Unroot, TWRP, SU GONE WRONG! - 7" Kindle Fire HD General

I was trying to get my Kindle Fire HD 7, getting it ready to sell (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409435). But i've done something wrong, i have transfered the file to my Kindle, wipe everything expect sd. Afterwards i flashed the update 7.4.6 bin, and wipe the sd again. And rebooted my Kindle fire. And now its stuck on the Kindle Fire logo. HELP! I need fix this within the next 24 hours! I DO NOT have a fastboot cable either.

Does the logo ever turn blue? If it doesn't you will need a fastboot cable to fix.

No! it's just stuck on the orange logo. I dont have a fastboot cable, i'm selling this within the next 24 hours to someone. I need to get this fix ASAP!

Well unless you can make a fastboot cable with a soldering iron then your going to have some problems. I can try to see if you can get it into fastboot the way we do 8.9" models, but if you plug the device in and your PC doesn't detect a Tate device in the device manager then you will have to goto the fastboot cable method. If it does then try to quickly install the drivers in my signature. From there you would just need a command prompt and the fastboot command.

How Do I Flash CM7?

I've never done this and couldn't find anything up to date online :/ I'm rooted and adb is working - I just need to know where to put the contents of update-wipeall.zip: 'META-INF' 'system' and 'boot.img' - also, I'm pretty sure I use TWRP to flash ROMs, please include how to open it in your answer
Thanks - you guys are so helpful!
This was 2 posts below yours are you blind?

Thanks!! No lol im not blind I just didn't know that would tell me how to install cm7 by the title.
Edit: Those instructions only tell me to copy the update.zip to sd card - what do I do with the 2 folders that came with the latest cm7?

You have to flash Fire Fire Fire and TWRP. The easiest way to install is using Kindle Fire Utility from developtment section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
When you flashed it you see a yellow tiangle when you boot your Kindle Fire. Press the Power button until Power LED turns orange. Now the Kindle Fire boots into TWRP and you can flash CM7.
I used kindle fire utility to install twrp already - I think it installed FireFireFire too since I've seen the yellow triangle screen already.. if I'm wrong let me know. If I'm right - how do I get back to the FireFireFire screen to do it?

Fire Fire Fire is a bootloader you can "see" it everytime you boot your Kindle Fire.
Ok I just rebooted my kf and I do have FireFireFire installed - i know update.zip goes in sdcard but what do I do with the two folders that came with cm7

may i ask did you install fire fire and twrp since on a kindle you rooted with burrito root?

what folders?
you don't extract update-wipeall.zip at all, leave it as it is, just copy it in your sdcard.
When KF boots up keep power button pressed till TWRP shows up. Perform a backup if you want, so you can revert to Stock. Otherwise click Install and locate update-wipeall.zip on your sdcard, click it and then click Flash.
Don't worry about those errors, just click Reboot system when everything finishes.
Don't keep the power button pressed, let it boot by itself.
Enjoy CM7!
I used kindle fire utility .9 to permanent root (which installed burritoroot) then used it to install TWRP which I'm guessing installed FireFireFire as well since I see the triangle when I boot. Thanks for the info I didn't know I wasn't supposed to unzip it - I'm about to try now, thanks!

Oh my my my, we have a newbie here. Yikes!!!!!! Read the TUTS. Also if you don't even know not to unzip the rom, you shouldn't being doing this kind of stuff. You might end up making a 200 dollar paper weight.

Bad drivers.

Go to device manager on your PC and find any drivers named kindle, or android, and uninstall them (you might have to show hidden drivers for them to show) and install the ones that came with kfu. Then reboot your PC and plug your fire in to the USB. And it should recognize your device

I see you mentioned Samsung and root in the same sentence. Perhaps you already installed Samsung drivers? I had the same problem rooting my KF and this is what finally solved it for me: (quoted from android.stackexchange.com/questions/17625/where-is-debugging-mode-on-kindle-fire )
"You simply need to add the Fire's device ID to your android_usb.ini file so that the Google ADB drivers will find it. You can do this from the command line very easily with:
echo 0x1949 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini
Then restart adb
adb kill-server
adb start-server

It sounds like you flashed an improper image of some sort, and your lucky you still get some life out of your kindle...

I wonder why we are so impetuous and threw ourselves(I included), without reading other's experiences, to do things that can potentially break our beloved devices?
One sees that adventure is adventure, but as well that with only a bit of patience reading the archive almost all the "casualties" could have been avoided....
My kfhd is on. because when I press the power button and turn on the device is displayed kfhd logo in orange and immediately placed the red screen and my pc does not detect when connected by USB cable manufactures. What I can do? Help me
That's the point, calm down and read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Start with the basics before doing something worse. Read from the beginning to the last (83th) commentary. Is the correct form of doing things.
But first of all, the necessary cable is not that of the Kindle, is a especially modified one named "factory"that has 5 volt on the middle contact(5 pins) of the micro-usb, unused in your "manufacturer" cable.
You can find that special cable here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20380015#post20380015

If you have a factory cable which you can buy from SkOrPn, then you can use KFHD First Aide to recover your kindle. Just follow the steps, it's easy as 1,2,3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

Proceeding at all with 7.4.7 is at own risk. I have a used tablet coming in the mail and will be here Tuesday. I will restore and test out rooting with binary and try some KFFA things with 7.4.7. I won't know anything until late Tuesday evening. Maybe someone will come along with some information before then. If not, I will let you know then.
Edit - Because this is possibly new hardwareI have edit my response to say just don't try it until you here from those who made the scripts give the all clear. I thought this was just an update to the 2012 Kindle Fire HD and the new Kindle Fire HD. This may not be the case. Until it gets sorted out, probably best to wait for the devs to sound off.

How did you tried? Did it root? Did you have a factory cable?
Try this...
Get Bin4ry's root and extract the 'fakebackup.ab'. Get ADB set up and working and enter the following:
Code:
adb restore fakebackup.ab
If the restore screen pops up, where it says "restore my data" at the bottom (don't press on it though), then there's a good chance they didn't patch the exploit. If the ADB restore hasn't been disabled, I would say go ahead and try to root it. It probably wouldn't hurt to make sure the factory cable still works though.
Confirmed as working

You can try again. One will install some launchers with it too. Be careful though. Using this tool on the 4th generations is not widely tested. Not that I know of anyway.

Hi, My kindle is not the newest one, so I assume it's normal Kindle fire HD 7'', I tried to run it another few times with different setups on my pc etc. same error every time. It's weird that it says it's rooted but I can't get most of the thing working, perhaps I should try to put in recovery, alt boot loader and install some different rom. But because I'm not confident about my root I rather use amazon-handicapped device than get a brick.
I would not proceed until your root is working properly. Sometimes the rooting process has to be repeated. You will want to get a fastboot cord just in case if you try to install ROM.
Just the other day I had to run root and restore 4 times before it took. Ended up I got the one that installs Apex launchers as well and just installed that afterward.

Hi, to install 2nd bootloader and twrp and then cm11 factory cable isn't needed. Kffa want downloading files to downgrade to7.2.3 so I got it manually inhaled then twrp and cm11 no problem. But then cm11 started crashing so I rebooted kindle butit dinner start, in twrp it reported that storage can't be mounted, I have pushed Rom using adb but it wouldn't install due to storage issue soI used that tool to recover kindle but after successful installation I got into a reboot loop. Factory reset cable is already ordered. After cm 11 issues I don't know if I'll try it again.

Firefox OS tester wanted!

I was bored and decided to try to build a rom and see what happens, i don't know any c coding so its a bit of it it compiles and works great, if it doesnt work then i'll need a c compiler and both my friends that know c coding dont get online often.
Anyways about the details, i have sucessfully built a 7" and 8.9" Kindle Fire HD version of the rom, soupmaget is going to test the 8.9" rom, but i need a 7" tester prefereably with a fastboot cable incase things go south like the first time where it deleted the second bootloader from the system partition, though i think i fixed that. Anyways if you are interested in testing this pre-alpha build of the rom, plz reply back and il send you a link in a private message to the rom. On another note te tester should also be prepared to do a full backup of their sdcard of their device including the sdcard because i have not ever used this os so i have no idea how it handles the sdcard data, while it shouldnt wipe it i just think it would be a good idea in general.
I can test it.
I have a fastboot cable and the only files that I have are books anyway.
OK sweet I'll pm you the link with instructions.

First test:
Downloaded and flashed just fine. After wiping Dalvik/CACHE and rebooting into system it did show the Kindle Fire Animation followed by the TWRP animation and then displayed fastboot. Holding the power button down for 20 seconds powered it off and access to TWRP was still possible. Flashed a nandroid and all is fine. Let me know when the next update is available.

So ok im confused it just went into fastboot after trying to boot or something? If thats the case there must be something very wrong with the kernel i think.

Correct. The flash was successful (in other words it did not fail.) I click reboot into system from TWRP. I saw the Kindle Fire animation followed by the TWRP animation and then, then stead of the ROM animation, it went strait to fastboot. Then I force powered it down, was able to access TWRP, wiped and then flashed my backup nandroid and the Kindle booted with no permanent issues. But yes, something is not right there.
Basically, rather than booting into the system, it booted into the bootloader.

*facepalm* i'm going to have to check the kernel image, this whole setup i used is kinda rigged because this os was designed to work with a specific version of jb aosp, and cm 10.2 is close to that revision but not exact so i used aosp as my source and had to modify some of hashcodes file sto get it to compile, but it finally did compile, seeing as there were problems here and there i'm going to take a wild guess the boot.img is using the standard header and not amazons, and thats just a wild guess at best, i don't know what a normal header would do on a kindle, but i will try to decompile the boot.img and see if it errors out like a usual kindle boot.img would if you dont shave off the header with dd.
Man i hate double posting but i thought i'd mention i think what i guessed at was right because it split immediately upon running the splitting script... so now i guess i need to ask hashcode wtf is going on and how to fix it since it's not compiling the boot.img with the correct header.
Sounds like a plan.

On another note te tester should also be prepared to do a full backup of their sdcard of their device including the sdcard because i have not ever used this os so i have no idea how it handles the sdcard data, while it shouldnt wipe it i just think it would be a good idea in general.

I will next time I make a build after fixing this boot.IMG issue I have, I haven't seen hashcode in the IRC since Wednesday and I haven't been able to fix the makefile issue yet, I have to transfer some of the code from cm's /build/core/Makefile to mine, specifically the parts that let's board_custom_booting_mk work to generate the booting correctly. You would think there would be a patch for aosp that does this, but I guess most devices don't need a custom bootimg?

I have understood that the boot.img should go hand in hand with the system you build,
so a custom boot.img should be mandatory
excuse my bad English, I use google translator
Any chance of a build compatible with the kf2?
I'm too broke to buy the newest fire hdx that's on sale for $180 today,so I'm holding on to my 2012 non-hd fire.

Keep an eye on Swappa. People are dumping their older models for cash for the newer models.

I plan on building it for all supported kf's, right now I'm working out the build kinks and seeing if it will even boot. Just fixed the makefile issue but I may have introduced another issue by using a certain patch to disable recovery a while back, so I may need to grab a fresh copy of the make file and repatch it, I'll pm when it's more ready to test which will be soon.

Send me a PM once you get the boot.img thing fixed. I have a fastboot cable, too.

Hi,
Just for understanding right. Is this for the Kindle Fire HD KFSOWI (3rd gen)?
If yes then I absolutely want to try your Rom.
Thanks in advance.
