Ive been to a dozen websites... everyone has a copy paste basically of the method. I've altered adb_usb.ini with the 0x1949 and altered the android_winusb in the correct places but when I attempt to update the drivers under my device manager my kindle is listed under Disk drives... not "other" etc like everyone tells me to look for.. and attempting to update the driver results in telling me I already have the best driver. I am unable to find my kindle with an adb devices even after multiple starting and killings of the server. I uninstalled the android sdk and reinstalled and redownloaded everything but still no luck. Please help. I'm far from a master but this is not my first rodeo having rooted 3 android phones.
Idk how you do it on other oses but on windows 7 it's:
Device manager, right click, update driver, let me choose, let me pick, have disk, c:\<path to win_usb.inf>

aye the problem is it believes it already has the best drivers for the job and won't accept android_winusb.inf as it's superior
Download Kindle Utility and run install-drivers.bat

I just discovered that and was very hopeful but it replied
This version of C:\Users\*\Desktop\Kindle Fire Utility\tools\x64\devcon.exe
is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your compute
r's system information to see whether you need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) ve
rsion of the program, and then contact the software publisher.
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.25
I'm on Vista.. assumed it would have worked
edit: its possible that the x86 worked and the x64 failed.. but the fact remains my device remains un-found. If I wasn't balding I'd be tearing out my hair.
Thank you to those who have tried to help however.
i had this problem earlier but my friend fixed it! when he wakes up ill have him post the solution
now i have superuser apk on system but no root and adb said success!! wtf
Jcase fixed my su problem i wasnt pushing the su with adb
congrats, im still messing with things but running out of options on my end.
Try running the batch file from an administrator command prompt. Also delete any existing device in devmgmt.msc. I'm also on Vista, worked ok for me.

i attempted the driver batch as administrator... it oddly doesn't make it as far as without.. it just says the system can not find the path specified 4 or 5 times then stops. And I've attempted to delete the kindle from disk drives which is the only location it shows up but as soon as i plug it in again it re-installs.
Edit: a side note.. i have a "Android Phone" in my device manager that appears to be my kindle and is using the 0x1949 drivers... I assumed it was my actual phone but it disappears/reappears when i unplug my kindle
Thanks to everyone who helped, by the grace of god i got my device recognized ... got it rooted... then bricked it installing TWRP.. finally unbricked it... and now I'm not messing with it for the rest of the night lol
Ok so I am new hear and I was reading in THIS POST about installing TWRP using the Kindle Fire Utility. So I installed the drivers as directed and I see in my device manager "android ADB device" and in my taskbar I can eject the kindle. In File Manager I do not see the Kindle fire and the Kindle Fire Utility is not seeing my Kindle Fire. I am stuck and cannot post in the above forum because I have not made enough posts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to install Cynogen Mod to my Kindle fire to be able to access the full capabilities of this wonderful device.
Thank you
a good method to start is using kfu as you suggested but there are some tricks to get it running:
- place it to c:\ and rename it to "kfu" (it don't like spaces in pathname)
- try to install the correct drivers by running install_drivers.bat else install/update them manually:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21720811&postcount=41
- pay attention on the driver verification level:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22065426&postcount=846
- the drivers are in c:\kfu\drivers\kindle
- right drivers for each mode:
normal & recovery boot -> android composite adb interface
fastboot -> android adb interface
once you got rid of the drivers you have to update the run.bat of kfu to work with burritoroot3:

now you should be good to go ...
Thank you BB3 I will give this a try later tonight. appreciate the help
man install buritoroot and TWRP(which installs and FireFireFire) by yourself when i tried with the kindle fire utility all got were errors, but when i installed it by myself everythink went smooth. Just find separate guide for every step
1.Root
2.TWRP and FireFireFire
3.CM7
I'm having the same problem as you and it sucks I just want to root it
Hate to necro post, but I'm having the same issue and none of the posted suggestions work. I have the ADB drivers installed (the Kindle is detected as "Android Composite ADB Interface"), but I did not install the drivers using the KFU batch file; I could never get it to stop producing the unsigned error, no matter what system settings I chose for unsigned drivers. I ended up doing a manual driver install and directing the installer at the driver files that came with KFU. Now KFU refuses to "see" the Kindle connected to my system and therefore I can't do a thing with it. I am able to browse the Kindle files in Windows Explorer (should I be able to? I've seen conflicting answers to this), but KFU always reports its ADB status as "Offline". Soft disconnecting the Kindle (hitting the "Disconnect" button on the Kindle) doesn't change anything, except removes my ability to browse the Knidle files (no surprise there).
This is a fully updated (6.3) Kindle and Windows XP. I did attempt to manually do what KFU does automagically prior to finding out about KFU, but that effort produced similar results; the Kindle was never detected by the SDK tools, despite the drivers loading properly. I have also tried multiple USB ports on my system, but they all produced the same results. About the only thing I haven't tried is a different USB cable, but if the Kindle is able to be "seen" by the OS correctly, I don't think the cable is a problem.
Have you tryed rebooting your computer? http://liliputing.com/2012/03/root-...ogle-play-store-with-kindle-fire-utility.html or http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=mwMHIkX20YI&v=mwMHIkX20YI&gl=US nat3mil gives good instruction it helps to watch the video do the step while paused then move onto the next its how I did it the first time the second time I just used the utility was easy peasy cause drivers were already installed and functional
Yeah, I followed those exact instructions and video, with no results. Reboot doesn't make any difference, KFU still can't see the device.

If you followed the instructions to the t like not plugging in your device until you have the drivers installed .then you may have something on your computer preventing adb try the 6.2.2 method
http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?desktop_uri=/watch?v=AZ88CYWv0FU&v=AZ88CYWv0FU&gl=US or just keep looking for something that works cause people miss steps all the time sometimes its persistence or trial and error that gets results I'm very surprised your not seeing anything in device manager that applies to your kindle mine installed some drivers immediately when I connected it I had to change them to root it but it did show up in the list of devices as well as appearing next to my c drive as a kindle for SD card access but I'm on windows seven anything I connect does something.
No, Device Manager sees everything fine, it's KFU that refuses to see it. I am getting both a Kindle storage device and an Android ADB device in Device Manager, as well as seeing the Kindle as a removable drive in Windows Explorer. The old 6.2.2 instructions are of no help, that's what I tried the first time I attempted to root the device before the 6.3 update and I got the same exact results. I don't know what on my machine could possibly be interfering, this is a very barebones XP, I don't even run anti-virus on it.

Could be your machine but don't use the utility and when you do put twrp on if ya get there use 2.0 the older version people are having trouble with the new one http://www.techtuple.com/477/how-to-root-kindle-fire-6-3-easily/ this is done through cmd without utility. Original thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568340
About all the advice I can give you all else fails use another computer windows 7 machine things are more straight forward than xp
Edit: just a side note a lot of people are bricking their devices I keep remembering the Christmas story be careful you'll shoot your eye out also some people I believe are having success opening kfu attaching thier fire while off then powering up the kindle
I read somewhere that the utility doesn't work for xp wish I could find the post I think you need to push the files the old way using command prompt and you will get it sounds like your drivers are there but utility is useless
If your device isn't recognized it is a driver issue, regardless of whether your computer says they are installed or not.
Scrap your current drivers and start fresh using the tutorial posted here:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/13/how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver/
Forget about KFU, get Android SDK and set up the drivers yourself. Learn to use fastboot to manually change your bootmode manually through command prompt. It will save you hours of heartache in the future.
Reinstall your (non KFU) drivers and try again.

this is all in command prompt at this point I could paste in commands and root my kindle run this test to verify drivers are correctly installed if you dont see this try again on driver installation.
First time i've ever rooted a kindle and i had the same problem.
To fix this just go to device manager and uninstall the driver and then unplug and replug in your kindle then run the utility.
oh no trouble at all rooting rooted rommed and rockin here took the 6.3 ota this morning with 5 mins I was rooted with fff twrp then went back to 1 of my restore points of cm7 after a backup of 6.3 thanx tho

This will only work if the device is booted to a point where it will receive adb commands. Otherwise, use "fastboot devices". Sometimes if you are stuck at the bootloader it helps to shut your device down completely and restart before issuing fastboot commands.
Beyond that, it's a driver issue.

New developer, working on my own custom rom
I've been trying to root this thing for about 3 hours now. I'm on Windows XP and I can't get my kindle to be recognized in adb. I've tried updating my drivers in SDK and still no dice. All the guides appear to be for windows 7. Nothing I do is working. I've rooted several devices including tablets in the past but this one is almost impossible. All I want is the android market on my kindle.

Uhm... I'm not so sure about windows XP when it comes to automatically searching for drivers, but turning on the USB debugging setting might get windows to download everything necessary for adb to recognize the device. It worked on my phone, when I couldn't find the drivers... Just turned on USB debugging under "developer options," and windows got to work right away. Rooted it no problem.
using xp is the best choice - you dont have to care about 32/64bit and the uac (user access control)
hope this helps you to get rid of the drivers:

as described in the linked post it's a good practice to move and rename kfu to c:\ that it is c:\kfu - it don't like spaces in pathname
the error message looks stange because "and" is no command - would try to redownload it
if it says "findstr" is not recognized as command then check your path varible - it should include c:\windows\system32
furthermore i use to run the batch files from the command prompt - cd to c:\kfu and type install_drivers.bat - the same with run.bat
It took three computers but I finally rooted the kindle.

I tried installing both acer a500 drivers from their website, when i go to device manager i see iconia, with an exclaimation point.
I've tried using the google usb driver, even tried adding:
;ACER Iconia Tab A500
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0502&PID_3325
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0502&PID_3325&MI_01
to android_winusb.inf
Any help please?
Try doing a manual install through device manager.
AKA: Don't let windows look for the driver. Use the other option, and it should give you a list of "possible" drivers. Generally you will get a warning saying "this doesn't look to be compatible....blah blah blah" Ignore it.
MD
managed to go through some convoluted way to disable driver signature enforcement
managed to install the google usb driver, for my a500
then did the same with the apx
blackthund3r a500 apx flash utility still didnt work asking for acer drivers
i tried installing both versions of the driver numerous times. no luck.
help?! lol
Try the Google Drivers. Just google "Android USB Drivers". Should be the first result. It's about a 65mb download.
Also, seeing you are about to do what I "think" you are going to do, it's best to go ahead and download and install the Android SDK, then the google drivers. (considering you are in the SDK pages anyhow). You will need the fastboot and adb commands if your flashing doesn't go as expected.
Then manually install the google drivers like I stated earlier.
With the tab in APX mode, do the manual install through device manager like I stated. You should get a choice for APX or Recovery driver, or something or other. Ignore the warnings.

Windows 8 is not officially released yet and that could be the reason you couldn't install the driver. Did you create dual boot (i.e., Windows 7 and Windows 8) in your PC? You should have dual boot specially when trying Windows beta version.
Had exactly the same issue last night, apx simply does not work on win 8 yet as soon as a switched to win 7 with the same driver pack it worked fine
Use the acer driver installer then point device manager at that folder

I have the same problem. I contacted about it, but they couldn't give me the information I needed. So I opened the driver information in device manager and found that the part of the drivers that was for APX mode wasn't compatible, but it happened to work int Windows 8 Consumer Preview. It only worked on that one computer though.
My advice is to find someone with a Windows 7 computer and use that for what you need to do.

Why need to find someone who has Windows 7 while it is easier to partition your PC's hard drive and then install Windows 7 and you will have both OS, Windows 7 and 8, with dual boot. And BTW, don't mess someone's PC when it is not necessary and you don't want them to blame you if something goes wrong with their PC.

You can use virtualization solution, like free virtualbox, and run Windows 7 inside Windows 8. With usb support in virtualbox you can set that your tablet is visible to virtualized Windows 7 instead of your host system.

Either use your retail disc, or if it came with your machine, use your recovery disc. If you didn't get a recovery disc and it was instead a recovery partition, you can request a recovery disc from the OEM.
All of this told me ( and I am sure others) virtually nothing. I have seen reference to Acer drivers, adb drivers and APX drivers. I really don't understand the difference, what I need, or how I get them.
All of this Windows 7/8 discussion is very confusing!
@Tennessee
It means win+8 is next to useless for using any of the flash tools until Acer provides driver support. Stick with win7/xp if you're needing to update bootloaders or unbrick via EUU etc
So for my very first post here on XDA, I though I'd contribute. I would have posted this in the developer forum or even as a reply to Kindle Fire Utility thread, but I got the standard "you're a noob" and can't post here message.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
Kindle Fire Utility tries to install its own drivers, but I got an interesting message claiming
"The current language is not supported by the device driver installation wizard"
And manually trying to install the driver through the hardware resource manager will tell you that either the driver file is corrupt and can not be installed or that the driver file is not designed for the device... ie... It's basically useless.
The solution was to install obtain adt-bundle-windows-x86x_64-20130219 which I either got from Amazon's developers page or Google Android's developers page. To be honest, I was trying to obtain so much information about my Amazon Kindle Fire (1st Generation) and how to unlock it, from so many places that I'm not 100% sure from which source I got the correct driver.
What I am sure about is the driver provided by Kindle Fire Utility didn't work for me. And I don't expect Amazon or Google to make it easy for people to root their devices. It seems as soon as people find away to do so.... These companies patch it up quickly.
So allow me to share with you the drivers that did allow me to install this on Windows 8 Pro 64bit (I do include the 32 bit drivers as well).
In my case I was trying to "reset" an Amazon Kindle Demonstration Model. This is not to be confused with a Kindle in demo mode, but rather a demonstration unit which came with only a locked down version of Amazon's Rom. One which has not settings option or wifi option... ie... Clicking on either will tell you that you have a demonstration unit and there are no settings to play with.
I purchased mine on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290870029962
You want to first install the Amazon Driver, then the USB Driver (in that order).
DRIVERS = http://www.sociallyuncensored.eu/_files_/amazon-usb-drivers.zip
From there I ran the tool and selected "Install Permanent Root with Superuser".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
Once that was done I simply booted from the boot menu into the root and wiped all. This basically formated my kindle. Mounted the kindle and uploaded the update.zip file which you obtain from option 6, then 7. Proceeded to have it install. Upon rebooting my Kindle I had a fully functional Amazon Kindle Fire (1st Generation).
Not bad for my 1st post, eh?
Thank you very much OP!
I was really having a hard time to install the drivers on a Windows 8 Pro 64bit PC and your driver worked beautifully!
As you have mentioned KFU drivers won't install on Win 8 64. I wasn't even getting the language error, it was just refusing to install the drivers.
Thanks again!!!
I had 1 person contact me on my site, where the drivers are hosted (SociallyUncensored.eu) and claimed that
"its best to use the drivers that come with the utility"
I would personally disagree as those never worked for me, even when following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179748
The closest I got it to working using that guide, with those original drives from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
Told me that it had no hardware id (code 10). I think I got another error as well, but I don't recall what it was.....
But if you're one of those people who "really" want to work at it.... I guess you could try the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179748
The drivers I posted seem to work better.
Thanks for your contribution. Keep it up.

It's not. I've downloaded it and extracted this 3x (on different computers too). I had to format once and forgot to backup this and so my only source was the download.
Install 7zip - 7-zip.org
Download again.
Problem solved.
If its still corrupt, contact your ISP (internet service provider) or check your hardware... You're getting a poor download because your connection sucks. And that's outside my scope (willingness) to help.

If you don't know how to install drivers either using an install program or manually using the inf files .... Rooting a Kindle is not the first thing on your "to do list". Learn how to use drivers, before rooting devices.

Lucky you. Could it be related to the pro edition? Or perhaps the kfu 9.9? I tried a couple of months ago, and I had trouble. (win8, kfu eirlier version)

It has to do with disabling enforcement

I took care of that first thing, and then had other obstacles.

Everybody says they cannot install their drivers on Windows 8. I'm running Windows 8 Pro 64 bit and KFU installs the drivers just as it should after disabling driver signature enforcement. All I did to install mine was disable driver signature enforcement then reboot and run the install_drivers.bat and it successfully installed.

+1 to this, it did take a while until figured it out but after disabled it worked like a charm.
What needs to be done on windows 8 is do an advanced restart to disable driver signature enforcement

So for my very first post here on XDA, I though I'd contribute. I would have posted this in the developer forum or even as a reply to Kindle Fire Utility thread, but I got the standard "you're a noob" and can't post here message.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
Kindle Fire Utility tries to install its own drivers, but I got an interesting message claiming
"The current language is not supported by the device driver installation wizard"
And manually trying to install the driver through the hardware resource manager will tell you that either the driver file is corrupt and can not be installed or that the driver file is not designed for the device... ie... It's basically useless.
The solution was to install obtain adt-bundle-windows-x86x_64-20130219 which I either got from Amazon's developers page or Google Android's developers page. To be honest, I was trying to obtain so much information about my Amazon Kindle Fire (1st Generation) and how to unlock it, from so many places that I'm not 100% sure from which source I got the correct driver.
What I am sure about is the driver provided by Kindle Fire Utility didn't work for me. And I don't expect Amazon or Google to make it easy for people to root their devices. It seems as soon as people find away to do so.... These companies patch it up quickly.
So allow me to share with you the drivers that did allow me to install this on Windows 8 Pro 64bit (I do include the 32 bit drivers as well).
In my case I was trying to "reset" an Amazon Kindle Demonstration Model. This is not to be confused with a Kindle in demo mode, but rather a demonstration unit which came with only a locked down version of Amazon's Rom. One which has not settings option or wifi option... ie... Clicking on either will tell you that you have a demonstration unit and there are no settings to play with.
I purchased mine on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290870029962
You want to first install the Amazon Driver, then the USB Driver (in that order).
DRIVERS = http://www.sociallyuncensored.eu/_files_/amazon-usb-drivers.zip
From there I ran the tool and selected "Install Permanent Root with Superuser".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
Once that was done I simply booted from the boot menu into the root and wiped all. This basically formated my kindle. Mounted the kindle and uploaded the update.zip file which you obtain from option 6, then 7. Proceeded to have it install. Upon rebooting my Kindle I had a fully functional Amazon Kindle Fire (1st Generation).
Not bad for my 1st post, eh?
