dekor8tor,

You appear to have several issues, one you are missing the Path, so first:

Code: 
cd C:\KFFirstAide
adb shell "/system/xbin/busybox mount -o remount,rw ext4 /system"
adb shell "rm /data/local.prop" 
adb shell su -c "rm /data/local.prop"
adb shell "/system/xbin/busybox mount -o remount,ro ext4 /system"
adb reboot

Then fix this PLEASE:

Problem #6: You are missing the Path statement (most common)
Solution #6: Add the Path statement as noted:

windows_environment_variables-500x368.png


Then click on:

windows_environment_variables-500x368.png


IGNORE THE BLUE HIGHLIGHT. The Path Statement is located above PATHEXT:

I'm going to have to call it a night with that. It's 0200-something, tired & The Park is being a ***** (ever seen a man with Parkinson's try to type? it's funny if it's not you). I got my Kindle back to non-flashing by deleting local.prop Hope my time was of use to y'all.

This is easy to fix. Hold the Kindle Fire Power Button Down for 1 full minute, then release it, wait 1 minute and depress the power button again. The Kindle should boot fine.

Please fix you path, unfortunately this will be a constant problem until you fix the Path. Once you fix the path reboot your PC and run Option 21 again.

BELASCO,

We made a version Windows 7 proof. Be sure to RunMe.bat "As Administrator", one idea I had was to do this:

Step 1: Download and extract the Update, if WinZip gives you trouble try 7-Zip this is by far the best Unzip utility and is free.

Rev 60 Change Log:
1. Added Busybox detection
2. Added redundant mount commands
3. Added redundant removal of local.prop file
4. Option 21 Root is Highly Reliable

Note: If at any point the Kindle is reacting odd, use ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, navigate to /system as a Superuser, find and delete local.prop or:

Code: 
cd C:\KFFirstAide
adb shell su -c "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system" 
adb shell su -c "rm /data/local.prop > nul"
adb shell su -c "rm /data/local.prop"
adb shell su -c "mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system"

Kindle Fire First Aide Revision 4.1.60-Beta for Windows - USB Driver Install

rjay3 said:
Any more ideas on the error: device not found I can try? if it helps, when i use other rooting methods, i get the permission denied errors.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

rjay3,

I suspect this is due to a driver issue. What is shown in the Windows Device Manager? Do you see:

Kindle > Android ADB Interface

Portable Devices > Kindle

If no, what do you see in the Windows Device Manager?

Windows 7 64 bits…
Here is an alternative driver you can manually install if the other driver is not working - Unzip it to your Desktop:


https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/usb_driver.zip





Step by Step Guide

  1. Connect USB cable to Kindle Fire.
  2. Go to Devices and Printers.
  3. Double click on Kindle.
  4. Go to Hardware tab.
Kindle-Fire-Properties.png



  1. Select Kindle with yellow exclamation mark, then click on Properties.
  2. Go to Details tab.
Kindle-Fire-Properties2.png


7. At Property, choose Hardware Ids.
8. That’s Kindle Fire USB hardware Id that we going to use later.
9. Just leave the property window open.
10. Go to C:\Users\YourUserName\.android folder. If this does not exist you may create one.
12. Open adb_usb.ini with notepad.
13. Key in 0×1949. (don’t copy and paste)
14. Save it
15. Let’s go back to Kindle property window.
16. Go to General tab.
17. Select Update Driver… then.
18. Select Browse my computer for driver software ~ Locate and install driver software manually.
19. Select Browse…, and select the location you extracted the usb_driver
20. When Windows Security prompt, select Install this driver software anyway
21. That is it!

BELASCO,

Maybe the software folder had not updated and you may have been downloading partial updates. This would explain the odd output you were posting - this must be the case. The more I thought about it, this makes complete sense!

We have made the new version Windows 7 proof, try it when you are back awake.

BELASCO,

Do not worry I'll figure it out, let me sleep on it, in the mean time download and try the update. I worked on the code for a solid 4 hours and make it Windows 7 proof.

The new package has several lines of redundancy that we would normally not use but this is the Kindle, anything can happen and we want to be ready.

dekor8tor,

You are correct, you do not have Root. when you run Option 21 do you see Restore on the Kindle? Do you click on Restore? Then let the software complete?

We made some important changes to Rev 60, please download and extract the complete package. Be careful to NOT create a second folder inside of C:\KFFirstAide OK? The best poractice is to download the new package to your desktop, use 7-Zip to unzip it, then transfer copy and paste all the files and folders in the desktop package. So when you extract on the desktop you will have a folder named KFFirstAide64 or KFFirstAide32, open this folder, select all the items and choose COPY, then navigate to C:\KFFirstAide and open this folder, then Right Hand Mouse click over the C:\KFFirstAide folder and select Paste. Be sure to answer YES to overwriting the contents.

Does this make sense?

Here is the update, be sure to use the one designed for your specific platform, also make sure you are running the latest version of Oracle Java SE, we have both Java packages below this response (at the very bottom page).

BELASCO,

The more I though about this issue, the more it began to make sense, I think I was just too busy to think straight a few hours ago. Now I am running on pure adrenalin. We setup this package to Run As Administrator, so be sure to select Run As Administrator.

You started to describe the problem, I would like a little more details. We know your Path Statement is perfect, check. We know you are running Windows 7, correct? Check, we know you do not have the C:\Windows\System32 path missing, check. We know you do not have the SDK installed, check. You have check the device manager and it should show 4 icons total:

Kindle > Android ADB Interface
Portable Devices > Kindle

Check. You have created a shortcut to the desktop and you will run it from now on "As Administrator", check. What I need a little more details is the "Windows keeps bringing me back to the default path of C:\Windows\System32\" can you give me any more deatils? Do you mean when you exit the software you see C:\Windows\System32\? This should not be happening since the DOS windows should close with our software - I think if we focus our attention here, we will find a solution.

When you create a shortcut to RunMe.bat are you opening up C:\KFFirstAide and finding RunMe.bat, then Right Hand Mouse Click on RunMe.bat and choose Send To - Desktop - Create Shortcut. After you do this there will be a shortcut on the desktop. Next go to the Shortcut and Right Hand Mouse click over the desktop shiortcut select Preoperties. Here is where you will check the box Run As Administrator - leave everything else default. Please do this so you have a new clean shortcut. Then run the software and select Option 23, does it run error free now? Or at least fairly error free? We did make a large number of changes to this install making it more Windows 7 friendly.

If that does not solve your issue, we would like you to run the software like this:

1. Find the Windows Command Prompt icon
2. Bring the mouse to the Command Prompt icon, Right Hand Mose Click "Open As Administrator"
3. When this command prompt opens you should be at C:\Windows\System32
4. Type the following:

Code: 
cd C:\KFFirstAide

5. You should now see C:\KFFirstAide
6. From this point type:

Code: 
RunMe.bat

7. Select Option 23

How does the software run now? Does the install complete? Is the Kindle better now?

dekor8tor,

Correct the Path as per my last post to you and Run the Option 11 first if the ADB communication is fine Run Option 21 to Root. Be sure to pay close attention to the Kindle for 2 things:

1st: The Restore - Click on Restore when you see it show up on the Kindle. Then pay close attention to our software there will be times you need to press any key to continue

2nd: Pay attention to a SuperSU or Superuser Pop-up or Request on the Kindle, be sure to Allow or Grant the request.

DO NOT install the Google Play or Google Apps until we are 100% sure you have Root, OK? If something fails, post the failures. As the Root process runs there may be minor errors, these can be expected since we are Exploiting the Kindle to Root it.

Was it you that was having a hard time figuring out which Java to download? If yes, see the bottom of this post we left you the Java links so you can update Java if needed.

dekor8tor,

You are correct, you do not have Root. when you run Option 21 do you see Restore on the Kindle? Do you click on Restore? Then let the software complete?

We made some important changes to Rev 60, please download and extract the complete package. Be careful to NOT create a second folder inside of C:\KFFirstAide OK? The best poractice is to download the new package to your desktop, use 7-Zip to unzip it, then transfer copy and paste all the files and folders in the desktop package. So when you extract on the desktop you will have a folder named KFFirstAide64 or KFFirstAide32, open this folder, select all the items and choose COPY, then navigate to C:\KFFirstAide and open this folder, then Right Hand Mouse click over the C:\KFFirstAide folder and select Paste. Be sure to answer YES to overwriting the contents.

Does this make sense?

Here is the update, be sure to use the one designed for your specific platform, also make sure you are running the latest version of Oracle Java SE, we have both Java packages below this response (at the very bottom page).

Kindle Fire First Aide Revision 4.1.60-Beta for Windows - Busybox Installation

dekor8tor said:
Hi Chris i done that and got this
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

dekor8tor,

You need Busybox. When you obtain Root, and you are 100% sure you have Root, then run Option 18 to Install Google Play Store, this will install Busybox, we just added this feature tonight at 02:19am PST GMT -8.

As a matter of fact we added the Busybox installer to every option to it does not matter which one you use, they will all first check for a Busybox install and if you do not have it installed, our software will perform a Smart Busybox install with full Symbolic link support.

Please do not select any of the options other than 21 until we know you have Root, OK? Root Checker Basic is very reliable.

    we love to give you the feature that are important to YOU not us.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 1: Using Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer Download Kindle Fire First Aide 4.1.100-Beta:
    KFFirstAide.zip
    Note: Be sure to extract the package to C:\KFFirstAide

    Update Java To The Latest Version here: Java SE Development Kit 7u25
    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 2: Using either 7-Zip or Microsoft Zip, unzip the KFFirstAide100.zip to your C:\ Drive as C:\KFFirstAide

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 3: With your mouse, open the C:\KFFirstAide contents by double mouse clicking the C:\KFFirstAide folder

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 4: Find the RunMe.bat file. Right Hand Mouse click on RunMe.bat, select 'Send to', select Desktop (Create Shortcut). Now press the Left Hand Mouse button to create the Shortcut named RunMe.bat. Temporary disable the Android SDK.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 5: Find the RunMe Shortcut on your desktop, select it by left mouse click over the icon, then while on the icon choose Right Hand mouse click, select Properties.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 6: This will display the RunMe properties. Select the General Tab, change the top name to KF First Aide. Then click on the Shortcut tab, click on Advanced. Check 'Run as Administrator', click OK, then click Apply, then click OK. All windows should be closed.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 7: Double Mouse Click the new Icon named KF First Aide. You may be presented with a security window, just click Yes.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 8: Please click on the Windows Key plus Pause/Break, this will display the Windows System Properties. Next Click on the Advanced Tab and find "Environment Variables". Please click on Environment Variables and find the Path Statement. Carefully add at the end of the Path Statement:

    Code: 
    ;C:\KFFirstAide

    Note: Do Not forget the (;) semi-colon before the C:\KFFirstAide

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 9: That is it! The software is ready. Next we get the Kindle ready to Flash.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 10: Next, go to the Kindle, pull down the status menu, select More+ then select Security, make sure Enable ADB is ON. Last, depress the <- and select Device. Make sure 'Allow Installation of Applications' is On.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 11: Insert the Original USB Cable to the Kindle, please ensure you have a solid connection, this is VERY critical.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 12: Next, make sure the Kindle Fire is Turned Off. Take the other end of the USB Cable and carefully inset it into a free USB Slot on your Computer - be careful to not disconnect the other end.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 13 : The Kindle Fire should automatically turn on and boot regular Bootmode. If the Kindle does not turn on depress the power button until it turns on. Next select Option 15 in the Software. The Kindle will reboot and will now see a screen that says: Fastboot Kindle Fire.

    Note: If Option 15 does not trigger the Kindle to boot into Fastboot, then your Bootloader is damaged. Please send SkOrPn a PM to order a Factory USB Cable.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 14: Place the Kindle on a safe surface so it does not disconnect when running the software.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 15: Launch the KF First Aide software by double mouse clicking on the KF First Aide icon.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 16: You will be presented with a Kindle Fire First Aide Menu, carefully select the operations you would like to perform on the Kindle.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 17: If the option states "Fastboot" you need to leave the Kindle as noted above, this is Fastboot Mode. As the last operation be sure to Wipe the Cache and User Data which is Backup Option 3 in the Menu.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 18: Next, we will disable "Fastboot Mode" and enable ADB on the Kindle Fire. Select Option 10 in the Software Menu, the Kindle will Reboot into Regular Mode.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 19: You may now perform the 'ADB Mode' options in the Menu.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Note 1: Remember, after you perform the full Recovery, you are working with a Fresh Copy of the Software. ADB is disabled by default so be sure to Enable ADB under Security and Allow Installation of Programs under the Device Tab.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Note 2: After the complete restore, please be sure to clear the Davlik Cache and the User Data by selecting Backup Option #3. You may also wipe the User Data and Cache by opening a Administrative Command Prompt within the KFFirstAide Folder and enter:

    Code: 
    fastboot -i 0x1949 erase cache
fastboot -i 0x1949 erase userdata 
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

    Kindle Fire First Aide Note 3: The original versions of the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" with a software Versions 8.2.3 or 8.2.4 may find there Kindle Boot-loader loops to a Red Fastboot Screen. If your Kindle is stuck in Fastboot, please follow these steps to recover the Boot-loader: How To Recover Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Bootloader*

    Note: Please be aware of two main options in the Menu - one is Fastboot Mode where you have several Menu Operations that use Fastboot to execute properly and two is ADB Mode where you have several Menu Operations that use ADB to execute properly.

    Backup Option #1 Note: When selecting Backup Option 1 the images will be backed up to the SD Card in a folder named KindleBackup. Please copy this folder to your desktop until we are able to upload it to our secure servers. There will be a restore option in the future that will automatically pull YOUR images for restoration. There is a known Bug in Windows where you will not see the images in the Kindle Internal Drive which can be found in Computer. To overcome this issue, please download and install WiFi File Transfer then open your Web Browser to transfer these Backup files from your Kindle to the PC.

    Backup Option #2 Note: When selecting Backup Option 2 the images are first copied to the Kindle, then they are transfered to your Computer inside a folder named Backup which can be found inside the C:\KFFirstAide folder.

    *Note: After several conference calls with the Amazon Development Team we found Amazon applied a patch to the Bootloader in an effort to lock down the Bootloader, this patch rarely causes the Bootloader to stick or Bootloop, please use the above link to release the Bootloader. We have removed this patch from the boot-prod.img eliminating future issues with recovered HD 8.9" users.

    Krsmqn,

    We thought of you when we were developing this package, It took us over 4 months to perfect. We held back many feature, just wait until we release the Production Version of 4.2.3, it even made us smile:D. As we have said before,
    we are truly honored to be part of the XDA Community and feel blessed to be able to offer this software to XDA Members. This package and version 4.2.3 is fee based elsewhere.

    How To Manually Recover The Kindle Fire 8.9" Stuck In Fastboot?

    To All-

    If you would like to try a last ditch effort in getting the Kindle Fire 8.9" back online, please do the following:

    Step 1: Please run the Kindle Fire First Aide, attempt the HD 8.9" Recovery, if it fails move on to Step 2

    Step 2: Exit the Kindle Fire First Aide utility, double mouse click the KFFirstAide Folder.

    Step 3: Download Boot Image Number 1 from here (save the image to the KFFirstAide Folder): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/kfhd-8.2.3/Images/boot-prod.img

    Step 4: Download Recovery Image Number 2 from here (save the image to the KFFirstAide Folder): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/kfhd-8.2.3/Images/recovery-prod.img

    Step 5: Open up an Administrative Command Prompt from within the KFFirstAide Folder by opening up the KFFirstAide Folder then press your Right Hand Mouse Key while you are over the KFFirstAide Folder contents, then select Open a command prompt here. You should see something like

    Code: 
    C:\Users\Your Name\KFFirstAide>
    Step 6: Next you would make sure the Kindle Fire is plugged into USB and Turned off, type the following and press enter after the command while the Kindle is off and plugged into USB:

    Code: 
    fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
    Step 6: You will see a Windows Command Prompt that will look like:

    Code: 
    C:\Users\Your Name\KFFirstAide>fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
<waiting for device>
    Step 7: Next Power on the Kindle While you see the above, one the Kindle Boots the Kindle will suddenly reboot back into Fastboot although we have seen this step free the Bootloader, so if the Kindle begins to Boot normally unplug it from USB, if the Kindle boot back to Fastboot red screen proceed to step 8.

    Step 8: While the Kindle is in Fastboot Mode type the following at the Windows Command Prompt:
    Code: 
    fastboot flash recovery recovery-prod.img -i 0x1949
    Code: 
    fastboot erase cache -i 0x1949
fastboot erase userdata -i 0x1949
fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
    Step 9: Leave the Kindle Plugged into USB. Wait for the device to Boot back to Fastboot, if the device boot back to a Fastboot screen with odd vertical line running through it, stop here, the Kindle has begun the recovery phase. If the Kindle begins it recovery, it will react odd and reboot several times, this is normal. Wait 10 to 15 minutes. If the Kindle boot back to Red Fastboot Screen proceed to Step 10.

    Step 10: Leave the Kindle Plugged into USB. Next type the following command:

    Code: 
    fastboot flash boot boot-prod.img -i 0x1949
    Step 11: Next let's do a little house cleaning. The following commands wipe the old Dalvik Cache and User Data which is, in simple, tied to the old Android Operating System. Having said this, when the new OS attempts to retrieve data from these partitions, a content stream of errors occur in the background, causing the Kindle to react VERY slow and at times completely unresponsive. To eliminate this problem we will wipe these partitions before booting the new OS. Please enter the following commands, press enter after each one:

    Code: 
    fastboot erase cache -i 0x1949
fastboot erase userdata -i 0x1949
fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
    Step 12: Unplug from USB. The Kindle HD 8.9" will reboot with an odd Fastboot screen with vertical lines running through it, this is normal, do not interrupt the recovery. Let the Kindle begin it's recovery phase. This may take up to 10 to 15 minutes and the Kindle will reboot several times.

    Step 13: Once the Kindle Stabilizes, please be sure to apply the Amazon OTA Patch before connecting the Kindle to your WiFi, otherwise you will loose Root and Google Play Store which are both installed on the images.

    Step 14: After you applied the patches please wait for the Kindle to rebuild itself, this can take up to a couple of hours. If after 4 hours the Kindle is still reacting slow, perform a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Factory Reset. This option can be found under the More+ > Device > Restore to Factory Defaults. We find this last step is rarely used.
