You'll probably need a factory cable, but that's not going to do anything about your driver problem.

Ok, open up device manager. PLug in Kindle. Does it say ADB Composite Interface or ADB Android Composite INterface? If it says the first then you have ADB installeed wrong and you should uninstall it, reboot computer, and install from KF First Aide(Option 12, I beleieve)

thanks alot and sorry for the late feedback.i was just busy this past few days.regarding the adb it was installed properly as instructed in the thread and it was working before my kindle starts receiving errors.still had the said errors in my kindle and i still dont know what to do with it.i read about some threads here that i can recover it by using the fastboot cable but i dunno how or where to get it.there is no fastboot cable here in the philippines.i searched every store.

I believe it is just a usb cable with pins 1 & 4 shorted

He said he tried both of those and it comes back to that screen. That is just a recovery bootloop. First get your KFFirstAide on your computer. Then read from this page on to fix your problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888&page=140 (Look for posts starte by "Bdeatha" and "AmrBanawan". It starts on this page Post number 1396. You won't need a factory fastboot cable, so when you restore you should say "yes" to it asking you to reboot into fastboot mode.
Good Luck!

NO check your devices manager, see if there is a kindle there in "portable devices" and then check device and printer to seee if kindle is in unspecified devices. You should be able to boot KFHD into fastboot without factory cable. To buy a factory cable if you need it you can Private message this guy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4435645

no the factory cable is a special cable you have to buy our make also called a fast boot cable it tells the kindle to go into a very basic boot up mode so you can communicate with it adb, this making it to where you can restore an old boot image

how can you tell if it is the right cable & where can I get one or do I have to make my own?
I made a thread on here explaining how to make one, but if you can't solder it's of no use to you...
There are a lot of people that claim the eBay ones do not work
So best bet may be ordering one from a guy named sc0rpn on xda

I can personally vouch for Sk0rpn's cables. I would not have been able to do the experimentation required to develop Kinology without one.
I got my "Sk0rpn's cable" today and when I plug it in I do see the fastboot logo, now I am not sure where to begin to fix my Fire?
I am not sure exactly whats wrong with the kindle?

[Q] Bricked Kindle Fire HD 7" and PC cannot recognize device

I ordered a Kindle Fire HD 7" from Amazon few days ago. I rooted it by using Qemu tool then I did something wrong in /system/app. After rebooting, I cannot turn on my Kindle and its stuck on the kindle fire screen (Kindle Fire logo appears for a minute then it disappears).
I used a factory cable and put the kindle to fastboot successfully, but the problem is PC doesn't recognize it (windows said "unknown device"). I tried many methods in xda forum but they didn't work anyway. I reinstalled many time and tried in win 32, win 64 bit and even in linux but it still doesn't work.
Are there any solution for me? please help!
I was wondering if Amazon could replace it under warranty ? is it possible?
I thought I read you only use fast boot cable to get into fast boot, then normal cable to do the rest. See if that helps if not u can always try forcing the driver but idk if that's the best idea since it is saying unknown device instead of driver not found for kindle adb device or something like that.

I used fastboot cable to get into fastboot mode and then change to normal cable at you said, but the same situation -- Unknown device and device not found. Please see attached figure.
I also tried to forcing the driver many times and it still doesn't work at I said before.
I am going to say this now, windows 8 doesn't always work to well with us doing things to droid devices, or at least kindles, mainly because of drivers. Don't know if that's the case here because that device I don't think i have the right info, post the info on the details tab when u choose hardware id's from the drop down menu.
Also adb commands don't work in fast boot mode, a command u would want to try is fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
It should return something about Tate.

Thank you for you helps. I tried fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product on Win 7 PC and it didn't work also. It ended with <waiting for device>. Do you have any other idea to solve the problem?. Please help me . I feel stuck right now.
Ps: I read somewhere that it may work if the battery battery drain out, so i am waiting to try this method.

One more thing, the error code show up in device manager is code 43
I've just borrowed an unrooted KF HD 7 from my friend and tried to connect to PC with normal and factory cable. It worked perfectly with no problem in both cables. So I think there is nothing wrong with the driver on PC.
Is my KF hard bricked and no way to restore it anymore
I don't know if its hard bricked, I still need the screen shot or just the text will do of what's in the device manager on that unknown device's details tab under the hardware id's choice on the drop down menu. If I recognize the vid in the details then I may be able to help.

I installed Xposed Installer and rebooted and now:
Now my pc
Is not recognizing with adb
In device manager it shows that it is a portable device.
Take a look at the photo.
I do not have a factor cable either
I have chameleon rom
I can get to the lockscreen but no further than that
If you have a ROM installed then it should be a easy fix, reboot into recovery and remove the exposed framework from an adb shell, if an adb device is not present in the device manager while in recovery but a portable device is, uninstall it and let it search for new devices and it should pick it up.

I think you missed the part when I said ADB doesn't recognize the device is plugged in. So how would I get it into Recovery? I do do not have a factory cable.
Take a look at this
https://db.tt/Hg46tGg0
Recovery = turn device off, turn on, hold down volume up as soon as you see orange kf logo, keep holding it even once it turns blue, should eventually say twrp, let go of button. Hope that helps.

I attempted to use TWRP to reset the device and once it rebooted, the orange KINDLE FIRE HD screen will appear for a second, then the screen goes black, the the image appears again and then then screen goes black without end. Hard reset doesn't work. I tried pushing adb commands through but i get "waiting on device" and nothing else. Device manager doesn't recognize device either, it doesn't even appear on the device manager when I plug it in. Any ideas? I know I'm out. Based on other threads, I don't think that the factory cable will work either, although I don't currently have one even if it would. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Bricked Kindle Fire HD (blinking logo)

Hello everyone. Here's my story.
I got my Kindle, worked with it for a while, then successfully rooted it (my PC running on Windows XP stopped seeing it, but meh, that wasn't a problem at all). Then I wanted to try something new so I installed TWRP and used Cyanogen Mod and Paranoid Android (didn't really like the second one) so I decided to switch to Kinology.
I went to recovery mode, and then swiped whole system. >_< Like everything. And then I panicked and started making mistakes.
I didn't use adb sideload (silly me) but instructions from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254. And one more mistake - I didn't downgrade.
So I got my Kindle in a pretty odd state - when switched on it showed me orange "Kindle Fire" logo which was blinking forever.
And my PC wouldn't recognise it anymore. It wouldn't see any Kindle device but something unknown. And it wouldn't see drivers I tried to re-install over and over again.
So I made another mistake - sent my Kindle back to the shop where I ordered it (not Amazon, an online shop here). They weren't able to do anything so I'm getting my bricked device back (soon, I hope).
So, here's what was the state of my device before I sent it back:
1) blinking orange "Kindle Fire" logo when switched on;
2) when plugged in PC with fastboot cable showing "Fastboot" logo on screen;
3) PC wouldn't recognise this device anyhow.
I'm a slowpoke, I know, I should have asked long ago, but late is still better than never.
I don't have my Kindle yet so I can't work on it for a while. But I will appreciate your advices.
Most terrifying question now is can it possibly be working again (techs from that shop said they could do nothing and it's so terribly bricked...)? Any OS would do just fine, really.
Thank you in advance.

In the same position.
I had successfully rooted my Kindle Fire HD 7" via this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351201
I was then going to install a mod via this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
Was in one of the twrp screens when I was called away from the house. My wife let my neighbor and her pestilential 6 year old son into the house. Apparently, this little budding genius found my kindle and just randomly hit everything. How I didn't wind up in custody is beyond me.
When I got back to the house, I picked up a Kindle that would just cycle into twrp (orange logo/blue logo a few times and then twrp - nothing else). Windows no longer recognized the device. I got a Fastboot cable and used the KFHD Recovery Tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 which reported itself
I first started with option 4 - Erase cache and user data. I got "OKAY" messages on both steps. Followed by "GONE - Hope you made a backup!"
Then I went on to option 2 - Restore Factory Rooted with Super SU.apk, Apex Launcher and Play Store
Got message "Sending System 907264 kb"
OKAY *some number of seconds that the procedure took and WELCOME BACK!
I swapped the cable from the Factory cable to the normal Kindle Fire usb cable and selected option 6 Reboot normally.
Now I'm stuck in a normal straight orange Kindle Fire boot loop. Any ideas how to fix this? I've been up and down the forums and being a newb and, relatively speaking, an idiot - I've failed to find my way forward.
Try using kindle fire first aid this time around, I have a feeling it will work. Still need to use fastboot cable to get into fastboot but other than that it also has a restore stock system images feature.

Thanks for the help Stunts! I try using KFFirstAide and it gets to *Daemon started successfully* and then nothing. Any operation where KFFirstAide accesses the Kindle - it just goes to a blinking cursor. Nothing ever pops up on the Kindle itself - it just stays on the Fastboot screen.
I've tried both the repair function for the KF HD 7" and going in through diagnostics to attempt to repair.
If I use the factory cable, it goes straight to Fastboot. If I use a normal cable, I cannot enable any ADB functions as the device just continues to loop the orange Kindle Fire boot screen. I am unable when connected via the factory cable to regularly
The system can not find the file specified. The kindle is not responding to simple fastboot commands.
Product: Tate-PVT-08
Below that it says if you see output above this note then fastboot is enabled and you can safely proceed with a restore.
So, I reinstalled these drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072359&nocache=1 - as it looks like drivers are the problem. Both before and after installation, on my device manager instead of Kindle Fire, it reads Samsung Phone and below that Android ADB Interface with a yellow triangle and comment "Device can not start" (Code 10).
So, if this Kindle were a murder scene, I'm guessing there'd be a big pool of blood somewhere around this driver issue (assuming I'm not about to be clunked on the head by some other issue and my dead body heaved into a closet to spill out onto my wife later).
I see Kindle Fire Utility has a fix for this, but some of the KFU posts have said it's for 1st gen only, so I'm a little far down the rabbit hole. Will keep reading and see if I can make some sense of this.
Sorry to be so dense, I feel like a Friday the 13th victim who refuses to die and just runs around the forest screaming with a rake jammed through my shoulder. I do realize it's poor form
Update: resolved the driver error via this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306561&page=2
Now back into the KFFirstAide and let's see what happens. Results of KF First Aide are the same (although the driver on the device manager is back to reading Kindle Fire and ADB interface which is working properly)
GODS BE PRAISED!!!! Got back in via the KF HD SRT. Rolling along now. Thanks again Stunts. Really appreciate your time.
(Hilarious end note - along came an OTA update and wiped all my good work. Back to square one *Shakes fist at God*)

Hello.
It's been a while but I got my Kindle and ready to work with it.
I'll try first aid after I charge it.
Just want to clarify few steps.
I have a "clear" recently re-installed Windows 7. What I did was installing drivers from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072359&nocache=1 then steps 1-9 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888.
Do I heed QemuRoot? Or it was wrong to do these steps before ever trying to find any adb devices?
My kindle doesn't show in the list of devices, it still blinks with orange "Kindle Fire" when connected to PC via data cable and shows "Fastboot" logo when connected via fastboot cable.
What should I do now?
How do I delete my post?
I mean this one, #10.
Wait so is your device showing up in the device manager with an error?

No, my device isn't showing up in the device manager at all.
And it is in fastboot? It should show up as a Tate device. Though if it is showing up but without errors but fastboot doesn't detect it I would reinstall the drivers, because I have a similar problem on windows 7. Once its in fastboot use the normal USB cable.

Um OK try expanding the USB devices section in the device manager and posting a screenshot, because I'm at a loss, unless you for some reason are plugged into a USB 3.0 port, but even then I thought it would at least show up. If you don't know how to take a screenshot offhand, just hit the print screen button on your keyboard, above or near the del, pg up and such keys, then open paint and hit paste, and save it.

That's how it looks like.
I'm not sure I have any USB 3.0 ports. I tried to plug into 5 different ports - result was the same.
OK do me a favor, that one that says USB composite device, open its properties and goto details, and choose hardware id's from the drop down list and either screenshot it or just write em down for me.

There are two IDs.
USB\VID_0E8F&PID_0022&REV_0210
USB\VID_0E8F&PID_0022
Ah I was completely off, see I recently noticed the kindle installed as a composite device when I was in windows the other day, long story short I thought u might just need to reinstall then drivers, but that is not a kindle vendor Id that I can tell, sounds more likely to be USB speakers or something upon searching Google and getting random drivers that. Try plugging this into another computer, if it still doesn't show up it could be a hardware problem, might be as simple as resoldering some joints idk.
Edit: on another note, before trying to check for a bad connection on the kindles USB plug, try booting linux and seeing if it picks it up, usually an Ubuntu live CD will do the trick, hopefully its not a hardware problem.

My netbook runs on Ubuntu 12.04 and doesn't see Kindle as well.

Soft bricked Kindle. PC won't detect. Help?

I went through the rooting/rom'ing process from another thread and skipped a step so I soft bricked the device. The Kindle will only boot to the blue KindleFire logo before stopping when powered on normally. I purchased a factory cable to get this corrected, and the kindle does go into fast boot mode, but the PC will not recognize the device. It shows up as an unknown device in Device Manager (Win 7)
* I've removed all kindle drives, rebooted computer and installed them again. No change
* I've used USB deview to remove everything and have the drivers install again
* I've tried to manually point the driver installation to a folder containing the correct drivers. Nothing. This PC as well as another Win 7 laptop I own simply refuse to detect the device.
Any other ideas?
As soon as you power it on(before the logo turns blue) keep holding volume up until it goes into recovery. It should be able to since it goes blue, also if you have issues with drivers try the knew in my signature, though if its saying unknown device instead of tate, jem or otter or something like that then that's not always a very food sign.

Edit - I see you stated you're using a fastboot cord.

I've gone through the first link. There are no hidden devices in device manager for amazon. I went ahead and removed all unknown devices, tried various usb drivers through the forums and the Kindle is still not detected.
I have attempted to use the KFFirst Aid utility in the past. It gets stuck at waiting for device since neither the computer or adb detect the Kindle.
The second link you provided links to an original Kindle thread. Is this going to be a problem?

I have tried the volume button trick but the Kindle still boots up the same way. I tried your USB drivers but i continue to get an Unknown Device in Device Manager.
Did you switch from the fastboot cable to the regular one once it was in fastboot mode?

The links are to give you reference about getting your drivers recognized. The first link has some great info.

No, I had not tried that. I just did it and it made no difference. The device still doesnt show up under Device Manager and give the unrecognized device message during driver install.

Thanks for the links. I've gone through each one twice and i'm still in the same boat. The Kindle continue to shows as an unrecognized device.

I had similar problem with this and it was, surprisingly, the drivers, you'll need to install them after you connect the device in fastboot again. I thought that if the drivers are working fine when connecting with normal USB, they will work for fastboot too, but I was wrong.

No dice. Uninstalled previous drivers. Rebooted computer. Connected Kindle until it got to the fastboot logo then installed drivers. It didnt take. Shut off the Kindle and reconnected. Still showing as an unrecognized device.
