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.

I watched the video and I've read several threads about trying to solve my problem, but without success.
I rooted my Kindle Fire tonight utilizing the Kindle Fire Utility, but was unable to get the Google Play Market to run correctly without force closing.
I followed the directions in these forums and went to install FireFireFire to see if that would assist things, and during that time my device locked up at this image.
The forums will not allow me to post an image or a link but it is the standard Kindle Fire logo with the Android logo above that.
I attempted to follow the directions in the Kindle Unbrick Utility hosted here, however my Windows 7 is not recognizing the Kindle at all anymore. It's listed as 'malfunctioning' under windows and all of the unBrick utility options says the device is not responding.
I tried to reinstall the ADB drivers from both Kindle Fire utility and by manually editing the android usb driver in the Android SDK file.
Any ideas or did I just completely destroy my Kindle Fire after having it rooted for approximately six hours.
EDIT: Oh, my goodness. The unbrick just worked randomly. It still force closes google play but I am just going to cut my losses, I need a drink.
Hi everyone!, i installed TWRP recovery on my rooted kindle(rooted with burritoRoot) with Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6, after installing it KFU asked me to reboot so i did, after that the boot freezes at kindle fire boot logo (not the gif), just at the very beggining, i've tryed to enter in recovery mode without success, and also tryed to access through adb shell and says no device is connected, also tryed ti use unbrick utility without success, it seems to be a problem that my kindle fire doesn't connect well to the pc.
The most of times says unkown device, and very few times it connects as android phone, and even in that "mode" it doesn't gives me access to adb shell.
I'm using windows 7 on a samsung r430, any advice?

This is my second time rooting my Gen1 Kindle Fire. (The first time was very successful but stupid me, I went back to factory settings for no good reason).
From KF's updated software (6.3.2) I used Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9, to install TWRP 2.6 and other google apps. I loaded TWRP and cleared cache etc. I then installed the new CM 10.1 SGT 7 rom. When i rebooted the KF, i didnt get the option to boot into twrp. What happens now is, it shows the orange Kindle Fire boot screen, and then continues to the CM10.1 boot screen. I may have installed CM10 over the KF software somehow. Now, my PC recognizes it as a Kindle Fire when I plug in the USB but there's an error in the device manager. Basically, KFU doesn't recognize it's a Kindle anymore. When I try to reboot it in recovery mode, it just does a regular reboot. Nothing about my KF looks like there's twrp installed in the background. I can't access it no matter what.
I tried sideloading Google Play and installing the TWRP Manager app but that doesn't do anything at all. I feel like my KF is going to be stuck like this forever. Any way to hard reset everything without TWRP? I have the proper "update.zip" file on the sdcard but I can't access any way to Wipe it and Install it.
Just so you know, the kindle isn't bricked it just seems like it's permanently stuck the way it is and my PC won't recognize its harddrive via USB.
Any suggestions?
Still no replies huh? Damn.
So when I turn on my kindle fire, the orange Kindle Fire logo shows up for a few seconds THEN the CyanogenMod boot screen comes up. I never get the option to boot into TWRP.
When I plug my KF into my PC, the Kindle Fire drivers get an error so i change it into an Android ADB Composite device. It still won't recognized the device properly. When I open up the console and try "adb devices" nothing shows as connected. I've installed the SDK and changed the files but it's the same thing. All that to say, the KFU no longer recognizes when the KF is plugged in.

Still cant root this kindle fire and it's been almost to a week. I run windows xp and have a kindle fire 1st generation with 6.3.2. Now the problem I'm having with rooting this kindle fire is that when I try to install the drivers it says its unassigned. I went into the control panel and I checked the box for installing unassigned drivers but that doesn't work. I heard you can manually install the drivers but Idk know how to do that and even after I do what do i do after that. Anything I can do to root this kindle fire?
I used the Kindle Fire Utility to root my Kindle 6.3.2 and then I screwed up. I think I accidentally used the 'Advanced Wipe' feature in TWRP and killed my Kindle.
Right now I can boot my Kindle to the TWRP recovery no problem. But I cannot get my PC to see the device so that I can sideload CyanogenMod or something similar.
When I plug my Kindle into my Win 7 PC it dings, it sees the usb connection, the and Kindle starts recharging so I know there is some connection. In Device Manager it shows that I have an Android ABD device.
But I cannot see the Kindle in Explorer so I can move the CyanogenMod .zip over to the kindle for installation.
I've tried every USB driver in the book and I am out of ideas. Also, I am a n00b at this so I hope I used all the terms correctly.
Help!
PS: As a side note, does Google Play still work with CyanogenMod? That is what started this whole mess - my CM Kindle would not recognize my Google Play games.
Thanks
