I searched the forums and maybe I'm being a dolt but here's my situation
I flashed TWRP v2.6.1.0 and I wiped the cache/system and did the factory wipe before I copied the custom rom to the kindle
I can boot into TWRP fine but my computer won't recognize the device.
I have uninstalled the drivers to let windows automatically find them, but it doesn't. I tried ot manually install the adb drivers but windows doesn't recognize them for my device.
I tried to start ADB sideload on the kindle through TWRP but it just hangs, I have no idea what to do, any help would be appreciated!
Try the drivers in my signature.

Hey the drivers worked, the device is now recognized as Android ADB Interface, but I'm kind of lost as to what I should do next?

The title might be misguiding but it is what happends. I just got a 7" Kindle Fire HD updated to version 7.2.3. I tried rooting using the methods mentioned on the forum but run into a little yet big problem. When I run the BinaryV17 nothing happeneds the same when I run QemuRoot and try to connect using ADB from Fastboot. In device manager the Kindle appears as ADB device. Can anyone help me? If anyother information is needed just ask! Thanks!!!
First, sorry for my English, I'm Spanish. The problem I have is that my kindle is bricked I used factory cable and put into fastboot mode then connect to pc but does not recognize the device. Get a message saying'''' Unknown Device. I have installed drivers 10 times and nothing .. Any solutions?
Thank You!!
Try updating the drivers with the ones in my signature and see what happens.

You can explain me how to install your drivers please?
OK if I understand this correctly, I'm assuming if you open the device manager , there is a device called something like "tate-pvt" probably with an triangle next to it. Right click it and hit update driver, tell it to search the folder you extracted my driver to, it should install them from there. On another note, after you use the fastboot cable to put your device into fastboot, make sure you switch back to using a normal cable once the kindle says "fastboot" on the screen.

I've done everything you've told me and nothing. When I install the driver from the device manager tells me the driver is updated and if I put normal cable after entering fastboot mode.
So what exactly is it doing now, or what is saying unknown device, you should be able to see if its working by running the fastboot command like this ”fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", it should report something back, if it does your ready to fix your kindle, otherwise if it hangs on waiting for device, something weird might be going on that needs more looking into.

I'm finding it somewhat impossible to install a custom ROM on this currently useless device.
It is a Kindle Fire HD 7" (not the new HDX)

- Already tried it and the tablet goes into a bootloop once I restart, have to use factory cable to restore, apparently it doesn't work if your 7.30 or above
- Kindle Fire First Aid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096888
I tried this to downgrade it to 7.2.1 but once completed the tablet said it cant boot and has to do a restore, then it goes back to 7.30. There is a 7.2.3 option too but I never tried it.
I don't know what to do all I want is to get rid of this stupid crap rom but if I can't I'll just have to use a launcher... any ideas?
The first method works... You just have to put the ROM and corresponding gapps onto your sdcard before hand or it will be stuck boot looping into twrp. If it doesn't automatically go into twrp but you still have the blue logo, just hold power up when you power the kindle on while the logo is orange and usually by the time it turns blue you can let go and it will go into twrp.

The first method doesn't work man. The blue logo never comes up just boot loops the kindle fire logo. I download FireFlash and move the freedom img and twrp onto my kindle sd and plug it right into fireflash and reboot, then it just boot loops.
Alright I found out and installed CM10.2 but my computer does not recognize it anymore, it says MTP USB DEVICE but does not appear in My Computer.

Yea, the method works as you can see. Try removing the old driver and let windows find the new one.

Yeah the old driver was Kindle. So I uninstalled it and now it comes up as MTP USB DEVICE after I select Media Device from USB computer connections on the tablet. Still not recognized in my computer... sigh. I want it to appear as a Mass storage device so I can transfer files. On Linux I get Unable to open MTP device '[usb:001,001]' when trying to open it.d
Now when I boot into TWRP, device manager shows Kindle Fire -> Android Composite ADB Interface but still doesnt appear in My Computer.
Android composite isn't meant for browsing, its meant for using adb commands. If you uninstalled the MTP device on windows and let it search for a new driver when u refresh devices, it should be viewable, also what distro and version of Linux are you on, because some handle mtp better than others.

Update your drivers in device manager to these ones here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44446906&postcount=9
Now follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44446906&postcount=9 Use the adb drivers provided right below the tutorial.
You're not bricked at all, you just have no OS. Sideload one and you'll be fine. Make sure to update to TWRP 2.6.1.3 as well.

Hi
I went through this guide and did everything successfully
Kindle Fire 2nd-bootloader + TWRP 2.6.3.1 for the Kindle Fire HD 7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848&page=52
When i got back onto the kindle and enabled adb in the dev section i plugged the usb cable back into my pc. However it's not showing up as a drive on my computer and when i try adb devices on CMD prompt it's not picking anything up.
Under my device manager i do see Kindle Fire and in that sub menu is Android Composite ADB Interface so i know that my pc can see something.
It's just puzzling why i cant access the sd card like i used to on my computer or use adb commands.
Anyone seen this before? Any help?

It sounds like you need to reinstall the drivers for your Kindle. Which version of Windows do you have? It's really easy to install the drivers, but you need to take a couple extra steps if you have Windows 8/8.1.

Yeah that fixed it. Any reason why updating would break it or is it just one of those android things.
