I have a Kindle Fire which I would like to connect to via ADB, but the settings menu does not even have a box for USB debugging. Amazon also does not have ADB drivers, though I'd guess that using drivers for the TI OMAP 4430 might work, but I can't even try without USB debugging enabled.
Is there some secret way to enable USB debugging or an app which allows you to set it, even if the OS does not?
+1 for developers!
+2, been looking myself. Got some apps that aren't running right and there's no way to figure out why exactly.
+3 has anyone found any ADB drivers that work for Win7? I tried a few but no luck
Found it. It's pretty easy. http://blog.actlocalmedia.com/2011/11/developing-on-kindle-fire.html
Steps to get ADB to show your Kindle Fire
Hi everyone,
1. First, go into your KF Settings > Device and enable "Allow Installation of Applications "
2. Edit your adb_usb.ini and add 0x1949 to it.
Now it should show up on ADB and let you deploy APKs to it.
Thanks guys this works.
For Windows users the file is at:
C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\.android\adb_usb.ini

For windows users if you need the driver, I posted a solution here:

That's odd, I didn't need to do any of that, just modify my INI in Win7 here.
I wasn't able to make this work based on the just the info here. Luckily Amazon actually posted official instructions, and they worked for me: http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/sdk/Connecting_your_Kindle_Fire_to_ADB.pdf
It's weird actually having real support from the vendor.
Edit: ROFL, the links in the PDF are just blue text and not real links. Here's the whole dev FAQ including a link to the Win7 driver: https://developer.amazon.com/help/faq.html#KindleFire
Still having trouble myself using both the Amazon provided instructions and the ones in dev thread.
Still getting no devices listed doing an adb devices. Have used the provided drivers for windows from Amazon and also am sure have modified correctly the drivers in the .android folder. My adb is working as it sees my captivate no problem.
Any thoughts? Is there a way to completely remove drivers and try installing them again? Any help would be appreciated.
In win xp, it didn't work for me when I specified the driver file explicitly, but did work when I just told it what folder to look in for the driver.
To uninstall just right click the device in device manager and click remove.
Good luck.

I am using Ubuntu and on all the guides I've read so far, it tells me to download the USB 3rd party thing. But of course, that's not usable under Linux.
Can someone point me towards a guide that DOES work fully under Ubuntu/Linux?
Thanks.

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.
Btw- may want to add [Guide] or [How to] in title

Thank you for the crystal-clear instructions! They helped me installing my KF on my girlfrend's notebook.
Thanks for this, I could do with the Windows 8 drivers for the same reason as you, to root a demo unit.
Can you check the zip file again though please? I'm getting that it is corrupt (tried with WinRAR and Windows Explorer):
"! E:\Downloads\JDownloader\amazon-usb-drivers.zip: CRC failed in amazon-usb-drivers\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver\KindleDrivers.exe. The file is corrupt"
Same issue

7zip is your friend
I got a few people telling me that the file is corrupt.
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.

My reply will not be as helpful....
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.
I'm not trolling you and not trying not to be helpful, because you're trying to "fly" before you can even "crawl"

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.

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)

+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
