Try the drivers in my signature, if it still persists I would worry because typically I remember the equivalent to this message back when I was running xp, and I usually only got that if there was a short somewhere in the USB connection.

Remove the old drivers first and then install the new drivers. More details about what you did, where you are at and where you want to be would help.

Does the driver install but the device not want to be active? Or does it not find a compatible driver?

What made you want to switch from a factory cable to a regular USB? Hold the power button down for 30 seconds until it powers down. Now use a fastboot cord only and plug into tablet and computer. When you type fastboot into cmd, what does it say? Have you tried running Kindle Fire FirstAide yet?

it says waiting for device
plus i read somewhere to unbrick u use the FACTORY cable to go into fastboot mode only than you switch to REGULAR cable after.

You need to read some more then. There is a reason steps are listed. Your ADB drivers must be set up proper. Try to run KFFA with the fastboot cord attached in fastboot.

Can you screenshot the device manager with the error and maybe the page with the hardware id's on the details tab. To screenshot, hit the print screen button on your keyboard, open paint and hit paste and save the file.

here is what you have requested.
also if i may add when i boot up it comes to a red screen and i cannot do anything after that. it stays on that screen

Ah that is very bad, I have seen a few cases of this happening on the forum, for all I know it could be something shorted out on the motherboard or a loose solder joint on one of the data terminals for the micro USB plug on the kindle. This is how it shows up with a normal cable right? Not the fastboot cable? Because I could understand it doing this with the fastboot cable possibly, but not the normal one.

Once you bootloop or in your case , get a red screen, your device won't be readable. The USB won't recognize your drivers. Set ADB drivers up right and use a factory cord (not USB cord) run KFFA or you can try this link too. Can't post the link.nXDA app strikes again.
Search KFHS system.IMG tool. Try that.

[Q] Upgrading KFHD 2012 from 7.2.1

Hi there fellow xda developers.
I have a kindle fire HD 2012 on os version 7.2.1. I would like to update this to a later version in order to install a 2nd bootloader. I have tried using SRT 1.3.5 to update it but it ends up bricking the kindle so i had to use SRT 1.2 to get it back to stock. I can't update it using OTA as the kindle itself is disabled and is no longer recognized by amazon, it wont even let me sign in.
Is there any way of updating it.
Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming you have a factory/fastboot cable, download Kindle Fire First Aide and select the option that says Kindle Fire HD 7 and find the option that says completely restore Kindle to 7.2.3

You can't just flashed things on a tablet. The bootloader is locked and no second bootloader mod is available. Second is TWRP images have to be slightly modified to use on any Kindle in the first place.

I understand that the boot loader is locked, but what holds up a custom, or edited boot loader? I'm experienced in using these software's, but not in their development.

If your asking what I think your asking it's an exploit, the cpu on the kindle is a high security model that checks for a signature on the boot loader, if it isn't signed the kindle won't turn on. We found a way to exploit something amazon missed a while back for the other's and that allowed us to use 2nd boot loader, unfortunately for the newer kindles they were released after that had been patched so we don't have an older version of the boot loader that's compatible with your device that can be exploited. *sarcastically high fives amazon*

Can you explain what the exploit was? I recall flashing the custom boot loader at line 1049 (or something to that affect) in the memory, but what was it that made that possible?
Edit* looking back at the kftt process, I see a stack override was used. I understand that the file was pushed to the sd card, but what did it actually do?

Google Play Store for the 11.1.x.x 2013 Kindle fire HD is for window shopping only. Any attempts to download will freeze the tablet. At this point, the answer to your question is no. You can sideload about any app and make it work though. FDroid and 1mobile are great sites to get the latest apks.

For the Kindle Fire HD 7 a 2nd bootloader had to be flashed. It had to be flashed before 7.3.0 because the next firmware release patched the bootloader. This is why a 7.2.3 bootloader image had to be flashed as well (to make the exploit possible.) Since no exploit exists, at the moment, there is no way to even flash any unsigned files.
Edit* looking back at the kftt process, I see a stack override was used. I understand that the file was pushed to the sd card, but what did it actually do?

The stack override file makes it so you can install unsigned recovery and boot images.

So what about mimicking the file signature?
Sent from my KFSOWI using xda app-developers app

That would be very difficult to do, and also very expensive considering how many hard bricks it would probably make. I mean I suppose if someone with the know how analyzed several bootloaders for all the devices that have signed boot loaders that are omap based we might be able to get a better idea of what the signature is that is added to the file to replicate, but no one seems to have done that, probably because its immensely difficult I would imagine. I kinda compare it to making a keygen for a program that spits out a random code and asks for the code that goes with it. Though I'm assuming way more difficult.

KFHD 7" can't swipe down for menu

My Kindle Fire HD 7" is not in a good way. I will power up and allow me access to the app screen, but that is about it. Any time I try to launch an app it goes to a black screen and I have to cycle power in order to get it back. I am not able to swipe down at all to get the menu to appear, so I have no access to settings at all. I have been bumping around on this forum and based on the fact that I can't turn on the ADB, I bought a factory cable to help me access my KFHD. Now what?? I would like to do a full system restore on it to see if that will help with the issue that I have, but the thread on this forum that discusses that has dead links.
I am very new to this (so call me a n00b), but I want to try to fight through this myself. any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're in a bootloop. Power the tablet down. Go buy/make yourself a fastboot cord. Now use the system restore tool, choose option 3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
Edit: Jelly Bam is way outdated, if memory serves me. I don't think it's been in development for some time now.

i recommend the blackhat adapter mentioned in hashcodes 2nd bootloader+twrp tutorial. And from what i know i don't think fastboot cables are useful with an s4, i don't know much about other devices, but don't the s4's use the loki exploit to install a custom rom?
