I booted TWRP recovery onto kindle fire 2

powerpoint45 · Jan 5, 2013

hey guys! Using a factory cable I got into fastboot. Once in fastboot I downloaded TWRP image for the kindle fire 1 http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/blaze/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1-blaze.img then I typed

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot Downloads/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.1-blaze.img

but after doing that it just booted back into fastboot so then I did the same thing but right after the image got downloaded onto the device, I entered the command again and it booted right into TWRP. It takes a few tries but it works. Touch points all work but I am not sure about anything else. Hope this helps with further development.

I like the sound of this. I was looking around for the partition tables of the two devices, and they are a bit different.
KF:

I'm not sure how accurate this is...
KF2:1 131kB 262kB 131kB xloader
2 262kB 524kB 262kB bootloader
3 524kB 11.0MB 10.5MB dkernel
4 11.0MB 78.1MB 67.1MB ext4 dfs
5 78.1MB 78.2MB 65.5kB idme
6 78.2MB 78.2MB 16.4kB crypto
7 78.2MB 78.2MB 2048B misc
8 78.2MB 95.0MB 16.8MB ext4 efs

12 1041MB 1722MB 682MB ext4 cache
13 1722MB 7818MB 6096MB ext4 userdata

How could we modify twrp to include these values instead?

We might have to build from source(https://github.com/TeamWin/device_amazon_blaze). How does the partitions compair to the kf hd? Because someone made cwm for hd.

I'm really no good when it comes to this, I'm not a dev... but I pay attention enough to know a little bit about what's going on. I think the partitions are very similar to the hd.

Is that switch on your cable to select whether or not you want fastboot? cause that's an interesting idea. I'm assuming you made that yourself.
also how would I build from that? I'm interested to learn, and have many resources... If I learn how to do this all now, I could be a pretty good dev.. I just don't know how.

Yes it is. It switches between fastboot an regular.I think I might try to flash a recovery image made for the kfhd later also I may try to flash the jb rom for kfhd

Unless they have a touch recovery it's probably going to be useless..

since his stuff is based off of the 8.9 development section, I shot over to there, and picked up this video. it shows the cwm in use. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuZvz1McWNE
I went to amazon, and looked at their little drawings of the 7 and 8.9, they have volume buttons on their bottom edge.

I have my own factory cable, I will gladly test anything, I'm not scared to brick it, and have amazon replace it when I lie to them... That's happened twice now..

Oh i totally forgot about that. I guess twrp is my best bet... Do you think roms would flash properly with twrp made for kindle fire v1 or...

Like I said, I don't know much, but I wonder if we could mount the recovery partition and make changes and see how it works after flashing.
The partitions aren't going to be mounted correctly.
also, I saw a post a little bit ago that mentioned using adb to simulate volume button presses.(not sure if that's possible)
adb shell
input keyevent <volume button code>
and I also saw this post a little glimmer of hope for cwm..
(I think this is the reason the kf2 is left out.)
Try to make a backup first without flashing anything.. if that works..

Good idea about the key codes. You mean try to make a backup in twrp? ....I think i will flash the cwm recovery made for kfhd and try to get keycodes working...but not now it is 4am over here lol

you know, making a backup might hurt more than it helps... keycodes sounds better anyway. Central time that stuff rocks, we live in the same timezone. cwm comes before twrp anyway. once we have a workingish cwm, we can start to make a twrp. Knowing that we have the proper setup within a previous build of twrp means it should be easier to do, rather than figure every value out from scratch. you said touch points work correctly... I'll play with twrp when I get my replacement tomorrowish. (or later today depending on how you look at it.) I'm tired of being a leech. I want to start figuring stuff out, maybe contribute a little lol.

I pmed revkjr and asked him what the output of the button codes was in cwm so hopefully I could try that whenever my replacement is here.

Ok cool. You should ask him if the ROM will flash correctly on the kf1 with cwm or even twrp...I think the keycodes wont be too hard.

how did you get twrp running then? Why did twrp boot but cwm didn't?
did you try flashing it in boot system and recovery to get it to boot to cwm?
