ATTN: Backup your boot0 block today

ATTENTION: PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
It has come to my attention that under certain circumstances when the Kindle HD's get stuck in a bootloader bootloop the information on the "boot0" block of the internal storage can be ERASED and RESET.
This partition is special and contains ALL of your device's hardware specific information:
- Wifi MAC address + Encoded Secret for registering w/ Amazon services
- BT MAC address
- Serial #
etc
FOR BACKING UP THIS PARTITION:
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0block.img"
adb pull /sdcard/boot0block.img
Place the "boot0block.img" file with the other files that you backed up in the original instructions for safe keeping.
FOR RESTORING THIS PARTITION:
(do not do this unless you are absolutely SURE that your boot0 block got wiped out -- hopefully you never need to)
This is done via adb from your PC while the device is in TWRP recovery or in the Android OS (not fastboot):
Code:
cd <your safekeeping files>
adb push boot0block /sdcard/boot0block.img
adb shell "echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro; dd if=/sdcard/boot0block.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0;"
THIS FILE IS UNIQUE TO YOUR DEVICE AND CANNOT BE REPLACED OR REBUILT FROM ANOTHER DEVICE. DO NOT SHARE IT WITH ANYONE AS IT CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DEVICE USED BY AMAZON DURING REGISTRATION.

very interesting Hashcode,thanks for the information :good:

Odd, I can't seem to find the file after I pulled it with ADB.
EDIT: I didn't even assign the command an output location to begin with. LOL.

Thanks for the info.
How can I access KFHD via ADB if CM10.1 installed.
I can't see my device in device manager only as a media storage or sth like that.
Should I remove KFHD adb driver and install the google driver?
Or just using the hidden trick in cm10.1?
"Enable Developer options in your phone (Settings > About phone and tap Build Number until you are a developer (about 7 times)
Set root access for APPS and ADB in: Settings > Developer Options > Root Access
Enable Android debugging at the same page (Developer Options). Enable ADB over network if you need.
Check if your Settings > Security > Unknown Sources is checked. you will need it to install over ADB."
Yeah...it helped

Just turn on ADB debugging on the tablet, and plug it into the computer. On the computer, open command prompt, use the command "adb devices" to see if your ADB is working.
Other than that, I don't know what happened in your post.

Ok i really can't figure this one out, I used adb many times while testing KFFAide tool so I am 100% sure my adb drivers are installed correctly, But since i switched to cm10.1 (Thanks hashcode) ADB cannot recognize my device anymore, I have enabled ADB on my KFHD and when i connect it to my pc a small notification appears "Android debugging enabled" but when i use "adb devices" command nothing shows up!
Can anyone help me with this i'm completely lost here!

Leave the device plugged in, go to Developer Setting and uncheck ADB debugging, then check it again. You should see a prompt, select OK for both.

Why don't you guys try this, go into CMD while connected with the device (ADB debugging on), and type "adb devices" to start the daemon, then try the commands. Other than that, I don't know what else to do.

Nope. Just get "List of Devices Attached" but no serial number. Checked device manager and it's showing up as a portable device. Probably will reinstall them and see if that solves it.
On a side note:
if we ran these commands in terminal emulator on the device, would that be sufficient?

Yes
run the first command then pull it manually
But we need to know what's going on, i will need adb sometime soon when prokennexusa releases the next version of KFFAide

you can always open up your device manager and manually apply the adb drivers to your kindle

Normally you would notice WiFi doesn't work under any circumstances same for BT. And when on Amazon's software it won't let you register.

I can't get ADB to find it either, think i'll revert back to stock to get the file then go back to CM - I notice though on CM turning USB Debugging on doesn't change anything in device manager, it still stays connected as a media device or camera, depending on which you have ticked in storage setting *shrugs*
Thank you Hashcode

No don't, just type the command hashcode provided in terminal emulator and you'll find the backup in your sdcard, just copy it to your pc like normal!

You can do it from the terminal without typing ADB. that may be why people are confused. Start with hashcodes command but start with "su -c" in the terminal.

[Q] How to remove ADB from my computer ?

Hey everyone, I keep getting a "adb out of date...killing" whenever I try and use ADB with my Motorola Moto G.
I think I somehow have messed up the ADB files or something, I want to start an ALL new installation of ADB to see if I can get my computer to get it working correctly.
How do I go about completely removing ADB from my computer so I can redownload it and reinstall it ?

As above.
You'll need ADB active on the phone.
And a new / updated version of the ADB drivers / tools on your desktop.
Also, you will get a dialog prompt on the phone to confirm a security encrypted key (to allow ADB between your desktop and your phone)
This is something Google introduced on 4.1 (I think) which, if is not set, will end in a "devices not found" when trying to use ADB

Revoke all USB authorisation.
Try reconnecting.
And authorize when prompted!
If it doesnt work!
Also Please post Does your device show up in device manager? IF yes by what name? Is there an ADB Interface?

I get the error "device not found" in adb shell when I type a command

Hello. As the title says I get that error. I need to run adb shell to use some commands. When I type "adb devices" I don't get any device listed (the long name).
My OS is Windows 8.1 64bit.
Thanks.

Nexus 5. In SDK Manager it says that Google USB Drivers are installed. I don't get it. When I use the phone to flash images in fastboot it works perfectly but ADB doesn't work.

Try to disable/enable USB debugging again and check if the adb device is listed in your device manager.
You can also try this ADB/fastboot bundle (Includes the google drivers) and work on all folders

Bloatware Apps Removal via ADB

Hello Everyone,
I would like to learn how to remove bloatware Apps from my Android phone.
I have tried using "ADB commands" but for some reason my computer doesn't recognize/find my Android phone when I connect it to it.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Download drivers for samsung and enabled adb developer option then type following "adb devices" press enter and should see serial number indicating phone connected via adb

Hello, and Thanks
I have done that exactly, but it still doesn't work.
And I can't figure out why is not working.
I have installed the Samsung driver, allowed the ADB function on my phone from "Developer Options" etc.

In addition to the advices by petiolarissean , check whether the driver works well, please.
In the 'Devices Manager' of your Windows, check the driver for your Android phone.
If this doesn't work yet, change an usb cable and then try again.

Only to have mentioned it:
So-called bloatware typically is housed in Android's locations /system and/or /system/priv--apps what only can get accessed by Android's root-user after successfully mounted as RW.
