[Q] Fried my KF2 (10.2.6)

[POLMafia]

Been reading for days, and cant seem to make headway, here is the story

Have KF-2 build 10.2.4 got it rooted, then it auto updated to 10.2.6, re-rooted with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.5.1, got google everything working to include google mail. Decided I didn’t like the lock screen pictures and copied framework-res off, changed the backgrounds and repackaged. Went into kindle and renamed framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.old. as soon as I hit enter got service fail loop. Turned it off and came back up to red triangle with only options of reboot or restore, neither one did anything. After much reading bought a factory cable, pluged it in and got to “fastboot” screen with a green flashing light and a red light. Windows saw it however ADB would not see it. Screwd around and opened kindle fire utility (I know now it is not made for KF2) and hit option two “permanent root” Kindle flashed turned off, to never come on again. Now the wife is doing the “I told you so” dance.
Can I get it back or have I totally sc***ed the pooch? I’de even consider sending it to someone.

I can help, although I prefer the freenode irc channel #kf2-dev If you are interested, just show up.

Give a try on Ubuntu

Can you get it to boot at all? My KF2 was stuck in a boot loop.

I could do a hard shutdown, and boot into TWRP. But, I wiped to install new ROM and since there is no SDcard, my rom was gone, too.

I got ADB to work on my Xubuntu laptop and sideloaded the new rom and Gapps.

All is well since yesterday. Great tutorial here:
