Need more help

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?

If you install kingroot on a Windows PC and then plug that into the Amazon device.
If you set kingroot to automatically root your Amazon device it should automatically reinstall the factory image if it fails to root it for you.
This is how I unbricked a fire TV stick. I understand that this is a full fire TV, however if you are stuck what have you got to lose.
Alternatively if you have installed TWRP, then you should be able to mount external devices and install the factory image from there yourself...

Sorry for the late reply on this, I only just saw it when I installed xda labs.
Firstly use Windows 7 or 10, which version did you use? Secondly you will need to follow the respective instructions to install kingroot. For instance Windows does not come with complete USB drivers and needs to install Android drivers for each device. You can get round part of this by installing the Android SDK which includes a repository of most drivers. Test it is working first with a phone or tablet.
I assume you have the internet enabled on both the windows device and fire TV stick? You will probably also need to ignore any false positives from virus guard software during the process and temporarily (keep it safe by avoiding doing anything else on the internet!) Turning off your firewall.
Finally kingroot has many fake copies floating around! Only follow genuine threads from xda. (I would give a link but have noticed they change from time to time because of the nature of these apps).
I have successfully un-softbricked both my fire TV sticks using this process. Good luck!

Is there a way to transfer apks and files directly to fire stick with usb?

I know I can transfer via adb over my network but is there a way to transfer apks and files directly to the fire tv stick? Has anyone been able to access the file system without registering the device. I remember a long time ago on the fire tv's there was a way to do this via adb but can this be done with a hard cable directly from computer?
Go to this site to get drivers for fire stick, install them , and plug your fire stick in with just usb to your computer(wait for windows to say your hardware is ready to use). You can also install apps using adb. Worked for me on Windows 10.

Thank you for that link and info. Do you know if I have to log into an account before doing this transfer? Or can I just open the package plug it in and transfer the files?
I was already logged in, so don't know. But you don't have register the stick. Try plugging it in and see if windows will recognize it.
