Yeah, I had recently rooted my Kindle Fire (1st Gen). I plugged in my Kindle fire and it was recognized as a Portable Device the first time, suggesting the drivers were changed again. I plugged it in again not to long after and the Kindle Fire just charges... it isn't recognized by the computer at all. The computer says that the "Device drivers were not successfully installed" though, probably implying something went wrong I guess... at this point, what can I do? It's not being recognized in any way.
You need to go to the first generation threads and ask your questions these threads are for 2nd generation and hd models.

i have viewed many ways to root the kindle fire hd 7", and tried many processes, but somethings not working right. i have the adb drivers installed (i think, windows 7 tells me it is installed) but i cant see my device when i type adb devices in cmd. i also am not very experienced working in cmd, so i might be doing something wrong there. i have rooted the kindle fire about a year ago, but this one's giving me trouble for some reason. can anyone help me solve this issue?
I've spent the weekend attempting to master the art of rooting my Kindle Fire HD 7". I managed to root the device via KF First Aide. I was also able to install TWRP and custom ROMS. I has some issues and went back to the stock Kindle software. I once again rooted and attempted to install TWRP via KF First Aide. The Kindle went into boot loop. I was able to get the device into Fastboot with a factory cable. Before I could take any further steps to fix the problem the screen went black and will not turn back on. I've tried charging via wall charger, USB and Factory cable and still nothing. Is there a solution out there? I've tried searching for an answer on the forums and I've found similar posts, but no solutions.
I've found information for using the USB boot trick, but they all reference Kindle 1's or 2's. Noting mentioned the Fire HD. Will the same process still work for the HD 7"?
I've also DL'd the KF Unbrick app but I cannot find mention if it works with the KF HD 7".

There are stickies in the Q&A forums for all Kindle Fires, including one in the Original Kindle Fire's General Discussion forum, that explain your situation and remaining options (or lack thereof).
So to clarify what I have just read in the FAQ
Q14: How will I know if I have a bricked 2nd generation Kindle Fire that cannot be restored?
The device will not show any outward signs of life; no display, no sound, and no LED. The device may still get warm when plugged in or turned on and Windows users may see an OMAP4 device in the device manager. Again, short of sending it back to Amazon, there isn't anything that can be done.
My options are none at all unless I send it to Amazon?
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.
Hi,
I'm afraid I bricked my new Kindle Fire HD 7''. Completely. After Rooting I tried to install CM using this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
Everything went smooth (no errors, all commands successful) until "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot". The Kindle shut down after that. And never came back. The screen stays off (no backlight), no USB device is detected by Windows after plugging it in. Tried with factory and standard cable. Executing "fastboot [anthing]" always displays < waiting for device >.
Is there any help for my device? I've almost given up...
It is dead. What version was it, the 2012 or 2013 HD? Because the 2013 HD didn't have a bootloader that was exploitable and had no ROMs for it because of that, so by downgrading the bootloader on that model to the 2012's it would hard brick it. If it was the 2012 model and you had this happen I would guess you didn't verify the md5sum of the bootloader before flashing it. The only hope of fixing it is if someone posts the pin out for the emmc so you could solder the motherboard to sdcard reader and flash it from a PC running Linux. Its been done on the kf2 and hd8.9 so you can always hope someone posts it. Don't bother with looking into trying to flash it with USB shorting trick, it only works on the kf1 because of signed file we would need and don't have. Sorry if this sounds a bit pessimistic, I just thought I'd mention things that don't work and things that could in the future.

Oh sh**. It's the latest model. I somehow missed the information, that CM only runs on the 2012 model. Rooting worked great, by the way...
I haven't even heard any talk about kurohyou checking out a kfhd 2013's board to trace contacts, only some talk of the 2012 7" HD, usually the tracing process is more than likely going to ruin the board unless you are good at re-balling a emmc chip without a ir soldering station(toaster oven fun time). Since its pretty new I would assume amazon would replace it under warranty. Just tell them it won't turn on. Wouldn't mention trying to flash it.

Have you tried to use the Amazon warranty? Just want to know if that would be a possbility to try some risky things with the kindle.

Having spent two days on this I must ask for help please. I'm an Android novice.
Kindle FireHD 7" stuck on animated white and orange Fire HD splash screen.
I have purchased a Fastboot cable and it boots into, and is recognised in, Fastboot.
It's seen in Windows 7 Device Manager as Kindle Fire - ADB Composite device.
All seems OK, but here's the problem:
I can't get it to be recognised by ADB - 'No Device Detected'
The files that I think I need are in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848
however the site hosting the files is defunct and I can't find them anywhere!
I've managed once or twice to get it to 'Kindle is upgrading - Starting Applications' but it just sits there for hours. I'm starting to wonder if it's a hardware fault?
Could anyone provide me with the files in that thread above and a few pointers please?
Many thanks
What version of the kindle do you have?

Kindle Fire HD 7" 2012 (I think) The one with the shiny stripe across the back
If I remember correctly, adb will not recognize your device when you are connected to fastboot. The only commands you can use are the fastboot commands.
