Ok, so I read and downloaded all the latest files and utilities, but I cannot get the ADP to connect.

I've uninstalled the drivers, re-installed the drivers from the KFU folder (yes, I renamed it). I uninstalled, unplugged and rebooted the kindle, then plugged in and re-installed. over and over and different combinations. I installed it using the hardware wizard and pointing to the kindle folder in kfu and I tried the 'install drivers' batch file.

I used ccleaner after a driver uninstall to clean up and rebooted...still no go.

I tried adb kill-server first.

In any case, adb devices shows no matching devices and kfu shows offline.

I am using 6.2.2, Vista x32...kfu 0.9.2, burritoroot3 (which I havent used yet) and KindleADB from here http://www.multiupload.com/DMSRB6Q1MX

any assistance is appreciated.

thx

Does installing TWRP include FFF 1.2? I just want to update my FFF to 1.2, but there's no option for that alone...I already have TWRP and rooted 6.2.1

Edit: one more question; if I use KFU to download latest stock update.zip, will that wipe my system, apps, etc?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] acax456:
nothing changed :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
twrp installs fff but not the latest version 1.2 - you can update it ...

if you use latest stock from amazon (the function in kfu) you will loose fff, twrp and root - it sets it back as out of the box - would never do that ...

kf in normal boot & recovery -> driver: "android composite adb interface"

kf in fastboot -> "android adb interface"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] DalekCaan:
I used this back when 6.2.2 was first rolled out, but now TWRP is making bad backups (it made three bad ones in a row). I wanted to re-flash TWRP. If I use this again (I already changed what I needed to in order to have 6.2.2 work) to install TWRP, will anything wonky happen? I mean, worst case scenario, nothing will change...? Thanks.

Stuck in Kindle Fire startup

@Vashypooh:

I have my Kindle rooted with your KFU / BurritoRoot3. I tried to install TWRP after that my KF is starting with a flashing "Kindle Fire" logo. It does not go any further after that. I had tried to hold the power button and restarted several times to no avail. My computer does not see the device attached to get ADB to work. Please help me to get back to normalcy.

Thanks a lot.

Get you drivers right on the computer to see the device...then use adb to get out of fastboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] k4955:
My drivers are perfect. The driver detail shows "USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01\6&2865EECB&0&0001"

In the command prompt when I key in for adb devices, I get the response "List of devices attached

5B1E0026****". On the contrary my computer (XP) shows as "Removable Drive" instead of Kindle.and when I try to open to see the contents, it says, "Please insert a disk in that drive".

If I run Run.bat from KFU, and select Boot Normal, I get "error could not access the package manager...is the system running?"

Please help to resolve.

Just downloaded KFU v 0.9.3 and tried to reset my KF, but did not work. I am able to perform the following command prompt entries and KF responses.

c:\KFU\Tools >adb kill-server

c:\KFU\tools>adb devices

c:\KFU\Tools>adb reboot

If I type C:\KFU\Tools>fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img, it says waiting for device. I disconnected and held the power button for 20 seconds, powered down and connected back with the cable, nothing happens in command prompt.

Can you please suggest a command prompt to wake up my KF so that it starts with all resources and pass beyond the the flashing screen.

I need your help in getting back my KF.

Thanks a million in advance.

Windows 7, 64 bit?

I remember reading somewhere to download the 32 bit java sdk and Android sdk, not the 64 bit. Which version did you download?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
Try the latest KFU, 9.2 wont work if you have gotten the latest OTA patch.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
When using KFU on a windows machine you should NOT need any SDK's installed. It is a self contained environment. You are likely to end up with a mess if you dont know what you are doing.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] b63:
right - no sdk at all - in the tools folder of kfu are all needed commands

doing this command manually is the same as kfu option 1 bootmode normal

an other question : is the entry <language code="0x0409"> necessary in dpinst.xml of the driver installer ? it leads to problems with non english os. changing to the correct language code solves the problem but is it needed at all ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] k4955:
@Vashypooh:

As suggested I connected KF to my laptop where no SDK was installed ever. After downloading KFU 0.9.3 ZIP , extracted the contents into a folder c:\KFU. Laptop recognized the USB as Kindle. Installed the driver utility and successfully updated to Android Phone ADB Interface. Then I ran "Run.Bat" and selected "1" Boot Menu. As soon as I select Normal Boot, command prompt displayed "Waiting for device". No matter how many times I shut down KF and restart, it is not recognized. In my computer where I see the USB device attached and click to see the contents, it prompts to inset the device.

At this point how do I wake KF to show me the contents and how I do regain KF to function normally?

Sorry to be a pain, but I am trying to get KF back instead of spending full price to get a new KF. I am sure that I have breached the warranty by rooting my KF.

Thanks for your patience and consideration.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
If it says waiting for device, that would imply it thinks its in fastboot.

Is the kindledisplaying anything on the screen?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] k4955:
The boot menu selection does not reboot KF. KF is unresponsive, continuing to flash the logo. I was hoping to get a response in KFU, by shutting down KF and reconnecting the USB cable. Even after that the command prompt screen states "waiting for device"
[Kindle Fire Android Development] psomero:
I installed a new C language compiler last night and it broke KFU for me.

All of the lines of code in run.bat which used the find /I command would return "Find: /I is no media"

This issue popped up at the same time I updated to version 0.93, so I thought the batch file was to blame, not my cmd shell setup.

It turns out that the gcc toolchain that was installed by WinAVR put its directory before %windir%\system32 in the PATH environment variable, so it'd pull up the non-microsoft find.exe binary before the correct one. All I had to do was edit the path variable so system32 was the first folder listed and problem solved.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] maltydog:
I have rooted my phone and another tablet and installed ROMS many times. This is my first attempt to roote the Fire. I installed the BurritoRoot successfully, The Permanent Root and the TWRP. It was working fine. I did a backup with the TWRP recovery. The Fire was rooted, I downloaded Market and Installed some Gapps. Then I decided to flash a different rom. First when I held down the power button, the recovery would not load. I would see the yellow triangle, but could not get into recovery mode. I reconnected the Fire to the computer and installed the TWRP recovery again. I tried restarting in recovery mode. I could restart in normal mode, but holding down the power button would not get me into recovery. So I went into the Bootmode menu and chose recovery. That got me into the recovery mode. I disconnected the Fire from my computer. I did a second backup. I installed the MoDaco and CM7 zips (and Gapps for CM7) on my SD card. Then I tried to install the MoDaco. I got a message that the install wrote data, system and boot and was finishing up. I did get a message cannot load volume /misc!. But when I tried to reboot, I just kept ending up back in the recovery program, I could not get the out of it. I tried rebooting a couple of times. Then I tried restoring both my backups. Both times I got a message that the restore was complete. Still when I tried rebooting I ended up in the recovery program. I tried installing the CM7 Rom, and the Gapps, got a message that it was complete, still can't get out of the recovery program. I plugged the kindle into the computer and turned on the Utility. THe ADB status is Online. I tried going into Bootmode menu an activating a normal boot, and it would do nothing. So I tried obtaining stock update.zip to return to stock. It seemed to run okay, but still the fire would not get out of the recovery mode. Not sure what to do now. (2:00 A.M.)

Edit: Okay....this morning I reinstalled the TRW Recovery (I had the turn the kindle off and on) from the Utility, and now I am able to load up the regular Kindle software (still rooted), but I cannot get back into the Recovery again to do anything else in the normal way by holding down the power button. I see the yellow triangle, but if I hold down the power button, the triangle just disappears, recovery does not load. If i hit it quickly, the triangle appears for a while, disappears, and the kindle software loads. After what happened last night, I am not rushing into it, would like to talk to some more experienced folks here about how to get the recovery to work properly. (8:45 A.M.)

@THANHVO31;@Vashypooh;@b63:

I have requested Amazon for a replacement at this point. I have tried all possible ways to restore KF. I have checked Android_winusb.info and it does include USB_Install, because I had used Install_drivers.bat. I had pressed the power button to shut down several times, disconnected and re-connected the USB cable and watched the command prompt, where it stated "waiting for device" and really no sign of rebooting. I am stuck at "Kindle Fire" logo and my computer is saying to insert the disk in the removable disk. All suggestions have been tried innumerable number of times, but no sign of bringing KF back to normalcy. If by any chance any other suggestions to work around, besides what had been tried before, I am ready to follow your instructions. My replacement KF will arrive tomorrow, Tuesday.

Once again, thank you all for the suggestions in the past and continued support.

If you hit the option to install FireFireFire it tells you the ADB cannot be found. I had to edit the batch file to have tools/ in front of ADB for it to work. But I guess it really isn't needed since it looks like it gets installed with the TWRP install. (noob to this kindle thing as of today)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] usnret04:
I just had the same problem. I reinstalled the driver and the install finished.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
damage, this utility corrupted my friends new recovery partition.

so it rooted fine, i went to install twrp and it froze half way while downloading. i've never used kfu before so i didn't even know what it was doing. i closed kfu and opened it again, hit install twrp and instead of re-downloading the unfinished recovery, it went straight to installing the corrupt download of twrp.

luckily i had a factory cable anyway, but i just wanted to play with this utility.

its dangerous that it didn't check the md5 of the downloaded file before attempting to flash it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
the utilityy downloads the file first... and then flashes it when it is ready. Scary to install a recovery while it is still downloading. So do you mean "it froze halfway while flashing"? Thats a big difference.

The utility worked fine for me but then I wouldnt want to play with anything other than fastboot :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vashypooh:
Read the code, it does indeed check the MD5's.

However in your situation, it thought that you got a good download the first time. and continued. That is something that it doesn't check, I'll add it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] zothes:
had a problem when i was doing the final restart after putting on twrp where my kindle became unrecognized in fastboot mode. uninstalled drivers, reinstalled, didnt work, so some lad's post a page or 2 back saying to use the v0.9.1 file made the thing a sure fire for me.

i was worried all night that i had bricked my new KF but it took 2 minutes after downloading the v0.9.1 file to get my kindle booted up and ready to be messed with

[Kindle Fire Android Development] spar10:
i haven't had any responses to my post so i'll try again. i used 0.9.3 and think i ended up with a bricked kf. when i plug the usb into the kf it's not recognized as a device. the utility also shows no device when i fire it up with the kindle plugged in. currently the kf is stuck on the "kindle fire" screen. is this thing bricked or is there another way to get back into it like 0.9.1?

I don't think there is any need for KFU to flash intersectRaven's kernel. His latest kernels are provided as update zips and can easily (and safely) be flashed in TWRP or CWM recovery.

Hi, I rooted my Kindle Fire using KFU then I installed FireFireFire. After this, I attempted to install TWRP Recovery using KFU and that's where I ran into a problem. I got up to a point where it said "Selecting Normal Bootmode" followed by "please wait..." The prompt above this told me that I should attempt to install the drivers using install_drivers.bat. However, when I attempted to do so, I got an error of:
