[Q] Kindle Fire HD Not Showing Up in WIndows Explorer - 7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

just got the Kindle Fire HD 7" the other day and have it rooted...ADB drivers seem to be working fine...but the Kindle doesn't show up in Windows Explorer, so i can't transfer anything to it
i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers countless times, but the Kindle still never shows up in Explorer
really would appreciate some advice

i turned off ADB on the Kindle, and plugged it into another Win7 PC that never had the Kindle connected to it before...Kindle driver got automatically installed, and the Kindle was showing up and was accessible from Win Explorer...what can be missing on the computer that doesn't identify the Kindle in Win Explorer ?!?!?

Rooted, but can't USB mount as drive?!

Hi all,
Managed to get my device rooted thanks to the excellent information on the forum.
But I'm trying to mount my device to my Windows 7 64bit latop from which I did my root from as a USB drive to show in My Computer. I want to transfer some files onto it. But for some reason it is not detecting it as this. I've installed, uninstalled the Kindle Fire HD driver "Kindle Fire ADB Drivers". But still nothing?!
Many thanks for any help

[Q] Kindle Fire HD bricked (nothing works)

Part 1)
I have a Kindle Fire HD 7"....
I have installed the new Stock-Rom 7.4.3 from Amazon...
After that, i have used KFFirstAide to root and install Google-Service and ADW-Launcher....
Everthing was fine....
The only problem was, that there were no wallpapers in ADW-Launcher Mode...
Then i used the stuff from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295750
After running the script i got some error messages in the script....
After that, my Kindle was bricked:
Switch on => 2 Times Kindle fire Logo then red triangle with two options => reboot or reset to factory defaults
I have chosen both, but nothing works
Part 2)
I have ordered a fastboot cable.....
If i plugin the cable (Kindle is off) it starts and i can read FASTBOOT Kindle Fire in the Tab-Display
If i try to revocer via KFFirstAide (Option 4 => Completely Restore the KFHD 7 7.2.3) , it ends up with : < waiting for device >
In Windows 8 64 Bit Device manager i can see the following Device with yellow triangle: Tate-PVT-08
If i try to install the Kinde Driver again it tells me, that they are allready installed....
Part 3)
crying
Can you help me pls ?
Sorry to see that my script bricked a device, would love to know why it did, because the main reason it would usually cause bricks was recently nullified by adding safeties in to prevent that. I suggest not using a PC with windows 8 on it to fix your kindle if possible. You just need to reflash the system partition like your trying to do. Windows 8 usually gives people trouble with drivers when they are unsigned or modified, that's why I suggest you use a PC with windows 7 or xp on it, because your kindle is completely fixable. :thumbup: if you have no other PC's I can always help you get it working again to the best of my abilities.

Reinstall driver(sometimes it helps), close all adb and cmd windows in task manager, and in cmd type adb kill-server, then try KFFirstAide

If i use KFFirstAide do i have to use the normal usb cable or the factory cable ?
i have heard, the factory cable is only to put the Fire into Fastboot mode, after the Fastboot Logo i have to use the normal cable, is this right ?
Not really I used fastboot cable for all fastboot command and when it rebooted into fastboot again I just removed cable and rebooted manually, but for adb commands use regular cable
If a woodchuck chucked wood and Chuck found out, would Chuck get mad at the woodchucks for chucking Chuck's wood?
Windows 7 also no Driver
See the attachments...
If have installed the android sdk
then the Kindle Fire USB Driver from there....
Then plugged in the Kindle with Fast Boot Cable and Normal Cable... but no working driver
Tried with Windows 7 64 Bit....
Can you give me a step by step instructions (noob compatible) incl. download links ?
System: Win 7 64 Bit

well here's the modified google driver i made that should install with it. Just hit update driver on the tate-pvt device and point it to search in the folder that u extract from that zip file, it should do the rest by itself, minus asking are u sure u want to install a unsigned driver or something, just hit install anyway.
Edit: Trying to keep different version of my drivers from floating around on the forum, so use the link in my signature for the most up to date drivers.
Thanks to all
Kindle up again....
I had to install the driver with device manager, then show the device list, chose usb-devices then out of the manufacturer list kindle => kindle adb driver....
Then the Kindle was named Kindle in device manager and KFFirstAide did the rest....
yeehaaa

Nothing work: Rooting and ADB kindle fire hd 7

I have buyed beginning frebruary a kindle fire hd 7 from amazon and rooted it, works very fine.
Now kindle makes update to 7.4.6 and the kindke is unrootet.
I thought, okay it´s must be easy to unrootet at again, but after 24 hours of frustrating, i need your help.
I´m mac user, i have dropbox with windows 32 bit, windiws 64 bit, adb driver doesn´t work here, i used over 10 times ago, no drivers works currently.
On the windows 7 64bit laptop, i have installed and uninstalled the drivers 20x times ago and every time i insert usb cable, the kindle works fine on windows, the device manager shows as kindle also i can use explorer to copy or move files from the intern sd card.
But if i activate ADB modus, the kindle is again under the device manager as kindle.
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33 doesn´t work, bat said every time demon load on port blabla but there is NOTHING after this message, nothing on the bat file or on the kindle, kindle doesn´t open a backup & restore screen.
The windows laptop said it´s PID 0007 (why??).
Every installation of the driver again (from this topic) said propertly not currelty installed, what is wrong?

New Fire 7 and trying to transfer files.

My son just got a kindle fire for his birthday from his cousin, and they loaded a few games on it. One game is thomas and friends game, and i have the .odb files i want to put on the fire but running into a few problems.
I got the USB debugging on the fire to turn on.
I got the android sdks installed.
The fire is seen as a ADB device in device manager.
And ADB can see the fire through the command prompt.
The problem is when i go to open the fire on the my computer, it list nothing in the fire.
Now i dont have root installed or anything, if it requires me to root the fire i can do that but im not sure which version i have.
If i go into device options all it lists is Device Model Fire 7 (7th Generation) first 4 of serial is G0W0
