[BOOTLOADER] 2nd-bootloader for Custom ROMs on KFireHD 8.9 [06/24 CM12.1/TWRP 2.8.x]

Thepooch · Feb 25, 2013

Your post is very confusing. So you 're saying you have second bootloader installed and twrp, you wiped system, flashed the zip that hashcode has provided, selected wipe factory reset while in twrp, then reboot system sticks you at the logo?

He`s speaking about the stock.zip 8.1.4 I believe.

field3d · Feb 25, 2013

I mean this.

I mean with the commands I gave this commands:

Code:

adb shell su -c "mount -o remount,rw ext4 /system"
adb shell su -c "mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak"
adb shell su -c "mount -o remount,ro ext4 /system"

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd8-twrp-2.3.3.0-recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

In other words just flash the images on the device after make this last command:

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Never booted again the kindle stuck in logo I can´t wipe nothing is totally dead the only way I can revive is restoring with the previous backup I made like you say in your posts:

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img # This one will take a few minutes
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

With that lives the kindle but I can´t install the 2nd boot loader is what I said

I have 8.1.4.
Thank you

After you restore your backup you might need to flash the stack override again.

Code:

adb push stack /data/local/tmp/
adb shell su -c "dd if=/data/local/tmp/stack of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system bs=6519488 seek=1"

Then proceed with renaming install-recovery.sh and flashing freedom boot and twrp as you did before.

That's what I needed to do after losing the ability to boot into recovery.

Thepooch · Feb 25, 2013

Code:

adb shell su -c "mount -o remount,rw ext4 /system"
adb shell su -c "mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak"
adb shell su -c "mount -o remount,ro ext4 /system"

Also if you fail to do this correctly you will get stuck at the logo or when you try to access recovery it will claim bad boot image and either send you to stock recovery or straight into fastboot. Truthfully I think your missing a step or your not installing the stack file correctly or your not wiping correctly prior to flashing the zip. Backing up the stock images is not nearly as intergral as the rest of the process for bootloader install a single typo makes the difference between good and bad on this deal. Hashcode has laid each step out well enough that you can literally copy and paste each command and it will work. If you need help getting through it we should hook up again and I will walk you through each step so that next time you have a better idea of what needs to be done.

Need to override

I think I need to override like you say but gives me exactly that 2 commands permission denied or not permissions something like that how can I enable permissions to override the stack?
Now the question if I override once I have permissions can I lost all the applications and data inside? If yes how can I make a backup of apps and their data? After override I´ll restore the backup of that apps to avoid install one by one and the contents too.

Yes the Thepooch I see that 2 commands gave that error in case I can´t would be nice like the other day.

Thank you

Any errors during the process is a very good indication of why things are running amuck and not completing the task largely it could boil down to getting your drivers working properly. When executing any of the shell commands you may get a prompt to grant shell permission you must grant in order for it to work or you will get permission denied. A linux setup would make this much easier for you.

http://db.tt/ZNYlKiYp install this if it can't find busybox on your system make sure it gets installed to xbin then run the smart install that will help you with your recovery.sh problem.

field3d · Feb 26, 2013

ok

Ok I'll try to install but just a question what is for busybox? I heard in many places about that and the script where I installed the google apps said couldn't install busybox app I ignored that until now you are talking about it.
And the other question "smart install" is an option of busybox or where can I find?
Thank you

Just open the app it will run a check, select install location xbin it might try to default to bin don't let it do that choose xbin then click install and select smart install. Make sure you grant permission upon launch of the app for superuser. All the time, energy, questions and problems could have been solved in about 20 mins by running a couple of scripts on a live usb and being done with it. Stop fiddle farting around with windows seems to have only caused you trouble just sayin Good luck.

My Kindle is stuck on the Kindle Fire orange logo after following all the steps. Luckily I the backup recovery and boot helped me get it running again. Having a bit of trouble getting it done, will try again tomorrow. If anyone has any pointers other than trying again, please reply back to me.

Instructions from the OP...in case you missed them.

Hashcode said:
FLASHING BACK TO STOCK:
** FIND THE FILES WE BACKED UP IN STEP #1: ** OR Follow this thread's instructions:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011126

**** MAC USERS MAY NEED TO SPARSE THE FILES FOR RE-FLASHING TO THE DEVICE. I NEED A MAC USER TO PROBABLY WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS AND I CAN POST BACKUP COPIES OF THE STOCK PARTITIONS FOR DISASTER RECOVERY ****

Once you have these files (we'll name them boot.img/recovery.img and system.img for the purpose of these instructions, but they could be different on your system).

Plug in your fastboot cable and reboot so that you see the fastboot screen and enter the following commands:

Code:

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot [B]boot.img[/B] fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery [B]recovery.img[/B] fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system [B]system.img[/B] # This one will take a few minutes fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

I thought was another thing but is I know what I do now thank you.

Thepooch · Feb 28, 2013

No you don`t remove twrp. Why would you remove your custom recovery?

field3d · Feb 28, 2013

I mean.

I just mean a future inncase of sell the kindle or return to Amazon in a far future not now. Just wanted to know.
This weekend I'll play with the linux finally just to learn the device is working 100% now except the Time Warner cable. But to play I'll play with backtrack and ubuntu to see wha happen with the soup.
Thank you
