"The system cannot find the batch label specified - submenu_2"

I get this when trying to switch to fastboot mode.

I actually downloaded the .img and the firefirefire stuff, but wondering if it will ALWAYS try to download it, or if I put it in a folder (the same or a subfolder) it will just use what's there?

If you need someone to help test things, I could try and see what I can do. I am familiar with dos and adb commands, not an expert mind you, but I know most of it.

I know what's wrong with it, just gotta fix it.

I will post a new version in about an hour or so. I need to shower to really wake up and get moving.

Thanks for catching these issues guys :)

in windows 7


"findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.


also the install script for the drivers isn't working for me either?

Thanks!

Am I the only one with this issue? I ended up doing everything manually and works great. But this program would be cool to get to work.

Is there a particular version of the KFU that your using? If your using V.3, try using V.2 or V.1 and see if the issue persists. Also check to see if you have findstr.exe under %SYSTEM%\Windows\System32

Sorry, didn't see your post Vashypooh. I just checked 5 random machines here at work and they all have findstr.exe in the proper place. I think he may be an isolated incident.
fmb111, check that folder that Vashypooh mentioned and see if that file is there, if not get a copy for your OS and put it in there. That should fix it.

    WARNING: DO NOT use this on 2nd Generation Devices or you risk bricking your Device.

    These procedures are for FIRST GENERATION Devices ONLY. In otherwords, for the ORIGINAL KF. If you proceed to use this on your 2nd Generation Device, and you BRICK it, don't complain. You have been warned.

    This thread is also no longer maintained. A new Thread has been opened.

    The new Thread

    MD Moderator XDA

    Hi all, some of you may have seen my utility over in the de-bricking thread. My goal at this point is to try and make lives easier for everyone I can.

    So what I have done is created a script that can be used to handle a lot of common things people may want, and I will continue to add things people request that I think would be easy, and beneficial. I just wanted to make this situation easier for the average person.

    You will see how the tool detects you at the default screen, and can refresh it by hitting 0 at any menu to have it refresh ADB/Fastboot and see what mode the kindle is in.

    Currently the tool does:

    • Automatic elevation to root for tool operations.
    • Full root install.
    • Auto detect current bootmode.
    • Auto Detect ADB/Fastboot Online/Offline.
    • Auto download update.zip from Amazon.
    • Auto download and install TWRP Recovery.
    • Auto download and install CWM Recovery.
    • Auto download and install FFF Bootloader.
    • Manage current bootmodes.
    • Manage Read/Write.
    • Install GoogleApps/Market/GoLauncherEX.
    • Lock/Unlock the Wallpaper from being changed.

    Currently the tool comes packaged with the drivers required to operate ADB and Fastboot.

    Please note: If your device can't be seen in fastboot mode, please make sure to install the drivers packaged with this, as it will show up afterwards. You can use the install_drivers.bat with the device plugged in for this.

    Usage should be straight forward for the tool. If you are having issues with something, this tool has a good chance of getting you back on track. This issue was found and fixed using this post: Click me Over at Rootzwiki.

    I make no claim that this tool is perfect, but I certainly will do my best to support it as long as people like it.

    Here are some screen-shots of it:

    Full revert based off method from Clavin, "tweaked" by Vashypooh.
    Full credit of TWRP goes to Team Win for releasing an awesome tool! Good job guys.
    I checked with Dees_Troy prior to integrating TWRP install into the tool, and he was alright with it. If this changes, it will be changed or completely removed per their request.

    Known Tricks

    • If you end up stuck at the yellow triangle, in KF Utility select Boot Normal, wait for it to say <waiting for device> and then press and hold the power button 20 seconds until the fire turns off, then when its off turn it back on. This sometimes happens, I have yet to find a clean solution :(
    • If you end up stuck with a yellow triangle, do not EVER unplug it. Leave it plugged in. Check the windows drivers to make sure it isnt showing as "kindle" again. Fastboot is different and can cause this.

    you sir are incredible good job :)

    I love the dev work that the kindle is getting. This thing will be 100% unlocked in no time with lots of great custom roms and kernels :D Makes me really happy as this is my first android device.

    New version of KFU

    I PM'd VashyPooh and he is no longer supporting KFU because he doesn't own a Kindle Fire anymore. So now I will be maintaining this project for now. I am going to make a new thread and release Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.7+. Here is the new thread :) I don't know what should be done with this thread though once it becomes obsolete.

    VashyPooh, thank you for what you've done here you've helped me and thousands of people root, install custom firmware, and de-brick our devices. We really appreciate what you've done for us and all the hard work you've put in to this. :good:

    Also, thank you for letting me update this because now your utility will be able to help even more people. :)
