Hey
I spent all night reading . . . . well pretty much every page on this forum. I am stuck - I am sure that if I had a normal Kindle Fire it would be rooted by now. I found the tutorial really easy to follow.
This demo unit automatically fires up in demo mode every time. A few notes that may help before I get into what I done. When using the swipe down menu, I only have a couple of options and cant get the the security settings (Im sure at this moment that ADB connectivity is disabled). I am unable to check which software this unit is running. If I try to get into the more option nothing happens, if you try to turn of parental controls the unit stated "this feature isnt availble in demostration mode". When connected in via USB - unit states its connected as media device, is listed as kindle under portable devices in device managers, and in my computer shows as a portable media player, with no contents if clicked on. If you check in the properties your can see a firmware version and a serial number but thats it.
This model has a Demo screen saver which kicks in if the unit is left idle for a few minutes, when it does is disconnects from th system then reconnects and is recognised again. If trying all this and ensuring the screensaver doesnt start still have no effect.

So you have adb installed correctly and you're able to connect to the device USB and read it in your device manager.... correct?
Check under device manager for Kindle Fire. Click and check if it says android adb interface.

Yes I believe that the ADB drivers are installed on my system. I tried the ones from the "kindle fire abd drivers", "USB_drivers" and the SDK package when following the Amazon guide. But when I connect my kindle to the PC it Auto installs and picks a driver which I found is labeled an MTP driver. The kindle is only list as "kindle" (in lower case) under portable devices in the device manager.
I have tried to update the driver and point the device manager to look at the Kindle fire ADB drivers, USB_drivers or point it to the drivers in the SDK folders.
I have also tried uninstalling the device each time, installing each drivers and reconnecting the device (i have also just uninstalled the device, left it connected and tried to install the drivers that way but no difference) - however it still installs the MTP driver which is automattically assigned. If the devices is connected with each driver and attempting the "ADB Devices" list in CMD prompt the list of devices is empty.
I am unable to access the security options in the kindle as it is a demo unit, if you touch more nothin happenes.
SO in short yes the drivers are on my system but I am unable to force the kindle to use them. I think this is probably to do with the fact that I cant access the security menu (I think ADB is disabled).
The only thing I can think of at the moment is to get a normal Kindle Fire, connect it and install the correct drivers- Unfortunatly I do not have access to another Kindle Fire to attempt this.
Just now The kindle fire stopped responding when booting up, with a pop up stating Demo mode has stopped responding - with options to wait or close demo mode. I choose close demo mode, but after struggling to boot it fired up in demo mode again.
Anyone know how to force a crash on a kindle fire - this may open access to the security menu.
Hello again - Just an update in case any of this is useful
if I follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923010
with this page which is linked there www.jayceooi.com/2011/12/13/how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver/
The unit still installs as an MTP device. The best luck I have had was running the Install_drivers.bat file from the KFU utility which gives me an unsigned driver pop-up warning. when completed the system says it installes the google, INC, (winUSB)androidUSBdeviceclass (12/06/2010 4.0.0000.00000). However in device manager its still listed under portable devices as a kindle using the MTP driver. If I attempt to update and point the unit to the SDK altered files (using above guide) or the KFU drivers, it is still the same.
I am ready to pull my hair out LOL. But I am still pretty sure that the problem lies with not being able to access the security menu on the kindle.
Hey all another update with a bit of progress but I am stuck
I followed this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830108
and managed to get the Kindle recognised as a Android device after I had installed the google USB drivers
I then updated the drivers in the same way (The only driver it would accept was the one from the Qmenu folders).
Now the device is recognised as a kindle fire - when the window is expanded it states its a Android ADB interface.
I tried the advice in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927710 Bujt I cannot get the device to be recognised as an android ADB composit device.
(still shows as offline or does not appear under the ADB devices command, even though shown in device manager)
When updating the drivers as described in the guide, when I pick let me pick from list of device drivers I do have a "%compositADBinterface%, but no matter what I try once installed the device still reads as a kindle fire => Android ADB Interface. If I attempt the process again the "%compositADBinterface%" is still there.
Any ideas people?
I'm curious as to how you ended up with a demo version.
Open cmd... navigate to sdk\platform-tools\
type adb devices
Does it list a serial number?
Under Device Manager in windows, you should see it listed as Kindle Fire. When you expand that, it should show "Android ADB Interface"
If you see that then adb is installed. You may not be able to do anything without a factory cable. These guys on here should be able help you install a non-demo version on to your device.
Good luck!

Hello again - thanks for the reply.
My friend worked in one of the stores that was recently a victim of the recession. I asked him how much they were selling the ex-demo stuff, the same evening he dropped by and handed it to me - He says his manager said he could take it .
Yes in Device Manager now the device is seen as a Kindle Fire and when expanded it states its an Android ADB Interface. I am a noob but from what Ive read so far this means the driver isnt correctly installed. As it should read "android ADB composit device"
Using the ADB devices command , it is blank under the list of devices.
Not sure if this helps, but if I right click the kindle in my computer and look at the properties, I can view the serial number there.
Looking into the factory cable options now
Again thanks for the help

stirky,
First, let me apologize for the delay in getting to your issue, we have been working on a new package for the Kindle
which can be viewed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
Let us know what you think. Now to your problem. We have worked with the demo Kindles, they have security software
to eliminate program installation, even if you allow or turn on "Allow Installation of Programs". I do not understand how
someone what able to breakthrough the block since it is done at the OS Level. Maybe they hacked the Kernel? Anyways,
the task is not easy. What I would do is Fast a new system.img, boot.img and recovery.img using this software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
If we need to flash the Kernel I will add that functionality too. What this will do is completely remove the Demo and
control/security software and turn the demo Kindle into a regular Kindle. We can ship the required Factory USB Cable
tomorrow. Read the post and send us a PM.
No worries about the delay in getting back to me! I was quite proud I finanlly managed to get it recognised on my system after trail and error.
First Question - I am now assuming that anything I need to do to this unit requires a Factory Cable? Am I correct?
. Now a note - Not sure if this helps. While playing around I did notice this little quirk.
After I had edited the google USB driver as mentioned in the above post, My system first recognised the device as an Adroid ADB interface under abndroid device. While checking back though my edit I noticed that I mistyped Composite. Rectified this and then re-installed as before. Now the devices is rocognised under Andoid Device as an Android ADB Composite interface. I then proceeded to up date the drivers agains from the Qmenu Drivers Folder. This makes the system list the device as a Kindle Fire and under this is states its now just an android ADB Interface.
I then had a brainwave and made an edit of this file and inserted the same edit as the google USB driver. This all installs fine. But still only recognised as an android ADB Interface under Kindle fire.
Does is have to be recognised as a composite device? or is a Andoird ADB Interface suffcient?
I assume I need a factory cable and will get one ASAP if thats the case.

stirky,
That is perfect Android ADB Interface is sufficient.
Yes, you will need a Factory USB Cable. we do sell them and we are shipping a bunch tomorrow. I would ship it
to you Priority at no additional charge, just PM me your name, address, city, state, zip, phone and email.
You would get the cable in about 3 days. We sell the cables at our direct cost to all XDA Developer Members.
great thread... I just picked up the KF HD 8.9 demo unit myself... I have yet to install the SDK, but please let us know of any developments...
thanks...
Obtain a factory cable. Fastboot flash the system.img,recovery.img and boot.img. Then give me results. Use kindle fire first aid program.

wukster,
The Kindle Fire 8.9" does not need the Factory USB Cable, just use Option 10 in the interface. There is a known Bug in the Kindle Fire 8.9" Bootloader, if you get stuck in Fastboot, let us know, we have the fix.
Please wait until we do some updates on the software and then download it anytime after Monday 8:00am - we are doing critical updates for Kindle Fire 8.9" models.

Hi I dont want to hijack your thread or anything but i was wondering if you could possibly help me root my demo unit as well. This one is actually from my store but we dont keep the demos on display and would like to have it for personal use when its just 1 person in the store. (we are located in a mall so we often have just one person in the morning). I would really appreciate it if you could maybe walk me through the steps to get it recognized on adb. I have a KFHD 7". Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Got it to read as "Android Composite ADB Interface" which I believe was the first step to making it work. I need a Factory Cable which from what I understand requires rewiring the B side (or the Micro USB side) of the cable so that the wire is connected to both Pin 4 and Pin 1. If so then I made a make shift one at work today and just need to solder it. Please advise if I have done anything incorrectly. I would also be interested in purchasing a factory cable from you, Prokennexusa, just in case I need it in the future or if I mess up on making mine.
Demo Kindle - Please Help
Hi
Please excuse ,my ignorance but I am struggling to get my kindle fire to work with the software I downloaded. I followed every step in the instructions and all seemed to be going well until I actually attempted to do anything with it.
I got the demo kindle from a shop clearance but cannot get the demo mode removed. I have a factory cable and the kindle goes into 'fastboot' mode with the cable but doesn't seem to behave any differently after the software states it is complete.
I have included some screen dumps of the messages I received, I apologise if I am just being dumb but I am lost?
I would be quite happy to just have a working kindle...I don't need android on it if this makes it more difficult......please help
Thanks in advance

Hey
This is My first post and im allittle nervous so......
My girlfriend was cheated out of some money when she bought a Fire Hd 8.9 from some girl. it turned out to be the Demo version.
I was able to remove the demo by going to the app store, it asked to set up wifi so i did that, loading file manager then going online downloading 1market app apk. they asked for permission to allow non market apk to be installed so i granted that.
then i went to amazon downloaded newest version of fire 8.9 placed it on update folder from my file manager.
then i downloaded adw launcher apk from 1market store.
This launcher allowed me to access device from settings and from there i updated my kindle fire. it removed the demo version and now running latest version and no demo.
I did all this after rooting the device but i see no way that this method wont work on non rooted devices.
Only difference is that there is no lock screen on the kindle. but besides that works great......
This answering questions thing is hard please dont ever make me do this again....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I was able to get the demo 8.9 loaded with the regular Kindle software but, with a slightly different method.
I used Soupmagnet's restore image LINUX script that flashes a pre-rooted 8.9 Kindle version 8.1.4 image to the kindle using fastboot.
http://www.adrive.com/public/xvZeWC/KFHD8.9.restore.zip
While the rest of the demo unit is shut down, fastboot will work if the script is executed prior to plugging in the tablet.
The script will set waiting to see fastboot (waiting for device).
When the tablet is booted up, it passes briefly thorough a fastboot cycle and the script will catch it and keep the tablet in fastboot (pretty much as the KF 1 does). The script then loaded version 8.4.1 and success. You can then download the latest Kindle OS and loose root and be back to a stock configuration or continue and push 2nd bootloader, twrp,etc. and or new ROM.
Success of course depends on having the USB and ADB drivers loaded on LINUX (Using Soupmagnet's soupkit will do that for you).
You will have to try the soupkit again package and see if it will work for you. This package is intended for all kindles I believe.
I had all the drivers loaded using the first soupkit package and the drivers worked to see and communicate with the 8.9 tablet.
Original Soupkit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038
New "Soupkit Again"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162986
However, I installed the new "Soupkit Again" package over the first Soupkit package and while the drivers still work, I lost all access to the Soupkit utility itself (which is not used to restore the 8.1.4 image to the Kindle 8.9). A little off topic, but, I would like to know how to get my Soupkit utility back working. (The soupkit.sh script is missing after installing the new "Soupkit Again" over the original Soupkit).
Hey, I have been trying to root my fathers Kindle Fire HD so he can get the google play store and the google apps(maps, streetview etc) but I seem to have hit a wall!
I have installed the drivers and the Android SDK Tools program etc and got to the point where I open RunMe.bat through command prompt, but nothing happens on the Kindle, and now when I connect it to my computer, instead of popping up in my devices it isn't displayed at all and says "USB Compatibility" and a message about free file transer utilities on the actual device.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
If I have to restore the kindle, how do I back it up? is that all handle by the cloud? Will it keep all his apps/games/books etc?
Many thanks!

Which driver did you install? Sounds like the adb composite isn't loaded.
First: Ensure adb is enabled under settings.
Second: Read this to see if you installed the driver under adb device or adb composite. It needs to be the composite.
Install your drivers again.
Go to device manager and right click on your KFHD.
Click update driver.
Browse my Computer for driver software.
Let Me pick from a list of device
Show all and hit next
Hit have disk and browse to your directory where your driver is stored at.
After you click ok there will be a few adb choices. Always select adb composite device. Else half the dev adb tools cant detect the KFHD.
After that it will install the appropriate driver(64 or 32 bit)
Whallah you have installed the drivers.
***NOTE****
If you have already plugged in your KFHD and windows has already installed the incorrect driver don't panic. Right click the Kindle and click uninstall. Check delete driver and ok. Then you can proceed to install the right one.

That's odd. No one ever reported anything about MTP drivers for the Kindle, I never had to either, and MTP doesn't appear on my drivers list at all. What Windows are you running and where did you purchase the device?
That`s a language unsupported issue try again just uninstalling the drivers windows tries to install for MTP. Unplug replug or reboot pc and replug. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff544886(v=vs.85).aspx
I faced a similar problem (Win8 64-bit):
- ADB was working
- PTP (camera) was working with the possibility to access the pictures and DCIM folder via the PC
but
- the KFHD wasn't accessible via MTP anymore since I've updated the rom to CM10.1
The solution for me was to update the driver of the shown up ADB device in the device manager by choosing:
update --> selection from list --> NOT the shown Kindle but MTP --> Microsoft --> universal MTP driver
And now all is working again.
Good luck!

I had the same issue with CM10 and TWRP not mounting. I ended up backing up CM10 and flashing back to amazon os to mount.
Sorry didn't mean to bump this my xda app glitches when I told it to quote something on one thread, save the post and then use it on another thread and intended up bumping this. My bad.

I'm having a similar issue connecting my Kindle Fire HD to a Windows 8 Lenovo laptop. The ADB drivers installed correctly but I can't get the MTP Drivers to install. Its gives a "Code 28".
I've tried to follow the steps from Mistaz to update the MTP Drivers, however when I select Microsoft I don't see any option for "universal MTP driver". Any idea why?
Did u uncheck show compatible devices? That may help. If its not there it could be something else, I am not too familiar with windows 8, nor want to be from a certain standpoint.

Thanks for the advice. I think my issue was a bad initial install of the ADP and Kindle drivers. I uninstalled the drivers and did a system restore to a time before I plugged my Kindle into my laptop. I then followed the guide on Amazon "Setting Up Your Development Environment" to setup the Kindle drivers and now everything seems to be working.
I have tried all the process mentioned din this thread, but none of them have worked for me. I have Windows 7, a Gen 1 KF, 8.9 KFHD, and KFHD 7. Windows file explorer will see the gen 1 and the 8.9, but not the 7, although it will run ADB commands to it just fine. When I look in device manager the MTP part of the kindle has the yellow triangle and I can not find any MTP drivers at all that will work. I have searched here for MTP drivers but have not been able to find any, so if I have just missed them can someone point them out please?

Hi,

I have a problem I have a kindle fire and getting the drivers installed is the problem
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.
I tried to Go to Device Manager, under Portable Devices, right-click on MTP USB Device, and then click on Update Driver Software to update the MTP USB device driver. I then Selected “Browse my computer for driver software” to locate and install MTP USB device driver software manually.I then Selected “Let me pick from a List of device drivers on your computer”. A list will show installed driver software compatible with the device but I dont know what to pick
can someone help me please
is there an alternative solution to this Problem?

I tried what they said nothing worked
I cant Reinstall win7 because it is an OEM
I tried to install alternative driver for the MTP drivers the triangle went away or MTP error disappeared but I don't know if I choose the right one
I choose from a list
when I plug in the kindle a different message comes up
"some computers require a free file transfer utility to copy files between the computer and you kindle."
I have WMP the latest version
what do I need to get this working is there something I can download and install to override this issue.
Is your version of windows 7 a non us versions, because that's what I believe his issue is. Also your PC should have a windows 7 key on it so u can always reformat it, but you need a disk, and if you don't have one I can't really help you obtain one because I am not aware of if its illegal to DL stuff u already own off then internet and i would rather not get banned from this forum if it is. However if MTP is very important and u absolutely need it, go to ubuntu's website and download a desktop live CD, if you don't know your processor type juse 32 bit, but most modern PC's are 64 bit. Anyways if all goes well after burning it to a cd or making a bootable flash drive, u can boot into a live os and it should have mtp and u can transfer stuff. I on the other hand cannot do this because I use an older version of Ubuntu on a small partition and it is a pain to upgrade distros and I hate the new interface, but from what I have read the new versions of Ubuntu will work with your kindle. You can always install Linux along side windows but if you don't know a thing about resizing partitions, then i wouldn't suggest it because u might wipe your windows os and that would suck. BTW ubuntu is completely legal compared to what I was questioning above about windows. Yay Linux!!!

how do I check the status of my windows OS and I am running UBUNTU 12.04 alongside my windows OS
Im not that familar with Ubuntu as I would like to. I tried to sync my kindle to ubuntu, try to root my kindle and it was very complex
more than on windows
Funny, I find it easier to root on Ubuntu than on windows, no driver problems and then binary bash script works the same way. I am unfamiliar with "syncing" a kindle, especially on Ubuntu, I never sync mine I just use it like I would a flash drive, drag and drop files to it. Should work the name way on Ubuntu I think, I use an older version of Ubuntu that can't open it as an MTP device, so i just push and pull with adb. My only problem with helping you doing this on Ubuntu is your using 12.04, and I don't use the new ones because I don't like the new interface, i use gnome based desktop environment. So I can't exactly say where to click to open the kindle, but if I had to guess you can simply open a nautilus window from that bar on the left of the screen, any thing on it that's a folder will do, from there there should be a pane on the left if the window where the kindle would show up as a device u can click and view the contents of. I'm kinda basing this off what happens when I use a camera or iPod on mine, I assume kindle would show up the same way. If this is not the case you may have to install a package for an MTP browser, again not familiar with the interface and from what I remember trying it last time they took out the synaptic package manager by default, so I would have to tell u a command to run in a terminal to install it instead if need be. Tell me how it goes I will try to help as much as I can.
I kinda feel like I put too much information in this post...
Oh and as for telling your windows os, it may tell if you right click my computer( on start menu) and hit properties. Another way to throw a guess at it is ask yourself "Do you live in the USA?". Windows I think will say something about it in the properties of my computer though, if not you can try running winver from the run box it may display something useful. I don't have my PC booted up into windows right now so i can't verify this, and I kinda host a minecraft server on it in Linux most of the time so I don't shut it down unless I need to and its empty.

Thanks a bunch!
The answer to get a Kindle recognised by Widnows 7
plug kindle into pc
ignore unpleasant driver message
enter device manager and click the following:
update driver software
browse my computer for driver software
let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select 'portable device' from the list
select 'standard mtp device' from the list
select 'mtp usb device' from the list
click next"
This worked after hours of trying to get my Kindle to work in windows 10!
Thanks @Achilles1783
After sending 13 hours working, search and hitting a brick wall, I decide to post. I have full installed all drivers for the my fire (5.1.4) in an attempt to downgrade it. Been to rootjunky and gotten the supertool. Downloaded the full Android Studio. Dow loaded the kindle fire usb driver and the kindle fire HD ADB driver. Downloaded QemuRoot, root_fire. All to no help. Mutilpe computer restarts. Wipe the device and cache. Still nothing. I have used the USB cord it came with and a high quality OEM cord. Still nothing. Been to computer management in an attempt to manually install the driver there. Still nothing. I am at my wits end. As it stands, the kindle when under Amazon system recovery <3e> is not connecting to my computer when I try to apply update from ADB. The message presented by my computer is "KFFOWI-----------------------X no driver found" Any suggestion, ANY WILL BE HELPFUL!
Thank you in advance

Here you have it:
Install manually in the windows drivers list, Fire Device -Android composite ADB interface, over KFFOWI. Then install Stock Rom via ADB. Enjoy!

I have the same problem, how do you install driver manually? On Windows I have only the update driver option and when I give him the location of adb USB driver. Windows tell me that there is no driver available for the device...
Any updates? I hit the exact same problem, tried everything online, still I cannot find a suitable driver for the "Kffowi" (with exclamation mark)..
Driver install
Go to device manager, right click on KFFOWI, click on update driver. Click Browse my computer. On the next screen, click the bottom option, "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
Scroll down and click on Fire Devices
Look for "Android Composite ADB Interface" and select it, then hit next.
Driver will install, confirm that you want windows to use the driver, and bam. Done.

Running LineageOS 12.1-20181218-UNOFFICIAL-ford. amonet-ford-v1.4.1 installed on PC and rebooted. There isn't even the sound that a new USB-device is connected nor anything happening in the Windows device manager when pluggin in KFFOWI. Enable Android debugging is grayed out. How should I proceed, if I wan to upgrade to [ford,austin] Lineage-14.1 [17 JAN 2021]?
LineageOS 12.1-20181218-UNOFFICIAL-ford is working fine, but has become very slow.
