[Q]Help! PC doesn't recognize Kindle Fire after root

Hello, guys,
I recently rooted my Fire (6.2.2) with Kindle Fire Utility (0.9.3). Kindle is working but my PC (Win7 32) can't recognize it when i'm connecting kindle to PC. And Kindle Fire Utility can't connect to device since then (statusffline).
Maybe I forgotten to switch to normal mode?
How can I fix this?
Thanks.

With your Kindle plugged in and with KFU (even if it says it is offline), press 1 for Bootmode Menu and select Normal.

I tried to do this. Got the message "kindle told to reload in normal mode". Kindle reloaded but the problem left.

Sounds like you may have to reload your drivers. Is the computer recognizing the Kindle at all. I had the problem when trying to load files to the SD card that it would not show up as a storage device. I unchecked USB debugging and it showed up. If you are trying to establish an ADB connection you may want to check your ADB setup.
Try cd C:\kindleadb
adb devices
This will tell you if your ADB connection is working.
Maybe this video will help.

I tried to reinstall drivers from Kindle Fire utility few times. No result. Is there any way to wipe them from system?

Gives empty output. I'm using adb bundled with Kindle Fire Utility

The same thing happened to me and I just deleted all the files that were associated with the ADB and KFU and reloaded everything. Before you do that you can go into device manager and pull up the properties for unknown device(kindle) go into update drivers and point to the file you downloaded when installing KFU.
I used this video to root mine and the part on installing the drivers works. Make sure you download the driver files attached to the video. Look under "show more" --Links in the video description.
Hope this is helping and not making you more confused.

The problem solved. It was Windows drivers problem. I've got a USB-stick in another slot during all operations. When I removed it everything worked normally. My motherboard is Asus P5G41T-M.
Thanks to everybody who tried to help.

I have attempted several different fixes to get my rooted KF recognized by PCs running VISTA and XP to no avail. My KF is looping TWRP v2.0.0, so I have concluded. Yet if not PC can recognize it as a device...well, please give me your thoughts and suggestions.

[Q] Is it possible for KFU to work on XP?

I really would like to now if it is possible, in any way, to run Kindle Fire Utility on Windows XP. I've tried several times but it still says: ADB status; Offline. And yes I installed the drivers but I don't think they worked correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, I did KFU with Windows XP on a comptuer that's about 8years old. The drivers should still work, but I found you can't do the auto-install fo the drivers,
Download and Install KFU, extract and move to the directory in the directions (I think it's c:\KFU)
Plug in your kindle and point it to the drivers in the KFU folder.
(NOTE: I can't remember the name off the top fo my head as I'm not at my PC, but it did require me to download a file when I pointed it to the drivers when it was in fastboot. to get it to work once in Fastboot, they were easily found and downloaded)
Note2: I had to use the command line to get it out of fastboot as It was stuck in a boot-loop for a few min while I found the thread.

Yep, I used XP.
You have to manually install the drivers.
Search Youtube for nat3mil - he has a vid showing how to manually install the drivers.

OK, I'll try that. Thank you very much.

yes, but not easily...
I successfully accomplished it yesterday. After reading how easy it was I figured I would give it a try.
Three hours later I had it successfully completed.
My problem was, you guessed it, DRIVERS! My Laptop is running XP Pro SP3 and I have had multiple android devices attached to it. I removed and installed drivers several time never with any luck.
So I borrowed my daughters netbook and started with that. I installed the drivers and opened KFU. It recognized my kindle right off so I chose menu option 2 It blew through it until it got to installing FFF (best I could tell ) and froze rebooting at the KINDLEFire logo. I left it alone for about 45 minutes hoping it would continue on it own...but no luck.
After waiting I shut down KFU and unplugged my kindle. I held the power button for about 30 seconds to shut it down and waited 5 minutes before restarting it. No luck, it booted to the logo and hung. I repeated this process about a dozen time with no luck.
Getting concerned at this point but not panicking yet, I plugged it into the netbook again, started KFU and rebooted the kindle. The whole time it booted I kept pressing the power button repeatedly while telling KFU to recheck the connection. After about 5 minute of this it recognized it, I reran option 2 and it completed.
So, yes it worked.

uninstall the current drivers, install the adb drivers, ignoring all errors, try again, PROFIT

Ok so for the past three days I was encountering the same issues running Windows XP, KF2 V. 10.2.6 and my computer would not recognize my kindle even after installing adb drivers and a small window opening after the plug in and saying that an adb device was installed. After much research I was able to figure it out. These are the steps I took:
::FIRST THINGS FIRST::
the steps found on this link DO work; however as I stated above my computer refused to recognize my kf2.
Link:: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36122126
Being that the adb drivers didn't work, on my windows xp, that were made available via QEMU's thread
Link:: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893838
Go to this link: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/setup.html#step4
and download then extract. Once this is done follow the steps listed.
Once this is done go back to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36122126
{{{ i would suggest open Bin4arys root and Qemu in different tabs }}}
And follow the steps.
The first being Bin4rys Root steps.
Side note::When you get to the part of opening the RUNME.BAT have the kindle unplugged follow instructions and once prompted plug in the KF2.
The second being Qemu's root.
---Again all steps found on this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36122126
Good luck, if you're confused just pm me and I will do my best to help out.
The downloading of the sdk manager took me awhile so be patient, it's totally worth the root because I basically have a fully capable android tablet.
Cheers!

Just update the fastboot executables... u might download android sdk.. its better..

[Q] Root Kindle Fire 6.3.2

Hi...
Thanks for the linky, i grabbed it today and for some reason, it's not detecting my device. I've installed/reinstalled the drivers that came down with v0.9.8, still same results. Shows the driver Android ADB Device
When I run the option 2 to install root & superuser error encountered. We are unable to locate your kindle fire. Fastboot uses a different device than ADB. ck device mgr for Kindle or Amazon (when looking, neither are listed.)
So tried to just boot it to FastBoot and same results, device not found.
So being dummy me, i ran the Run script as admin, now i get the Tools\wget cannot be found. Thought maybe it was a long file name issue, so copied folder to c:\temp\ - still same results.
What am I doing wrong here guys?
Thanks in advance and thank you for the work you do for us idiots.

Put everything back where it belongs first. Also, your computer recognizes the kindle as an Android adb device in device manager? You are on 6.3.2 also?

I'm on 6.3.2.
It was seeing it as android adb.
I do have it on 1.4.a as well.
I did remove all of the drivers to the point win7 was showing kindle with an !. Reinstalled and rec'd same results. Got pissed at it and removed drivers again rebooted and removed the files under .android. When I get a chance, i'll try reinstall. Maybe by manually deleting the inf file will do some good???. I'll update the post when I have a chance to work on it.

Have you tried running KFU under compatibility for Windows XP SP3? Once you do that, it'll automatically ask for admin privileges.
Also, does your device show when you run the command
adb devices

The one that ichigo said is good.

So I was using the new KFU 9.8+ on my first gen kindle (6.3.2)
and during the procedure while I think it was attempting to install FFF bootloader it was on <waiting for device>, my laptop lost batter life and shut down. Upon booting up my computer and trying KFU again
ADB Status: Offline
Boot Status: Unknown
My kindle now displays the logo. I assume it's bricked right now.
Are there any remedies to fix this?

It is on the orange logo? And it won't boot properly? So the kindle just stays on that screen without getting dim or anything, right?

I know how to delete the .android folder, but how can I be sure that the deleted drivers are the one associated with adb and not with other programs ? are those the drivers in Windows/system32 ?
How do you do that ?

The .android folder is found under the root of your sdcard or you ext-sd. To remover the drivers:
If you are on Windows 7/8:​
Hit the "Start" button on the keyboard, and when the homescreen (Windows 8) or the Start dialogue (Windows 7) pops up, type in "Add or remove".
Hit enter on the highlighted option, which should be "Add or remove programs". (Note: You may have to go into the settings tab if you are running a search on Windows 8)
This will show you a window where all the apps that are currently installed on your computer shows up. (Metro apps don't show up here.) Look through the list until you find your KF drivers. This should be listed as something like this: Kindle Fire Drivers
Highlight the driver and look towards the top of the window. You should see that a "Change/uninstall" button has popped up. Click on that and follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall the drivers.
You're done!
If you are on an older version of Windows:​
The procedure is the same, only you have to go into Control Panel > Add or remove programs to do this.
Good luck rooting your KF. :good:

I have the same error.
What i did was...
1. Download KFU 0.9.9 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192818)
2. Download TWRP (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/blaze)
3. Download FFF (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369405)
4. I rename them as "twrp" and "fff" respectively and place them in the "recovery" folder in KFU
5. I manually install the drivers
6. I check in the device manager to show me "Android Phone - Android Composite ADB interface"
7. I run the KFU
and that was all...
I check the root was complete with the https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5qb2V5a3JpbS5yb290Y2hlY2siXQ..

*Takes a deeeeep breath* okay, I thought it looked like the most promising instructions I've found so far too... so, from a TOTAL novice at all of this, here goes! Thanks for the endorsement ( I will definately thank him too! )

So, I went through all the steps outlined by xarenmi, but it STILL doesn't recognize my kindle when I try to use the run tool.
I'm not the best with all this, so...

Help...
Hey, I finally got the google winusb driver installed (I had to do it via SDK manger) but it still recognizes my kindle as "kindle" under "other devices" in the device manager. Also the KFU will not recognize it.. period. just nothing and I'm getting really fed up.
I have followed all instuctions to the T and I am still having issues.

Odd Problem

So as the title suggests I have a bit of problem.
Problem: Kindle fire (gen1 6.3.2) won't show up on adb or as a connected device (Windows 7, previously worked fine)
How I got there.....
So I ran KFU 9.8+ so I could root and install JellyBean
It was
< waiting for device >
trying to install fff
and it was taking a long time so I closed the window to try again.
This left my kindle in fastboot.
After trying KFU again it wouldn't recognize the device.
So I used fastboot and booted into twrp off of my computer.
From there I got to the regular twrp screen, and decided it would be a good idea to root my device from twrp.
So it booted up and I got a notification to finish the root process, which it prompted me to download SuperSu.
It booted up and tried to install the update.zip which failed and booted up normally.
So now I can't connect over adb, and windows 7 doesn't recognize it at all.
I'm trying to find a way to get firefirefire on it so it won't fail when it tries to root itself.
I did a system restore on my kindle, notification still pops up.
I tried booting it into fastboot with KFU, without luck.
As of now the kindle boots pretty much normally and works fine except for connecting over usb.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What i would do of i were you is uninstall everything on your computer that is related to the kindle. Do you have another computer you can this Kindle on to make sure that it isn't a driver instead of your computer.

Oddly enough my kindle shows up just fine on my mac, and a win7 desktop.
Although on the windows machine there was a problem installing drivers, but it still popped up as a removable drive.
Do you think i'd be able to run KFU on it again without any hiccups?
Also along with that, how long should I let it run?
Is this a 5 minute procedure or like 30min?

You can check to see if ADB sees the device. If it does then you should be able to use KFU. It's been a while since i used the KFU as i have been rooted for a few months and have forgotten what it has inside it.
I will recommend to always check your adb and make sure it works because from ADB you can tell the device to do a variety of different things. This came extremely helpful when i was working on my gf's Insprie 4G and i by accident froze the device.
Also, this procedure is really fast. I've rooted a bunch of devices and they all take no more then 10 mins. Unless you have an HTC device and have to get the bootloader unlock from HTC (as in the Inspire).
