[Q] How to setup ADB driver for Windows 8?

Has anyone been able to set up ADB drivers for Kindle Fire HD 7 for windows 8?
Kindle was rooted but when i switched to windows 8 i got some random 7.2.1 user update that i thought i had already gotten and now root is gone and i cant seem to get ADB driver to install, any ideas?

I installed the same way as I did on my Windows 7 box. Just follow the instructions posted here: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html

I am also trying to get the adb drivers installed, i used the guide you said to use and still it wont allow me to install the driver, just says the driver installation did not complete... =\ 64 bit windows 8 pro

Try this if you have not already.
1. Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer's USB port using the USB cable.
2. From the Start menu, right-click Computer and select Manage.
3. In the left pane, under Computer Management, expand System Tools, and click Device Manager.
4. In the right pane, locate and expand Other devices.
5. Right-click the device name Kindle and click Properties.
6. In the Kindle Properties window, on the Driver tab, click Uninstall, then Confirm, and then unplug your device from your computer.
7. Then run the kindle fire adb drivers again.
8. Then plug in your kindle.
9. To confirm the device has been installed, from Start, click Control Panel, and then select Device Manager. In Device Manager, under Kindle Fire, the device will be included as Android Composite ADB Interface.

I did the above...it looks like its going to install but then i get the message 'install failed' during the setup....

I got Win 8 64bit. Delete the "signed_" part of "signed_kindlefirewinusba64/x86" files you'll be able to install it manually from the device manager.
However I still wasn't able to root my KF2 but that seems to be a different issue since the device is recognized as adb device in the device manager.

I've already got 2 versions of those files in the install directory 2 with the 'signed_' and 2 without?

Signed Drivers
Hey I installed the drivers through this:
1.Use the windowskey +I keyboard shortcut to bring the Chrams and click Change PC settings.
2.Navigate to General and under Advanced Startup, click Restart Now.
3.Now Windows 8 will restart in the advanced menu options, click on Troubleshoot.
4.Click on Advanced options.
5.Next, click the Startup Settings option from the menu.
6.The Startup Settings. From this page simply click Restart.
7.Now Windows 8 will reboot, but instead of going to the Desktop it will start in the Startup Settings page, from here hit F7 or the number 7. Then Windows will boot in a mode that will allow you to install unsigned device drivers in the operating system.
After this just install the drivers and your Kindle will connect with ADB
Hope that helps

okey. So, after dancing with ... :cyclops: i was able to get root in my kindlefirehd. Unconfortable was that all this magic i did from my Windows 7 I wasnt able to do it from my gentoo. Dunno still why.
So, about rooting process in windows -> First problem was that adb.exe from both methods (in archve archive) didnt see my Kindle device, despite of fact that kindle storage presented in My computer. Every time i run adb.exe its told me that please insert device or device not visible for ADB.
Then, adb.exe devices returned me only empty output lines.
This problem was fixed by download Andloir SDK tools and copy ADB.EXE from platform-tools to the both unzipped directories from these rooting methods.
After completed first method my kindle was very slow. Second methond with Qemu solved it somehow
So, now i can edit some files via simple built-in texteditor. Also, TitanimBackup now installed on my device.
Also, there is a one note about linux. Especial for gentoo distribution with hardened kernel. Something (dont know still what exactly, maybe PaX configuration) causing that adb returns error :
PHP:
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
If you run
PHP:
adb nodaemon server
it will show you exactly the reson what is wrong. In my case it was:
PHP:
error: Operation not permitted: cannot create input thread
.
Solving with command paxctl -m /path/to/file/adb
Hope somebody will found my note useful.

I have tried all methods. Just factory reset and tried method 1,2 and 3 again. Method 2 give this message Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE] after the daemon loads. I am downloading the Android SDk to try and get the latest adb program. Maybe that will work. Any HELP!!:fingers-crossed:

First things first lets get your sdk and drivers setup correctly.

Windows 8 ADB Fix!

Hello all, you might've seen my thread down below, about having painstaking errors with getting ADB to work with my Windows 8.
PLEASE READ!!!
First and foremost, IF you have plugged in your Fire HD into your Win8 pc already, please go to device management, and see what it recognizes the Kindle as. If it recognizes as "Android ADB", please right click on it, and remove the drivers (With the Kindle unplugged). It MUST be recognized as a "portable media player" or something along those lines. If it's recognized as the "Android ADB", then it will have driver conflicts with my steps below, and nothing will happen. Took me 4 hours to figure out the issue.
IF you haven't plugged in the Kindle before, then PLEASE install the ADB and Android SDK first. Then once you plug the Kindle in, it should be recognized as "Android Composite ADB". IF not, it prolly will set at "Daemon started".
First of all, you gotta do the below method, to remove the darn security, since the ADB is unsigned drivers.
Click on Command Prompt (Admin)
At the blinking cursor type: bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Then once done, reboot, you should see "Test Mode" watermark on the lower-left side of the screen. Install Android SDK, all you gotta install is the Google USB Driver, and then install the Amazon ADB drivers NOT Google, or any other drivers. Download those here. Once downloaded, right-click, and "run as admin". They should install without ANY error.
Once done, reboot, and go into your Fire HD, in Settings>Security>Enable ADB, and then root with your program of choice. I used "Root with restore by Bin4ry", it worked PERFECT for my latest version Fire HD 7". Make sure to click "restore" on the Fire HD, when it pops up, then it'll reboot, and be done in approx 2 mins.
Now go back into Command Prompt (Admin), and enter the below data to re-enable the security for unsigned drivers.
Once at CMD, enter bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
Now reboot, and your PC should be back like normal, with the exception of a rooted Kindle. :laugh:
Basically I found out that Windows 8 likes to install it's own version of ADB, which messes things up terribly. Because my ADB drivers from Amazon wouldn't do crap, and once I deleted the drivers that Win8 installed, then it worked PERFECT with the Amazon ADB drivers.
Please "thank me" if I've helped. If you need further help, please ask. Sorry I'm no programmer, only a PC addict.

A few things:
1: Nice guide
2: Forgot something
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
and to disable
bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
3: Search the forums for other guides first

[Quick Tutorial] Getting into Fastboot

In this guide I'm going to assume you know how to get SDK working. Here's the video if you don't: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNM-lt_aHw
This is in reference to Hascode's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175]
for steps 4.5 AND BEYOND or if you just want to enter Fastboot for yourself.
1. Download this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/KFFirstAide64.zip (64 bit) OR https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/KFFirstAide32.zip (32 bit)
Latest version of Java: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
Source: prokennexusa
2. Extract it to your C Drive (or primary), keep the folder name the same KFFirst AIDE (Do not change it)
3. Make a Path to that folder, as shown in the video. Instead you will put ;C:\KFFirstAide
4. Download Hashcode's files and place them in that FirstAide Folder.
5. Before going further, uninstall any previous drivers for the Kindle in Control Panel and Device Manager.
6. Install ADB Drivers found within KFFirstAide -> KindleADB
7. Open up RunMe.bat and run option 11 to verify ADB is working.
8. Now run option 15 to boot into Fastboot, it may take a min.
9. Once in Fastboot, open Device Manager and update the driver, browse to C: -> Program Files -> Amazon -> Drivers -> WinUSB
10. Open CMD and type in cd C:\KFFirstAide
11. Now type in Hashcode's Fastboot lines and it should run (you can verify this because the files pushed will also show up on your Kindle)
NOTE: It's important that you do not have any ADB or Kindle drivers installed prior to installing the one in the FirstAide folder (Check Device Manager)
If you have questions, post a comment down below and I will try to answer them.

Fixed Links. Working Now.

I need some help! I was using KFFristaide64 with my 8.9 KFHD. I was trying to flash to the 8.1.2, option 5, and it flashed the boot, recovery and system, them hung at deleting user data for about 2 hours. When it finally rebooted the kindle screen never comes on, and windows emits the beeps it uses to notify a usb device attachment and removal back to back to back, and the kindle never shows up in windows or ADB. I have tried to get into fastboot with option 15 and 16 using a standard and factory USB cable, but no combination will bring up fast boot, just get the cycling connection/disconnect sounds from windows. Does anyone know if there is a way to recover from this? I have a full back up (all 11 partitions) that I created just before starting. My device was rooted before I began, but I have no clue where in the process it would be now. Can anyone help, or should I just start looking for a new 8.9 KFHD?

Whenever I try to run step 6 of this, the installer tells me that it's failed and that I need to install the drivers manually. Doing that doesn't change anything, I still get the Kindle in the device manager with the exclamation point telling me that drivers have not been installed. I've removed everything from device manager/control panel before I run it.

Device not detected in adb or fastboot

Hi, my device (tate) cannot connect to any of my computers in adb or fastboot modes, rendering me unable to transfer any files onto my device. However, I am able to perfectly boot into TWRP recovery. The ROM I previously flashed didn't work, and I had already factory reset the device without making a backup. How can I now transfer a working ROM given my problems in adb?
OS: Windows 8 x64 (failed to install the KFHD adb drivers)
Upon command 'adb devices' or 'adb usb': 'no device found'
Upon command 'fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product': nothing happens

You need to install the drivers while in twrp/fastboot. I would recommend just using adb to push the ROM onto the sdcard from twrp. You will need to fix your drivers first though, to do that you need to disable windows driver signature enforcement, look it up on Google. Then download the drivers in my signature and update the drivers for the device with a triangle in the device manager and point then to where you extracted the drivers. Then try adb again while in twrp.

Disable device driver signature enforcement.
Both must be done from the administrator profile to work right.
Both of these are for Windows 7 X64 users.
Windows 7 X32 and earlier version users do not have this issue.
A.
1. Reboot and on start up press F8 a couple times.
2. Scroll down to "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement."
Note: This must be done on every bootup you want to install something not MS signed.
B. For a more permanent solution.
1. First go and uninstall the driver (delete driver) you want to replace and then restart your computer.
2. Now go to the start menu and type cmd.
3. Right click on "cmd" and open a command prompt with elevated privileges (run as administrator.)
4. Now copy these in the command prompt one at a time hitting enter after each one.
bcdedit /set testsigning on
bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
4. Now install the driver you want.
5. Restart the computer.
6. Profit.
Note: If you do this right, you will see "Test Mode Windows 7 Build 7601" (or something comparable) in the lower right corner of your screen. This means that drivers not signed by MS can be installed without getting the Windows has installed the best driver already bit.
If you opt to take your computer out of test mode, the drivers will more than likely be replaced by MS drivers next time. Following steps 1, 2 and 3 in part B of tutorial enter these commands
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Since I don't have Windows 8 to do a personal tutorial, I'll just link to a good tutorial for that http://www.fotoclubinc.com/blog/how...on-of-windows-7-printer-drivers-on-windows-8/

You need to push a ROM onto TWRP using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459498 Also disable drivers via my post above this post. Lastly, make sure to use Hashcodes crackflasher mirro as TWRP is still messed up making goo.img zip file downloads a mere shell that fail to flash. Make sure to have the most up to date TWRP as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

Thanks stunts and Linearequation! Disabling driver signature enforcement was the crucial step. Adb now works perfectly in recovery!
