[Q] For the love of God, someone have my answer

I'm tired of searching Google for answers and not finding them. So the problem is my Kindle Fire won't connect via USB to my PC, it will charge on it though. Now, this is where MY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT. Yes that is all caps for people who want to skip over these crucial details.
Kindle Fire was rooted, now it is not.
I do not have a Kindle Fire or Amazon device under device manager
Installing the adb drivers does nothing
I see nothing when Kindle Fire is plugged in to PC other than it is charging, NO MATTER HOW I DO IT
I feel like I'm forgetting some of the other more common answers that don't apply to me. Basically, I want to connect to my Kindle Fire to my PC but I have nothing on the PC end to recognize the Kindle Fire. It was rooted using the Kindle Fire utility 0.9.6, I unrooted using said utility as well and had to go and manually delete something IIRC so that it would boot normally into Kindle Fire, but it also not takes a lot longer to boot than it did out of the box. Is it possibly still rooted?
ALSO, Kindle Fire utility 0.9.6 can't find the Kindle Fire either.
What do I do?

Dou you have custom recovery installed?

I don't believe it did, or does. Whatever KFU put on it as standard is what it had on it. The most frustrating part of it is I don't have anything in Device Manager for it. No android phone, no Kindle/Kindle Fire, or Amazon, nothing. Installing the drivers does nothing, I even did a factory reset on the Kindle Fire and got nothing. I'm lost on this and I really want to put some books on my Kindle Fire so I don't have to read them on my iPhone.

When you boot your device, what does the boot logo look like (images, color, etc.)?

Kindle Fire logo, then blinks back on and glazes over from right to left and stays there for a while before turning on.

Orange and white Kindle Fire logo? Since you didn't specify I'll just assume that is correct.
Drivers are most likely the reason your computer won't detect the device correctly. Unfortunately with Windows, there is about a hundred solutions to this problem and none of them are effective enough to be called a real fix.
If you have a flash drive, you can set up a Linux LiveUSB and run SoupKit so you can issuee adb and fastboot commands, without dealing with Windows based driver problems and you can work to get to the root of your problem more effectively.

Yes, orange and white Kindle Fire logo. Any links to Linux LiveUSB, SoupKit and how to use them? I am a noob at a lot of these things.

All right, do I need to download and install android sdk for Linux? Using terminal and looking for adb devices using the Linux LiveUSB with SoupKit didn't find any adb devices with the Kindle Fire plugged in. So I assume I need to download sdk to install drivers?

If you used the preconfigured iso no other steps are needed. Adb and fastboot are already setup. Time to consider your cable and or USB port that you are using.

Might be cable, plugged it into another computer (running windows) and it didn't see it.

Yeah, it was the cable, I'll have to go pick up one for myself.

[Q] Root Gone Wrong

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!

KFU Didn't Work

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!

Be sure that in your computer > Device Maanger > Kindle Fire is not marked with yellow triangle. This is the only reason it is not detected by the KFU 0.9.6 . It happened to me as well, but was able to re-root my kindle.

Trying to be as thorough as possible:
I am running a Kindle Fire with software version 6.3.1, which was previously rooted until software update. (Curse you Amazon!)
My computer has Windows 7 64bit
I downloaded adt-bundle-windows-x86_64 and ran SDK Manager.
Ran and closed Eclipse although I am not sure why or what to do with it.
Downloaded/installed:
Android SDK Tools
Android SDK Platform-tools
Android 4.2 and all attendant programs
All of the Extras including Google USB Driver.
Downloaded KFU v0.9.6.
Ran “install drivers” (Also omitted this step after uninstalling in subsequent attempts)
Ran “run.bat.”
In the cmd window that opens I get the KFU menu but under that is listed:
ADB Status: Offline
Boot Status: Unknown
I have also gotten:
ADB Status: Online
Boot Status: Unknown
This happens ad lib whenever it feels like it.
The Kindle never shows anything but the “You can now transfer files, etc” screen.
I have gone from the KFU menu to Bootmode Menu and chosen Normal (4000), as well as, Fastboot. It says “Oops...something went wrong. We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire. Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.” (It was.)
I have restarted both the Kindle Fire and the PC repeatedly. Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Uninstalled/reinstalled the software that comes with SDK Manager.
Device Manager says under ADB Interface that it is Android Composite ADB Interface. Occasionally, however, I have had it listed further down the list as Kindle with the Yellow Error triangle and I have manually installed the drivers from there.
Note: I have also tried:
KindleFireRootNew631 which didn't work at all for me.
SuperOneClick v2.3.3.0 which tells me alternatively that my device appears to be already rooted, which is most definitely is not, and nothing...just kills ADB server and then starts ADB server and then....nada... Although the Windows circle thingie keeps circling, the task manager says it is “Not Responding”.
I have moved the USB port that I am using, always on one of the Mobo backplate USB's.
Changed cables.
Used a different computer.
Have resisted the urge to factory reset the device and/or break it in half!

If you can still transfer files, move everything you want off to your computer, then factory reset. Then try reinstalling drivers and running kfu

Have you tried using a factory reset cable ??? as they are different than a regular data cable .for my 1st gen kindle fire i used the factory cable that came with my first kindle black and white that used the e- ink without any problems whatsoever .you should be able to browse the forums to find one for sale i'm pretty sure you can also buy one straight from amazon

[Q] Kindle fire not detected - "USB device not recognized"

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.

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?

The new version of KFU seems to have a much more effective driver install. You should try looking into that.

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.

[Q] After Rooting With Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 Windows 7 Won't Connect USB To Kindle Fire

I am brand new to rooting so please excuse the noob naiveté. I rooted my original version Kindle Fire with the stable version of Cyanogenmod 10.1.3. Everything went well until I tried to connect my Fire to my Windows 7 computer via USB cable. The computer will not connect to the Kindle Fire. When I go to the Device Manager I see the Kindle Fire listed as "Kindle" but I cannot communicate with the device. As per some other suggestions on the web I uninstalled the Kindle driver and tried to let Windows 7 install the correct driver. This has not worked. I tried to uninstall the current driver and use an older driver from Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6 (I originally used version 0.9.8) but this too failed to be reconized and connect. Can anyone help me get my computer to recognize my Kindle Fire so I could transfer files? Thank you all in advance.
