[Q] Drivers not installing - Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting

I have searched for days without luck.
I noobishly formatted my Kindle fire 2nd Gen while trying to install a new Rom. Now I have access to TWRP but there is no data on the device when I plug into my pc the drivers fail to install. I tried to uninstall and install kindle adb drivers but I am still getting the caution triangle in device manager. Help.

Try using the drivers in my signature.

Your suggestions didn't work.

Are you on windows 8? And when you goto the devices properties with the triangle, does it say it doesn't have the drivers installed or a different error message?

I'm on Windows 7 the message says no drivers installed. I installed Android sdk and tried sideload but the message said can't read sideload

I think everything was wiped I still get the original Kindle bootloader image on start up and a second image that gives me the recovery mode option. I get into TWRP but no files are there to do anything. Then when I plug the device into my pc it's not recognized. I see Kindle in my devices but when I try to open as a usb device the drive is greyed out.

What happens when you try to use the drivers in my signature, does the driver fail when you try to install it or what?

There is no install.exe in your files I don't know how to install it.

i had this problem some time ago....
go to your device manager and select the kindle fire and deinstall the drivers from there than the right drivers should be automaticly install

I did that many times but windows failed to install the drivers

In the device manager, right click the device with the triangle, hit update drivers, choose the option that let's you search a directory, and point it to where you extracted my drivers, then let it install.

I tried that. The message I got was "windows could not find driver software for your device"
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda app-developers app

OK in that case open the device manager, right click the device with a triangle, hit properties, and goto the details tab, then choose hardware id's from the drop down list, and post them here.

Ah OK good to hear, for future reference though to use side load u have to turn side load mode on in twrp.

Ah OK never mind then, thought maybe that was the error for not turning it on.

I tried that. It still failed.
It's still a driver problem.
Go to rev Kyle's tutorial for setting up adb install the android sdk and make sure you uninstall the drivers and reinstall the drivers using that software when I set it up it was a lil screwy in that what I thought was installing the drivers was actually uninstalling them..anyway those are the drivers I used and it worked fine multiple times

[Q] KFHD 8.9 and PS App Problems

I rooted my KF using KFFF and used it to install the Play Market. There are many apps that the PS says are not compatible with my device. Can this be corrected?
You can download the .apk and install it that way. You may experience problems with the app though.

Well, do you want a custom ROM, or do you want 100% unrooted stock without custom recovery or 2nd bootloader, because those are your two options.
I can't find a stock ROM compatible with twrp, just side load cm onto it and install it again, or use kffa to restore stock amazon os. I think restoring stock will get rid of twrp though just a heads up.

There are no stock KF ROMs for the KF2, there are only CM, PA or AOSP based ROMs. Flashing the stock update from Amazon will get rid of everything, including root, TWRP, and the 2nd bootloader.
So what would you rather have?
I want to go back to stock plz I tried flashing a bin 10.2.6 and renamed it as a zip but I get a error but I still have twrp and side loading but yes I want to go back to stock plz I have no os btw

Download the Kindle Fire 2 software update from Amazon
Rename it from update-blah-blah.bin to update-blah-blah.zip
Push it to your device
Factory reset!!!
Flash in recovery and reboot.
So download update file from Amazon and rename it as a zip OK good I'll try that but will I get a red screen btw that's why I want 10.2.6 so it will update and won't get red screen
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Red screen is completely avoidable on an os higher than that, u just have to downgrade the bootloader first.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire HD running CM10.1 Tablet UI using xda-developers app
OK im gona try it in a bit so if I flashed that I won't get red screen because Installed twrp before that red screen update 10.4.6 or something like that. But I do have 10.2.6 bin file now gonna push it now

The update will replace the bootloader, recovery boot and system partitions with pure stock, so there's little chance of bricking...unless you forget to factory reset.
So factory rest now and then flash OK btw what will happiness if I don't do a factory reset and should I wipe cashe and davlick cashe and system

[Q] Troubles with OtterX install

I wanted to install an OtterX ROM,i've completed all of the steps in the Hashcode's manual,and I can't push the ROM to my Kindle through ADB.
there's a error "device not found" in the console.
How can I fix it?
Does command
adb devices
Work?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
ADB can't recognise Kindle.
"List of devices attached" - clear.
Problem with drivers,maybe?
There are no Android drivers at all,on this PC.
You never installed kindle drivers?

"device not found" is almost always a drivers issue
What windows version?
Win8.1
first shot - what does Kindle seems when booted into recovery :"Amazon OtterX"
second - fastboot, "Kindle"
It says that there are no drivers for both.

1. Open the charm bar and go into Settings and at the bottom click on Change PC Settings.
2. Go to the General tab and at the very bottom click on ‘Restart now’ under the Advanced startup.
3. Choose the Troubleshoot option followed by Advanced options.
4. Choose Startup settings then on next screen click on ‘restart’.
Windows 8 will now reboot and you can go ahead and install the Kindle ADB drivers

Latest boot loader 2.05, latest recovery 2.7.1 just need to adb push ROM. I was on 2.7.0.1 recovery should have left it on that before flashing latest recovery. Since I was able to access sdcard than.

Used kindle fire need help unbricking

I bought a kindle fire off of craigslist. The guy told me that it turned on but wouldn't boot. I brought it home and have spent the last two weeks working on it. I have tried kindle fire utility, kindle fire unbrick, soupkit, and firekit. None have worked. I can get the kindle in adb easily but it seems like the bootloader and system are messed up. Any attempt to add to the KF is met with no space left on device or idme permission denied. I have ran out of options and have read every page of the above mentioned programs. So my question is is there a way to wipe everything and start from scratch?

Also all I can see on boot is the orange and white kindle fire logo with animation. I am trying to just get it to boot then probably root from there.
