AndroidTongas,

The more you can provide the better, so screen shots and photos are preferred if possible.

When you run the options, can you post a screen shot so we can polish the code some more? We know the code runs without causing trouble, what we need now is different users output (screen shot) since everyone’s setup is different and the output may vary as the desktops change.

How To Take a screen shot

Ever see something on your screen that you’d like to email or save for later? With Microsoft Windows XP, you can take a screen shot and capture an exact image of what’s on the screen.
To take a screen shot and save it as a picture


  1. Click the window you want to capture. Press Alt+Print Screen by holding down the Alt key and then pressing the Print Screen key. The Print Screen key is near the upper-right corner of your keyboard. (Depending on the type of keyboard you have, the exact key names on your keyboard may vary slightly.)
    Note
    • You can take a screen shot of your entire desktop rather than just a single window by pressing the Print Screen key without holding down the Alt key.
  2. Click Start, click Accessories, and then click Paint.
  3. In the Paint window, click Edit, and then click Paste.
  4. When the image appears in the Paint window, click File, and then click Save As.
  5. In the Save As dialogue box, in the File name box, type a name for the screen shot, and then click Save.
You can now print or email the saved screen shot just like you would any other picture.

Hey Chris,

I tested option 28 today, There seems to be 3 files that are place inside the wrong directory causing their transfer to fail

C:\KFFirstAide\bsystem\lib\libmbe.so
C:\KFFirstAide\bsystem\lib\libmbe_paramselector.so
C:\KFFirstAide\bsystem\lib\libswiqisettinhelper.so


These files should be placed under

C:\KFFirstAide\bsystem\system\lib because the tool is coded to copy them from this location


Anyway, i placed them inside the correct folder and tried again, worked perfectly



These 2 screenshots are before and after fixing

fix_permissions.sh scripts works fine so i did not post it's screenshots !

hpmaxim,

Let's see if we can not get you fixed. First download the update, we made some changes to help people who were having trouble Rooting the Kindle. Here is some of the key points, maybe they will help you break though your frustration. OK, first:

1. Always use Option 21 to Root the Kindle
2. When you see the "Restore" it is important to note if the software appears to be hanging. The software should take no longer than 20 seconds to reboot the Kindle after you press on "Restore". If the Kindle does not reboot after 20 seconds from the time you depressed "Restore" then move to step 3.
3. On the Kindle, leaving it plugged into USB, navigate to More + Security. Toggle Enable ADB OFF and back ON. This should allow the software to continue.

You are correct, our software is absolutely useless without Root, so you must first Root before you can do anything else.

When you run Option 21, please take a screen shot with any issues. Screen shots speak louder than words. Although I know what was hanging you up, it was ADB freezing, follow Step 3 everytime ADB Freezes up.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have updated to your last release and the results are unchanged. The Restore actually seems to work great, there is no "locking up." After the restore occurs and it reboots the background is entirely black and everything is sluggish but as the procedure finishes it returns to normal. I'm using Win 7x64 and the Print Screen doesn't seem to be working but the first hint of things going really wrong is:

****************************************************

Problems with root

Hello,

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong with your method. This is the second time I have tried to root my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with Kindle Fire First Aide tool and for the second time it causes my Kindle screen to look distorted (the unlock button looks choppy and it's on a black blank screen) and run very sluggish. The first time I factory restored it and it went back to normal. This time I can't do anything. Some help please.

Thanks.

other1,

I prefer Task Manager by Houmiak he has one of the few Task managers that displys the actual per app CPU load. We use his app with Battery Stats Pro, they both are beautiful packages although the app Persano just pointed out looks quite solid as well. So many chooses so little time...........

***TRIMMED***

Chris & the rest of the XDA Developers crew,
I am very anxious to use this and many other apps yet I am still down.
It started with a failed root, scrolling dots up the screen and now nothing.
I am hoping my brand new Kindle Fire HD 8.9 is salvageable.

I'm running a Windows machine and the device isn't showing up in Device Manager any longer.
I am considering loading some Linux OS on an extra laptop to see if that machine recognizes the Kindle.
I am not sure that is the answer but I am willing to do whatever to get this resolved.
That being said, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Like I said before, I am amazed at the dedication of everyone on this forum.
Thanks to all who actively help others, it's what makes the world a better place!

Also, my condolences to Chris and his family...

Infobits,

Google Earth is running beautifully on our internal Kindle Fire HD 7, so I do not know why it is not working well on your Kindle. Have you made any changes to the DPI setting?

To get the Amazon Shop tab to work download the attached file and move it to the Kindle fire System directory - be sure to inspect/change the permissions & ownership.

Reboot.

Chris, sorry to hear about your family member loss. It's the crappy part of life we all have to go through I know.
Anyway, glad to see you are back.
I already have that MarketIntentProxy.apk in the /system/app directory and just for the heck of it, replaced it with your download version. Still the "Shop" tab on the launcher fails to launch Shop. So that is not the problem. I don't know what is interfering with causing it to fail to launch Shop, but it would be nice if someone can get to the bottom of this.

As for Google Earth not working, I already posted a solution answer to it. It was discovered that the latest updated version(s) of Google Earth no longer works on the Kindles. Only the older version will work properly. So Google must have added code to disable it for the Kindle... (I think you call it knocking out your competition, so that the Nexus pure Android systems have an advantage. huh?). Google Sky Map also does not work on the Kindle HD. sad.

TWRP Install For All Devices

AndroidTongas,

OK, we need to head in a different direction.

Let's first see what is going on with the device, so answer the questions regarding the Windows Device Manager and we will get you back online. Also, if you can take a shot of the device as it is booting that would be helpful.

Revision 71 Change Log:
1. Option 21 Timing Changed
2. TWRP Install For All Devices
3. Recovery Option
4. Minor Errors Cleaned Up

Hmmmm, after running your last 5 updates I finally ran into a snag. A big Kindlfire logo sitting on my screen laughing at me! Have run just about every option on 3.1.71 without an issue everythink ran just fine. Decided that I really wanted TWRP on the system since I have it on my wife's and my son's kindles running JB without issues. Mine is an 8.9. Well, when it came time to boot up. stuck in fastboot. I suppose I could be wrong but, I am sure I continued pressing n until 8.9 came up. Any suggestions woud be appreciated

Glad to see you are back and with a new update Chris. Thanks for all your help and I look forward to maybe using it. I am still toying with the idea of using the software but still scared of it all going pear shaped even though I now have a "factory cable".

fs1023,

The software has been thoroughly tested, so you can place any fears of damage a side. After we had the problem with the audio upgrade, I vowed to never post a release until the option was thoroughly tested. Download the latest version and start small, install the Google Play Store even if you already have it. Then tests everything, then try another upgrade, etc.

We just had a user, about 30 posts behind this one, who installed every upgrade, they posted a "thank you" to us, letting us know how happy they were with there Kindle now that they have all this new software. So this user proved to us, this package is now solid. We have placed several thousand hours of work into the package so far, so it better be stable!

Now what we are working on is reducing the number of erroneous errors during each procedure, we need more screen shots to accomplish this new task. When you do decide to use the software, please take a screen shot after each option so we can work on eliminating the output errors.

fs1023,

We really need a screen shot, the copy output is truncated when you paste it into XDA's site. We give simple instructions below.

You are getting a number of "can't find 'suchecker.apk' to install" errors. This is caused by a few possible issues. One, you are missing the Windows Environment Variable, please see the first page in this thread, we give instructions for setup. Two, you accidently extracted the package directly to C:\ so a folder was created named C:\KFFirstAide32 or C:\KFFirstAide64, please remove the number on the end so all you have is C:\KFFirstAide. Three, you accidently created a second folder inside of C:\KFFirstAide named KFFirstAide, KFFirstAide32, or KFFirstAide64. Please copy and paste the entire content of the files and folders inside of the second folder and paste it to the base folder C:\KFFirstAide. Four, you have the SDK installed, please remove the SDK.

Once you have cleared up the possible issues, the errors regarding "The system cannot find the file specified." will disappear and the output will be for the most part, error free.

Finally, looking at the part that we can read, we show the software successfully rooted your Kindle. The part that proved you had Root was the terminal window of "root@android:/ #", do you see the "#" symbol? This translates to Root. Good work, now launch SuperSU found inside of the Kindle Fire "Apps" tab, be sure you are on the "device" and not the cloud when you look for the SuperSU program. Once you find it, open and close SuperSU to initialize it.

When you run the options, can you post a screen shot so we can polish the code some more? We know the code runs without causing trouble, what we need now is different users output (screen shot) since everyone’s setup is different and the output may vary as the desktops change.

How To Take a screen shot

Ever see something on your screen that you’d like to email or save for later? With Microsoft Windows XP, you can take a screen shot and capture an exact image of what’s on the screen.
To take a screen shot and save it as a picture


  1. Click the window you want to capture. Press Alt+Print Screen by holding down the Alt key and then pressing the Print Screen key. The Print Screen key is near the upper-right corner of your keyboard. (Depending on the type of keyboard you have, the exact key names on your keyboard may vary slightly.)
    Note
    • You can take a screen shot of your entire desktop rather than just a single window by pressing the Print Screen key without holding down the Alt key.
  2. Click Start, click Accessories, and then click Paint.
  3. In the Paint window, click Edit, and then click Paste.
  4. When the image appears in the Paint window, click File, and then click Save As.
  5. In the Save As dialogue box, in the File name box, type a name for the screen shot, and then click Save.
You can now print or email the saved screen shot just like you would any other picture.

Thanks for the offer, but mailing me a cable would either cost you a small fortune, or take forever - I'm in Central Asia! I'm organizing getting my factory cable (back in Britain, I didn't think to order one before I left after Christmas) posted to France, where someone in the same city as me right now is travelling to soon, then she'll bring it back with her, when she returns to where I live. A few more weeks to wait, but getting one couriered over was going to cost ~$90!

LoudlyWhispering ,

That is fine, just wanted to offer since we ship things to Asia all the time. We ship cables via USPS Priority, the last one we shipped cost the customer $18 USD.

Let me know if you change your mind, we would be happy to ship one out on Monday.

Chris

I have checked all file names, variables etc and they are all as you suggest. Tried KindleFirste Aide 21 again and got same output messages as previous attempt.

A couple of points Chris

1. I now have superuser apk in file manager. Do I just install app now whilst Kindle is disconnected from PC?
2. How do I uninstall SDK? This does not show up in widows> control panel> programs> uninstall

If u install kinology don't install sony xloud until i test, I got a really bad brick 2 days ago,It's either AwesomeBeats or Kinology that is not compatible with Sony Xloud, I dont know which yet so i guess i'll have to brick my device one more time to find out! :D

Oh!!! Thanks for the tips!! How do I know if I installed it (Sony Xloud)? =)

Enviado desde mi KFTT usando Tapatalk 2

It doesn't matter if u have installed it, Flashing kinology (or any other system image) will remove any modifications you made to the device, So go ahead and flash kinology, But after you do, Don't install xloud until i've made sure it is safe to do so.

Good Luck!

    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 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.
