Hi guys,
Wanted to ask you guys, Is there ANY way i could connect a 3G USB stick to my kindle fire HD
It could be possible with a OTG cable and a ROM that supports OTG, but the actual 3G dongle might require drivers that work on Windows, Mac or Linux, but not on Android. So I couldn't say for sure. I'm not sure if it's been done before either.
I'm an idiot who accidentally dropped my Kindle glass-side down in a parking lot. I went to get it replaced but my brand of Kindle Fire happened to be discontinued and I had to shell out $50 for a Kindle Fire HD. My old Kindle had already been rooted so I knew finding a way to root an HD would be a pain. He's the thing, for a while my Kindle would connect like a media device to my Windows 7 PC but now for some reason the thing doesn't crop up at all. What is wrong with my brand new Kindle Fire HD and why can't I do something as simple as connect it to my PC via usb?
Nothing wrong really. At least I guess so. Same thing happened to my friend with Windows 7 Acer laptop and brand new perfectly working Kindle Fire 2nd gen. It was some weird problem with his Windows's drivers. I connected his kindle to my laptop where the drivers were ok, rooted it, installed recovery and android and after that the kindle started working with the PC once again-most probably that happened because according to the PC the android and the kindle are different devices or maybe it was because they use different drivers(but I highly doubt this). Either case this is a fix. Another one would be to reinstall your PC. There may be another fix that will make the drivers working once again but we tried many suggestions in the net and none worked. Hope I helped
Does your kindle actually show up in the device manager?
Sorry I didn't respond faster. It turned out to be faulty drivers. Now the problem is that the Kindle is refusing to root. I keep getting "Permission Denied" when I try to execute the root. The Kindle Fire HD has really annoying software and I can't do anything I want to do. Amazon can seriously suck my grapes! (And all the grapes in my house are rotten)

Your grapes are rotten? You should probably have that checked out.
What are you using to root your device?

A method I found on YouTube. It worked until the final part when I got constant permission denial messages.
I'd link you to it but I'm a new user and am not allowed to. But I can tell you it's the first result on YouTube when you search "how to root kindle fire hd". It's by a user named reverendkjr.
(Update: My sister has a classic Kindle so I'm trading with her)
Hi all. I copied the Time Warner Cable all from my EVO over to Kindle Fire HD using Titanium backup. It works perfectly as I am able to turn off ADB. With my daughters Kindle Fire 1st Gen, I cannot seem to find a place to shut down ADB, so live TV will not steam. Any chance there is an app or something that can help me shut that down? Thanks.
Hi All,
So i recently had a Kindle Fire HD repaired (USB port was replaced).
Firstly, it wouldn't connect to any WiFi spot after the repair. Tried everything, including a reset to factory defaults.
Then i realized the time and date was February 2000. That looked like a root cause (i literally tried every conventional method of solving the Wi-Fi issue). I figured the guys might have disconnected the battery when replacing the port, which could reset time and date to the year 2000. Since there is no option to change time and date on a Fire (hello Amazon), the only way was to connect it to a PC, and to try installing a time-date change app, or run the appropriate string to do it via debugging mode.
The problem is that not a single PC can see Kindle, and show "USB device not recognized" message, while all other Android devices work totally fine. The only hardware Id in Device Manager is "USB\UNKNOWN". Installing Kindle Fire drivers from Amazon manually did not help. Installing Android Studio and the relevant Android drivers via that did not help either. Obviously, i have turned ADB on in Kindle settings, and tried several different USB cables.
I can't even send a Kindle hardware report to Amazon because of that (you can imagine the amount of hours I spent with Kindle support that they asked me to send those reports to their devs after having no other ideas, which probably would not help anyway)
Do you think this is because of the new USB port? Time and date thing is really weird too. Maybe you have any ideas how i can make this work? I need Kindle to either connect to Wi-Fi, or to a PC.
Tried to connect it to both protected and unprotected networks on a variety of perfectly working routers, with a variety of security settings. Connected it via USB to Windows 10 Pro, Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 7 Professional (3 totally different machines) with no luck of detecting the Fire.
Thanks in advance!

Kindle Fire HD 7" (2012) then, which does not change the fact that it is a first generation Kindle Fire HD, nor does it change most possible ways of fixing my current issue.

doesn't change the fact that you are asking in the wrong forum
this is only for kindle fire 1 (2011)
there is a separate section for your device see

Thanks, sorry about that.
It's been a while since i've loaded one of these and was wondering if any advancements have been made such as being able to simply load files directly to the stick 2nd gen without registering it and all that... and simply plug it directly into your computer and transfer the files. I know at one point this was possible with one of the fire boxes probably the 1st gen.
I guess i am going to ask why would you want to? it is far easier to sideload apps. Without being rooted you don't have many options. you might be able to load a flash drive with a on-the-go usb hub.

Without registering a Fire TV you won't have much fun with the device. You will then regularly see hints for certain actions, which you have to click away.
Amazon already registers every device on delivery and links it to an Amazon account (even if you log out, Amazon still knows the link). The device also reports regularly to Amazon, so you will never be on the go anonymously anyway.
