Droidmodderx from YouTube will fix you up. It's really simple. Hope you find what you need there.

Why in development?

Did you turn on Usb Debugging in your phone settings?

I would generally have better luck recognizing my device when installing drivers on new computers with USB debugging disabled first, then re-enable it. Also with USB connected & drivers installed, go thru all the USB modes available cuz each have different drivers to be recognized (& depending on the root method you're using, the driver may not have been recognized yet, like adb services...)

I found it was my usb cable. Something defective about it. Tried another and worked like a charm.

ADB Issues...

I am S-OFF revone -> hex edited hboot, viperROM
I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I've never used ADB before, so I'm not sure if this is device-specific. I'm pretty good with Fastboot (for some reason that works just fine) and I've read up on ADB, but I can't use commands because I'm experiencing what I believe is a driver issue.
I am running Windows 7 x64
When I plug my phone in and run a cmd window, I type
adb devices
And it shows blank in the listed devices. So, I tried sending a reboot command and it said
error: device not found
I tried reinstalling my htc drivers, and I can't get the AdbDriverInstaller or pdanet to recognize my device. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind... I fixed it. In msconfig I had disabled an HTC service a long time ago and forgot about it... D'oh!

Wiped internal storage, like a dumbass...

So I just got this last Wednesday. I read through a guide, and watched an instructional video on how to root my device. Everything works fine up until the point where I have to install SuperSU or SuperUser. Now, my friend uses SuperUser so I thought I would go ahead and follow his footsteps with that. I install ViperOne, and it finishes. After the reboot, my device is stuck in a bootloop. I wipe the memory, not thinking, and removed everything. My backpu, ViperOne, everything. I look up some more guides and learn about the abd push ROM.zip /sdcard/ command and try it out but I'm getting device not found. I have an OTG cable coming, but the possibility is there to use adb so until it does come, I'd like to at least attempt.
Current status:
Can only access boot loader and TWRP. ADB is not working. I wouldn't mind running an RUU but the only file I found on it, on top of downloading it twice @ 80kbps, says there's an error and I can't extract it from the .zip archive.
I don't know what more information I should provide, but any advice on how to unbrick this would be greatly appreciated. This is an amazing android, and all I wanted to do was make it better :c

Try reinstalling drivers on your computer. You might have to do some research here to find them though. Good luck.

Try holding power button down until the bottom lights stop flashing and let it boot up.
....assuming you flashed the Sprint version.
Sorry. Misunderstood your post...ruu may be your best bet here.

Look HERE

I did the same thing when I first got the phone. Download the drivers for the one from the htc site, also try installing HTC sync if you haven't already. I'd provide links, but I'm not at a computer right now. Try using another computer if you can. Also, try restarting your phone WHILE it's plugged into your computer, or a different usb port. That helped me get adb working.

Use these drivers, make sure to delete all other drivers. Once installed go to device manager and search for new drivers, then pick these.

Make sure you have the Google usb drivers installed prior to connecting the phone and developer mode is on, should work like a charm, I had the same issue until I uninstalled the phone from the computer and reinstalled it that way

Got it done soldier. Thanks. Driver issue stumped me as well. All is good now. Trying to figure which ROM to flash.

Kindle Fire 7 5th Gen

Hey guys. I've tried rooting my new Kindle Fire 7 5th Gen but the furthest I get is to the fastboot screen "waiting for device" and nothing else happens. I have downloaded and installed the device utilizes and the kindle's serial is recognized by the root program. Any ideas on what I may be missing or what may be causing the issue?
P.S I was able to install the Google Play Store using a similar program no problem. And everything seems to be working fine with that.

How are you trying to root? Which method? Filename of root method? Did you watch the video?

I used the method used by Root Junky in his YouTube video.

having the same issue
i too was able to install google play and remove adds
did you happen to get a fix?

No. Still searching for one. I've heard something about a twrp boot but its a more complicated process and I don't want to risk bricking my device unless I get a tutorial that breaks it down simply. I guess I'll just be waiting for another method if one comes along.

It's pretty safe, bootloader is locked, which means critical partitions are protected (bootloader, recovery...)
I have also posted some unbrick instructions here
Unbrick/Restore Stock 2015 Amazon Fire (KFFOWI/Ford) with custom recovery

Me Too... Check this...
I'm having the same problems... Check your device manager, when device boots to "fastboot" scren, are you getting a Yellow "Other Devices" with "Android" in it? instead of the ADB Composite under "Android Devices" the video says to look for?
I think I figured out the problem... Now just still looking for a solution.

You need to force it to use the drivers that have already been installed, just didn't get applied correctly for some reason.
Let us know if this helped... or not

its saying "fire" under portable devices and there is no "android devices" listed in device manager for some reason only "other devices" in which the tablet is not displaying at all
i tried the update driver software but when i point to to what the instructions tell me to windows shows an error saying there is no files compatible with my device? so im stuck

There is a stumbling block which isn't mentioned in the videos. You will need to install the driver via
Device manager
-
Browse my computer for driver software
-
let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
-
All
-
Have disk
At this stage point to the folder containing the driver you downloaded.
As you go through the process of rooting etc you will come to a point where it says "Fast boot" on the tablet and "Press any key to continue" on your pc, this is where the process stops dead, you need go through the driver process again while everything is still plugged in and running, you will see the device name is different this time plus it uses a different driver this time.
Everything else is as the video shows.

Thanks Mate! I will try this as soon as possible and let you know if it works. I'd much rather root than install a whole new software so I've been holding out for a while.

Thanks again Mate! It worked! Finally! I went to device manager while in fastboot mode and sure enough it showed that the drivers weren't installed correctly. As soon as I manually installed them again I was able to finish the root process. Thanks!?

Just so you know, all mentions of that particular app are not allowed at xda. It's considered piracy, warez, what have you.

I didn't know. I'll remove it if I get confirmation.
Sent from my KFFOWI using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I have seen a whole discussion on lucky patcher quite some time ago that was never removed. It focused more on how it works, how to protect against it.
I do not believe simply mentioning the name lucky patcher is banned. It is recommending it for piracy that is not permitted. TheKhrish made zero mention of what she used LP for. People who were previously unfamiliar would not have even known it could be used for piracy.

Thanks for clarifying Blueberry. I do not intend to use LP illegally. Just as I use Flex for IOS (Apple) I use it as one way of practicing my developer skills while I try to learn. Just as a hobby.
P.S And I'm a she.
