[GUIDE] Restoring Your KF to stock from ROMs

JackpotClavin · Dec 6, 2011

Here's how to restore your KF to stock from a custom ROM

make sure you have the stock recovery installed (if you are in CM7 you are)

First, download the latest official update from here -> http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200790620

then download this file -> http://www.mediafire.com/?31sljwzyu0i1nev
and place it on your sdcard
it should be /sdcard/command

rename the amazon update to update.zip (even if it's a .bin file, make sure it is update.zip, NOT update.zip.bin
then, place that file on the sdcard under /sdcard/kindleupdates/
it should be /sdcard/kindleupdates/update.zip

turn off usb mass storage mode
go into the adb shell and type
cd cache
mkdir recovery
cp /sdcard/command /cache/recovery/
idme bootmode 0x5001
reboot

i just went from cm7 to stock and it worked fine

<3 thanks man

This makes me much more inclined to try to CM7; however, I think I will wait for a final version of the ROM. Seems like a lot of good progress is being made. Thanks for posting!

lol stick to stock until the wrinkles are ironed out. i feel like everybody wants in on the alpha builds for all devices until they actually test it out and wanna go back

I think the current CM7 build is pretty soild.
Is it possible to mess around with ROMs in Eclipse or do you need to be running linux?

JackpotClavin · Dec 6, 2011

Never tried using another OS. I believe the easiest OS to set up a build environment is linux (ubuntu primarily)

This is impossible as long as my device is infinitely restarts after logo Kindl Fire ...
Just does not work command adb shell.
This method is useless if the command adb shell is broken.

I don't think it was meant to provide a way out in case something gets messed up, just a way to get back to stock should you want to under normal circumstances.

Sure, it doesn't work, since you jumped the gun and tried to do this on your own without waiting for someone knowledgeable to put out clear instructions.
Any other posts people put up probably won't apply to you because you jacked up your Fire.

Why not seal deal the go for the coup de grace and make a factory cable, that forces it into fastboot etc so you can try and get back into adb.

This is the best post of all time since I broke my Kindlе. I'll try it if it is not repaired at a service center.

Not sure if that's sarcasm. Note: the bulletproof vest goes on before you get shot, not after.

Well, that was the first real piece of advice he got... So I suspect that he might actually be trying to say 'thank you'
