Just received my new Kindle Fire today and installed recovery right away with Jandycane. Forgot to install FFF so I cannot enter recovery mode anymore after I flashed the new ROM. Now I cannot enter ADB because it will not install adb drivers. I keep uninstalling the drivers and it will only install Amazon File-CD Gadget and USB drivers.
I kept trying to install Kindle Utility Drivers but to no avail, it keeps installing useless drivers. Anyway to force a fastboot without recovery and adb?
Please help. Am I screwed?
What do you mean by new are you sure this is a first gen kindle?
It's a replacement from Amazon.
100% sure it's first gen.
ADB was working fine before I flashed Jandycane on it. Realized I forgot FFF and now I cannot gain access to recovery or ADB.
Okay maybe I can help there were some driver changes do you have usb debugging enabled? Go to developer options and turn then on and enable usb debugging.
I do not.
Wow that was easy. Thank you
You may or may not be out of the water is adb online?
Online now. Thanks. I disabled it thinking it was for something entirely different.
FFF and Recovery working perfectly.
No prob.
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.

No root therefore no twrp

I tried following the guide however I cannot do the hardware ID bit because in device manager it doesn't show the hardware id. It just shows unknown device

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.
Please help. I've tried everything I can find on XDA and most of google with no luck. I'm not a NOOB, and have rooted and installed custom ROMS on lots of devices before without any problems, but this has me beat.
Now the basics....I'm running WIN8 64bit, but have a WIN7 32bit laptop.
I have installed the Kindle ADB drivers but whenever I connect the device in ADB mode, it only installs an MTP device. When I click on that and go to Properties-Hardware, it lists 3 Device functions;
Android Composite ADB Interface - Kindle Fire
Kindle - Portable device
USB Composite Device - USB controller.
It seems, no matter what I try, when I run adb devices in CMD (Admin Mode), it list DEVICES FOUND - BLANK.....
What am I doing wrong. All I want to do to start with is ROOT the thing, maybe add Google Apps and then consider a Custom ROM.
If anyone can help me, and please treat me as a complete NOOB, as it seems this is beyond me, I would appreciate it.
Thanks all in advance....

Well I too had this issue... Only thing that worked was installing Linux and running soupkit... Trust me this method works flawlessly!

Silly question but have you enabled adb on the tablet?

Spent the past two nights searching this site and others for a fix to this problem but have made no progress so I decided I would start a thread.
I rooted my new Kindle Fire 7 (5th gen) using FlashFire with CM 12 and it went smoothly, but then I discovered that the Kindle was not being recognized via USB anymore on any of my PCs. When I connected the USB cable to the computers, the Kindle would charge but Windows (I've tried 7, 8 and 10) wouldn't make the typical device connected sound nor would it attempt to install drivers or display any new devices within device manager. USB debugging was enabled and under storage options I tried both MTP and PTP. I also tried using at least three different USB cables, including the stock Kindle cable.
I decided to wipe and reinstall CM 12 but the problem remained, so I wiped once again and installed Nexus ROM. Still the problem persists. For the life of me I have not been able to find a solution anywhere online. I'm sure the USB port isn't damaged since I was able to successfully connect it to a PC when it was running the stock Amazon firmware, and that was only a few days ago.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
