I'm using a first generation Kindle Fire 7" and Windows 7. Rooted successfully, and I twrp seems to be working perfectly. However, I cannot move the cyanogenmod or gapps over to the sd card. When I open Computer, my kindle is recognized as a removable disk ( E: ) and won't allow me to view the files or copy new files to it. All I get is an error message asking me to insert a disk into E:. However, Device Manager still recognizes my kindle as an Android phone, with the Android Composite ADB Interface driver.
I'm scratching my head and driving myself crazy. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Have you tried using adb push to get the files onto the Kindle? It might work best.

So I had everything working great, until I accidentally used KFU .9.1 to install my drivers again. Now, when I plug the kindle in, the loading bar keeps spinning. I found jayceoois site, which said this:
You should see Android Composite ADB Interface as the new device after driver installed successfully. You can use Kindle Fire Utility to test Kindle Fire adb USB driver is working or not. Why not use install driver feature in Kindle Fire Utility? There is an issue on Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.1. It will replace Kindle Fire USB Mass Storage driver. So you can’t use USB Mass Storage mode anymore if you install driver with Kindle Fire Utility.

Should be go to Driver Manager and right-click on Android Phone -> Kindle Fire and select "Update driver" option. Your computer will be saw your KF which is same USB mass storage and your can root it or else.
I was having this issue until I came across this post in the KFU thread by mk69: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26064681#post26064681. The drivers he posted worked perfectly!
Note that I had previously downloaded both the KFU 0.9.6 drivers and another zip of drivers, neither of which worked. I'm on Win7 even though his fix claims to be for WinXP.
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.

I have attempted several different fixes to get my rooted KF recognized by PCs running VISTA and XP to no avail. My KF is looping TWRP v2.0.0, so I have concluded. Yet if not PC can recognize it as a device...well, please give me your thoughts and suggestions.

Hey I'm a brand new member so I apologize in advance if my problem has been solved already, however, I could not find anything on any of the threads. Okay so I am severely confused right now. I have had my Kindle Fire for almost a year now and this problem has never occurred. Ever since I got my Kindle I have been experimenting on it. I rooted it and have flashed many different custom roms. I had been using TWRP Recovery 2.0 for a long time and when I found out that it was outdated I updated it to the new 2.2.1.1 version...Everything seemed to be working perfectly until I tried mounting USB storage in the new TWRP...It did not work. My computer wouldn't recognize it. I kind of just let this slide since I figured I wouldn't need to mount USB storage in TWRP unless it was an emergency. A while later I switched back to the Kindle's stock rom. That's when I noticed that it would not mount...Not only was TWRP not mounting, but it was my Kindle altogether. I deleted all drivers that had any thing to do with Android from my computer. After restarting both my computer and my Kindle I tried mounting again...Nothing. The drivers weren't even reinstalling. To test wether this was a problem with my computer or my Kindle I got my brother's Kindle Fire (Never had any tweaking done to it) and mounted USB storage. It installed the drivers and mounted just fine. I then plugged my Kindle back in and it mounted just fine also. I thought I had solved the issue, but about an hour later I tried mounting my Kindle again and nothing happened. My brother's Kindle will mount (Actually there are a total of four Kindles in my house all of which have not been tweaked except for mine) but mine won't do anything. As a last resort I deleted EVERYTHING with TWRP and flashed the Kindle Fire 6.3.1 update.zip. My Kindle is now true factory default (no root, custom recovery, etc...). I thougt for sure this would work but IT STILL WON'T MOUNT USB STORAGE!!! When I plug my Kindle in and go to "Devices and Printers" it recognizes my device as a "Kindle" but I just cannot get it to mount! I am now stuck with a Kindle that cannot be re-rooted or anything due to the fact that it cannot be recognized with ADB. Sorry for the long post...I am just trying to give as much information as possible. By the way I am running Windows 7 and my Kindle is the only one that will not mount which makes this problem have nothing to do with drivers or my computer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Wheww okay well try a factory reset this will wipe your sdcard as well. It should resolve most your problems. There are multiple things that can cause this to happen but one thing that really comes to mind. Are you ejecting your kindle before hitting the disconnect button? Just a wild guess but failing to do so can cause this disorder the very next time you plug it in. Something that could resolve minor sdcard issues is
Code:
fastboot oem format
don't let this make you to crazy yet RC soupmagnet should be releasing something very soon that will solve the majority of SD card mount problems hint hint . You will need to reroot and flash a custom ROM on it to have success though. So if nothing works hang tight and stay tuned.
This might help

Thepooch, no I had not been ejecting it before disconnecting. I'll do that from now on. Also commands do not work because my computer doesn't recognize my Kindle as either a storage device or an ADB device, and what does it mean what it says "fastboot not found"? I made sure I have the fastboot.exe in my ADB folder...Soupmagnet, I can't get those commands to work since I'm no longer rooted and my computer doesn't recognize me...

Yeah I downloaded the newest Kindle Fire Utility and installed thoose drivers. When I plug my Kindle in and go to "Device Manager" it lists it as an android phone with ADB Interface. If I plug any other Kindle in then it installs new drivers and doesn't list the ADB Interface. Is this normal?

I don't use Windows so I couldn't tell what's normal for that OS.
Use the tutorial here to confirm your drivers are installed properly. Then Shift + right-click on your KFU "tools" folder with adb.exe and fastboot.exe, and select "Open command window here". Enter your adb or fastboot commands there and see how it goes. Start with "adb devices" to see if you are connected. If not, reinstall your drivers and try again.
Some ROMs have different product IDs than the stock OS so you may want to look into that if you are using a custom ROM, and edit your androidwinusb.inf accordingly. I know some JB roms have a PID of 0004 instead of 0006.
If for some reason Windows refuses to cooperate, you could always set up a Linux LiveUSB and get it done a lot easier.
Okay so I've been fiddling around with stuff. I completely uninstalled all Android drivers again then restarted my PC and Kindle. This time I plugged my Kindle in and it installed the correct drivers. It mounted USB just fine. When I tried reinstalling the ADB drivers that came with Kindle Fire Utility it erased the Kindle's normal drivers, so now it won't mount anymore...at least I know that it is a driver problem and that my Kindle doesn't need to be repartitioned. I'm really getting sick of Windows and its annoying drivers...Any ideas on how to get all the drivers to work? If not I think I might just install Ubuntu and screw the need for drivers.

If you run the driver bat packaged with kfu with the device plugged in sometimes it will waste the mass storage drivers. It`s always best to run it then plug the device in and see what windows decides to install. Unplug, replug, unplug, replug as well as try this while in recovery because it will also attempt to install the drivers as well in recovery.

I downloaded the lates kindle fire utility and I enabled debugging, I can see my files but when I run the utility file the adb says offline. I cannot figure it out. : (
I apologize ahead but I have not been able to find a thread that addresses my problem.
Kindle Fire (1st gen)
Rooted with KFU, installed FFF, TWRP, Go Launcher and Gaaps. Worked perfectly.
Attempted to flash hashcode's JB ROM with Goo manager and made a mistake.
Attempted to boot to system and all that will show is the Rolling Triangles splash screen
continuously.
I can boot to TWRP.. I want to start over and flash the Amazon update 6.3.1 but my
Windows 7 PC cannot connect to the Kindle over usb. Fastboot seems to connect
(returns "Kindle" on fastboot getvar product) ADB does not show any devices attached.
I have deleted and reinstalled drivers - Windows does not recognize the Kindle.
Will a factory cable allow my PC to recognize my stuck Kindle?
Which version of twrp are you using?
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using xda app-developers app
A factory cable will only put your device in fastboot. If you plug the kindle in while in recovery it should install the correct drivers. Try connecting to your computer and selecting mount and hit the big button to access your sdcard contents, where you can transfer a new rom zip to it. I wouldn`t attempt to flash stock unless you research prior many brick their devices and then a factory cable is needed. Did you wipe before flashing? If so how and what?
Also, do you have FireFireFire installed?
Thank you for your replies!
I have FFF installed
TWRP is 2.3
I did do a cache wipe and factory reset within TWRP
I did see this morning manofFishfry posting "[Q] I need help bad"
and it seems he was having a nearly identical problem with USB
connection.
I will attempt thepooch's recommendation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1850038
I will post any progress I make.

TWRP 2.3 is your issue if you do get ubuntu setup with Soupkit simply replace 2.3 with 2.2.2.1 and rewipe and reflash another rom.

I removed the Kindle drivers from my Laptop PC and then connected my son's unrooted stock KF1. It was recognized, the drivers loaded, and I loaded the KFU drivers and updated them no problem. I ran KFU and got 4000 on the code.
I then plugged in my "stuck in TWRP/FFF/JB Splash Screen" rooted KF1 and the PC sees it as a removable memory device. It prompts me to load it with media when I double click on it. KFU can't find it. ADB can't find it. Fastboot can get "Kindle" from getvar product, but nothing else.
What can I do next?
Thanks!

One new thing: I mounted the SD card using TWRP, then my Win 7 Laptop could connect to my Kindle via usb as an external drive. Win 7
then siad the drive needed reformatting. KFU still would not connect.
would the soupkit help in this situation? I had the same problem but figured out the whole mounting from TWRP and it worked for me

Your sdcard issue and ADB issue are two completely unrelated things. The ADB issue is due to the way Windows handles drivers. Fix the driver problem or use SoupKit/Linux.
The sdcard issue is due to your sdcard losing its formatting somehow. You'll have to reformat (quick format, block size 4096) in order to use it again. You will lose all data on the sdcard BTW.
"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh"
Huzzah! Success in spite of myself!
Many thanks to each of the experts that each gave me nuggets of info that eventually
unbricked my KF1.
I last posted that Win 7 would see my Kindle when I used TWRP to mount the SD card.
It prompted for me to "format the device" and feeling I had nothing to lose - selected
default settings and quick format.
This then opened a File Manager window giving me access to the SDcard folder on the KF1.
I had downloaded the Stock update from Amazon update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin
On another thread - Soupmagnet had said to rename this BIN file to a ZIP - which I did.
I shortened the file name to update-kindle-6.3.1.zip.
I de-mounted the SDcard folder in TWRP.
I wiped the Dalvic and did a factory reset.
I navigated to the Install screen and it found the update file and installed it.
UNBRICKED!
Thanks again for the tireless help you guys give.

I can't seem to find any other thread that has my specific problem. The facts........I have a kindle fire 1st gen that I rooted months ago. I've been experimenting with different roms for a while. Somehow I've got windows 7 seeing the kindle only as a removable drive. When I try to access it, it asks for a disk. It is listed twice in device manager. As an android phone, at the top of the tree and further down as portable drive F. If I go into devices and printers it is also listed but as Amazon Kindle Fire. Before this happened I did move a rom onto the kindle. I can wipe it, it formats Data and cache using make_ext4fs function. It reads successful after. When I flash the rom(Update-kindle-6.3.3), a bunch of error messages pop up starting with assert failed:getprop blaze 11. Then it says E:unknown command[err_string] I have tried most everything including uninstalling all drivers and reinstalling. I even reinstalled the SDK tools. MY feeling is I have to take care of this at the terminal but have no idea what commands to give it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
I just noticed something else. I have tried connecting the kindle to my computer by mounting USB. And I thought that it was doing that. However, after "mount USB", I went to the terminal and these error messages appeared........E:Storage partition '//twrp/backups/00000000000000' not found. Then there is a second error message E:Unable to locate volume information for USB storage mode.

TWRP v2.6.3.1 Not sure where to find bootloader info. I see another error message E:Storage partition '//TWRP/Backups/000000000000' not found. This was displayed before a wipe was done. The wipe says successful.
I think I've done something that may not be correctable. At the terminal I typed parted to see what the response would be and it said "device not found" I went back and tried almost every folder and it came back with the same thing....................
You need twrp 2.2.2.1 to install stock rom
If you wiped storage, you wiped backup
For drivers use install.drivers.bat from Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9 they are the only reliable drivers for the kindle fire 1
