EDIT: Please delete thread, problem solved.
Does anyone have any information on installing twrp from a mac? I have adb installed, but I haven't read anywhere about how to install it using a mac.
I installed TWRP using my Mac with the official Android SDK and platform-tools for Android 2.3 and Android 4.0 installed.
Basically just followed the instructions on the RootzWiki, as recommended by one of the devs: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12343-how-to-install-twrp-20-linux/
did you install usb drivers (even though they aren't supported by mac osx)? and did you do anything differently because you were using a mac?
thanks for the link.

Sorry man, I don't remember whether or not I installed any USB drivers. If they're not supported, I imagine that I didn't.
But, I don't want to give you misleading info -- so, if you're not sure, I'd say hold off until someone who really knows what they're talking about chimes in. I'm pretty reckless when it comes to this stuff, and I'd hate for you to do something you regret on account of my mouth, ha!
sorry, another question, did the kindle automatically show up in adb with no tinkering, hate to pester you, im just planning everything before i give it a go.
also, did you plug it in while it was on with usb storage enabled?

You don't need any drivers. Adb and fastboot should both work just fine. You might need to edit the ini file though.
Did you have to edit the usb_ini file? if so, how would i go about doing it?

Same as on linux... I changed it, but i'm not sure i needed to.
ok, one final thing ( i promise) http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12343-how-to-install-twrp-20-linux/ is that similar to what you did?
Edit: I've ****ed up and now i'm stuck in fastboot. do you have any ideas how to fix that?
Hopefully no one has already asked this question. I've looked through the search and found nothing. But anyway, I have windows 7 64. When I try and connect the Kindle to windows it doesn't see it. Yes I've made sure it's not sleeping and yes I've Reset the Kindle. Now in the task bar it shows it to safely remove device. If I look at devices it's there. When I click on my computer it's not. At work they still use windows xp it works just fine there, Comes up as it should. I've tried all my usb ports . I've tried 4 different usb cables. Is there some usb drivers that I could delete in the windows system that could get it to work. Hell I can't even root this thing till it see it. Any help would be awesome.

Does the kindle say file sharing is on?

I don't know if this will help but I had to uncheck USB debugging to get mine to show up. (Also on Windows 7)
Where do you find usb debugging. I Know where it's at on my phone. Also jm it does say on the Kindle itself that files are ready to be transferred.

As a last resort you could use device manager to check and make sure that windows is seeing it. Also, certain versions of windows will hide certain drives. Just right click my computer and click manage. Then click device manager.

Look under Applications and then Development. Default is ADB android debugging so I guess you have to turn that off to use USB.

Use kfu in the development thread to install the drivers again.

That's the weird thing. When I uninstall the drivers the computer will see the kindle. When I install the kfu drivers it doesn't see the kindle anymore
I just went through this make sure you have

Yeah I have C:\windows\system32.
so when you type "Path" in a cmd you see c:\windows\system32

Hello all,
I posted a thread yesterday about my issues trying to get my a500 running AOKP to connect to my computer. So, as it is right now, it's got nothing on it, except for a few apps.
I have narrowed it down to the possibility that it is NOT ROM-specific and that it has something to do with USB drivers. I installed the drivers from the Acer US and UK websites, along with the setup.exe drivers from TimmyDean's root folder. None of them worked.
I tried on two different computer, and got the same issues. All I hear is 3 quick beeps after the computer fails to install device driver software.
My question is this: To those of you who are on an ICS ROM/Leak, HOW do you access your SD Card/Internal Storage on your PC?
I really hope somebody could help, I'm pretty stumped.

I already have the SDK installed from a whole ago, and I have used ADB recently for my phone, so I guess I should have the updates drivers correct? So I should just go through the device manager and let Win7 search through my C:/ drive? What will it be picking up, the ADB drivers?

I had google android drivers, Acer drivers, probably 4 different sets. I believe the last I used, were HTC adb drivers. Got pretty frustrated as I couldn't connect 501 with adb. But After I did the full scan on c: drive, it finally picked them up.
It doesn't matter which drivers get used, as long as it works
"Throw enough bullets at the target, and eventually you will hit it"
have you tried going into device manager .Then plug in the Iconia tab once its recognized .Right lick on the device and install the drivers manually.You must know where the drives are extracted to on your computer to do this. Also Not with my acer tab but i have had a issue in the past with usb device drivers .They can sometimes be confused by windows and windows will load driver for the other device and of course fail. So to get around this you can try making sure your phone is connected to the usb port you always use. Then try to plug the iconia into another port. and see If windows will prompt you to install the device.
If still no luck do a search on microsoft tech site.If you can not find it this can also be done by uninstalling all usb devices on the computer in programs and features. Then go to device manager and manually uninstall the usb hubs and devices listed in there. Reboot the computer and windows will put them back.Re install the drives from acer for the iconia reboot. then connect it and see if it will then find the device.
The above is for tech savy users only due to if there is a registry issue the hubs might not install back .
Good luck. and again if you cant follow what i typed above Microsoft tech help has it in step by step instructions. just search for usb device driver install issues and narrow down your issue.
Thank you to BOTH of you! I was getting frustrated that I can't do anything with my tablet! I will definitely try both of these when I get home.
@Erica: I went into Device Manager and it did not recognize my tablet, so I tried to install drivers from Windows Update, and it didn't find any.
@Moscow: HTC USB drivers will work? Really? I don't see why not, but then again, each website has you go through different steps to get your model number, etc.
What I am wondering is, for the scan if the C:/ drive, do I extract only the .exe for the USB drivers?

Generally, the zip file contains driver files for AMD64 and i386. Just extract them to a location on your C: drive. Like C:\android\adb_drivers. Once you extract the driver files, or any other driver files, and you have windows search your computer, it will usually find them, and install them. Takes a couple minutes.
I find this is easier than trying to have windows look in a specific folder. Like I said, I have tons of driver files.
Also, google for Android USB drivers. Will give you the generic Android USB driver pack. Unzip them also, to a diff folder.

When you say it does not recognize your tablet. Are you saying that when you plug the tablet into the computer thru usb You do not get a prompt to install a Driver? If this is the case Windows thinks it has the proper driver. You will have to find the device in device manager . OPEN it and update driver. You can try to have windows to search . but i disagree with MD on this. But both ways tend to have the same results .TELL it where your drives are such as mine are in c:/android/androidsdk/ xxx
You could also try to install Acer sync from the acer iconia d/laod site If you do this i would change the install path to a sub folder of your sdk install. could be useful in future.

So which do you recommend I try first? Acer or Android ones? Also, you recommend a full scan of the C:/ even though I categorize them in folders?

Basically, I hear the quick beeps and the device is not being recognized by Windows. Under device manager it is the only device that has a question mark or exclamation point for icon.
I will try both methods and report back on which one works. Thank you very much!!

Quick update.
I tried both of your theories, and neither of them worked
I tried to find the ADB drivers, but couldn't get them to install through SDK Manager (file not found on an XML file).
So then, I took two of the drivers I had downloaded, and extracted the folders they were in, into a folder on C:\ called android drivers.
I tried searching my entire C:\ and nothing came up at all. This is where I tried Erica's method, and I narrowed it down to the C:\android drivers and it STILL didn't bring anything up.
Finally, I tried downloading and placing these (http://androidforums.com/incredible...ivers-adb-bootloader-disk-drive-htc-sync.html) drivers, and it still didn't find them.
Oh, and I also tried plugging my phone into the troublesome port and it connected fine, as per Erica's suggestion, so I think this is some kind of driver issue.. but WHAT!
Thanks for all of your help so far!
EDIT: Here is the icon I am getting when I plug my tablet into my computer: http://i.imgur.com/jUf54.jpg
Not sure you tried this or not.
Go to Acer.com then there download drivers page. look. for Acer sync. Download and install that. it just might install the Acer adb drivers
Beyond that I say go to Ms tech site and search for USB host/driver issues.
Sorry its not working but at this point I have no idea without being infront of the machine.
Good luck

Yeah, that's the last of my guesses, and it was the last sets of drivers I installed on my Win7 before I got ADB working. I had issues connecting ADB, and may have just installed the HTC divers, just to connect with my Desire. I think after that, I installed the google drives, and could connect with my 501.
I could always get the PC to recognize the tab, just not through ADB.
With that AOKP rom though, I am not sure. I had it for a bit, but reflashed back to my 3.2.1 daily driver. Not sure if I could see it through PC, as I don't think I checked. Waste of time I think, as basically, it was 80% Thor Rom, and we all know it doesn't get 3g or gps on a 501.

I can't get it to recognize through ADB either. I'd love to try another ICS ROM, but I have to go through Dropbox and it gave me a smaller file name, so it isn't as safe. Might try to download through my a500.
I do have a Nandroid of 3.2.1, bit I doubt that could fix my issues.

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!!!

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..

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have the following error at boot and the tablet stops at this error: Boot Verified Failed...
Short story is that I have spent the last two weeks trying to correct this error. No matter what I do I can not get past the first step in anything recommended on this site which is to connect to a PC. For some reason I can not get the tablet to connect at all, more specifically I can not get the PC to acknowledge it is connected. I am using the micro usb slot on the tablet. I have tried all the acer drivers, 4 operating systems including ubuntu, win xp, win 7 and win 8 and all of this on two different computers to be sure that it wasn't the PC being the problem.
Could someone help me how to figure out what I am doing wrong or what I am not doing right? Or does this tablet error mean that the tablet will never talk to a PC. I have tried APX mode as well as various combinations as per recommendations on this forum with the rocker, power and reset.
Hopefully someone can help me.
Thanks a billion in advance.
So it doesn't look like anyone can help me with this problem but perhaps someone can help me with getting a schematic of the inside of the tablet so I can perhaps fix the micro usb port myself unless someone knows another reason why I can't get it to work. I really need some help, hopefully someone can help me.

Strange problem and one I've not heard of before.
First try a different usb cable, they are not created equal these things!
Ensure usb debug. is enabled in Settings.
Connect yr tab to yr pc. Open device manager and check the android usb device driver is installed. If it has you should be good to go.
If it doesn't. ..head to the cpuid guide in my sig. There's a whole section near the end which deals with driver issues and how to set up and test adb etc.
I do have a schematic somewhere, got it
off here so try a search.
Oh, one other thing. ..u didn't mention adb drivers. U can download them from the cpuid guide.
Good luck
