Kindle fire not seen

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.

Thanx soup better said than what I was trying

if you want to test to see if your drivers and adb are correctly installed plug your kindle in to your computer type cd c:\kindleadb then hit enter then type adb devices hit enter mine said adb server out of date. killing...
*dameon started successfully*
list of devices attached
42220600000000001 device
c:\KindleADB>
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.

I had that same problem., but then I uninstalled the current drivers for my kindle altogether, and disabled them, then I ran install_drivers .bat again, then it worked.

I have had the same problem, but I think mine lies in the drivers. I have been trying to get Windows 7 x64 to recognize my KF as anything, but a mass storage system. It says that the usb driver that comes with SDK isn't compatible with any of the sub devices listed under Kindle fire in Devices and Printers. I'm about ready to toss the KF to the side and buy an iPad if I can't get this working.
Anyone got any ideas to get the drivers working?

furthermore check the adb_usb.ini in the .android folder in your personal folder
it should include 0x1949 (and i use to add 0x18d1 also)
would not use the sdk at all - you can save a lot of space and the drivers of the sdk don't have all the necessary entries
the sdk also messes around with the adb_usb.ini and deletes your allready made entries
would recommend to use kfu only (like in the linked in post) - you don't even have to run it but:
- the drivers are in c:\kfu\drivers\kindle and have all necessary entries
- the tools directory (c:\kfu\tools) has all commands you'll ever need (you can run all your adb and fastboot commands from here manually)

I'll try these suggestions out. I've done a wide array of changing in the .android fold and keying in the 01x.... but it hasnt been to any avail. I'll try it in the order that you've introduced.

I've tried the above mentioned and was looking in the actual driver android_winusb file and I can see that the hardware id listed on it and the actual hardware id that my kindle shows are different. It has the same VID but the PID ends in 005 instead of the 006 that is supposed to.
So I created a copy of this and altered the driver file to reflect the PID as 005, and was able to get the driver file to eventually show up as an ADB Device in the hardware description with the driver, but it still would not interact with ADB itself.

adb_usb.ini usually reflects the vid only and is necessary for adb to work
the only other vid's i'hv read that some had success are 0x006 and 0x0e79
you may add them also to adb_usb.ini - if it don't help it don't harm
furthermore would recommend to kill the adb server every time if you have changed something at the drivers with "adb kill-server"

So far, I've gotten Windows to recognize the kindle as and ADB device. Trying to get the .android file to reflect the change hasn't worked at all. The VID isn't really much of and an issue. It's the PID that seems to be different from any post that I have seen. I wish that I could force ADB to recognize the connection, but that's a bar above me. I'm an amateur at best compared to some of the people.
I'm really vying on the power of XDA here; because, this problem is so similar to the other issues that are similar with the driver issue, being stuck at the kindle fire homescreen. However when I tried the update in twerp of the update.zip file, it somehow screwed the pooch on my adb. I have a backup both on the kindle and my computer. I just can't do anything until I get ADB to recognize my KF.

maybe give firekit a try ? no windows - no drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038

Try to use another computer. If this impossible, Install new Windows in VMWare and connect Kindle to virtual machine. Then use KFU.

Well, I've tried firekit, and ubuntu wouldn't even recognize my kindle fire... I'm half tempted to use the usb trick, but I really dont want to start taking the kindle fire apart if i dont have to.

Tried a different computer and still have had no luck whatsoever... I'm really getting discouraged and think this is something that might not be fixed solely with a keyboard and basic ingenuity. I just hope I dont have to buy another kindle.

What exactly do you see when you start up your KF? The stock "kindle fire" logo or the yellow triangle logo? Does the screen ever go black before getting "stuck" on the logo?
If all you ever see is one of these logos without it ever going black, it's in fastboot mode. You'll never get adb to recognize your KF in this state regardless of what drivers are on your machine. adb will only see your device when it's in recovery or booted into the OS. In fastboot mode, you can only issue fastboot commands to the KF.
You say in post #15 that you've gotten Windows to recognize it as an ADB device. What device is shown in the the device manager when you connect it? Please be specific.

ADB Connection to The Fire HD

This is useful to anybody trying to get ADB going. I can confirm it works.
https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html
No OTG support as far as I can tell. Or at least, it doesn't power the bus. It did lock when I added a powered hub. That might mean it works, but doesn't supply power.

I'm not getting ADB to recognize the KFHD.
Yes, I have debugging turned on.
Yes, in Device Manager, I see the Kindle Fire as a Composite ADB Interface
Yes, my AndroidSDK is up to date
Yes, I installed the Amazon drivers
Yes, I killed and restarted the adb server
I cannot figure out why it's not talking. It looks as if it should be working. Any ideas?

I had to go to:
C:\Users\myusername\.android and edit the adb_usb.ini and add the following line:
0x1949
Then I killed and restarted adb and it saw it and I was able to install some apks.
Hope this helps!

I picked up the downloads for the Qmenuroot. Installed the ADB drivers referred to in the OP. In my Win7 system's devices manager, I see the ADB driver for the Kindle Fire HD listed as working correctly. Also, the USB driver is in & working, and I can transfer files to/from the kindle. (though I had to re-install the USB driver after I installed the ADB driver)
The problem now is that when I type "ADB devices", it tells me that there are no devices available. Unplug/plug in the USB connection, wait for a bit, "ADB kill-server", "ADB devices" and still no devices available. I have a CMD prompt open in the correct directory. Tried rebooting the kindle, unplug/plug in the USB connector, all kinds of combinations.
I'd like to root this, in anticipation of a JB build for it, (or even ICS) but without ADB, I don't see how.
Has anyone had an issue like this that they have solved? I haven't mastered ADB in any sense, though I've used it to good effect before to un-brick my TF101.
TIA;
Patrick

Hi,
I just had the same problem, added the line in the ini file, checked everything. One thing that was a little off was that the driver name was "Android ADB Interface" not "Android Composite ADB Interface". I left the Kindle HD plugged into the computer by mistake when I deleted the driver, and the driver reinstalled itself in about 30 seconds (plug and play). It installed as the "Android Composite ADB Interface". After that it was easy going to root it and get to my google play account.
I hope that helps someone!

USB hubs cause problems, just sayin'.
I went round and round with this until I decided to plug directly into the PC and avoid the hub. Worked perfectly.
---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------
If you have tried everything and still no workie, make sure you aren't using a USB hub. ADB wasn't listing it as a device but yet I was able to see it in Device Manager and even transfer files to/from it. Once I eliminated the USB hub, all was well. ADB now sees it.

Very helpful

Hello All,
I could use some assistance. I have ADB installed properly and the drivers for the Kindle Fire HD from this thread installed also. My issue is the Kindle Fire HD driver states:
Android Composite ADB Interface
The device cannot start (Code 10).
I am using the driver from 12/3/2012 version 1.2.0.0 and I get this error code if I have the Fire directly connected to the usb port on the pc or through the usb hub. Same issue over and over. Even if I attempt to use other Kindle Fire HD drivers.
Also, I have made the change in the adb_usb.ini file.

My issue is fastboot takes commands but says flashing not allowed

Hi, I have no issue connecting to my Kindle Fire using ADB under Ubuntu using a USB cable, no drivers were needed.
However I'm trying to get ADB over WIFI to work, but I get "unable to connect to 192.168.1.234:5555"
Has anyone managed to do ADB over WIfi or is it not implemented on the Kindle Rom? Thanks

Previous ADB drivers work

I enabled ADB on Kindle and connected to my Windows 8 PC. I had the yellow triangle for the Android device and updating with the previous KFHD drivers worked fine. Now it shows up under Android composite ADB interface and confirmed with 'adb devices'.

Works on my Windows 7 Bootcamp with my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9".

I have minimal adb and fastboot and turned on adb then plugged in my hdx into my computer, went to device manager, add legacy hardware, then I installed your driver. but it says Device cannot start. No other device is under device manager except Kindle under portable devices. Any help?
Fixed it. I had to safely remove the Kindle first then adb device popped up. I run windows 8.

Motorola drivers work great for 3rd/4th gen HDX devices. Install the manager linked below; no need to run it. Select the newly installed drivers from Windows device manager while device is tethered. Might have to reselect driver when toggling between ADB and Fastboot modes depending on what else is on the host.

A Moderator can move it to general, just use the report post button, that's what it's for.

No matter what drivers I've tried, from this and various other threads, I can't get them to work on my Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10. I Click on Fire and update drivers and navigate to the location I've download and unzipped the driver file and windows says "Windows can't find driver software for your device." Any suggestions?

Don't worry if you see "failed to install MT65xx Preloader driver" errors every kffowi boots through that before fastboot mode.
If drivers are not selected automatically and selecting folder does not work
right click on android_winusb.inf file (latest_usb_driver_windows\usb_driver)
select install
Then manually select drivers
Open device manager Settings>Devices>Device Manager
Connect Kindle Fire
Enable USB debugging
(If Kindle is not listed as Android>Android Composite ADB interface)
select Other Devices>Fire
Right Click>Update Driver Software
Browse my computer for Driver Software
Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer
select Android or Android Phone (or ADB Interface or Android Device)
Select Android Composite ADB interface for Stock rom or recovery/adb sideload
Select Android ADB interface for Fastboot mode
or Android Composite ADB interface
next
you may have to reboot pc

The issue is that adb devices doesn't show the device in fastboot mode, although the device manager shows the driver as working, adb services does not.
