Be sure that in your computer > Device Maanger > Kindle Fire is not marked with yellow triangle. This is the only reason it is not detected by the KFU 0.9.6 . It happened to me as well, but was able to re-root my kindle.

Trying to be as thorough as possible:
I am running a Kindle Fire with software version 6.3.1, which was previously rooted until software update. (Curse you Amazon!)
My computer has Windows 7 64bit
I downloaded adt-bundle-windows-x86_64 and ran SDK Manager.
Ran and closed Eclipse although I am not sure why or what to do with it.
Downloaded/installed:
Android SDK Tools
Android SDK Platform-tools
Android 4.2 and all attendant programs
All of the Extras including Google USB Driver.
Downloaded KFU v0.9.6.
Ran “install drivers” (Also omitted this step after uninstalling in subsequent attempts)
Ran “run.bat.”
In the cmd window that opens I get the KFU menu but under that is listed:
ADB Status: Offline
Boot Status: Unknown
I have also gotten:
ADB Status: Online
Boot Status: Unknown
This happens ad lib whenever it feels like it.
The Kindle never shows anything but the “You can now transfer files, etc” screen.
I have gone from the KFU menu to Bootmode Menu and chosen Normal (4000), as well as, Fastboot. It says “Oops...something went wrong. We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire. Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.” (It was.)
I have restarted both the Kindle Fire and the PC repeatedly. Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. Uninstalled/reinstalled the software that comes with SDK Manager.
Device Manager says under ADB Interface that it is Android Composite ADB Interface. Occasionally, however, I have had it listed further down the list as Kindle with the Yellow Error triangle and I have manually installed the drivers from there.
Note: I have also tried:
KindleFireRootNew631 which didn't work at all for me.
SuperOneClick v2.3.3.0 which tells me alternatively that my device appears to be already rooted, which is most definitely is not, and nothing...just kills ADB server and then starts ADB server and then....nada... Although the Windows circle thingie keeps circling, the task manager says it is “Not Responding”.
I have moved the USB port that I am using, always on one of the Mobo backplate USB's.
Changed cables.
Used a different computer.
Have resisted the urge to factory reset the device and/or break it in half!
If you can still transfer files, move everything you want off to your computer, then factory reset. Then try reinstalling drivers and running kfu

Have you tried using a factory reset cable ??? as they are different than a regular data cable .for my 1st gen kindle fire i used the factory cable that came with my first kindle black and white that used the e- ink without any problems whatsoever .you should be able to browse the forums to find one for sale i'm pretty sure you can also buy one straight from amazon

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.

Hi, I cant root my kindle fire with Kindle fire utilties
every time I try it says
ADB Status: Offline
Boot status: Unknown
I can't find Amazon or Android in my device manager. I also tried my Device management.
I tried downloading the driver over 10 times I restarted my Kindle and Computer and even reset my Kindle.
The USB cord I am using is a universal one, The guy at the store I purchased it from said it is not a "Sync" cable its meant for chargeing only but I am pretty sure all Micro USB's are the same.
Please help me fix this.

I just got a Kindle Fire HD and it won't root either. I am using the cable that came with it. My PC sees it and i installed the drivers. I ran the rootqemu.bat file but it just hangs when it gets to *daemon started successfuly*. It has been sitting there for hours. I have rooted many droids before and it only takes a couple of minutes.
nevermind its your drivers.
Hello,
My friend left me his Kindle Fire yesterday (it's vanilla, because he only watches movies with it), and I've tried rooting the device and complications happen and now my Kindle is stuck at logo. I'd really appreciate it if you can help me fix it. Here's what happened:
- I downloaded the KFU, and followed the instruction on rooting. After installing the drivers and run the utility, the driver shows as online and 4000, and I started rooting.
- The utility downloaded TWRP and FFF, and while installing FFF, the utility is stuck at <waiting for device> (at the same time, Windows gives me an error of Device not recognized). After I unplugged the device, kindle now is stuck at logo. I tried to reinstall the driver through the file in KFU to no avail.
- Open Device Manager, I saw the driver has yellow exclamation. Followed someone's guide on here, I uninstall the driver.
- After I plug the Kindle in again, Windows won't recognize the device and in Device Manager, it shows up as Unknown Device.
- I tried to reinstall the driver through KFU, it installs really fast (I think that means I haven't exactly uninstall the driver, idk), but then the device manager still doesn't recognize Kindle and it still shows Unknown Device.
- I switched to a different computer with KFU driver installed before, it still shows Unknown Device >.<
I tried changing the Bootmode through KFU to normal, but it stuck at <waiting for Device>
EDIT: I started with a different laptop, install a new, clean version of Kindle driver, and then connect the Kindle in again. It still shows Unknown Device.
Help please D:??????
If it says /unknown device/ in your divice manager then your drivers are not installed...Get your drivers installed first.Also try the UNBRICK utility it help me when i first started.

Most of the time (if not all), when I see an "unknown device" error, it is a sign of a corrupt or failing bootloader. So far, there is only one way to fix a bad bootloader (Firekit), but it takes a little work on your part.
Before I get into that just yet, you need to know that on top of that potentially being the problem, you still have to deal with Windows driver issues. So my suggestion to you is, since you may very well have to install Linux or set up a Linux LiveUSB to fix your bootloader problem, you might as well install Soupkit to see if the bootloader is in a usable enough condition to issue fastboot commands. It's unlikely, but you'll at least be able to launch Firekit easily, and without the need to install anything else.
Same problem
I'm having the same issue with my manager's kindle fire (6.3.1). I attempted to root using the instructions provided here . My windows explorer crashed during the process and the kindle has been stuck on the kindle logo since.
I have tried restarting the process with his supplied driver and I can get the kindle to be recognized correctly in the device manager, but the process does not work.
I have also tried the kindle fire unbrick utility found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428428 to no avail (device not found).
I have also tried the kindle fire utility found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889 also to no avail (ADB Status: Offline Boot Status: Unknown).
And last but not least, I have constructed a "factory cable" in an attempt to fix this. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be working either. Even with the factory cable inserted, the device never boots to anything but the kindle fire logo (Drivers installed, plug in, power off, power back on, kindle logo).
I would purchase a pre-made factory cable, but they all ship from China, I'm a cheapskate, and I'm pretty sure mine is configured correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions for trouble shooting this?
I've attached pics of my "factory cable" as well. If something looks amiss. Please let me know.

hey man, im having the same exact issue, did you ever end up getting it resolved
Hi Folks, I'm hopping for some help/guidance here. I have been serching and serching but not found a fix or solution that actual works.
Idealy, I would like to use KFU to root my kindle fire and then load jelly bean 4.2.x. I have tried some other tools to root too but so far no luck.
I mac available (10.7) and win7 64bit box avaiable (they main way I have tried.
Kindle Fire 2nd get running 10.2.6
I have tried to install the KFU drivers a bunch of times, and they seem to install but kindle allays either shows up as kinle (mass storage MTU device) or marked out as kindle other. I can't seem to get it show as the other drivers. If I try and update to them complains that it's a not MTU driver or that I don't have 64bit version (umm I can see it grrr).
KFU shows
ADB status: Online
Boot Status: Unknown
It can direct the kindle to reboot into fast mode but the change never happens after reboot, then hangs waiting for device.
I have updated java, installed android SDK tried other things to no effect... just not sure what I am missing in what seems to be a pretty simple process for so many (I'm not new to unlocking devices or using new roms either).
Thanks for any help!
Superclick was able to root
Superlclick was able to root and set it to be able to use non store apps but still can't get KFU to interact with it right. I'm sure it's me, just not sure what I'm doing wrong .

I never rooted a device before and I have been wanting to access google play on my kindle. Earlier today I discovered KFU. The first thing I did with it was the root option. After a few reboots, KFU said "waiting for device" and nothing else happened. Also my computer no longer recognizes my kindle fire. What should I do?
Important Information:
Yes, I have a first gen kindle fire.
I kept on getting a corrupted KFU zip when I downloaded it. I thought I fixed it when a use a zip fixer tool.
I got the KFU from the guild from this forum.
All the version I download had the same problem when unzipping, corruption.
I am a noob at this since I never done this before, I wan to make this clear, so don't assume much when responding please.
I have eclipse and I have downloaded all the necessary files from the SDK manager and more since I use eclipse for college.
My computer uses windows 8.
I have a windows 7 vm.
I used the KFU on windows 8, I now realized I should have done it on the vm.
Before I tried to root it, I made a backuped all the files located within it.
Almost forgot to mention that it no longer goes past the kindle fire logo when I restart it.
I don't know if this is enough information, so feel free to ask anything.
what do you use to backup your files?
did you try to restore your device using your backup files?

that makes it more difficult, probably because you repaired the KFU zip
try fixing drivers, then try
redownload KFU from the Mega link
connect Kindle
run KFU's run.bat
select install twrp
if nothing happens, may need to power down kindle, and power back on
may need to restart KFU a few times
if that does not work
may need to use fastboot manually see my Fastboot.exe with Windows Command Prompt
did you try to open your kindle by pressing your power button for about 15 - 20 sec.?
for your Kindle Fire Utility problem i think you need to ask that to their thread

You didn't listen to me. My kindle won't connect to the computer any more since it can't finish booting. Meaning I can't install anything on it. The kindle drivers are fine. The kindle is half rooted due to the rooting fail.
Frequently Asked Questions - Amazon Kindle Fire
Q16: What does it mean when my device is stuck at the Kindle Fire logo?
It depends on which Kindle Fire logo you're talking about. If you're talking about the Kindle Fire logo that stays brightly lit without any change in brightness, it means the device is in fastboot mode. Just change the bootmode to normal or recovery and reboot. If you are unable to change the bootmode, then you need to fix your drivers. If the Kindle Fire logo you're talking about flashes and goes dim after being brightly lit for a few seconds, then your device is trying to boot normally to a malfunctioning operating system, likely caused by not wiping the data partition (factory reset) before flashing a ROM. If that's the case, you will likely need a factory cable to get into fastboot mode so you can access or (if needed) install custom recovery, then reinstall a ROM properly.

It's just the normal start up logo. Kindle is in white, and fire is in orange.
I know what I need to do now. I need to get a factory fastboot cable. That will allow me to access my kindle and fix the problems I have. Thank you for trying to help though.
i think its soft bricked your problem MAYBE is bootloop one of the common problem when rooting..
