@hashcode do you plan on getting a kf2 to continue rom development on this device?

restlessrob · Jan 16, 2013

the person you should be asking is me.
I am the one who made him realize how easy this was.
If you want this, come to freenode irc #kf2-dev
bring a linux distro with adb and fastboot already setup and adb working on a rooted kf2.

Many thanks again to all involved, I could go through the whole process successfully.
All didn't go exactly as announced (no answer to "fastboot devices", etc.), but there is far enough info to do the job.

Well is anyone going to develop this ROM further?

An EIGHT FOOT Kindle Fire HD?! Wow. That is not very convenient to carry around, but can you imagine the battery life?

Powerpoint45 is working on a rom right now, He had to fix a swap mount issue, and he should test it before the night is out.

Using this rom, how do people set the volume when listening to Google Music, for example?

Redownload recovery.img and reflash it. Probably bad download or compair md5

These instructions are just a tad over my head. I have Ubuntu dual booted on my laptop, but have never really done much with it.

Usually I can figure out things well enough, but not currently. Maybe I just need to boot into ubuntu and start looking for things that are said in this thread...

Eh, for tonight I will just attempt rooting. (I actually have a WP7 phone, with a custom 7.8 rom (which really inst released yet from MS for some odd reason), so its not like I am inept to these things, im just not a linux user)

these are very similar, I assume you are both using windows. @mindmajick, if you try to pull the block images from windows, you get the error that @MisterSir69 got.
To circumnavigate this, go ahead and use

Code:

adb shell su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img' adb shell su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img' adb shell su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img' adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img /some freaking directory you remember adb pull /sdcard/boot.img /some freaking directory you remember adb pull /sdcard/system.img /some freaking directory you remember

that should eliminate the errors.. and that is how you do that part on windows. the other part is creating the stack, it needs to either be given to a windows user, or the user has to boot into linux or mac to make it.

So if we are on windows 7 we should be using these commands to perform the backup? Should it be entered as one line or 6 different lines?

Very true. Especially since i haven't flashed this yet

Bug Report!

I think I entered a state of deep sleep or something similar as I have never had deep sleep happen to me. I set my device on my bed after just using it. My friend picked it up and asked how to turn it on, I said the power button, he informed me it didn't work, sure enough, nothing. Pressed it a bunch, nope, Held it down, still nothing. I plugged it in to the wall even though it had 65% battery when I last used it, still nothing. Pressed the button, held it, nothing while plugged in. After that I set it down, went on my PC, showed him stuff. Looked at the kindle, unplugged it, replugged it in, held the power, anddd it booted up fine. still had 65% battery about on it. Not sure what it was but....may want to watch out for it?

You can absolutely just stop after installing twrp. The freedom boot.img is based off of the stock kernel, and can boot stock. Twrp is never limited in this. you keep the same twrp throughout unless Hashcode releases another one.

If you can join us in irc, I'm walking some users through the process freenode.net #kf2-dev
It's actually quite easy.

Maybe another night (or later tonight). I still need to make my fast boot cable. But I have successfully rooted my kf2 now.

I can walk you through it with out a cable, as I still don't have mine. I have successfully gotten two other people on cm without a cable.
