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 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.

I've spent most of today trying to root my Kindle Fire, which I just got in the mail today. I installed Android SKD and have followed multiple instruction guides to the letter, but when I go to root it in KFU, it says it can't find my Kindle. I've scoured the internet looking for a solution to this, but so far nothing seems to work, and every time I try to change the device software in device manager, it says the software is up to date and won't let me change no matter what I do. I'm kind of at a loss and my brain is fried, help would be much appreciated.

FIRST OFF STOP USING KFU UNLESS YOU ARE SURE IT'S A KF1 WHICH YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE RECIEVED TODAY.
1) was the box black or brown
(black)=kf2
(brown)=kf1
uninstall the drivers from device manager, unplug kindle, install drivers from kfu, plug in kindle, profit
Oh, um, it's a KF2. Is there a different program I should use then?
Okay, I'm pretty new to all of this, so I'm having trouble following some directions. I installed ABD drivers and uninstalled all pre-existing Kindle Fire drivers, but I don't know how to install the Kindle specifically with those drivers? When I plug it in it just installs itself with no prompting from me so I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
I'm on WIndows 8, by the way.
Not trying to be difficult but I suggest you keep reading until it becomes more clear.
ESPECIALLY if you are "new to all this".. just try to read as much as you can in all of the KF2 threads.
PS. It sounds like the drivers are installed.. either check device manager or test with "adb devices"
Edit: also- you may find some help in this thread:

I don't have windows 8, but you may have to turn off driver signature verification.
I've already turned off signed drivers. And ADB is enabled on my Kindle, if that matters.
I uninstalled the Kindle drivers with the Kindle unplugged, then installed the KFU drivers, then plugged in my Kindle. It says it's using the MPT USB driver. I tried to update the driver software, clicked "browse my computer for driver software," clicked "browse," found the folder containing the .inf file. It said my software is up to date. I tried again, hit "have drive" instead, found the .inf file, it said the folder I specified doesn't contain a compatible file (even though I selected a file, not a folder??)
I ran KFU, tried to root it, it said fastboot uses a different device than ADB.
I don't know where to go from here, this is where I've been stuck for like an entire day. I've looked for ways to change the driver and I can't find anything that works.

What software version do you have?
I'm thinking you will have 10.2.6, which would make it a Kindle Fire 2.
If it is a KF2, I think you would be best following this guide.

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?
Thanks in advance and thank you for the work you do for us idiots.

The one that ichigo said is good.
So I was using the new KFU 9.8+ on my first gen kindle (6.3.2)
and during the procedure while I think it was attempting to install FFF bootloader it was on <waiting for device>, my laptop lost batter life and shut down. Upon booting up my computer and trying KFU again
ADB Status: Offline
Boot Status: Unknown
My kindle now displays the logo. I assume it's bricked right now.
Are there any remedies to fix this?

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 guys!
It's been a while that I've been seeing people having problems to enable USB debugging and setting up the Android SDK to recognize the device. So,I've made a guide to help you enable USB debugging and set up the Android SDK accordingly. So let's begin!
What you'll need:
Windows/Linux/Mac OS X with the Android SDK installed
A Fire Phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Setting up Android SDK and drivers:
At first,make sure you have the Android SDK installed,adb and fastboot working.
Open the SDK manager
Click on "Tools" and then click on "Manage add-on sites"
Click on the "User Defined Sites" tab,click "Add" and paste this URL:https://s3.amazonaws.com/android-sdk-manager/redist/addon.xml
Click "Ok". Wait for it to finish. Then,from the repo of Android 4.2.2(API Level 17),select Fire Phone SDK and install it.
Remove any Fire Phone drivers using device manager
Go to the directory of the SDK and find this:
Code:
/add-ons/addon-fire_phone_sdk_addon-amazon-17/tools/KindleDrivers.exe
Run the driver setup and connect the phone having USB debugging enabled. If you don't know how to do this,it's explained below.
Done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Enabling USB debugging:
Go to Settings
Scroll to the Device section and expand the section.
Tap Get info about your Fire.
Tap any item at least 7 times in 5 seconds
Developer options will appear. Set it to On.
Go to developer options and enable USB debugging.
Done!

If you're using Windows here's how I did it on Windows 7. Once you open ADB and reboot it into recovery mode remove it from Device Manager. Reboot you PC if asked. Never unplug or remove your phone through any of this. You may need to remove it a second time from Device Manager after a reboot. It'll eventually show up under Other Devices with the Model Number as the device name (at least mine did). Once it's there then go and update the driver. Tell Windows you want to pick from a list of all the devices. Scroll down until you see Amazon listed on the left side. You'll then see "Android Composite ADB Interface" listed on the right. Choose that. Then it should be recognized again and you can sideload to roll back. Once you roll back you'll probably get a lot of errors but it will work and it will root using the towelroot APK that's posted in the other forum here. I had to have my phone services so I had to do a factory reset on my phone because it broke my phone services. But the roll back process itself was very easy to do once I figured out how to get it recognized again while in recovery mode.
I did what the directions say, but I don't see the fire phone listed in the sdk.

Step 6.
In windows device manger, remove all the fire phone devices listed.
Then run the KindleDivers.exe listed in step 7.
When you plug the phone back in windows "should" find and use the right drivers.
Thank you
