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,

Here`s my suggestion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882565
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.

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.

Hi - I work at bestbuy, and when we threw the 1st gen fire demo away, I snagged it.
It's in demo mode, and I've been working for the better part of the evening trying to root it. I've got the drivers installed for the KFU, and it shows up in device manager as Android ADB Interface. In KFU 0.9.6 it shows the ADB Status as Offline if I double click the KFU, or if I open KFU with Admin privileges it shows Online.
Both ways, the Boot Status is unknown. I've tried two computers, and I've scanned all of the forums that turn up results for "Boot Status Offline" on xda. Does anyone have any suggestions? Other people claim to have resolved this.
For what it's worth, the kindle keeps getting a message that says "The Application Status Bar (process com.android.systemui) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." when it is plugged into the computer, but not when it is operating independent of a computer.
Thanks in advance.

You need your drivers to read " Android Composite ADB Interface". rerun the driver bat without the device plugged in, then plug it in see if that changes your driver to read correct. As well did you attempt to root it in this state? Might not be a bad idea to do a simple factory reset before proceeding to see if that doesn`t get rid of the UI error.

Thanks - It now says "Android Composite ADB Interface" but I get the same results. Still unknown.
EDIT: I did select "2" on KFU in the process of trying to get this to work.
EDIT 2: Evidently I'm not reading everything you've written at once - sorry! Since it is in demo mode, I do not have access to the factory reset.

I was able to root a demo unit by loading twrp onto it then deleting all caches and systems then used it to force mount SD card then loaded undate zip in to card and rebooted into twrp and used restore function this gave me a full function of then I use kfu to root it and add Google apps. Hope this works for you. To get it online reboot it while it is plugged in this worked for me
I helped him through twrp and fff install all he needs to do now is mount sdcard in twrp and transfer modaco to his sdcard, do a full wipe except the external storage and flash modaco, then he will be good to go.

I wonder if it'd be a good idea to have a backup of the demo rom here on XDA.
There are many things that do not function on the demo. The system UI is null I can't really think of any uses for it.

I installed the driver provided with the KFU before I ever hooked it up to the PC. Started the utility but it says ADB status offline and boot status unknown. So I checked out some youtube videos and I noticed everybody's kindle in device manager shows up as ADB Composite Device or something similar. Mine just shows up as Kindle. I for the life of me can't get it to change after many tutorials on how to. No matter what, even after uninstalling, it automatically goes to Portable Device Kindle. Can somebody help me please? I know somebody will just point me to a different thread but if you could, just let me know what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it. Thanks.
Is it a first gen. Kindle? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923010 and second post here goes into driver specifics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547 .
Yes it's a first gen Kindle that I just bought and I installed the exe that was included in the KFU.
Just followed that guide through and it did nothing. The one thing it says though is that if the driver doesn't install correctly, uninstall the driver and check the delete software option. I'm not getting that option at all. Still doesn't show up as android phone or adb composite device. One thing I did though, is run it as an administrator and that at least got ADB to say online. Boot status is still unknown though.

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.

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:

*Takes a deeeeep breath* okay, I thought it looked like the most promising instructions I've found so far too... so, from a TOTAL novice at all of this, here goes! Thanks for the endorsement ( I will definately thank him too! )
So, I went through all the steps outlined by xarenmi, but it STILL doesn't recognize my kindle when I try to use the run tool.
I'm not the best with all this, so...
Help...
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.
