[Q] Kindle Fire shows up as a Disk Drive in devmgr, can't update driver - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Windows 7 has my Kindle Fire listed as a Disk Drive, and when I try to update the driver so that ADB can read it Windows won't allow me to because android_winusb.inf is not a Disk driver.
Then I tried to uninstall the Kindle Fire driver and it simply immediately reinstalls itself the moment I restart the computer or plug the device back in, and it reinstalls as a disk drive...
Basically, I need help figuring out how reset the way Windows 7 recognizes my Kindle so that I can install the updated android_winusb.inf
How I got to this point
I installed the Kindle Fire on my Windows 7 computer through the device manager using the android_winusb.inf driver from the android-sdk/extras folder.
Couldn't connect to adb, but then I realized I needed to add the: [source]
Code:
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_0
to it in order for ADB to recognize it. So I modified android_winusb.inf and added the two lines. But, now I can't install the new modified driver because of what was stated above...​

Take it out of USB mode. Is it listed in Other Devices or Android Phone?

It is listed under Disk Drives (Device Manager) - which is also the reason why Windows 7 now won't allow me to update the drivers using android_winusb.inf - this is regardless of whether the sd card is mounted or not.
android_winusb.inf isn't a Disk driver.

Had this same problem, its because your computer was set up to run ADB before so it recognizes the kindle as Android and auto installs drivers that you have for it, unfortunately these drivers don't let you use ADB, go to android phone at the top and follow the steps to update the driver on the device under that instead.

Get this working
did the original poster get this working?? My machine will only recognize it as an MTP device now ... how do I stop it from applying those drivers??

(TIPS) Rooting!

Hey guys, I just wanted to post something that might help out some people, in case perhaps their USB Drivers don't work, or they can't get odin to recognize their device.
Note: I do not claim these to be definite answers. These are just things I have discovered to work.
1.) My computer won't recognize my phone! What do I do?
A.) Try this. Download the USB drivers from (possibly) another post here on XDA, or install the Samsung Kies application.
Then, get an application to extract the driver software, such as uniextract.
Extract the installer to a directory of your choice: (For simplicity, I say Desktop)

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, go into Control Panel>Device Manager
Go to your device; It might be listed as "Unknown" and right click it.
Go to "Update Driver Software" and then click "Browse my computer"
Locate the Directory you extracted the installer to, and then click "Next"
wait for it to finish, then you're done!
Note! If it does this again, your device may show up as a modem. If so, just recreate the steps, and it will work.
2.) Odin doesn't show my device!
A.) If you just got done doing the steps above, you need to restart your computer. If not, check to make sure your phone is in Download mode. If still it does not recognize it, make sure you have "USB debugging" enabled in developer settings.
ATM, these were the only things I kept getting stuck at; if you have any more info on how we could help out some of the noobs (like me),
please reply!
Thanks!
NOTE! I forgot to mention, taht if you had previously installed drivers, YOU HAVE TO UNINSTALL THOSE! Otherwise, it will not work.

[Q] Windows 7 doesn't recognize phone

I have a stock AT&T HTC One X, trying to root my phone.
I've downloaded everything I need, but I can't connect my phone via USB. I've downloaded various drivers from here and HTC Sync Manager, but that doesn't help.
All I'm getting is this whenever I connect via USB

Also, every time I install a driver, a command prompt window shows up with the words "Access Denied", spazzes out, and disappears. The installation never said it was finish, so I'm guessing it never worked.
Without it, I can't get to the command prompt of the ADB and Fastboot.
On my Windows 8 laptop, I'm capable of connecting with the right drivers, but Windows 8 isn't compatible with fastboot.

Wrong forum go to Evita go to ONE XL forum. This is for Endeavoru

Can't get my phone to come up in Windows....

Okay, I actually have an older HTC Evo and there is no support on that forum anymore....
So forced to post here, hoping someone can help.
Anyways, I am just trying to re-flash the ROM, and want to put an old SENSE HTC install back on it, but cannot get my Windows 7 computer to recognize the phone. Fails to load the device driver.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Install HTC Sync to your computer. It will download and install the latest drivers to your PC. Also make sure your SDK is up to date. Lastly, make sure you have USB debugging enabled on your phone. If you continue to have problems, you may have an issue with your USB port on your computer or you may need to try a different USB cable.

I installed SYNC manager on my computer as well as the Android SDK pack and installed the Google USB Driver there too.
It's like it sees the phone as a drive, but it's like it doesn't think there is an SD card there (see below). I wonder if somehow the SD card is not "mounted"? I don't know. Any help appreciated. I can see the SD card just fine from the Restore menus on the phone.

ADB push using CWM recovery/ How to install the drivers FOR USB MASS STORAGE

Accidentally i wiped out everything, including the os, and the usb mass storage from cwm recovery didnt work. Tried to install twrp recovery aswell, but the touch was unresponsive. Even tough, i found out MYSELF that i can manually install the adb drivers by going to device manager ( right click in my computer/ properties/ device manager) and updating the driver software.
IMPORTANT- YOU MUST HAVE HTC DRIVERS INSTALLED, NO NEED FOR HTC SYNC!
Follow these simple instructions:
1) right click on one( this is supposed to be your one X)
http://postimage.org/
2) browse my comp for driver software
http://postimage.org/app.php
3) pick from a list of device drivers
http://postimage.org/
4) highlight android usb devices
http://postimage.org/
5) highlight my htc
http://postimage.org/app.php
6) click yes
http://postimage.org/
7) and done, your adb drivers should work from now on
http://postimage.org/app.php
8)
http://postimage.org/app.php
Now, for getting usb mass storage in CWM work, follow these instructions:

-right click on the SECOND my htc
-update driver software
-browse my comp for driver software
-pick from a list for device drivers
-highlight usb mass storage device
-next and VOILA!
Now usb mass storage mount should work properly
Sorry if this thread already exist, but in my researches i couldnt find it
I found installing the drivers quite a hassle if you don't know how it works, especially that ADB needed different drivers than fastboot. In conclusion thank you, it will probably help some people

Stuck on blue and white, can't fastboot/adb as "waiting for device"

Hello Guys! Please please can anyone help???
:crying:Sorry for this, I have looked and looked for a solution to this, many have asked and no-one seemed to solve it.
Kindle Fire HD 8.9", I think I accidentally deleted the OS in recovery, and now I'm stuck on the blue and white boot screen (so i have fff bootloader). If I switch it off and plug it into the windows 7 pc, it goes orange, then blue boot and sticks there.
I devices, it showed up as "Kindle", I followed instructions to install adb drivers - install java, install android sdk, lookup hardware id and paste it into android_winusb.inf, type 0x1949 into adb_usb.ini, and install drivers from google folder.
So I've got it showing up as Android Composite ADB device.
If I do "adb devices" in a command prompt it shows as 12345ABCDEFG or something as "unauthorised device".
Any fastboot commands just get "waiting for device"
At one point windows tried to install drivers for jem....., but then gave up and I can't get it to try again!
I've tried on 3 different pc's windows 8 64 bit, windows 7 32 and 64 bit.
Tried disabling all antivirus etc, tried disabling driver signature enforcement.
Does anyone at all have a solution to this?
I've done adb kill-server about a hundred times!
Many thanks for looking!
Sally
I've tried 6 different cables too, and all the pcs have been restarted several times

;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D002
Is this wrong maybe?
