ADB driver not recognizing KF after 1.25 Install.

You don't make mention of which version of Windows you are running, but on my XP machine, I had to uninstall my Android SDK, reset my machine, and re-install the driver to get it to work. Had no issue with my Win7 machine.

Hope that helps. Thanks for listening :)

Sincerely,

William

ADB driver not recognizing KF after 1.25 Install

I found some very helpful information in kinfauns Kindle Fire for Beginners: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1552547

This worked like a charm for me, and I'll quote his instructions here...

What can I do if the drivers won't load?

Windows can be very temperamental when it comes to device drivers. Don't assume the worst right away, but try rebooting the computer, disconnecting/reconnecting the device, and restarting the device in both modes. Fastboot in particular sometimes won't get detected by Windows on the first try and may require a reboot of the Kindle Fire.

If the Kindle Fire comes up as a different device or you get a "Code 10" error, you'll have to explicitly tell Windows what driver you expect to see for the device. The steps below are for Windows 7, but they should be very similar for earlier versions of Windows as well.

The following may have to be performed twice, once for normal mode and again for fastboot mode. The steps below are listed for normal mode (and the fastboot equivalent in parentheses). Be sure to have tried installing the drivers using the batch file at least once or you will not be able to complete the process.

- Connect the Kindle Fire in normal mode (fastboot mode) to the computer

- In the Device Manager, right click on the device and select "Uninstall"

- Check the "Delete the driver software for this device." box and press "OK"

- Disconnect the Kindle Fire, reconnect and reboot in normal mode (fastboot mode)

-The Device Manager should show "Other devices -> Kindle" ("Other devices -> kindle")

- Right click on "Kindle" ("kindle") and select "Update Driver Software..."

- Select "Browse my computer for driver software"

- Do not click the "Next" button, but select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

- Select "Android Phone" and then press the "Next" button

- Press the "Have Disk..." button

- Click the "Browse..." button, point it to the "C:\kfu\drivers\kindle" directory and press "Open"

- Press the "OK" button

- Uncheck the "Show compatible hardware" checkbox

- Select "Android Composite ADB Interface" ("Android ADB Interface") and press the "Next" button

- Select "Install this driver software anyway"

- Press the "Close" button

I'm currently dual booting it with stock rom and the rom is great for daily use. When I need to use KF specific features I just boot back to stock.

I only have an issue regarding display brightness. The lowest brightness setting is still too high. I'm using the displaybrightness app to reduce it to minimum but I'd like to eliminate my dependence on external apps as much as possible.
[Kindle Fire General] Lotek:
Very nice ROM, great work. I like the fullscreen a lot. Even with autohide checked, the bar persevered in mobiplayer and ereader apps with other ICS builds and I'd go back to CM7 within minutes. I know this doesn't bother most people and prompts a huge cry of OMG the QQ!!! in the forums when people have the temerity to query the holy wisdom of the Great Gods of Google on this issue but Button Saviour works well so a fat bar with three buttons and a clock on it is surplus to requirements.

I do have a wallpaper issue where my wallpaper does not restore to fullscreen in portrait mode after auto-rotate from landscape. It will restore to fullscreen in portrait when Home is pressed in an alternate launcher, then Home again in the default launcher (Zeam) only to lose it again on rotation, but that's a minor issue, my wallpaper is a mostly black picture so I can't really see it anyway.
[Kindle Fire General] potestasx:
Thanks for replying. I'm running Win 7 x64 but I'll try what you had to do for XP.

Did the device show up in the device manager at all before you got the drivers to work?

Thanks for replying. Those are the instructions that I linked in my original post :). As I mentioned, I can't select "Uninstall" on the device because the device isn't on the list, only the SD card shows up.

The device shows up and the drivers work (as far as I can tell) when booted into TWRP and when in the bootloader. It disappears from the list when it goes from bootloader to gedeROM.
[Kindle Fire General] HalfBlueEye:
Nice work

Just registered to say "Thanks!" to gedemis (and really all the other devs here too) for the excellent work on this ROM and all the tools around it.

It couldn't have been much easier to do, and my Fire feels like a brand new machine.

Cheers!
[Kindle Fire General] lunatic_fringe:
Try looking under Universal Serial Bus controllers in Device Manager and look for USB Mass Storage Device. You'll know it is the right one if you right click it and go to Properties and then select the Details tab and then select Hardware Ids from the drop down menu. If it is the Kindle Fire you will see under this under value:

USB\VID_1949&PID_000#&REV_0216&MI_00
USB\VID_1949&PID_000#&MI_00

# should be either a 1 or a 6, if it is a 1 you may need to modify the driver INF.

edit: I just realized that this wouldn't help you anyway since uninstalling that driver would just uninstall the USB Mass Storage driver. What helped me get the drivers working was editing the driver INF to reflect the correct PID. The dev says it should be changed to 0006, but on mine it still shows 0001. You can verify this on your KF by running the following command in a terminal:

cat /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idProduct

So i see reports of the play store being updated to 3.5.19. Im still on .16 with this ROM. is it supposed to automatically update or is that a known issue?
[Kindle Fire General] acastellan:
Muy buena Rom

Felicitaciones muy buena actualizacion, mejora considerablemente la duracion de la bateria, wifi al 100%, :)
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
Found a bug/glitch with the gedeROM. For some weird reason some apps that require a network connection to work can't see that it is connected to WiFi. Not critical and it's only a few apps. There are also some apps that say they won't work which could be ICS or it could be that it reports to the Google store as a Galaxy Nexus. Not sure...anyway...outside of those issues...loving the ROM.
[Kindle Fire General] peachhead:
+1 on that- zero issues with this rom for the past few days. Battery life is good, wifi is great, no issues at all that I can think of, and installation was nice and easy.

Couldn't have done it without all the good posts here. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] BoulderGeek:
I concur. This is my first ROM on my new sale Fire.

Seamless installation. Sweet performance at 1.2Ghz. Hard to believe that it only has 512Mb of memory.

I have Cherry Kang Ics on my HP Touchpad. this feels just as good, with half of the hardware present on the Fire.

Many thanks for this nice work!

Cm9 themes work on Gederom?

Undoubtedly, this may be a silly question.

But, will the new Cm9 theme engine work on the most recent GedeROM?

Are there any themes which will?
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
Anyone able to get Medscape to work? There are a couple of other apps that have the same problem, but I don't remember which. This is an example of the wifi issue I was talking about.
[Kindle Fire General] Twilla:
I'm wondering that, too! Very excited for this.

It's not working for me, either. "Update Required - A Network Connection is required to perform necessary updates."

It's the only issue with this rom I've had.
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
I was able to get to the log in screen just fine. I didn't want to make an account though so that's as far as I went.
[Kindle Fire General] erad1:
I think gedemis would have to include the "theme chooser" apk in the next ROM release unless that is what you refer to as the theme engine.
[Kindle Fire General] gedemis:
New version in a couple of hours! :)
[Kindle Fire General] gedemis:
NEW VERSION OUT!

Changelog from OP:

13-5-2012 Version 1.3

Major patch

- Themes are now supported! Go to Settings->Themes! (gedeROM comes with stock and Androidian themes installed. Get more from the Play Store)

- Lockscreen is now fully customizable! Go to Settings->System->Lockscreen(Remember to hit save after setting op shortcuts)

- GPS has been fixed(Thanks Hashcode!)

- Upgraded WPA-supplicant from 0.8 to 1.0 (Wifi-tweaks)

- Keyboard sounds are now in! :)

- Changed default governor to "ondemand". Seems to be the only governor that deep-sleeps well.

- CMWallpapers come preinstalled(can be uninstalled)

- Music now comes preinstalled(can be uninstalled)

- ADB should be fixed once and for all.

[Kindle Fire General] Nightly Suicide:
Love the new ROM. Keep up the good work.
[Kindle Fire General] DigitalAnalog:
Do you guys recommend flashing Hashcode's kernel over this ROM or is the included kernel sufficient?
[Kindle Fire General] Nightly Suicide:
I believe the kernel is modified for the ROM. The latest version is using the new kernel.
[Kindle Fire General] veeman:
A modified version of Hashcode's newest kernel is included in the rom.
[Kindle Fire General] rikkoko:
Are the market compatibility issues that came with Hashcode's latest kernel still present in the newest version of gederom?
[Kindle Fire General] iesvs:
Easy to alternate gedeROM/Hash's builds

FYI for those of you like me who absolutely MUST try whatever new features gedemis and Hashcode release as the days progress, I have had absolutely no problem quickly flashing between them only wiping dalvik and cache. I just installed gedemis' new build over Hashcode's most recent and all is well.

Edit: I keep getting an error installing themes that says they were compiled improperly...?
[Kindle Fire General] DigitalAnalog:
I'm using the latest GedeROM right now and USB-MS file transfers are very slow. Is this a ROM, kernel or device issue?
[Kindle Fire General] gedemis:
No, those should be fixed :-)
[Kindle Fire General] gedemis:
Kernel issue :'(
[Kindle Fire General] kfsohn:
Your MS Windows is able to see your USB Connection storage after installed the gedeROM v1.3? Mine is not showing up at all. I have to flash mine back to v1.25 to get it working.
[Kindle Fire General] serx7:
i'm new to the Kindle Fire (thank you Amazon daily deal from a week ago), but am pretty experienced w/ the Moto DroidX (fairly active in the Rootzwiki DroidX Dev forums).

after reading up on the available Fire ROMs and seeing lots of very positive feedback, gedeROM 1.25 was my 1st ROM flash on the Fire. totally loved it, and 1.3 provides the new features that really make it complete.

thanks gedemis for such a solid offering. i was (kinda still am) a flashaholic for many months on the DX before finding a ROM/theme/applying framework/performance tweaks to make it just the way i like. it looks like i've found the daily driver ROM for my Fire within the 1st week of rooting it :)

---------- Post added at 05:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

looks like i'm seeing the same thing as you are. the Fire recognizes it's connected 'to something' via USB, but when i flip on the USB Storage option to copy files to/from the computer, nothing happens.

on 1.25, this works fine.

i can just xfer files via Dropbox, for the relatively few times i want/need to do USB file xfers.
[Kindle Fire General] DigitalAnalog:
I haven't tried it yet, but do you think file transfers would be faster if I do it in TWRP?
[Kindle Fire General] kfsohn:
Found the cure to it. Looks like the KFU's "install_drivers.bat" is buggy or not competable with GedeROM v1.3. What I did was that I followed the steps in the following post of deleting the device on MSWindows and reinstall the ADB driver manually after it detected it and everything is good now.

Hope that helps you too. Good luck.
[Kindle Fire General] arvinb:
I'm not sure where this problem originates from, but I've had the same issue on both my Kindle Fire running this ROM (which is the first and only ROM I've flashed for my KF) and my Evo 4G running any ICS ROM.
[Kindle Fire General] gedemis:
UPDATE - New bugfix patch out!

Changelog from OP:

13-5-2012 Version 1.35

Small bugfix patch

- Shutdown is now working properly! (Great job Hash)

- Updated hosts file. Adblocking should now be up to date :)
[Kindle Fire General] Lance Uppercut:
Amazing rom. Great job man.
[Kindle Fire General] Cykyter:
Is it safe to just flash 1.35 over 1.25 or do I have to wipe etc. before?
[Kindle Fire General] Lord Morpheus:
delvik wipe should be enough.
[Kindle Fire General] BenwayNet:
Figured it out. Sorry :rolleyes:

Need to update too latest version now
[Kindle Fire General] serx7:
thanks for the tip, i should've suspected the device driver issue earlier.

in my case, i just needed to uninstall the Android Phone -> Android Composite ADB Interface that showed up in my Windows 7 laptop's Device Manager.

I then unplugged the Kindle, plugged it back in, and Windows automatically found the driver/s it needed, and now USB Mass Storage works fine again.
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
Amazing ROM Gedemis! Just keeps getting better!
[Kindle Fire General] iesvs:
Improperly-compiled themes?

I'm still getting the improperly-compiled error when trying to apply themes. Is this happening to anyone else? Every one of them, including paid themes from the market. Gedemis messaged me back about "drawable" something-or-other. Any suggestions on which ones work, preferably something in red?
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
If I remember correctly, you have to set the dpi to 220ish, choose the theme and then switch back.
[Kindle Fire General] potestasx:
Thanks. I ran the command on v. 1.25 and it was 0001 for me too.

I had tried the inf changes mentioned in the thread (both 0001 & 0006), but they didn't help my situation, so I reverted back to the original inf from KFU.

I just updated to 1.35 today and the ID switched to 0006.

Not sure if that was all that was messing me up but now with the stock KFU inf and the 1.35 update, everything works.
[Kindle Fire General] gedemis:
Glad to hear that adb is finally working for everyone :-)
[Kindle Fire General] iesvs:
Of course! Thanks!

Of course! The Swype trick! I was thinking it was a dpi issue but I forgot all about that workaround. Thanks. Okay, I'm gonna try this and hope my status bar doesn't disappear like last time. Fingers crossed.

Edit: SUCCESS! But yeah, the menu buttons disappeared. I had to change the dpi, reboot, switch the theme, then reboot into recovery, then use adb to push my 160-dpi build.prop backup on my hard drive to /system. It's tedious as hell but it's worth it. If anyone knows an easier way without resorting to adb push let me know.

Home/Back on power button menu

Hey, gedemis, I remember having the back and home buttons on the power button menu when I was on CM7 which was really nice for fullscreen apps. It's just one less step. Would it be possible to have an option to switch between the two, maybe? Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] diegogaona:
This is the best ROM for Kindle so far!

Thanks for your work Gedemis, I've tested the v1.35 and it's the best :), recommended for everyone.

my orange light is not on when charging while screen off? its only on when I charge and turn the screen on...
[Kindle Fire General] Ixthusdan:
I also have a charging problem. The light does not indicate charging and I cannot verify if it is. seems to be an issue with the kernel. I switched back during the day and will flashagain when i do not need to rely on my kindle.
[Kindle Fire General] Nightly Suicide:
Settings > Under DEVICE, Battery

It will tell you Charging or Discharging.
[Kindle Fire General] khanha:
I knew, but it annoys sometime if u have to turn on just to check charging level
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
My wifi seems to have decent speed. The only problem I have is every time I turn it on I have to turn off wifi, wait, and turn it back on to connect. That hardly ever happened in 1.25, but it happens consistently in 1.35. I'm wondering if a clean wipe and install would help that problem go away or if it's just par for the course with the 3.0 kernel? I also noticed I couldn't see certain access points that other devices can see out there. Like I couldn't see our AP at work today even though my phone and laptop could see it just fine.

I know I didn't answer your question, but I think...in general...there are wifi issues.
[Kindle Fire General] Mantene:
I am seeing this same issue. If the kindle goes to sleep and I wake it up wifi doesn't connect to any network until I toggle it off and then on again. A minor irritation in an overall wonderful ROM.
[Kindle Fire General] Nightly Suicide:
Hashcode posted this about his kernel. Don't know if ti will help or not.
[Kindle Fire General] Mantene:
That does actually seem to help, but I will give it a little more testing tonight. Thanks for the repost.
[Kindle Fire General] Ixthusdan:
As a follow-up to my first post, the power button flickers every so often when the kindle is charging. I verified that it is charging. I have excellent speed on wifi, and the tablet is more responsive, even before increasing the clock speed. I like the rom.
[Kindle Fire General] mono feo0:
i'm experiencing either really slow charging or really bad battery life :/ i'm using my KF while it's charging and the battery is actually going DOWN, but slowly. had it plugged in for about an hour and it stays around 14-17% battery remaining. any ideas? i'm on this rom and using stock charger and intersectRaven's kernel.
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
Are you using USB or the wall charger to charge it?
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
Seems to be working better for me too. Takes it a while to find the network, but it eventually does on it's own without fussing. Thanks!

It is no longer working for me. My computer won't even recognize the device any more. It started within the last two 5-13 builds. I apparently need the composite adb interface drivers as well, now. not sure what happened. Any help is appreciated.

---------- Post added at 02:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 AM ----------

Well something happened when trying to reinstall drivers. Whatever usb it's hooked up to now becomes device unrecognized. ROM started being real laggy almost non responsive. flashed a recovery and its doing the same thing. think i jacked up my kindle for good. ****. also android phone doesn't even show up at all any more under devices and cant get my kindle to recognize that usb is connected either. oh no
[Kindle Fire General] zando2712:
Uninstall your driver on windows, then plug your kindle in.

Drivers will automatically install.

Enjoy!
[Kindle Fire General] Mantene:
Ok, upon further testing, no, this does not appear to have cleared up the problem. Like I said, it is just a minor annoyance though I notice some people decided to move back to 1.3 over it. I just did a factory reset and reflashed 1.35 so maybe that will help. If it does I will post again, otherwise, I will just wait for the next release.
[Kindle Fire General] dadeo1111:
brief report

Just reporting the same led issue, but charging fine also.

Wifi is solid for me.

Battery tray icon got stuck at 100% till a reboot - theme related?

Also, last night I tried the software shutdown with the power button menu and it seemed to work, but within 5 seconds, as I was setting it on the nightstand, it came back on. I then used the 20 second button method. I usually leave it on and have had very good luck with this, only losing 2-5% charge overnight.
[Kindle Fire General] Lotek:
I had the same experience on the latest 1.35 charging with the stock charger, the orange light was on but still a slow decline. I'll definitely be back when this issue is resolved though.
[Kindle Fire General] ExploreMN:
I think I was premature as well. Still having the problem. I just put a WiFi toggle widget on the main screen and turn it off before I shut off the power and turn it on after I bring it back up. Seems to resolve the issues. Only downside is that I can't get push mail or other "live" notifications.

Not having a charging issue though. Charges just fine for me.
[Kindle Fire General] mono feo0:
sorry for the late reply. I'm using the wall charger.
[Kindle Fire General] Lothlorian:
Love the Rom... Everything is smooth... the deal breaker is the sound cuts out at random. Sometimes if I close the app and re-launch it the sound will come back for a bit... Had to go with a CM7 Rom because I think the CM9 Kernel is not ready for prime time.
[Kindle Fire General] YayILikePie:
Love the smoothness of this ROM, but noticed just a couple of things.

When long pressing the power button to bring up menu, there's a lone mute icon left behind, without an unmute function anywhere to be seen. True full screen function works very nicely though.

As for the second issue, I noticed how certain apps in the play store which are accessable in other ROMs, like Dayforce in Hashcode's ROM, are unavailable here. I've tried replacing the build.prop file, followed by clearing data for Google Play Store to no avail. While it's nice to be able to install games that would otherwise not be available for the Fire, it's just something I noticed.

Thanks for the hard work on the ROM. It works very well regardless, and I'm curious to see how it will evolve.
[Kindle Fire General] Mantene:
Do you need a separate unmute button? You click mute, it mutes. You click it again and it unmutes.
[Kindle Fire General] centenary:
Out of curiosity, how much power consumption do other people see when in sleep mode? When in sleep mode, I saw roughly 1 percent battery life consumed per hour

I thought this was pretty good, but then I went back to the stock ROM and saw that my Kindle Fire could be in sleep mode for many hours before consuming even a single percent of battery life. Today, my Kindle Fire has been in sleep mode for 5 hours and it still reports fully charged

Is my experience with gedeROM unusual? I've tried both the OnDemand and OnDemandX CPU governors, I haven't had a chance to try other governors yet since I've flashed back to stock
[Kindle Fire General] YayILikePie:
Seems when I do that, it doesn't unmute. It just gets stuck in mute. Perhaps it's a fluke from my flashing. I'll have to experiment a bit more and see if wiping everything and reflashing fixes it, if clicking the mute icon again works for you.
[Kindle Fire General] BoulderGeek:
FWIW, I have verified that the Machinarium game plays smoothly in gedeROM on the KF.

Pretty cool. I am much more likely to take the KF traveling than I would be to travel with my Samsung Galaxy 10.1. Airplanes, motorcycle trips, etc. KF fits in a deep pocket, or a tank bag, where a 10" tablet does not.
[Kindle Fire General] mdaa83:
I installed andrev_oc using the Daemon Controller app and that works nicely. I have sleep set to the lowest possible and my power consumption is near nothing it seems. Maybe that will help.
