-Port 5037 is not bound by any app or process
-ADB, upon failed load, is not listed in Taskmgr, nothing to kill
-Deleted temp files
-Issued at prompt: ADB Disconnect, ADB USB, ADB devices: All return same error as above
-Issued at prompt: ADB kill-server, only prompt returns
Read lots of posts on the web, nothing helps.
I am really interested in a solution and would like to understand what is causing the problem. If in fact it is a configuration issue, where is the ADB config file?
Thanks.
Edit: I am running the command prompt as an administrator.

I originally added my post to this thread in the Nook forum. I don't think there is enough expertise in that forum to help with this problem.
The bottom line is that ADB no longer works and I can't figure out why (see quoted text above). I would imagine that someone here would have an answer for this. Please help!
Thanks.
Only thing I would try it open Task Manager and go to processes and close anything that is adb or adb.exe.

In this case, ADB never starts. It does not work even after a fresh reboot. It is not found in Taskmgr nor Process Explorer.

Is what he meant was to kill any process that is using adb. This is not only a process that is Android related etc. My buddy had your exact same problem because he had his external hd connected to his computer before trying to run adb. Restarting and killing processes that were using adb on his computer did the trick. Hope this helps!
My problem was Windows

In my case, the problem was Windows Vista. From day one, Windows refused to successfully install the USB drivers for the EVO (with the very helpful diagnostic message: "Windows encountered an error installing..."). I have never been able to use adb, and this meant that all the rooting (and update/upgrade) guides that required adb had to be adapted to getting the file(s) onto the SD card, and then using Terminal Emulator (or similar app) to get the job done.
I've just completed a disk-wipe-and-reinstall of Windows on my laptop, and hope to find the time next week to install all the SDK goodies and make sure that the USB subsystem recognizes my EVO. I'm fed up with not being able to use adb, and that, along with Windows Update failing to install over a dozen security patches, finally pushed me over the edge into a re-install. Auuugh! The pain!

Interesting, but I haven't been able to find any other service that is bound to adb and I have no other USB devices connected. Thanks for chiming in though.

For me, I have been able to get two Vista and one Windows 7 computer to work with ADB and HTC drivers the first time. I also have an Epic, and the Samsung drivers installed fine as well (even though they are known to have issues).
Unfortunately, ADB just "broke" one day.
I keep thinking that the Evo community has enough brains and knowledge to sort this out quickly...
Have you updated the sdk recently?
The updated sdk moves the adb files from the tools folder to another folder called platform-tools.
I have adb working properly on both my vista machine and my ubuntu machine hosted on my vista machine.
If you have installed htc sync before uninstall it and the htc driver installer.
Redownload htc sync and the adb files (adb.exe and adbwinapi.dll is all you need). Since adb was working correctly before I'm assuming your java is installed correctly as well.
Reinstall htc sync. When that finishes I suggest a reboot. When you've rebooted uninstall htc sync but leave the htc driver installer. Reboot again.
When you've rebooted again enable usb debugging on your device and connect it to your pc choosing charge only.
This should hopefully reinstall the usb drivers correctly. On vista it installs as adb device or something along those lines.
If the drivers install correctly you should be able to run adb from the directory your two files are in (desktop for example).
If you want, send me a pm with your gtalk username and I can help you troubleshoot it.

Thanks for replying. I had already updated ADB (in platform-tools) before started having this problem. I had also uninstalled HTC sync (reboot, launch ADB w/o HTC sync, same problem) and reinstalled HTC sync, same problem. I updated Java JVM, no change. I then re-downloaded the SDK to a different directory, no dice.
I usually open a command prompt "as Administrator" and run ADB from the directory. Even with a device disconnected, I get the same error. I test this way because if I issued "ADB devices" and it returns nothing, I know it's working. It appears that ADB doesn't even start to the point to poll for devices.
I have, just for laughs, connected my device (USB debugging/charge only), but no joy.
I won't have much time to poke around more until the weekend. If I don't come up with anything, I will take you up on the gtalk. Thanks again.
Windows Vista just makes it all that much harder to fix things...

In my case, I tried all these things and many more (lived with this problem since first getting my EVO on release date in June). No dice, as Windows Vista, once it installs a device driver, doesn't give the user the option to uninstall it (by Microsoft's expressly-stated intent -- a design decision I vehemently disagree with). At least the user could repair such problems in prior versions of Windows by simply uninstalling a device, choosing "yes" to the "remove driver files from the disk" question, and (after the obligatory and ubiquitous Windows reboot) re-connect the USB device. That would start fresh with that device's driver.
I never invested the time to learn how the USB subsystem registers devices and their drivers (in Windows Vista) in order to determine how to manually remove a driver from the Windows Registry adequately that it would treat the device as "new hardware detected" upon the next connection.
Once Windows Vista has scrambled some internals in the database/registry controlling the USB subsystem's driver knowledge, you're toast. Nothing I could find in Microsoft's Knowledge Base nor MSDN shed any light on how to tackle the removal-and-recreation-from-scratch of the USB system configuration.
Microsoft's stock answer was invariably "re-install Windows". Yeah, thanks for that. Windows, even more than 26 years later, is still not a real operating system, and still has bugs dating back to Windows 3.1.
Sigh.
Check Windows Firewall service.
In my case I just turned off the Windows Firewall and it started working.

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.

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.

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.
Hi, noob here. Searched but could not find answer...
Running Windows 7 x64. Attaching KF via USB and tapping "disconnect" after it installs it as USB drive.
Trying to root kindle fire for first time using KFU 0.9.5. Put KFU files/folders into new directory called KFU on root of C: drive. Device drivers seem to install ok and device manager indicate "ADB device" (not "kindle").
when i run kfu normally, it cannot find my kindle. (and "ADB Status offline")
when i run kfu as "administrator" ADB Status shows Online but I get "windows cannot find tools\wget", then many "system cannot find the path specified" errors and i get stuck at the "read me" saying "do NOT unplug kindle if we are stuck here..."
(in both of above, KFU shows boot status as "unknown")
Anything else i can try?
TIA

try to follow this steps to steps video from nat3mil.It should be helpful.
But always make sure that you know what you are doing for every single steps you take.even if its a small one.
if not,ask here and wait until you get a reply.
i don't want people to follow my footsteps causing myself trouble.Hope this helps.
And if you patient enough.try to root and flash recovery manually.its safer since you know what you are doing.

They have downloaded the KFU etc and tried to run the install drivers and then the run.bat which starts up the KFU, but after trying to root it the following comes up :

Might it be worthwhile following the ADB advice from here? Is that the issue? And then try again? :
jayceooi how-to-install-kindle-fire-adb-usb-driver
Thanks again.
Could be a few things Generally speaking most issues are driver related make sure it appears under android phone as "Android composite adb interface" if not reinstall the driver. The use of a 3.0 usb port can prevent fastboot and render the device unseen by the computer and stuck in fastboot with no recourse to correct the situation other than creating a live sub with soupkit and or using another pc. Lastly there are cables that do not do fastboot or adb but will charge and transfer data. So check the driver, try another sub port, try another cable, try another pc. Good rule of thumb anyway. Make sure the kindle is first gen. a well.
So trying to figure out the ADB driver issue.
Followed my own link above and part of it says to look under Devices/Printers and the Kindle should show there.
Only thing is, it's showing as a Google Nexus!!!!
Say what????? I'm soooo confused.
Any ideas?
Look in device manager bud. Right click on computer and select manage then select device manager look for Android phone and expand that then check how the driver is stated.
Under Device Manager :
It says the following under Disk Drives -
Amazon File - CD Gadget USB Device.
No Android Phone or any expansion option showing.
Also the following pathway that is referred to doesn't exist :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver folder.
Thanks for your patient help, thePooch.
Is this kindle running system version 6.3.1? As well I sent you a pm unread your private messages.
Thanks mate for the offer.
All sorted now! Changeover of cable and laptop seemed to do the trick.
No idea why, but we're not arguing with a good result!
Cheers.
Very good! I did mention cable in my first post so you can see now it is possible. :highfive:
I'm new to the Kindle Fire flashing scene, and trying to get Jelly Bean on to my stock Kindle Fire. I've spent several hours on it so far, and haven't been able to get past the first step of getting KFU to see my Kindle Fire, so I can root it or do anything else. To be clear, this is a 1st gen Kindle Fire, running 6.3.1. I've never rooted or flashed it before, and it boots and works perfectly.
The main problem I seem to be having is that Device Manager (on my Win7 PC) shows the device as 'Android ADB Device.' It seems the expected description should be 'Android Composite ADB Device' but I can't get it there. Most of the posts and pages I've seen related to having trouble getting KFU to see a Kindle Fire focus on the drivers not being installed at all, which I don't think is my problem. And I've uninstalled/re-installed them at least 1/2 a dozen times with no effect.
The documentation would seem to suggest that seeing 'Android ADB Device' in the Device Manager implies my device is in Fastboot mode. However, when I uninstall the drivers I see 'Kindle' not 'kindle' in my device manager which suggests normal mode according to the 'Windows Device Drivers and the Device Manager' tutorial. This seems consistent with the fact that my device behaves perfectly normally, so I don't think it's actually in FB mode. Further, the FB tool can't see it.
I've tried connecting to the device from the command line using both the ADB (adb devices) and Fastboot (fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product) tools. Neither one seems capable of connecting to the device. I also tried connecting the device on a second PC and there too I got 'Android ADB Device', suggesting the problem is device side. I don't have a factory cable to force FB mode that way.
I suspect I'm missing something obvious, but can't figure out what. Can anyone help me out?
It`s probably something strange I`m pretty good at working it out contact me tomorrow via Pm I would be happy to look at it for you. Check your user/.android folder for adb_usb.ini see if it has 0x1949 in it.
Thanks, the adb_usb.ini has the 0x1949 line in it, so that's not the issue. My %userprofile% directory name has a space in it, which initially caused the install_drivers.bat that comes with KFU to have some issues (because it assumes it doesn't.) But everything is where it should be now. Look for my PM.
Re: [Q] Can't get Stock Kindle Fire to show "Android Composite ADB Interface"
I had to used the drivers in superoneclick 2.3.3.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
This problem is solved he was running kfu from a temp directory.
Actually, I don't think the problem was the location of KFU. Thepooch gave me a new android_winusb.inf to use along with the KF drivers. The new .inf file had additional Kindle Fire entries for USB\VID_1949&PID_0004 and USB\VID_1949&PID_0007 which the original version I got with KFU did not include. If I pull up the Hardware IDs from the details tab of the device in Device Manager, it showed the PID_0007 version. So I suspect the fact that was missing from the inf file was the cause of my issues (and it's inclusion the solution.) I've attached the updated inf file (with added .txt extension) to this reply.
Beyond that, Thepooch did an amazing job helping me through the whole process. Really went above and beyond. Thanks!
