I have had my Kindle Fire for a week after bought from a friend, it had been installed CM10 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778010.
When i try to play some HD game with my KF, i try to install Chainfire 3D, after i install CF3D Driver (part of Chainfire 3D), my KF reboot then stuck at Kindle Fire welcome screen (white - orange kindle fire logo).
OMG, this my first times I’m using an android device, I try to plug the Kindle into the USB port on my Laptop (Windows 7) by Blackberry phone cable, it will only recognize the device in My Computer as a regular disk drive. An entry for "Removable Disk G:\" drive comes up, but when I click to open it, it says, "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (G:\)". I copied a video to KF before it stuck.
After read a lot of threads, i know what i need to do is try to make my PC recognize KF device. I’ve tried install driver from KFU folder, Kindle Fire USB Driver and Google USB Driver from SDK Manager, rebooting the KF, unplugging/plugging it in each USB port, power off before plugging, rebooting the PC, etc.
I try to make a factory cable, nothing better (I think it just be useful if the PC can recognize KF device).
At Device Manager I have “Amazon File-CD Gadget USB Device” (when using factory cable, it will have “Unknown device” instead of “Amazon File-CD Gadget USB Device”). List of devices (Device Manager window) don’t have Kindle or Android Phone (when I try to add Android ADB Interface, Android Bootloader Interface, Android Composite ADB Interface by legacy hardware it have a yellow exclamation point)
At Devices and Printers, the properties of the Amazon Kindle Fire's hardware, it just list: Amazon File-CD Gadget USB Device and USB Mass Storage Device (don’t have Kindle, USB Composite Device as some Guide website).
Does anyone have any idea? I don’t think KF device can be bricked easily by install a driver that not compatible with ROM!

Hi guy,
I got this problem. When I plug my Kindle Fire into the laptop with the cable, of course I switched to USB debugging already, there is Android ADB Interface in my device management. However, when I start cmd and type adb devices --> there's no devices attached to my computers.
I re-plugged my Kindle Fire with the cable and click on turn on USB storage on the screen of KF, but it's still the same. There's no devices attached
I tried to re-run the install_drivers.bat (from KFU) but it has no results. It's still the same.
I think I have nothing wrong with the driver installation. It's kinda fine and I still can copy data in and out. However, I still tried to re-run the install_drivers in KFU and this is what I have (I rejected my Kindle Fire before re-running as your tutorial)

I tried to use some commands and this is the result

I dunno what to do right now to install a new ROM when it's not connected. Previously, everything was fine.
What can I do now? I need to install a new custom ROM.
Also make sure your not using a 3.0 USB port they have fast boot communication issues but likely you need to uninstall you driver then plug your kindle in and let them reinstall
I tried to uninstall it and plug it to computer to reinstall it manually. However, when I plugged it to computer, it automatically receives the driver that I had just uninstalled.
I tried to make an overlapping driver, hence I continued to reinstall manually but it is said that it is working properly.
For your further information.
1. Whenever I plug in my Kindle Fire, this is the notification that I have. I think this is an error

2. This is an overlook at my Kindle Fire driver on my computer when I plug it in and set up the debugging

The driver shown in your picture is the fastboot driver. Generally indicating your device in fastboot mode for kfu it needs to read android composite adb interface . So if your device is in normal bootmode then this driver is incorrect.
Yep! I have the same thought with you. I think there is a problem with my driver. But what am I supposed to do right now?
I did uninstall and re-install driver, both manually and automatically. ( Is there anything that I can try now?
P/S: I still can copy data between computer and Kindle Fire. So I don't know what the hell is going with my driver
Here is an excellent tutorial post #2 on drivers maybe it will be of some help to you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
I did follow this tutorial, as the first step to start my Kindle Fire. I think I would try it again.
I would love to have your teamview. Thank you so much

I got the Kindle Fire Ftility 0.9.9 and ran the install_drivers.bat and then plugged in my kindle fire. This is where I encountered my first problem. I had already rooted and installed cyanogenmod 10, so Windows was seeing the Kindle in device manager as a portable device. Go into your kindle go to settings > about tablet > and click on build number until it unlocks developer mode. Then under settings go into developer settings and enable usb debugging mode. Next, click on settings > storage > and the settings box in the upper right hand corner and click usb settings. Uncheck the Media Device MTP. Now when you connect the kindle it will show up as an ADB composite device and will not be listed under portable devices. Now when you run run.bat it should say adb online, you might see boot status unkown. If you see boot status unknown power on your kindle slide the thing and it should be asking you to verify an rsa key. Click ok on your kindle. Now when you press the number for refresh status in Kindle Fire Utility you will see it online, and the bootmode should say 4000.
Now to the second problem. I've got the kindle fire utility running adb is running boot mode 4000 everything looks good. I press 2 in Kindle Fire Utility to do all of its magic it reboots in fast mode and then it locks up. No matter what I did I could not get it to work. After booting in fast mode it sees the kindle fire as an unknown usb device and updating the driver and leading it to the .inf file included with the kindle fire utility would not work, giving me the error message that it is an incompatible driver. I was reading about not trying this with USB 3.0 ports and sure enough this stuck on fastboot mode did not happen when I brought my kindle into my bedroom computer with USB 2.0 ports and ran the same kindle fire utility 0.9.9 and pressed 2 to let it do all its magic and it rebooted the kindle into fastboot and then windows detected it and it all worked perfectly. I've got the new twrp and kitkat cyanogenmod 11 running fine.
Debug mode, and USB 2.0 ports. (Windows not detecting the kindle after going into fastboot mode was particularly frustrating. On the USB 2.0 computer it just worked as easily as I think it should have in the first place.)
When you've got KFU running and you press 2 in its options and get your kindle totally rooted, don't forget to go back into your kindle settings > storage > and click on that box in the upper right hand corner and usb settings, and turn back on your MTP... so windows will see your kindle next time you wanna copy something to it.
Hi all,
I've got a Kindle Fire, which was rooted quite a while ago. More recently, I had the 5 second bootloop, so I took the kindle apart and charged the battery directly by cutting apart a micro usb cable. This worked and now the device powers on, but is stuck on the logo. I previously had all my drivers set up for kindle, and ADB was working properly, but now it shows up as an unknown device. I have tried reinstalling my entire Android SDK, with Amazon's repositroy added, and have uninstalled the drivers on the Kindle, so that only the Amazon ADB drivers remain. Still, I am unable to connect with ADB, and the device still shows up as "Unknown Device" and fails to be noticed by Windows7, or ADB.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thanks!
P.S. I've tried the KFU.

install drivers that are included with KFU
then
In Device manager>select unknown device>Update driver software>
browse my computer for driver software>Let me pick from a list of Device Drivers on my computer>
show all(uncheck show only compatible)>look for ADB interface or android phone
select yes to Ignore warning
may need to reboot both.

+1 to above response. Tell windows to look for similar installed drivers and choose the ADB interface drivers.
Thank for the quick response. I tried what you told me, and I notcied that when I plugged the Kindle in, and listing of "Android phone" popped up in device manager. It then immediately disappeared. After a little dinking around with the cable, I found that the micro usb port on my Kindle in loose on the inside. It wasn't making a proper connection. So I'm charging it right now with the cable slightly angled in the device. Thank you for the help anyways!
Any ideas what I could do to fix the loose port? Solder?
soldering should fix it, several YouTube videos on it.

Kindle Fire 1st Generation Shows as "Linux File-CD Gadget USB Device" Win8.1
Hello,
Long time ago in a Galaxy Far away I installed TWRP 2.6.3.1 and FFF. I decided it was time to update to a newer ROM, so went ahead and wiped just about the whole system. Now I can go into TWRP and mount the SDCard, however, I cannot copy files to it as it is not recognized in Windows 8.1 and never appears as a drive.
Under "Computer Management / Device Manager" it keeps showing as "Linux File-CD Gadget USB Device".
I removed the driver a few times, I reinstalled the KF drivers from the "Kindle Fire Utility v0.0.9.zip" and other sources multiple times and no luck, cannot get the mount to show in windows to copy new Custom ROM and Gapps.
A few internet searches also did not show any promising procedures.
Any help or links to a site with same issue?
Must to woken inspired today...
I tried a push from PC instead using the "adb push" command and it worked.
I guess the driver must be the correct one, still cannot mount and show the contents, but at least I was able to push a ROM and Gapps, so I got an OS on it already.
