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.

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
I bricked my Fire HD 7" a while back and decided to start working on it again.
I was doing some mods before I bricked it. The device, once it boots into Kindle's OS is EXTREMEMELEY slow. All the icons are blank, and it is extremely slow to do anything on but it kinda works. The menu to reset the device doesn't work, and the keyboard and other stuff barely works if at all as well.
I believe the unit used to be rooted, but somewhere along my bad fixing process I believe it is 'locked' again.
I am currently working on making a factory cable from the droid website in where you solder a cable from 1 to 4.
Following that guide. Any tips?
Thank you very much
Edit:
I can boot the KF HD second gen into fastboot mode but no idea what to do next. I have tried almost everything. I can't instal adb or even get the drivers to work. The device shows up with Windows giving me an error message. Yes, I have Android sdk and Java installed with proper Google usb drivers and api in there modified to add Kindle Fire HD in there. And yes, I have tried to manually add drivers. It just won't work, and or show life.
This sounds like a bad qemu root... look in the /data folder for a ".prop" file and delete it if you can. I would check the device manager for a usb composite device with a hardware id vid of 1949 and uninstall it if I were you. Also try the drivers in my signature, they should work with all modes but you tend to have to uninstall the driver between going from normal os to fastboot and recovery.

ok lemme reply now that i'm on my pc so i can type better, the kindle drivers are a bit finicky, between switching between fastboot, recovery, and the normal os it tends to make you have to uninstall the device to reinstall the drivers, and if adb was enabled in the os typically it shows up as a composite device that you don't tend to notice, so if you goto the device manager, look under usb devices, and see some composite devices right click them and hit properties and goto the details tab, look for one with a hardware id with something like "USB\VID_1949" it will have other stuff after that but i don't feel the need to put it. If you find one of those then uninstall the composite device and search for new hardware or just unplug and plug the kindle back in, it should be able to install the drivers now. Otherwise just uninstall any previous kindle devices when switching between boot modes.
As for the other part i was saying, you could probably just fix this if adb is enabled in the main os, just connect to the kindle from an adb shell and cd into the /data folder and look for a ".prop" file(run the command ls if you don't know that much about linux it will list the contents of the directory you are in.), i don't remember the name, but part of the qemu root process sometimes leaves that file there and causes the symtoms you mentioned, deleting the file fixes it but i don't remeber its name offhand. so if you see a .prop file in the /data folder then run "rm whatevername.prop"

Nope, nothing shows up in device manager in those areas. The Kindle shows up under portable devices. NOTHING works in uninstalling or changing it's drivers.
I can't get ADB no matter what it seems.
So what about when its in fastboot mode? If it goes into fastboot, uninstall the portable device and try searching for new hardware, if it cant find a driver then point it to mine. If you can get fastboot working you can just use kindle fire first aid to restore the device.

Drivers don't work in fastboot. I keep getting This Device cannot start code 10.I got the drivers to work in normal mode now and have ADB installed, but I can't find the ADB devices even with kill-server and adb devices.
Thank you everyone for your help, I got the issue fixed.
I used FFFirstAide.
That didn't work for me for a while because my fastboot cable had a disconnected data lined.
Hello. At first this may seem like I have not done my due diligence, and am posting a duplicated problem I have seen posted all over about using ADB to connect to a Kindle Fire HD 7' (mine is 2nd gen). I have installed jave/android sdks, eclipse, have updated everything, read through countless threads, followed amazon instructions to set up my environment for running apps on my kindle. The emulator is set up and runs. Here is where I am having serious issues:
My Kindle when I started showed up under portable devices in the device manager. I uninstalled the driver and have tried both the Kindle drivers from extras/amazon as well as google usb drivers. (I also even tried changing the google driver .inf file to include code for a Kindle).
This is where my problems seems to be unique to the countless thread posts I have read through. The drivers for both methods result in the driver showing "Android ADB Interface" without the Composite keyword. I have manually changed the driver by selecting to locate it myself. The only three options read "Android ADB Interface" each. I uncheck the box for "Show compatible hardware" and two more options appear:
"Android Composite ADB Interface Version: 1.3.1000.0 [12/3/2012]"
and
"Android Composite ADB Interface Version: 1.0.0.0 [8/20/2012]"
I have tried both. ADB devices from the cmd prompt still list zero devices.
If I update the driver to let Windows search for it in the amazon or google locations, it always gets (updated?) changed to just "Android ADB Interface".
This is driving me crazy. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it or any links I can try reading.
Thanks in advance.
Try the drivers in my signature, but as I remember it is supposed to say what you are seeing as the device name. I use Linux most of the time so I don't have any issues but I'm pretty sure that android adb interface is what windows lists it as.

Hey Stunts. Thanks for a response. I tried using your usb drivers from your signature. The updated driver list changed to list the Device as Android Device and the Driver as Android ADB Interface. It used to list the Device as Kindle, and the Driver as Android Composite ADB Interface. I ran ADB with your driver and it still lists nothing under connected devices (in the cmd).
Just to clarify: yes, ADB is enabled on the kindle (under security), and also it allows installation of applications from unknow sources (under Device).
Also, I can use ADB with other Android phones on my same setup. So this, I am assuming, is some sort of driver issue(s)?
Thanks.
Interesting, usually when it shows up as an MTP device and a adb device there's also a composite USB device under USB devices, check for a composite USB device with a vid of 1949 and try uninstalling it if you find it, and then search for new devices and see what happens.

i've tried all suggestions to install the drivers and when i connect my fire to my computer, it shows up as portable device > fire. if i try to update drivers, it says that i am already using the best one, the MTP usb device.
i've followed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63072252&postcount=2
and also tried the drivers from amazon and neither allow me to select the adb driver.
You have turned adb on on the Fire?

What error message from windows are you getting when you select the ADB driver in device manager?
For Windows 10 in case it's an unsigned driver issue.
Post #84 linux VM solution if your absolutely hitting a wall.
i cannot select the adb drivers, when i try to manually select it, by going the the folder and clicking install, windows says i already have the best drivers installed. if i try to right click and install the inf, it says it is invalid for my computer.
i also have a macbook that i can try this on, are there instruction for a mac?
i'll take a look at the vm thing, but i have no idea about vm's.
thanks.

From the images you posted it looks like you should be able to at least poll your device using the windows version of adb, and start rooting. I'll presume you already have adb installed somewhere on your system, "c:\adb", or something like that.
You should be able to poll your Fire device serial number.
Open a command prompt as administrator, goto your adb directory. On the command line type the following.
adb start-server
adb devices
adb kill-server
On your fire device you should see a popup asking you to approve the USB connecting from xxxxxxx hardware id when you try to poll it.
If you get this far you can proceed with the root process for whichever version of Fire OS 5.x.x you have.
i tried that and polling comes up with nothing. after running adb devices, there is no popup on the fire and it lists nothing.

for some reason, on only one out 4 of my win 10 rigs, i had to turn off driver signature enforcement. to do this go to settings, update and security, recovery, advanced startup, restart now. then in the restart menu push, troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, then restart. when booted choose "Disable driver signature enforcement" (which is option 7 on current build). now try to install the drivers. after successful just do a normal restart to enable the signature enforcement again

Can you verify that, "android debug" mode is turned on in the Fire devices developer settings? At least that was the only way I could reproduce the same message output from "adb devices".
I faut with my win 7 laptop for about an hour with one of my fires. Has the yellow icon on unknown device. Ended up "update driver" "browse for file" "let me choose from a list" picked Android/adb composite device. Adb and fast boot now work. I originally had to install Android studio and some extras to get my first fire to link up. Pm if you need help.

I recommend RootJunky tool, does everything and gives you instructions what to dohttp://www.rootjunky.com/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool/ Also recommend watching all his videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVv1D_LNLTg&feature=youtu.be
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.
