what about idme bootmode? also is there a recovery?

if you have root access, you can try this code in adb mode

adb shell
su
reboot bootloader

adb shell

reboot bootloader

yes, I know how to use adb and reboot. Typing that does not work. It just reboots normally. Some people have reported the ability to type reboot recovery and get to fastboot. But the recovery on this device is the screen that says that your kindle cannot boot.

I recommend investing in a factory/fastboot cable if you are planning to do any type of modifcations to your device.

They only cost like 6 dollars and mine has saved my ass way more than I'd like to admit.

I have been thinking about making one. I have a great cable for it, I just have to sit down and do it.
Is there any way besides the factory cable to get to fastboot on kf2?

Read this before you buy anything

Before you go for the fastboot cable - read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33807375&postcount=34

Apperently the size of the restore image is to big for fastboot.

Sparse image. Strip apps that can be restored.
All I want fastboot for is a bootloader and recovery. Not a restored system image.

I did actually get to fastboot. I modified a samsung micro b cable. I didn't solder anything, and as soon as it showed up as fastboot, I switched the cable to a good cable I knew would work.
apparently, it is the only way to get to fastboot on this device, and I'm glad I know how to recognize it on this device now.

how did you modify it ?

if you are asking about my fastboot cable, I spliced a wire into the red line in the usb cord then wrapped that tightly around pin 4 and replaced all covers so that it lined up correctly with the pins of the device.

 

[fmkilo]

fastboot on kf2? cwm?

adb shell su -c 'idme bootmode 4'

 

[idontwanttobeanoob]

adb shell su -c 'idme bootmode 4'

I personally just used
Adb shell
Su
Reboot boot loader

Then verified with fastboot -i 0x1949 devices

Worked great. Fmkilo thanks for convincing Hashcode to work on this, you need any testers or anything pm me

I bought a Factory Cable
As soon as I plug in the cable, and my Kindle startint and i see fastboot screen,
My pc find a new Device and cant install driver " Otter2-Prod-04". (Win7 x64)

what do you do then?
How can I get the drivers?

how can I install twrp.

Your main problem is windows. Kfu has the drivers, but if you already rooted of, you can try to use the method here you do not need a factory cable.

There is a special version of KFU for Kindle Fire 2 ?

I know the other method where I do not need Factory cable.
What if it goes wrong?
what do I do?

My other PC find also not a driver for it.

No, there is not. Get the KFU for the original Fire and that will get you the drivers. That's all you're getting from it. Don't bother with anything else in the tool.

If it goes wrong, you're screwed most likely.
You get a fastboot/factory cable.

Skorpn sells some nice ones, you can look him up on XDA.

Odds are things shouldn't go wrong, but IF they do, you will need a fastboot cable to fix things.

It's up to you how you want to go about that.

Does anyone have any idea why the Fasbootdriver does not work with me?

Have just used the normal usb cable, via ADB Shell "reboot recovery"

booted into fastboot,

then used "fasboot devices" and my Tableed was visible.

"fastboot reboot" works too.

But when I bring my tablet with the fastboot cable into recovery mode,
shows me "fasboot devices" nothing.

To root my kindle I have also long search for the right driver, not a driver of all guides worked for me.


Only the Amazon driver from SDK manager works. I have here 3 PC´s and 1 Notebook (alls PC´s Win7 and Notebook Win8)
I tested it on alls PC´s, but it still dnot work.
