Did you find out a way to solve problem ?
If so, please let me know.
Thanks,
Hey,
I keep on getting the "USB Device not recognized" message on my rooted Kindle Fire HD with stock ROM 7.2.3.
Tried on several Windows 7&8 machines to no avail. The USB ports are checked and working with an external harddrive, mouse etc.
Does anyone have a clue? It actually seems to be an issue on the Kindle device itself and isn't reporting itself as an existing device?
I tried several things, like:
- Holding power button 20+ sec while the USB is connected.
- Reboot PC etc.
- ADB, verifying the drivers the 0x1949 etc.
Nothing helps. Please let me know if you know the solution!
Thanks

Well, it seems like you forgot about one very important thing: the USB!
Use only the original cable that came with the Fire. Not anything else! There is a reason why the company gives a USB cable when you buy the device, you know.
Cable isn't the problem

Unfortunately I already tried with the official cable. Same problem. Would a reset to factory defaults resolve this? And do I then keep my root access?
any luck with this?...i just got a Kindle Fire HD and am having the same problem...ADB drivers seem to be working fine, and the Kindle is rooted, but it does not show up at all in Windows Explorer, so i can't transfer anything to it
also, i've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the ADB drivers several times, but still nothing in Win Explorer...one thing i notice, even though i delete/uninstall all Kindle drivers i see in Device Manager, including "Hidden Devices", when i go to reinstall the drivers, i get a pop-up windows saying ADB drivers are already installed, and asking if i would still like to re-install the drives...how do i delete everything relating to the Kindle on my PC, so that i can do a completely fresh install of the drivers?
Nope still nothing.

Hmmm the ADB drivers aren't working for me, so you are one step closer! I still have the problem and am still considering a full reset, but afraid of bricking....
Both of you, download this file and install the drivers over the old ones, see if it helps: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/vprplelu9zx7s2o/kindle_fire_usb_driver.rar?dl=1

didn't help...i even spent several hours doing a Win7 "Repair Install", thinking that would help...but disappointingly, after the repair, same issue....Win7 does not recognize it as a mass storage device, and doesn't show it in Win Explorer...i did install the ADB drivers, and do have ADB access, just nothing through Win Explorer :crying: .... on another computer also running Win7 x64, the Kindle shows up fine in WinExplorer
aaaaarggggghhhhh....:crying: i did a totally fresh install of Win7 x64 on a brand new hard drive...and this computer still won't recognize the Kindle as a mass storage device?!?!?....so i have to assume there is something wrong with the computer...but ADB works, and i was able to root the Kindle with this computer
Be sure ADB is enabled on the device itself if you have ever wiped the sdcard or have a custom ROM installed.

i got the same problem, in my thread i also posted many screenshots but nobody still has found a solution....
i was never able to get one of my PCs to recognize the KFHD as a USB storage device, but at least ADB works...so i've decided to just wirelessly connect (w/ AirDroid, WiFi File Transfer,etc.) to the Kindle for file/media transfers...an even better solution than using a USB cable :victory:
on device manager what do you see?
(i solved my problem doing that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167129&page=4)
My device still doesn't work
For me it still doesn't work. Didn't do a full reset, because I am too scared I will loose my Root access which will make my device completely useless...... Going to contact Amazon support.

I don't see ADB stuff.... ADB doesn't work anymore either....
I've noticed with other devices that I've rooted that windows is VERY tempermental when it comes to adb and windows recognizing any android device. If you have everything installed correctly, I have actually found sometimes simply disconecting your kindle from your computer and rebooting both and then reconnecting helps sometimes. Like I said windows is VERY tempermental. Worked for me more than once with my phone and my kindle.

Funny thing is, I have two KFHD 7" both rooted. Windows sees one but not the other. Device manager shows Kindle Fire- Android ADB Interface on the one not showing up in Explorer and shows same plus Portable Device-Kindle Fire on working one.
Have been able to install 2nd boot loader on the working one and CM 10, but can't do anything else with the other. I have a fast boot cable and have restored it back and wiped several times to no avail.
One thing I noticed, The one that doesn't recognize in explorer only shows to have 12.9 GB space while other working one shows 27.9Gb space.
I have been successful with a KFHD 8.9, KF 7" 1st gen and KF2 and (1) KFHD 7" in rooting, 2nd boot loader and custom ROMs (along with many other Android devices), but not this one 7" HD.
This thing is driving me crazy.
Help Plz
EDIT: Okay going thru my notes I think that I have figured out what has caused this (still don't know how to fix). It seems that after the first root, wifi was on and it updated itself to 7.3.1. It is only after this, that I can't get ADB and flash boot loader or files to SD card. Using KFHD rescue tool and KFFirst aid I have flashed back to 7.2.3 with root (tried both) , but still can't get ADB. Fastboot with factory cable works fine though. With the kindle booted up on 7.2.3 rooted or 7.3.1 non root, Windows still doesn't see the device. Device manager shows ADB device but not the SD card part of the device. Is there any way to recover everything back to stock (non root) to start fresh?
Finally Fixed

Problem solved:
Here is what I did to fix the problem.
If you haven't preformed this fix for windows, do this first. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36373627
First plug in device to computer and navigate to device manager. Then go to kindle fire and expand to show Android ADB Interface. Right click on it and select "Scan for Hardware changes". Let it run. If it finds nothing don't worry. Then right click again and select update driver. Navigate to locate drivers myself. If you have KFFirstAide or other utility locate to where the ADB drivers are in that file and select ok. It will go through the process and install the drivers. After doing this you should now be able to see the device through explorer and transfer files.
I now have 2nd bootloader and CM 10.1 (Hashcode) up and running great. Hope this helps.
Hello,
I bricked my kindle while trying to revert it back to factory software. Since I rooted it I formatted my computer and didn't have ADB installed anymore. I have installed the adb drivers, java, and android sdk.
I have a factory cable and when I plug it in to my comp it loads the fastboot logo so that part appears to be working, however when I try to use the kf recovery tool it gets stuck on waiting for device. I try using command adb devices and nothing is listed. In device manager it is listed as "Tate-PVT-08" under other devices.
Not sure how to proceed on fixing this.
Thanks for your help in advance.

looks like you have a Kindle Fire HD, this is the Original Fire section.
What Firmware file did you use?

try KFHD System.img Restore Tool
Thanks for your reply.
I apologize for posting in the incorrect board. I do indeed have an HD. I have tried using the KFHD system.img restore tool. It gets stuck at waiting for device. I just plugged in my old android phone, let the drivers install, and used command adb devices and now that is listed as a device. So apparently adb is functioning but not finding my kindle when I plug that in.

I have installed the kindle usb drivers through the SDK manager because when I try to update the unknown device named Tate-PVT-08 it will not install.
I think I've figured it out. The key was when entering the update driver window and click browse my computer, instead of looking for a file location clicking pick from list of drivers on my computer. It installed the kindle driver and is now listed as kindle fire - android adb device.
Great, you can change Title of you first post to [Solved] Bricked - won't connect with adb
and I will see if this can get moved to Kindle HD section.

DUDE. READING THROUGH THE FORUMS I WAS SEARCHING FOR SOME GUIDANCE, AND YOU SIR, HAVE FIXED MY KINDLE. I LOVE YOU. omggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
I bricked my rooted Kindle into a bootloop, and would like to get to transfer files to my computer before unbricking it. I don't think I have any specific backup software installed (though have heard of firefirefire and twrp). My main concern is about file recovery, as I have found some guides for unbricking my Kindle, but any advice for that is still appreciated. I don't know a whole lot about this kind of stuff, so I really want to make sure I get things off safely. Thanks!
Hey keychain, I'm galaxy, there are a multitude of guides out there but before I can help, before you bricked it, did you have adb checked? Also what windows version is your PC (OR WHAT OS). I askt the OS question, because I was in this situation, and its near IMPOSSIBLE to install adb and fastboot on windows 8/8.1 even after disableing signature validation. (Atleast for me)

My adb works but it doesn't show up the device. I have Windows 7, and I've already tried KFFFirstAide. Currently downloading KFHD_SRT. I have the fastboot cable but I can't pass the fastboot logo. What can I do? KFFirst Aide doesn't work when I gve administrative privileges but I kind of works without it. Really weird. It appears in Device Manager without any triangles. Shows up as "Android ADB Interface"
