I have tried to root my kindle with the Kindle Fire v7 and have had no luck, It comes back with The system cannot find the path specified, I have installed the drivers and my kindle shows up as Android Composite ADB Interface. Thanks for any help in advance. I have also tried the burritoRoot with no luck. I am on version 6.2.1 I have never had problems with any android devises before but this seems alittle different.
i have the exact same problem. would really appreciate some help
I had this problem and here are the steps I took to fix it.
Go to Google's website and manually download and install the SDK, at the end when it asks you to open the utility to download images and such, uncheck the box and click finish.
Download the Kindle Fire Utility v.7
Connect your Kindle Fire to your usb port.
Go to Start Menu -> Accessories -> Run and type in "devmgmt.msc" (without quotations)
There should be an "unknown device" with the name of Kindle Fire (or close to it), right click that and click update driver software.
Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
Hit Browse and locate the "drivers" folder in the Kindle Fire Utility folder
Click next and let it install the software
Go into the Kindle Fire Utility folder and run "run.bat"
Everything should work as expected from here on out, or at least it did for me
I think for both us we already have the drivers installed. the problem is in running the actual bat for the utility. unless maybe we did something wrong in installing the drivers, but i don't think so. I actually used the exact same method to install the drivers as you did.
Check your system path for what the program is trying to run. If the path is there, make sure the file its calling is there. Google adding a path to windows for more info.
I think he problem has to do with the program not finding the kindle

try this it may work:
open a cmd windows from your sdk tools folder, not the platform-tools, just tools and run this:
android update adb
then go to your user folder c:\users\username there should be a folder named .android in there, open adb_usb.ini and add this line at the bottom

save close and update driver again, hope it works
credit goes to iluretar btw. make sure that you have the android sdk before doing this. delete whatever driver you had before this. after doing this, install the drivers manually through device manager and browsing to the folder included with the utility. and then...it works...for me at least, not sure why. oh, and...er...not sure where you find the link to android sdk, but i'm sure someone can provide you with that...

Well I guess im still not doing it right cause im still getting The devise not found.
I moved my install_drivers.bat file from the drivers folder to the same folder as run.bat and ran it (install_drivers.bat that is). It seemed to install correctly. Now, however, my kindle will not mount. So when I try to use the utility to install TWRP, it stops at "Installing TWRP... If we get stuck here for a while, power the kindle on and off a few times. < waiting for device >"
I have rebooted my device 6 times and it still does not work. My device no longer mounts, I can't even see it in device manager. I tried installing the drivers manually prior to moving install_drivers.bat. This seemed to work but I ran the install_drivers.bat after moving it anyway, maybe that makes me a noob.
Anyway, is there a way to fix this? I want root on my device!
EDIT: Here is the script I am getting in cmd when I run install_drivers.bat. I realize that the problem is I am running Windows 7 x86. But is there a way to run it for x86 instead of x64?
This tool will attempt to install the correct Drivers for the Kindle Fire.
It will also perform the setup required for adb_usb.ini in .android for you.
This version of C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\Kindle Fire Utility\tools\x64\devcon.exe
is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your compute
r's system information to see whether you need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) ve
rsion of the program, and then contact the software publisher.

Here is what i did. First off, not just any data cable works, i found that lg cable dont like adb. Some samsung cables give me trouble too. But anyways. Click start menu, type device, click and open device manager the go back to start type device again and open device and printers. If the kindle has installed its drivers then you should see "kindle" in DEVICE AND PRINTERS click on kindle go to properties select driver "tab" and hit uninstall. Open device manager and make sure its still sees the kindle as ADB interface. If so then you should be all set. This should be done after editing the adb_usb file and updating the google drivers.

Thank you, this is what finally got it working for me. I had tried everything; installed 3 different USB drivers, edited files, moved files around, all with no signs of progress. Finally this approach made everything work perfectly!

THANKS, that worked like a champ. After I did that it work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
I've used different guides, searched to death, but cannot seem to get the driver installed on this XP computer. Some of the guides seem to be for Vista or Windows 7. Is there a good video for XP, or one that relates to the driver issue?
xp is a good choice for this because you don't have to care about the uac (user access control)
maybe this one helps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22342376&postcount=6
I was in the same boat as you but luckly i had a netbook with windows 7 starter that worked for me. I couldn't find any help for XP either.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium
Unfortunately, that did not work for me. I'm fairly computer savvy, but this has stumped me. I will keep looking.
I was getting rather upset because I could get the USB drivers installed, but ADB still wouldn't recognize my Fire.
Is this the problem you guys are having? Or can you just not get the drivers to install at all?
It turned out that my problem was a complete, "I'm an Idiot!" deal. Especially because I'm a System Engineer and should know better than to overlook the steps I did. But, in very few of the instructions of how to load the drivers, does it tell you where the adb_usb.ini file needs to be located. I was thrown off because with the Kindle Fire Utility (ver. 0.9.3 at least), it comes located in the drivers folder. Plus, just about every time this file was mentioned, it always had a big thing about adding the 0x1949 device ID, which caused me to miss the couple times I ran across instructions that said where it needs to be located.
The adb_usb.ini needs to be, in XP, located in the ".android" folder that is located in your username's folder. For example, if I am logged into my computer as PBFred, the path would be the following...
C:\Documents and Settings\PBFred\.android
I also ran into one other problem. When you manually select the path for the driver, android_winusb.inf, (which you can place where ever you want) XP shows you a list of compatible device drivers. The correct device driver, "Android Composite ADB Interface", isn't listed unless you uncheck the box that says "show compatible devices only". If you don't uncheck that box, it just lists "Android ADB Interface", which is not the right one.
Once I did that, I was good to go. The only issue I have now with the driver is for no apparent reason, it asks for the driver to be reinstalled about half the time I plug my Fire in, even though I haven't plugged any other devices in inbetween. But since the path to the driver is still saved, it only takes 2 seconds.
I hope this helps you guys out.
I did these things that you've mentioned. I've gotten to the point of "rooting..."
And nothing happens...but I feel like I've gotten further than before. I will keep working at it.
I'm using the method from rootkindlefire.com
Any other suggestions to try?
And thanks for the suggestions.

I don't quite follow where you are stuck.
Does running the command "adb devices" list your device? If so, your USB drivers are installed correctly. Which means that the version of Windows you are running pretty much doesn't matter any more.
I recieved my N4 yesterday.
When I try to connect it to my notebook (running Windows 7 Professional), the installation of the MTP driver fails. The error message says something like "driver could not be found". ADB however works without problems. (I allready debugged some apps on the phone.)
I tried installing the drivers from the toolkit, but it didn't work.
On my brothers netbook the MTP drivers were installed successfully. But I can't get it working on my notebook.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks for your help. I allready tried an other usb port. It did'nt work.
I wanted to avoid it but I reinstalled windows. Now it works. Thanks again.
Hmm, messed with this problem for ages yesterday, mtp installed fine in normal mode but refused when in 'usb debugging' mode
simple fix, find your wpdmtp.inf file in windows/inf
edit it like shown, look for the [Generic.NTx86] and [Generic.NTamd64] entries near the top of the file........
[Generic.NTx86]
%GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\MS_COMP_MTP
%GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_00
[Generic.NTamd64]
%GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\MS_COMP_MTP
%GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_00
...then update the driver in device manager, use automatic search
just make sure the 'VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_00' matches your device id, check in device manager.. but i'm guessing all nexus 4 are the same.. usb debugging mode
I did a clean install of windows and that solved the issue for me. Thanksfor your help anyway.
I usually see what drivers do install, like adb or whatever, and then remove/uninstall them AND delete them
Then installed this pack
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998650
then connect to a different USB port and try again with the new drivers
Also, some USB hubs can be under-powered and cause problems.

Just FYI, just got a Nexus 4 from T-Mobile yesterday and the device ID is slightly different:
VID_18D1&PID_4EE2&MI_01
01 at the end instead of 00

It doesn't ask. I plug in the phone, and Windows says it can't install the MTP driver.
If I go into Device Manager and find the phone (with the yellow triangle and !) and select Update Driver Software, then navigate to the i386 folder from the Universal Naked Driver (on an i5 system), it tells me that "The best driver for your device is already installed" or something similar.
Of course, if I uninstall the device from device manager (and presumably the bad MTP driver as well), it disappears, so I have nothing to point to to install the drivers.
Earlier today I reinstalled the drivers for my N4 on my work PC (Vista Business) and I had to reboot before it recognised the N4 as an MTP Device - prior to that it only saw it as an 'MTP Device'. Now it sees at 'Nexus 4'
I have a similar problem I have a kindle fire
I have install the ADB driver but am having extreme difficulties getting the MTP drivers to work
I have tried everything (every solution on Google)
and nothing works
I've tried the "Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit"
I tried to get Microsoft help they gave me the run around and confused me even more
here is the conversation
Microsoft: "Thank you for that information
Nathaniel I was checking your product key and it is blocked that is why you can not connect these devices to your computer, you may be a victim of counterfeit software so in this case since it is an OEM computer which means that the manufacture of the computer installed Windows 7 on your computer I recommend you to contact the manufacture of your computer to see if they have an option in order to resolve this issue you are having."
me: when i contact them what do I ask for?
Microsoft: You need to ask for a new product key
me: I am confused what does this mean? that the manufacturer put windows 7 OS on here illegally? but all PC's come with windows OS so every PC in the world is suspect to counterfeiting
them: No, this could be because someone still some information of your computer and use the product key to try to activate Windows until the product key got blocked
No, the name is not involved in this case it is jut the product key
what do I do?
is there an alternative to MTP drivers?
Solved
Hi, i had the same problem described in previous posts and I managed to solve thanks to what is written by meangreenie.
In practice, in the windows\inf of my Windows 7 the file wpdmtp.inf was no longer present but there is only the "compiled" version (wpdmtp.pnf).
I retrieved the file from an earlier version founded in he folder Winsys and so the LG driver are installed without further problems.

You might be using the wrong driver (Android ADB) instead of the MTP driver. This happened to me the other day!
If you're in Debug Mode, you've already done the first step I was going to suggest.
Here's the second step that worked for me: Open Device Manager -> Click Android Device (top of my list) which exposes "Android Composite ADB Interface" -> Right click that device -> Update Driver Software -> Browse My computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> then choose "MTP USB Device" -> Next
Mine installed the MTP driver and then the N4 opened normally.

That works for me with USB Debug ticked and in MTP Mode but not in PTP Mode (on CM10.2-nightly-20130817). I absolutely can't see my pics in no way... (I suppose this is a bug from Google to be fixed in further updates). ADB and FB are correctly working as tested with NexusRootToolkit 1.7.1 Drivers Test.
May it help to delete original DCIM folder and start from a new one??
edit: Shame on me... I forgot that I've formatted my SDcard, so I've no picture in DCIM folder.... Sorry! So I can say that McDougal trick totally worked for me!
try to check the device manager to check the missing drivers with ! mark
Maybe I'm not completely getting the problem, but just doing this worked fine for me:

Enable USB debbuging in your phone. Go to Settings -> about phone -> tap about 10 times on build number item until USB debbuging is unlocked.
Also, on your computer go to the device manager, look for your phone, if you find it, right click on it, then update Driver Software, browse computer, Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, USB composite device

It works perfectly. He simply says..
Go to the Registry Editor (Start –> Run –>type in, “regedit” (without the quotes) then click OK.
Search the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\
Go upto Edit>Find, type in or copy/paste Portable Devices
In the right hand pane you will see the (Default) value “Portable Devices” on the string
Once found, you see a string value called UpperFilters –> delete it!
Reconnect the device. Finished!
Hello everyone! I'm writing because I need help rooting my KFHD 7".
I've read a lot of stuff and I'm kind of familiar with the topic now. This is my first android device though, so I'm still a noob with all of this.
I read a tutorial that said I needed some programs (QemuRoot, Root with restore by Bin4ry, Kindle Fire ADB Drivers).
The first step normally is to install the ADB drivers. Every time I try to install them a window opens and it starts the process, the bar loads completely and gives me an option to "Finish". Now, every time I click "Finish", another window opens and says "The drivers were not properly installed. Please install the drivers manually." I believe this is my main issue. Another thing is, I have no idea when to plug in/out my device... I don't know if I have to try to install the ADB thing when the Kindle's connected, etc. I tried to delete all the Kindle drivers on my pc to reinstall the ADB drivers, but I still get the same error...
Now, when I try to use the other programs, they say that my Kindle should open a dialog window asking if I want to restore my device, and that it will reboot in 10 secs. None of this happens. I just want to root my Kindle so I can use GooglePlay and download some good stuff. Also, I don't live in the US so I pretty much can't use my Kindle for anything. I even paid for Amazon Prime and I can't enjoy Amazon Instant Video (streaming series, etc) because of some geographical restrictions... IF any of you would know a workaround... Thanks

The first step is to get the ADB Driver installed.
The following ADB Driver was provided by Amazon and should install: Kindle Fire ADB drivers
If not, I have an alternative driver here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/usb_driver.zip
The alternative driver originates from the Android SDK and is universal for just about any Android device.
Extract the alternative driver to your desktop and follow the install instructions at the bottom of this response.
The instructions are for Windows XP but can be used with Windows 7 and Vista.
Once we get ADB installed then let's plugin the Kindle to your computer to see if it initializes properly.
Reply once you have done this step OR respond with the error OR where you are stuck. We will get you on Google Play!
Amazon Notes regarding this ADB Driver can be found here: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html
ALTERNATIVE DRIVER INSTALL (Vista/XP/Windows7):
Windows XP
To install the Android USB driver on Windows XP for the first time:
1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows will detect the device and launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
2. Select Install from a list or specific location and click Next.
3. Select Search for the best driver in these locations; un-check Search removable media; and check Include this location in the search.
4. Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located on your desktop \usb_driver\.)
5. Click Next to install the driver.
Or, to upgrade an existing Android USB driver on Windows XP with the new driver:
1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
2. Right-click on My Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
3. Select Device Manager in the left pane.
4. Locate and expand Android Phone in the right pane.
5. Right-click Android Composite ADB Interface and select Update Driver. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
6. Select Install from a list or specific location and click Next.
7.Select Search for the best driver in these locations; un-check Search removable media; and check Include this location in the search.
8. Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located on your desktop \usb_driver\.)

Thanks for replying! The first ADB Driver (provided by Amazon) is the one that has given me the same error every time... something about an error and me installing the drivers manually (I have no idea how to do). The second link (dropbox) is broken... So right off the bat I'm stuck. The thing is, when I go to device manager, my Kindle Fire says "Android Composite ADB Interface"... I thought I already had ADB, but it appears that no matter what I do I can't get it to work... I don't have SDK or anything like that, though I'm downloading it to see if anything works...

OK, stop there. Even though it gave you an install error, it looks like the driver is installed. So let's move forward assuming they are functioning enough to get the job done.
Leave the Kindle plugged into USB and move on to my step-by-step which can be found 3/4 the way down on this Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064633

Thanks again. So I have the tool run with restore by bin4ry v18. When I open the folder, there is a RunMe.bat. I right click on it and click on run as administrator. It starts up and I write 1 to use normal mode. When it says that my Kindle should ask me for "restore", my Kindle is sitting there, doing nothing. It doesn't ask me for a restore. Then it says that my device will reboot in 10 seconds... My Kindle, again, does nothing. So that doesn't work... Now, I did another thing. I shift-right-clicked on the inside of the folder and clicked open command window here, then on the cmd that opened up I wrote "runme.bat" So it started the thing again, asked me for the number, etc. I write 1, and then this comes up (and it's stuck there): "Cheking if i should run in Normal Mode or special Sony Mode Please connect your device with USB-Debugging enabled now Waiting for device to shop up, if nothing happens please check if Windoes ADB-drivers are installed correctly!" Now, I have ADB turned ON on my Kindle. I also have the "Install apps" ON on my Kindle... Any suggestions?

Thanks again. So I have the tool run with restore by bin4ry v18. When I open the folder, there is a RunMe.bat. I right click on it and click on run as administrator. It starts up and I write 1 to use normal mode. When it says that my Kindle should ask me for "restore", my Kindle is sitting there, doing nothing. It doesn't ask me for a restore. Then it says that my device will reboot in 10 seconds... My Kindle, again, does nothing. So that doesn't work... Now, I did another thing. I shift-right-clicked on the inside of the folder and clicked open command window here, then on the cmd that opened up I wrote "runme.bat" So it started the thing again, asked me for the number, etc. I write 1, and then this comes up (and it's stuck there): "Cheking if i should run in Normal Mode or special Sony Mode Please connect your device with USB-Debugging enabled now Waiting for device to shop up, if nothing happens please check if Windoes ADB-drivers are installed correctly!" Now, I have ADB turned ON on my Kindle. I also have the "Install apps" ON on my Kindle... Any suggestions?

I see the problem. The way you are executing the batch files will cause the utilities to fail. You can not run the batch files (RunMe.bat and RootQemu.bat) through the mouse, you must execute them through a CMD Prompt.
OK, let's start from the top.
Let's make sure all the utilities are on your desktop.
Next Double Mouse Click and Open the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 folder.
Single Left Mouse Click on the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 folder toolbar.
This highlights the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 folder.
Note: Make sure none of the files within the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 are highlighted in blue.
Next Press the SHIFT Key, next Right Hand Mouse Click
Choose "Open command window here"
A Command window will open, type:

Thanks for the reply. As I said in the previous post, I had already done the "shift right click and open windows command here" thing. It doesn't work. This is where it gets to and stays there forever "Cheking if i should run in Normal Mode or special Sony Mode Please connect your device with USB-Debugging enabled now Waiting for device to shop up, if nothing happens please check if Windoes ADB-drivers are installed correctly!" Now, I have ADB turned ON on my Kindle. I also have the "Install apps" So I'm stuck right at the first step... Doesn't matter what way I run the batch files I can't get them to work.

Let's check the ADB communication path on your workstation.
Open a command prompt at the root of the Qemu folder, type:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
The next command will probably fail, but let's try it:
Code:
android update adb
Finally, try:
Code:
adb shell
Reply back with the results.

Thanks a lot! Well this are the results:
I did adb kill-server and nothing happened.
I did adb start-server and it said "daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037. daemon started succesfully"
I did adb devices and it said "list of devices attached" and then a blank space after that..
I did android update adb and it said "android is not a recognized internal or external command"
I did adb shell and it said "device not found"
I did all of that in the QemuRoot folder.. Am I doing it right? I double click on the folder to open it and then I click on the white space below all the files (while holding shift) and open the command window.

Yes, you did this perfectly.
Hmmmm, looks like the ADB Driver is NOT working, bummer.
We need to focus on getting the driver functional.
Step 1) Go into Windows Add/Remove Software, find the Android ADB Driver, Uninstall the driver. If you can not find the driver in Add/Remove, then use the Uninstall Utility found in the Qemu folder "Drivers".
Step 2) Remove the Kindle from USB. Reboot the PC.
Step 3) Plug the Kindle back into USB after startup.
Step 4) When the PC has completed the reboot cycle, let's try to install the driver manually using the driver inside the usb_driver folder. Follow my instructions performing a manual driver install.

I deleted everything, I rebooted my PC, plugged in my Kindle and it started to install the Kindle drivers... (the normal ones)... It got an error and the driver didn't install... I got to manage under "computer" and i see "other devices" and under that it says "kindle" with a yelow exclamation mark... I go to its properties and drivers, I click update driver and use the folder that you gave me (usb_driver) and it gives me an error, saying that it could not find drivers... now do I set it to install the driver in C:\Users\Name\Desktop\usb_driver? or after usb_driver should I add \amd65 or \i386?
Thanks for your help... I don't know why nothing is working out!!
By the way, i just tried to install the adb drivers again and I got the same error... saying I have to install them manually. I ran both the bin4ry v18 and the qemuroot and both got stuck at "*daemon started successfully*" and they just sit there doing nothing...

Yes, you are correct on the path: C:\Users\Name\Desktop\usb_driver
Let's try to install the Kindle Fire ADB Driver provided by Amazon. This time Right Hand Mouse Click over the Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe driver choose "Run as Administrator".
If that fails, try to Right Hand Mouse Click over the Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe driver choose Properties.
Then select the "Compatibility" tab
Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for"
Choose Windows XP Service Pack 2
Finally Right Hand Mouse Click over the Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe driver choose "Run as Administrator".

Didn't work... I'm using windows 7 though... When I plugged in my Kindle it said something like Android ADB Composite installed succesfully... It did it by its own... When I try to install the Amazon ADB I get the same error, that i have to install it manually... I tried running the bin4ry root again and it doesn't work...

I thought I was going crazy. I knew it had to be something simple. You must have downloaded these utilities (Qemu and Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17) from the developers site and not our site. Our utilities include the latest ADB daemons
which are dated 11/05/2012 11:06AM.
This is your problem.
Please use our utilities:
Kindle_Fire_HD_ADB_Drivers
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17
Qemu
Then go back to our step-by-step instructions. The ADB driver is probably fine, so you can probably bypass that step.

Genius!!! It went smoothly, I did all the steps on the bin4ry and then qemu, and it said you now have root! How do I now if I actually have root? I don't see any different app in my kindle, I think I should have something like superuser?
Initialize Superuser.apk

Yes, you should see Superuser.apk in the APPS Folder. Go ahead and launch Superuser.apk to initialize it.

I guess it was too good to be true... there's no superuser.apk in the apps folder.. what to do? I already tried rooting it again and it said that i was rooted again
EDIT: I just woke up and tried again. Instead of usin first the root with restore and second the qemu, I used root with restore twice. Now I have a different app called SuperSU... It isn't Superuser though... It has a picture of the android robot wiith a cape flying... I opened but I have no idea what to do with it!
It worked for the error that you are having.
Hello i just read your post.. before continue sorry about my English is not perfect but i will try to to explain hot to explain the "solution"..
ok the first thing you need to do,is uninstall all the ADB drivers from the device manager.
after that you have to restart your PC..
when your pc is already started install de ADB drivers and then connect your kindle..! and let windows install the drivers again.
It worked for my so i hope it work for you.. =)
ADB has all kinds of uses, but it's a pain to enable on Windows 7* with a Cyanogenmod Nook HD/HD+, especially with the spread out documentation. Not with this guide, however. (This is for emmc, no idea if it works with sdcard/hybrid installs)
Credit to Leapinlar for noticing the changed device ID.
EDIT: As jamus28 noted, you will also need the Google USB drivers. They come with the ADT.
1. Download usb_driver_r04-windows-B&N.zip here, courtesy of Leapinlar and B&N.
2. Enable Android debugging in developer settings.
3. Plug Nook into PC and open Device Manager.
4. Go to Portable Devices/BN Nook HD/HD+ and open properties.
5. Go to the details tab and then hardware ID's in the menu.
6. Leaving that window open, unzip the usb driver. Open the folder, and then open android_winusb.inf in an editor. (I used Notepad++)
7. In the .inf file, scroll through [Google.NTx86] and find your device name. Replace USB\whatever with the first hardware ID in the list from step 5.
8. Do the same in [Google.NTamd64]
9. Save and close the file, and then go back to device manager. Click update driver/browse my computer for software in properties.
10. Navigate through and choose the modified usb_driver_r04-windows folder.
11. Open your adb file location in command prompt and type adb devices. If a random string of letters and numbers show up labeled device, it worked. You can now use adb over usb. (and wifi, after enabling network adb on your device)
*Probably similar for other versions of Windows
I had to install the Google USB android drivers from the SDK as well. Without these, I spent hours trying to get it to work. The b&n drivers alone were not enough.

Thanks both Ardent_V and jamus28 for the explanation.
Yes I have to apply both methods in order to have the adb command to recognize my Nook HD+ device ID.
I'm using windows 7 x64.
Sorry. I assumed if you had adb you would have the SDK and Google drivers as well.
On previous devices, adb.exe and a few DLLs were enough.
Thank you for posting this!!!
I did have to deviate from the instructions a bit to get it working though.
1. In the INF file, I had to use the *second* line from Hardware Id's, not the first. The value that worked for me in the INF file is:
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_6860&MI_01
The first Hardware Id's line has a "REV_02" in it; Windows would not accept the driver with that in it. Took that part out and it worked!
2. Instead of updating the driver in Device Manager from Portable Devices, I had to update the "BN NookHD+" that was listed with a yellow symbol under "Other devices." Then I got the expected Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface device to show up in the list.
3. ADB at first listed the device as "offline." I had ADB working on stock and didn't realize that the newer version of Android has an extra security check. I actually had to Google it to realize that I just had to unlock the tablet and hit "Accept" on a dialog box on the device! After that, it went from "offline" to "device" and all was well.
What's a bit strange is that before ADB listed a random bunch of letters and numbers (a device ID I guess?). But now it lists the Nook as 012345679ABCEDEF. I'm guessing that's just how it works under CM10.1? I suppose it hardly matters.
The bottom line is that I got it to work, thanks to this thread. Nice!

Do you see a device category in Device Manager called Android Phone? On my system, I see that and under that is a device called Android Composite ADB. Both times I've set it up, it wouldn't show up in ADB until I got to the point where that device showed up in the list.
If you do see that device, I suppose you could try "adb kill-server" before "adb devices" just for grins.

Dunno, but 6/30 release added that. I imagine some apps might be using serial number for things like ensuring you don't steal stuff, also google play probably uses that to distinguish between several identical device you might have
If you are running the latest Carbon B11 emmc, and are wondering why you can't get "adb devices" to show your device, you need to insert a line to:
%userprofile%\.android\adb_usb.inf
add: 0x2080
Without this, ADB will not recognize a device with a B&N VID.

I had bokbokan's hybrid running on nook hd+. I saw an experimental version of cm10.2 and wanted to give it a try. I thought that since I can boot to stock and cm, I don't need to go back to my original bn rom. So, I deleted my cm10,1 zip from my internal storage and replaced it with cm10.2. I turned off my tablet, took out my sd card with hybrid and rewrote it with cwm for sd cm10.2. The cm10.2 updates but doesn't work when you reboot. When I turned back on, my nook gets stuck on infinite loop cyanogenmod logo instead of booting to stock . Clockworkmod shows that I have a backup but when I try it says "no files found." I have backups for original bn rom and a cm version on my pc. But since there is only 115 mb space left on my sd card after writing, I can't copy my 1+ GB back up files. I was searching on google and I came across how to update rom using adb sideloading and was trying that. That's where I get this error message. Is there any way for me get out of this mess and go back to cm? :crying::crying::crying:

When I tired to sideload app, I get "errors:closed" (attached image). I don't know what to do :crying:. My sdcard has CWM based recovery V6.0.3.2 for hybrid. When it is inserted, I boot to recovery. When I take off the sdcard, I get to cyanogenmod logo with infinite loop (attached image). Did I break my tablet? Is there any solution to fix this?

ADB has all kinds of uses, but it's a pain to enable on Windows 7* with a Cyanogenmod Nook HD/HD+, especially with the spread out documentation. Not with this guide, however. (This is for emmc, no idea if it works with sdcard/hybrid installs)
Credit to Leapinlar for noticing the changed device ID.
EDIT: As jamus28 noted, you will also need the Google USB drivers. They come with the ADT.
1. Download usb_driver_r04-windows-B&N.zip here, courtesy of Leapinlar and B&N.
[Steps 2 to 10 removed for brevity.]
11. Open your adb file location in command prompt and type adb devices. If a random string of letters and numbers show up labeled device, it worked. You can now use adb over usb. (and wifi, after enabling network adb on your device)
*Probably similar for other versions of Windows

I recently installed the CM10.2 ROM on my Nook HD (I don't mind living dangerously!) To my surprise, I found that ADB worked out of the box, and the Nook showed up as MyNook in Windows Explorer and in Device Manager (under Portable Devices). However, after I installed the Eclipse+ADT bundle on my PC yesterday, ADB over USB stopped working, although I could still use ADB over wifi and could still open MyNook in Explorer.
So I thought I would try the instructions in the above post to repair ADB over USB. Everything seemed to work fine, there were no error messages, and ADB over USB is indeed working again. BUT, the MyNook Device Manager entry under Portable Devices has disappeared, to be replaced by an Android Composite ADB Interface entry under Android Phones, and the Nook no longer appears in Windows Explorer. In Devices and Printers it appears as a camera icon labelled "MTP" - strangely, as of course the Nook HD doesn't have a camera.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how I might get everything working again? Or would I be best to use System Restore to go back to how things were before?
My PC is running Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium.
UPDATE
=======
I have now solved this. I disconnected the Nook HD, disabled the Android Composite ADB Interface in Device Manager, and reconnected the Nook. Windows 7 installed the drivers, and the Portable Device entry reappeared in Device Manager, this time called "BN Nook HD" rather than "MyNook" (an improvement!). I then re-enabled the Android Composite ADB Interface, and everything is now working. The Nook is visible in Windows Explorer; ADB is working via USB; and the Nook's icon in Devices and Printers is now that of a portable media device - it's still labelled "MTP", but I can live with that.
Android_winusb.inf entry for HD+ running official CM11
FWIW, I just installed ADB on my Win 8.1 PC and found that the entry needed in android_winusb.inf for the HD+ running official CM11 is:
Code:
;Nook HD+
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0005&MI_01
Note the trailing &MI_01, my ADB interface will not come up without it.
