Hey,
I keep on getting the "USB Device not recognized" message on my rooted Kindle Fire HD with stock ROM 7.2.3.
Tried on several Windows 7&8 machines to no avail. The USB ports are checked and working with an external harddrive, mouse etc.
Does anyone have a clue? It actually seems to be an issue on the Kindle device itself and isn't reporting itself as an existing device?
I tried several things, like:
- Holding power button 20+ sec while the USB is connected.
- Reboot PC etc.
- ADB, verifying the drivers the 0x1949 etc.
Nothing helps. Please let me know if you know the solution!
Thanks

Well, it seems like you forgot about one very important thing: the USB!
Use only the original cable that came with the Fire. Not anything else! There is a reason why the company gives a USB cable when you buy the device, you know.
Cable isn't the problem

Unfortunately I already tried with the official cable. Same problem. Would a reset to factory defaults resolve this? And do I then keep my root access?
any luck with this?...i just got a Kindle Fire HD and am having the same problem...ADB drivers seem to be working fine, and the Kindle is rooted, but it does not show up at all in Windows Explorer, so i can't transfer anything to it
also, i've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the ADB drivers several times, but still nothing in Win Explorer...one thing i notice, even though i delete/uninstall all Kindle drivers i see in Device Manager, including "Hidden Devices", when i go to reinstall the drivers, i get a pop-up windows saying ADB drivers are already installed, and asking if i would still like to re-install the drives...how do i delete everything relating to the Kindle on my PC, so that i can do a completely fresh install of the drivers?
Nope still nothing.

Hmmm the ADB drivers aren't working for me, so you are one step closer! I still have the problem and am still considering a full reset, but afraid of bricking....
Both of you, download this file and install the drivers over the old ones, see if it helps: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/vprplelu9zx7s2o/kindle_fire_usb_driver.rar?dl=1

didn't help...i even spent several hours doing a Win7 "Repair Install", thinking that would help...but disappointingly, after the repair, same issue....Win7 does not recognize it as a mass storage device, and doesn't show it in Win Explorer...i did install the ADB drivers, and do have ADB access, just nothing through Win Explorer :crying: .... on another computer also running Win7 x64, the Kindle shows up fine in WinExplorer
aaaaarggggghhhhh....:crying: i did a totally fresh install of Win7 x64 on a brand new hard drive...and this computer still won't recognize the Kindle as a mass storage device?!?!?....so i have to assume there is something wrong with the computer...but ADB works, and i was able to root the Kindle with this computer
Be sure ADB is enabled on the device itself if you have ever wiped the sdcard or have a custom ROM installed.

i got the same problem, in my thread i also posted many screenshots but nobody still has found a solution....
i was never able to get one of my PCs to recognize the KFHD as a USB storage device, but at least ADB works...so i've decided to just wirelessly connect (w/ AirDroid, WiFi File Transfer,etc.) to the Kindle for file/media transfers...an even better solution than using a USB cable :victory:
on device manager what do you see?
(i solved my problem doing that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167129&page=4)
My device still doesn't work
For me it still doesn't work. Didn't do a full reset, because I am too scared I will loose my Root access which will make my device completely useless...... Going to contact Amazon support.

I don't see ADB stuff.... ADB doesn't work anymore either....
I've noticed with other devices that I've rooted that windows is VERY tempermental when it comes to adb and windows recognizing any android device. If you have everything installed correctly, I have actually found sometimes simply disconecting your kindle from your computer and rebooting both and then reconnecting helps sometimes. Like I said windows is VERY tempermental. Worked for me more than once with my phone and my kindle.

Funny thing is, I have two KFHD 7" both rooted. Windows sees one but not the other. Device manager shows Kindle Fire- Android ADB Interface on the one not showing up in Explorer and shows same plus Portable Device-Kindle Fire on working one.
Have been able to install 2nd boot loader on the working one and CM 10, but can't do anything else with the other. I have a fast boot cable and have restored it back and wiped several times to no avail.
One thing I noticed, The one that doesn't recognize in explorer only shows to have 12.9 GB space while other working one shows 27.9Gb space.
I have been successful with a KFHD 8.9, KF 7" 1st gen and KF2 and (1) KFHD 7" in rooting, 2nd boot loader and custom ROMs (along with many other Android devices), but not this one 7" HD.
This thing is driving me crazy.
Help Plz
EDIT: Okay going thru my notes I think that I have figured out what has caused this (still don't know how to fix). It seems that after the first root, wifi was on and it updated itself to 7.3.1. It is only after this, that I can't get ADB and flash boot loader or files to SD card. Using KFHD rescue tool and KFFirst aid I have flashed back to 7.2.3 with root (tried both) , but still can't get ADB. Fastboot with factory cable works fine though. With the kindle booted up on 7.2.3 rooted or 7.3.1 non root, Windows still doesn't see the device. Device manager shows ADB device but not the SD card part of the device. Is there any way to recover everything back to stock (non root) to start fresh?
Finally Fixed

Problem solved:
Here is what I did to fix the problem.
If you haven't preformed this fix for windows, do this first. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36373627
First plug in device to computer and navigate to device manager. Then go to kindle fire and expand to show Android ADB Interface. Right click on it and select "Scan for Hardware changes". Let it run. If it finds nothing don't worry. Then right click again and select update driver. Navigate to locate drivers myself. If you have KFFirstAide or other utility locate to where the ADB drivers are in that file and select ok. It will go through the process and install the drivers. After doing this you should now be able to see the device through explorer and transfer files.
I now have 2nd bootloader and CM 10.1 (Hashcode) up and running great. Hope this helps.
I have a kindle fire hd that my girlfriend gave me and I rooted it and out kinology on it. I let her borrow it and she got into recovery to clear cache and erased the whole internal memory and rom, so now it goes to recover but can't boot and computers don't recognize it at all I've tried 4 computers all windows 7 or xp and none of them can read it which means I can't put a rom on it anymore can anyone help?

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.

didnt work sorry computer still wont see the hard drive of the kindle and i dont know how to use adb to sideload plus you gave the same link twice the tutorial is actually not a tutorial but thanks for the help so far anyone else have any ideas? it also says unable to locate volume information for usb storage mode when i try to mount the usb storage through recovery
First of all, my device (Kindle Fire HD 7), is already flashed with CM11 from hashcode, has TWRP installed and all that. Devices is working perfectly fine on all front except for the ADB thing. (as far as I know)
Now, when I plug my device to my PC with a regular cable, windows recognize it as the Kindle Fire 7, that's fine and all, if I wanted to just see the SD, but I'm trying to boot it so it uses the ADB driver in order to push/pull some files into it, yet windows simply refuses to see it as such, no matter how many times I uninstall the driver and try to reinstall the ADB driver, even tried using my fastboot cable, that time Windows used the ADB driver, but couldn't see the device at all, so that didn't help.
What am I doing wrong here? I tried looking in the settings of the device to enable ADB, other than the superuser options for Apps+ADB, couldn't find anything else.(no standalone Enable ADB option, is that standard in Hashcode's firmwares? Am I missing something?)
You'd think in Fastboot mode I would be able to see the darn device.
Edit : When booting in recovery (TWRP) I can see the device with ADB, but that's the thing, that doesn't help me update TWRP to a newer version, among the other things I wanted to do.

Go into the settings, hit about tablet, tap the build number about 8 or 10 times, now the developer menu will be unhidden and you can enable adb.
Oh, you have got to be...
Well, I thought I was being trolled, but that did the trick. Talk about a well hidden feature, God, why...
Lmao first time someone ever said they thought I was trolling. Yea its weird that it's like that, seems to me if you know enough to flash a custom ROM on a device then the developer options would be unhidden by default because you might be using it.

*My KFHD7 will not load passed the initial, "kindle fire" logo.
*While running KFFirstAide64 runme.bat, it reads, "The system cannot find the path specified" after I try the recovery.
*In Device Manager under other devices it states, "Soho-PVT-Prod-07"; My computer is communicating with the Kindle.
*I am using a factory (fastboot) cable and my tablet is in fastboot mode as of right now.
*Last updated version known: 11.2.3.2
Is there any other program or recovery option that I can use to restore my KFHD7 to it's factory conditions? How can I get the system to "find the path specified"?
Solution!
I don't know how I missed it but here it is.

Additional Problems...
When I run the program to recover, it reads, "<waiting for device>".
*I am using "KFHD_SRTv1.3.5" SR Tool which was recommended to me.
*I've tried using different USB ports.
*Waiting for the device proves to be pointless.
*I have downloaded the ADB driver but installing it shows no improvements.
What can I do?
That is for the Kindle fire HD 2012 edition. If you flash it to your Kindle you will Brick it.
You need this program.

I have downloaded the program and tried to restore my device but I ran into the same problem, "waiting for device". I've installed the device drivers as well. I checked on one of the other programs my ADB status and it is not on. I don't believe I can turn it on without getting passed the initial bootlogo.
Do I need the ADB enabled in order for a full recovery? How can I get my device to be acknowledged by this program when my computer is reading that it's there?
EDIT:
I need to restore my kindle.
While in fastboot mode, the logo has 3D orange font that says "fastboot" with a black background. There is nothing else that shows up. Before I tried to root there was green font in I think the top left corner; looked like a cmd prompt was running something (if I recall correctly)..
if you are in fast boot and stuck waiting for device you are probably having a driver problem like I had. I used fastboot on Linux instead of Windows and solved my driver issue that way.

Sorry for the late reply. I'll try out Linux OS and see what happens. I'll let ya'll know the news :fingers-crossed:
EDIT::
So my computer crashed trying to fix my kindle; hard drive malfunction of some sort. My friend put the hard drive into his computer and it erased his BIOS. We then put in an 80GB hard drive that we got for $10, re-installed windows and tried again. Hard drive crashed crashed again. Maybe when I tried to install the drivers they were installed onto my computer instead of the Kindle?
This is an on going process but I probably won't be posting again any time soon. Maybe when I actually start programming things will be a little more self explanatory.
Thanks for all your help. This is all for this thread.
Help me please! I have an htc one m7 AT&T. My device is still s-on, I can access recovery (twrp), but my phone cannot be identified in adb sideload. I am on hboot 1.55.0000. My computer is also bricked so I can't do much unless I drive to my parents. When I went there to use their PC, I installed all the latest htc drivers (even tried some older ones), android sdk and Java SE. I was on a windows 7 64 bit PC. Trust me I've done a sideload before and everything was set up properly. The phone is recognized in fast boot, but not in recovery. The phone has no os on it and recovery says it is no longer rooted. What can I do from here? I am thinking perhaps mounting from usb otg. Will this work? Is there a fast boot command that could be of assistance? I am completely stuck and could really use some help. I don't care what I have to do just explain it to me and I'll love you forever. There is nothing on my internal memory anymore it was wiped somehow. If you need any other info I'll happily provide it for you. Anything involving using a PC or Mac (I have access to both platforms at my parents) will have to wait until I can get out there again. I can't afford a new phone right now and this iPhone im using sucks lol. Thanks In advance for any help.

Are you still needing help with this? Your problem appears to be driver related or possibly a problem with you recovery version.
Which recovery are you using (name and version please) to check if it's a driver problem boot to recovery and connect to a Windows pc. Open the device manager and check what the device is listed as. It should be "MY HTC".
Now I'm running windows 10, I have TWRP v. 2.7.1.1. Like I said previously the computer is not detecting the device at all. I literally have no idea what to do. My new PC doesn't recognize it in fastboot either :/
what is status ur bootloader?
if locked or relocked then
1. install latest htc syn manager
2. run RUU.exe
