Hero had a hardware fault w/ the SD slot(good thing too! I dropped it last week and had a bit of rub on the top left that was bothering the hell out of me)
Was going to go get it replaced tonight, but for some damn reason the RUU won't work.
I have the latest RUU(1.56?)
Tried with phone w/ and without USB debugging
Went into fastboot mode(which made W7 install drivers for Android 1.0?) yet the RUU still won't recognize the phone.
I'm not computer illiterate, I'm just having problems with this damn RUU.
Halp?
What's the error you're getting?
The RUU basically says like
"Finding your Android Device" for about 30 seconds then says it cannot find it.
error 170...
ahh we meet again
i've helped a few people through this but i don't want to spoil the fun..

I've read this before, I got it from geekfor.me
My windows 7 has the real administrator account enabled, running as administrator won't do anything.

ok.
basically my next question is do you want my help or not?
i know how to make it work for you, at least three other people have gotten it to run by following my directions.

Why wouldn't I want help?
ok try this.
type "adb devices"
if that sees your phone type reboot into fastboot then type "fastboot devices"
if that sees your phone then run the ruu
adb devices sees it.
boot into fastboot, fastboot devices sees it.
run the RUU, error 170 still >_<

For some of the people running into problems with Windows 7 you may want to try:
1. Right-click on the executable file "ARUWizard.exe" and then go to "properties"
2. I believe there is a tab called "Compatibility" or something, click on it.
3. there should be a place for you to click next to a "run this program in compatibility mode" put a check there
4. below that there should be a drop down box, try choosing "Windows XP SP3" (or something similar to that)
5. near the bottom should be a place to check "run as administrator" check that.
6. click "ok" and then try running the program again.
I'm in front of a windows xp computer right now, not windows 7, so excuse me if i don't remember the options correctly, but I should be pretty close.
I also don't even know if this will work, but it's definitely worth a shot.

Possible resolutions would be:
1) Putting it in to fast boot and trying it again. Check your error log if it fails and seeing if it identified your phone this time.
2) Open a command prompt and "cd" to the folder where your \sdk\tools\ folder and type in "adb devices" and hit enter and see if it sees your phone. If not then that's your problem. If it DOES see your phone then enter the following command
3) adb shell reboot oem-78 -- that will reboot your phone in to RUU-ready fastboot. If you had the RUU still open then close it. Then open it and try running again.

Just had a thought.. after updating my HTC Sync software the adb included with my RUU might be out of date. I copied adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and fastboot.exe from C:\AndroidSDK\Tools and overwrote the files in the RUU folder. Then I ran it without a hitch.. weird, eh?

Tried the first two things, neither helped
I figured out part of the problem though. I had to dig up some 64 bit drivers.
I got the RUU to recognize my phone and it sends it to the bootloader and gets stuck on Waiting for bootloader then errors 170 out.
I'll try copying the files over now.
Replacing those 3 files did the trick!
Thanks

no problem, when i did it i tried all of those steps at once, so i wasn't sure which one fixed it for me. so now (in theory) it should work for you on that machine every time.
wont run and get "ARUGlobal.dll can not be found" even tho im looking right at it....
Hello everyone! I'm writing because I need help rooting my KFHD 7".
I've read a lot of stuff and I'm kind of familiar with the topic now. This is my first android device though, so I'm still a noob with all of this.
I read a tutorial that said I needed some programs (QemuRoot, Root with restore by Bin4ry, Kindle Fire ADB Drivers).
The first step normally is to install the ADB drivers. Every time I try to install them a window opens and it starts the process, the bar loads completely and gives me an option to "Finish". Now, every time I click "Finish", another window opens and says "The drivers were not properly installed. Please install the drivers manually." I believe this is my main issue. Another thing is, I have no idea when to plug in/out my device... I don't know if I have to try to install the ADB thing when the Kindle's connected, etc. I tried to delete all the Kindle drivers on my pc to reinstall the ADB drivers, but I still get the same error...
Now, when I try to use the other programs, they say that my Kindle should open a dialog window asking if I want to restore my device, and that it will reboot in 10 secs. None of this happens. I just want to root my Kindle so I can use GooglePlay and download some good stuff. Also, I don't live in the US so I pretty much can't use my Kindle for anything. I even paid for Amazon Prime and I can't enjoy Amazon Instant Video (streaming series, etc) because of some geographical restrictions... IF any of you would know a workaround... Thanks

The first step is to get the ADB Driver installed.
The following ADB Driver was provided by Amazon and should install: Kindle Fire ADB drivers
If not, I have an alternative driver here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/usb_driver.zip
The alternative driver originates from the Android SDK and is universal for just about any Android device.
Extract the alternative driver to your desktop and follow the install instructions at the bottom of this response.
The instructions are for Windows XP but can be used with Windows 7 and Vista.
Once we get ADB installed then let's plugin the Kindle to your computer to see if it initializes properly.
Reply once you have done this step OR respond with the error OR where you are stuck. We will get you on Google Play!
Amazon Notes regarding this ADB Driver can be found here: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html
ALTERNATIVE DRIVER INSTALL (Vista/XP/Windows7):
Windows XP
To install the Android USB driver on Windows XP for the first time:
1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows will detect the device and launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
2. Select Install from a list or specific location and click Next.
3. Select Search for the best driver in these locations; un-check Search removable media; and check Include this location in the search.
4. Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located on your desktop \usb_driver\.)
5. Click Next to install the driver.
Or, to upgrade an existing Android USB driver on Windows XP with the new driver:
1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
2. Right-click on My Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
3. Select Device Manager in the left pane.
4. Locate and expand Android Phone in the right pane.
5. Right-click Android Composite ADB Interface and select Update Driver. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
6. Select Install from a list or specific location and click Next.
7.Select Search for the best driver in these locations; un-check Search removable media; and check Include this location in the search.
8. Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located on your desktop \usb_driver\.)
9.Click Next to upgrade the driver.

Thanks for replying! The first ADB Driver (provided by Amazon) is the one that has given me the same error every time... something about an error and me installing the drivers manually (I have no idea how to do). The second link (dropbox) is broken... So right off the bat I'm stuck. The thing is, when I go to device manager, my Kindle Fire says "Android Composite ADB Interface"... I thought I already had ADB, but it appears that no matter what I do I can't get it to work... I don't have SDK or anything like that, though I'm downloading it to see if anything works...

OK, stop there. Even though it gave you an install error, it looks like the driver is installed. So let's move forward assuming they are functioning enough to get the job done.
Leave the Kindle plugged into USB and move on to my step-by-step which can be found 3/4 the way down on this Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064633

Thanks again. So I have the tool run with restore by bin4ry v18. When I open the folder, there is a RunMe.bat. I right click on it and click on run as administrator. It starts up and I write 1 to use normal mode. When it says that my Kindle should ask me for "restore", my Kindle is sitting there, doing nothing. It doesn't ask me for a restore. Then it says that my device will reboot in 10 seconds... My Kindle, again, does nothing. So that doesn't work... Now, I did another thing. I shift-right-clicked on the inside of the folder and clicked open command window here, then on the cmd that opened up I wrote "runme.bat" So it started the thing again, asked me for the number, etc. I write 1, and then this comes up (and it's stuck there): "Cheking if i should run in Normal Mode or special Sony Mode Please connect your device with USB-Debugging enabled now Waiting for device to shop up, if nothing happens please check if Windoes ADB-drivers are installed correctly!" Now, I have ADB turned ON on my Kindle. I also have the "Install apps" ON on my Kindle... Any suggestions?

I see the problem. The way you are executing the batch files will cause the utilities to fail. You can not run the batch files (RunMe.bat and RootQemu.bat) through the mouse, you must execute them through a CMD Prompt.
OK, let's start from the top.
Let's make sure all the utilities are on your desktop.

Thanks for the reply. As I said in the previous post, I had already done the "shift right click and open windows command here" thing. It doesn't work. This is where it gets to and stays there forever "Cheking if i should run in Normal Mode or special Sony Mode Please connect your device with USB-Debugging enabled now Waiting for device to shop up, if nothing happens please check if Windoes ADB-drivers are installed correctly!" Now, I have ADB turned ON on my Kindle. I also have the "Install apps" So I'm stuck right at the first step... Doesn't matter what way I run the batch files I can't get them to work.

Let's check the ADB communication path on your workstation.
Open a command prompt at the root of the Qemu folder, type:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
The next command will probably fail, but let's try it:
Code:
android update adb
Finally, try:
Code:
adb shell
Reply back with the results.

I did adb start-server and it said "daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037. daemon started succesfully"
I did adb devices and it said "list of devices attached" and then a blank space after that..
I did android update adb and it said "android is not a recognized internal or external command"
I did adb shell and it said "device not found"
I did all of that in the QemuRoot folder.. Am I doing it right? I double click on the folder to open it and then I click on the white space below all the files (while holding shift) and open the command window.

Yes, you did this perfectly.
Hmmmm, looks like the ADB Driver is NOT working, bummer.
We need to focus on getting the driver functional.
Step 1) Go into Windows Add/Remove Software, find the Android ADB Driver, Uninstall the driver. If you can not find the driver in Add/Remove, then use the Uninstall Utility found in the Qemu folder "Drivers".
Step 2) Remove the Kindle from USB. Reboot the PC.
Step 3) Plug the Kindle back into USB after startup.
Step 4) When the PC has completed the reboot cycle, let's try to install the driver manually using the driver inside the usb_driver folder. Follow my instructions performing a manual driver install.

I deleted everything, I rebooted my PC, plugged in my Kindle and it started to install the Kindle drivers... (the normal ones)... It got an error and the driver didn't install... I got to manage under "computer" and i see "other devices" and under that it says "kindle" with a yelow exclamation mark... I go to its properties and drivers, I click update driver and use the folder that you gave me (usb_driver) and it gives me an error, saying that it could not find drivers... now do I set it to install the driver in C:\Users\Name\Desktop\usb_driver? or after usb_driver should I add \amd65 or \i386?
Thanks for your help... I don't know why nothing is working out!!
By the way, i just tried to install the adb drivers again and I got the same error... saying I have to install them manually. I ran both the bin4ry v18 and the qemuroot and both got stuck at "*daemon started successfully*" and they just sit there doing nothing...

I thought I was going crazy. I knew it had to be something simple. You must have downloaded these utilities (Qemu and Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17) from the developers site and not our site. Our utilities include the latest ADB daemons
which are dated 11/05/2012 11:06AM.
This is your problem.
Please use our utilities:
Kindle_Fire_HD_ADB_Drivers
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17
Qemu
Then go back to our step-by-step instructions. The ADB driver is probably fine, so you can probably bypass that step.

Genius!!! It went smoothly, I did all the steps on the bin4ry and then qemu, and it said you now have root! How do I now if I actually have root? I don't see any different app in my kindle, I think I should have something like superuser?

I guess it was too good to be true... there's no superuser.apk in the apps folder.. what to do? I already tried rooting it again and it said that i was rooted again
EDIT: I just woke up and tried again. Instead of usin first the root with restore and second the qemu, I used root with restore twice. Now I have a different app called SuperSU... It isn't Superuser though... It has a picture of the android robot wiith a cape flying... I opened but I have no idea what to do with it!
It worked for the error that you are having.
Hello i just read your post.. before continue sorry about my English is not perfect but i will try to to explain hot to explain the "solution"..
ok the first thing you need to do,is uninstall all the ADB drivers from the device manager.
after that you have to restart your PC..

Are you on 32bit? I included 64bit.
I like that you moved it to General!!!
I always thought that the DEVELOPMENT threads should be only used for KERNELS/ROMS
THANK YOU
Hey man, thanks for the instructions but could you clarify that you have to restart/boot up completely after unlocking the bootloader? I was still in fastboot after unlocking it when I flashed TWRP, and now TWRP is asking for a password, failing on all operations and I'm stuck in a bootloop.

Dang Dude, I am sorry. I just went ahead and put that in. :/
I want to help you with this.
Can you get into the boot loader or anything? Maybe if you can get TWRP working, I can send you a Nandroid of a stock, one (Once I get mine )

Just found the solution in another thread: Open TWRP, Format Data first, then Factory Reset, finally reboot. I knew it wasn't a long term problem but I'm glad I didn't have to wait for Google to release Factory Images lol.

I don't know... I have Windows 7. I also have NO IDEA why this would happen... Try using a port on the back of the PC (desktop) . If that doesn't do it, try USB 3.0 (if you have it). Also, if you are using the Stock cord, try other cords. That is all I can think of... :/

There is a way to disable driver verification after rebooting in windows 8. I had to do this with my SGSIII and Win 8 x64, just google around for it, bet that's the problem.

Wait how would you do this on mac? Does the same .zip file work or would I need a different one? If you get it working please post a tutorial!
Looks like SuperSU came with the TWRP image(no need to copy it over separately). I tried to reboot from TWRP after updating the recovery and it forced me to flash SuperSU to root.

working great! thanks OP
The current project I am trying to work on is trying to get USB mode to work on a rooted NST with NookManager. I have found a guide somewhere else, but it requries pushing boot and uimage files from ADB. I have tried everything I could, even using Ubuntu in Vbox but I haven't been successsful yet. For whatever reason, the USB isn't being read in Vbox-Ubuntu correctly and can't be mounted.
I have done everything I could to install the USB drivers on Windows properly, but I haven't had any luck. I have scoured the forums, but I couldn't find anything. What I need help is how to uninstall what I have reinstall correctly. I have tried the uninstall fuction in device manager but if there is a better way of doing this I haven't found anything. Can anyone help? Point me in the right direction at least? I hope if i can at least get the drivers installed correctly and adb devices to read it properly, I can figure out how to do everything else. It's just that one hurdler I'm having issues with.
I am running win 8.1 pro but willing to use ubuntu if necessary.
I should also mention what I have done. I Have altered the android_winusb.inf and the adb_usb.ini files, which sort of worked, but I still have yellow exclamations ove the device names.
Well, what do the Yellow Warnings say?
The first step is to get the category in Device Manage "Android Devices" (or "Android Phones") with a device listed under it.
If you have yellow, what driver does it say it has loaded?
It should be using WinUSB.sys
What does it say when you try to reload drivers?
If it suggest "Composite USB Device" accept that.
If you are using the latest version of adb.exe (819,200 bytes) it will already have the vendor ID in it for Nook.
You will not have to modify adb_usb.ini (not that it will hurt anything).
The first step is to get the driver installed (obviously).
abd.exe should be able to connect.
If you have a problem you could try omaplink.exe as an independent check of ADB.

Well to say the least, it's mess
Anyhow, the category is "Other Devices - Nook SimpleTouch"
Driver Provider: Unkown
When I try reinstalling it says:
Windows found driver software for you device but encounterd an error while attempting to install it.
Android Composite ADB InterfaceThe system cannot find the file specifiedI have done the Advance Restart for Win 8 that disables the driver signatures and I still get this message.
The modified .inf file has to be where it was originally.
That is, in the same directory as:
Code:
android_winusb.inf
i386\WdfCoInstaller01009.dll
i386\winusbcoinstaller2.dll
i386\WUDFUpdate_01009.dll

It's in the adt-bundle folder under ~sdk/extras/google/usb_driver. Should it be in the i386 folder?
I just meant that you can't take android_winusb.inf from where it was, edit it, plunk it down somewhere else and try to run it from there.
I don't know about "adt-bundle".
Do those 4 files listed above appear together in the same relative positions?
When you try to update the driver keep saying NO until you get to the "Have disk" button.
Renate, your questions helped me figure it out.
Yes all the files are where they are suppose to be in the same relative position that you outlined.
So i did this to get the "Have Disk Button"
I first did a right click "Update Driver software
1. Browse for driver on computer.
2. Clicked "let me pick from a list of device drivers"
3. A windows that says "Select your device type from the list below:"
4. List gives options includes Show all devices, ADB Interface, Android Device
5. I chose Android Device: It gave me a selection of devices and Nook Android Interface was there. I selected that and installed.
6. I then went to the command tutorial and typed in adb devices and I got the serial numbers.
I wrote this out for future refence for myself, and in the hopes it will help someone else.
thank you so much Renate! You were a huge help! I can't wait to start using your USB Host!

I actually meant saying even more Nos until an actual "Have Disk" button appears.
Window caches the driver inf files and you could have had a bad one.
Hi guys and girls...
I just recieved my new phone a few days ago. Plugged it into an old Windows 7 x64 laptop and Windows instantly updated the driver. On a 2016 Dell E7450 Windows 10 x64 laptop... It didn't. Tried the Google USB drver package, but it didn't work either. Windows reports about a problem with an INF file and doesn't finalize the driver install...
I just saw someone reported the same issue in Q/A. I thought it would be a good idea to write a step by step guide.

Awesome, thanks! After several months with my phone, this just happened to me yesterday and I couldn't figure it out. The Google USB driver reinstall didn't work for me either, but this did!
As a suggestion, it's quicker to get to Device Manager by right clicking on the gear icon (Start) and selecting Device Manager.

Thank you Soo much. It worked exactly like it says in the OP.
This guide doesn't work anymore. MTP Device and MTP USB Device are no longer the menu options. Uninstalling the device doesn't work. You just end up with the exact same MTP with the exclamation point as before.

Thank you sooo much :victory:, I actually didn't have the wpdmtp.inf in C:\Windows\Inf but I had this folder (link) containing a couple of android drivers and there was wpdmtp.inf file in it, I right clicked and installed it and VOILLAA!!... :laugh: everything went perfect after that. If for any reason you still face MTP problems after this I would recommend to do a manual installation of MTP drivers by going to "Device Manager", click MTP entry with exclamation then "Update Driver Software"->"Browse my computer for driver", navigate to the folder location where you extracted the drivers (link).... you should be done after that. If otherwise you face a problem along the lines of "section in this INF is invalid" while doing manual installation dreboot your PC and find the wpdmtp.inf again, right click then install and you would have fixed your problem. :good:
THANKS!
Oh man! Finally, FREAKING FINALLY, I found a solution that works. Thank u so so so much.
Thank you! This tip worked for me!
I have been having this issue for almost a year, if I wanted pictures and files from my phone, I had to get them from the cloud. Today was the first time in a very long time, that I was able to just copy over files from the phone again from Windows Explorer. THANK YOU!
trying these methods is still failing for me... shows "Pixel" in device manager.. if I try to update drive.. it says either can't find.. or failed...
and if i turn on Transfer Files.. Device manager shows ADB and MTP under "Other" but both fail when trying to update drivers..
