[BACKUP][RECOVERY] Kindle Fire HD and 2 First Aide Software - Google Bug

markbc01 said:
HI CherryPie

1. I have Google calendar installed as a separate app from Play. Based on your question I loaded some events on my MS Outlook account calendar and they synced over to the Google Calendar app perfectly. They were still there after two restarts/reboots.

2. In addition, both my Google and Outlook events sync with my KFTT 7" Google Calendar --and with the native Amazon Calendar app-- without issue for me.

3. I have both Gmail and Outlook listed in the My Accounts section as an account to sync. (I also have Yahoo listed, but Android does not sync Yahoo calendar natively now, I needed a separate app for that).

4. Actually, I usually rely on use Business Calendar, which I think is more flexible and responsive calendar app.

Sorry I can't provide more information. However, it appears that both calendar apps will display multiple accounts, although I am not sure about multiple Google accounts. The Google Contacts transfer does seem to be a one time thing ;-(

Good Luck!

Markbc01

markbc01,

There is a known Bug with the Google Calendar if you attempt to use our software to install the apps. This is a Google Bug, not KFFA Bug. Just in case another person runs into the issue, here is the fix:

1) Using ES File Explorer, navigate to /data/apps find Calendar.apk - delete it
2) Open Google Play Store, search for Google Calendar
3) Install Google Calendar from Google play store

That is it.

[BACKUP][RECOVERY] Kindle Fire HD and 2 First Aide Software - Dropbox Outage

amirphoto said:
so after so many reading I ended-up with soldering and making a factory cable.

I'm trying to restore my kindle via first aide option 3
my new problem is our local internet connection sucks (it's slow and has so many disconnections in an hour)

I repeatedly get boot.img and recovery.img successfully and suck at system.img.

I wish you could show me a way to download system.img by a download manager and force recovery option 3 to use it instead of downloading it realtime.

if you can teach me doing this, please give me the address of file too.

thank you nice guys for your nice utility and your nice help.

amirphoto,

We had a Dropbox outage that caused several people to have the exact same issue. We had the Dropbox images restored last week, so everything should be back online. Sorry for any inconvenience this caused you.

Do you have any website development skills? The reason I ask, is we have 3 sites to fill data.

Hi amirphoto,

The best answer is likely to be by Prokennexusa, look for his reply in the next couple of days. However, he is moving offices today and might not be able to offer an answer for a day or so.

For now, here are the direct links to the three files --I know you already have the boot and recovery, but here is system image and the other two as well. You actually HAVE the locations for the direct links yourself --if you looked inside of the batch file "runme.bat" you can see where the batch file calls the files from a remote site --that's where you need to go!

The batch file also provides you with some other important information. If you are forced to manually do the operations the batch file will show you the commands and how to type them -- copy their example!

You already have the "factory cable" now to set your Kindle Fire HD 7" into the Fastboot mode (plug the cable in and turn on the kindle, maybe you don't even have to turn it on!)

So, now you might (1) MANUALLY DOWNLOAD THE FILES AND THEN
(2) MANUALLY RUN THE COMMANDS FOR LOADING EACH OF THE FILES.

It is important to note that these files are for the KINDLE FIRE HD 7" if you use them on any other model it will brick those models --so don't use it on an KF HD 8.9 or a KF2 or an old KF; please only use it on a KFTT Kindle Fire HD 7 inch screen.

Finaly note --even though you have downloaded the files, if you try to run the batch file, it will STILL try to download the files --The batch file (unless it has been changed) does not test for the presence of the files, always just goes ahead and tries to download them ;-( That is why I recommend a manual install. . .

Good Luck!
&

THANK YOU TO PROKENNEXUSA FOR PREPARING THESE GREAT FILES . . .AND TO AmrBanawan FOR PROVIDING A HANDY LINK TO THEM (without me having to open the batch file in a vmware window!)

Here are the file locations: GOOD LUCK!

System Image

markbc01,

He had experienced the Dropbox outage. Anyone who had the system image hanging was caught in the outage.

Hello! I was installing TWRP on my KFHD 7.3 when something happened, it said it was successful, and now my KFHD is stuck on a red screen! How can I fix this, as I a m very scared. Thank you. I was using option 39 BTW.
EDIT: Please help me, I am very scared, and i cant boot this into fastboot with KF First Aide so I think my bootloader is damaged even though i used the right tool. PLEASE HELP ME! I am very scared.

[BACKUP][RECOVERY] Kindle Fire HD and 2 First Aide Software - Calendars

CheriePie said:
Thanks for your input Mark! At least I now know that what I'm trying to accomplish should be possible without it continually losing track of which calendars should be syncing. Let me ask you a few questions then to determine how our setups might be different, if at all. (except for the outlook thing of course.)

When you launch Google Calendar, and go to Settings, is your account listed twice (on the left side menu), or just once? It seems that when I put my Google account info into the Amazon/Kindle settings as well, I wind up with 2 entries for my account there. It's not an issue per se, though I'd prefer not to have it synchronizing to two different connectors, thereby using up more battery, etc.

Do you have the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk (installed as part of Google Apps) in your /system/app directory?

Did you convert your Google Calendar to a system app or move it to the /system/app directory after installing it from the Play Store? Or is it still running in it's default configuration out of the data directory?

I may have worded my comment about multiple calendars incorrectly in my original message. It seems the native Kindle calendar app can indeed see multiple calendars in your account, but not any shared network ones (like my dance troupe's calendar for example). Once I set up everything on the Google side of things, then the shared network calendars show up and I can choose to sync them or not from within Google Calendar. (Those settings then convert over to the Kindle Calendar app too.)

Anyhoo, I've tweaked a few more things based on your reply and hopefully tomorrow I'll find that all my synced calendars are still showing up. So far it seems that inputting my Google account in both places is necessary, even if it creates duplicate entries, in the magic behind keeping the calendar syncing intact. Thanks again for your input.

CheriePie,

I believe Google Calendar was designed to run as a system app although I have heard of people running Google Calendar as a data app with no issues. I suspect the issue that may arise is when you go to make changes to the sync settings, I do not believe you would be able to make any changes since the AccountAndSyncSettings.apk runs as a system application. The only reason I can think that you would what to run the Calendar as a data app is to save drive space, correct?

Just in case you needed it I attached the latest copy of each to this response, although I would recommend downloading each app from Google then copy from /data/app to /system/app

I am sure you have this resolved by now, if not let me know.

Ticket #705578

Debbie Lewis,

Thank you for posting a ticket here, hopefully this helps everyone to receive faster service. So if I understand you correctly, you Rooted the Kindle, left it on one night, now it is stuck in a Bootloop, correct? Hmmm, this is an odd one. Let's get some clarification first so I know what commands to have you do. Are you running the stock Bootloader, I am going to assume you are running stock Bootloader and recovery.

Let's see if we can break the Bootloop, please do the following:

1) Press and hold the Power button for >=60 seconds.
2) Plug the Kindle into the charger, let it charge overnight.
3) If the Kindle attempts to boot, press and hold the power button
4) Let the Kindle charge overnight
5) Next day plug the Kindle into your PC's USB, make sure the Kindle remains OFF
6) Enter this command at a DOS Prompt:

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

7) When you see <waiting for device> turn the Kindle ON
8) The Kindle will boot into Fastboot
9) Next type:

fastboot -i 0x1949 -w
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

10) This will wipe the Kindle Data and Cache partition effectively resetting the Kindle
11) If this does not work, reply and we will have you take additional steps.

Toyotech353 said:
Has anyone had a problem with FirstAide and antivirus? I rooted my fire HD 8.9 with FirstAide with no problem. Backed up with no problem. When I was installing Holo HD launcher my AVG antivirus stopped FirstAide before last reboot and removed the run me from FirstAide even though I told it to allow it. I quickly reinstalled run me and ran it again with no problems. I turned off the AVG antivirus and used #23 to install google and even though AVG was off it still stopped it again. I had to reinstall FirstAide from start to get it working again. Said the threat was cmd.exe.

Toyotech353,

I have not heard of this issue but we can see why this is happening. When we issue a command it is done at the base OS level, the same place viri tries to execute. What you can do is EXCLUDE cmd.exe from the scanning process when you are running our software , although I would really recommend you DISABLE AVG while using our software. We posted this comment to our Knowledgeable.

I flashed the wrong bootloader, a not power, no led and screen is black u.u helpme pls

sergioagilp,

Unfortunately you and several other people have done the exact same thing. We are in the middle of completely separating each package so we will have Kindle Fire First Aide for:

1) Kindle Fire 2
2) Kindle Fire HD 7"
3) Kindle Fire HD 8.9"

This should eliminate the potential mistakes. You are Bricked, try to do the following:

1) Hold the power Button for 60 seconds
2) Plug the Kindle into the Factory USB Cable
3) If the Kindle will now boot into Fastboot
4) Launch Kindle Fire First Aide
5) Select the correct restore and restore the Kindle

That is it!
If you do not have a Factory USB cable let me know, we will get you one.

I'm not sure that option 39 is up to date with 7.3.0. You may want to be patient.
