The older kindle 6.x.x shows up as a drive and it is easy for me to move files graphically/via the GUI. I'm having trouble doing it with this version. I just rooted it if it matters. Is there a solution?

I assume the old kindle mounts as usb mass storage. The new kindles mount as mtp. You must manually mount the mtp drive in ubuntu. Windows should automatically mount mtp.

Thanks, please excuse my ignorance but how do I do that? I'll try searching for an answer in the meantime and see who gets back here first.
I think I figured it out. Here's what I did.
sudo apt-get install mtp-tools mtpfs

Maybe not. Nothing I move via the GUI is showing up on the kindle. Incredibly frustrated that I can't move files to my kindle.
I use a program called gMTP. Works perfectly.

I tried gMTP before, when I could only boot into TWRP (I needed to copy a rom to flash!)
But gMTP works a lot better when you have a working rom :laugh:

I recently had to revert back to stock so my internal memory was wiped. I wiped everything in CWR in preparation for a ROM, but I forgot to add that ROM back to the memory. How do I place a zip through fastboot to the internal memory?
Thank you!

Go to recovery, mounts and storage, mount USB storage and it will show in your computer.
Drag and drop.

You don't have mounts and storage option in cwm?
Or you don't have mount USB storage?
I just checked and I have it.
If you can't mount the storage then chances are you will have to flash stock images via fastboot.
Do you have the Android SDK package? If so you can adb push it to your sdcard.
Could also try Droid Explorer, QTadb, et al, although I've never used those particular programs.

you should have it..try with volume down to see it (even if u are on the touch version)
EDIT: it seems removed since it doesn't work with the GN..the gn only work with the MTP and not with the usb mass storage..the same for the non-touch cwm, even if the option is there, it does not work

It's fairly straight forward.
Easiest to place the ROM in the platform-tools folder, that way you don't have to type or copy/paste a long convoluted file path.
Open command prompt within platform-tools and type (don't type quotes):
"adb devices" (this will tell you if it's seeing your phone, not a necessary step)
"adb push ROMFileName.zip /sdcard/" (don't forget the file extension .zip)
It won't work if there happen to be spaces in the file name, so edit the name before hand if necessary.

I had to become familiar with adb when running the SGS2 on CM9, kernel sources weren't out so MTP was broken, and adb was the easiest option for me.

I haven't used it since I had my Sony Ericsson x8, got the nexus S after that and just used fastboot after that to flash cwm and that to flash a rooted rom so I never really needed it!
Time to brush up on my adb skills I think!
updating adb drivers now
Ugh, disregard, perhaps I was smoking crack, or I have different drivers on my home PC. No luck from my work PC at the moment.
Edit: you have to mount /data, but if you're not seeing mounts and storage that's an issue. I'm confused as to why they're not there.
Not having mounts and storage in cwm is quite strange.
If adb won't recognise the device then maybe try fastboot flash another recovery and see if it has mounts and storage.
Okay, I'm freaking out a little bit.
The one app I use more than any other is Doggcatcher. It been my most-used app since my first G1. Well, I recently flashed the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM on my VZW GN, and now it seems that Doggcatcher can no longer save anything to the sdcard directory (either sdcard or storage/sdcard0).
What did I do wrong? I had Jelly Bean working on my phone for a while, but my GN's charge port broke and I received a replacement. I believe I restored a nandroid backup of my previous Jelly Bean install (which was a different ROM), and that's when my problems started. When I installed the AOKP ROM I wiped everything, but I still can't get Doggcatcher to save a single file. It seems other apps have trouble storing anything on the phone too, which is clearly a huge problem.
So what do I do? Please help! I'll offer any information I can.
Seems like permission is bit messed up. Have you don't anything that might've changed the permission?
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz

Certainly nothing on purpose. I just flashed these ROMs in the way I would have thought I was supposed to. I loaded ClockworkMod and flashed the zip file from AOKP.
I really have no idea what I might have done or what to do now. I'm completely fine with wiping my phone, I just need to know how to start over!
If you have any directories/files that you can't modify or delete, then boot into CWM recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Also make sure that /data is mounted in the CWM mounts menu. Then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *

My friend, you are a genius. THANK YOU SO DAMN MUCH!! Seriously, you rock like crazy.
I followed your instructions (I had to learn how to get into the adb shell but that wasn't too tough), restarted the phone, and immediately tried downloading a podcast episode. I then pumped my fist in the air when I saw it successfully downloading.
Again, thank you so much. You rock.

Still, you helped, solved my problem, and fixed a problem for me in a week that's been filled with nothing BUT problems in other parts of my life, so I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.
FYI, I also posted your answer, along with a link to this thread, on the Doggcatcher forums where I also asked for help on this issue, when I thought it was just a problem with that app. I quoted your answer and gave you the credit, in case there's ever a future breakdown in the link I used

thanks so much for this!
I was struggeling with this problem, because I couldn't create backups anymore.
before I executed your command I had a look at the current permissions for the files.. some folders were owned by root:root instead of media_rw:media_rw. No wonder apps couldn't create files in those folders..
Too bad this was only shown in the shell when in recovery. While the phone was in Android the permissions showed correctly as root:sdcard_rw .. that's why it never occured to me this was a real problem.
Hi guys,
i made quiet a mistake, i cancelled all contents of my SD card under TWRP, wiped system and i'm now left with no rom on the phone nor on the SD card.How can i make my laptop see my sd card under TWRP in order to tranfer a rom and install it ?
seems when i press on Mount sd card nothing happens..
thanks
biggg troubles
you need to use adb.
mounting the sdcard does nothing on the nexus as there is no mass storage

You really need to READ. Use a translator if you can't.
from the thread Zepius linked you:
What is the Android SDK and do I need it?
SDK stands for "software development kit. Do you need it? If you are developing, then yes (but then you probably would be reading this thread now would you... ). If you are not developing, then no, you do NOT need to install it. It is just a waste of space. The only files you need (to interface with your PC) that comes from the SDK are the fastboot and adb files, and they can be found here for Windows, Linux, and MacOS.

Hello,
I decided to root the Mrs Kindle Fire 1st gen, all good so far! I was able to root it, add TWRP, FFF a ROM and gapps.
however, my question is: Can I copy files to it by connecting it to a PC? Before with the stock OS, it would show up on windows explorer and could copy/paste files to it. Now, even though it does load the driver and appears as "Android ADB interface", does not map a letter to it.
Not worry much, since I can use "ES file explorer" for network shares, but would be nice for big files.
Anyone?

I do all my file transfers in twrp. Mount the device and it shows as a USB drive. Note: release the USB drive before unmounting the device.
hmm, I tried all 3 options, the only one that works is the Camera (PTP) mode. UMS might work as well if it had a SD card slot perhaps.
Nevertheless, MTP options does not work.
For TWRP, I need to reboot on it, correct?
Thanks!
not exactly, twrp connects without rom, but likely its a drivers issue anyways

Yes, to use twrp you must reboot the device. Yes, Windows drivers are a mess for other than stock Kindle. Using twrp is easier than getting the drivers to load correctly in Windows 8.1.
Solved.
Rebooting on TWRP and mounting it did the trick. Not first choice but it works fine.
Thank you for the tips.
is there a guide on how to connect an external hard drive to the amazon fire tv, all i get is empty file
