Hi guys,
Having a bit of trouble with the Kindle Fire Drivers.
First time rooting anything so bear with me.
I downloaded the KFU utility and used the install drivers on that.
When i ran the utility it saiid that ADB status is Offline.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and rebooting. Enabled ADB on the Kindle (STOCK FIRMWARE).
Tried to install manually by selecting "Android Phone" - But i dont get an option for Android Phone.
At the moment my Kindle is listed under " Portable Devices" AND under "Other Devices" (other devices with a yellow exclamation mark next to it).
Any ideas what i can do?
Cheers

Is your kindle 1st gen? System version 6.3.1? If it is it still isnt that uncommon to have issues with driver install. What computer operating system are you using. If your on windows 8 you need to go through selective startup and disable driver signature verification. Windows 7 is about the easiest. Look for samsung adb driver if you had previously installed those before for a samsung device or kies. If you are not system version 6.3.1 you're using the wrong driver and it very likely will not show as android phone even if you're using the correct driver and kfu is useless for rooting you're device. Not to mention dangerous.
Hello! I am new to rooting, and I wanted to root my kindle fire 6.3.1. I have Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6 and when I try to install the drivers (install_drivers.bat) the wizard for windows xp pops up. I click next, but then it says:
Driver Name Status
X Google, Inc. (WinUSB)... Install failed (Unsigned)
The X is red by the way. I don't know how to check the ADB Status either, so please help!
(I have Windows XP)
Try going to your devices and installing the existing drivers for your kindle. Then plug kindle back in and let it install the proper drivers. After run the install_drivers.bat
In the install_drivers.bat that comes with KFU (right click, select edit), there are two lines that say:
Code:
start .\drivers\dpinstXX.exe
(where 'XX' is either 32 or 64)
Find the one for your bit size and change it to say:
Code:
start .\drivers\dpinstXX.exe /lm
That will disable the signature checking and allow you to install the drivers.
Kfu 0.9.5 worked better for me. (Win7)
Hello all and first off I'd like to start of by saying I did search to try and solve this problem but was unsuccessful. I did find one similar post but the person was using a different version of the utility so I made a new thread.
Anyways, I am trying to install TWRP on my Kindle Fire which is running system version 6.3.2 but each time I run the install divers batch file it fails. I uninstalled the default drivers that were showing up in device manager and tried again. I tried beating my head against the wall for 30 minutes and came back tried again and to my shock it still didn't work.
I tried running the batch file as administrator and it says "Windows cannot find '.\drivers\dpinsst64.exe'. Make sure you typed the named correctly, and try again'. I went into the drivers folder and dpinsst64.exe is there.
Here's all the details in a nutshell.
Kindle Fire (System Version 6.3.2)
Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9
Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
So if any of you fine people could help me out I'd be much appreciative, thanks.
You have to disable driver signature enforcement then it will work

Hello XDA forums,
I have had nothing, but problems install TWRP on my Kindle fire version 6.3.2. I have installed the drivers on windows 7 and when i connect my kindle fire. In device manger the kindle fire displays as "Android Phone", at the top showing the drivers are correctly installed. The problem is anytime i run the install.bat file to install TWRP my kindle fire is stuck on the Logo and in the command prompt it just says "<waiting for device>"... The install.bat file will be stuck here until i close out of it. I then i have a unbootable kindle fire which i boot up linux and run the SoupKit application to fix the kindle fire boot mode, so it can boot propertly. Can anyone help me figure out why i can't install TWRP on my kindle fire? I was thinking about doing a factory reset and starting over to see if that works?
Anyone help out?
Update "After trying 3 different computers i finally found success with my desktop running windows 8.1. I had to modify the driver signing feature and disable ti in order for my kindle fire to be recognized in fast boot. I honestly have no idea why the drivers seem to work on windows 8.1 x64 along with recognizing my kindle fire in fast boot. My windows 7 laptop and linux even was having troubles installing TWRP on my kindle fire. The windows 7 laptop was unable to recognized Kindle Fire Utility and my kindle fire wouldn't show up in device manger." I Was luckly after messing with kindle fire and drivers for about 6 hours i finally found one pc to work.
Under windows 10(x64), run the Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe, the windows always prompt the failure of driver installation.
Any suggestion for this problem?
Thanks.
