In TWRP or in the OS, my KF is not mounting the USB like it should. Re-installed drivers and reboots a bunch of times. No luck. I rooted with BurritoRoot, then installed TWRP, and it was running fine. Then I get this. In TWRP now, I have the USB mounted and windows even says "Eject Kindle" but it's nowhere to be found as a drive. Even shows up in the "Devices and Printers" window, but it's just not there... Been through two computers trying to figure this one out...
Wifi File Explorer works and I just verified the cord works with my Evo 3D...
Try uninstalling the drivers first, rebooting, then attach the Kindle and install the drivers. You can uninstall in device manager.
In TWRP, I was getting Cannot load E:\misc! Now I did a reboot and TWRP isnt there anymore...
I've always gotten the /misc error, so that is unrelated. Try the latest Kindle Fire Utility and see if you can get it back. You don't need mass storage to work to use adb as long as your device is recognized by the drivers.
WOOHOOOO!! That did it!! You da man, thanks! Gonna try to run KFU now and see how that goes... Ive always messed with HTC phones, Evo and Evo 3D for my family and friends, this one seems to be a little more involved to get going, but thanks to you, my friend, Im back in business!
KFU is working great, installing gapps as we speak, thanks again, ramige!!

So I was using the Kindle Fire Utility to root my Kindle, and that went perfectly, then I installed, the gapps, and that worked perfectly. But I planned to install CM7 on it so attempted to use the install recovery image option. (knowing now that it was broken and it was updated as I was performing this). SO it would go into a boot loop, so I was confused and tried to get it to boot in recovery with no progress. So I tried to see if it could even boot into anything besides normal, so I tried to boot it to fastboot, and now it's stuck on the Kindle Fire boot screen with no flashing.
So, I was freaking out, thinking I bricked my Kindle, and I read around, and noticed that the Utility was updated, but when I launched it I realized that it said offline. So I checked the drivers and it said "Code 10 Error" under device manager. So I uninstalled the drivers, and tried to re-install them. The computer see's my Kindle as an Unknown device, and when I plug it in it says that the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it. So, when I try to update the drivers for the unknown device I get "The Folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your devices." Even though it does, and if I try to do it another way it says "The Driver is up to date."
I didn't mess with any permissions, or anything like that I just tried to get it to boot in recovery or in fastboot, and it's stuck and now my computer can't recognize it.
Am I SOL? Did I brick it permanently?
Any suggestions would be great. Thank you all for your help.
Manually install the drivers by selecting them from the list (don't tell Windows to automatically search for them).

Here is the exact way to re-install the drivers again if you did not do so already...
- Go to start Menu and right click on computer, Click manage
- In computer Management hit device manager
- I am guessing that you see your kindle connected in there with a yellow ! by it
- Right click on kindle and update driver software
- Click Browse my computer for driver software
- Click let me pick from the list of device drivers on my comp
- Click Next
- Click Have Disk
- Click Browse
- Navigate to your user folder in that window/ or wherever your .android folder is
- Double click on .android folder
- Double click on Driver Folder
- Now Click open
- Now click ok
- Click Next
- ClickInstall driver software anyway
You should be good now!!
Click that thanks if I helped ya
Big thanks to Jcase for Burrito Root
I'm trying to root a Kindle Fire and I don't know why but I'm having alot of trouble getting ADB and drivers set up right on my laptop. I'm not sure which packages I need to install in SDK manager. When I try to use the adb command at a command prompt it says command not recognized and I'm thinking it's because I don't have the right packages installed or installed right.I didn't have to go through this when rooting a couple other phones I've done.

Thanks so much for the link. I ran it and I'm having a hard time getting it to recognize the device. It said it installed the correct drivers but when I attempt the temp root it will not recognize the device, make sure device is plugged in and turned on.
With kindle unplugged Go into ur comps device manager and remove the kindle fire...then install drivers. Then plug it back in. I had same problem. Windows auto installed some generic driver when I first plugged it in before installing correct driver. If still not working try a diff usb port on computer. Hope that helps
I finally got it. Thanks very much. I finally had to switch computers for some reason to get it to work.
I had it working about a hour ago and rooted with burritoroot, but now ADB can no longer see the tablet. Any ideas? So far I factory reset the tablet and I'm stuck. USB drivers installed, win.ini and no connection. Mass storage works but ADB is at a loss...
When I hook my phone up, ADB sees it no problem, when I hook up the Kindle, nothing.....
I'm pulling my hair out here..........
edit...........ok I'm a dumbass I fixed it by mistake.
you should try manually installing the drivers again sometimes it doesnt work all the time but if that doesnt work you should also try installing kindle fire utility and installing drivers from there
lol didnt see you awnser it yourself
Hi XDA. I have a problem and could use your help.
In order to make flashing ROM’s easier for myself I thought it would be a good idea to place them in the first folder listed on the internal sd card. In order to do this I placed a “.” befor the name of the folder. After wiping everything I learned CWM 5.8.1.8 (touch) does not see folders with dots(“.”) at the beginning. So I now am in recovery with no ROM to flash
I then proceeded to dig an even deeper hole for myself. In my attempts to install drivers for my device I have done something; now my computer fails to recognize that the device is plugged into the USB at all. Prior to my messing with it I would hear the USB input chime and Device Manager would show an “unknown device”. Now when I plug in my device nothing happens. I have tried two computers and both Win7 and Ubuntu.
I read that Linux might be able to see my device so I installed Ubuntu then the Android SDK as per this thread. It did not work for me. I still cannot see my tf101 but I can see my Nexus s with the “adb devices” command.
I bought my tf101 refurbished and can’t find the “B” version written on the device. I think I initially rooted with razorclaw...not %100 sure. I am not sure adb debugging was checked when I wiped...not sure it makes a difference at this point.
I am now looking at these NvFlash instructions but I can’t get past the 2nd step (I am a noob...obviously)
- run “./blobunpack recovery-clockwork-5.8.2.1-tf101.img” (Replace “recovery-clockwork-5.8.2.1-tf101.img” with the name of your downloaded file”)
Will this NvFlash tutorial work if the computer can’t see the device?
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time!
Try those steps from this website Reverting to Stock ROM (unroot and remove CWM recovery)
this is easier for you when u try to nvFlash your tf101. remember update driver, run as administrator on program
Thanks for the info!
I am away until tomorrow evening. I will try it then.
Hi,
I am still having problems.
Can I install drivers if the device is not listed in device manager? How?
Thanks again!
it will be reinstall or request when you unplug and plugin back your connect from tablet to PC
if your driver had been load or connected just go to Devices and Printers to check your connection, after that update your driver
Hi. Thanks for trying to help.
My problem is my computer is not seeing the device at all. No USB input chime. Nothing showing up in device manager. No nothing!
Could be the chord I guess but I don't think so. I was getting "unknown device" in device manager initially after I wiped the ROM. After attempts to install drivers I stopped getting any sign of the tf101 in device manager.
Ok, here goes my story.
Just a week ago from the date this was posted, I decided to update my recovery (TWRP) through ROM Installer. Surprisingly, I didn't see TWRP at all in the "Recoveries" section of the application. Stock, ClockworkMod Touch, regular Clockworkmod (no touch), and unofficial Clockworkmod were available - from what I can remember. I decided to use Clockworkmod (no touch) to install Paranoid Android. Coming from OmniROM, I factory reset and flashed the .zip.
Flashing ended in error with Status 7. A while before I had used ClockworkMod Touch to try another ROM and had no such issue. I ignored the error and restarted my tablet hoping that it would still boot fine. It rebooted, gave me the Google logo for about 5-10 seconds and automatically rebooted into recovery.
I saw a bypass for Status 7. Removing some lines from the updater-script was the solution. Having no access to my Nexus 7 storage, this bypass is unusable
I tried flashing a new recovery using flashboot fastboot. After verifying that I had my drivers installed (Universal ADB by Koush), I opened up adb in the command line (Windows) as an administrator. I could not see my device. I tried the drivers from Asus, multiple USB 2.0 ports, and a different USB cord, but same results. I tried on a different computer. Still no detection.
Systems used: Windows 8.1, Windows 7 (x64), Windows 7 (x86)
I tried using Wug's Toolkit and used Flash Stock + Unroot, since it didn't need USB Debugging enabled. Same results...
I also tried plugging in another Android phone (LG Optimus Dynamic II) to see if Windows would recognize it. Windows recognized it, installed drivers automatically, and was recognized in ADB immediately. This practically unknown phone (XDA doesn't have a section for it yet) could be recognized, but my world famous Nexus 7 2012 can't be seen.
I have absolutely no idea of what to do now...
Are you on the bootloader screen when trying to use fastboot?

Yes. Every time I use fastboot, I am in the bootloader.
I'm not new to this at all, so say whatever you need to ^^
The main problem is my PC not recognizing my Nexus 7 through adb. Again, I have used multiple cables with no success.
The computer I am using for this runs Windows 7 x64. I have only tried using USB 2.0 ports to connect my tablet.
Thank you!
Might try deleting the drivers and starting over. I had some issues with adb drivers for both the N7 and the kindle fire on windows 7 as well, but eventually got both working by doing this several times.
I'm assuming you ticked the option for softbricked when trying the flash stock option? If not try again and check that option.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 has a section on driver installation with good info and links too.
Hope that helps. Best of luck man, getting the adb drivers working properly seems to be finicky sometimes in my experience, and i'm no stranger to PC and software troubleshooting either.
