[Q] USB Compatibility for Kindle Fire

Hi,
I bought a Kindle Fire HD 7" last month. I am located in India and Amazon store can't be accessed from here, so I rooted the device this month. Now when I connect the device to my PC(Windows XP SP2), the PC doesn't show the drive in "My Computer" and the device shows a message that "some computers require a free file-transfer utility to copy files between the computer and your Kindle. If you need this utility, please go to kindle.com/downloads". I went there, it asked me to download the Windows Media Player 11. Despite downloading it, the PC doesn't detect the device. The device does connect to the PC because I hear the notification sound. I tried to re-install the drivers too, it didn't help.
Kindly Help!

Don't worry it's simple download and install this driver here ( mediafire.com/?jf6t00es4hy1xo3 )
Factory reset for your kindle then re root it following this post : ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891939 )

I tried this still get the same message. I bricked it and can't get adb enabled on the device I cant access the settings.

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 Not Recognized by ADB in Fastboot

First off I have tried everywhere to look for what could be wrong and then fix the issue that I am having with ADB recognizing my Kindle Fire HD, so I am sorry that I have to create yet another thread with this question/issue.
I, like many others, bricked my Kindle Fire HD 7''. I rebooted my Kindle and it was stuck at the Boot Screen just looping the same animation again and again. So I purchased one of SkOrPn's Factory Cables (shoutout) and it worked perfectly.
I plugged in my Kindle and it entered into Fastboot mode with no hassle. The drivers I previously installed to do the root were still on my computer and recognized my Kindle in my device manager, but for some reason ADB will not see it.
I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them. They are of course the Kindle Fire ADB Drivers file. I have installed the correct Android SDK files and set up the environement, etc and followed a guide to connect my Kindle to ADB
I have done the appropriate edits to the adb_usb.ini file in the "C:\Users\[username]\.android" folder. By that I mean I added the "0x1949" line to the end of the file (both with a lowercase and uppercase 'X')
I have also edited the file 'android_winusb.inf' file by adding the appropriate lines to it then trying to update the driver with the usb_driver folder.
During this whole process I have also rebooted my computer and Kindle Fire HD (by unplugging it and holding down the power button) several times. And have tried to make sure and get the most recent files by doing an 'android update adb' and of course just downloading the most recent Android SDK
I tried to make this detailed so not as to leave out anything... again, I'm really sorry I have to even post about this, but I'm truly at a loss for what to do and I would appreciate any help possible..

+1 I have the same problem

I think I might have found a solution... I was going through some threads and saw the Kindle Fire Utility... Well I got it and even though it says ADB Status: Offline, and adb still doesn't recognize it no matter what I do, I was able to change it to different bootmodes! Though I accidentally put it in Recovery mode and had to figure out how to change it back to Normal/Fastboot.
Anyway, I figured since even though ADB didn't see my Kindle the Kindle Fire Utility did, which was great! Didn't help me fix my Kindle, but I then found the restore tool by onemeila and it too didn't see my Kindle, but I decided to try and Restore my Kindle anyways just to see what would happen. After waiting a while it restored my Kindle! I just unplugged the Factory Cable, held the power down for a few seconds, turned it back on and voila! It was completely restored and back to being rooted and unbricked! Let me know if this works for you...
I'll also post if I can find out if ADB can recognize my device yet because I realized that I did not have USB Debugging enabled...
Note: In the Kindle Fire Utility I enabled Read/Write mode for my Kindle and Set the bootmode to fastboot (it was already in fastboot due to the cable though)
Oh and on The KFHD System.img Restore Tool I chose the second option.. It was the only one that worked in restoring my Kindle and it's still not fully working

[Q] Kindle Fire HD Not Showing Up in WIndows Explorer

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 ?!?!?

[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....

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
