I feel like that should be all. Go ahead and try, I doubt it can break anything since if ADB doesn't work then you won't be able to do much to the kindle
People seem to be having issues with connecting, mainly with windows. I offered to kilo to help with with pinpointing exactly why ADB won't work for some people (most likely driver issues) and then letting everyone know EXACTLY what to do when they have issues.

I tried to root my kindle fire but failed... Then i proceed to do a factory reset from the kindle fire, after reboot I stuck on kindle fire screen.
I have already installed Kindle Fire TWRP.
under my kindle utility it shows my boot status as unknown.
please help!!! Many thanks....
I just hope can reset to its original setting.
If you can boot into TWRP kfu will recognize it.. if not then you should mount it in TWRP...

Not to be rude but try searching for your answers.. I picked up a KF last night for my fiancée it was rooted but restored to stock rom.. I tried getting it to allow prime videos and hosed it up big time. I I was getting fire logos loops all kinds of madness but I hopped on xda did some research now her kf is working with prime video and side installed apps and ADW Launcher as well as stock kf launcher..

hi prasket...
I am sorry if i sounded like i did not do any searching or research on resolving this issue..
In fact i have been searching on the webby for the whole day looking for the answers and found many.. but none were able to work for me... It may be due to my limited capabilities in understanding and therefore i am seeking for help in this forum...
I believe the purpose of this forum is to share and help out everyone in any way possible.... Its good that you have bought a KF for your finacee but i dun see any rationale in boasting here what you have achieved... not everyone is able to resolve everything just by doing some research like you.
I am just a sincere noob KF user who is looking for some help... Appreciate if i can have some constructive comments instead... thanks

My suggestion would be to take some time out to read over the first two posts in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
The first will help you get some basic understanding of how these pieces fit together. If you are using Windows, the second makes sure you have the device drivers installed correctly. Once you've done that, you'll want to set the bootmode on your device back to normal using KFU. Provided the Kindle Fire software is working correctly, you should be able to reboot and get it working normally again.

If you're still having trouble, try using zombiepiratez's unbrick utility

I had a similar problem and was able to fix it using the utility
Hello, everyone. I'm having some trouble trying to figure out how to install twrp so I can flash my Kindle Fire with ICS.
I'm having a lot of trouble trying to figure it out for some reason, this is what I've done so far.
I couldn't figure out how to properly set up the Kindle Fire Utility so I looked for an alternative
and managed to root my Kindle Fire with "QemuRoot_v1.0". After it worked, I went back to
KFU and installed the the google apps/play store using "Kindle_Fire_Utility_v0.9.6".
So the Kindle Fire is rooted and found this guide on how to install twrp but I can't figure out
how to configure it. I have installed terminal emulator, busybox, and goomanager but didn't
see the file I needed "devs/smirkis" so I downloaded the dropbox link.
I'm not sure were I should put the zip or how to flash it, different forums suggested using
a file manager and changing the extension to .apk but it doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Okay your headed south with this one real fast. Do you have a 1st gen. Kindle or 2nd because if it's a 2nd gen you cannot install a recovery or ics. QemuRoot_v1.0 is for the 2nd gen. Kindle small chance it could work on 1st gen. but I doubt it, which leads me to believe your kindle is 2nd gen. and your headed towards a permanent brick that there's no rescue for.
I'm gonna agree with The Pooch here, but if by a slim chance that your kindke is a first gwn, then you could just put the smirkit scripts into system/ect and try running them from terminal your self but I wpulnd recommend it because we aren't sure about your kindle yet..

Hmm.. I'm note entirely sure what it is. It's the 7in Display with 8Gb; was 159 and has the ads on lock screen (can't be taken away). Like I said I was only able to get QemuRoot_v1.0 to work, at the moment I have the Play Store, and a bunch of other apps like the terminal and droidwall.
I assume that the 2nd gen could be the Kindle Fire HD? Sorry about the late reply.
Yeah its 2nd gen. like I said do not attempt to flash a recovery or a bootloader to that device or it will be permanently bricked a really fine 159$ hockey puck!!!
hello.
I write this post because right now I'm desperate. my kinde fire was rooted and works great. I wanted to install an unofficial ROM and there came all problems.
first of all I want to say that I resort to this message because I've tried everything, but I did manage to save my device.
My Kindle was rooted and TWRP works well. I inadvertently left the device without an operating system. I forgot to put a rom after you wipe. After this, when the device booted, first came out the white and orange logo, then white and blue recovery and eventually returned to the first logo.
First I tried to recover it with the original firmware. I could not access the device via the file browser windows, so I copied the. zip with adb push. after several attempts I went to plan B, because I always got the same "error 7", so I tried to install the cyanogen rom, but I had the same fate.
After that, I was reading about fastboot, so I downloaded kindle fire utility. I think something went here even worse, because now TWRP gone.
I finally discovered unbrick kindle utility, but now my pc does not recognize the device. drivers are installed and kindle fire utility says "adb: online", but I can not access the device.
I searched a lot of information, but I think I am increasingly far from the solution, so I decided to write this post.
anyone can help me to recover the kindle? I'm desperate now. I'd like to have everything as before, I do not lose the root
thanks!!!

This forum is full of people doing the same thing. Why do people keep using tools that will brick their device, even though there are other posts saying it will happen.
Frustrating.

chronicfathead, the problem has no solution? is there any way to recover the bootloader?
Finally, I got in touch with Amazon. I explained my problem and they will send me a new one because it was under warranty.

Hi. I was just commenting that a lot of people are rushing into doing things without reading, or even checking what model they have. Admittedly Amazon hasn't made it easy by advertising it as the Kindle Fire 2. All the recent posts in this section of the forum are from people bricking their devices, mainly because they did something wrong.
I don't know how the situation can be changed, apart from building some checks into the KF1 rooting/modding tools.

Ok. I have already received my new kindle fire 2. I was lucky it was under warranty. Now I have to return the old and noticing more if I decide to put a new rom.
thanks anyway for your help
Ok i am trying to prep my KF2 for custom rom install and can't find any rooting method for 6.3.2. So i tried to update to the latest stock software on the KF2 and nothing work, sync for over the air wifi and manual nothing takes. I reset to factory clean and still won't take best i get is the update button will light up once i place the update on the kindle but all it does it start to update then deletes the file from itself! KFU is only for first gen and will brick my device, can't install ADB drivers and wouldn't matter if i did at this point for 6.3.2 on the KF2 has no option to enable such feature. About all i have done was install the SDK for android provided in the KF2 root forums. I am totally new to this and want to rid myself of amazon rom and its limitations so any help on how to root 6.3.2 on a second gen kindle fire would be greatly appreciated.
There is no 6.3.2 for the kf2.
I think you may have an original kindle

Seems i can't install the drivers provided with KF utility running win8 x64

You have to boot up in unsigned driver mode and install the drivers manually through device manager
Just be careful. Make sure you only follow directions in the first gen forums. The model number is the same for first and second generation, but the device is way different. You can always tell which one you have by the software version.

I am hoping that someone may be able to give me some advise or point in the correct direction. I have read and search for months and have not found anything that works in rooting my kindle fire 1st gen v.6.3.3. I have tried using windows and linux pc's and nothing seems to work for me.
So I gues the first question is .....Can this kindle fire be rooted ?
second ....................................What method and proceedure works ?
I have adb installed, I have tried Soupkit, RootPlus, Burrito, KFU (all versions) just to name a few of the methods that I have tried. Nothing works, the kindle fire just keeps right on ticking the Amazon way.
Any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
