Hello,
I bricked a completely new Lenovo Tab M10 (HD). I have no root and I cannot install a new rom.
The command "adb sideload boot.img" does not work. Error: "Footer is wrong".
The command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" does not work. Error: "Partition flashing is not allowed"
It seems that I need the twrp-file to boot my tablet. Unfortunately there is not twrp.img for this device.
Can anybody help me please? Otherwise the device will be sent back to Amazon.
Hey Condor11 ,
Did you get this figured out? I did the same thing with mine. Oops I made a patched boot file with magisk and rooted and alll was fine. Then 1 day slid off my lap and I caught it also while catching a couple other things. Caught it on the end with the buttons,, guess I held it long enough to reboot into fastboot . When I rebooted it would only boot into fastboot. Got to recovery and tried to recover but it just got worse. I hadn't made a full back up yet. soft bricked like a mofo . Can"t flash anything I accidentally locked bootloader. I was able to get the full stock rom .img from the Lenovo LMSA tool. In which I rescued it then tried to root again with the exact same steps as first time but it just got worse. Im trying to build a flash able zip from the factory image right now so I can sideload with ADB in recovery. I just not experienced enough to be able to just whip one up.. It's all learning for me at this point. I have a stock rom zip that I downloaded but its not signature verified so it wont install. If you know how to do any of that I'll send you the files

Try this link...it seems they have uploaded a twrp image for X505F.
Thank you for your replies, 11mackey11 and Shamil Niyas.
I did not know how to solve it and I have sent it back to Amazon within 30 days. They accepted it as it is, no problems, I got my money back.
The reason I did not want the Lenovo without root privilege was, because of the stupid "monster app" for kids. There was no age control app by Lenovo without making the tablet a useless toy for 3 years old children.
My mother is fostering a girl, who was treated very badly by its original parents. I needed a restricted access for this girl, but not the way Lenovo did it. Something for 14 years old kids, who understand at least more than babies, but cannot take as much responsibility as "normal 14 years old children". Unfortunately, Lenovo does not have anything for this situation. I ordered another tablet and had to create a full access account with app restrictions (parental control). I dont like it this way, because there are way too many bugs and even this 14 years old girl has found ways to ignore those access restrictions.
(Some games open pop-up-adds in chrome. this way, once chrome is open, you can access anything. So I had to add restrictions in the router firewall.)
To put it in a nutshell: Lenovo Tab is nothing for adolescent children, if you need parental control. If you have a little more money, go for other brands.

Hello, after playing with a tablet I got boot loop so below is solution for this.
This is what I wrote first:
I purchased Chinese tablet called CyberNav, there is link to the website with specs http://www.dracotek.com/cybernav-7-...ps-navigator-ultra-slim-wifi-8gb-gps70yw.html It works great and is worth the money. I received- on request- firmware for it, but it is with .img extension and I have no idea how to get to the files. Attached application PhoenixCard should install it on sd card but it does nothing. So there is my question- can anyone help me with it? Possibly root it? Or update to newer firmware version? I'll post a link to, just need to upload it to my dropbox on my next break at work.
Sek
im pretty sure you need a 3rd party application to flash that firmware, i think you load the .img file into the software on your pc, connect tablet in flash/recovery mode then flash it that way, dont know which software you would need to use though , sorry i cant help further
There is link to rar package http://db.tt/jm7eHfbq
If there is someone who wants to spend some time... Please help.
Bump
Some new infos:
As far I found out tablet is detectable during boot in adb, but it stays in boot loop. I think I've got right usb drivers.
I tried unyaffs the .img file using C:/unyaffs/unyaffs pw08.img but it shows file corrupted (might be wrong method?).
Logcat attached.
Maybe there is someone who will find what it's missing...
I see there is nobody who can help me, so... If some of u have similar problem with chinese tablet- bootloop, can't flash it with LiveSuit our update from sdcard, I found solution which worked for me. Using adb, pulled catalog /dev/data/ to hard disk, then deleted all dalvik cache, installed by me apps and almost every other file from /data on my hard disk. Then typed adb remount, then adb shell rm -r /dev/data/* to delete all data catalog on tablet. Then pushed /data catalog from my hard disk to tablet, and finally adb reboot. And it WORKS! Booting without problems. I wasted 4 days on research how to turn it in flash mode etc. But it was very simple.
Cheers
Sek
Hi, sek111
It was necessary to use the LiveSuite to flash through usb.
Thank you very much, from your post, I found the firmware for my tablet.
An experience with another low cost tablet with Bootloop
I happen to got my tab (Wammy from WickedLeak.org) stuck in BootLoop and was struggling to get a way out for the past 3 days, checking almost all of the posts for this issue!
The tab would stuck on the android loading animation despite running for 2-3 hours and after several hard reboots, it throw-ed following error-
Encryption Unsuccessful
encrytion was interupted and cant complete. as a result the data on your tablet is no longer accessible
to resume using your tablet, you must perform a factory reset. when you set up your tab after the reset, u'll hav an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to ur google account
Click to expand...

Despite going for the factory reset, it still didn't workout as the reset activity never completed or proceeded. I happen to be a beginner/noob and was trying my luck with possible solution but was comfortable with ADB stuff and workaround. Well i checked the solution which sek111 offered in this post and it was most closely helped me out. So i would like to Thank him a ton for sharing his solution.
Another method for few others if you don't get through the technical stuff and handling all the flashing tools, i was successful in bringing up the setting window of my tab and chose to do Reset via GUI which worked. Actually my battery got drained out to 7% and a popup message for same displayed while i was on the above error page. I selected the "check battery" option from that pop up and got my way out via factory "Backup and Reset" option under settings.
I hope this might help few people if not all! But the XDA forum is great and everyone will find a solution here. Cheers!!!
So I got this wm8850 chinese generic tablet. The camera is in the front in the middle (wide). It was shipped to me with 4.0.3 in boot loop. I soon found out that it boots into safe mode when I usb to pc. This is the furthest I've gotten with it so far. I can adb into it and have already tried to wipe data. It seems like since its from factory screwed up that a may need to reload the firmware or the os or something. Im kind of a noob because I only have my droid x. I've gotten it out of a boot loop before but I also knew what I had done to cause it so I fixed it. I tried to follow seks adb commands but im too noob to do it I guess. I was able to wipe data and dalvik-cache. Issue still occurs . If anybody can give me some adb commands than can help I would greatly appreciate it. Im fairly sure that I found the firmware elsewhere on xda. I thank you guys for any help at all you can give. I don't wanna send it back without trying everything software related as I can, but ill send it back if I can't fix it or if I brick it
Sent from my DROIDX using xda app-developers app
i have same problem in my china mobile.. dupad k1 ... after in installed new boot screen, device stuck in boot... please help to recover my device in step by step....
LG C800
Device will not enter fastboot.
Can't get into recovery mode.
Each time it boots it hard resets. There is an unofficial CWM Recovery Rom on this forum from chui101 which is for this exact phone, but I have as of yet not had any luck in getting the phone to take it.
So far i've tried Flash_image recovery.img (renamed chui's CWM recovery file to recovery.img)
Doesn't seem to matter what I do the phone starts(LG on screen), resets (the LG goes away for a sec then comes back), does a hard reset (a white box with an arrow pointing out of it an to a little android), again resets the phone one last time for a "normal" boot.
I've tried a few different things to try and flash anything overtop of the stock recovery but nothing works. It seems like very early in the bootstrap is a command to do a hard reset and anything that gets put in AFTER that command is ignored. (And the phone hard resets and anything else it was supposed to do is gone.)
Device is rooted with SuperSU.
Phone is fully functional except that it hard resets every boot, and if its plugged in when off it doesn't go to a charging screen, it starts the phone 100% up.
Adb devices CAN see the phone.
I CAN get into Download (sometimes called Emergency) mode.
"reboot recovery" doesn't do anything but reboot the phone as described above.
I can't afford a new phone guys, so I'm over a barrel at this point.
i'll pay whoever provides meaningful help in getting this thing fixed.
You should start fresh. So, flash the stock rom FTF of your phone, then the phone should boot up normally. Then you could either root it and install a CUSTOM recovery, or flash a pre-rooted custom kernel that already contains a recovery. From there, just flash the custom rom you want
Just press thanks if I helped, no need for money
stock rom FTF?
From the factory?
I'd love to do that. But am bewildered as to how when every guide I've found says use fastboot -- which doesn't work on my device. And every guide without fastboot thus far has not worked. I've been reading 10 hrs a day for the last 3 days looking for a solution to this.
If there was a way to completely wipe the entire phone and then install stock rom I'd be glad to do it.... I have found no such guide... only those to replace recovery. (not a 100% clearing as if it came right off the line with no software yet installed)
Additional information:
mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
Spits out a "No such file or directory" error
I don't know about you, but for Xperia Devices there is a PC software called Flashtool to flash stock roms and custom kernels and stuff from the PC. There should also be a software like that for your device. You just download the stock FTF for your phone (just type in google "download stock FTF for LG C800") and flash it in Flashmode that should be working
One more thing, this issue is not called bricked
press thanks if i helped
There is an LG tool but it says current software is up to date.
Other option is run recovery, which just reboots the phone as is.
No, this software I am talking about is not made by LG or Sony in my case. It should be a general tool for all LG devices. it should root, flash, install busybox, etc......

LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL ?
Thats the one that so far doesn't work.
the one named:
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN ?
He doesn't appear to support GSM phones. Plus I hit "Read info from phone" button... it gets almost everything -- correctly -- then crashes.
IT wants kdz files... looking for them now... chui has a dl link for the stock recovery but even though its a few mb it looks like only a zipped folder hierarchy with no files.
Slightly mis-read. still not finding any "generic" flashing software
trying octopus now....
crashed....
run as admin..... ah... you need their hardware which is hundreds of dollars...
Flash image gui, phone is not supported.
ok, a couple cyanogen dev's have both told me i'm screwed. Imma try for the rest of today and then just never turn it off again.
ok, paying lg to fix it... anybody guess what that will cost?
Try flashing CyanogenMod on your phone as no stock firmware is avaiable currently for your phone cyanogenmod shall fix the problem and you should boot normally (first flash CWM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752704 - flashing cwm recovery (do it!)
Flashing cyanogenmod (requires usb debugging on)
First to put the cyanogenmod rom in the sdcard use adb push - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929

Page 2(The actual flashing part :victory - http://droidnoob.com/update-lg-c800-to-android-4-0-4-ics-via-cm9.html/2
Probably will fix the problem....
hi techmasta,
I'd love to flash cyanogenmod, but the phone never enters fastboot to flash anything. The first link you posted says to use fastboot. I can't do that. The phone doesn't goto fastboot, it runs its recovery first.
EDIT: if there is a way to force it while the phone is in download mode that could probably work.
secondly, I've spend more than 40 hours on this issue, mostly reading forums but still a great deal on google.
I'm pretty unhappy with google as neither of those droidnoob forums ever come up. And believe me, there isn't much out there referring to the lg c800 so they should have!
Hey guys I desperately need help here. I got this Kindle Fire 8.9" years ago, and got abandoned by my Dad because we live in SEA, can't do much with it, I cannot even get the free apps through Amazon Appstore. I can use fake US CC in this matter to get the free apps but Is that even legit? I have real CC and a legit Amazon account I bought real stuffs from Amazon too back then (books, some shirts and some gadgets) but that doesn't seem to help much.
Anyway sideloading apps from Google Play don't help much since the compatibility are horrible, and sideloading the Google Playstore itself just don't work. I've attempted to install all the Playstore requirements, some installed and some spit out "Parse error - There was a problem parsing the package".
I figure I needed to convert it to a full Android. So searching around I found about "fastboot" but I'm not familiar with it. I only got my hands dirty on Odin and SP Flash Tool.
I followed the instruction here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...t-install-twrp-android-fire-os-8-5-1-t3278286
Works very well, rooted with KingRoot (which I already have offline), installed FireFlash, flashed the bootloader and recovery (100% like the instruction told me), got into TWRP, did a full backup of the current ROM and reboot. I can get it to the Carousel just fine. I attempted to flash Gapps package for ICS (gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip) from here (found from googling around, checked the content too) :
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6zwjGaKK0GVUll5Sm95LWpNaDg/edit
The installation went quite well, after running Play Store, it crashes constantly. Found another tutorial on installing Google Apps on another forum, which I lost the link, so I want to attempt another Google Play install before went to CyanogenMod.
I noticed something, after each reboot, I need to re-flash TWRP and reboot. When I attempt to reflash TWRP I notice that kfhd8freedom-boot-8.4.6.img didn't have any warning anymore.
The tablet was a gift from my brother in law to my Dad. It was never been reset ever since. In fact after I installed Google Play, it still got my brother in law login in it, even though it doesn't have the Google Play store. So I figure I need to do a factory reset and start 100% fresh, just to be sure.
And this is where it went wrong. After the factory reset the device rebooted into fastboot mode. I don't know why. I see the orange Kindle Fire logo, then the screen went red then "fast boot mode" appear on screen. At this point I cannot do anything to it. Followed every power button tutorials out there, like pressing the power for 20 seconds then release then hold it for 2 seconds, or power plus volume up/volume down, no luck.
I plugged it into my PC, it shows as "Android", and below it "Android ADB". So I tried to use ADB console for it, it didn't respond. However it responds to "fastboot" commands, tried some commands from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474566&page=2
These commands works :
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot
But it went straight back to fastboot mode. My guess is that the culprit is kfhd8freedom-boot-8.4.6.img.
Looking around in the forum there're so many obsolete solutions, like Kindle Fire HD First Aide download link are dead and it was intended for Fire 7.
So the questions are :
How would you recommend me to fix this? Fastboot command definitely still working from PC to my Kindle, if that is any help for this case. I really have no clue on what to do next. I only experienced with Odin and SP Flash Tool. I have no experience with fastboot.
I don't have any stock rom at hands, neither can find any googling around. Can anyone provide me with one? Just in case anything bad happen again after I fix this.
Will this work for 8.9"? Since he posted it in Fire 7 forum : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Info on my devices :
Kindle Fire Jem 8.9"
Latest stock (8.5.1_user_5159720) was installed
Rooted with KingRoot before went brick
I have no fastboot cable, but the fastboot command mentioned earlier works on regular USB (OnePlus One's stock cable)
Gapps for ICS was installed within too
I got both Windows 10 and Windows XP PCs at my hand. XP seems to recognize it better as ADB something under "android" in device manager.
I also got Ubuntu 16.04 installation, if needed.
Please help.
Thank you in advance!
Managed to boot into Fire OS
I just use fastboot to flash both kfhd8-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img and kfhd8-u-boot-prod-8.1.4.bin.
After a reboot I went into TWRP, it does a few stuffs then rebooted again automatically.
Blue logo came up, then the orange logo, but it took longer than usual, I was a bit panicking. Forgot that on each first boot Android would take longer than usual.
But then kindle fire up the first time setup *phew*
First I want to get Gapps working on this device. If that working well, I'll stick with stock + GAPPS and custom launcher.
Only after that I will try CM12 on it.
I'll update on this thread later on how it goes.
Did anyone still have the stock recovery.img and boot.img?
Also after completing the initial setup my navigation and status bar went missing
The navigation bar blinks for a second then went black. While the status bar which displays wifi icons and hide the settings are missing. I cannot swipe from above at all.
With the status bar and navigation bar missing I can't do anything in it.
I still have APKs (es file explorer, kingroot, fireflash, all the ROMS like Cyanogen & TWRP) within the internal storage, but I cannot reach them.
Using silk tried to open file:/// it said "Webpage not available". I did this previously to sideload ES file explorer.
I went into recovery (power + volume up) but it went into fastboot mode instead of TWRP. And this time in "fastboot mode" it doesn't recognize either adb or fastboot commands from my PC.
I cannot even factory reset it.
What to do next?
My god, overall my impression so far? The hardware itself are near Apple premium quality.
But it looks like Amazon tried to follow Apple's footstep in term of software too.
Also this got me thinking of not having an android without any dedicated navigation buttons.
Finally SOLVED.
I forgot I can download ES file explorer from Silk. But turn out my Amazon appstore account allowed me to download it instead. Probably because my dad and brother's credentials was wiped clean from it.
I went to find flashfire.apk in my internal storage. Install it, then the unknown source popup warning appeared. Luckily it got the settings button which lead me to that particular option. After I tick it, I need to shut my kindle down, reboot then went to install it again, because there's no navigation bar available.
After it installed, turn out Kingroot's root are still intact. Kingroot's root permission pop up appeared.
Reflashed TWRP and Freedom boot. Shut my Kindle down, volume up + power and I'm in TWRP!!!
I decide I'll just go full CM this time. So, continued this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/kind...8-5-1-t3278286
Now I'm currently updating the default Google apps from Google Play within CM 12. A little laggy but most definitely far better than FireOS.
I'll be using this Kindle for a week, I'll report here and hopefully can contribute to CM's bug report.
So far : camera, bluetooth, WIFI, GPS works out of the box. Brightness settings don't work.
Just one question, does this fastboot cable thingy "standard"? I saw one seller in my local online shop but it's for Xiaomi. Can I use it for OnePlus One and Kindle?
Oh yeah I got TWRP backup of the stock kindle, but I would still need both stock boot and recovery image. If someone kindly enough to provide me I'll be very thankful.
Checking in
Root are enabled by default, just found out about this. It got build in, barebone SU management, on which you can allow an app to have root access or not, but didn't see any comprehensive root access management like those found in SuperSU.
So installed SuperSU, told SuperSU to just update through TWRP, update binary was a breeze, all done automatically.
Watching YouTube on it was quite convenient. The screen obviously have near-retina display. Much better than viewing it on my Note 10.1 2012 obviously.
No problem browsing on Chrome.
Installed couple of other root apps, transfered it from my cheap chinese phone (Mito) using Bluetooth. All works well.
Tried to play Shooty Skies on it but it stuck on the intro screen. However on my OPO Shooty Skies refuses to run too and stuck on the intro screen. I've unlocked all characters on it I'll just wait for an update then.
Did some theming, custom boot animations works, styles applied, icons and everything applied without any problem at all.
One complain, the sound are too low, even when maxed out. Perhaps because the Dolby isn't supported by this CM yet?
My dad complained that there're too many updates after the initial setup so I use System Cleaner 2 to merge the updates into the system. The app did wonderful job on my Mito :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flaki.systemcleaner2
Merged all updates into the system. If I don't do this everytime I wipe the device, the device will keep asking for updates. At least on the Gapps. It stuck at the middle, so I restart the System Cleaner 2 and it continue to do its job.
Then when I install Link2SD, which often do better job and more comprehensive apk management, weird things started to happen. It's said SuperSU are not installed. That and also couple of Google Apps. When I run Link2SD, their size is 0.
I think it's most likely caused by System Cleaner 2, couple of apps got interrupted when I merge the updated apk into the system?
So I reboot, then after I got into trebuchet, all the supposedly installed apps are gone. I don't know why. Thus I wipe everything clean again, reflash CM12, and just go into unrooted mode, update the gapps, remove my account and let my dad login using his and do whatever he want with this kindle.
Another minor update.
Since I've downloaded ICS (CM11), I figure I might just try it anyway. Since on whatever softwares I use I prefer older, stable version than bleeding edge and feature-rich but unstable ones.
Take a note I'm not saying CM12 is unstable, no problem so far, only those I pointed out in the previous post. But mostly because CM11 was marked "stable" on CyanogenMod download site.
First impression? It's snappier than CM12, and much more familiar than Lollipop. (since most devices I own still using JellyBean, with the exception of my OPO which already running Marshmellow).
My dad should be familiar with it too. Quite happy with it. But unfortunately the gapps are too outdated. It throws me server errors, and I cannot reach anything within Google Play. I can browse google websites without problem, even google play itself inside the default browser, so it's not connection problem definitely.
Updating the google play manually doesn't fix this. So any solution for this? Perhaps updated gapps for CM11/4.0.4?
Edit : eh nevermind, the Gapps provided for CM12 works with CM11. And very stable too.
Edit : CM11 for Kindle 8.9 is JellyBean 4.4, not ICS.
I guess I'll stick to CM11 for awhile then.
One more question, what does the CM12 recovery do? Can I install it alongside CM11? Is it better than TWRP?

Lol. Xda isn't my first English speaking forum so I did a search or two before I ask anything. And I've been around here quite awhile just rarely post but xda is my primary resource on mobile customizations.
I do still have couple of unanswered questions tho :
1. I still need the stock FireOS and recovery. I'm very sure I've backed it up but I probably accidentally wiped them in the process because I saved them in the internal storage.
2. Are the fastboot cables universal? This thing is hard to look for in my local stores and I can only find Xiaomi's. Will this work for every fastboot devices out there? I just found out about fastboot from flashing this kindle and I also recently find out my OPO uses fastboot as well so kinda thought it would be handy to keep one around.
3. How does CM12's recovery compares to TWRP? And will it runs fine along CM11 rom? I can try it myself but having late sleeps for days just because I bricked my kindle again isn't cool lol. TWRP does its job well. If it ain't broken I don't want to fix it. But I just want to know why @Hashcode included it in Cm12. If it's worth it I'll go ahead and install it and probably give further reports about it.
So far my dad is enjoying his CM11 powered kindle. Not sure if he finds any new bugs or not but seems that he's not complaining.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

As noted you have gone you own way so the standard responses don't necessarily apply. Quick notes:
- there are several ways of restoring stock FireOS on this device, none clean, all with ramifications. Unless you need FireOS I would stear clear
- no standard way of restoring stock recovery; obtaining a compatible recovery image will be a challenge. TWRP is far superior
- fastboot cables do not work with this device
- I have no knowledge of CM12's recovery. TWRP gets the job done and is universal.

Ah dang. Not that much of a problem though. I just like to keep stocks ROMs around just to be safe. I won't be returning this thing to Amazon anytime soon, and I guess judging by my brief experience with the FireOS it won't be much of a use for our locals using the stock ROM if I or my dad actually decide to sell it.

My god, overall my impression so far? The hardware itself are near Apple premium quality.
But it looks like Amazon tried to follow Apple's footstep in term of software too.
Also this got me thinking of not having an android without any dedicated navigation buttons.

My Kindle Fire HDX (3rd Gen) is stuck in fastboot. After reading some forums, people don't recommend sending attempting to "recover" from the fastboot for the likelihood of bricking the device. Would you mind sharing the vulnerable bootloader + the twrp and the CM file you used? Along with the commands you used to flash. For some reason, the device isn't flashing the twrp image I have. I receive a "unknown partition" error when I try to flash twrp.
Thank you in advance.

Answered elsewhere (one 48 other threads you posted to with the same question)
Stuck in Fastboot. I can flash and write and reboot, but 100% of the time it returns to FB. I had flashed freedom boot 8.46 2x. I most recently had lineage 14.1 and twrp 2.78.
Tried every tool in the book zero have worked.
UPDATE 6-9, out of fastboot, now stuck on kindle logo.

Hey guys, this is my first Thread in xdadevelopers
I am pretty new to coding and all this "behind the UI" stuff, but i am eager to learn more, since its really fun.
So i have got a new Phone : the ulefone power 2 with MTK6750T Prozessor. It has quite the battery with 6000mah, but i still wanted to root the device to archieve like one week battery time or so xD
I rooted, installed TWRP recovery and some apps, everything just went fine. I didnt install a custom rom, since i didnt find any for this phone. Well, i wont buy mtk phones anymore, since they dont offer open source code with all its community possibilities
Anyway, today the touchscreen suddenly stopped working. I thought its a common bug, restarted it. Now it wont start the OS anymore, its only booting in TWRP. I dont remember well, but it said something like "phone is not safe, gotta factory reset".
Since i have TWRP, i just did the reset. Without success though. Its still booting into recovery and cant shut down either, whatever i chose in TWRP options.
My next thought was flashing a new ROM with TWRP, which doesnt work due to "zip file is corrupt" error, even though its the stock file from ulefone.com
Since TWRP has a command terminal, it might be possible to use to stop the recovery bootloop when connecting to pc? in this case i might be able to use adb, but atm i cant, and the battery is non removable
I dont care that much about having a phone, i could just buy a new one (xiaomi redmi note 4x it would be), but i would really like to fix this and enlarge my knowledge for situations to come.
Hopefully someone of the professionals here can help. There is a similar Thread already by drkeey, but in my case i can still use TWRP with my mouse, so there might be hope.
So I admit I am an idiot and did this to myself. I installed the latest FireOS OTA through TWRP then thought to keep TWRP I would install it before I rebooted. I know I probably should have read threads about keeping root and the horribleness of 5.6.0.1 but I did not. So I can boot into the OS and I can boot to bootloader but I have no recovery at all. Any one know how to recover from this? Found out the unbrick method I have used before does not work. Fastboot give me an error about locked hw.
Been working on this anyone know or have a fastboot zip or image. I am getting a errors trying to flash the amazon bin with fastboot.
I know I am the only one posting here. I read through a bunch of threads that seem to be people in the same issue. I have now managed to get it stuck in demo mode. I also cannot seem to accomplish much from fastboot because I get a locked hw error. Bought a couple for parts HD6s off ebay. So hopefully I can make something work and get at least one working tablet. This has really put a damper on trying to create a device tree to try and build cm12.
Closer to being a brick. Some how I managed to have root in adb and managed to wipe all. Which I guess really meant all. Now all I get is the amazon logo. No desktop. No adb. No way to get to fastboot.
So ebay tablets came in, bout a lot that had 2. The one was listed as a demo model, so a simple ;demo in the search and resell the device and viola fully working tablet. It still had 4.1.1 on it so a simple update to 4.5.3, Kingroot, and TWRP install and back on CM11. The second was "black screen" so I assumed bricked as it did not seem to turn on when plugged in, initially. Tried running through unbrick but nothing from ./reader.sh so assumed on newer FireOS that blocked that function. After setting the first up I was rearranging my stack on now 2, what I thought where, badly bricked devices. Hit the power button and booted to lock screen with 7% battery. So I now have an extra HD6 to mess with. Best part is I got both of them for $20 total.
