Hi I did a search but couldnt find any info on this.
I followed the steps in trying to install the drivers for first gen kindle fire on win 8.1.
Drivers installed fine but when I plug in the kindle fire I get device descriptor request failed in device manager. I've tried reinstalling the drivers. Different usb cable and different usb ports and same issue exists.
Has anyone had this problem and know a solution?
Thanks!
Which drivers? From where?
Which system version is on Kindle?

I first tried using the drivers from your thread [How To][Root] Kindle Fire 1 update 6.3.3 and Flashing FFF/TWRP [2014].
Did the advanced driver install from 8.1 and I got the device descriptor request failed error.
I then tried using the drivers from [HOW-TO] Amazon Kindle Fire Signed Driver for WinXP/Vista/7/8/8.1 thread. Drivers installed fine but I get the exact same problem.
Kindle is on version 6.3.3. Only thing i havent tried with a factory reset.

Kindle doesnt show up. It shows up as Unknown usb device (Device descriptor Failed)
I have tried to uninstall the unknown usb device but to no avail. I just tired a factory reset and that didnt work either. Im at a loss.
I've also tried installing manually by pointing it to the folder and it tell me the best driver has already been installed.

Have access to a Windows 7 pc?
Unfortunately i don't. Do you believe it's a windows 8.1 problem? I've been searching for some answers and it appears that might be it.
I was tempted to VM win10 and see if it worked in there.

Okay, so i'm using Windows 8, and I am attempting to install the drivers. (I can root) I have a factory new Kindle Fire plugged in via USB. I have manually reset the Vendor ID and the drivers in the SDK twice and one attempt through KFU. I get this error every time: The hash for this file is not present in the specified catalog file. Any help is appreciated! (Sorry if wrong sub + bad english)
KFU doesn't support Windows 8 right now, as far I know. I suggest putting up a request for a Windows 8 port, but since 8 is only in Consumer Preview, no one is going to do it right now.

Is there a way to root it without KFU? It still runs the root batch file, just not the drivers. I still need help.

Yes, but how to i install the drivers?
Ran "adb reboot bootloader and my kindle2 rebooted into fastboot mode, with the green and red light "stop light" on the screen. The Green light is blinking. The problem I am having is that my device comes up on my computer as Otter2-Prod-04 and I have no idea how to install fastboot drivers.

Use KFAID and install the adb drivers that come with it.
If your device is showing up as stated... Fast boot drivers are installed.
What is your goal?

Windows 8, but i've been thinking of creating an ubuntu partition because it seems people have a lot less problems with adb and the sort with linux.
I've tried the kindle fire drivers from the sdk, and the kindle fire hd drivers that some people used to root their kindle 2. had no problem getting my kindle fire to show up with adb. I've tried editing a driver to add the hardware id's that come up with the driver.

Very strange as the adb driver and fast boot driver are one and the same..
I assume you turned off driver signing and installed them manually (if not, do so)

What's the issue?
You're in fastboot.
That's what you want, you're done.
If you THINK there is an error with your PC connecting to the KF2 in fastboot, then try stuff with ADB. You say you want fastboot but you already have fastboot enabled. There is nothing more you can do to.....get more....fastboot?
Now, if ADB is having issues, then you should post what kind of errors or issues you're having, and then hopefully we can help more. As of now though, it seems like you're already at where you want to be.
I've got the driver installed after turning off the signature checking thing.
I just thought I would be able to issue fastboot commands, whenever i try and do that I just end up with waiting for devices. Not a big deal , my device is working just fine so it's not like im stuck or anything. Just trying to further advance my android knowledge.

Hey man, can you help me? How did you install ADB driver? could you be more specific on this turn off signature checking? I'm using windows 7 and even I manually install driver and did everything that you did I still have the yellow triangle in device manager and cant be detected in adb that's why I can't sideload files.

you've probably already have them installed. in device manager, right click on the yellow triangle and click "update driver" when it asks you if you want to automatically search, choose "browse my computer for drivers", then click "choose from a list of installed drivers" scroll down the list till you see "kindle" click on kindle and the driver you want should be called "android composite adb interface" that's how i got mine to work
I have a kindle fire which wasn't doesn't connect to the computer. I get an error message such as "USB device not recognized". I had rooted the kindle fire and I thought that this problem could have been because of the rom or some kind of kernal error so I installed the stock rom thinking that I will just re-root if however the connection problem still was still there. So now I have kindle fire which is not rooted so doesn't have google market and I want to root it however cannot find a way to get it connected. I have tried 3 different computers and many different cables however still no success. I have also tried reinstalling the drivers, turning off and on the kindle fire with the cable plugged in. Could the port on the kindle fire be broken even though it charges fine. Also, would a factory cable help because I don't want to order it if it doesn't work. What other options do I have? I live in UK and this kindle fire is the 1st gen which was only available in US so cannot send it to amazon for checking.
Your help will be appreciated :good:
Do you have TWRP installed? If so, try connecting it to the computer using the USB mount via TWRP...
I have 3 Kindle Fire tablets that I installed a JB ROM on for some friends, and one will not connect to the computer (except via TWRP). I never did figure out why, but I could copy a ROM and Gapps to it while in TWRP. I set them all up the same, and that one still doesn't connect.

Plug the device in and manually uninstall the unknown device that shows up in Device Manager. Then Find the directory where the 'android_winusb.inf' is stored (somewhere in your WINDOWS directory), delete it, and start over.

Could it be possible that the port on the kindle fire is broken as I have tried connecting in on many computers and in none it has worked. Also I dont know if this is relevant but when I connect the kindle fire to the computer, the device is connected screen doesn't come up, it just charges and thats it no other change

If this is the stock OS, then I would say that is definitely a problem. You may have some system files missing for detecting USB devices plugged in as UMS. Are you able to access any flash drives?

Yes, my computer detects my galaxy s2 and other flash drives perfectly. Is there any way of rooting the kindle fire without connecting it to the computer? Because all i want is to have the play store on my device
The new version of KFU seems to have a much more effective driver install. You should try looking into that.

I am having the same issue with my KF2. USB Comms disappeared in terms of the device being recognised by XP but strangely fastboot worked and I was able to load CM11 on the device after downloading it via wifi and installing TWRP via fastboot. Still no USB on CM11 but its briefly recognised for a split second when it first boots. Monting the volume via TWRP has not effect either.
Have tried a variety of cables and have tried connecting the Kindle to an XP netbook, downloading fresh drivers etc etc etc.
Any ideas out there?

i have problems with kfu i cant connect kindle fire to my computer i suppose i have a wrong cable cause i am have Nokia cable and using it to connect it,
i want to install android on it,so i have a wrong cable and i don't know where i can buy from my country .
i am asking if i can root it and install android with wifi file transfer i mean i can transfer files from my computer to kindle with wifi
i need your help
thanks in advance .
Wifi transfer will only work until kfu wants to shut it off to install the bootloader and recovery.
You may want to try to reinstall the drivers and if that doesn't work, try deleting your .android folder

Can that work on a Linux on virtual box or VMware because I don't have Ubuntu installed
Run linux on a live usb. Use linux mint mate 13 or ubuntu 12.04 32 bit. It has to have persistent to save data between reboots. Once booted run Soupkit on the live system http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1850038 . Truth not all usb cables are the same I have two that will not detect fastboot at all.
I'm stuck at a fastboot loading screen. None of the tool's I've used seem to work. I have tried KFU, KindleUnbrick, n2a's Root2Stock, nothing seems to work. I've tried accessing it via fastboot and adb both say that device not found or <waiting for device>. Now I have a jig that I've used with success with my samsung g3. However, how likely am I to make this problem worse... Any thoughts or tricks that I haven't found would be wonderful.
