[Q]Kindle Fire stuck in twrp

18lo · Nov 21, 2013

I have been searching threads left and right for about 40 hours in total looking for answers

. I have tried everything. The problem is: I am stuck in twrp with no os, no previously saved roms, and no way to load files onto my kindle.

If I could either of these two to work, I would be in business.
A) When i try to use 'adb sideload' it gives me an error. If I could sideload the file I'd be okay.

B) When i plug my kindle into my pc, I can find it in device manager, but even when i mount it it wont show up as a storage device

Extra info: a factory fastboot cable will be at my disposal shortly. i am temperately tech-savy

EDIT

My new problem, whenever i try to flash any rom i get the following error:
installing ' /sdcard/rom.zip'...
checking for MD5 file...
skipping MD5 check: no file found
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")=="blaze_tablet" || getprop(ro.build.product") == "blaze_tablet" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "tate" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tate"
E:Error executing updater binary in zip ' /sdcard/rom.zip'
Error flashing zip ' /sdcard/rom.zip'
error flashing zip ' /sdcard/rom.zip'

PLEASE HELP

I found out that old adb versions dont support adb sideload. Also look at Stunts thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2459498

Also found this

Wiped /sdcard, can't reboot from recovery: You thought you had the ROM file on the sdcard, but you didn't, and wiped everything, so without a ROM image, you can't boot into system.

Solution: Put the ROM file where your ADB binary is (usually inside platform-tools folder in Android SDK directory) and rename it rom.zip. On the device, boot into TWRP, select Advanced, then ADB Sideload. Connect device to PC. From here, run "adb" and hit Enter to check for your binary version, if it's anything lower than 1.0.3.0, you need to update the binaries by re-installing the latest Android SDK. Once the device is in sideloading mode and is connected to the PC, type "adb sideload rom.zip" and hit Enter. Now you'll find the ROM on the sdcard, flash, and you're done."

then when i tried a kindle os i got a slightly different error. im confused, is it something wrong with the file?

What twrp version are you using

18lo · Nov 21, 2013

im not sure

2.6.0.0

south956 · Nov 21, 2013

Try 2.6.3.1
Also if anything you might have to system restore everything, get KFFAide and twrp should allow you to boot into fastboot to restore back to 7.2.3 stock os. You will only need regular usb cable.

Also you nesd to get a higher adb version to fully use adb sideload and maybe higher twrp too.

okay, how should i install it

Have you inspected the zip? Not long ago when goo.img was updating their servers, zips looked like they were downloading but it was just a mere shell.

As suggested, you will want to update TWRP. Can you show me where and which file you're using? Cm has a dynamite 4.3 JB 10.2 for the KFHD7 as well.

Why not re-download the ROM and see if that helps. Try using the crackflasher mirror offered in Hascodes CM threads. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2388352 use mirror 2. Here is current TWRP thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

Well gee, looks like it says on the tutorial that it's for an 8.9. I'm guessing no. Here, let me search for you http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2388341 I suggest you read up and learn some things before you ruin your Kindle. Oh, the search engine works great to.
