Just got a Kindle Fire the one for $39 dollars, and Of course i wanted to root it or put the google play store on there, But i can't
i've tried EVERYTHING. Watched videos, tried 3 different ways, No matter what I do, ADB Files won't install on Windows 10. Enable ADB is checked, and when I plug it in, it recognizes my Fire and it sees the Drivers, but fails during the installation.
Help!!

I have 2 Kindle Fire 2nd generations. I'm trying to root them. So far, I have successfully rooted one, using qemu, and Bin4ry's Root as laid out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075959 . In order to be successful with this, I already have the drivers installed, and the SDK for this. I have already made sure that ADB was enabled on the device, but it is not being detected when trying "adb devices" from the command line. I have also already tried to kill-server, and start-server, I've rebooted both the Kindle, and the PC. Also, my PC is running Windows Vista. My computer detects both devices as a Kindle, and I am able to transfer files to and from both devices fine. The only apparent difference between the 2 is that adb will detect one fine and not the other. When I run "adb devices" with my other Kindle connected, it detects that one just fine. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it!

Are you using the same cable?
Try going to the computers device manager and disabling the kindle uninstalling the driver reinstalling it then reenable the kindle. then try adb devices and see if that works
I am using the same cable. I reinstalled the drivers by uninstalling, and reinstalling in device manager. It worked thank you! I'm surprised that it had to be reinstalled for an identical device, but I'm happy it worked. Sorry about the slow response, I've been busy the last couple of days. Again, I really appreciate the help!
Hey, I have been trying to root my fathers Kindle Fire HD so he can get the google play store and the google apps(maps, streetview etc) but I seem to have hit a wall!
I have installed the drivers and the Android SDK Tools program etc and got to the point where I open RunMe.bat through command prompt, but nothing happens on the Kindle, and now when I connect it to my computer, instead of popping up in my devices it isn't displayed at all and says "USB Compatibility" and a message about free file transer utilities on the actual device.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
If I have to restore the kindle, how do I back it up? is that all handle by the cloud? Will it keep all his apps/games/books etc?
Many thanks!

Which driver did you install? Sounds like the adb composite isn't loaded.
First: Ensure adb is enabled under settings.
Second: Read this to see if you installed the driver under adb device or adb composite. It needs to be the composite.
Install your drivers again.
Go to device manager and right click on your KFHD.
Click update driver.
Browse my Computer for driver software.
Let Me pick from a list of device
Show all and hit next
Hit have disk and browse to your directory where your driver is stored at.
After you click ok there will be a few adb choices. Always select adb composite device. Else half the dev adb tools cant detect the KFHD.
After that it will install the appropriate driver(64 or 32 bit)
Whallah you have installed the drivers.
***NOTE****
If you have already plugged in your KFHD and windows has already installed the incorrect driver don't panic. Right click the Kindle and click uninstall. Check delete driver and ok. Then you can proceed to install the right one.
I have buyed beginning frebruary a kindle fire hd 7 from amazon and rooted it, works very fine.
Now kindle makes update to 7.4.6 and the kindke is unrootet.
I thought, okay it´s must be easy to unrootet at again, but after 24 hours of frustrating, i need your help.
I´m mac user, i have dropbox with windows 32 bit, windiws 64 bit, adb driver doesn´t work here, i used over 10 times ago, no drivers works currently.
On the windows 7 64bit laptop, i have installed and uninstalled the drivers 20x times ago and every time i insert usb cable, the kindle works fine on windows, the device manager shows as kindle also i can use explorer to copy or move files from the intern sd card.
But if i activate ADB modus, the kindle is again under the device manager as kindle.
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33 doesn´t work, bat said every time demon load on port blabla but there is NOTHING after this message, nothing on the bat file or on the kindle, kindle doesn´t open a backup & restore screen.
The windows laptop said it´s PID 0007 (why??).
Every installation of the driver again (from this topic) said propertly not currelty installed, what is wrong?

After sending 13 hours working, search and hitting a brick wall, I decide to post. I have full installed all drivers for the my fire (5.1.4) in an attempt to downgrade it. Been to rootjunky and gotten the supertool. Downloaded the full Android Studio. Dow loaded the kindle fire usb driver and the kindle fire HD ADB driver. Downloaded QemuRoot, root_fire. All to no help. Mutilpe computer restarts. Wipe the device and cache. Still nothing. I have used the USB cord it came with and a high quality OEM cord. Still nothing. Been to computer management in an attempt to manually install the driver there. Still nothing. I am at my wits end. As it stands, the kindle when under Amazon system recovery <3e> is not connecting to my computer when I try to apply update from ADB. The message presented by my computer is "KFFOWI-----------------------X no driver found" Any suggestion, ANY WILL BE HELPFUL!
Thank you in advance

Solution
Here you have it:
Install manually in the windows drivers list, Fire Device -Android composite ADB interface, over KFFOWI. Then install Stock Rom via ADB. Enjoy!

I have the same problem, how do you install driver manually? On Windows I have only the update driver option and when I give him the location of adb USB driver. Windows tell me that there is no driver available for the device...
Any updates? I hit the exact same problem, tried everything online, still I cannot find a suitable driver for the "Kffowi" (with exclamation mark)..
Driver install
Go to device manager, right click on KFFOWI, click on update driver. Click Browse my computer. On the next screen, click the bottom option, "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
Scroll down and click on Fire Devices
Look for "Android Composite ADB Interface" and select it, then hit next.
Driver will install, confirm that you want windows to use the driver, and bam. Done.
Problem solved
Running LineageOS 12.1-20181218-UNOFFICIAL-ford. amonet-ford-v1.4.1 installed on PC and rebooted. There isn't even the sound that a new USB-device is connected nor anything happening in the Windows device manager when pluggin in KFFOWI. Enable Android debugging is grayed out. How should I proceed, if I wan to upgrade to [ford,austin] Lineage-14.1 [17 JAN 2021]?
LineageOS 12.1-20181218-UNOFFICIAL-ford is working fine, but has become very slow.
