Dear all,
I could not post this thread directly into twa_priv thread on ROM-JB 4 .2.1. I installed 4.2.1 since the first ROM was released. Beside the volume slider & Tablet UI which is not available now and the deep sleep (fixed recently), it is seem that everything run smoothly. But my PC & laptop would not recognize the Fire since 4.2.1 & I have to download the new ROM from the Fire itself. I reinstalled ADB, showed in Device manager but when connect to PC, nothing happen in the Fire (instead of show the USB storage mode in all 4.1.1 & 4.1.2 ROM. I do not want to go back to 4.1.2. Anyone have similar problem?
I'm noticing the same thing.
Under Settings, go to System then User Interface. Check the box with the USB notification
---------edit-----------
I guess that this actually doesn't work. Sorry.

I figured it out! I hope this helps.
First, you must go to Settings, then at the bottom under About, tap the build number about seven times. Then follow these instructions:

I tried that. It didn't work. When I plug the usb cable in a notification with an alien head shows up that says "Android debugging enabled. Select to disable debugging." If I select the notification, it takes me to settings.
In case it matters:
Computer: OpenSuse 12.2
Tablet: Kindle Fire CM10.1 1/17/2013
Any ideas? Thanks,
- Peter

It's different this time around. There is no "USB detected. Select to transfer files" or whatever it says. What you have is correct. Just let it sit. You don't need to do anything. After about 5-10 sec you should receive a notification on your computer that you have a mass storage device. That is your kindle.
So what you have is correct.

Alas, I have let it wait for several minutes. Nothing happens. I found that TWRP works for usb mounting, though, so I used that.
Thanks.

Could be your drivers remove this file from kfu 's driver folder and add this one http://db.tt/vXXeuL10 reinstall the driver by running the driver bat packaged with kfu then plug your kindle in good luck.
I attempted to root my kindle fire and halfway through the rooting processes somehow the Kindle Fire got disconnected. I am now stuck at the splash screen that displays the white and orange Kindle Fire logo and it will not get past this screen. Nothing else happens its just the static logo. I went online and ordered a fast boot cable and attempted to fix it that way but it still will not work and remains on the static splash screen. The computer does not even seem to recognize that it's plugged in nor is it listed in the device manager. I have scoured countless forums trying to find a solution to unbrick my Kindle Fire. Any suggestions on how to get it back and working? I've even searched this forum countless times and cannot find anything that will work! Please help!

Yes, it was using the Kindle Fire Utility. Any way just to reinstall 6.3 and have it back to unrooted normalness?

The odd thing is that my desktop PC does not detect the kindle device via USB, but my laptop does. Any suggestions? Even if I plug it into my laptop it doesn't get past the Kindle Fire logo (white and orange) screen.

As long as your laptop can detect..you are save... do the following and try:
1. Reboot your kindle and insert usb cable.
2. Start KFU on your PC
3. Once the Kindle Fire logo appear, at your laptop KFU, quickly hit "1" for Boot Menu, and then hit "1" again for Normal Boot.
Let me know if it works...

I faced the same issue and I precisely had done what ataraxist has suggested.
On your laptop, you might also need to install the drivers which come along with KFU.
That is precisely what works unless something is broken.
Thanks to all that replied! I will be trying this tonight and will let you know if I am able to get it to work! Thanks again!

Try it again, only this time when you get "waiting for device", hold the power button until it shuts off and start it up again. You may have to repeat the process until you have a custom bootloader installed.

Tried it for almost half an hour with it sitting and trying to reboot, no such luck. My laptop is running Windows 8, and it makes the "usb plugged in connection" sound but then it won't let me install the driver for it. I have the driver installed on my Windows 7 desktop, but the KF is not recognized as being plugged in by my desktop.

Yeah, Windows 8 won't work. Boot a Linux LiveUSB and run SoupKit to eliminate Windows driver issues altogether.
FIXED!
Thanks to all that replied! The Soupkit worked! Loaded Ubuntu 12.10 onto a flashdrive, downloaded Soupkit ran it, it took a few reboots but then it finally ran TWRP and I was able to wipe and install the 6.3.1 upload and all is working now! Thanks a ton once again!
I have a kindle fire which wasn't doesn't connect to the computer. I get an error message such as "USB device not recognized". I had rooted the kindle fire and I thought that this problem could have been because of the rom or some kind of kernal error so I installed the stock rom thinking that I will just re-root if however the connection problem still was still there. So now I have kindle fire which is not rooted so doesn't have google market and I want to root it however cannot find a way to get it connected. I have tried 3 different computers and many different cables however still no success. I have also tried reinstalling the drivers, turning off and on the kindle fire with the cable plugged in. Could the port on the kindle fire be broken even though it charges fine. Also, would a factory cable help because I don't want to order it if it doesn't work. What other options do I have? I live in UK and this kindle fire is the 1st gen which was only available in US so cannot send it to amazon for checking.
Your help will be appreciated :good:
Do you have TWRP installed? If so, try connecting it to the computer using the USB mount via TWRP...
I have 3 Kindle Fire tablets that I installed a JB ROM on for some friends, and one will not connect to the computer (except via TWRP). I never did figure out why, but I could copy a ROM and Gapps to it while in TWRP. I set them all up the same, and that one still doesn't connect.

Plug the device in and manually uninstall the unknown device that shows up in Device Manager. Then Find the directory where the 'android_winusb.inf' is stored (somewhere in your WINDOWS directory), delete it, and start over.

Could it be possible that the port on the kindle fire is broken as I have tried connecting in on many computers and in none it has worked. Also I dont know if this is relevant but when I connect the kindle fire to the computer, the device is connected screen doesn't come up, it just charges and thats it no other change

If this is the stock OS, then I would say that is definitely a problem. You may have some system files missing for detecting USB devices plugged in as UMS. Are you able to access any flash drives?

Yes, my computer detects my galaxy s2 and other flash drives perfectly. Is there any way of rooting the kindle fire without connecting it to the computer? Because all i want is to have the play store on my device
The new version of KFU seems to have a much more effective driver install. You should try looking into that.

I am having the same issue with my KF2. USB Comms disappeared in terms of the device being recognised by XP but strangely fastboot worked and I was able to load CM11 on the device after downloading it via wifi and installing TWRP via fastboot. Still no USB on CM11 but its briefly recognised for a split second when it first boots. Monting the volume via TWRP has not effect either.
Have tried a variety of cables and have tried connecting the Kindle to an XP netbook, downloading fresh drivers etc etc etc.
Any ideas out there?

First off, did you use KFU?
OK, either way, make s sure the drivers from that are installed.
Probably restart your computer after you install drivers.
If that doesn't work, reboot your kindle, go into TWRP, mount your sd partition with it connected to your computer.
Hopefully one of these work.

Did you try different USB cables? Is ADB Debugging enabled under Developer options? If so, you might try disabling it and then plugging your KF in. That may fix your recognition issue.

Go into Settings -> Storage and select "USB computer connection" (may have to tap on the settings button in the top right to get this option, depending on what build you are using). Make sure you have Mass storage checked.
I've found some of the earlier CM builds had USB issues, but the newest ones work just fine (CM10.1/SG7 definitely works, as does Smooth ROM 1.5+). If all else fails, go into TWRP and mount your SD card from there instead.
nice catch, @zerbey. I didn't even think of this. personally, MTP works for me and mass storage doesn't work. experiment with both to see which works.

i am asking if i can root it and install android with wifi file transfer i mean i can transfer files from my computer to kindle with wifi

Wifi transfer will only work until kfu wants to shut it off to install the bootloader and recovery.
You may want to try to reinstall the drivers and if that doesn't work, try deleting your .android folder

Can that work on a Linux on virtual box or VMware because I don't have Ubuntu installed
Run linux on a live usb. Use linux mint mate 13 or ubuntu 12.04 32 bit. It has to have persistent to save data between reboots. Once booted run Soupkit on the live system http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038 . Truth not all usb cables are the same I have two that will not detect fastboot at all.
