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
I have a strange issue that my rooted Fire TV 1 will only boot with an USB flash drive connected. Without it I only get a white flashing light and no picture after the first Amazon logo.
There is nothing on the drive and every drive works, size is irrelevant.
That the system works with a flash drive attached was discovered by accident when I connected my USB hub with a keyboard and flash drive to the Fire TV to get into recovery.
Has anyone a idea or explanation about what happend here to my system?
Fire tv has been working great since i got it a few years ago. Over the weekend i got this message - Optimizing system storage and applications.
Sits at this screen even if i reboot it.
Called amazon but they didnt help at all.
Anyone had this issue or got a fix?
No custom ROM, just stock.
Can i force a restore with a USB pen ADB?
Thanks
I've the first problem here! It's the FireTV 1st Gen form 2014. I don't want to buy a new one because of Passtrough problems with Denon and Kodi.
I've testet my Logitech Multimedia Keyboard to get into Recovery but it there is nothing happen...Only Amazon brand and the picture with "Optimizing system storage and applications..." Beside of Kodi i didn't modified the FireTV.
i had this happen as well but was able to boot into recovery to delete cache, data and everything else. after that it worked fine. the best bet for an unrooted aftv is probably this procedure :

Thanks for your help. I tried to get into recovery with a Keyboard. I took a Logitech Corded Multimedia Keyboard but I can't get into recovery mode with Alt+Print+l
I repeated it severeal times. On my keyboards aren't any LED lighted so i don't know if the FTV realize that a Keyboard is connected. Is there any other way?
I testet a A-A USB Cable to connect with my PC but i find no device with fastboot.
Hi, I am having exactly the same problems as Ottacon. Fire TV 1 with stock - non rooted, stuck at boot 'optimizing......'
Keyboard Alt+print+i trick doesn't work, as no lights on keyboard, as if no power from usb.
Any way out of this or is it a brick forever?
Any help much appreciated.

Hey I was wondering if its possible to have the Fire TV Stick 2nd Gen (Tank Version) to be able to boot into TWRP once plugged in with an usb otg cable like the 4K Fire TV Stick? As I do more testings on the (Tank), it gets super annoying being forced to rerun the exploit again so if anybody has a way to make this happen, that'd be very helpful!!!

Hi there,
You can run boot-recovery.sh which will force the device to boot recovery.
Porting the "OTG TWRP" requires modifying the lk-payload so good luck
Regards!
