ADB-Drivers / Root - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I know this is the Dev-Section, but there is no Q&A-section for the kindle fire 2
So, I just can't get my Fire 2 working with ADB. It does not show up in adb devices-listing.
I think that there is a driver issue and that all drivers found on the web are not for the kindle fire 2.
Hope anyone can help me.
Thanks in advance

Get the drivers from Android SDK

Great question.
You will need a PC, MAC or Linux to Root the Kindle Fire HD.
The other option is to send it in to a company and have them Root

You can PM us and we will give you the details.

When I go to properties on the usb it says unknown device and says error 43.
I have tried 4 cables and same thing. I tried all usb ports and also diff computer.
Also I tried updating driver but it says already updated.

Try the drivers in my signature, if it still persists I would worry because typically I remember the equivalent to this message back when I was running xp, and I usually only got that if there was a short somewhere in the USB connection.

Remove the old drivers first and then install the new drivers. More details about what you did, where you are at and where you want to be would help.

What made you want to switch from a factory cable to a regular USB? Hold the power button down for 30 seconds until it powers down. Now use a fastboot cord only and plug into tablet and computer. When you type fastboot into cmd, what does it say? Have you tried running Kindle Fire FirstAide yet?

it says waiting for device
plus i read somewhere to unbrick u use the FACTORY cable to go into fastboot mode only than you switch to REGULAR cable after.

You need to read some more then. There is a reason steps are listed. Your ADB drivers must be set up proper. Try to run KFFA with the fastboot cord attached in fastboot.

Can you screenshot the device manager with the error and maybe the page with the hardware id's on the details tab. To screenshot, hit the print screen button on your keyboard, open paint and hit paste and save the file.

here is what you have requested.
also if i may add when i boot up it comes to a red screen and i cannot do anything after that. it stays on that screen
Ah that is very bad, I have seen a few cases of this happening on the forum, for all I know it could be something shorted out on the motherboard or a loose solder joint on one of the data terminals for the micro USB plug on the kindle. This is how it shows up with a normal cable right? Not the fastboot cable? Because I could understand it doing this with the fastboot cable possibly, but not the normal one.

Once you bootloop or in your case , get a red screen, your device won't be readable. The USB won't recognize your drivers. Set ADB drivers up right and use a factory cord (not USB cord) run KFFA or you can try this link too. Can't post the link.nXDA app strikes again.
Search KFHS system.IMG tool. Try that.

Did your kindle go into fast boot when using the fat boot cable?
Of it did you should be able to fix it using the first aid thread and proper drivers.

No ,it didn't do nothing. Just like the regular cable. "Waiting for device" and nothing. I dont even know is it has any power left in the battery.
OK I have 3 questions:
1. Does the kindle display fastboot in yellowish letters on the screen when you plug the fastboot cable into the kindle from the PC?
2. If it does, did you switch to a normal cable after it displays that?
3. What fastboot command are you running in command prompt?

First of all thanks a lot for replay-ing to my post really apreciate,but i dont get any respond with the fastboot cable,the kindle"s display remains black all of the time.i just recieve the specific sound(from windows) that a device is conected,i"ve tried looking for the conection im device manager but it"s not to be found
Let me explain what and when the kindle stop working
I"ve instaled adb drivers,sdk java,sdk android with the google drivers,conect the kindle to usb cable and enable adb from menu,the rooting proces start to begin,i"ve managet to root my kindle,superuser appear in my kindle and all of that,but now the tutorial i"ve watch said that if i want to get rid off kindle android and get my self the original android i"ve have to folow cuple of more steps. And at the next reboot the kindle stops powering on.
Thank you again for your help.
What did you use to root it? Actually that might not be the right question because I'm still a little confused, did this happen after rooting it and rebooting, or after you tried to install 2nd boot loader+twrp. If what you originally were trying to say was you flashed the 8.9” bootloader to a 7" model, then it is hard bricked.

I"ve used kindle fire hd 8.9 root insead of 7"
And if is it hard brick is there any chance to unbrick it in the future?or the kindle is dead for good?
They both use the same method to root... If that's all you did I doubt its hard bricked. And hard bricks may be recoverable in the near future thanks to kurohyou.

At this point it doesn't really matter.
OP, if all you get is a black screen, then your device is hard bricked. It can be fixed, but it won't be easy...

This is true for OP. My quote was to a new poster who came in at end. OP most likely hard bricked, agree.

[Q] Upgrading KFHD 2012 from 7.2.1

Hi there fellow xda developers.
I have a kindle fire HD 2012 on os version 7.2.1. I would like to update this to a later version in order to install a 2nd bootloader. I have tried using SRT 1.3.5 to update it but it ends up bricking the kindle so i had to use SRT 1.2 to get it back to stock. I can't update it using OTA as the kindle itself is disabled and is no longer recognized by amazon, it wont even let me sign in.
Is there any way of updating it.
Thanks in advance.
I'm assuming you have a factory/fastboot cable, download Kindle Fire First Aide and select the option that says Kindle Fire HD 7 and find the option that says completely restore Kindle to 7.2.3
