Really needs to be in Q+A not dev.....
Try this;
Download the Android SDK and unzip it and copy the 'adt-bundle-windows' folder to your documents folder
Navigate to Documents/adt-bundle-windows/sdk/tools and run the android app - this opens the android SDK manager.
Go to tools - Manage-addon-sites and select the User defined Sites tab. Click new and add the following url
http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml
Hit OK and close
Now scroll to the bottom on the SDK manager and under extras will be 2 kindle fire options 'kindle fire device definitions' and 'kindle fire USB driver' select both and install.
Now close the SDK manager.
If you have previously used your kindle on your PC, plug it in and go to device manager and un-install the drivers for it - now unplug it.
Navigate to \Documents\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver and install the kindle USB drivers
Now add the location of the ADB.exe file to your path
You should now be able to plug in your kindle and execute adb devices and see your kindle - that means your good to go.

I downloaded the SDK and it didn't have a 'adt bundle' in the contents but i ran sdk manager and I had already added the link you mentioned and I also had already added the extras you mentioned earlier from a article I read and Nothing so I stumbled across this article and it had a few extra steps so I thought to give it a try only problem is, When I go to my device manager to uninstall the kindle drivers i don't have that option to uninstall a 'kindle' driver rite below it there's a android adb interface and i have the option there to uninstall but before I did so I wanted to post here what's going on with me. I wonder if it worked for the person who started the post?

Worked perfectly and allowed me to root using the other guide in the forum.
Posted using my Kindle Fire 2.

Are you using the adb from the latest sdk?
I couldn't get adb to recognise my kf2 until I used the latest adb.exe

I rooted my both kindle´s before a week.
no idea why the other driver did not work.
The Driver from http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml work perfectly.

I had this same issue until I updated the driver with the latest. I don't have it in front of me, but when I looked at it, it's dated approx Dec 8th 2012 in Device Manager. Update the driver to the latest and you should be good to go.

know that if you install the drivers after connect your kindle it can mess it up, if you go into device manager and uninstall the drivers after you've disconnected you're kindle and install them then reconnect it, it should work.

I think I know what's wrong...Your using windowzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Powerpoint is so right here, If you use any linux distribution, it's going to be much easier to get your kindle connected to adb.

Do we even have a q&a or general section for this device? Bought, rooted and turned into a tablet today

That must have been my problem. I ended up moving to my Xubuntu machine to get it to work. I think my adb was from November,

Good luck!

This probly isnt the right place for this but I have been to so many areas and so many websites that I am crosseyed now. I managed to root my kindle the other day and was attempting to install a mod on it. At this point I cant even remember which site I was on to share the steps I took. Needless to say, I messed up and now the kindle boots to to the logo for a few seconds, shuts off and boots back to the logo, over and over. I'm not very good at all this but not completely stupid either. I'm simply ready to pull my hair out. I have installed Android SDK and am having trouble getting the correct drivers for my kindle apparently. Its a kindle fire hd 2012. I went through all the trouble of installing the sdk and got to the part with the addons and manually putting in the amazon site, only to read on and discover its no longer supported so I can not get the different kindle fire definitions. In my device manager, it shows kindle fire and expanded shows Android ADB Interface (no composite.. does it matter?). I have verified that abd is installed and working, but doing a devices command, doesnt show any devices. It executes without errors, just doesnt list anything. I have a fastboot cable and it does currently say Fastboot on the kindle when I plug it in.. thats all it says tho, is it supposed to go any further then those words?
I have tried so many suggestions on here to get it to see my kindle to no avail. I follow tutorials, that seem to link to other tutorials because the previous ones had prerequisites and THOSE have links for downloads that no longer work and so I do a side load of a webpage trying to find the missing download I need and THOSE pages end up leading me somewhere else or going a different route then the previous tutorial took me and I just CAN'T get anywhere with this! It shouldnt be this hard (and I'm venting at this point so I apologize). Does anyone have an UPDATED (2018) tutorial for getting my kindle back to where it will boot up... assuming my computer will ever see it (windows 7 btw). Thanks in advance.

Did you activate ADB on your AFTV?

Well, this may sound like a dumb question, but it's usually the small things that will give you issues.
So, do you have ADB turned on the Fire TV?
Also, is your AFTV connected wired or wireless?
Have you tried setting a static IP on your AFTV?
And this will not solve your issue, but if you have a Android tablet or phone you can install Terminal Emulator and ADB into the AFTV using it (ADB is apart of Android so you don't have to do anything but install and run Terminal Emulator then run adb commands).

adb connect your.ip.address:5555

[Q] Side Loading Kodi on Fire TV

Is somebody able to help me out with side loading Kodi?
I've done a few Fire TV's and have been using the tweeking4all method, could not post link as I'm new to this forum.
But with the recent ones I've done when I use ikonoTV it doesnt boot into Kodi, it boots into ikonoTV. I'm assuming they have done something with this app that prevents it from booting Kodi.
Does anybody have a fix for this? or an alternate way?
Thank You

Download kodi apk, install using adb fire on pc or agkfire from android phone

Make a note of your fire tv ip address from the settings about menu
On pc open the folder you have adb in - if you don't have adb you can either install the Android sdk or Google for just adb
Hold shift then right click on any empty space within the folder window
Select open a command prompt here
Type in
Adb connect ipaddressOfFireTv
Now type
Adb install nameofapk
To make it easy just type adb install then drag your apk into the command prompt window and it will auto fill it's location
Wait until it completes
To open app on fire
Goto settings - app - manage apps - select app - launch
Or
Install the full amazon app store and it will listed in the main app window
You can also use apps & pc tools for fire tv to do it for you - see playstore and app section in xda fire tv

Thanks! I will give it a try tonight, appreciate the help.

I tried ADBFire and I tried sideloading the app and I got a green progress bar down on the bottom and I waited until it finished, but then it started all over again and the app was never there. Very lost on this. I was using the standalone adb by the way.

This worked perfect for me with two Sticks and yesterday with a FireTV box using a Windows 7 PC: http://sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-windows/

I tried that same exact thing with no luck. I might try factory resetting and doing it again. If anybody else has any other suggestions please let me know!

Do you have an Android phone or tablet? You can push apps from it to the FireTV: http://www.howtogeek.com/216386/how...s-onto-your-amazon-fire-tv-and-fire-tv-stick/
I installed ES File Explorer first, then connected it to my Dropbox account, I basically have a folder of everything I want on a FireTV in Dropbox so it's easy to copy everything at once.

Tried factory resetting, logged into my Amazon account. Waited for it to finish, went onto ADB and connected succesfully, tried sending file and I get the dreaded "Error: closed". SO frustrated! I just want to sideload some apps people! Will post a picture when I reach 10 posts. In the meantime imgur .com/fWa6agp just remove the space between imgur and .com

I am trying it right now! I am so excited! I hope this works. If it does a thousand thanks to you, and is there a way to donate if it does? Sorry for the long wait I have to wait 4 minutes between replies.

FYI, I don't know anything about the "adb sideload" command, I have used the "adb install" command. My method:
1. Download an apk to my Downloads folder
2. Open my Downloads folder
3. Open a command window
4. Use "adb connect" to the FireTV ip address
5. Type "adb install Downloads\appname.apk" and return
Also, the "appname.apk" filename cannot have any spaces in it.
