Using Windows Vista. I can't find the files that I put on the sdcard. They were under /sdcard, but there is no sdcard under install on TWRP.

1: you are dumb for using windows.
2: get a linux live distro or some kind of linux.
Can you use adb in twrp?

I'm not talking about using the mount usb storage function, as it doesn't work on devices with a /data/media sdcard. In your command prompt, please type adb devices whilst in twrp. If you need, you can join us on IRC Freenode.net #kf2-dev

Still working on it. There doesn't seem to be a connection with TWRP. It actually said Kindle Fire 2, but with a yellow question mark. ADB devices show nothing when running TWRP.

Is it possible to push files even if adb says there is nothing connected?

I think something worked. I let it go past the recovery screen and it acts like it is connected to windows even though it didn't boot.

Get a factory cable and flash it in

I hear the device connect up on Windows but adb devices doesn't show anything.

Turns out that the sideload feature works rather well in Linux.
Went into TWRP/ Advanced/ Sideload, did an ./adb sideload cm10.1**-otter.zip the the gapps***.zip and it booted right up.

Hello guys!
I just came on this awesome forum and I would like to stay active here
So, I got my Kindle Fire HD 7'' recently and yesterday I tried to root it but I failed ( some problems that said : Permission denied ) and I left it there. Today, I turned it on and the status bar and the sidebar with home etc has been disappeared. I tried a lot of things , but with no success. I have installed file manager but I can't find something that could be useful to restore my Kindle. I just want to get on the menu "Device" and press the button that format in factory settings my Kindle. Can someon help me, please?

Do you have a fastboot cable? Do you have root?

Ok i would suggest buying a fastboot cable (factory cable) you can find one on amazon for like 3$ but first lets see if we can get that thing rooted maybe it will bring it back to where you need it. Follow these directions exactly and should get it rooted.
First things first lets get your sdk and drivers setup correctly.
1. Download the sdk package from here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download
2. Open the file you downloaded and take the sdk folder and the sdk manager file and copy it to you hard drive. C:/sdk** C Being the hard drive letter. Sdk being a new folder you created. Put files in sdk folder
3. Now you need to open up sdk manager and go to tools menu and select manager addon sites. Now select user defined sites tab and select new and enter this site. http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml and click ok.
4. You need to click the following boxes to install the packages you need. TOOLS, ANDROID 4.0.3 (api 15), and EXTRAS. Then click install packages to install them.
5. Now you need to install JDK from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
6. Now you need to install your basic java from here http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
7. Now you need to install kindle fire hd adb drivers from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890413
8. Now shut down your kindle and connect your kindle to your pc and let it boot all the way and unlock the lock screen.
9. Now you need to run this tool https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18.5.1.zip
And select option 1 and on your kindle when the screen pops up asking to restore go ahead and tap on restore.
10. When your kindle restarts the lock screen should turn black and look funny ( if this does not happen then run the tool again untill it does) Now unlock the lock screen.
11. Now you need to run this tool https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/Qmenu-v2.5.zip and select option 1
When it says press enter to proceed make sure you wait till it fully boots and you unlock the lock screen before continuing to next step. Once all steps are completed you should have root.
Open superuser to activate it and enjoy.

Can you help me with restoring my Kindle? C'mon! There will be a way to restore it from File Manager!

Without root or knowing if adb is enabled. There's not much i can do for you. The only other thing you can try is unplug your kindle ,reset your pc, wait till it boots, then plug kindle into pc this will power on your kindle. Then go into device manager and under kindle when you open that branch it should say android composite adb interface. If not you can try to update drive and choose the option that lets you choose what driver to install. Then search in program files/amazon and install drivers from there. But without knowing if this kindle has adb enabled its kinda hard to help you. But if these do install and it does shows up as android composite adb interface. Then try the rooting process again steps 9 - 11. If you cannot get steps 9 - 11 to work your only other choice is to get a fastboot cable ( factory cable ) and use the kindle restore tool from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254KFHD System.img Restore Tool and follow downgrade to 7.2.1 section.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD - No ADB?

i eventually used "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17", and think i have Root (according to SuChecker: "Congratulations!! This Device has Root Access!), but still can't use ADB and KFFirstAide64 to do anything else...keep getting "The System Cannot find the Path Specified"

[Q] sdk found kindle, but bootloader tool could not

Dear all,
I've tried to root my kindle fire hd 7", but failed.
I"ve read the threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
many times. But neither the tool from Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry nor the tool from QEMU Root by sparkym3 could find my device.
I'd also followed the instruction from Amazon to install the driver needed. And the SDK manager could find the device.
the first attachment was by SDK manager. And the second from QEMU Root, it stops because it could not find any devices.
Could someone help me? Many thanks.

You set the paths to the tool folders from the SDK package in case you get issue booting after using that tutorial. There is a link to a great video tutorial in that OP. Can you copy/paste the path you have set in your environment?
Use these drivers here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44446906&postcount=9
Then use Root and Restore v31 to root your tablet. Let me know how it turns out.

It's still not working. I've tried to install the driver, but the system said, that the driver was the newest. Then I uninstalled the driver in the system and installed the driver in the link. The name of kindle in device manager was then changed from "kindle composite adb interface" to "android composite adb interface". And the manufacturer in the driver was changed from "amazon" to "google".
However, the tools can not find the kindle. And sdk manager find kindle anyway.

[Q] Kindle Fire HD Stuck Booting on TWRP Instead of Android

I've tried a bunch of tutorials on here to fix this, but can't figure it out.
I was on my Kindle HD 8.9" running CyanogenMod 10.1, which it has for a year. Suddenly, I got some popup last night. It said there was a nightly build update in my notifications area, so I just clicked "OK" and let it do its thing. It installed for a little bit, all was okay... but now I cannot access my Android OS.
I went to turn my Kindle on after the update, but it keeps going to TWRP. What will happen exactly is it starts... orange letters... then blue letters... then restarts again to orange letters... then blue letters... then TWRP. Why does it keep going to TWRP? How do I fix this?
My Kindle can't even connect to the PC. I just either get "Unknown Device" or "Kindle" in my Device Manager, and mounting from TWRP does nothing.
Then I try installing the Android SDK to get the ADB on my machine, and I added the "Path" in my environment to the two tools folders, but nothing... same thing happens. Constant loop into TWRP. Driving me nuts.
The update it wanted me to install when I could still get into the Android OS was cm-11-20140420-NIGHTLY-jem. I thought maybe trying to connect my Kindle to my PC in order to open the drive, then pasting the cm-11-20140420-NIGHTLY-jem into a folder and installing again from TWRP would solve my problem, but I can't even get that far.
I'm at a loss. Please help.

boot into twrp, check what version of twrp you have. Then you may need to update your twrp to be cm 11 compatible if its not at latest version, current version is like 2.7.0.0(least it is for the 7", havnet check to see if that builds out for 8.9 as well), anyways check the device manager for a device with a yellow triangle next it, if you don't see that and you do have a adb interface showing up but adb doesnt detect it then uninstall the adb device and mtp device and search for devices, if it still doesnt work look for a component device with a vid of 1949 in the properties>details>hardware id's section, if you find it then remove it and scan for device. Windows is a pain in terms of drivers for the kindle in different modes. Once adb is working its as simple as pushing the rom with adb push. You may need to factory reset and/or wipe internal storage so i recommend backing up the data, i would assume the current bootloop has something to do with either no factory reset before going to cm 11 or selinux issues, but that would mean the kernel didnt flash in the ota which would be weird.

Now I'm all screwed up. Before I saw this message, I restored my Kindle back to when it was still running the factory default OS with root, then I shut it down to enter TWRP, and it appeared on its own, but it was installing some sort of update... and when the Kindle's factory default OS appeared, my root was gone. Now I am stuck on the factory default Kindle HD 8.9" on System Version 8.4.8. Man, I should have never accepted that update and just left it as it was. Ugh. Well, for right now, there's an entry in my Device Manager that says "Kindle Fire" and when you click the arrow to bring down the submenu, it says "Android ADB Interface." The Kindle is now working when connected through USB. Now... how do I go about rooting this thing and getting TWRP on it again, because it seems the entire thing got erased. Not having my ROM installed on this thing makes it mostly useless to me.

Root with kffa or binary's root, think the newest version has different choices than the tutorial, use the old normal method. Last I checked it worked.

I can't find anything. Download links are dead for KFFA. You have a link to get it through another source?

They are up and running when I click em. You were on this thread right?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
If that doesn't work you can always use binary's root.

Nah, the link is dead here. Says the file was removed. There are other members in the forum asking as well for a new link.
I managed to get ADB working, and in Device Manager, I have "Android Device -> Android Composite ADB Interface."
I open CMD and type "ADB" and it scrolls a bunch of stuff, but when I type "ADB Devices" I get a list with nothing there. It's just blank.
I tried using BIN4RY Revision 33, using Option #1, but it just keeps bringing me to a "Path not Found" error of some sort.
It looks like all I need to manage to do now is get ADB to list my Kindle device before attempting the ROOT, but how can I do that?
I still wanna give KFFA a try, but no downloads anywhere, and I don't trust random 4Share and the likes, not that it's gonna fix my problem.
I'm close... I just need this damn ADB to list my Kindle device and I think I'll be okay.
Also, I want to say thanks for the help you've given me so far. It's greatly appreciated. :highfive:

No problem, i like helping people fix things.
Try uninstalling the device and letting it search for new hardware. This is more than likely a driver issue.

Try uninstalling the device and letting it search for new hardware. This is more than likely a driver issue.

Oh, believe me. I tried that like 50 times. I think I'm just gonna make a virtual machine of Win7, completely clean install without all my drivers everywhere, and try my luck there.

From the administrator profile on your PC open a command prompt and type Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON then hit enter. Now restart your computer. This will disable Windows driver security enforcement. Then try to install the drivers in the device manager.

Unfortunately, that didn't work. I'm pretty sure one or more of my drivers are interfering with the connection to the Kindle, but this is such an old OS with so many drivers, it's hard to tell.
Right now, I have a Virtual Machine of Windows 7 up. I plugged my Kindle in and I can instantly see it. I can even enter the internal storage! I'm currently installing the Android SDK for the ADB after installing the Java SE x86 version. Once I get ADB on it, I'll see if it lists my device now. Seems promising since the VM sees and allows me to already enter the internal storage, unlike my original Win7 OS.
EDIT #1: Great news! ADB now lists my device! Thing is... Root with Bin4ry Revision 33 does not seem to want to work. This is what I get...

It doesn't give me a chance to do anything. All of that pops up as soon as I press enter. ADB and third party software is enabled on my Kindle. ADB even reads my device as:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

I'm at a loss now. Any ideas?
EDIT #2: Success! The issue was I was using Root with Bin4ry Revision 33. I should have been using Root with Bin4ry Revision 30. That worked, and I am now ROOT. Mission accomplished. Now the next part of my mission... figuring out how to get TWRP on this thing.

Well, trying to install TWRP is going very wrong. I'm using the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175
Everything seemed to work until I get to Step 3. I'll enter the commands but it tells me that there is no such directory or something. Something about there not being any "stack." Can't recall. I wanted to ask on the thread there but the site isn't allowing me to post there.
adb push stack /sdcard/ is where the issue occurs. Everything else worked.
I'm at a loss, and the comments don't seem to help on that thread. Please tell me there is an easier method of getting TWRP on this thing.

That tutorial is for the 8.9. You want the tutorial for the 7". http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218796

He's on a 8.9", he just posted in the wrong section. Use the fireflash method from seokhuns tutorial, just don't forget to check the box with red text near it or you will get a nice redscreen brick. Lemme grab a link
Edit: link grabbed! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277105

I used FireFlash, followed the instruction... now I cannot get passed the first "Kindle Fire" logo when I turn the Kindle on. It just freezes at "Kindle Fire" as soon as I turn it on. I can't seem to do anything at all, and it won't connect via USB. Any ideas?

You missed a check box somewhere. If it is indeed a 8.9" kindle this should be fairly easy to fix. Open the device manager and plug the kindle in while it is off, it should briefly appear as a jem device. While it briefly shows up you need to right click it and hit update drivers and navigate to where you would have downloaded and extracted the drivers in my signature, once you manage to install them you just need to run a "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" with the kindle unplugged and off, and then plug it in once it says waiting for device. It should then go into fastboot mode where you can restore from kffa or SRT.

It's not working... it won't read at all. Device Manager doesn't see the Kindle at all. And yes it is 8.9". I think it may be bricked now. ;'(
And all because of that stupid update... ughhhh. Sucks!

You should try the command from a Ubuntu live CD/USB if is a lot easier to do from there, if it won't work from there then I would be convinced something may be wrong with the bootloader, but I don't see the bootloader as the problem because if anything it would have just been downgraded and I'm more inclined to thinking the bootimg is corrupted. That can cause odd behavior with the bootloader. Are you positive this is the 8.9" model and not the 7" model?

I switched over to my main Windows 7 OS and did what you said. I connected it and it showed for a brief moment in Device Manager, so I quickly loaded the driver and updated. But wen I type the command you gave me, it says <waiting for device>, so I plug it back in and... nothing. At all. Just sits there at <waiting for device>
I'd try Linux, I have several copies of different OS's, but I'm not very good at working with it or using Terminal... I can try that though, but no clue how I'd get ADB or the Kindle to read on it. :\
And yes, 100% it's the 8.9". The resolution is 1200p.

OK the command has to be run while the device is off and disconnected, once it says waiting for device, plug the kindle in and it should work if the drivers are working. Linux is really easy to use with a kindle, it has the fastboot and adb drivers built in natively, only thing you need is the fastboot command from the Ubuntu repos if you are using Ubuntu, believe they were added to the repo in 13.10.
