Ok guys, i have truly screwed up. Im not sure if this is the right thread, but i need some serious help! I had my kindle fire rooted and flashed with cm9. It was running great then next thing i know i was getting spammed with "Sorry but the process com.android.phone has stopped working." everytime i click ok it would pop up again instantly. I looked online and it suggested a double-system wipe. So i did, but without thinking, i wiped the SD folder too! Which deleted my rom! My back ups are gone, i cant restore to anything! I still have TWRP v2.1.1 on it though. But when i boot normal it just sits at a black screen, help me please....

If you mean from the boot menu where it loads TWRP, then yes.

Im kind of new to the twrp, how do i mount my SD Card specifically? i can select mount but nothing shows up on my computer as Removable Disk like it did when i first put the ROM on there. I think my best bet would be pushing the ROM via adb, but could you explain more on how to do so?
Here let me help. I accidently did that this morning. If ur new to kf. adb is complicated. This adb free way. Not steppin on any ones shoes.launch twrp. Then go to mount it should be the bottom left button. Plug ur kf in . Then click mount usb. Then your kf should be connected to ur computer. From there you can go 2 ways download the stock rom. Or download any other custom rom. So download it and google apps on your comp. then copy and paste it somewhere on the kf sd card that you remember. On ur kf after the file is done copying hit unmount. Then reboot kindle and launch it into twrp again. then just hit install then locate the rom and coresponding g.apps then install it. Then ur good to go. I would back that up on the kf using twrp and create a folder on the comp and copy and paste the folders from kf to that just incase this happens again.

Nv ur right
If your having trouble when you go to mount in twrp make sure there are no checks in the boxes of data and system then select mount you should then see your sdcard contents likely you will only see the twrp folder if not you will need to adb push a ROM zip file and a gapps zip to your sdcard to have something to flash as Josepho instructed above if you can't figure out how to do this maybe someone can assist via teamviewer to do so

Copy the tools folder from KFU to your local disk.
Then copy your ROM to your local disk.
Then open cmd and type:
cd c:\tools
adb
adb push c:\ROM'SNAME.zip /sdcard
Then flash it in TWRP(Select Install and then select your ROM)
Note that you do need to have the drivers for your kindle fire installed.

Okay i typed
cd c:\tools then
adb then
adb push c:\cm9-02-24.zip /sdcard
^Is there supposed to be a space?
and it said
"daemon not running. Starting it now"
"daemon started successful"
"error: device not found"
I think its because its not connected through adb? In order for this to work my adb status must be online, correct?

Okay, i typed

adb push c:\cm9-02-24.zip /sdcard
There is a space between .zip and the / right?
Well anyways, the first time i attempted this, it came back with "error: device not found"
I later realized my adb status was offline, so i tried letting it boot through, but since i have no rom on there, it was just a black screen, but i rechecked my device stats and it said
"adb status: online
boot status: unknown" i then re-attempted to push the rom, but it took a few seconds and came back with a different message
"failed to copy 'cm9-02-24.zip' to '/sdcard' : is a directory"
I know the boot status is supposed to be like, 4000, but i cant figure out how to get it to say that. In TWRP, i can click mount and i have the four options for my cache, sdcard, so on and so on. Should i tick the sd card to where it says "mount sdcard" or "unmount sdcard" and should that be the only thing i mount or should i also mount something else with it? Im sorry for being such a pain in the you know what, but thanks for all yalls help.

Try "adb push c:\cm9-02-24.zip /sdcard/" instead, I mean, since /sdcard is a directory...it sounds like it is trying to prevent you from overwriting a directory with a same-named file.
Also, it looks like your Fire is visible to ADB, but to be sure try "abd devices" and see if your Fire's serial number shows up. Probably does once you boot it through to the point where you get the error message about the directory.
Deleted everything on kindle fire hd 8.9
Hi Guys, i have been a complete idiot, managed to root kindle fire hd 8.9 installed twrp then found I couldn't add custom roms as computer was no longer seeing KF. couldn't mount usb. after two weeks of frustration and trying all combinations of installing and un-installing drivers etc got frustrated and instead of factory wipe I deleted everything. KF now doesn't show up on computer, turns on and stops at logo. occasionally unplug usb and plug back in it briefly shows up as Jem-tv- or something. so does it go in the bin or can it be rescued.

Here's one for the genius'
1. I rooted my phone successfully
2. I edited the settings.db file to allow side apps
3. I copied to copy the original settings.db file (that I think I may have corrupted) back and when I restarted my phone, I get a blank screen.... it will not boot into android.
I have a backup of the original settings.db file, but I need to know if there is there a way that I can copy this file back from recovery mode so that I can boot. I do get command line access in through adb, but it will not let me gain su access. Any help would be great.
I would say just hard reset the phone. It'll restore the settings.db back to the factory one.

I'm fairly sure there's a way to completely reset the phone while in recovery mode. Haven't done it, but I read about it somewhere.
I did a reset, but the phone still goes blank after the Galaxy logo. If I can mount the sdcard in recovery I think I can fix it. But I can't get it mounted.
take it back and ask for a replacement. Use your imagination.
If this fails and you have a brick phone that you cant do anything with, then i personally would try to open it up and see if that internal microsd card can be removed and hooked up to a card reader. Ofc this is very risky, and i am in no way telling you that you should follow in my theoretical footsteps. Be careful and good luck.
Is there a way to mount the internal sdcard. I have adb access in recovery mode, but not root. I have removable sdcard, but it does not seem to access that one from the recovery mode.
Also, I see the drives in "My Computer", but when I click them they ask me to insert a card. Is there a way to manually mount it from the ADB shell?
you have adb access? So when you have it plugged in and you go to cmd and type adb devices, the phone pops up as connected?
Yes... I have shell access, just can't get root or mount anything. I had already rooted the phone before all this began.
Try this.
Boot into recovery and type this into your computer
"adb shell"
"mount /sdcard"
"exit"
"adb push <whateverfile> /<path>/<whateverfile>"
"adb shell"
"umount /sdcard"
"exit"
I haven't tried this on my phone, but it should work. Please post back if you have any problems.
That will fail because /<path>/<whateverfile> isn't readable/writeable by non-root users (aka adbd). It's /dbdata or something like that, if memory serves.
For the record, booting into recovery mode and clearing all user data will NOT restore a working settings.db. I think the OP is SOL, although I'd love to learn that I'm wrong! :-(
Yeah I tried "mount /sdcard" already.... No luck, it just tells me "usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory"
I forgot that you can't get root. The only thing i can tell you is to wait for the dump of the original rom whenever that comes out or take it to your ATT store and tell them it broke.
Mostly new to android, but could you create an update.zip which contains a valid dbsettings file and run it using the bootloader (hold down volume buttons and power up)? Would that then install it to the appropriate place?
If you can't recover the settings.db just take it back to the store and tell them the phone just started booting into a black screen. Leave it at that, turn it on for them to show them it does indeed do that. Then they will exchange it for you because it is so soon after the release date. (ask me how I know) :-/. Always check the db file before you copy it over.

If you can access the phone in adb shell, then you might be able to access the recovery console by going to your computer's command line, getting into the SDK tools folder, and typing "adb shell reboot recovery"
Hay, my name's Nick, been reading the posts for a while, decided to join. Iv'e been wanting to root my T-mobile vibrant so i can get a more streamlined ROM will less features to make the ones i use go smoother and faster and get the full potential out of the device. I rooted it no problem with one click root, installed clockwork rom manager, and titanium backup, installed clockwork recovery (i love the clockwork orange icons by the way) put the latest "insanity 0.6.7.zip" in the root of the internal SD, and hit the "install rom" option on the rom manager and selected the .zip, and it made my phone go into the standard recovery mode, no option to install any .zip files. So i opened the rom manager and manually put it into CWM recovery so i could manually install the rom. It looked like it was going to work, but then it sent my phone back to the recovery screen with white text that said "install update.zip" so i did what it said, and it sent my phone into a boot loop. I can get into recovery mode, but when ever i try to recover my backup or access any files it says "no files found, operation canceled" or something like that. It also fails to mount via USB. I can get it to go to download mode but have not tried odin yet, because im on a mac (working on getting bootcamp working now to run windows)
Odin seems like my only option now right? anyone have any idea ware I went wrong? it must have been the incorrect update.zip file right?
I dont think u flashed a vibrant rom
Just mount your internal sd from clockwork and copy over a vibrant rom, and flash
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
have any idea why it wont let me mount my sd card? that makes me worried it wont connect to a Pc in download mode but i haven't had the opportunity to try that yet.
I'd download your rom of choice, there are a ton that are perfect fit first timers. Trigger and Bionix-V seem very stable. Pop your external sd into your computer, copy the .zip for the rom, go into recovery, select install from zip and flash your rom.
Odin is last resort. I'm not familiar with insanity, but maybe it was a bad download?
when it booted up it went to my normal "vibrant" screen, then to an unfamiliar "galaxy s 19000" screen. Im assuming there is a difference between galaxy s and vibrant right?

tried that, when i try to to install zip from sdcard it says "no files found"
i assume it's looking for files on the internal and not the external right? so i tried mounting the external sd card from the mounts and storage menu, and i got an error message that said "E:INFO is WRONError mounting SDEXT !"
In recovery, do you see any folders when you click install from zip, or is that when you get an error message?
If you see folders, can you navigate to external_sd?
i click "install zip from SD" and it brings me to a menu with the options to apply sdcard.update.zip or choose zip from sd card, and when try ether one of those options it says "No Files Found"
I have a rom in a zip on the root of my external now, just cant get to it.
Too bad i cant help trying to fix things that aren't broken

not your external sd, zip should be on your internal sd
since you can get into recovery you can try using adb to push the zip from your computer to the phone
install android sdk and drivers for vibrant then using command prompt navigate to the following directory in the android-sdk folder
\platform-tools\
then execute the following command again in cmd prompt
adb push <dir for zip> /sdcard
if that doesnt work then odin will be your only choice and you must be in download mode to do that

If you can access xda from your phone,download a vibrant rom from there.
Once it's downloaded,it will be in the root of your internal sd,under download.You can then flash it in cwm,or when the download is complete,click on it and choose Rom Manager to open it,and you can flash it from there.
Here's a link to Bionix 1.3.1,on xda.

first you have to be in the android sdk directory and second you must run the sdk manager process and download the rest of the sdk, the bit that you download from the website does not include the full android sdk, you will also need to have java runtime environment 5 or later installed on your pc.
also if you are running adb in linux you need to sudo or su adb commands
in linux you will need to restart the adb daemon
su
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
hope this helps
i ran the SDK and AVd manager and installed the rest of the SDK packages, then found the ADB file and drug it into the terminal, that gave me the list of commands. I plugged in the phone and tried "adb devices" and it said "command not found" tried quitting and restarting terminal a few times and still nothing

thats a security feature within linux it wont show what you are typing but rest assured its registering keystrokes, and you dont drag and drop to terminal
assuming the androidsdk is in your home directory you would type
cd /home/username/android-sdk/platform-tools
then ./adb devices (this is just a check to make sure your phone is being recognized)
i type
/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools
and it tells me
/Users/<my username>/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools: is a directory
then i type ./adb devices
and it says

Im sorry, I have tried everything to get my Kindle Fire up and running again. Ive read forum after forum trying to get it up and running. Ive tried the KFU the newest one and the older one. I tried to root my kindle fire and I some how got it stuck on TWRP 2.0. Here are the details of whats going on.
1. I am stuck on TWRP 2.0.
2. My PC does not recognize this device at all.
3. Ive tried deleting the drivers and re-installing the drivers.
4. None of the KFU devices see my KF on the pc.
5. I cant communicate with my KF device through ADB because the PC doesnt see anything.
6. I made the mistake of system restore through the OEM Amazon menu.
7. I dont have any custom roms on my KF device when I scroll through the TWRP menu.
8. I was a dummy and didnt backup the oem device version.
9. I cannot seem to push update.zip because there is no communication between my PC and the KF device.
10. The KF device is not even recognized for a quick second on my PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried changing the INI file with the recommended numbers on the forum. Thanks for your time and thank you community in advances. I just wanted to get some better features on the device and i ended up paying the price. Once (i hope) it is restored I will never mess with the device again.

in twrp press mount - select sdcard - mount it
in device manager it should show up
if not you should update your drivers
you can use the ones from the newest kfu 0.9.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
extract it to c:\ and rename to something like c:\kfu\ - sometimes it don't like spaces in pathname
if nothing shows up remove your old drivers: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us
and power down and power up your computer (no restart)
then it should detect something - use the drivers you downloaded - select them manually !!!
once you see the sdcard from your pc you can copy one of the prerooted roms (would take the secure version) or cm7 to the sdcard and install with twrp

yes the zip opens on the computer. i redownloaded and i got the zip to show up on twrp then flashed it then rebooted.. but all it does is show the yellow triangle thing and then the power button turns orange for a second and it goes right back to twrp.. im staring to think it might be bricked but i really hope not

do you have kfu available ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
if not download, extract to c:\ and rename "kindle fire utility" to "kfu"
you can let it kfu do for you:
run kfu by "run.bat" and select option 1 - change bootmode to normal
or do it manually by opening an (elevated) command prompt in the tools folder of kfu and issue the commands

hey man that was it.. thanks alot
Thanks for all the help. My actual problem was the drivers needed to be reinstalled and the USB cable I was using was no good. Go Figure!
I some how managed to wipe everything from my fire. The pc is not connecting to storage on device and I don't have any way to copy a file over. I am connected with adb though, and I can get into recovery on the fire. Can I push a zip file over using adb? I have tried, but still not finding it using the recovery.
I think you have to mount sd in recovery and then you can push a zip over. You'll probably have to unmount sd then and then you can flash...I think...

If you have adb working push a rom zip of your choice to /sdcard and then it should show up in twrp. Good luck

Choose install not recovery in TWRP
Thanks so much, got it working. Plenty of practice with wm, but new to android. Now, my 50" plasma just popped and went black, time to check out the Television forums

Code:
adb remount
adb push <filename> <location>
Try that.
I recently rooted my phone. I have not installed any ROMs because i love the stock rom so much but i decided to try one today. I didnt have my computer with me so i downloaded one today and rebooted into recovery. I saved my current rom and then wiped and accidently pressed Data, it asks if i want to wipe everything and i press back. I go to look at my downloads and they are all gone. I look for my backup i had JUST nandroid backed up and it was gone.
So there i am stuck. There is a thread for returning to Stock rom. Sure ok, but its a long process including the 2 gig download which is only uploading at 260mbit/s so another hour or 2.
I have tried sideloading a rom but it fails.
Any suggestions on how to get a rom onto the phone without booting it? I dont have a micro usb to sd card or i would have done that already =/
You need adb on the pc, connect, then in terminal or cmd
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard
Copying the zip to the folder with adb makes it easier and the above command correct, (of course replace ROM.zip with the actual name).

via sideload or no?
No. Sideload could work, I don't remember the command off hand.
Adb push copies it to the internal memory then you flash through the menu normal.

I gave you thanks.
That seems to work. For anyone that gets into this situation where there are no roms in your phone and you have no way to transfer them. Boot into TWRP, do not use sideload. Just main screen. Device manager will show to be just "g2" and you need the driver. In the driver folder from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48709232&postcount=869 driver section, update driver and browse to 64BitADB and choose androidandadb. It will then give you a list of options starting with Testing drivers, one that dates back to 2010 and another thats 2012. You want the one thats 2nd from the bottom called LG G2 verizon net adb or something like that. Works perfect and connects to adb.
If anyone truely needs this process i can break it down to specifics on how to get it to work. Thanks so much for your help fr4nk1yn!
