I can now get into FastBoot with a factory cable. I want to flashall the stock update.zip, but fastboot is asking for a product. I need the syntax to give this command.
Get the kindle fire utility under extras it well download and install it for you.

I tried to flash TWRP but it stays on waiting for device. Any suggestions, I tried to go into fastboot but do not know how to get from there to TWRP install.
Does your computer see the fire? Some have lost drivers during the process.
Also there us a good resource in the dev section in this very issue

Yes, it does recognize the Fire, I believe I was not in Fastboot, since I did not see how to go from Fastboot into the install TWRP menu.
Hiya,
What status does the tool display for fastboot, mode, and adb
Hi I'm new here but lately I'e been reading a lot of the posts about rooting and installing roms on a kindle fire since I recently got one. I got cyanogen 9 on it (I think anyways) and used twrp for it. All went well but when I tried to go back to twrp, it loaded CW. Could anyone point me in the right direction to get twrp back on since I felt more comfortable with that?
Thanks for any help I can get
Get your command prompt ready and make sure both TWRP and fastboot are in your present working directory.
You can use CWM to reboot into fastboot mode or do it manually, then...
fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp.img
Where "twrp" would be the exact name of the recovery.img you want to flash.
After it's installed...
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
...to get out of fastboot. Then reboot.

Just follow the direction in the following thread to install TWRP 2.0 or 2.1. Please note you need to select the KF as a device to download the correct version

Or type it, but yes. You need to be in fastboot mode first (stuck at boot screen). CWM has an option to reboot into fastboot.
[Edit:] Not to insult your intelligence, but make sure your device is plugged into the computer first

After you download the image file, do the following
[ how to flash/install ]
reboot into fastboot mode and enter the command:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
Then you need to change the mode to normal boot. I think that you did fastboot boot filename.img . You need to flash the file into recovery. Good luck

I am in the bootloader. If I type fastboot devices in a command prompt, it returns my device. If I type fastboot boot recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.8.img, I get "cannot load recovery". This worked before. The .img is in the same folder as fastboot. How do I fix this?
Did you know there is a toolkit in the original development that does all of this with a few key strokes? All the scripts are written for you, all you do is type what you want....kinda like a multiple answer test.

Yes but this was always so simple to do. I found the issue.I had an extra recovery in there. The proper command is fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.8.img. Thanks.
If tried reinstalling the drivers and also using the toolkit. I choose not to flash a recovery, just temporary boot so I can install stuff. I tried using fastboot to boot twrp but all I get is a black screen. Seems like sometimes the driver changes. Never had this problem on 4.2

Boot your Nexus to the bootloader by first powering down the phone then simultaneously press and hold the volume down and power buttons for 2 seconds. Once in the bootloader connect the USB cable from the Nexus to your computer. Open a command prompt in the folder where you have installed fastboot, type "fastboot devices", and press enter. If you see a deviceID listed, you will be able to flash TWRP with the command "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-mako.img" (assuming you are installing TWRP v2.6.0.0); otherwise, you will need to reinstall the Nexus drivers.
^The op wants to boot the recovery, not flash it.
Google removed the "fastboot boot" command in the new 4.3 bootloader. The new way to do this is by using the following command:
Code:
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery.img

Hi I've done stupid thing for myself:
i tried flashing 4.4.2 stock rom. coming from 4.2 (i think) did the usual format data/cache. then rebooted then it loops on google logo. I can go to recovery mode.
So are you rooted? Custom recovery? Looking to flash stock? What bootloader do you have? Ota flash? Fastboot flash?

I still cant get fastboot up. ive used minimal fastboot and/or SDK Package. also changed the path for environmental variables.
So more info will help, usually the more info you give the faster your issues can be fixed
Are you in bootloader mode? I take it your using windows, what version? Has adb or fastboot ever worked before? When you type
fastboot devices
You get nothing? Can you post a screen shot of terminal, of environmental variables? Are all proper drivers installed? Does anything pop up in device manager when tablet is plugged into USB while in fastboot, recovery or os? Are you using factory USB cable?

sorry about that.
im in fastboot mode with power and both volumes pressed. i can also go into recovery mode TWRP v2.5.0.0
also rooted and yes windows 7 64 bit. recovery mode or fastboot mode . it doesnt recognized my nexus.
not sure if i have the right drivers. i cant find any drivers to download for nexus 10
Does anything pop up in device manager when tablet is plugged into USB while in fastboot, recovery or os? - No
and yes im using nexus 10 OEM cable.
i really appreciate the time to help me out with this issue.
Its no problem,
The SDK should have the drivers you need, or you can install the universal drivers made by koush or a number of others as well. Just Google search or a search xda for terms like
Nexus 10 drivers
Universal android drivers
Android naked drivers
You will find many that will work just fine for you
If in cmd you type
fastboot
And you see a list of commands than you know you have it installed
When you type
fastboot devices
And you see your serial number your good, if just a blank line then you need to get tab to communicate, this is most often a driver issue. If you can't find ones that work let me know and I'll link some to you, also you may need to uninstall old drivers and than manually install new ones, windows doesn't always do the best job of picking the correct drivers

finally found the driver that works and now
i get R32D2009DAT
Im assuming thats serial number whats the next step
Google search
Android factory images
Here you will download the correct one, latest manta for the nexus 10
Then extract the contents of the zip
Now if you want to keep custom recovery that's a good idea but if you want KitKat you will need stock or at least update to the newest twrp (as you current one won't flash kk)
So if you want twrp then google search
Twrp recovery manta
And then find the latest image, 2.6.x?
Oh and its a good idea to check md5sum for both the zip from android source and for the recovery image, both will tell you what it should be in download screen and there are many ways to check, just google search
Windows md5
There is both official and none official, I personally use Linux command line and can't recall the name of the program I use for windows off hand
Also note that the following commands will wipe all from tablet, it is good to do this but if there is anything real important back it up first
Now from fastboot, enter these commands
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
Now find the bootloader image you extracted from the android .zip
fastboot flash bootloader nameofbootloader.img
Now if you want stock find the system image
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now find the twrp recovery image
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Here you can boot to new recovery and install superuser or just boot to pure stock, or if you want one of the many great custom ROMs you can boot to recovery and use adb sideload to flash one
