My Kindle is never recognized by KFU . Here's what you need:
Android SDK
Working adb and fastboot
KFU
On windows 7 shift+right click in your KFU tools directory and click "open command window here"
Here are the commands:
adb devices (your device should be listed)
adb shell (make sure it shows up as root, there will be a #, if not su)
idme bootmode 0x4002
reboot
Then your device should be booted into fastboot mode

He could be having the same problem I had, no /system/bin/sh so the adb technique will not work. I had to make a factory cable, which got me into fastboot mode (but ROMS still are not applying right, that question is in another thread).

This is a shot in the dark, but have you checked that there is a .android directory under your user profile? Does it contain the adb_usb.ini configuration file? For some unknown reason the first time I tried, the install_drivers batch file didn't make the directory, so adb didn't initialize. Windows wouldn't let me make a new folder named .android so I had to go to the command prompt and make the directory myself using the old MS-DOS md command then copy the configuration file.
There is a section in Kindle Fire For Beginners that describes how to verify the drivers are loading. If you haven't seen it, it's worth the read.

Thanks for the KFFB plug. Just as an FYI, fastboot doesn't look at the adb_usb.ini file... adb is the only thing that looks at it.

I just updated my fastboot guide (the second link I gave you) with details on how to get the hardware IDs and identify whether or not you are in fastboot mode. Take a look again and see what your hardware IDs are. If that doesn't help you, post a more detailed description of what you are doing, what the device is doing, what errors you get, etc. The more details you can provide, the easier it will be for your helpers to determine what's happening. Look at the sticky post at the top of this section.

i know this is also a stupid question, but how do i issue the "fastboot oem format" command? i tried partitioning my kf but it failed....

Kindle bricked - Can't find the solution anywhere

Hey guys,
so I'm pretty new to the whole android scene and thought it would be a good idea to root my kindle fire. So, i went and downloaded the kindle fire utility and hit install permanent root with superuser.... but didnt put on twrp. oops. I was one of the few unfortunate ones whos rooting didnt work so smoothly. Now i have a kindle that is stuck on the stock start up screen indefinitely. When i plug it in it says windows does not recognize the device - just install the drivers, no big deal right? wrong. i installed the android sdk and all that jazz, and i installed the drivers packed with the kindle fire utility, and still my computer recognizes it as a universal serial bus controller.
every guide for unbricking either assumes you have twrp, or that the re installation of drivers will fix it. im at a complete and utter loss

So, i installed the drivers, and opened up the cmd window, but i have no idea how to navigate to the correct directory through cmd now. sorry about my ignorance, really, but could you break t down a tad more?

Navigating to a directory is very easy.
Type cd and then put the file path after it.
Example:
cd c:\Program Files\ Adobe

Shift+ right click on the tools folder in kindle fire utility select open command window here.

@reinhardrudi,
when you say "i cant really install ADB driver", do you mean you have installed the drivers, but Windows fails to detect your Kindle when plugged into your PC's USB port?
On your PC, please check if file "adb_usb.ini" is present in folder "C:\Users\<your username>\.android\" (please note the leading dot in ".android").
I should contain the line "0x1949".
If you don't have this file (or it does not contain above-mentioned line), just create it with a normal text editor, e.g. Notepad.
Again, it only needs to contain one single line:
0x1949
and must be located in folder
C:\Users\<your username>\.android\ (assuming you have not changed the location of the user profiles on your PC).
Hope this helps

hello and THX
i have access to kindle to put files on it.but all the ADB/fastboot access test are failed. the kindle does not respond.i have no separately entry in the device manager.only under "mobile devices (in german "tragbare geräte")
Amazon Kindle Fire2 and the driver is a microsoft driver!
yes-i have this ini with "0x1949".
thx
reinhardrudi

@reinhardrudi
OK, let's try it this way:
In your very first post of this thread you mentioned you had a "fastboot-cabel".
When you connect the Kindle to your PC via this cable, does it come up in fastboot mode? If it it does, it will clearly display "fastboot" on the Kindle's screen - so there's no mistaking any other condition with the fastboot mode.
With the Kindle in fastboot mode, please open a command prompt (aka DOS box) and enter "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" (without the quotation marks) and hit the [Enter/Return] key (assuming the directory where you have fastboot.exe and adb.exe residing is your current directory - if not cd into this directory first). Please post the result.
If your cable does not trigger the device to boot into fastboot, then it's most probably NOT a factory cable. Please note that the USB cable that comes with the Kindle by default is NOT a factory cable. A factory cable is specially wired to force the Kindle to fastboot mode.
Please run the test described above and come back here with the results. We'll then take it from there.

The picture quality is awful.. But- it looks like there is an exclamation point next to your otter2 device.
Is that correct?
If so, the drivers are not installed

[Q] KF2 Rooted with cm11 and kitkat running

My kf2 was working fine but I ran out of room to install apps. I deleted unneeded apps still not enough room. I booted into twrp did a full wipe and now I can't side-load any roms to install. Twrp shows no OS installed. It will boot into twrp fine but nothing else. I have a fastboot cable. My computer recognizes my kf2 as an adb device but I can't seen to get anything to load. Some of the commands in KFFAID work but not all. I am trying to load cm11 and kitkat back. Any help would be appreciated.

if sideload doesnt work then just do this, put the rom you want to flash and its gapps in the folder that adb is in, and run this while booted into twrp: adb push romnamegoeshere /sdcard/
then you can install the rom from inside twrp

didn't work

Here is what happened. It said the device was not found. In the device manager it shows adb device under kindle fire.

Look on your task manager and kill every instance of adb.exe that you see and try again, I had that happen before when multiple instances were running. As long as it is in twrp then adb should work. If it continues to not work then uninstall the adb driver and if you see the MTP kindle device still there remove it as well, there might be a composite device that needs removing too, I find it a pita going between fastboot, recovery and whatever ROM os flashed if I use windows because of this, the drivers constantly have to be reinstalled when you change modes for me, hence why I avoid working with my kindle in windows and instead just use Linux. If you see any USB composite devices, check the hardware id's for a vid of 1949, if it has that then feel free to uninstall it. This may sound a bit complex, if you need more of an explanation just tell me.

My computer only recognizes the kindle as an adb device in fastboot mode. I haven't been able to use any of the adb commands on it with any luck. It says device not found. This only shows in kffaid version 4.1.87-beta.

*facepalm* you don't use adb commands with fastboot, you use fastboot commands with fastboot. When it is in twrp it should have adb access though...

I think I have a driver issue. I forgot to thank you for your help. If I could send the zip rom and gapps I could get it back to where it was. Is there anyway to start all over from the original kindle OS at this point?
Thanks you

You coukd restore it in fastboot using kffa but it seems like unnecessary work. I would boot a ubuntu 13.10 live cd/usb and just attempt it from there since there won't be any driver issues.

these commands should do the trick assuming the repos are all active in the downloadable section of the software updates control panel.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot
and after that the fastboot command will work but keep in mind to give it superuser privis with sudo or it probably wont work, i had forgotten that recently on my own pc since i don't deal with fastboot too often. ex: sudo fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

I had to work all weekend. I tried to get access through ubuntu 13.10. I used the commands you provided (sudo apt-get update). This command worked fine. When I used this command (sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot) It said I had to enable universe. I did some research and got that working and tried to use this command again (sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot) then this one worked fine. Then I tried the last command with my kindle in fastboot mode flashing green light (sudo fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product ). The message was cannot connect to otter-2 ... device. Same thing I have been getting all along.
I think when I wiped the system I cleared all the software to connect to any external device. I don't know if I can even get access to restore the original OS. If you haven't guessed by now I an a noob. I think you realized that with my adb commands with fastboot enabled. I got the impression you knew when I saw the *facepalm* comment the the beginning of you post. When my kindle is booted to twrp my computer does not recognize it. My computer will recognize as an adb device when in fastboot mode. My computer will recognize it as a kindle (with a yellow triangle in the device manager) when it is trying to boot with the white and blue logo. I don't know what to do at this point. Here is a screen shot with adb side load from twrp.

Interesting, seems that data didn't want to mount. Have you tried adb from Linux while in twrp? Just run "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb" to install the command, if you can get adb access at least then I may be able to help fix this depending on what exactly is wrong. BTW I didn't exactly think you were a noon with that facepalm, I just see people get that misconception a lot about adb and fastboot commands. What exactly did that fastboot command report back, I was surprised it was an error when I saw otter2 in the error considering that was what that command was sort of supposed to report back.

Here is where I am. See below. Now where do I put the file in ubuntu so I can access it from the terminal window. I am running ubuntu from a live CD. I tried the push command but it says no such file or directory. I told you I was a noob!
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF recovery

Since adb is in a system path must out it in the current directory you are CD'd into, if you left the terminal alone it should be in ~ (the home folder of the Ubuntu account) so photo the home folder and drop it in there and run "adb push filename /sdcard/"
Considering that /data doesn't want to mount and that /sdcard os technically in /data, that command might not work depending on what's going on. I reccomend seeing if you can first and if not goto the months and mount /cache if its not mounted already, and they pushing a twrp update into it to try to reflash twrp, its small enough I think it should fit into the cache, though I don't think a ROM would fit.

I installed ubuntu on my laptop with windows 7. It seems to work better. I put the files in the home folder and the user folder. I mounted the cache and ubuntu said instead of unable to mount it was unable to access kindle now. Here is the terminal window results.

Um OK well the filenames are case sensitive in Linux so lookout for that. Also if it was in your home folder then it should have worked as long as you didn't CD anywhere else in the terminal first.

Problem Fixed
I fixed my problem. I had to restart my kindle into recovery mode and connect the fastboot cable to the computer and kindle before it booted into TWRP. At that point while booted into TWRP I used the push command in ebuntu terminal to sideload cm11 and gapps. After I loaded them I installed them with TWRP and rebooted. Now it is restored to where it was when I wiped it. I will not do the advanced wipe again.
adb push cm-11-20140202-NIGHTLY-otter2.zip /sdcard/
adb push gapps-kk-20131119.zip /sdcard/

[Q] HELP: ADB server didn't ACK... Cannot connect to daemon

I have a 1st gen kindle fire.. That I rooted. But when i tried to install GAPPS and TWRP, the CMD window wouldn't let me. The error: "ADB server didn't ACK... Cannot connect to daemon" would pop up. So nothing else would load.
I then tried and tried various methods of fixes ( three days now), but none would work. Same constant error message in CMD window.
To make matters worse now, In one of my attempts to fix the problem, I've managed to brick the kindle. It's stuck on load page. Just says kindle fire on the screen.
ANY ANY ANY help .. would be greatly appreciated

There are 2 different types of commands sent from pc to an android device, adb and fastboot.
Adb is used when device is in recovery or system/Rom is running.
Fastboot is used when device is in fastboot mode or bootloader mode.

Step 3 says to put them all in the same folder on my C drive.
"Step 3: Place Files
Create a folder in c drive named adb,
unzip/extract files,
copy AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll, adb.exe, fastboot.exe, fbmode, fff-u-boot_v1.5.bin, and openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-blaze.img to adb folder."
I am sooooooo confused right now!!!
I was following step by step. I got the kindle to Root... but then it all went down hill from there. And now it's bricked. ANd I can't figure out how to get out of it.
As I said.. i've been trying for three days now.. All different methods.

That is until I somehow bricked it. Now I can't seem to do ANYTHING on it.

As I said.. i've been trying for three days now.. All different methods.
I keep running into problems with the CMD prompts..
That is until I somehow bricked it. Now I can't seem to do ANYTHING on it.

Create a folder in c drive named adb

One of the methods I was trying was this : http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-unbrick-your-amazon-kindle-fire-46412/
However, once again, whenever it goes into the CMD phase, I get the phrase: "ADB server didn't ACK... Cannot connect to daemon"
So before I can unbrick it, I'm thinking I need to fix this other problem FIRST. The "ADB server didn't ACK... Cannot connect to daemon" problem.

I have not got that to work with System version 6.3.3 or 6.3.4.

It's not bricked it's in fastboot mode, where it needs to be to flash FFF and Twrp, the problem is your pc and the commands you are using.

OK.. done..
I've attached an image showing what files are in the folder.
Now I opened a cmd window in C and Started step 4. But I got an error message: * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * ADB server didn't ACK * failed to start daemon * error: cannot connect to daemon.

Thank you so much for your help so far..
OK.. so I went ahead and tried step 6. Although the response didn't come back as it should have. I then went to the troubleshooting page and input:
If you got to step
Code:
fastboot devices
and do not get a proper code return, and you have checked drivers in Device Manager, or drivers don't seem to install correctly
you can try
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000
then
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot"
But now when i try to move ahead, the cmd window says it's waiting for device.
The Kindle at first looked as if it were going to reboot, but after a couple of times where the Kindle Fire logo went on and off ( at first disjointed then normal) . then it just stayed on that . Now underneath it says : Battery is too low ( 29%) . Please wait while your Kindle charges.
So I guess I just wait for it to charge? I'm not sure.
What do you suggest my next steps to be?
Again.. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me!

UPDATE:
Well after a while , the Kindle Fire restored itself to factory.. Had me input all my info again on the Kindle.
So I guess one problem is fixed... It's not Bricked.
Is it still rooted as it was before the problem. And if it is, can I then install FFF and TWRP?
And Finally.. THANK YOU so much for helping me UNBRICK it in the first place!!

Did you use install.drivers.bat from Kindle Fire Utility? If not do so now.
