[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phys1cks:
First, I'd like to thank the xda community for all of your help! This is the first time I've worked on an Android device. I started working on my niece's Kindle fire about 4 hours ago and everything I've read has been from this forum. She is leaving the country tomorrow morning and I would like for her to have her Kindle Fire working before she leave (which is why I'm turning to you guys). Here is what I know so far about the Kindle:

FFF v1.4a

TWRP v2.1.1

I've been using the following tools/utilities (Win 7 64):

Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6

Kindle Fire Unbrick V1.0

From what she has told me, the Kindle fire was already rooted and had gedeRom installed (along with FFF and TWRP). She decided to change roms and was going to try Glazed. However, after following the instructions on how to prep the Kindle for the flash (wiping cache, dalvik cache, etc.), she wasn't able to mount the SD card on her kindle anymore.

My suspicion is she also wiped the SD card because there is nothing on it when I check through the TWRP file manager, but she won't admit it.

Now onto the issues. When booting into Normal Boot, FFF loads, tries to boot (obviously there is no ROM to boot to), so it will just simply loop back to the boot loader.

When I boot the kindle into the Bootloader, it will show up as ADB Android Interface in the Device Manager (from what I understand it is in fastboot here). The device ID matches that of this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668159, I can also issue fastboot commands here. None of them seem to change anything.

If I choose to boot into recovery and load TWRP, the Kindle disappears from the Device Manager completely. I can't mount the SD Card, system, data, or cache. I cannot issue any commands from KFU, Unbrick, or command line.

So I've been trying to work from the FFF boot loader, since this is the only place my computer recognizes the Kindle. I've tried manually entering fastboot commands. While the fastboot commands seem to be responsive, upon reboot everything is the same. Using KFU achieves the same results. I've tried almost all the option in KFU, even tried Clockwork recovery (which installed, but I decided to go back to TWRP).

ADB commands do not work, I'm assuming this is because it is in fastboot mode. Any ADB command results in a 'device not found'.

It is always listed as ADB Android Interface in Device Manger, never as ADB Android Composite Interface on My PC .. which is where I think the problem lies, since I can't mount it. This is my nieve's Kindle, she originally rooted it and installed the drivers on her PC.

I've tried everything when installing/uninstalling the drivers. From the Android SDK, to the KFU drivers scrip, and a few driver downloads from different threads. When trying all different methods, I usually get a "Unknown Device". Eventually (I don't know how) it gets read again as ADB Android Interface and I'm back to square one.

Like I said, my knowledge and time is pretty limited. I'm sure this has been posted about 2 dozen times, but I simply cannot find a working solution for my problem. So if I missed an obvious step, or more info is needed, please let me know. I've read several threads, but after the 50th one I kind of just skim through them :angel:.

Thanks again in advance!
