gray screen after google apps

I had a bit of a problem yesterday with version 4.1.53 yesterday. I have a Kindle Fire HD with the latest firmware version. It is rooted using Qemuroot with Google store running okay.

I ran a full backup successfully. I then proceeded to try and install the Google apps Option 23 (non-factory regular old cable). It seemed to go well except that I got the error message 'SH Can Not Create Nul: Read-Only File System' twice. I entered and left Fastboot just fine. After rebooting I was left with a grey start screen, gray blank icons a really slow unhappy Kindle.

I looked in the mirror and thanked myself for making backup.

Restore went just fine. The Kindle was slow after the restore, but I got normal operation back after stopping every task in Setting>More>Apps and rebooting.

So I am back up and running, but gun shy. What could I have done wrong or what went wrong? I don't want to try anything else without your folks guidance. This was all done in Windows 7 64-bit under an elevated command prompt.

thanks

Kindle Fire HD and 2 First Aide Software - Root And Backup Questions

fs1023 said:
prokennexusa many thanks for your help.

Problem 3 was the issue, I had folder named C:\KFFirstAide32 instead of C:\KFFirstAide so deleted 32 from file name as you suggested and WOW!

fs1023,

Thank you for the details and taking the time to post your thoughts, this is great, it helps me to "fully understand your issue". I can respect your concern, these tablets are not cheap and any thought of loosing it would be frustrating. If you do an Option 21 Root, this uses a non-destructive method to Root the Kindle, so there is no chance of Bricking the Kindle.

The circumstances that usually cause a bricked device are when someone is testing untested Options. All the options in our menu have been fully tested and re-tested for flaws. This is not to say everything is perfect, I am sure someone will find a small flaw and once we are made aware of the flaw, we will fix it in less than 1 hour.

Having said all this, you can safely use Option 21 to Root your Kindle. The key? Pay close attention to the steps, when we say, look at the Kindle for Restore, look at the Kindle and select Restore. Do not worry, this is a fake payload that is used to exploit the Kindle, it is not a real backup file.

If you get stuck or need help, post it here, we will get you Rooted! I promise.

Finally, yes, you need to have Root to successfully do just about every option, including the backup. Again, we use a non-destructive method to Root the Kindle.

Kindle Fire HD and 2 First Aide Software - Setup Error

Random Username said:
Thanks, but I already started the Dropbox download, so please do it for the next version :)
Also, the download speed varies between ca. 20 kB/s and 60 kB/s, so I don't think the ISP is limiting anything. Maybe it's just the distance.

OK, I ran Fix Permissions again and it looks normal now. It says it should take over 15 minutes but it's through almost instantly for me though. This is the output:

And the Holo Launcher installation still doesn't work.

Random Username,

You have an issue with the setup somewhere since everything is failing including options that have been tested to be free of flaws. Let's try to solve your issue.

Please drop to command and enter the following:

Code: 
cd C:\Windows
adb kill-server
adb wait-for-device
adb devices
Please copy and paste the output from the above commands.

Then do:

Code: 
cd C:\KFFirstAide
adb shell su -c "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system" 
adb push fix_permissions.sh /data/local/tmp/fix_permissions.sh 
adb shell su -c "chown 0:0 /data/local/tmp/fix_permissions.sh" 
adb shell su -c "chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/fix_permissions.sh" 
adb shell su -c "./data/local/tmp/fix_permissions.sh" 
adb shell su -c "mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system"

Please copy and paste the output from first 7 commands, once the script runs the output will be too large to post. We just tested the Dropbox speed, it resisted over 80 Mbps Upload and 97 Mbps Download, having said this there is some sort of issue. Dropbox has Mirror servers throughout the world to eliminate or reduce the chance of lag.

BELASCO,

The more I though about this issue, the more it began to make sense, I think I was just too busy to think straight a few hours ago. Now I am running on pure adrenalin. We setup this package to Run As Administrator, so be sure to select Run As Administrator.

You started to describe the problem, I would like a little more details. We know your Path Statement is perfect, check. We know you are running Windows 7, correct? Check, we know you do not have the C:\Windows\System32 path missing, check. We know you do not have the SDK installed, check. You have check the device manager and it should show 4 icons total:

Kindle > Android ADB Interface
Portable Devices > Kindle

Check. You have created a shortcut to the desktop and you will run it from now on "As Administrator", check. What I need a little more details is the "Windows keeps bringing me back to the default path of C:\Windows\System32\" can you give me any more deatils? Do you mean when you exit the software you see C:\Windows\System32\? This should not be happening since the DOS windows should close with our software - I think if we focus our attention here, we will find a solution.

When you create a shortcut to RunMe.bat are you opening up C:\KFFirstAide and finding RunMe.bat, then Right Hand Mouse Click on RunMe.bat and choose Send To - Desktop - Create Shortcut. After you do this there will be a shortcut on the desktop. Next go to the Shortcut and Right Hand Mouse click over the desktop shiortcut select Preoperties. Here is where you will check the box Run As Administrator - leave everything else default. Please do this so you have a new clean shortcut. Then run the software and select Option 23, does it run error free now? Or at least fairly error free? We did make a large number of changes to this install making it more Windows 7 friendly.

If that does not solve your issue, we would like you to run the software like this:

1. Find the Windows Command Prompt icon
2. Bring the mouse to the Command Prompt icon, Right Hand Mose Click "Open As Administrator"
3. When this command prompt opens you should be at C:\Windows\System32
4. Type the following:

Code: 
cd C:\KFFirstAide
5. You should now see C:\KFFirstAide
6. From this point type:

Code: 
RunMe.bat
7. Select Option 23

How does the software run now? Does the install complete? Is the Kindle better now?

After this, I tried the option for the Bravia upgrade. Mid-course, I noted my laptop trying (and failing) to install Kindle drivers. Now I have a Kindle that boots the static Kindle Fire logo...then darkness. Where it stays.

dekor8tor,

When you get the driver installed, please run Option 31 to fix the Permissions, this will bring your Kindle back online.

That option has been used by several other people without trouble, so this will solve your issue. This is why we have Kindle Fire First Aide to recover from a problem. Remember adding software is a risk no matter how perfect the script.

Prerequisites
  • Kindle Fire USB Driver
Please download and extract the usb_driver to the Desktop: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/usb_driver.zip


Step by Step Guide

  1. Connect USB cable to Kindle Fire.
  2. Go to Devices and Printers.
  3. Double click on Kindle.
  4. Go to Hardware tab.
Kindle-Fire-Properties.png



  1. Select Kindle with yellow exclamation mark, then click on Properties.
  2. Go to Details tab.

Kindle-Fire-Properties2.png




  1. At Property, choose Hardware Ids.
  2. That’s Kindle Fire USB hardware Id that we going to use later.
  3. Just leave the property window open.
  4. Go to My Computer.

11. Let’s go back to Kindle property window.
12. Go to General tab.
13. Select Update Driver… then.
14. Select Browse my computer for driver software ~ Locate and install driver software manually.
15. Select Browse…, and select C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver folder.

procter,

If we understand you correctly, you would like the free offers back. No problem, please take this dtcp_apk.apk.zip APK, unzip it, then move it to /system/app using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, then make sure the permissions are User: Read Write Group: Read and Others: Read

To fix Google Play, go to More + Applications, Installed applications, find Google Framework, clear the data, find Google Login Service, clear the Data, find Google Play Store, clear the data then use our tool to reinstall Google Play Store. We do not recommend a manual install, although it is your choice.

If you do an automatic install, follow the steps closely as the install is running, your problem will be solved. We have seen this a number of times when people use our tool to perform manual steps. We can assure you, the problem will disappear if you do an automatic installation. Please make sure you are using Rev 54 to do the installation.

Rev 4.1.54 Change Log:
1. Fixed Permission Denied Problem
2. Changed the timing on Option 21
3. Streamline code - processes at a faster rate of speed
4. Changed Enable OTA to Selective Enable
5. Found double quotes with the build.prop lines, this caused the build.prop edits to fail.
6. Removed the Symbolic Link to Temp after every install
7. Google Apps Bug fixed

Hi Chris,

Tired your method but it did not work. I had Kindle extended setting app installed immediately after I restored my Kindle with your tool and noticed it was set at "turn off lockscreen ads "mode and I couldn't change it. If I toggle it on and it would revert to off after the required reboot. So I uninstalled this app too.

I copied over the app you gave me, changed permission and go to Kindle's own launcher, still no offer tab. Then I went to the folder and installed the app, nothing changed. Reboot it, still not working. I also noticed there was a bat file with the same name as the app and the same size too, so I moved it out leaving only the dchp_apk.apk in system /app. Still not working. I am out of ways now.

A side note, the shop tab in my Kindle launcher seems broken too. If I click it, it won't open the Amazon site but pop error saying can't launch shop. However the amazon mobile app works perfectly fine if clicking from app drawer. Dunno if it's related.

Well, I copied the files from the RunMe package and ran the Fix Permissions option. There was a lot of output, but it only took 15 seconds. Maybe it's because I have an SSD? :D

AmrBanawan,

I just got off the phone with a friend who work with Sony Software Development, we discussed the issue, he says despite the upgrade being small, we should always run the Fix Permissions after, I just added this to the upgrade.

See if you can Run the Fix Permissions now, we changed the script.

********UPDATE*********

1. Added New Code To Check For Temp If Missing Create One
2. Added Fix Permissions to Option 27, 28 and 29

Hi Chris,
I notice you're directing people to install the full Java Development Kit (JDK) instead of just the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Is that correct? Are the Development Tools and Source Code for Java really needed to run KFFirstAide? Additionally, if a user does install the full Development Kit, would that perhaps be installing an extra adb or fastboot command which then gets added to the path and conflicts with the proper running of KFFirstAide?

For reference, the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) downloads are located at http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp .
The directories you're linking to at Oracle are for the full Java Development Kit (JDK).

duahetcaday,

Thank you for the output, that was what I needed to fix it. Please download the RunMebat update, download and save RunMe.zip to your desktop, Unzip it using 7-Zip then copy and paste the RunMe.bat to C:\KFFirstAide - make sure you answer YES to overwriting the file, then inspect the date and time of RunMe.bat it should be 02/24/2013 at 14:41 - if all checks out launch Kindle Fire First Aide then select Option 31 to fix the permissions and anomalies. We upgraded the script in Version 62.

Please post an update after the script fixes your problem. Thanks!

Note: Do not worry we know exactly why the Kindle is running slow and we have the fix!

********UPDATE*********

    way, this took us weeks to perfect, so please respect the code. If you have recommendations, please post them,
    we love to give you the feature that are important to YOU not us.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 1: Using Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer Download Kindle Fire First Aide 4.1.100-Beta:
    KFFirstAide.zip
    Note: Be sure to extract the package to C:\KFFirstAide

    Update Java To The Latest Version here: Java SE Development Kit 7u25
    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 2: Using either 7-Zip or Microsoft Zip, unzip the KFFirstAide100.zip to your C:\ Drive as C:\KFFirstAide

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 3: With your mouse, open the C:\KFFirstAide contents by double mouse clicking the C:\KFFirstAide folder

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 4: Find the RunMe.bat file. Right Hand Mouse click on RunMe.bat, select 'Send to', select Desktop (Create Shortcut). Now press the Left Hand Mouse button to create the Shortcut named RunMe.bat. Temporary disable the Android SDK.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 5: Find the RunMe Shortcut on your desktop, select it by left mouse click over the icon, then while on the icon choose Right Hand mouse click, select Properties.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 6: This will display the RunMe properties. Select the General Tab, change the top name to KF First Aide. Then click on the Shortcut tab, click on Advanced. Check 'Run as Administrator', click OK, then click Apply, then click OK. All windows should be closed.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 7: Double Mouse Click the new Icon named KF First Aide. You may be presented with a security window, just click Yes.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 8: Please click on the Windows Key plus Pause/Break, this will display the Windows System Properties. Next Click on the Advanced Tab and find "Environment Variables". Please click on Environment Variables and find the Path Statement. Carefully add at the end of the Path Statement:

    Code: 
    ;C:\KFFirstAide

    Note: Do Not forget the (;) semi-colon before the C:\KFFirstAide

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 9: That is it! The software is ready. Next we get the Kindle ready to Flash.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 10: Next, go to the Kindle, pull down the status menu, select More+ then select Security, make sure Enable ADB is ON. Last, depress the <- and select Device. Make sure 'Allow Installation of Applications' is On.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 11: Insert the Original USB Cable to the Kindle, please ensure you have a solid connection, this is VERY critical.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 12: Next, make sure the Kindle Fire is Turned Off. Take the other end of the USB Cable and carefully inset it into a free USB Slot on your Computer - be careful to not disconnect the other end.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 13 : The Kindle Fire should automatically turn on and boot regular Bootmode. If the Kindle does not turn on depress the power button until it turns on. Next select Option 15 in the Software. The Kindle will reboot and will now see a screen that says: Fastboot Kindle Fire.

    Note: If Option 15 does not trigger the Kindle to boot into Fastboot, then your Bootloader is damaged. Please send SkOrPn a PM to order a Factory USB Cable.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 14: Place the Kindle on a safe surface so it does not disconnect when running the software.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 15: Launch the KF First Aide software by double mouse clicking on the KF First Aide icon.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 16: You will be presented with a Kindle Fire First Aide Menu, carefully select the operations you would like to perform on the Kindle.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 17: If the option states "Fastboot" you need to leave the Kindle as noted above, this is Fastboot Mode. As the last operation be sure to Wipe the Cache and User Data which is Backup Option 3 in the Menu.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 18: Next, we will disable "Fastboot Mode" and enable ADB on the Kindle Fire. Select Option 10 in the Software Menu, the Kindle will Reboot into Regular Mode.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Step 19: You may now perform the 'ADB Mode' options in the Menu.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Note 1: Remember, after you perform the full Recovery, you are working with a Fresh Copy of the Software. ADB is disabled by default so be sure to Enable ADB under Security and Allow Installation of Programs under the Device Tab.

    Kindle Fire First Aide Note 2: After the complete restore, please be sure to clear the Davlik Cache and the User Data by selecting Backup Option #3. You may also wipe the User Data and Cache by opening a Administrative Command Prompt within the KFFirstAide Folder and enter:

    Code: 
    fastboot -i 0x1949 erase cache
fastboot -i 0x1949 erase userdata 
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

    Kindle Fire First Aide Note 3: The original versions of the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" with a software Versions 8.2.3 or 8.2.4 may find there Kindle Boot-loader loops to a Red Fastboot Screen. If your Kindle is stuck in Fastboot, please follow these steps to recover the Boot-loader: How To Recover Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Bootloader*

    Note: Please be aware of two main options in the Menu - one is Fastboot Mode where you have several Menu Operations that use Fastboot to execute properly and two is ADB Mode where you have several Menu Operations that use ADB to execute properly.

    Backup Option #1 Note: When selecting Backup Option 1 the images will be backed up to the SD Card in a folder named KindleBackup. Please copy this folder to your desktop until we are able to upload it to our secure servers. There will be a restore option in the future that will automatically pull YOUR images for restoration. There is a known Bug in Windows where you will not see the images in the Kindle Internal Drive which can be found in Computer. To overcome this issue, please download and install WiFi File Transfer then open your Web Browser to transfer these Backup files from your Kindle to the PC.

    Backup Option #2 Note: When selecting Backup Option 2 the images are first copied to the Kindle, then they are transfered to your Computer inside a folder named Backup which can be found inside the C:\KFFirstAide folder.

    *Note: After several conference calls with the Amazon Development Team we found Amazon applied a patch to the Bootloader in an effort to lock down the Bootloader, this patch rarely causes the Bootloader to stick or Bootloop, please use the above link to release the Bootloader. We have removed this patch from the boot-prod.img eliminating future issues with recovered HD 8.9" users.

    Krsmqn,

    We thought of you when we were developing this package, It took us over 4 months to perfect. We held back many feature, just wait until we release the Production Version of 4.2.3, it even made us smile:D. As we have said before,
    we are truly honored to be part of the XDA Community and feel blessed to be able to offer this software to XDA Members. This package and version 4.2.3 is fee based elsewhere.

    Step 3: Download Boot Image Number 1 from here (save the image to the KFFirstAide Folder): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/kfhd-8.2.3/Images/boot-prod.img

    Step 4: Download Recovery Image Number 2 from here (save the image to the KFFirstAide Folder): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/kfhd-8.2.3/Images/recovery-prod.img

    Step 5: Open up an Administrative Command Prompt from within the KFFirstAide Folder by opening up the KFFirstAide Folder then press your Right Hand Mouse Key while you are over the KFFirstAide Folder contents, then select Open a command prompt here. You should see something like

    Code: 
    C:\Users\Your Name\KFFirstAide>
    Step 6: Next you would make sure the Kindle Fire is plugged into USB and Turned off, type the following and press enter after the command while the Kindle is off and plugged into USB:

    Code: 
    fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
    Step 6: You will see a Windows Command Prompt that will look like:

    Code: 
    C:\Users\Your Name\KFFirstAide>fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
<waiting for device>
    Step 7: Next Power on the Kindle While you see the above, one the Kindle Boots the Kindle will suddenly reboot back into Fastboot although we have seen this step free the Bootloader, so if the Kindle begins to Boot normally unplug it from USB, if the Kindle boot back to Fastboot red screen proceed to step 8.

    Step 8: While the Kindle is in Fastboot Mode type the following at the Windows Command Prompt:
    Code: 
    fastboot flash recovery recovery-prod.img -i 0x1949
    Code: 
    fastboot erase cache -i 0x1949
fastboot erase userdata -i 0x1949
fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
    Step 9: Leave the Kindle Plugged into USB. Wait for the device to Boot back to Fastboot, if the device boot back to a Fastboot screen with odd vertical line running through it, stop here, the Kindle has begun the recovery phase. If the Kindle begins it recovery, it will react odd and reboot several times, this is normal. Wait 10 to 15 minutes. If the Kindle boot back to Red Fastboot Screen proceed to Step 10.

    Step 10: Leave the Kindle Plugged into USB. Next type the following command:

    Code: 
    fastboot flash boot boot-prod.img -i 0x1949
    Step 11: Next let's do a little house cleaning. The following commands wipe the old Dalvik Cache and User Data which is, in simple, tied to the old Android Operating System. Having said this, when the new OS attempts to retrieve data from these partitions, a content stream of errors occur in the background, causing the Kindle to react VERY slow and at times completely unresponsive. To eliminate this problem we will wipe these partitions before booting the new OS. Please enter the following commands, press enter after each one:

    Code: 
    fastboot erase cache -i 0x1949
fastboot erase userdata -i 0x1949
fastboot reboot -i 0x1949
    Step 12: Unplug from USB. The Kindle HD 8.9" will reboot with an odd Fastboot screen with vertical lines running through it, this is normal, do not interrupt the recovery. Let the Kindle begin it's recovery phase. This may take up to 10 to 15 minutes and the Kindle will reboot several times.

    Step 13: Once the Kindle Stabilizes, please be sure to apply the Amazon OTA Patch before connecting the Kindle to your WiFi, otherwise you will loose Root and Google Play Store which are both installed on the images.

    Step 14: After you applied the patches please wait for the Kindle to rebuild itself, this can take up to a couple of hours. If after 4 hours the Kindle is still reacting slow, perform a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" Factory Reset. This option can be found under the More+ > Device > Restore to Factory Defaults. We find this last step is rarely used.
