I don't want to bother you with stupid threads and things like that, but I've used the search function on XDA and I'm still lost on this really small problem - my Kindle Fire is not being recognized anymore in ADB.
See, a long time ago (few weeks) I rooted my KF and installed Android Market, whatever. Never installed a recovery or custom ROM. Everything was ok until I tried to install TWRP using Kindle Fire Utility.
While trying to install, I got the famous "adbd cannot run as root in production builds". So I thought it was something with my drivers. Ok, then I installed the drivers that come with KFU - just to screw with everything. My Kindle Fire stopped being recognized by ADB.
I tried: (1) uninstall the drivers and install from KFU again. (2) uninstall the drivers and install the drivers I got from the video-tutorial (the famous one). (3) factory reset the kindle fire and do all the drivers install again. (4) hold the power button 900 seconds to reset the kindle fire and install the drivers again. (5) finally install the drivers on ANOTHER computer (running WinXP instead of Win7) and plug my factory reseted KF.
I gave up.
I don't know why my Kindle Fire isn't recognized by ADB on any computer at all. I thought it was my laptop, but then I tried the same steps I did at the first time using a Windows XP and no good. I don't know.
Can someone help me? Thanks a lot.
i think xp is the better decision for such things
you can try:
power down and disconnect kf
remove any old drivers: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us
remove anything with adb or kindle or unknown device
replug kf without powering it on (does it by itself)
install new drivers:
-choose browse my computer for driver software
-Then select have disk
-Then select browse
-direct to where you downloaded the usb driver
-Select ok and ok
or you can try this solution:

Tried that and didn't work.
I'm going to wait a little more before using Linux, I really wanted to do this using Windows only.
in what status is your kf now ?
normally booting ? - stuck at whatever ?
at xp now ?
checked the adb_usb.ini in your .android folder (in your personal folder) ? - should include 0x1949 and if you like 0x18D1 (i included it too)
to run kfu with 6.2.2 you need the patched version:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458841
would put it to something like c:\kfu cause it don't like spaces in pathname
try running install_drivers.bat from kfu

Right now my KF is normally booting into stock ROM and stock everything.
I have both computers at my disposal: Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit. I'm writing in my laptop which is the Win7.
My adb_usb.ini has only 0x1949, I'll add 0x18D1 in another line (or should I use a blank space to separe them?).
Unfortunately I can't see the link you posted because XDA says I don't have privilegies to do so. My stock ROM is 6.2.2, but I think it as always been like that, and it worked using the normal way before. Can you mirror the post on your link somewhere else? I'd love to try the patched version.
Thanks for your support.

xp will be the better choice cause you don't have to hassle with 32/64 bit drivers and the uac (user access control)

seems that the patched version (the whole thread) is deleted - you will have to do it by yourself - take the original from the dev section and:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454913
The issue persists. I've seen that other people are having the same issue. The device got "unrooted" by unknown reasons and then it's invisible to any adb. As I'm writing to you right now, I'm trying the adb on my brother's Ubuntu. I've tried other solutions using linux but without success.
I'm running out of options here.
I'll admit that I haven't tested the last link you sent, but I can't see how that can change the way adb works on my device. Anyway I'll try that tomorrow.
in the meantime br3 is out - if you use kfu you will have to use an updated run.bat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21749205&postcount=792
but you'r right - that will not change the communication
firekit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430038
is worth a try cause linux don't use drivers to communicate
only needs some entries which are included in firekit
maybe try an other cable ?
really running out of ideas at this point ...
I got the same problem.
If you can fix it, please show me how, thank you.

Just a quick idea. Have you tried the attach the kindle to a different USB port? I had the same issue until I used a different port. The front ports on my desktop are totally fubar, but the port where my mouse was worked when 4 out of 6 ports did not. This for me is probably a hardware problem, but it may help someone.

Similar problem with cm9, and fixed
I was using cm7 and all was well. I installed cm9 (the cm9_02_02 ROM) which supposedly had issues with SD card mounting and adb not working. (The SD problem is a regression which is fixed thusly.)
Initially, I got the "ADB server didn't ACK" message (I had recently updated the android sdk). To fix this, cd to the tools directory and
./android update usb
./android update adb
Then the server would start but wouldn't list the KF with "adb devices" command. I realized the second command had re-written the ~/adb_usb.ini. I added "0x1949" as the last line and bingo. adb does work on cm9_02_02.
YMMV, and this is on a Mac.
Push push push it
tried all the steps. and still nothing. dont know what im doing wrong. starting to get pissed. any help would be great, thanks

Bricked?
I think I'm having the same problem, or at least a very similar one.
Using windows XP. I got the drivers working, plugged my kindle into the Kindle Fire Utility, and ran option 2, which seemed like it was the option to create a backup in case you bricked your kindle. It ran, showed up on the Kindle screen, and did it's thing without a problem.
Then, when the kindle rebooted, I got the yellow-triangle-fire symbol. It says 'press power button for recovery', but pressing the power button does nothing. Holding it down for a long time shuts the kindle down, but pressing it again brings it right back to the yellow-triangle-fire symbol.
So I uninstalled the drivers from Windows XP (as another thread mentioned). I now have two ways that I can think of to install the drivers. Using the KFU, I get the "unsigned drivers" shutdown even after I went into the Driver Signing menu and chose "ignore and install regardless".
The other option I have is to install the drivers that I downloaded manually -- the same ones that worked in the first place. Problem with that is that I go through the entire process, selecting the directory the drivers are in and whatnot, and the only thing that happens is I get an error that says "These drivers aren't the drivers for your hardware" or something similar to that.
So neither of my options allow me to actually install drivers for my Kindle Fire, and my Fire itself is in a recovery loop. All of the tools that are supposed to address the recovery loop require drivers, so I seem to be up a creek without a Fire.
Any ideas?
Okay, to enter recovery...When you see the yellow triangle, hold the power button until it turns orange then release. It shouldn't take more than 10-15 seconds. If you still can't get into recovery, reinstall it.
For your drivers...uninstall completely and delete them if you're using Win7. Then reinstall using one of the previous methods.
The power button doesn't do anything when I push it. It stays bright green until the kindle fire shuts down. I'm not sure what "reinstall it" means, sorry, n00biness.
The drivers (winXP as mentioned) I've uninstalled, but I can't reinstall. One option says "unsigned drivers" and the other doesn't recognize the device as a Kindle and thus quits the install with a "this is not an appropriate driver for your device" message.
Thanks for trying, though! I appreciate your time and effort.
Too bad i can't edit the post title. Please bare with me.
My fiancee gave me her Kindle Fire yesterday. She got it as a Christmas gift last year and has only started it once since. When i first took a look in the Device information in Settings it said it was running 6.2.2 Stock. So i went to sleep last night with the sound opinion that i would root it and install CM7 Barebones or something likewise and make it functional.
Waking up this morning, i read the beginners guide and i took a look at the rooting guide for the 6.2.2. I install the Java SDK, Android SDK, Google USB Drivers and i do EVERYTHING step by step as directed by the guide. Finally, at the last step, when i try to get the device recognized using cmd "android devices", it fails to recognize. The installation worked like a charm, exactly like in the guide, besides this last step. So i reboot both the KF and the PC, still not working, and surprise, my Device Settings now shows Stock version 6.3 installed, overnight. Take note, i did not approve something like this.
The KF is only recognized as a Disk Device in the Device Manager in Control Panel. I cannot get it to be recognized as an Android Phone. I tried uninstalling the KF through Device Manager, Devices & Printers, but it always reinstalls the driver from the directories. I edited the .ini files as per the guide, so i have no idea what might be wrong. I even uninstalled the Google USB Drivers from the Android SDK Manager and reinstalled them, and the same result is happening. As a last resort, i did a Factory Reset, deleted the drivers from Device Manager and SDK Manager and reinstalled them, to no avail.
How on earth can i get a CLEAN install of ADB and the recognition of my KF for rooting WITHOUT formatting my entire Windows PC? If i take it to another computer and plug it in and follow the Kindle Fire Utility instructions, do i still need to install the Google USB Driver through the SDK Manager, or just the other stuff?
On a side note, if i ever ever achieve this, what custom ROM runs Google Play Store perfectly?
Thanks.
Just use kfu 0.9.5. If I were u I would do latest update before rooting it. You can get it from amazon and manually update it. That's what I did.

This is normal on Stock, OTA updates without your consent unless you have disabled the setting.

The drivers included with KFU are all you need. If you are to plug it into a different computer, it's suggested that you run the drivers installation on KFU first before plugging in the Kindle Fire.

All I have tried have worked flawlessly, with some exceptions where I just had to flash gapps to fix it.
MAJOR EDIT:
I may have been stupid but something happened. Now i have the Kindle as a Disk Drive and i also have it as a SAMSUNG Android Phone. They both are installed correctly but i STILL CANNOT see the device through cmd "adb devices". It's just a blank line.
Any ideas?
Sorry for the double post but this is worth mentioning separately. I saw in a different post that someone who has Samsung Galaxy SII phones and relative drivers get the Kidnle recognized under Samsung Android Phone. How do i uninstall JUST the Samsung Galaxy SII drivers from my PC? I have a Galaxy SII phone so, figures. Also have Kies installed and Droid Explorer as it runs CM9.
plug in your s2 go to device manager in control panel and you will see the drivers
Read the drivers post I linked you to earlier.
Delete incorrect drivers from the Device Manager and take note of what it should read as.
It may sound a bit too simple, but really, most of the issues come from bad drivers.
Hey Luppertazzi
Just use Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.5 (the latest version).
-> Just keep unplugging, plugging, uninstalling, reinstalling drivers -- and restartting the KFU utility until you can see "Online" as status in KFU.
-> Choose install permanent root with superuser
-> Reboot (power off and on the kindle fire if necessary)
this will automatically install TWRP and superuser and root your kindle fire.
then you can keep using stock ROM by going to extras -> install google framework (where you can use google play with go launcher) or use twrp to backup, restore and flash roms.
Hey guys.
I tried the process on another laptop and it worked. I installed only the basic SDK Tools from the SDK Pack, leaving the development stuff and drivers out of it. Then, i downloaded KFU and used the drivers there as the only installed drivers on the separate PC, and it worked like a charm. I was able to root, install a custom ROM and do every other thing i wanted.
Thing is, on this computer, i can't really get rid of all the drivers and utilities because they keep getting installed back. Should i use something like DriverSweeper or anything of the sorts?
Thanks.
Okay this is what u do. If your kindle is not showing up in device and printers unplug your kindle and power it off. Install drivers from the kfu folder again. After this is completed turn on your device and then plug in your kindle. The kindle should show up as a device on device and printers menu. If your device is showing up click on kindle and then click on hardware. Then click on properties and change setting. There should be a option for update drivers. After clicking on update drivers its going to give you a option to search for drivers. Click browse. Since you have already downloaded the sdk and installed it on your computer install adb composite drivers. It should install the drivers. Now go back to kindle on devices and printers menu and click on kindle. Go back to hardware and check drivers. Under device functions: it should have amazon kindle USB 2. Android composite adb interface 3. E:\ 4. USB composite device 5. USB mass storage device. Now exit all of that stuff. Go back to kfu folder and click run. Make sure the adb status is online and the boot status is 4000. If boot status isn't 4000 then it will not work properly. So what I did was download kfu 0.9.4 and when I clicked on run adb status was online and boot status was 4000. If you do see that, click install permanent root and su (option 2). When this is completed go back to kfu 0.9.5 and adb status should be online and boot status should say 4000. If this is the case go ahead and click 2 again and it should install permanent root and su and twrp. This is what worked for me.

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.
I'm using Win 7, I've edited the adb_usb.ini and put 0x1949 in there...I'm running the latest Kindle Fire Utility.
adb status says offline
boot status says unknown
I'm stumped..
dude...you're a badass!
I didnt get it to work on my son's Windows laptop, so I tried it on VirtualBox under XP and its working right now.
I think its because he already has an Android device installed...even though I uninstalled it, it still recognized the Kindle and didnt take my "update drivers" saying the latest drivers are already installed.
only problem now is that when I run KFU, did perm root and now it just stays in fastboot mode...cant do anything else.
nevermind.. with KFU, I got it to boot. whew!
Solved - the stuck 'ADB status: Offline'
At last - after seaching here for many days with zero success trying to get all sorts of drivers to work - the above did the trick for me using XP on an Acer Aspire One notebook.
Huge thanks.
I am trying to Root my Kindle Fire version 6.3.2, and am looking for the correct Kindle Fire Utility. I do not want to download the wrong one as the ones I have seen were for version 6.3.1 or 6.3. Anyone have suggestions?

Hi...
Thanks for the linky, i grabbed it today and for some reason, it's not detecting my device. I've installed/reinstalled the drivers that came down with v0.9.8, still same results. Shows the driver Android ADB Device
When I run the option 2 to install root & superuser error encountered. We are unable to locate your kindle fire. Fastboot uses a different device than ADB. ck device mgr for Kindle or Amazon (when looking, neither are listed.)
So tried to just boot it to FastBoot and same results, device not found.
So being dummy me, i ran the Run script as admin, now i get the Tools\wget cannot be found. Thought maybe it was a long file name issue, so copied folder to c:\temp\ - still same results.
What am I doing wrong here guys?

The .android folder is found under the root of your sdcard or you ext-sd. To remover the drivers:
If you are on Windows 7/8:
Hit the "Start" button on the keyboard, and when the homescreen (Windows 8) or the Start dialogue (Windows 7) pops up, type in "Add or remove".
Hit enter on the highlighted option, which should be "Add or remove programs". (Note: You may have to go into the settings tab if you are running a search on Windows 8)
This will show you a window where all the apps that are currently installed on your computer shows up. (Metro apps don't show up here.) Look through the list until you find your KF drivers. This should be listed as something like this: Kindle Fire Drivers
Highlight the driver and look towards the top of the window. You should see that a "Change/uninstall" button has popped up. Click on that and follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the drivers.
You're done!
If you are on an older version of Windows:
The procedure is the same, only you have to go into Control Panel > Add or remove programs to do this.
Good luck rooting your KF. :good:

Hey, I finally got the google winusb driver installed (I had to do it via SDK manger) but it still recognizes my kindle as "kindle" under "other devices" in the device manager. Also the KFU will not recognize it.. period. just nothing and I'm getting really fed up.
I have followed all instuctions to the T and I am still having issues.
