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
Alright So i rooted my fire tv stick v5.0.5, with kingroot 4.82, everything was working perfect, i blocked ota updates, and i froze the fireTV Home, and used firestarter. I rebooted the fire tv and it rebooted perfect, still had root, everything was great! I wanted to connect my playstation controller to it, but i couldnt access the fire tv settings because i froze the fire tv home and the built in settings is part of the fire tv home, i tried to install regular settings.apk, i tried several different ones but it would just fail installing, i thought my regular settings was interfering with it, so i backed it up and froze the fire tv settings just to try to install regular android settings afterward, and i rebooted the stick. Now my stick is stuck at the fire stick logo and wont boot, im sure its because i froze the settings, since it booted fine with root before i froze that, and that was the only change i did. Anyone got any ideas on how i can fix it?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I had the same issue with the FireTv Stick but another os.
I had a hardware rooted FireTv-Stick on Software: 54.1.1.0_user_110031420. That means FireOS 3, not FireOS 5.
Yesterday I let the stick push some file with ES-File-Explorer to my NAS. In this process the system restart (I think because to much power consumption and less powerfull usb port yesterday).
Now it does not start anymore. @deershoot3r
Perhaps we had a chance to get our sticks back by flashing a stock-rom from amazon.
Once I read something about fastboot and recovery possibilities.
At first you should load your stock-rom from here: http://www.aftvnews.com/software/
Perhaps we can connect a usb cable and start fastboot, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57308281&postcount=6

fastboot kicks in as soon as you power off your unit, if you get to the amazon logo it is already too late however fastboot will not work for you anyway as your firestick boot loader is locked.
Please push my amazon community topic:

Perhaps amazon help us and provide a solution!
But I need you guys!

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?
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.

this is only for kindle fire 1 (2011)
there is a separate section for your device see
Fire Index: Which Amazon (Kindle) Fire Do I have?
for correct forum link
so i have my kindle fire gen 1 with cyanogen mod and twrp installed i tried to do a factory reset with twrp and i think ive removed the os im trying to get the device to recognise via pc but it connects the disconnects within a second of conecting it wont turn on wont boot nothing ive tried a fast boot cable nothing with that either any ideas please people
I dumped amazon for forcing updates on my firestick. See if you can get back to stock using Fire-Iso 1?
Fire-Iso 2 requires you update way too much for the layman like me .
Also, lots of tools for that device on rootjunky.com 'scuse the external links admin, I see this as justified here
