Hi,
Could REALLY do with some help here ... starting to pull my hair out. Rooted my KF with the steps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410766. Got through the root and the process hung on the recovery install.
Now my KF just shows the Kindlefire booting screen. I've tried loads of edits to the drivers re-installed many times, etc ..
In device manager, I see the device as Android Phone / Android Composite ADB Interface. The problem is that the device status always stays at: This device cannot start. (Code 10).
adb returns nothing. It's like I can't connect to the device at all.
Can ayone please help?
i think its stuck in fast boot??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20729347&postcount=5
Tried the various restarts as suggested in the thread. No luck.
Device Manager still has a problem with the device. KFU can't connect or see the device.
I've tried re-installing the drivers several times, but always get the same result. Searched the threads for a similiar problem and it seems most issues are when people get to the the Yellow Triangle page. I'm not getting that far.
Seems to me to be a driver problem, but I can't trick Windows into figured it out.

some more information would be helpful
os/bit of computer ?
have you tried to remove the old drivers ?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us
which drivers have you used ?
in the meantime there is a new kfu available 0.9.2 which has a new driver installer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889
would download it, extract to c:\ and rename to "kfu" cause it don't likes spaces in the pathname - sometimes. run install_drivers.bat
then run the utility with run.bat and try to set bootmode to normal (option 1)
the 3 status messages from kfu may also be helpful for us
this post from vashypooh might also be helpful:

Thanks for direction and feedback.
I had previously installed the drivers with kfu 0.8 and 0.9.1.
I'm using Win7 x64 running in a VM (I have a MAC) as well as WinXP 32.
I've downloaded and installed the drivers from the latest KFU. When I connect the KF, it appears under the USB Controllers Group in Device Manager with a Yellow Warning Triangle. KFU cannot connect:
ADB Status: Offline
ADB Rooted: No
Boot Status: Unknown

are both win systems running on the mac ?
that will not function - someone ported kfu to mac - will try to find it for you
here it is:

The WinXp isn't on the MAC. But the Win7 one is.
I'll try the MAC port as well.

then you have 2 options:
1. try the mac port
2. use winxp machine and be prepared for a little hassle with the drivers
good luck !
I've seen it show up as unknown USB device before. You can't install the drivers when it's in this state. Usually doing a hard reset on the device (hold power for ~20 seconds to turn off then turn it back on) fixes the device and it will show up as either Amazon Kindle with a yellow exclamation (without drivers) or as ADB Device or some such if you do have the drivers. If it shows up as Amazon Kindle without drivers, install them (right click, update drivers, browse your pc, point it to the drivers folder inside KFU). You should then be able to run KFU option 1 and select Bootmode Normal.
If you can't get that to work, download the android SDK on your Mac, use the SDK manager to download the Android platform-tools, open up a Terminal, cd to that platform-tools directory, and run
./fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode normal
Which should get you back in normal mode.
I registered just to say that I thought I had bricked my KF (it was just stuck in fast-boot). I tried all of the driver fix stuff but the Kindle Fire Utility still said that no Kindle could be found. I tried your suggestion, skourg3, and it worked perfectly. (slight addendum for the uninitiated: the command is fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode normal).
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21749205&postcount=792
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.

This is useful to anybody trying to get ADB going. I can confirm it works.

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

Well, I added the magic line you suggested, and this now works for me. I'm surprised that running "C:\android-sdk\tools\android.bat update adb" (the corrct directory for me) didn't fix this.
Ah well - so many things to learn. Thanks for your guidance.

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.

I had the same problem, with adb, not finding my Kindle Fire. I downloaded the current Android SDK und used that ADB without changing anything. Works fine for me I also just copied the adb.exe in the same directory as rootqemu.bat and replaced the old one ( old ~159kb new ~796kb ).

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
So I was following pesano's KFHD tweak thread and found out that my int.d was probably not working, so I decided to re-do the process. I wasn't thinking straight and deleted the install-recovery.sh (this is the only one that has an original file) without copying over the new file, and rebooted. Now my kindle is bricked, I think, I can see the kindle fire logo and then the screen goes blank (still has power). When I plugged it in PC, it can be detected as Kindle, but the driver is not taking effect (yellow exclaimation in device manager), and could not connect as usb device either. Is there any easy way to get it back without fastreboot cable?
Thanks a lot.

No.. and really you shouldn't be doing these things without a fastboot cable.. What do you mean by the driver does not take effect? It sounds like you need to fix the bootloader. I would head over to the Kindle Fire First Aide thread and talk to Chris and see if he can help you out. Is adb working or have you checked? If adb is working then you will be able to enter fastboot without the cable..
I meant I had the drivers installed before but now the device is not using them although it was showing up in Windows 7 device manager as "Kindle". The adb is not working, showing "device not found".

I hardly remember if I used adb commands for rooting this device. I followed the guide here, which runs a series of bat files.
I tried re-installing the kindle drivers (without deleting them first, so it's an overwriting process), and then reboot the PC. Still the same symptoms: "kindle" was listed in device manager of windows 7 but with the yellow exclaimation mark, tried "update driver" pointing to the kindle driver folder but was told that system could not find/install driver in that location.

Yes I was referring to manually point to the folder I downloaded the kindle fire usb driver when "updating the driver" in device manager. The automatic search driver never worked. But still, even if I pinpointed the directory where the driver sits, windows still told me could not install the driver.
And btw, the guide you linked to is for Kindle Fire, not kindle fire hd,, does it matter then? Thx.

Has no notifier bar at top or menu bar at bottom. Lock screen let's me go online, to the camera, or just unlock. Don't know what happened! It's not recognized in ADB but shows up on computer as Kindle. I just want it back to stock so I can use it again! PLEASE HELP!!
In my situation, when trying to update the "Kindle" driver from Windows device manager, use the option to let you choose install driver from a list of devices instead of pointing to the directory where you have the adb driver (it will always tell you can't install even if u point it to the right directory).
In my case, I had all the drivers installed already, so when I use the option to install from the list of known devices, I can choose so"Android adb" or sth similar in that list. And after that you will be able to restore the adb connection.

the the reason your kindle cannot communicate properly with your computer is because it is soft-bricked, only way to recover from a soft-brick is with the use of a fastboot cable, if you are partially soft bricked...ie boot is intact and functional but system filesystem is corrupt you may be able to access fastboot with the use of a fastboot command
Like I tell everyone, go here to solve your problem.

I am trying to connect my Nexus 4 to my PC and use the ADB commands. I have the following problems:
ADB driver is installed and "USB Debugging" turned on the Nexus 4. Device shows up on Device Manager, however "adb devices" does not list the device and unable to communicate with the attached device.
The Nexus drive, regardless of MTP or PTP disappears from Windows Explorer when "USB Debugging" is turned on, Turning off "USB Debugging" brings back the drive.
USBView shows the device with a RED light, but it appears working on Device Manager.
I do not have this problem with my other laptop and desktop.
Using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and Nexus 4 - Stock 4.2.2
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had sort of the same problem, try uninstalling the driver in device manager, then unplug and replug your USB. Then when you plugged in the USB go to device manager and right click on the device and click scan for hardware changes. See if that works.
I'm not sure if this is a problem caused by windows update or the new updated SDK, but it has been a big problem for me.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried your suggestion but it did not solve the problem. After re-plugging the USB, Windows listed the device as "Nexus 4" and did not find any drivers for it. I manually installed the Naked Drivers (proven to work on my laptop and desktop) but still facing the same problem
I really do not want to reinstall Windows!
Thanks.

OK try right clicking on the the device in device manager and choose update driver, then Browse my computer, then let me pick From a list of devices. After choose have disk on and find the file where your USB drivers are and click next. It may prompt you that windows can't verify the publisher Just click install this driver software anyway.
See if this works.

Try pointing the path to the Google drivers in the android-sdk in device manager and not the naked drivers.

This is what I did and waited for the PC to install the adb drivers.
I plugged the phone in and with the USB plugged in turned it off while holding the volume up and down keys. This made my nexus 4 go into download mode and the PC automatically installed the adb drivers. After I just unplugged and held the power button to restart the device hope this helped.

When you uninstalled what's there now, you did make sure to check the box that will remove the old drivers from your PC?
Just in case, HERE is another source for the drivers.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
Just to confirm I have already tried:
Uninstalling the ADB driver via Device Manager and selecting "Delete the driver software for this device" and rebooting.
After reboot, Windows could not locate any drivers and I manually selected the drivers found inside the SDK (08/27/2012,7.0.0000)
The device shows up on Device Manager as working but does not work with adb commands. However, fastboot commands work!
I tried the above with the Naked Driver and had the exact result.
If I boot into the bootloader, I am able to run fastboot commands perfectly!
I have already ruled out my USB port as it works perfectly on VMware.
I am thinking my Windows 7 is messed up somehow and re-installation is looking like the only solution :crying:

4.2.2 requires updated adb and fastboot. It looks like you have an older version.
Click on the ota help desk link in my signature. The new version is attached to the first post. Replace the old adb and fastboot files with the new ones. Then try again.

Thanks. I tried version 16.01 and still have this problem.
The problem is whenever I uninstall/install the ADB driver or disconnect/reconnect the USB, **ONLY** the "Nexus 4" appears on the Device Manager which I manually install the ADB drivers to. There is not a second "Nexus 4" on the Device Manager for the MTP or PTP.
On my laptop when I remove all drivers and reconnect the USB cable, I always see 2 "Nexus 4" listed on Device Manager. One for the ADB interface and the other for the MTP or PTP.
Please help!
Any ideas please?
Any Solution to ADB connection problems?
Hi was there any solution to this, as I seem to have the same issue.
I have tried different drivers and MTP & PPP modes as well as loading the PDAnet drivers and software.
Each time now I take care to remove all the drivers and also delete the drivers in all modes (Android running and Bootloader running)!
MTP & PPP load different copies of the drivers.
I can get either "Nexus 4" showing up in the device driver or "Google ADB Interface" or Android ADB interface" according to the driver loaded.
I can see the device when Android is running ie "ABD Devices" gives me the serial number and connected, then I can send an ADB command "adb Reboot-bootloader" the Nexus then reboots into the bootloader screen, the device driver changes to the bootloader driver (installs if not installed) however then I loose connection to the Nexus phone! "ADB Devices" returns none connected.:fingers-crossed:
I also tried unplugging and plugging back in the phone in bootloader mode but do not get adb to see the handset or it to react to commands.
I'm just about ready to try a toolkit to see if I can get past this roadblock!!!
Current computer is Win7-x64
This weekend I will try on a different computer.....Win8-X64
All comments appreciated
That's because you cant use adb when in boot loader. You use fastboot
