[Q] boot logo brick (?) [SOLVED]

i'm VERY new to all of this, and i promise i tried my hardest to find an answer in existing threads and google, but haven't found anything to help with my prob:
I tried (?) to root kindle fire [android police thingy], not sure if I succeeded or not (had a lot of "device not found" at the beginning) and tried to install RTL languages support at the same time.
I haven't installed any "TWRP" or "firefirefire" or anything like it.
after the reboot at the end of the RTL, the kindle got stuck on "kindle fire". I tried 20 second power button for several times, on and off power.
kindle fire utlity ("run") says:
adb status: online
adb rooted: no
boot status: 4000
when trying to root through this (temp root), i get: adbd cannot run as root in production builds.
I get the same phrase trying to do anything on the utiility.
Can I do anything to save this from being a 200$ coaster?
THANKS!

you can try to install fff and twrp with kfu (option 5)
then copy one of the prerooted stock images to sdcard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402440
would recommend the secure one
and install with twrp:

(delete spaces)
i get about the same thing for every option i choose.
any other option?
(and THANK YOU for answering so quickly)

open an (elevated) command prompt in the tools directory of kfu and type in:
adb shell
copy and paste what you get back

$ sign.. (waiting does nothing, "enter" produces yet another $ sign :X )

that is very good - you did not mess up your shell !!!
ok - what version of kfu do you have ?
would recommend the newest one - 0.9.2 - extract it to c:\ and rename the folder to "kfu" so that it looks c:\kfu
then give it a retry with option 3 and then 5
please copy and paste the output that i can see what it is doing

(again, delete space)
on the first attempt with no. 5, it started downloading something but my internet went bad and the dl stayed on 52%. I manually downloaded the file and named it "recovery" (in the correct folder). after that, i got the message in "brick 3"
and another thing - even though i keep getting "adb rooted: no", after each time i "root", the device reboots, but it doesn't reboot after the "installation" of the twrp.

that with the recovery was right - it has to be recovery\recovery.img
the file should be ~10mb - maybe we have to do it manually
the problem is that burritoroot is allready installed and kfu can't gain root
you did not install burritoroot with kfu ? (kfu has a special version)
therefor we get the message "... can not run on production builds"
now we can look where the file is located and install with kfu or
install fff and twrp manually
i think in this case it will be easier to install manually:
first fff 1.2 manuell:
•download from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=850008&d=1326179460
•extract to the folder where adb.exe & fastboot.exe is located
•"adb shell idme bootmode 4002" & "adb reboot"
•flash with "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash bootloader u-boot.bin"
second twrp manuell:
•copy recovery.img which you downloaded and renamed to the folder where adb.exe & fastboot.exe is located
•install with "fastboot -i 0x1949 boot recovery.img"
now we reboot into recovery:
•"fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 5001"
•"fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot"
now we should have the recovery system installed ...

those steps went fine.
but now we're back to "error: device not found"
reinstalled the drivers, shut down, restarted and reinstalling again to see if it helps. (maybe it's just me, but it feels like anything that can go bad, does. )

until recently, "adb android device" or something like that..
now it says the driver does not suit 64bit... (currently: unknown USB device)

it should say "android adb interface"
update the driver with the one from c:\kfu\drivers - they can 64bit
if it does'nt work you can run install_drivers.bat from c:\kfu - maybe 2 times
for information in device manager:
normal boot (4000) -> android composite adb interface
fastboot (4002) -> android adb interface

for normal boot - have you ever been/worked in/with fastboot mode ?
we have to get the right drivers for every mode working
i just switched my kf to fastboot and return to normal boot to verify
try to update the driver manually (select manually)
alternately you can delete every driver with kindle or adb and then unplug and replug the kf
that' only a loose description that you see how it is done:
if you' asked
-choose browse my computer for driver software
-Then select have disk
-Then select browse
-direct to where you downloaded the usb driver
-Select okay and okay
just in case you'r not asked:
-Go to device manager
-right click on the exclamation mark kindle
-Choose update driver software
-choose browse my computer for driver software
-choose let me pick from a list of devices on my computer
-Then select have disk
-Then select browse
-direct to where you downloaded the usb driver
-Select okay and okay

will be updated (drivers installed.) the name's without "composite"

if you have a 32 bit pc - that's the better choice
what os is it ? xp 7 or ?
on the 32 bit you can try an alternate set
download it from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20855280&postcount=54
and run the included batch and then install the driver

[Q] Mac OSX - ADB - List of devices attached Blank

I am running on a Mac (OSX Lion) and have installed android-sdk-macosx.
I am trying to connect to a Kindle Fire 6.2.2
However, this is as far as I can get:
Code:
bash-3.2# ./adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
bash-3.2#
As you can see, no devices show up.
I have tried switching cables, USB ports, reboot the device and my machine... banging my head against the wall.
Nothing works.
I have read about 29 pages of posts through this forum, and Googled it.
No dice.
Any suggestions?

would not use the sdk at all - if you use the mac/linux version of kfu you save a lot of time and space - you don't need to use kfu if you don't like to - but all commands you'll ever need are in the tools folder of kfu - it also includes drivers and setup scripts - maybe give it a try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21369040&postcount=653

mkdir ~/.android
echo 0x1949 >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
ADB needs this entry to see the Kindle Fire no matter what OS you're on.

right - there is also a installation script for this included in the pack - install.sh if i remember right

took the advice above and it's still not working for me. i have the same exact problem. when i try to run install_drivers.sh i get:
cp: drivers/adb_usb.ini: No such file or directory
Done!
logout
[Process completed]
When I run KFU i get:
/Users/donaldclark/kfu/run.sh: line 84: seq: command not found
please help

as far as i know (don't own a mac) you have to call the commands with
./ from terminal window - eg ./run.sh

I also got the same error message at line 84 running the install script in OSX 10.6.8
-E

it's from eratosthene - give him a pm - i'm shure he can help you

Try remove the usb driver from your device and re-install gain.

I use Kindle_Fire_Utility_MacLinux_0.9.2 3 with adb.mac
and its located right inside my root directory (not under users) step before.
I went to the files and I opened file called
install_drivers.sh
I did deleted everything behind -p and just dragged
the adb_usb.ini (its located in drivers) into that install_drivers.sh script and I hit save.
thats how it looks like
mkdir -p /Kindle_Fire_Utility_MacLinux_0.9.2 3/drivers/adb_usb.ini/adb_usb.ini
Than I just run adb.mac and all is operational
my kindle was rooted with burittoroot2
If you need those files send me a pm I have them in my dropbox.

Regarding the "run.sh: line 84: seq: command not found", I found out that the "seq" command is not recognized with MAC OS... so I did a search and replace, replacing "seq" with "jot -". Now it works.
Reference: Search google for seq and mac

What worked for me.
I had the same problem after updated the sdk on my MacBook Mac OSX 10.6.8
cd to the tools directory (where android program is located)
run:
./android update usb
./android update adb
then edit the ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file and add 0x1949 as the last line (your previous adb_usb.ini file is overwritten by the above commands).

[solved]Kindle Fire TWRP issues

So I am trying to Install TWRP on my kindle in hopes of Cyanogenmod. But I am encountering a problem I cant find anyone with the same issue.
I am running 6.2.2
So I launch the Kindle Fire Utility with admin priviliages and I get a message about tools\wget not existing. but I see it. And the utility spits out a bunch of "cannot find path specified" shenanigans when I try and do anything with it.
Without admin it just says it cannot see the device.
Help?

it would be helpful to know which os ? windows? mac? linux ?
generally it is a good method to put kfu to c:\ and rename it to "kfu"
then open (elevated) command prompt, cd to c:\kfu and type run.bat
if you'r on windows you should patch it to work with br3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21749205&postcount=792

Oh I am sorry, I wasnt under the impression that the KFU was compatible with Mac and Linux so I just neglected to mention. Super sorry!
I will try your suggestions, thank you very much

Okay, the moving it to C: and running command prompt manually results in the same Device Not Found stuff as launching run.bat without admin.
Typing in C:\kfu\run.bat gives me the tools\wget missing error.

Okay, I fixed it.
My solution was to manually uninstall the driver bundled with the utility, not install it at all, and run the bat without admin privileges.
Not sure what happened, but I got it. Thanks for your help

interesting never saw tools\wget missing error ...
anyway - you got it !

[Solved] 6.2.2 Bricked Please Help

Ok, so I did something stupid, I tried to install a slider lock theme on my kindle and probably screwed up the Framework-Res. I did not have TWRP or a backup of any kind.
Now the kindle just sits at the boot splash screen.
The device was running on 6.2.2 and most tutorials seem to be made for 6.2.1
I have tried a few manual commands but remount is just say "Operation Not Permitted" (I cant figure out how to fix this either.
Running automated programs like Unbrick Utility just don't work, it says it has completed but you can see a bunch of errors saying it could not copy or not permitted etc...
At this point I just want my kindle fire back even if that means a complete restore, can someone please try to help or point me in the right direction I am about to go insane.
Added Info: To be more exact, I tried to use metamorph to install a slider lock theme, nothing seemed to happen so I closed the app. I thought everything was fine so I put the kindle to sleep, but I could not wake it up. I tried restarting it and that's how I got to were I am now.
Update:
Thanks to b63 I was able to get this fixed, I cant thank him enough.
Ok here is how I got it fixed
First I followed the directions given to me below by b63
he told me to refer to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8&postcount=29 which I did, however When I got to 8 I did something different, I did not need to re install the whole Rom because I had only messed up the Framework-res.apk
So instead I pulled the Framework-res.apk from /system/framework in the official kindle 6.2.2 update.zip
I then used these commands to replace the broken apk on the device and restart in normal boot mode.
4. "adb remount"
5. "adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk"
6. "adb shell chown root /system/framework/framework-res.apk"
7. "adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk"
8. "adb shell idme bootmode 4000"
9. "adb reboot"
I know that this explanation is not super descriptive but most of what you need can be found below in the thread.
This problem is rather specific to my situation so if you are having the same problem and you can't figure it out send me a PM or reply to this thread.

Anyone? I'm starting to think i should just try to return it.

would need some more concrete information:
is it rooted only ?
what is the boot splash screen "kindle fire" (static or animated) or yellow triangle ?
do you have kfu available ?
moved and renamed so that it is at c:\kfu ?
patched the run.bat of kfu ?
what are the 3 status lines of kfu when you just start it ? - please don't do any option at the moment
os/bit of computer ?
driver status in device manager ?

Thank you for the response, I'm not at my normal Computer now, but I will answer what I can from here.
Yes I believe it is rooted only, no roms or anything installed.
The Splash screen is Kindle Fire, It is static (no shine animation). I also never installed TWRP or firefirefire so I don't think it should be yellow. (I tried though)
I do have KFU available, but I'm getting operation not permitted errors
No I did not move/rename it (maybe that's the not permitted issue?)
Three Lines: ADB Status: Online ADB Rooted: No (it was rooted) Boot Status: 4000
Vista 32 Bit
Cant check at the moment (however I believe the drivers are working properly)
Thank you for the response Ill try to help the best I can, Im pretty techy but Ill admit I'm a noob at ADB

ok i see a lot out of this - thanks
would recommend to do the move/rename of kfu to sort out any additional problems
you should have adb commands available and the kf is in normal boot mode
now the ultimate test is to issue:
"adb shell"
- if it goes into the shell ($ or # prompt) you can resume
- if it responds something like <exec "system/bin/sh": No such file or directory> then there is no possibility to get to fastboot mode to install fff and twrp which is necessary to install a fresh rom - if this is the case your only solution is to build or buy a "factory cable" - look at this thread :

Thanks again for helping me out with this.

Im a little confused at this guide are the commands being entered into adb or in kfu? Were does kfu come into play?
Sorry the guide is a little hard to understand

it' not so complicated as it sounds ...
open a elevated command prompt and cd to c:\kfu\tools
here are all commands you need and where kfu comes in play
- you don't need kfu itself - only the tools folder
- leave the command window open all the time

fixing adb problem

hi all,
Just wanted to tell anybody that has issues with adb
like it doesn't show anything(your kindle) after cmd "adb devices"
after about 6 tries i added 0x006
to adb_usb.ini after 0x1949 .
(then re-installed driver; android_winusb.inf)
that fixed it for me....
rooting then only took a few moments with KFU 9.3
do it today!
harry

how does one go about changing this...not that familiar with the deep and dark secrets of adb
nvm figured it out trying it now

open adb_usb.ini with notepad
(add on one line each!)
0x1949
0x006
save file
then go here follow instructions!
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/13/how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver/
do the check described to see if you have the usb driver installed
then read this about KFU 9.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
download KFU 9.3
http://random.kennocha.com/kindle/utility/Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.3.zip
install & follow the on screen instructions
i did option 2 and was rooted & in no time
downloading files from android market
just did the usb driver again on the home computer so it worked
both times for me good luck!
