Help! After installing Firefirefire not loaded, the animation is loading and everything. In fastboot flashing betrayed recovery type error downloading boot.img failed. Who does not want to be defined in kfu. Hangs in the boot animation. Drivers removed cleanly and raised again, no result (
sorry for my english
Solved!
Can you reboot using fastboot reboot command.
Try
fastboot reboot. If it reboots, then change the mode of booting to normal using kfu.

I can not change to fastboot, it says error: device offline or waiting device
would try to use kfu option 1 - bootmode normal
if it says <waiting for device> power it off by holding the pwr button for ~20sec till it turns of - pwr on again - the command should resume and finish
a second pwr off/on will bring you back to normal
if this is not the case check your device manager - the kf uses 2 drivers
one for adb and one for fastboot - about drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22342376&postcount=6
driver (under android phone):
normal & recovery boot: -> android composite adb interface
fastboot: -> android adb interface
Animation is loading normal mode. name in the Device Manager android composite adb interface. After waiting device, nothing happens
it seems your kf is in fastboot mode - the composite driver is for normal and recovery mode - try to update the driver to android adb interface - then the kfu command should work
adb status: Online (sometimes)
adb rooted: No
boot status: unknown
If I choose to act kfu, it says error: device not found
By some miracle I managed to run the light. But the internal memory for applications, downtrodden, buggy. Fff and put cwr, wrote downloading boot.img Filed, root is. Something with the memory I think. What should I do? than flash? Different kfu, does not help. I wanted to put gscript, but it is put into the internal memory, and then total space 0 and Apps 30mb, and where the SD, then 5gb total space
Rom: Stock
Rooted with KFU 0.9.5
TWRP 2.1
fff 1.4a
The problem I'm having is that when I boot my KF up it goes to fff. I get 3 options to boot from (this is whenever I power down the KF). When I choose to boot to recovery, the power light turns orange for two secs and then it boots; but back to the fff screen. I did this about four times in a row and it still boots back to the ffa screen.
If I choose ~normal boot~, It boots up fine. When I try to use KFU to boot to recovery or fast boot, it says that it is waiting for device. I tried this several times but no luck.
I want to get into recovery. That's my goal. I'm guessing that the KF is not booting in fastboot for it to go into recovery. I tried to reinstall TWRP 2.1 with KFU and it gets to the point where it's waiting for the device and nothing happens.
I'm not very advanced in this stuff. Please be patient with me. Thank you for all your help.
what command are you using to install recovery?
ok
download twrp 2.1.1.img onto pc
turn off kindle (20 second hold) with the usb cable unplugged from the kindle
open terminal where you have fastboot located.
type the following:
fastboot flash recovery </enter/path/to/recovery.img/here>
press enter
you should see waiting for device
then plug in your usb to kindle
this should power up the kindle and fastboot flash a new recovery.
then type
fastboot reboot
note:
(there is a space between recovery & /
i also find it easier to put a space after "recovery" then drag & drop recovery.img into terminal)
ok...
I did everything you said and the cmd console was still <waiting for device> after I plugged in the KF.
I checked in device manager and that's ok for the adb (it says: android composite adb interface).
Still looking to get into twrp recovery.

There's probably something wrong in KFU's process. Could you at least show us its log or a screenshot?
reflash twrp using smirkit. than try to get into recovery again
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
if its waiting for device your pc is issuing fastboot command. so as you say its your kindle.
one of the above methods should work.
imho smikis's smirkit is nice to use
edit: can you copy and paste your commands after you try to flash new recovery
Since upgrading to Windows 8 the toolkit for android and pretty much the drivers are impossible to get working.
It seems that the device has nothing on it, zip, zero. No matter how I try to recover it what ROM it tried to install it didn't work and when I try to access anything via command prompt it can not find the device.
I look at the devices on system manager and there is one listed as unknown device but I do have android phone listed as a device.
It plugs in, makes a sound knowing there is something but its unknown. Tried using the Samsung drivers, no luck there.
I need to do a complete reboot, get the original folders back on but don't know how to get it to recognise and get things going again.

You need to disable driver signing in windows 8 to be able to install drivers for the Nexus.
Done this already, for some strange reason the device listed in Device manager now knows its a adb interface but still listed as a unknown device.
Try getting to look at the Samsung drivers but still no luck.
When you go into the device properties it states the following;-
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
Windows 8 doesn't seem to work very well with adb/fastboot etc...
Do you have access to another computer that has Windows 7 (or XP, Linux?)?
Thanks for you help guys so far.
I do have a Vista 32bit laptop that I can use. Going to install the Toolkit, drivers etc on there and see how far it goes.

I've read where people who are using Win8 and fastboot flashing .img files to get back to stock, it stops/locks up in varying spots...after three hours of messing with it they try another OS (Win7, Linux) and it works within minutes.
Hopefully, Vista works...and I'm sorry you have to resort to Vista!
Well I seen to be getting somewhere but still with strange issues in Device Manager.
It shows Android device with the following devices below.
- Android Composite ADB Interface (yellow exclamation mark)
- Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface (yellow exclamation mark)
- Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface (yellow exclamation mark)
- Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface (yellow exclamation mark)
- Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface (yellow exclamation mark)
- Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface (working properly)
- Google Nexus 7 BootLoader Interface (yellow exclamation mark)
Further down I have Portable Devices with MTP Device listed (yellow exclamation mark).
I have Google Nexus Toolkit installed.

Is this from your Vista machine or Win8 machine now?

Strange. Did you install the USB drivers? Maybe download them from Asus, extract them to your Desktop, right click on your N7 in Device Manager and unistall the drivers for your device, then connect your N7 and browse to the location of the downloaded USB drivers....?
Okay following God knows how many windows updates, following restart I can see that the MTP device is now showing as working properly.
When running the toolkit (version 3.2) it shows the device number at the top under ADB mode but not under Fastboot mode.

Remind me which USB drivers?
Okay, puzzling but it appears to be getting somewhere.
In device manager there is one instance of Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface under Android Device and MTP Device under Portable Devices even though it seems to reinstall the same instance of MTP device every 1 minute or so.
I am installing the Samsung drivers however, the same as before when it comes to the Toolkit. The ADB mode list of devices shows correctly, nothing underneath fastboot mode.
What would be the next stage?
I would boot into fastboot, change directory to your Android SDK - Platform Tools directory, and if you type: fastboot devices
does anything show up?
Well, I would reflash stock images completely. Hopefully you have a backup of whatever is/was on your internal sd card because doing this will erase it.
You can get the image from here (note, I am assuming you have the N7 Wifi Only): https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi
Then, you can revert to stock by following this post: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28544-guide-nexus-7-bootloadersrecoveriesrootback-to-stock/#entry764332
NOTE: Step 10 the file name will be different than shown.
Ok so I have managed to get into the ClockworkMod recovery v6.0.1.9, going with the 'install zip from sideload', used the command adb sideload nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tar.
The screen on nexus says:
Restarting adbd...
Finding update package...
E: Cant open /tmp/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Sorry about this I am a complete amateur when it comes to this stuff, thanks for the help so far.
UPDATE: - I used the CLEANROM 2.5 zip file and it has now gone back to its original state, YES, thank you so much.
This may have happened when I started to use Paranoid Android, they brought out a beta 5 version, which originally worked but I can't see to get it updated via the 'update recovery' step.

Steps done, back to stock which is great, thanks a lot.
Oh man just when I thought my problems were finished.
One thing I forgot to do was run the superuser zip file to give permissions on the clockworkmod recovery. Even trying to do something with Rom Manager within jellybean itself but it says I need permissions.
How can I reverse back and get the superuser.zip from working? At the moment I can not access recovery, tried using command prompts and Rom Manager but to no avail.

You can boot back into fastboot, and download the latest TWRP Recovery from here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
They even give you instructions on the command to run type in: fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery file>
Put the .img file in your Android SDK - Platform Tools folder as well.
Type in the flash recovery command, then reboot to recovery.
From there, you can flash the Superuser.zip (I assume you have it?). If not, here it is: http://download.chainfire.eu/282/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip
You'll also want to make sure that the following files are deleted/removed:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
The reason being is that if they are there, it will reload the stock Android recovery at reboot, which will remove TWRP or CWM if you have flashed those. I would just rename them by putting a .bak on the end of the file names. But to do this, you'll need root first. You may have to: fastboot flash recovery, flash SuperSU zip, reboot, browse to those two locations to verify if those files exist/rename them, fastboot flash recovery again...reboot, and recovery may stick. When I went back to stock and fastboot flashed TWRP, I checked for those files and they weren't there, and recovery stuck just fine.
You're learning the manual way, congratulations! Not too bad is it?!

Wouldn't have got this far without you, really appreciate your help, now its stable with 2.54 Paranoid Android.

Hi folks!
I wanted to install Cyanogenmod as described in Cyanogenmod Wiki.
So I downloaded ioroot, rootet my phone via adb and used AutoRec to install TWRP (version 2.7.0.0).
Then I rebooted into recovery mode, wiped EVERYTHING and wanted to sideload the CM image via adb.
So in TWRP I selected Advanced/ADB Sideload and swipe to start sideload but all that happens is the notification "Starting ADB sideload feature...".
Consequently the phone is not recognized by adb on my PC.
What can I do to make the sideload feature work?
BTW: TWRP tells me that my devices doesnt appear to be rooted when I want to leave TWRP (reboot). Moreover when i want to enter TWRP again (by pressing POWER + VOLUE DOWN) I first get a screen that asks me if want to do a factory hard reset! Only if I agree (by pressing the power key) I get into TWRP.
Contrary when I enter the Download Mode (VOLUME UP when when connecting the powered off phone to the USB port) I am told that the phone is rooted. Moreover the LG Mobile Support Tool is able to detect the device and tells me that the installed software is up to date.
Thx!!
have you tried typing 'adb sideload rom.zip' on a command window on your pc? name the rom, rom.zip, and have it your adb folder.. also type the command from that folder
Make sure you're in the proper folder in prompt and the device name will be sideload if you do, adb devices.

Thanks but this doesnt help either. Same error message "error: device not found"
boot into twrp, don't start sideload
try adb devices, if you get not find you need to change the usb drivers
when you have it working, type, adb push /sdcard/ rom.zip .. check the syntax on that command, but i think that's right from memory
I want to install LineageOS so I closely followed the fastboot and adb instructions on the official site. During my first (failed) attempt, there were some old Google USB and ADB things on my PC, so I deleted everything and started again with a clean slate.
I managed to make ADB work (adb devices detects my device, could authenticate the computer, all seems good there). But if I start the phone in fastboot mode, connect and run fastboot devices, I get nothing back. It doesn't give any sign of the connected device. Windows's "Devices" window lists a device called "Android", but it's under "Unspecified" and has the yellow triangle/exclamation mark on the icon.
1. Am I right to assume that this will stop me from unlocking the bootloader (if I will use the unofficial method) and flashing TWRP and a custom ROM on the device?
2. More importantly: What could be wrong, how can I make fastboot see my phone?
Many thanks for the suggestions!
hi,
first do you have latest ADB and Fastboot
then connect your device and run adb devices. check if it detect the device means from the command prompt run "adb reboot bootloader" (without quotes)
now once after device reboots to bootloader check fastboot devices it will detect now
if not then goto device manager,right click on the device and click on update driver software and choose android fastboot interface
you are done now run fatboot devices,it will detect the device
Solved!
