Ok so I finally procured a fastboot cable. What is the procedure for booting into fastboot now? I was under the impression it would just happen when I plugged in but it hasn't

If the Kindle is powered off and you plug the fastboot cord in and the tablet does not energize and the screen say fastboot, then there is a problem with your fastboot cord or you have a hard brick.

so i made a system, boot, and recovery img. i bricked my kindle hd 8.9. entered fastboot and put all 3 imgs back on. when it rebooted it was if i had a brand new out of the box kindle. had to set every thing up again. all my apps were gone except super user. i checked to see if i still had root. had to download a different root checker since the one i had was gone. i still have root. now did i miss some thing since i did a backup of all 3 files and unbricked it with those 3 files and still lost all my apps and what not. i did make another img call boot0block.img. does that one need to go back on in order to get all my app data back? or should i cut my loses and just continue on with puting twrp and 2nd bootloader on to the kindle? i just know my son is going to be upset that all his games are gone. thanks.

Once application data is wiped in the way that you did it`s irrecoverable unless perhaps you have a twrp backup with this app data in it. 2nd bootloader and twrp are required to restore this data if in fact such a backup still exists. Very likely unless you backed up such details to your pc all is lost.

Hi.
When I open the tool and select option, the cmd window stops responding. I've rebooted my computer many times, but still the same result. Nothing shows up in the window apart from the menu and the option I selected.

8.1.4 goes to a file that looks download-able. If you can still boot into TWRP then you can just download the ROM you want to flash, boot into TWRP and adb sideload it. Beats flashing to factory.

I am unable to boot into TWRP anymore I flashed a bootloader and recovery listed there without doing the flash ... bassicaly i was unable to flash CWM and was looping back into TWRP so i went into fast-boot flashed those. now i cannot get into TWRP or Fastboot // i haven't been able to load the device and now i am only seeing the device for 3 seconds on device manager as it loads up then boot loops twice then goes to stock recovery in which it does nothing. just reload and then goes back into 2 bootloops then recover again.

So im stuck I need to recover this device. I did not take backups like a nub and flashed those damb bootloaders and recovery..

The main thing is i was on 8.2.8 and should of downgraded to 8.1.4 is what i have been reading to convert the KF to an android OS.

Any help would be great. thanks again for the quick reply!

EDIT: When i tried to flash CWM's latest version on KF 8.9 HD forums it kept failing. did not work.

Yea, your gonna have to update that driver in device manager very quick. If your wanting to go custom ROM then I'd just follow Hashcode tutorial. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175

I don't have those images but I think Hashcode has them on his goo profile. You have to have a fastboot cord to get into the bootloader and thats the only way to put a 2nd bootloader/custom ROM/TWRP on Kindles. This also includes a factory reset. You can not do this through ADB.

is the stock cable not fastboot?

Thanks for your help. I was looking for that img no luck however so still stumped on that one. Do u have a link im sure others would love it too.

Sorry, you have an 8.9 and thus don't need a fastboot cord. Just use your standard USB cord. You still must set the environment so watch the video I linked. You can copy/paste your path so I can see if it looks right. Here are the commands from Hashcodes tutorial.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128175

Q: How do I know if my fastboot works?
A: With the Kindle powered down, type the following command into a cmd/terminal window on your PC (should return with: < waiting for device> ):
fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

Then connect USB to the Kindle and reboot. It *SHOULD* show a Fastboot screen and your terminal window should show something like:
product: Jem-PVT-Prod-04

Type this to reboot out of fastboot mode:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

I know this seems like an intimidating ordeal all these commands and what not. I'll keep an eye out and answer questions you may have. It's a great feeling to restore with commands manually for the first time (if this is your first time.)

Great thanks for your help i will try this as soon as I am off work.

Few more questions while I have you here once I get my kindle to fire back up how do i go about making sure its on the right OS for me to convert to Android?

WIll i have to reroot? setup recovery? Why was CM not able to load once i had it booted in twrp.. (also it would not load the OS after the fastboot cmds in the whole process)

just trying to figure out were i went wrong so i dont make this mistake again and spend hours pulling my hair out. lol

I hate the kindle OS and only reason i got it was because i wanted to put android on it and the g/f love the thing at first site?

again thank you so much for your help.. Gotta love this xda community! 100% support!

Anything you do to your tablet must be for a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" with will be refereed to it's code name "Jem." The tutorial I listed is just to get a 2nd bootloader with TWRP recovery on your tablet. Then you decide which ROM is best for you. Forum rules specify not to "recommend" as it can cause issues. So I always say what I used was CyanogenMod (CM) and Paranoid Android and actually I've tested about all of them. Hashcodes KitKat 4.4 is stable and located here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2543481 and the list for all 8.9 Jem ROM's are here http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hd/8-9-development read the first couple and last couple pages (at least) to get a grasp of any possible issues with the ROM.

WIll i have to reroot?

No

setup recovery?

That tutorial will show how to install TWRP again

Why was CM not able to load once i had it booted in twrp..

I don't know, it should have. Things can go wrong when modding.

I just remembered that there is another recovery tool kit that has worked great. Kindle Fire FirstAide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096888 I used that one a lot. You would restore to factory, root and then you could use the tutorial above to get TWRP and second bootloader. In fact I would recommend that since you already modded it once. The KFFA tool will have the images.You will see once you get started.

Ya so i got that program and im having issue with is whenever i try to EXE a CMD it always says "Directory Path not found" before it asks y/n for whatever i was trying to do. was strange so i was not able to use any features on that as my kindle did not respond to "rooting" with that.

Is there a certin folder i should put this so it will work? I put it right on my c:\(folder name)

Dose the version of my stock kindle fire matter when it comes to choosing a custom android rom

Thanks

This fixed my problem! Thank you so much. I however can never get mount to work in TWRP (on any device lol) so i used ADB PUSH cmd to the /SDCARD/ ... Pushed both cm and gapps and then followed from the step 5 fastboot cmds to install bootloader and recovery ... then in twrp installled!

Thanks again for all your help with getting my device to fastboot!

so say I am unable to get into fastboot at all on my kindle, not by cmd or otherwise, what would my steps be?

captainreynolds · Apr 14, 2014

Hey, I am in the process of restoring my kindle to stock, and have flashed the system.img and the recover/boot images from the OP. However, when I try to boot, a screen shows up and says "Your Kindle doesn't seem to boot properly - resetting it to factory default might fix the issue."

It gives me the option to reboot normally, or factory reset. Neither of these options makes the screen go away. I can access fastboot but rebooting options there and reflashing the images has not helped.

Any ideas as to how I can fix this problem?
