I'd like to think that I'm not a totally clueless noob, but I sure feel like one. I've installed homebrew on Wii and stuff like that, but I simply can't get the Kindle Fire Utility to run on a first generation Kindle Fire, 6.3.1.
I have downloaded the utility and installed the drivers, they install correctly and all necessary permissions are allowed. However, when I plug in the Kindle, the computer beeps like a USB device has been added, but it doesn't recognize the Kindle and the Kindle Fire Utility opens, but doesn't run to the point where I get a menu.
I can use system restore to roll back the driver installation and then the Kindle is recognized. I've tried running Kindle Fire Utility to get boot menu, then installing the drivers, but that leaves me hanging at "waiting for device"
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
I have a Toshiba Satellite L755 running Windows 7.
Thanks!
I have a Amazon Fire HD 8 2016 Tablet; after trying to install the Dolphin Emulator which requires a 64-bit OS I found out this tablet was running a 32-bit OS. Does anyone have an idea of why Amazon might have gone for a 32-bit instead of a 64-bit OS? My research seems to show that the underlying hardware supports a 64-bit OS.

It's actually a weirdly compiled 64 bit version, which has 32 bit as properties in build.prop (armv7 vs arm64, or something like that). Kingoroot installs 64 bit 'su', then SuperSu does 32 bit version. The whole thing is a bit of a mess. I was posting some of the posts discussing this in FlashFire thread, and also SuperSu threads. If you try to search for them, you'll find some details.

Strangely enough, this tablet 'can' run 64-bit native libraries.

Do you think it'd be possible to force an install of a 64-bit only application?
@Supersonic27543 Same question I just posted goes to you to.
That one app I wanted to install, dolphin emulator. I get this if I try to install using ADB
Code:
[[email protected] ~]$ cd Desktop/

If you are so eager, set the following in build.prop:
Code:
ro.product.cpu.abilist64=arm64-v8a
Right now abilist64 is empty.
Reboot. If it bootloops, sideload stock Amazon bin, and re-root. If it works, try to install you apk again.
Report back.

I have a Amazon HD 8 6 Gen (I brought it Black Friday 2016) Root doesn't exist for this device after 5.3.2.1 as far as I know. Am I wrong? I already made the jump to 5.6.0.1
Works in Fire 10 HD, Ask Amazon!

so that code line for the prop.build works on fire 10 2018 8th gen?
what about 9th gen 2019 of the fire hd 10?
is there another workaround to install 64bit apps?
Amazon has just compiled a 32-bit version of Android that isn't enough memory to run a 64-bit version of Android. Some 32-bit only apps being dropped in 2021 and aren't compatible with Fire tablets.
I'm trying to use Fire Tools with my all new Kindel Fire 10 (11th Generation).
It was not detected.
I'd like to enable USB Debug, but I don't find neither the Developper Options, nor (somewhere elst) the USB debugging option.
Do the Fire Tools support this kind of Fire HD 10?
Thank you.

try install USB device manually or install Amazon drivers
pretty much I just want fire os off and a new os on, how would i do that? here are some specs below:
Computer: Windows 10
Device: Fire HD8 5th Generation
OS Version: Fire OS 5.6.8.0 Build 626547120
Dev Mode Activations: adb (yes i have the platform manager to sideload a different version of fire os)
any tips would be greatly appreciated!
I'm in basically the same boat. Bumping this in hopes progress can be made.
Bought the new fire 7 and updated my Fire Toolbox (v28.3) but when I connect my tablet and run the toolbox, it comes up with a message of "Failed to obtain the tablets generation info. Exiting!". Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
I'm having the same problem with Kindle Fire HD 3rd Gen, Fire OS 4.5.5.2. I'm using Fire Toolbox 28.9. Using V25.2 portable I get the error "AMAZON SOHO isn't compatible with the Toolbox. Please plug in a supported Fire Tablet."
Just checked compatibility, looks like I need 4th gen tablet for this to work. Mine is 3rd.
