Howdy all - hopefully I can find some help here. I had a previously rooted Kindle Fire 8.9 that my son got into TWRP and deleted the partitions. I am attempting to restore my kindle, but I am having an issue where the Kindle will not attach to my PC. When I turn on the kindle, it connects (I can see it appear in the Device Manager) and then immediately disconnects. I have tried multiple drivers, I have tried removing all drivers, I have tried multiple PCs. Nothing seems to let this Kindle remain connected via USB to my PC.
I will buy anyone that solves this a beer. Or two.

Kindle Fire HD 8.9" or Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"?
It is model 3HT7G, which I believe is the Kindle Fire HD 8.9".

I have a Kindle Fire 2. I received it in this state and do not know exactly what was done previously.
On power up, it goes to the Kindle Fire logo, then to a blank screen. All I can do here is hold down power to power it off.
I have a factory original cable. Connecting to a PC, it goes to a fastboot screen with a green/red traffic light with the green light flashing. If I use a PC that previously had a Kindle Fire connected, the device is recognized. However, I get "device not found" or similar when attempting to use any options on the Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility 1.1, or Kindle Fire Utility.
On a PC that did not have a Kindle Fire previously connected, device manager sees it as an unknown device (or rather a particular non-Kindle device--don't have it here it with me and will update with that info if it is relevant). I have loaded drivers using ADB but the PC does not recognize it as a Kindle. As I expected, neither utility recognizes the connected Kindle here either.
Any advice on where to go from here? The hurdle seems to be just getting the PC talking to the Kindle and I'm not sure how to proceed.
I got the same problem, any helps
Sorry, I never got it working. It's collecting dust at the moment.

Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility 1.1, and Kindle Fire Utility are for the Kindle Fire 1 only
I used the Kindle Fire Utility to root my Kindle 6.3.2 and then I screwed up. I think I accidentally used the 'Advanced Wipe' feature in TWRP and killed my Kindle.
Right now I can boot my Kindle to the TWRP recovery no problem. But I cannot get my PC to see the device so that I can sideload CyanogenMod or something similar.
When I plug my Kindle into my Win 7 PC it dings, it sees the usb connection, the and Kindle starts recharging so I know there is some connection. In Device Manager it shows that I have an Android ABD device.
But I cannot see the Kindle in Explorer so I can move the CyanogenMod .zip over to the kindle for installation.
I've tried every USB driver in the book and I am out of ideas. Also, I am a n00b at this so I hope I used all the terms correctly.
Help!
PS: As a side note, does Google Play still work with CyanogenMod? That is what started this whole mess - my CM Kindle would not recognize my Google Play games.
Thanks
Hello,
a few days ago my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 updated itself to 8.5.1 (8.5.1_user_5156220) firmware. The root was lost as a result of this firmware update. Now I want to re-root Kindle but can't connect it to PC The ADB is turned ON in the settings but neither of my 2 laptops with Vista or Windows7 can't see the Kindle connected. After I'm connecting Kindle via USB there is absolutely no reaction from Windows, neither it can see it connected as USB drive nor it request any kind of drivers or shows Kindle as unidentified device.
Maybe someone have any experience with the new firmware and rooting Kindle after 8.5.1 update or any similar problems?
Thanks!
You might try toggling the adb on and off. I've been able to connect over ADB and even root but after root the kindle is unusable as its slow and the graphics are messed up. This used to happen during root and a reboot would fix it now it stays in that state.
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.
And wireless is can not switch from off to on.
Your help will be appreciated
Hi, all
I’m a newbie he and I extremely need your support and sorry if I’m starting threat in wrong place. I have my Kindle Fire HD7 2012 TATE bricked during installing a custom ROM. I’ve searched everything but had no chance to find the similar issue solution described.
First I had it stuck on a Kindle Fire logo after rebooting from TWRP after flashing stock ROM again (probably was some problem with a bootmode). Device stopped on Kindle Fire logo and has no reaction. Then I’ve got a factory cable and was able to enter the fastboot and tried change the bootmode with KindleFire Utility and something gone wrong. KF turned off and just sometimes turns on and goes to fastboot (even with ordinary usb cable) just for couple seconds and turns off again. When I connect KF to PC it tries to connect and I hear connect and disconnect USB devise sound constantly. PC even tries to install some drivers for some reason (actually I have KF drivers and ABD installed properly as I it checked with another Kindle).
Probably the battery is low, as I haven’t charged it for some time and I’m not sure it was charging while was connected when stuck a KF logo.
Does anyone has any idea? Please help!!!! I will really appreciate any support and thanks to all of you in advance.
