[recovery] twrp2 install on windows

---

okay, this is to try to simplify the install for most windows users...

for starters get over to the teamwin website and download the official rc0 which comes with firefirefire bootloader so you can easily get into recovery with our 1 power button.

after youve downloaded the recovery file, put this file in the directory that your adb and fastboot is in, connect your device and open a cmd window

cd to the directory adb and fastboot is in, for me i typed

cd c:\sdk_tools (enter)

c:\sdk_tools becomes the directory, so now

adb shell (enter)

su (enter)

idme bootmode 4002 (enter)

so now your bootmode is set. now type in:

exit (enter)

exit (enter)

adb reboot (enter)

it should reboot to the splash screen of kindle fire in fastboot mode, now type in

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img (enter)

it should install, show team wins image, then reboot to the yellow triangle of firefirefire...

this is okay. from here, on windows, my computer did NOT read the device anymore and it was stuck in fastboot and wouldn't take commands. this issue is related to the drivers for some reason... what i did was reboot my pc, reconnected my device and it came up as a unknown device. this is okay!

go to devices and right click the one with an xclimation mark and click update drivers. choose manually and then choose out of available drivers. you need to select android phone or something android related depending on what drivers you had installed previously. i chose my asus android device since thats what i had when i first got adb working. after u choose android device choose adb generic and it should install fine.

after this get back in ur cmd prompt, cd to the proper directory and type this in

fastboot devices (enter)

u should get a listed device.

from here you can then change bootmode to properly reboot ur device

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000 (enter)

fastboot reboot (enter)...

should be done! enjoy!

After the fastboot of the img file, I also had it just stick. I didn't have to reboot the PC though, I just reinstalled the device. As soon as the device was installed (I still had the cmd box open), it output:

        downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY [  3.053s]
                       booting... OKAY [  0.013s]
finished. total time: 3.085s

and finished that process. The screen did some stuff, and then sat at a Reboot button... I finished the steps without any issues.

SUCCESS!!!

I've used the app Quick Boot a couple times now to go into Recovery Works great.

when using apps to boot to recovery, can u get out of recovery without issue? someone said it gets stuck in the wrong bootmode?

I just tell TWRP to reboot and don't touch anything... it ends up booting into the OS normally (takes a while).

Yep, if you do everything right and have FFF and TWRP installed correctly, you should be able to flip between ROMS without too much trouble, and without have to use fastboot again.

Hmm...while attempting to reinstall the drivers for the Fire, I'm at a road block.

I see the kindle in device manager, and am informed that it's not installed correctly, but while manually choosing the drivers I'm greeted with the following (attached).

This is after choosing Android Phone from the available drivers.

Any ideas, guys?

reboot ur device and reconnect to ur PC.

Ive looked all over for a solution and cant find one anywhere. right after i did adb reboot, the device hung on the kindle fire screen, ive turned it off and back on, and nothing, ive restarted the computer, but adb just wont see the device, ive even tried reinstalling the drivers, and it went from unknown device to android adb interface, but adb still doesnt recognize it. ive rooted many devices, but this kindle fire is throwing me for a loop, please help

ur device is in fastboot, its time to do the fastboot commands to flash twrp.

when the device is in fastboot it is unrecognizable with adb, just enter the fastboot commands and you'll be fine.
