Kindle Fire to PC connectivity lost after ROM install (Recognized as different device GT-P1000) and I cannot install drivers to this device
The Good News, Bad News and Solution Attempts…
The Good News.
I installed the GedeROM CM9 ICS 4 (GedeROM ICS v4.04 CM9 Kernel v3.0.21) to my 1st generation Kindle Fire and it runs great. It is much smoother at running Air for Android with an App that I have been developing. The USB Host works great with my Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo with the OTG USB Dongle and Logitech nano receiver. I would like to keep using this ROM as it is very functional for my needs.
The Bad News.
Now, let’s get to the frustrating part. No more drag and drop. After the install, my PC no longer recognizes the it as a Kindle Fire as a drive or sdcard. It recognizes it as a GT-P1000 (Galaxy Tab P1000). Because of this mis-reporting to the PC device manager the KF and sdcard are no longer visible as a drive on the PC for me to browse, drag and drop items.
The Device Manager sees the
---Android Phone > Android ADB Interface
or depending on the driver
---Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface
and no where in the Device Manager does it show the Kindle Fire any longer.
The only place the device is listed is in
---Control Panel > Hardware > Devices and Printers > GT-P1000(!). (Unknown Device) And I cannot install drivers on this device.
Attempted Solutions.
1. Driver Reinstall(s) with and without SDK.
I tried reinstalling the drivers for the KF and this changed it from Android Composite ABD Interface to Android ADB Interface. (no luck) I reinstalled the Composite interface and still no KF. I also tried a few different versions of drivers up and down the spectrum trying to get this installed. Including trying to install a GT-P1000 driver from Samsung. Still no luck.
2. Android Debugging
I tried to turn on and off and on etc the Android debugging in Settings > Developer Options > Android Debugging. No Luck.
3. Turn on USB Mass Storage
Unable to do this as the options are simply just not there.
4. Reboots
Countless reboots (PC and KF) and cache wipes with and without the KF attached.
5. Different ROM
I tried a different ROM for Jelly Bean 4.2 and it was successful and recognized as a KF and I could browse to the folders on the sdcard. However this ROM was so striped down that it was not really functional for me as there was no file explorer, market app, or any way to browse to the sdcard to install any app that I could drag and drop into the sdcard in the hopes of installing a file explorer and market app. The issue seems to be with the GedeROM CM9 that I am using.
Am I going to have to try multiple ROMS until something works?
Specs:
Kindle Fire (1st Gen, spring of 2012, original one purchased in December 2011, but suffered screen smash)
GedeROM ICS v4.04 CM9 Kernel v3.0.21
The PC I am using is running Windows 7 Professsional.
Work Around Found... Sort of.
I have tried several different ROMS today.
I have found that they just dont have the stability and functionality that I like with the version that I am running. SO.... that being said, I found a work around. I can keep the existing ROM in place and if I need to copy something to the SD Card, I can just boot into TWRP and mount the USB drive, make the file copies and then reboot. It's a little annoying, but none so much as not being able to do it at all.
Thanks for the input.

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.

Tried but still not working
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?

Same problem.
Problem:
-stuck @ logo screen
-usb not recognize by computer (windows 7 OS)
I already tried using different sets of cable, reboot both kindle and pc, tried to insert on different usb ports, tried to install adb and adb drivers. still not recognize.
Please help, any suggestion is very much appreciated.
i have managed to sucessfully install a 2nd bootloader, TWRP Recovery, and CM10.1 onto my new KFHD with no apparent problems, following Hashcode's guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128175.
I had already set up my system to support developing and debugging the KFHD, including the Amazon-specific Kindle Fire USB drivers; when plugged in, the device showed up in Device Manager as a "Kindle" with a "Composite ADB Interface", and `adb devices` detected the device.
After flashing the CM10.1 ROM I can no longer see my device as anything except an MPT USB Device, and `adb devices` says there are no devices attached.
I have tried both the Google USB drivers and the Kindle USB drivers and Windows claims that neither of them is correct for my hardware. When I check Device Manager, it says the attached device is VID_18D1, PID_6860, REV_0100, which doesn't match any of the device descriptors in either of the driver inf files.
Which driver am I supposed to be using now and how can I get it to install properly?
EDIT: I had forgotten to re-enable ADB Debugging on the tablet after flashing; now it is actually called an "Amazon Kindle Fire HD" and has a different device descriptor:
VID_18D1&PID_6861&REV_0261&MI_01
but still no love from ADB.
Thanks.
I'm having the same problem. No connection to ADB, and MTP only exists as a single file when activating the camera toggle. Frustrating to say the least, but not a deal-breaker.
Oh and a friend has the same problem. I know its not helpful, but atleast you're not the only one
That's really odd as adb works fine for me on Haschode's 10.1 Perhaps try reinstalling the drivers, The adb drivers are - click here
You may need to uninstall the old drivers before these work. Also, goes without saying that you need to enable USB debugging on the tablet!
No more Composite ADB driver after installing CM10.1

I installed Hashcode CM10.1 for the first time tonight on an KFHD 8.9.
I have the same problem on both Windows and LINUX: loading CM10.1 on an HFHD8.9 tablet. (No ADB)
I use both every single day on both windows and LINUX so have lots and lots of experience.
In windows after installing 2nd boot /twrp and Hashcode zips (8.1.4.zip, or 8.4.1.zip) I have to use some old windows drivers for ADB and fastboot does not work at all. In LINUX, ABD and fastboot work for both Stock Kindle OS and all of Hashcodes Mod'd KindleOS.zips
If I load Hashcode's CM10.1, I have not ADB on Windows or LINUX ADB Devices shows 123456789ABCDE offline
Recovery shows devices = 123456789ABCDE Recovery
I can push files in Recovery but, not if the tablet boots into OS.
If I revert back to any one of the Hashcode KindleOS.zip images all is well at least in LINUX.
This issue is definately related to something driver wise in the CM10.1 OS.
Regards
I saw this same issue
I had this same issue after installing twrp and CM 10.1 as well. I was fortunate to have a second laptop that had not been used for this stuff before, and once i installed the adb drivers on that machine, had no issue connecting to the tablet from that machine. I still could not connect to it from the original machine. My guess would be to uninstall the ADB drivers from the machine you are using to connect, and reinstall. if that doesn't work, hopefully you have a spare machine, otherwise you might need to look at re-imaging you computer. I happen to keep a stock image file of my laptop in case of hard drive failure or other emergency, so it was about 20 minutes, and i was back up and running.
I've installed 2nd bootloader + TWRP + cyanogenmod for my kindle fire 8.9 hd, but now the device isn't showing up on my computer (windows 7 64bit.) It starts to install drivers but says "unidentified device" and fails. I looked around in settings on the actual tablet and couldnt find anything relevant. Is it possible I need to turn on adb debugging on the tablet again, and if so, where is it located in CM10.1?
I've tried rebooting and reinstalling adb drivers on my computer, but no dice.
It detects as a PTP device, but doesn't show up when I change it to MTP. adb devices doesn't list anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah I had that problem just a few days ago. Turns out you just go to the setting and about section and tap the build number a few times to enable the developers options in setting. Then you will be able to select adb debugging.

Sweet, that was really helpful. Now the device shows up in adb devices, but not in windows. I can't send or receive files.
This is really frustrating. You'd something something as simple as "how to connect cm10.1 kindle to computer" would be documented somewhere, but I cant seem to find it.

Never had an issue not showing up in windows especially if the "adb devices" cmd now works in your windows. That seems odd. Maybe you should connect your kindle to pc and enter windows device manager under portable drivers and uninstall the kindle driver. Window will reinstall the driver once you disconnect and reconnect the kindle.
I have the exact same problem with my KFHD8.9 since I rooted and installed CM10 two days ago.
I also have Win 7 64, and I also can use it as PTP but not as an MTP (USB debugging is on).
I've tried installing and re-installing both ADB drivers provided here. Countless times I've tried to: reboot Kindle, restart my PC, removing unrecognized drivers in device manager and then reinstalling them when the Kidnle connects via USB.
I've even tried installing the Android SDK files with no success.
So far, I've spent more than 7 hours trying to fix this.
The closest I've gotton, was to manually direct the broken Kindle Fire HD driver in device manager to update via the ADB driver located in Program files (x86) folder- then it showed the kindle as being connected under the "safely remove hardware" icon in the notification area and showed as a working driver in device manager, but even then, the MTP won't work and won't show the Kidnle in my computer.
One of the most frustrating things about it is that I connected the Kindle to a 7 year old laptop we have and it was
recognized immediately in "my computer". So I know this means something is wrong with my laptop that
prevents it from being recognized.
Anyone have a suggestions? A solution?
After more than 7 hours trying to figure this out, I would really appreciate your help!
did you solve this?
I just flashed CM10.1 and have the same problem
Try this:
Disconnect kindle
Go to device manager
look for kindle
uninstall
connect kindle
I see that a1745 has tried something like this, but these USB drivers are really flaky. Worth a try.
You can also try toggling MTP mode.
Settings -> storage -> the 3 cube icon on the upper right -> USB computer connection -> and try toggling MTP.

Hello,
I successfully rooted my Kindle Fire last year and a few months ago I decided to flash ICS on it. It worked perfectly and I've had no issues so far on it except for one thing that is driving me nuts.
I had downloaded a couple albums and a few magazines on my Kindle and I wanted to get them on my PC. So I proceeded to plug my Kindle as usual and I heard the USB sound on the PC. I checked My PC and my device did not appear there. I checked Device Manager and the ADB Composite thing did not appear either, it now says Amazon Kindle Fire with the yellow exclammation mark.
I suppose somehow the drivers got uninstalled or something, so I tried installing the drivers again... Which is another nightmare because first of all, I'm on Win XP and my computer is in Spanish. So when I double click on the drivers thing it doesn't work. And now when I try to manually install the drivers it won't let me.
I have no idea what to do now, maybe someone can help me with this. I'll be so grateful for any help you guys can give me! :crying::crying:

Trish: First, I am presuming you are working with a first gen Kindle fire?
I am pretty sure the problem is that the cm10 build is not using the 0x1949 kindle vendor ID and your drivers do not know what to do.
I am not entirely sure how to modify your USB driver ini files but, if you were to install something like USBDview, which lists usb attachments to your PC or, if you were in LINUX for certain and listed the syslog (which prints out all activity on ports basically), you would see a USB connection each time the tablet is connected but, the VID is no 0x1949 but, 18D1. 1949 is the VID for Kindle and I was told that 18D1 is the VID for google devices.
If your PC was set up and configured to work with google devices, I think you would be OK.
I had one person indicate their machine was configured to recognize either Kindle on Google Vendor IDs.
C:\Users\"your user name"\.android\adb_usb.ini
The file normally has 0x1949 listed in it which is the VID for Kindle.
Once cm10 is loaded the VID may no longer 0x1949.
I once tried to add 0x18D1 to the .android/ adb_usb.ini file located in the users base folder but, I did not have any better luck.
This issue happens quite a bit and there are lots of posts indicating that the PC will not recognize the tablet after loading one rom or another or just getting the tablet into one boot mode or another.

Thank for your response. I wasn't running CM10 on my KF 1st gen when I had this USB problem. To be honest, I don't even remember what's the name of the ROM I was running. All I have to say is that it was a very poor ROM, very unstable and it was missing a lot of features. For instance, when I went to Settings > Storage I would have no option to turn on the Mass Storage option.
I was so frustrated with this USB issue since I couldn't find a solution or help anywhere, so I decided to flash CM10.1 on my KF and now I have a very stable tablet. When I first tried to connect it to the pc after flashing, the PC didn't recognize it either. But at least I have the mass storage option in Settings > Storage.
Either way, the PC still doesn't recognize my tablet as an Android Phone. But I can get files from my KF to PC and vice versa.

Some ROMs just don't seem to work with Windows PCs. The latest CM/SG7 one works fine (early versions did not, the ones from around May going forward do). If all else fails, I've never had an issue getting USB to connect when using TWRP's option. A minor inconvenience, but there it is.

Some ROMs just don't seem to work with Windows PCs. The latest CM/SG7 one works fine (early versions did not, the ones from around May going forward do). If all else fails, I've never had an issue getting USB to connect when using TWRP's option. A minor inconvenience, but there it is.

This has been talked about several times, but for some reason no one ever seems to catch on.
You have to check the hardware IDs reported by your device in the Device Manager for every ROM you install, and make sure the information matches whatever is listed in your 'adb_usb.inf'.
