If you would have followed my tutorial you wouldnt have this problem here is the fix:
• I have noticed that some people have problems getting stuck around 2:32 into the video where twrp is downloading and getting ready to install. If this happens to you and it is constantly “waiting for device” You may need to hit disconnect on your KF and run burrito root on your Kindle again, click “agree”,then click “You Rock”, Then click “root”. Once you do so you must re-open adb shell by opening a command prompt and typing the following:
cd c:\KindleADB this is to get into adb shell
adb devices this is to make sure your kindle is connected properly
adb root this is to get proper permissions
Just to be very clear on what you should type in your cmd prompt:
cd c:\KindleADB
adb devices
adb root
• Once you have done this re-open the run bat in KFU v0.9.1 and select option 5 again and it will install the twrp with proper root permissions.
here is a link to my tutorial for you to check if you have more problems afterwards:

I tried what you said, and have made some progress, the Kindle Fire is rebooting when it comes to say "waiting for device" but then gets stuck at boot, so I have to put it back to normal boot rather than fast boot

Once again all of the answers to your problems and the questions you have are in this tutorial. From what it looks like to me from your screen shot you do not have "root Permissions" if this is in fact the problem then what you are probably trying to do is to start at step five from the Kindle Fire Utility and download to install twrp2.0 If this is what you are trying to do then you must see on the command prompt of KFU that you are downloading and then waiting on device. If this is still your situation then the fix is what I stated above and in my link. If you have gotten passed that problem and still have issues with you either being stuck at the yellow triangle( firefirefire ) or a Kindle Fire boot screen that will not go away then the fix is also in my link... If you do not wish to follow the link and see the videos or read through the trouble shooting guide then I am afraid I have no way of helping you...
If I helped please do not forget to hit the thanks button and post back in my guide thread that it worked okay for you as well so that new members can see that this is one of the easiest guides to follow here is a link to take you to that guide a little quicker good luck....

If you need further help reply in that thread and I will be more than happy to help you there so others can find the fix to the problem that you come across a little easier

I got stuck in several places when I did it, the issues I had where an old version of adb, and drivers, had to uninstall and reinstall the drivers

Kindle fire utility prob [Solved]

hello all, I seem to be having a prob with KFU, im trying to install recovery per video instructions.
***********************************************
* Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.1 *
***********************************************
'findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ADB Status: Online
ADB Rooted: Yes
Boot Status: Unknown
Please make a selection or hit ENTER to exit:
This is happening with 0.9.2 and 0.9.1
I tryed both
I read that someone else is or was having same issue.
findstr.exe is in the system32 folder also

}

a good practice is to put kfu 0.9.2 to c:\ and rename it to "kfu" that it is c:\kfu
to use it with stock 6.2.2 and burritoroot3 you have to patch the run.bat:

Ok I will try that, um I have another question.
Is it ok that I flashed firefirefire on before I put the recovery on it.
Or do I have to remove it before I put the recovery on?
Thks

it is ok but twrp will overwrite fff with a older version cause it has it integrated in the installation - would reinstall fff 1.2 afterwards

ok thankyou all very much, I will look for the newer version when recovery is on.
whats weaid now is when the adb server starts up now it says its an older version and needs to be updated. I guess as long as it works I'm not going to cross that bridge LOL.
God Bless

would use only the tools folder of kfu - there are all commands you ever need and no weird messages ...

I downloaded and patched the run.bat
still getting the samething

findstr.exe is a system command located in c:\windows\system32 !
would search over your c:\ if it is even there
how do you call the run.bat ?
open a (elevated) command prompt, cd to c:\kfu, type "run.bat" and enter
edit: just saw in your first post that it is there - maybe reregister it:
1) Click Start
2) Click Run
3) Type regsvr32 findstr.exe
4) Press Enter
5) Restart your computer
or "c:\windows\system32" is'nt in your "path" variable - type "path" at a command prompt and check
or it is corrupted (ie by maleware) - then you have to reinstall/repair it from system cd

Yes the findstr is in the system32 folder I chked.
I ran run.bat by clicking on it and have also ran it by using cmd prompt

Ok I did the backup, now the twrp is at 2.0, should I update it?
or can I just stay at this version, and also if I do update it. do I just install the update over top of the 2.0?
at some point I plan on putting a different rom like cm6 or cm7 or something else on it.
Oh and can I boot to recovery without it being plugged into pc and do the stuff on it without the pc now?

and you can boot into recovery by pressing the power button repeatently till it gets orange at startup (the yellow triangle)

[Guide] How to create/restore a full backup of your phone to your PC [Root Required]

Note to staff: I'm new to XDA, so I'm sorry if this guide is posted in the wrong place or if it's inadequate. Please PM me if there are problems with it.
Note to users: I am NOT responsible if the restore process damages your phone. You are doing this at your own risk. Be sure to follow the steps carefully.
In this guide, I will share the best method of backing up your phone to your PC.
Recently I flashed a stock firmware on my SM-J730F and debloated it. Somehow I managed to soft-brick the device after a few weeks and I had to re-flash the firmware, and debloat it all over again. I found out a good method of backing up my entire phone so that I don't have to do that again. I will share that method with you guys.
This works with any phone, not just the J7.
Requirements:
1. Any phone
2. PC
3. An USB cable
4. ADB - Download Here
5. Root Access - Guide on how to root SM-J730F here || Other Phones - If your device is rooted, continue. If not, please leave.
6. FlashFire App - Install Here
Instructions:
1. Have your USB cable near you;
2. Download FlashFire from the link above;
3. Enable USB Debugging from Settings -> Developer Options;
4. Download the ADB from the link above, and extract everything inside the archive to C:\ADB (create a new folder);
5. Connect your USB cable from your phone to your PC - if you get an access request on your phone from your PC's fingerprint, accept it;
6. Open a Command Prompt and type: cd C:\ADB
7. Type adb devices in the command prompt to confirm that it detects your phone; you should get something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
8. Now open FlashFire on your phone and grant it root access;
9. Tap on the plus sign and tap on Backup:
10. Select Full - All Partitions:
11. On this screen, DO NOT select the partitions that have "(protected bootloader partition)" or "(protected partition)" under them; they might cause the restore process to be unstable:
(TIP: There are more partitions if you scroll down on the list of partitions. Just be careful not to select the protected one. Everything else, select.)
12. After that tap on the V button at the top right of the window, and now just scroll to the bottom of the page and tap on FLASH:
13. Your phone is going to reboot now. DO NOT intrerrupt this process, and DO NOT disconnect the USB cable.
14. Once your phone has rebooted, a list of files will start to load, and you will see FlashFire at the top of the screen. On the bottom, the last line should be this:
Start: adb backup go -f filename.zip
This means that FlashFire is waiting for your input from the Command Prompt on your PC.
15. If you see that line, then go on your PC, go into the Command Prompt and type the following command to start the backup process:
adb backup go -f backup.zip
16. Press Enter and the backup process will start on your phone. Wait until it is complete. Your phone will reboot when it's done.
And that's it!
You should have a Backup.zip file in your C:/ADB folder. The size of the file depends on how much data you have on your phone.
Congrats; You have created a full backup of your phone.
Below is a tutorial on how to restore the backup that you have just created.
1. Open ADB on your PC and verify if your device is detected, as I've explained above;
2. Open FlashFire, tap on the plus sign and tap on Restore:
3. On the window that opened select Restore from ADB:
4. Select all the partitions (except the protected partitions) (there are more if you scroll down), and then tap on the V sign at the top right:
5. Tap on the FLASH button and wait for your phone to reboot:
6. Once it's rebooted to that screen with two lines, you should see something like this:
7. Now type the following command into the Command Prompt on your PC:
adb push backup.zip /restore
8. Press Enter and wait for the restore process to finish. Your phone will reboot and hopefully everything is how it should have been when you backed up the phone.
And that's it! You're done restoring the backup.
I hope this guide has helped you; if it did hit the "Thanks!" button at the bottom right of this post, more guides about rooting the J7 and unbricking it available now..
And again, this is my first legit post on this site, so I'm sorry if something is wrong. Please leave constructive criticism, and don't be immature if you have a problem. Thanks

I tried backing my phone up and after step #13, nothing happened? Help please? It just rebooted.

[Root Guide] INSTALL ROOT / WITHOUT RECOVERY / ADB-FASTBOOT / MAGISK

Hello, first of all I apologize for my English if you don't understand me somewhere, I'm learning English. Greetings from Peru.
Files and programs you need to download​THIS PROCESS WORKS WITH ALMOST ALL DEVICES, ONLY IF THEY HAVE THE BOOTLOADER CORRECTLY UNLOCKED WITHOUT THE NEED OF A TWRP.
In the computer​1- Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant, will help you in 2 things: In case your device is frozen or in a loop, there you can recover it and right there you can find and download the ROM of your device for free.
As you can see in this image my device is already selected and the ROM is already downloaded (just follow the steps and your device will be fine again)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here you will find the ROM
as you can see, location, folder and files of the ROM (it is necessary that you know where it is since you will need some files later)
2-You need to have ADB/FASTBOOT installed to be able to install the ROOT (remember that this is the safe way, there is no risk of your device freezing or in a loop, but everything is possible).
Link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/
on device​1- First of all, you have to have the bootloader unlocked, here I leave the guide since it is somewhat long to read
Link : https://www.mobilewithdrivers.com/download/unlock-bootloader/lenovo-tab-m10-fhd-plus-tb-x606f
2- After unlocking the bootloader, you have to have Magisk.apk installed on your device
Link : https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
3- After installing Magisk, on the main screen you have to see if Ramdisk is "yes" or "no".
It says "si" because my native language is Spanish.
4- Go back to the computer and in the ROM folder you have to find the file "boot.img" and copy it to your device
5- within Magisk where it says "install", they give it to install and something similar to this will come out:
6- They only give the following next "siguiente " and select the option of Select file "seleccionar y parchar un archivo" (I repeat again ignore if it comes out in Spanish, you in English)
7- from there the explorer will open and they will look for where they copied the "boot.img" and select it.
Once the selector is given to start or let's start "comencemos"
the process has to be something similar to the image that I will post below, you can several certain lines but at the end it has to say "done!" without any error.
8- Now to finish the process on your device, copy the file that appears in your magisk "the patched file". Copy and paste it into the ADB/FASTBOOT folder
we return to the computer​
1- First of all, you have to enable "usb debugging" on your device
Link : https://www.embarcadero.com/starthe...bling_usb_debugging_on_an_android_device.html
2- Now go to your ADB/FASTBOOT folder and in a blank part open "powershell",
Now go to your ADB/FASTBOOT folder and in a blank part open "powershell" .
Holding SHIFT and right clicking open POWERSHELL
now they write "cmd" without quotes so that inside PowerShell you can use it as cmd
3- Here I will explain it in a long but correct way without errors, do not turn off the computer and leave it on since you will write an ADB command to order the device to enter Fastboot mode.
By typing "adb devices" you will find out if the drivers are correctly installed and your computer, cmd and adb/fastboot should recognize it.
now type "adb reboot-bootloader" , this will command your device to reboot into "bootloader" mode
Now this part is important that you pay attention as some people make mistakes.
Once your device has rebooted and you get to the "fastboot mode" screen, you will type the following in powershell :
fastboot devices
If the following appears, it is because your computer detects your device in fastboot mode.
Now comes almost the end of this guide, to install root do the following.
To root your device they usually tell you to type the following "fastboot flash boot boot.img", but sometimes there are errors.
what you will do is the following :
once you have written the following
you are going to drag the "magisk patches" file to the poweshell
and you will have to leave the path where the saved file is (this is a safe way so that you do not get errors)
now you just hit "enter" and it will be installed on your device
Now to finish, restart the device, install "root checker" and you will realize that you have it activated.
attached image of my device "Tab M10 FHD 2nd TB-x606x" with the latest ROM installed, having ROOT, MAGISK and modules installed
THIS PROCESS WORKS WITH ALMOST ALL DEVICES, ONLY IF THEY HAVE THE BOOTLOADER CORRECTLY UNLOCKED WITHOUT THE NEED OF A TWRP.
If the guide helped you, please comment, if it didn't work for you, please comment as I will try to help you solve the problem.
Currently I will not be contributing more to the community since I do not have my own computer, the computer I use will only be there for a few days, after that they will take it away.
when I have a new computer, I will be sharing RecoveryTWRP for some devices modified by me or some other help that I am able to carry out and finish as a project.
I thank XDA for creating this space to help, guide and for everyone to learn in the process.
I send you greetings from Peru.

Nice, thank you very much, sir.
