After flashing to CM7, its been impossible to get my kindle fire to show up as an ADB device under cmd or device manager. It only shows up as "Amazon kindle usb device." under disk drives. IS this normal?
enabling "usb debugging" in tablet tweaks settings should do it
I'm not seeing usb debugging under tablet tweaks.
Edit: its under development.
But thanks buddy! that did it!
thanks - did'nt know the exact location cause i don't have cm7

Great work on everything guys.
I managed to root my kindle with nate's guide on youtube. I also backed it up using TWRP 2. and installed cyanogen 7 mod successfully.
I am now enjoying my device. However, I wanted to transfer some files from my PC to my kindle fire and when I plug it in, it doesn't recognize it as a hard drive.
I've uninstalled/installed the drivers from the kindle utility several times and to no effect. I have also done the cmd check if the device is attached.
it notices the device but says it's offline.
C:\KindleADB>adb devices
List of devices attached
3D88000600000001 offline
I wanted to root and mod this device so I can use it as a tool for my work. (viewing video demos and pdf's)
with the mod successful I need help with this issue. I hope to get this solved soon. any ideas?
enable usb debugging in tablet tweaks settings
Hi All,
First post here, please be gentle! I don't think this issue is related to Glazed directly, so I'm posting it in this forum.
I installed Glazed ICS ROM on my Kindle Fire a few weeks ago. Yesterday I upgraded it to to 7/6 release. Afterwards, I tried connecting it to my Windows 7 PC. The driver is installed properly it seems (it shows up in Device Manager w/ no errors). I click "Turn on USB Storage" - however, it never shows up as a drive.
When I run the KFU - it says
"ADB Status: Offline
Boot Status: Unkown"
Thoughts? What other info do you need to help this poor fella out?!
Thanks for your help!

Try uninstalling the drivers you installed when you rooted it.(Android Composite Interface or whatever its called) That worked for me.
Also enable USB Debugging or whatever its called.
After uninstalling the drivers, plug in your Kindle. In the status bar you should see a usb icon. Click on it and turn on USB Storage or whatever ICS calls it.

Only drivers I found associated with the Kindle in device manager was Android ADB Interface. Removed it, checked USB Debugging (Was already enabled) plugged in Kindle, still no USB drive
thoughts?
Some of the ICS ROMs don't have USB mounting enabled yet. Try mounting manually in TWRP, that's what I've done. Sucks I know, but it's something.

The problem is in the kernel. It's an issue that Hashcode has been working on for a while now. The best thing that most people have been suggesting is to use AirDroid or to mount using TWRP. AirDroid lets you connect through wifi without having to reboot in to recovery, which is always nice. It's also completely free in the Android Market.
My computer does not read my kindle fire as a usb mass storage device anymore. I just installed the ICS gedeROM and all is great except for that little detail. I am a noob in need of help, would someone please help get the proper drivers for this. Also, it recognizes my Kindle as a Galaxy Nexus, but it can not mount the kindle as a drive and therefore I can´t transfer any files. Please hlep me! Thanks!!!

When you plug it in, you should see a usb symbol in the notification bar. Click it and enable the usb. Also, uninstall the drivers for your Kindle Fire. That worked for me.

I did this, didn't work.
You also have to disable Android debugging under Settings->Developer options
Works now!

Thanks a lot Josepho 1997 and Fast Mikey 1969! Apparently it was the usb debbuging feature that was not letting me mount my drive. Now I am going through the painful process of installing all my apps. I will also see what to do with the drivers that came with the Kindle Fire Utility software. I am such a noob that I don´t even know where the drivers are stored, maybe under c:/program files/android? I know I can check them through devices and printers and maybe look for one specifically on my computer or the web. Thanks a lot for all your help!
Do yourself a favor and buy Titanium Backup Pro if you plan on flashing more roms. WELL worth the price.

do this..in 99% of the cases this should work..dont have your kindle fire connected to pc while doing this..
goto settings>>storage>>three dots on top right of the screen(more options)>>USB computer connection>>select mass storage..
reboot and connect your kindle fire to pc..if u ever run AOKP ICS roms dont search for this option..aokp roms dont have this option in storage option..u will have to flash a different rom(mostly cm9) and select mass storage for usb connection and revert back to aokp rom without wiping data in recovery..
click thanks if this works..
Help please,
my pc do not found my kindle over usb in under win 7 in the Explorer.
I can not copy and transfer files to my kindle via USB.
Under SYSTEM it shows a kindle fire with Android ADB Interface.
Sorry for my bad english.
I had to find my kindle in device manager and tell it to update the device driver before I got MTP support on my kindle. Give that a shot.

Wuppp.....thanks
i have klick on driver-update and the pc update new.
Now it works.
Sorry for my bad english.
to fix it if you on windows 7
go to start
search device manager
find your kindle fire
left click on android adb interface
and click uninstall.
just to be on the safe side remove ur kindle
and restart ur computer
also on your fire go to options> security and disable ADB
try connecting your kindle now and check if it worked if it didnt msg me
this solved half of the problem!!
I did as you suggested and i no longer have the mtp driver problem however it still sees the kindle as an unspecified device when i go in device and printers..in the device manager it only comes up as android phone.
What can i do to have it show up as kindle in my computers so i can transfer files back and forth!!??

It took me a while to figure this out, and once I did I felt pretty dense.
After successfully transforming my Kindle Fire with the OmniROM Custom ROM, I spent about a day scouring for the perfect apps to make my new environment into a personal man-cave. Then came time for me to start transferring files and working with adb between the tablet and the PC.
Well, plugging the tablet into USB port, I was surprised to notice that the device did not show up in my Windows tray, nor did the tablet ask me what USB Connection Type I would like to employ.
So I did some research. I tried one suggestion to use the app, "Multi Mount SD-Card Lite". This app was reported to have a successful "MTP Fix" option; that option did not work for me. I kept trying different USB drivers for Android, Kindle, Universal : nothing was changing.
Then finally, after going through my dev. options and system settings over and over I noticed on the STORAGE panel, in settings.. up there in the top-right corner.. was a little | Menu .. I clicked on it and what do you know!!
"USB Computer Connection" >
Media Device (MTP)
Camera (PTP)
At first, MTP did not work. I checked the box, but it un-checked itself. So I tried PTP - then the computer starts to update drivers!! My Internal Storage shows up, revealing only image files of course. Then once that settled, I tried the MTP option again, it stayed checked.
I can now browse my tablet to my heart's content once again.
Hope this TIP helps other adventurers out there.
Thanks to all the dev. teams who work to keep us entertained and blessed with digital tools!
