[QUESTION]Where is the SDCard? I'm dumb. - Kindle Fire General

Hey, I just got my kindle rooted, and got theCMW recovery running on it. Now I want to take the final step and flash MIUI on to it. When I plug the kindle in what directory is its SD card so I can copy miui into it? is the root of the SD card just the KINDLE directory? Am I blind?
Thank you
GABENOOB
EDIT: also do I need a new kernel or can I use stock kernel for miui

The sdcard is the dirctory that shows when you plug your device in the computer
(I prefer twrp , is quite simple to install)

heh I just grabbed the first recovery I saw, and since i had 6.2.2 I had to use the new burrito root. Thank you for your help

Problem is TWRP longer supported

either of you know if I need a new kernel to run miui or can I use stock kernel

No longer supported across the broad spectrum of devices or just the Fire?

I'm tempted to try that out since I'm still not getting the 3.1 update here. I hope I don't screw anything up while installing it, though.

Just follow the instructions carefully and you will be fine.
Its not that hard really,
1. Root your device
2. Install Acer Recovery Installer from Market
3. Install the Clockwork image IN THE Acer Recovery Installer
4. Download the wished custom rom and place it in your EXTERNAL SD CARD
5. Enter Acer Recovery Installey either via the App itself which has the option 'enter recovery' or turn off your device and press Power and Volume - together until the recovery appears or the text in the upper left corner.
6. Once in recovery use the volume and power buttons to navigate. First highlight and press Wipe data/factory reset and then do the the same for Wipe Cache Partition.
7. Navigate to Install zip from External SD Card, enter and navigate to the zip file and press enter (power button is enter)
And thats it. Here is a video of clockwork and how to do it

Hi I have a quick question regarding this I am hoping you can help me. Am I able to only restore the system.img, boot.img and recover.img; I don't want/need to restore the app.img (I think that's what is called). Can I do this via CWM?

Do that last, as you want itsmagic to calculate checksums.
Personally, though.. Why replace it? I'd leave CWM on there.

Thanks again! I thought it was mandatory to replace the recovery image; but if it's not then I'd rather leave CWM. You're a good man! Thanks for the help.
My apologies guys, I wrote the whole thing pretty fast.
I actually meant Acer Recovery Installer (thats where you can boot into Recovery), I got confused.
Thanks for adding the info.

When you do a full backup using cwm, does it backup everthing..? Like a complete image of the device in which you restore and everthing is back..? Or is it just a backup of the Operating System. Thanks

Full backup stores everything, including all your settings, installed applications and so on. I just tried it myself earlier because I didn't find the answer elsewhere
Here's a question that I asked back when I was using Virtuous Galaxy and definitely applies with Virtuous Xoom: Is it possible to successfully use the Motorola Xoom recovery found in Rom Manager? I flashed it but have not had the guts to use it within Rom Manager (sticking with Acer Recovery). Thanks and sorry if it is a dumb question. BTW, I love Virtuous Xoom at least as much as Virtuous Picasso and more than Virtuous Galaxy! I upgraded from 1.0.7 to 1.1.0 with only wipes of cache and Dalvik Cache......so far so great!

I've done it a few times and it backs up everything, apps and settings and all. It makes it really easy to revert to a previous setup if you don't like the rom you just installed.

DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR TABLET!
The A500 uses a checksum to validate its ROM. This checksum must be recalculated when you flash and we use the "itsmagic" program to do it. Only the A500 custom version of Clockwork Mod runs that automatically. If you flash with anything else, and itsmagic isn't run, you'll have an expensive tea tray.

[Q]Can we use ClockworkMod Recovery instead of TWRP?

Just was wondering. I'm more used to what clockworkmod has so I figured it would be easier to install that instead. But I wanted to make sure it was supported before I went ahead and installed it. Anyone know?
Yes. ClockworkMod works just fine on the Kindle Fiya. there is no looking back now.

awesome. so i'm ok with installing it straight from rom manager right?
i'm a little paranoid bc a lot of people seem to be posting about bricking their fires.
Unknown. But if you follow the "bricked fire" threads, you'll see that most people find ways to get them back. So I think a lot of folks are at times stuck, but not truly bricked. I think the most common problem, and the one that bit me too - is being stuck in fastboot and therefore having the device not accessible by adb. And they, like me, panic a bit and think they've bricked it. Granted, I'm sure there are ways of truly bricking it, but as long as you're patient, I think KFU and the fastboot command can get you out of most problems.

Agreed. Doomlord's CWM recovery port is awesome. It's touch based and I've tried most every feature and it seems very solid. I installed it in a much easier fashion than most... I just copied it to my SD area and used the dd command to put a copy into the recovery partition. I did this during normal operation of the Kindle.... No fastboot necessary in using that method.

That method is sketch. Fastboot is the proper way to flash a recovery. Any other way you risk trouble. Wear your rubbers and use the fastboot binary.

put recovery.img on the root of ur SD card, than open mobile terminal, than type these commands.
su (enter)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery (enter)
just don't mistype it, all it does is make a copy directly to the /dev folder.
this is how, rom manager actually puts cwm on ur device.

Seriously confused (what to do after rooting)

I just rooted my new kindle that I just got today using the bin4ry method and I have the superuser app. Cool, but I have no clue where to go from here. No idea what a custom rom is or why I would even need one or any of that stuff.
Is there a starter package or some sort for first time kindle users?

What I did for my mom's KFHD was root it, disable the OTA, and install APEX launcher.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/05/01/custom-roms-for-android-explained-and-why-you-want-them/ This explains custom ROMs.
Personally, I didn't install a second recovery or a custom ROM on my mom's KFHD because 1) It's not mine 2) I don't have a factory cable 3) She doesn't live with me so I won't get much troubleshooting time if something goes wrong.
She really hated the carousel feature of the stock kindle.

Bad news.
I used fireflash (checked both boxes before installing the flash), but now my kindle always boots into the twrp menu and it won't let me install zip files. I keep getting a assert failed message. Is this something I can fix on my own, or do I need a special cable to fix it or is it screwed? I can get into fastboot (assuming it's the black screen with the fastboot text in the middle)

I don't know enough to answer your questions with me being new to this also; however, being able to still get to fastboot is good and that you can use KFFA to put an older version 7.2.3 back onto you KFHD and then retry.

CM10.2 Sept 6/7th nightly unable to boot

so apparently when i flashed cm10.2 6/7 nightly build it frreezes my phones and wont boot up... CM team is aware of this bug and is telling people not to flash.
Problem: I only have 1 backup from TWRP from when i initially flashed my phone from touchwiz to CM10.2 and this Backup is on my PC.. and Im unable to transfer any file from my PC to phone, can anyone help, i have no older build of CM on my phone at all, just the bugged nightly.. i am able to get into TWRP recovery..
have you tried mounting in twrp? otherwise, use adb or run and grab an sdcard.
Do what beerdroid suggested. Push a rom on with adb. At least you learned a lesson, always keep a working nandroid on your phone just in case.
Take your pick. This is the easiest way.

Setting it up is a fairly involved process. Google sdk tools and adb. You'll need to install sdk. But not having an external sdcard isn't going to help. Probably the best thing you could do is get a sdcard and reader to connect to your computer and use those rather than adb. But it's up to you

How to install yanogenmod?

Hi all, I have now rooted my phone and also installed the clockwork mod with rom manager. Now all I need is, how to install this cyanogenmod I just downloaded from here http://get.cm/?device=d802&type=
PS. I have international version
Hi,
Hum... Copy the .zip to your internal storage, reboot in recovery, make a backup first, do a wipe/factory reset in recovery then flash.
You also need the Google Apps.
All you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2495859, read carrefully before doing anything.
Yes. Very important to backup first or you could be screwed if so something goes wrong.
Also download GAPPS (Google Apps).
Boot into recovery, and do this in this order.
Backup
Flash from SD > CyanogenMod
Back > Factory Reset
Flash from SD > CyanogenMod
Flash GAPPS
Reboot. Pray. First time is exciting.

Hi,
Can't you read the link I posted... . There is a link for the Gapps and how to flash the rom...
You plug your phone to your PC via USB cable and put the rom+Gapps in the root of your stockage or create a folder named Cyanogen for example, it's like you want then in recovery navigate where you put your rom+Gapps.
But you really need to read before doing something I think, to avoid something that could go wrong...

But read, read and read before flashing something... And make a backup in recovery because it seems you don't feel comfortable with this stuff...
Good luck!

Wait, I still haven't installed cyanogenmod I only got root without unlocking bootloader. So you are sure if I install cyanogenmod then I should say bye bye to guarantee too?

Re,
Even with just root you loose the guaranty:
LG's phones come with some software loaded that detects the presence of root on a phone, and invalidates your warranty.
Rooting the phone, by nature, voids your warranty.

Oh ****, but if I unroot, it is sure they find out I have rooted my phone? 100% sure?

Re,
Yes, because in download mode there is always a red "ROOTED" and for now you can't remove it...
That being said I don't know if the LG's tech supports (or LG's repair center, or... no matter how it is called in case of guaranty) really takes a look at this... but in any case it's here... Even if you return to stock LG firmware... So your warranty is now void :laugh:.
