I had to go into device manager, uninstall the kindle driver, and then replug it, and let them reinstall before mine would recognize.
have you edit the adb usb ini ?

Hey guys. I have been coming to these forums for a bit over a year now just reading posts and decided to make an account to get help with a problem I am having. I got a Kindle Fire almost a year ago and I rooted it successfully as soon as I got it. I installed FFF and TWRP to it and an ICS version loaded to it. However recently I tried to update the KF to the Jellybean version as well as update my TWRP version. Well, long story short, I got it stuck in the FFF fastboot.
Normally this wouldn't be a problem since I could just use the KFU to set the bboot back to normal, however the Kindle is also listed as an Unknown Device in my device manager and it says all the drivers are up to date. I tried manually overriding this by going into the device manager -> updating driver software -> and selecting from a list on my pc, however I either get an error saying there is no compatible file (which it is the sdk google usb driver downloaded for this exact reason so I know it should work) or I am getting the message saying windows thinks my driver is already up to date. I can't use the command prompt or adb to even locate the device. I am getting frustrated and need help. Thanks!

You say you have FFF installed, right? What version...better yet...what does the boot logo look like? A yellow triangle?

Yes, It had the yellow triangle with a flame in the middle...as to the version I don't know since I got a new pc since installation on the kindle and don't have those files available at the moment.

I just fixed it after many, many hours of work. I found a solution by bootloading a usb stick of ubuntu and using firekit to reset it into normal boot where KFU couldn't. That guy who wrote the program and article is a savior. Here's the link for anyone else who has this same problem and thanks for the help! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
Trying to root my girlfriends Kindle fire HD, but ADB never seems to find it.
Any suggestions on what to do?
I've got the drivers installed on on two computers (win 8, vista). I have ADB turned on in the device.
She has a MAC, and when she tries to use the Root process here it asks for the root password. Neither of us know what that would be.
Any help here?

Thanks, didn't realize it was asking for root on the Mac and not the device.
Device is rooted, now just have to get the market on it and then decide if she wants a different ROM
Hi Folks,
i am completely desperate and really don´t know what to do. I researched the whole internet yesterday, read so many Topics regarding my problem, but i still can´t solve it.
My goal is to root my Kindle Fire with the Kindle Fire Utility but therefore i need the driver with adb and fastboot. So i downloaded the last version of KFU 0.96 unzipped it like recommended to c:/kfu and installed the drivers through the install_drivers.bat
Afterwards i uninstalled the "Kindle" Driver over the device manager and rebootet my system. I reconnected the KF but he used the same driver for my device again.
When i now try to actualize the driver on my own, i never see this Android or Google Driver in my overview and i really dont know why?
What am i missing? Why i cant pick this driver on my own? Any helpful suggestions?
Edit: what i am start thinking about is that i might have a wrong driver in the package? because when i try to pick the driver on my own i got an error message that this driver is not compatible for my windows. do i may have to change anything inside the code of the driver???

Did you try searching on YouTube? If you type how to root kindle fire there are a dozen videos for the original kindle fire. Which kindle do you own?
Hello Guys!
I currently own a Kindle Fire 7" HD 7.4.6(Rooted) but I have a little problem getting my kindle to show up on 'My Computer' (Trying to transfer some music to my device) I have looked everywhere for this one specific question that I cant find an answer to hopefully it could be solved here... Anyways before my device was rooted Windows couldn't detect the device plugged in but here is the confusing part after I found out about rooting, I went on to try to do it and I managed to successfully root the kindle (following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351201) installed the ADB drivers and yes "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31" program did detect my Kindle and rooted it which is weird because I mean Windows couldnt detect my kindle but that program did? I can plug in my kindle and it is detected as an ADB and even shows up in my device manager, but my question is, how do I get my kindle to be recognized so I can manage it (i.e. adding music/pictures) Another weird thing is that yes my kindle is detected but you know the sound that Windows makes when you plug something in via USB? Well when I plug in my kindle that sound is different I dont know if it has anything to do with this problem... Well that is my question hopefully someone will come to save the day!
Is the kindle listed under portable devices in the device manager?

Actually, no it doesnt, when I go in Device manager it has its own little tab called Kindle and when I click on the plus sign next to it it says ADB

Plug your Kindle Fire HD in to USB port. Go to your device management. Look for the driver that is being detected right now. Right click on it and click and choose properties. Click to uninstall the driver. Now unplug the KFHD and plug it back in. Let the driver install. This should fix it. Restarting your computer after uninstalling the driver might be tried as well. removing the root hubs is sometimes necessary as well.
