[SOLVED] Internal storage disappeared after unbricked

For unknown reason, my kindle fire bricked yesterday. After i unbricked it, i found myself unable to install any application.
I really doubt what i can do for my kindle. Please Help me, thank you.

create folder new with rootexploer and in adb write (file u-boot must be in folder tools of kfu:
adb push u-boot.bin /new
adb shell dd if=/new/u-boot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
and after flash other rom.
I had this problem after unbrick kf and only this method can help me.
Good luck

thanks for your help. i pushed u-boot.bin.
However, "dd: can't open '/new/u-boot.bin': Not a directory" shown after i enter the second command. So, what can i do next?

did you create folder? i had this error first time when folder was not created.

oh...i found the problem is that i only can use adb in recovery mode. But everytime i reboot it, all changes i made will be erased automatically due to the limited storage i think. So, i created the folder and it just being erased.

i know it.
1. Turn on device
2. Create a folder
3. Run adb
4. Write commands.
Must write a lot of text after the second command. So fff installed. If you reboot kf after this, can see yellow triangle.

thank you so much Deat7

[Guide][NOOB-Friendly] How to share your Nandroid Backup and Modem

As we are having a lot of Jelly Bean leaks lately, a lot of users want to share the Nandroid backup to others but sometimes they make mistakes which ends up in md5 mismatches or some of them don't know how to create a share-able zip.
I have tried to create this guide to enable them in doing so. Hope this will help everyone.
Requirement:
CWM Recovery
7zip, Winrar or any file compressing tool
ADB setup in your PC
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once you have applied the OTA and done a factory reset, Follow the process given below:-
If your have ClockworkMod Touch Recovery 6.0.1.2 (Believe me it is easier and better in Touch recovery - Get it from here) follow these:-
In CWM Recovery
Reboot into Recovery => Hold Volume Up + Home + Power buttons together for about 5-7 seconds, release the buttons when you see the recovery menu
Choose -> Backup and Restore
Chooose -> Choose Backup Format (Optional)
Change Backup format to tar (Optional)
Choose -> Create image.zip
This will create an image.zip and an image folder in your Internal Sdcard inside the clockworkmod>backup folder
Copy the image.zip file to your PC, rename it to the software version you are sharing for e.g. GT-I9300-XXXXXXXX. Important do not put spaces in the name.
Upload this zip to whichever Filehosting site you want to share with.
*this image.zip can be flashed in CWM directly without having the need to extract the files inside*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you have ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5 (Get it from here) Follow these:-
In CWM Recovery
Reboot into Recovery => Hold Volume Up + Home + Power buttons together for about 5-7 seconds, release the buttons when you see the recovery menu
Choose -> Backup and Restore
Choose -> Backup (either Internal or External SDcard by default it will backup to ExtSDcar)
Your Backup will now be there inside the clockworkmod>backup folder, Copy this folder to your PC
Zip the Folder and give it a name for e.g. GT-I9300-XXXXXX (Dont use spaces)
Now you can upload this zip to any filehosting service of your choice

Well that escapes me..may be someone knowledgeable can shed some light on it..
Sorry..
Maybe the that provided with the firmware is a patch..I know OTA files are patches but can't say much about full firmwares..

I'm trying to do this using the terminal emulator in Rom toolbox and u keep getting permission denied?
(from what I understood we had two ways of doing this correct? A computer and adb or TE, correct?)

You have to type su in terminal to gain root access. It's just like a standard Linux terminal.

Did you manage to boot the unbrick image from SD card? I have the same problem, but as cannot communicate with the phone with adb, the card option seems to be the last one before sending the phone for some one with JTAG.

*/
This has been confirmed to work on:
XT1922-3 Model
XT1922-4 Model
XT1922-5 Brazilian Model
XT1922-7 Boost Mobile variant of this device with the code name JETER with Android 8.0.0 Build OCP27.91-23
XT1922-9 Model
Links to all boot images have been removed at the request of Motorola.
If you have done an OTA for your Device these boot.img's may not work for your device. We will need a newer boot.img to patch.
Please make backups using TWRP. Right now there is no ROM from moto for these devices that I've found. So proceed with caution.
Just make sure to download the correct boot.img for your device.
If you have another model please follow the first few steps to grab the stock boot.img and post it here and I can patch it.
The steps listed in this process WILL wipe your userdata. If you have anything you need to save back it up first.
Prerequisites:
Unlocked bootloader.
ADB/Fastboot installed on your machine ( https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools ) If you have issues with commands make sure you have a current build of ADB and fastboot.
Step 1.) Download _ this TWRP image to the ADB/Fastboot folder on your computer.
Step 2.) Reboot to your bootloader. You can do this by turning on your device and holding power and both volume buttons at the same time.
Step 3.) Once the device reboots to the bootloader type the following from your computer with your phone connected via USB.
Code:
fastboot boot moto-g6-play-jeter-patched-twrp.img
Step 4.) Once TWRP boots from your computer type (it may take a bit to boot because it is trying to decrypt your userdata, but it will fail and prompt for a password. Just click cancel):
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/boot stockboot.img
adb pull /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/recovery stockrecovery.img
This will backup your stock boot and recovery images if you to revert to stock later.
Step 5.) Now type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Step 6.) Download either XT1922-9_no_dm-verity_boot.img or XT1922-7_no_dm-verity_boot.img or XT1922-5_no_dm-verity_boot.img or XT1922-4_no_dm-verity_boot.img or XT1922-3_no_dm-verity_boot.img patched dm-verity boot image depending on which device you have and download it into the ADB/Fastboot folder on your computer.
Step 7.) Run the following command from your computer to install the relevant boot image to your device.
Code:
fastboot flash boot XT1922-9_no_dm-verity_boot.img
OR
Code:
fastboot flash boot XT1922-7_no_dm-verity_boot.img
OR
Code:
fastboot flash boot XT1922-5_no_dm-verity_boot.img
OR
Code:
fastboot flash boot XT1922-4_no_dm-verity_boot.img
OR
Code:
fastboot flash boot XT1922-3_no_dm-verity_boot.img
Step 8.) Run the following command from your computer to install the TWRP image to your device.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery moto-g6-play-jeter-patched-twrp.img
Step 9.) Use the volume keys on the device to select boot to recovery and TWRP will boot up again. When it prompts for a decryption password select cancel again.
Step 10.) From your computer type the following into your command prompt/terminal from your adb/fastboot folder:
Code:
adb shell mount -o,rw /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/vendor /vendor
Step 11.) Download this patched fstab.qcom boot image into the ADB/Fastboot folder on your PC.
Step 12.) Run the following command from command prompt/terminal on your computer:
Code:
adb push fstab.qcom /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom
Step 13.) Next click the "Wipe" button in TWRP and slide "Swipe to Factory Reset" THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA ON YOUR PHONE. Ensure you have backup.
Step 14.) Download the Magisk zip file https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/ to your ADB/Fastboot folder.
Step 15.) Run the following command to push the boot image to your device
Code:
adb push Magisk-vXXX.zip /tmp
This will push the Magisk-vXXX.zip to your /tmp folder
Step 16.) Flash Magisk-v16.4.zip from TWRP using the install option and navigate to the /tmp folder to select it and install it.
Step 17.) Reboot your device
Step 18.) It will say N/A in the top corner of your device for a few seconds. Then it will boot the the Motorola boot screen and you can setup your device as a new phone.
Step 19.) Verify Magisk Manager is installed and the root functionality works.
Step 20.) ???
Step 21.) Profit

1st....
Thanks for your guide!

i can confirm this works perfectly on my boost model if you do everything exactly as the tutorial say. will be posting screenshots once i re download xda labs on phone. using computer as i type this
---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------
alright so until this thread is able to work on the app i cant post screenshots but magisk safety net protection works. my kernel adiutor settings stuck on boot. the only things thats not working is being able to uninstall some bloatware and useless system apps. o theres no device encryption on boot anymore which is nice.

Hi @kwiksi1ver,
Thank you for your guide! :highfive:
However, I recomend to do one of these two things:
- Option 1: Add to your guide a link for download the original "boot.img" and "recovery.img". This is required for restoring the original state of the device in case of some error.
- Option 2: Instead of directly "flash" the "recovery.img" in the step 3, you can recommend to use a simple "boot". This doesn't replace the recovery and it's more safe. Then you can instruct to the user to make a backup of his stock boot & recovery partitions. See my guide about G6+: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/how-to/moto-g6-root-guide-start-pro-users-t3795197
If you do it, then some users can rollback when some trouble appear. For example, someone here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76789160&postcount=27 needs your help (I have a G6+, so I can't help him).
Regards. :angel:

Sweat
So here is confirming. This works 100% alas i can only confirm the boost version as well.
THANK YOU

I Can confirm this works on the boost mobile variant of the jeter if you follow every step exactly. Magisk works, and safety net is good, and magisk hide works tried Pokemon go and it was successful. Modules I used on my Moto g4 play work on my g6 play. Only thing I've noticed is the bloatware and certain system apps ( like Facebook) refuse to be uninstalled. Screenshots provided. Kernel aduitor settings also stayed when I used the apply on boot option

Cheers. I've added the stock files to the second post in the thread and I'll see what I can do about updating with the fastboot boot twrp.img steps and have the user backup their stuff first.
I wish I could help the user your referenced too, but they have different device. They have a G6, I have a G6 Play, and you have a G6+.

You can run "adb shell" then "su" then type "pm disable com.facebook.system", "pm disable com.facebook.katana", "pm disable com.facebook.appmanager", "pm disable com.ironsource.appcloud.oobe", "pm disable com.lookout" etc which will disable the apps.
Alternatively you could use a file manager with root access and delete the various files and reboot. Make sure to keep a backup just in case you need them:
/oem/app/FcbkAppManagerSprint/FcbkAppManagerSprint.apk
/oem/app/FacebookStubSprint/FacebookStubSprint.apk
/oem/priv-app/FcbkInstallerSprint/FcbkInstallerSprint.apk

I just mainly want to remove Facebook as a system app and remove it's automatic updates and just reinstall it on play store as a regular app lol. I did try a couple root uninstallers and the failed to remove anything from the system. Also used a file manager with root and the results were the samr. The phone automatically resets when there's an attempt at removing system apps. I'll try to get a logcat for ya

I removed it all without any tools except for adb and it doesn't come back. Here is the code I used.
Code:
adb shell
su
cp -r /oem/app/FcbkAppManagerSprint /sdcard
cp -r /oem/app/FacebookStubSprint /sdcard
cp -r /oem/priv-app/FcbkInstallerSprint /sdcard
cp -r /oem/priv-app/LookoutSprint /sdcard
cp -r /data/app/com.ironsource.appcloud.oobe-mMdx9tUtxjFcQlRhjRmqrQ==/base.apk /sdcard
mount -o rw,remount /oem
mount -o rw,remount /data
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -rf /oem/app/FcbkAppManagerSprint
rm -rf /oem/app/FacebookStubSprint
rm -rf /oem/priv-app/FcbkInstallerSprint
rm -rf /oem/priv-app/LookoutSprint
rm -rf /data/app/com.ironsource.appcloud.oobe-mMdx9tUtxjFcQlRhjRmqrQ==
reboot
If you run all of those command it will backup your annoying APK's to the /sdcard folder if you need them later and then delete the originals and then it reboots your device.
The ironsource appcloud apk is the thing that reinstalls the Sprint bloatware apps over and over again, so removing or disabling that is key to keeping the crap gone.

Hi, can you post your stockboot.img file that you backed up during step 4? I can modify that and then I see if we can make it work for the XT1922-5 as well.

If you managed to get the boost version onto sprint, in theory it should be eligible for a sim unlock w/50 days of service.
