img. Also type fastboot -i 0x1949 erase cache and fastboot -i 0x1949 erase userdata, as a faulty partition may be stopping the device from booting properly. Finally, type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot to reboot. If the kindle still doesn't boot after this, I can make boot and system .imgs for a recent CM12.1 nightly that you could try to reflash to your device.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tukky52xda:
Thanks My friend!

I will follow your advice and get back to you with the result. You have been such great help. May God bless you!

BTW, What system.img file we are talking about. Where can I find it? Please bear with me. . i want to be sure what files I am flashing.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
For right now, we're talking about the system.img file in the KFHD SRT folder. Within the folder where you extracted the .zip file, the system.img would be in the images/ subfolder. Caution is acceptable in this case - if you're not careful, you could end up rendering the kindle into a very expensive paperweight. Again, happy to help, and God bless! :)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tukky52xda:
My dear monster in an angelistic way!

You know what? we did it. We brought this device into life again. I flashed the system.image along with clearing the data usage and after a minute it was up and running. .It was almost like a factory reset. I have all the storage. l lost some apps but who cares. it is lean and fast. Thank you my young friend. I will wait for you to be 18 so that I can contribute some donation . What are your projects these days? I would like to visit them to learn. You are a smart young fella. It is a gift from God. So dont waste it and help others like you help me. I would like to do the same in my own litle way.

BTW, whatis the best way to root this device and and use it in the best way. Which ROM is better suited for it.?

Thank you again.

God Bless you!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
No problem, happy to hear that it's working again! :)

As of right now, I'm mostly helping with a collaborative effort to port CM13/Android 6.0 to the kindles. I haven't contributed a single line of code to the project yet, but I made a boot logo that replaces the blue Kindle Fire logo you'd normally see when booting. As for the ROMs, we have a functional (but not yet fully stable) port of Resurrection Remix. If you want to check the project out, there's a thread on XDA. Otherwise, CM12.1 builds are stable enough for daily usage.

The method you use to root depends on what version of the stock OS you're using. It sounds like you have 8.4.3 installed (because that's the version you restored to with the KFHD SRT tool), so it sounds like you're already rooted. However, to confirm this, you should download a root checker app from the Amazon Appstore, such as this one. Check for the SuperSU or Superuser apps in your home screen/launcher, as it will be needed for the root verification process.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tukky52xda:
My KFHD 8.9 is version 8.5.1. It was rooted but I lost it after its ressurection. I guess I will have to root it first. Then see whatwe can do . Thanks again.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
Here's a root method for 8.5.1 that might work.

[MENTION=5830410]monster1612[/MENTION]

Hey Monster. I have a similar issue with my Kindle Fire HD 7. Here's my scenario.

1. The Kindle boots to the "Teamwin" logo and the logo just keeps blinking - I cannot access TWRP

2. I believe I have installed all of the appropriate drivers - The Amazon dev drivers, the ADB and Fastboot drivers/software

3. When I type "adb devices" the response is:

* daemon started successfully *

D025X0X0303403JX recovery

4. No Fastboot commands work, I plugin the Kindle after "< waiting for device >", but nothing happens. Because of this I cannot flash a TWRP recovery image. Sometimes, if I use the command "adb reboot recovery" the Kindle screen will display a Fastboot screen after rebooting

5. The device only shows under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" in Device Manager - There are no other entries.

6. I have reflashed a rom and gapps using adb, but the TWRP boot loop persists.

What are my options? The forums seem to indicate that I have to purchase a factory cable. Is there a way to flash an img file using ADB?

Thank you!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
There is, but it's a lot more dangerous. It's preferred and recommended that you flash via fastboot. You should definitely get a fastboot cable - it will save you a lot of headaches in the long run. Try reinstalling the drivers after disabling driver signature enforcement if you're running Windows 8 or above. Here's a tutorial to do just that. (Of course, you could also switch to Linux, but that's optional. ;))
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] congruent:
Thanks for the reply! I just tried Fastboot using Manjaro linux (after installing android-tools with Pacman). I get the same message 'waiting for device.' The command I used was "sudo fastboot flash boot twrp.img (I renamed the img)." Of course I also tried "fastboot device."

Any other options you can think of? I'm wondering why I was able to get to a Fastboot screen on the Kindle before. I forget the commands I was using. It might not mean anything - just that the Kindle was able to get into Fastboot mode, but still has no ability to communicate.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
I see your problem. If you're trying to flash TWRP to the boot partition, it won't work. You flash TWRP to recovery (replace boot with recovery in that command you typed), and then flash the freedom-boot image to the boot partition. The freedom-boot image isn't and should not be used in normal circumstances, but we're using it temporarily so you can get into TWRP to flash a ROM.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] congruent:
Fastboot does not seem to be working though. whenever I attempt to flash an img file using Fastboot, it just says "waiting for device."
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monster1612:
Is the kindle in fastboot mode? Completely turn it off by holding the power button down for 10 seconds, then type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product. Plug in the kindle when you see <waiting for device>, and you should get a string beginning with "Jem-PVT" and a kindle in fastboot mode. :)
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] congruent:
So now the Kindle is in Fastboot mode and the device now shows as "Tate PVT 08." When I run Fastboot commands it still says "waiting for device." Arghhhh.

As far as the freedom boot image is concerned - would that be necessary with this type of brick? I have rooted and installed many roms. Would I have to follow this step again?:

https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_tate

I'm a bit confused now. When I rooted I did not need a Fastboot cable. I'm assuming this was because I could boot into the OS. Some instructions (link above) seem to imply the cable is needed - is the cable always needed when you have to flash img files via Fastboot? Is it not needed after the custom recovery is already installed (even if not functioning correctly)?

Thank you!

I tried doing the same thing but it is stuck on the fastboot mode screen with no options and my it is not showing up on my pc.. i tried the kfhd srt and it still says waiting on device any fix?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] pmacevad:
I was hoping someone could help me with some info or point me to a guide/info pertaining to reversing/hiding s-off and restoring the device to factory preset/stock. I need to send the phone back to HTC because they sent a replacement as part of HTC advantage program (cracked screen). Will Sunshine reverse the s-on process or should I try to just hide it with one of the hacked bootloaders? If I use this method I should probably do it after a RUU correct? Anyways, I guess I could use some guidance regarding this. Any and all help/advice is appreciated.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ssantos132:
Sunshine will not reverse the process. Getting s-on can be risky, because if your phone isn't 100% stock, your phone will get bricked. So to get s-on again, you have to flash stock everything (rom, recovery, hboot, etc), then lock your bootloader (make it say "Locked", not "Re-Locked")Only after doing this can you safely revert your phone to s-on.

Doing a quick google search leads to many posts asking how to get s-on, like this one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57210034&postcount=41 Good luck with your phone! :good:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Magnum_Enforcer:
This is an excellent guide on how to unroot and go back to S-on.

Now that we have root, has anyone seen any good hi res startup animations yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
you can typically use most boot anis that already exist.. nothing different as the s6/s6 edge still uses the .qmg format for the boot up.....

and general question should ve in the q & a section.. dont feel bad vecause theres others who didnt read the rules lol this thread to my knowledge is if you are posting/linking to actual themes and apps not for questions and requests..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
It looks like Nobody on the G920T has tried Flashfire yet and gave a report (that I could find) so I decided to.

I just rooted via pingpong so I kept knox warranty intact. Then I decided to take the leap of faith and test out flashfire here are my results:

EFS backup and restore: Success

full system backup: Success

Flash a rom (Looper): Success

Full Restore (Except modem Firmware): Failed but it kind of worked. I needed to do a factory reset, but was back on the stock non looper rom after the reset.

Make sure you delete the boot.img from the zip and delete the line from the installer script. If you do not do that you will trip knox, on the same note you cannot flash any custom kernel atm without tripping knox.

http://xdaforums.com/general/paid-software/flashfire-t3075433
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
looper rom flashes a kernel. this will trip knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
take the kernel out of the zip. problem solved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
Yeah I thought about doing that, oh well. I realized before I tested flash fire I didn't really care about Samsung pay and if I do want to I can swap phones with my wife.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I'm not sure I get all the hype with pay...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
Personally, I wanted to try the loop pay function. I probably would have used it a couple of times and just stop after that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
I decided against using any NFC payments on the S6 when i experimented and was able to turn on the nfc externally with a magnetic field. Left a bad tastes in my mouth. You can even watch the software switch toggle from off to on if you get the device close to a magnetic field.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
That is not cool, but if Samsung pay is anything like Apple pay it will require a fingerprint before it works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
I pondered the potability of some one enabling your nfc and getting it to take your device to a malicious page with malicious scripts or something. so wither way i'm not to impressed the hardware can be turned on remotely via magnetic field.

BTW love FlashFire. Bought the pro to help along the dev
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
It was very nice other than the recover from a backup issue I had. I will probably buy the pro as well even though I am going to stick to twrp for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] -Mr. X-:
I just recovered from a backup and all is well. so it might have been an isolated issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] dctechie:
Is this just deleting boot.img from the zip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
remove it from the installerscript as well for good messure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Just flashed looper after removing boot and modding script, works and knox still 0x0..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
hey, i kno i have the vzw s6 edge but do you mind sending me a pm with just the updater script? i assume by modding it, you simply deleted the line of code to flash the boot.img?

hopefully i can get my rom up (i just have error in updater script) using flashfire.

I got it from [MENTION=2918779]mikeyinid[/MENTION] over here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3087930

Yes all I did was delete the flash boot.img line.

It looks like he used a script to make the updater script. I can upload it in the morning I'd you still need it, past bed time already lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
that would be great lol. i work about 10 hours today (barely getting ready) so i wont be able to play until after that haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] nolimit78:
Wouldn't you be able to remove the boot.img from the ZIP? Or would the flash fail because it wasn't able to find the correct file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
Honestly why wouldn't you remove both? I'm sure it would fail but if this script is anything like the majority, the boot.Img line is the last thing to install so as long as it doesn't delete the old boot.img it should still work. why not take the extra 20 seconds and deleted the line?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] nolimit78:
Only asking to help make it easier for others. Of course I just deleted the extra line. DANG! :p

hi everyone

i Have this issue with my gear live. Now have done alot of modification on android devices however i am stumped on what to do or how to fix the issue

current state of device from last use: i had flashed a new rom and it worked fine root was enabled and so was adb . then i attempted to flash TWRP

issuue: device shows battery indicator and charges fine, device wont boot past samsung gear live splash screen, gets very hot and dies.

os: windows 10 DP pro

what caused the issue : I was flashing the TWRP recovery onto the device however as i was in the ADB suite i had accidently typed the command used to flash the system with the recovery.img instead of using the recover flashing command line. it was a very careless mistake.

now i am unable to even find the device in ADB using fastboot nor ADB its self. also odin dosnt reckonise the device either.

am i officially bricked?

how can i fix the issue and get my gear live on again

thanks for anyone who helps me and also i am sorry if this exact issue is already been adressed and resolved however i cannot find this issue and other fix bricked gear live posts didnt work none.

any questions i will be happy to answer also this is my first post i hope its not too messy (sorry in advance if it is)

thanks
[Samsung Gear Live] Brendo:
Did you try the gear live restore tool?
[Samsung Gear Live] khyle_atkinsonn:
yes i did try that but i dosnt work as it build on the ADB suite

thanks for your help
[Samsung Gear Live] fllipperr:
It's not bricked, you have to get the watch in bootloader mode and flash a proper system.img and boot.img and if it still in a bootloop flash twrp and erase all data except for system.
[Samsung Gear Live] khyle_atkinsonn:
hi there really sorry for the late reply I cannot get it into bootloader mode with any tools avalable as that requires adb to find the device am I right or or there a button comb to gain bootloader ? also thanks for your reply
[Samsung Gear Live] fllipperr:
With the watch powered off, hold the power button until the samsung logo comes up and while still holding the power button swipe twice from the upper right to the lower left. A text should appear indicating its booting into bootloader mode then its fine to release the power button.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] h3ck:
Excuse my ignorance, but I have the full ability to tether from my device natively without any modification. Are we talking unlimited tether? Because the Verizon Hotspot app allows for tethering with no issue. Am I missing something? Is that not on every s6 edge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Chemdawg:
Here's what I got going on. I have an app radio 3 in my car by pioneer. To be able to use the touch screen and to mirror my phone to the app radio, I need to use a Google Chromecast, and the app radio unchained reloaded app. With this in mind, when I use the native tether that comes with the phone, it disables wifi. Now my chrome cast is connected to the net like it's supposed to, but it doesn't see my phone cause the phone isn't on the same network. Make sense? Using the Wifi Tether Router App, it keeps wifi enabled so my phone is acting like a hotspot which the chrome cast connects to, AND allows my phone to also see the chrome cast. Hope that isn't too confusing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chizzy58:
sounds like you need foxfi paid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
wifi tether means you share your phones data connection with another device.. what you mean (correct me if im wrong) is to share your phones data connection AND have wifi on to connect it to your pioneer? have you tried the way you used it on other devices? howd you set it up before?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Chemdawg:
I figured it out. The stock tether that is native to the s6 galaxy edge works fine. I was going about this all wrong with the chromecast app. I don't need any of the fancy apps like foxfi or wifi tether router, etc.... So all is now good. I was an idiot to not figure it out sooner. Thanks.
