[Q] Kindle fire not detected - "USB device not recognized"

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?

[Q] problems with kindlefire utility !

hi guys
how are you ?
hope you fine .
......................................................
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

i managed to delete it and rerun kfu and it worked.
if you can charge via cable, you are set.
reboot, reinstall drivers and then delete your .android folder while kindle plugged in

i doubt it due to the fact that windows still recognizes that it is plugged in. have you tried the unbrick utility yet? or booting linux and using soupkit?

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.

KFHD 8.9 not recognized as USB device

My rooted KFHD 8.9 is not recognized as a USB device on my computer. I have rebooted both the computer and Kindle several times. I even factory reset the Kindle twice. I have tried to uninstall the drivers, but they still stay on the computer. I don't know what else to do. I am having so many problems with this darn thing.

Same here. I am on windows 7.
The strange thing is that I can see device via adb interface commands but can't open it as a usb device.
As well I am having some issues with usb port on the device itself. It not always charging from the first time it is connected and I need to find a proper position of the usb cable in the device socket.

Can not get computer to recognize watch

Someone with more knowledge please help me.
I can not, for the life of me, get my computer to recognize my watch.
I've tried everything, I've tried installing the driver package another user posted.
I've enable usb debugging in dev settings.
I have adb working correctly but when I type adb devices it's blank.
The only glimmer of hope is I successfully connected my watch via bluetooth debugging and got a debugging dialog on my watch.
I've tried on two computers as well
I really need a detailed guide on how to get my computer to recognize this damn thing
Thanks - A very frustrated novice

Me too. Exact same situation. It was like i read my problem. Also i manage to unlock the device in fastboot mode. Adb in that mode is comunicating with the watch. Please help us. I dont know what to do anymore.

The watch has no driver compatible with w8. I try pdanet and nO result. Please advice?

Are you trying to connect while the watch is unlocked (screen on, not in ambient mode or off)?

Does your PC react at all when you plug in the USB cable? (Sorry if this is too basic.) Just wondering if its a bad charging cable.

Yes, my pc makes a noise and in my device manager the watch is identified as a Marshall London device. I think that's due to one of the many drivers I attempted to install. Thanks for your help by the way

I must say that i´ve also that problem on pc and notebook running windows 10. usb port plugged in an nothing happen, no device recognition or something else. tried different usb ports, different machines, nothing...
Any ideas?

I have some problem how to solve??Any one have solve?
Thx

I've posted this many times in the various Huawei forums and it has worked for everyone so far.
First, remove all other drivers using USBDeview.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
Then use this tutorial to manually install the Google USB driver.

Good luck!

If you are on win10 the builtin drivers and drivers you ask win10 to download are all you need. If you are on older platform like winxp or vista, try these:

The error you listed doesn't sound like a software problem. It sounds like there is a USB communication issue.
Even with no drivers installed, your PC should be able to get the USB device descriptor, otherwise it couldn't figure out which driver to use.

The thing is that I have other Android devices and when I plug them in USB debugging works fine. I think that it has to do with the Android N update because ever since I updated it never worked.

It's possible or it could be coincidental. My Android N update didn't affect my USB operations or USB ID at all though.
It could also be something went bad with your USB port on the phone.
See if there is any lint inside the port using bright pencil flashlight.
Also try different USB A to C cable if that is what you are using, sometimes cables go bad.

Lint/dust. Sometimes it gets into the port and interferes with the connections.
Airblow sometimes helps.
Just a shot in the dark.
