Hi,
I've tried to root my Kindle and ran into some problems.
I installed the drivers and they seemed to work fine but I couldn't establish the ADB.
when I go to the CMD and type in there "adb devices" I get this:
C:\Users\Nikita>adb devices
'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
the driver seems to be just fine and the Kindle is connected to the computer so I just can't figure out the problem.
the driver is:
Android Composite ADB Interface
Thanks for the help.

You didnt even open adb. You just went to a random place and typed adb devices.

What do you mean by that? I thought that installing the ADB drivers is the only thing I need to do..what else?

Hello, guys,
I recently rooted my Fire (6.2.2) with Kindle Fire Utility (0.9.3). Kindle is working but my PC (Win7 32) can't recognize it when i'm connecting kindle to PC. And Kindle Fire Utility can't connect to device since then (statusffline).
Maybe I forgotten to switch to normal mode?
How can I fix this?
Thanks.

With your Kindle plugged in and with KFU (even if it says it is offline), press 1 for Bootmode Menu and select Normal.

I tried to do this. Got the message "kindle told to reload in normal mode". Kindle reloaded but the problem left.
Sounds like you may have to reload your drivers. Is the computer recognizing the Kindle at all. I had the problem when trying to load files to the SD card that it would not show up as a storage device. I unchecked USB debugging and it showed up. If you are trying to establish an ADB connection you may want to check your ADB setup.
Try cd C:\kindleadb
adb devices
This will tell you if your ADB connection is working.
Maybe this video will help.

Gives empty output. I'm using adb bundled with Kindle Fire Utility
The same thing happened to me and I just deleted all the files that were associated with the ADB and KFU and reloaded everything. Before you do that you can go into device manager and pull up the properties for unknown device(kindle) go into update drivers and point to the file you downloaded when installing KFU.
I used this video to root mine and the part on installing the drivers works. Make sure you download the driver files attached to the video. Look under "show more" --Links in the video description.
Hope this is helping and not making you more confused.

The problem solved. It was Windows drivers problem. I've got a USB-stick in another slot during all operations. When I removed it everything worked normally. My motherboard is Asus P5G41T-M.
Thanks to everybody who tried to help.

I have attempted several different fixes to get my rooted KF recognized by PCs running VISTA and XP to no avail. My KF is looping TWRP v2.0.0, so I have concluded. Yet if not PC can recognize it as a device...well, please give me your thoughts and suggestions.
Thx,

I'm currently trying to root my kindle with 6.2.2 with my windows XP Computer.
I've downloaded the most recent KFU and the 2 other files listed in the KFU post
KFU is currently located at c:\KFU
When I run the instal drivers.bat file It yells at me and tells me that the Google driver is unsigned. No problem, Plugged in the kindle and when the "install drivers" box came up I selected the C:\KFU\Drivers folder
Everything installed fine, When plugged in I get the USB Storage under USB devices and Anroid ADB Device under phones
when I run KFU it shows that ADB is offline
I've tried with the Mass storage stopped, still shows ADB offline.
Does anyone have experience getting KFU to work in XP?
Should I give up on the simple utility and do it from the CMD line with ADB? (I just feel safer having a script run becuase it gives less chance for error / skipped steps)
I've also tried on my mac, but sadly my older mac doesn't support KindleWater or ADB for that matter
PS as a background I have rooted 2 phones in the past and Custom ROM"d 1 of them.
Hey I'm a brand new member so I apologize in advance if my problem has been solved already, however, I could not find anything on any of the threads. Okay so I am severely confused right now. I have had my Kindle Fire for almost a year now and this problem has never occurred. Ever since I got my Kindle I have been experimenting on it. I rooted it and have flashed many different custom roms. I had been using TWRP Recovery 2.0 for a long time and when I found out that it was outdated I updated it to the new 2.2.1.1 version...Everything seemed to be working perfectly until I tried mounting USB storage in the new TWRP...It did not work. My computer wouldn't recognize it. I kind of just let this slide since I figured I wouldn't need to mount USB storage in TWRP unless it was an emergency. A while later I switched back to the Kindle's stock rom. That's when I noticed that it would not mount...Not only was TWRP not mounting, but it was my Kindle altogether. I deleted all drivers that had any thing to do with Android from my computer. After restarting both my computer and my Kindle I tried mounting again...Nothing. The drivers weren't even reinstalling. To test wether this was a problem with my computer or my Kindle I got my brother's Kindle Fire (Never had any tweaking done to it) and mounted USB storage. It installed the drivers and mounted just fine. I then plugged my Kindle back in and it mounted just fine also. I thought I had solved the issue, but about an hour later I tried mounting my Kindle again and nothing happened. My brother's Kindle will mount (Actually there are a total of four Kindles in my house all of which have not been tweaked except for mine) but mine won't do anything. As a last resort I deleted EVERYTHING with TWRP and flashed the Kindle Fire 6.3.1 update.zip. My Kindle is now true factory default (no root, custom recovery, etc...). I thougt for sure this would work but IT STILL WON'T MOUNT USB STORAGE!!! When I plug my Kindle in and go to "Devices and Printers" it recognizes my device as a "Kindle" but I just cannot get it to mount! I am now stuck with a Kindle that cannot be re-rooted or anything due to the fact that it cannot be recognized with ADB. Sorry for the long post...I am just trying to give as much information as possible. By the way I am running Windows 7 and my Kindle is the only one that will not mount which makes this problem have nothing to do with drivers or my computer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Wheww okay well try a factory reset this will wipe your sdcard as well. It should resolve most your problems. There are multiple things that can cause this to happen but one thing that really comes to mind. Are you ejecting your kindle before hitting the disconnect button? Just a wild guess but failing to do so can cause this disorder the very next time you plug it in. Something that could resolve minor sdcard issues is
Code:
fastboot oem format
don't let this make you to crazy yet RC soupmagnet should be releasing something very soon that will solve the majority of SD card mount problems hint hint . You will need to reroot and flash a custom ROM on it to have success though. So if nothing works hang tight and stay tuned.
This might help

Thepooch, no I had not been ejecting it before disconnecting. I'll do that from now on. Also commands do not work because my computer doesn't recognize my Kindle as either a storage device or an ADB device, and what does it mean what it says "fastboot not found"? I made sure I have the fastboot.exe in my ADB folder...Soupmagnet, I can't get those commands to work since I'm no longer rooted and my computer doesn't recognize me...

Yeah I downloaded the newest Kindle Fire Utility and installed thoose drivers. When I plug my Kindle in and go to "Device Manager" it lists it as an android phone with ADB Interface. If I plug any other Kindle in then it installs new drivers and doesn't list the ADB Interface. Is this normal?

I don't use Windows so I couldn't tell what's normal for that OS.
Use the tutorial here to confirm your drivers are installed properly. Then Shift + right-click on your KFU "tools" folder with adb.exe and fastboot.exe, and select "Open command window here". Enter your adb or fastboot commands there and see how it goes. Start with "adb devices" to see if you are connected. If not, reinstall your drivers and try again.
Some ROMs have different product IDs than the stock OS so you may want to look into that if you are using a custom ROM, and edit your androidwinusb.inf accordingly. I know some JB roms have a PID of 0004 instead of 0006.
If for some reason Windows refuses to cooperate, you could always set up a Linux LiveUSB and get it done a lot easier.
Okay so I've been fiddling around with stuff. I completely uninstalled all Android drivers again then restarted my PC and Kindle. This time I plugged my Kindle in and it installed the correct drivers. It mounted USB just fine. When I tried reinstalling the ADB drivers that came with Kindle Fire Utility it erased the Kindle's normal drivers, so now it won't mount anymore...at least I know that it is a driver problem and that my Kindle doesn't need to be repartitioned. I'm really getting sick of Windows and its annoying drivers...Any ideas on how to get all the drivers to work? If not I think I might just install Ubuntu and screw the need for drivers.

If you run the driver bat packaged with kfu with the device plugged in sometimes it will waste the mass storage drivers. It`s always best to run it then plug the device in and see what windows decides to install. Unplug, replug, unplug, replug as well as try this while in recovery because it will also attempt to install the drivers as well in recovery.

I downloaded the lates kindle fire utility and I enabled debugging, I can see my files but when I run the utility file the adb says offline. I cannot figure it out. : (
I have got the drivers installed it shows properly. Gotten to the point of opening adb shell and pulling my device I'd and no device is found. My ini file shows the right I'd. I habe spent 3 hours going through google and pulling info and trying this and that and still no device is found. When I try to pull the device list it states list showing with no device under it in adb shell. Any ideas would be helpful running wimdows 8 64 bit. Adb is listed under device manager all seems well

You probably will be ask to move this thread to Q&A,Help &Troubleshooting section. The thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244094 should have your answer. I think you don't have the driver setup properly. Did you enabled usb debugging on your kindle? If so it should work, I don't remember the stock process but when you connect to the pc, my CM10.1 kindle will ask to allow usb debugging and when I press ok, adb will recognize the device on the pc.

Do you have the Android SDK installed?
If yes, is it the latest version?
If yes, open the CMD prompt in C:\Android\system\bin or replace "C:" with whatever drive you installed it on & run it from there, where adb resides. It is probably a PATH issue.
I don't see any other threads, so is it just me struggling to install working ADB drivers?
The zip file I found in another thread made out like it was installed, but apparently not...
Any tips?
Windows 7/8? The drivers that I posted in the dev thread should work.
If you're on Windows 8 though, you'll have to reboot in that insecure driver installation mode thing.

Win 7 64 bit. I think I'm using the right ones, don't quite understand why it can't be seen
It shows up in Device Manager in which ever of the 3 ones I try, but when I try 'adb devices' nothing shows.

You try "ADB Composite Device" or something along those lines? When you run that one it should be good.
When you download the zip, you should just extract the whole thing. Then after that I find the driver manually instead of having it search the folders. Are you selecting the android_winusb.inf for the driver?
I'm on the same OS for my main desktop and I do a lot of my work with the N1 on there using those drivers. Are you using normal command prompt in the platform-tools folder? I don't use anything other than command prompt for adb, so I'm not sure about those picking it up.
Sorry if that isn't any help, but I'm not sure what would stop it from picking it up after you use those drivers.
the other threads zip file works fine with my win 64. Are you going through a usb hub? That can mess it up

No, no hub. Yep, doing all as I should. I'll try a different cable and different port though.

ADB not working on Ubuntu 13.10. No issue with fastboot. When I do ADB devices, it doesn't return anything at all aside from "List of devices attached" with a blank space underneath.
Curiously, even after enabling USB debugging I am never given the RSA popup asking me to confirm access. I'm guessing the two are related but even after revoking previous confirmations via the Developer Menu, I still can't get it to pop up.

I recently got this going on Ubuntu 12 on VIrtualBox.
I have to start the adb server as root to get it working, i.e sudo adb start-server,
before I do 'adb devices'.
Also if you use VIrtualBox don't forget to add the usb filter for adb mode too.
