Kusakus,

First let me apologize for the delay we have been working hard to improve our software. Please follow these steps to solve your problem:

Step 1: Remove Kindle driver by plugging the Kindle into USB, then Go to the Windows Device Manager and select the Kindle > Android ADB Interface - choose Remove and be sure to check the Box to remove the driver from the driver database.

Step 2: Remove the second driver found under Portable Devices > Kindle - choose Remove and be sure to check the Box to remove the driver from the driver database.

Step 3: Next you need to remove "phantom devices" in the Windows Device Manager. Go to Control Panel and double click on System. You can also right-click "Computer" on the Start menu (or on the desktop if it's shown there) and choose Properties. Note: A faster way for opening up the System applet is to press the Windows logo key on your keyboard and then press Pause/Break at the same time.

Step 4: Click on "Advance System Settings" link, and then click on the "Environment Variables" button.

Step 5: In the System Variables section click on the "New" button.

In the New System Variable dialog box, under the Variable Name value enter devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices (just copy the value from here and paste it there) and give it a variable value of 1. Click OK.

Step 6: In the Environment Variables window notice how the new variable appeared in the System Variables section. Click OK.

Step 7: In the System Properties window click OK.

Step 8: Reboot the PC.

Step 9: Open Device Manager (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager).

Step 10: From the View menu click Show Hidden Devices and notice the change. Now remove EVERY instance of Kindle, Portable Devices, Android ADB Interface and Android ADB Composite Interface. Be sure to check the box to remove the driver from the PC.

Step 11: When you are done reboot the PC. Wait 3 minutes once you see the desktop for Windows to stabilize. Plug the Kindle into USB, wait 60 seconds and open the Windows Device Manager, you should now see two Yellow Triangles:

MTP

Unknown Device

Step 12: If you see two Yellow Triangles you have successfully removed all the Kindle Drivers! Unplug the Kindle from USB.

Step 13: Check Add/Remove Programs do you see Android SDK? If yes, please Remove it and reboot the PC.

Step 14: Please download and install Kindle Fire First Aide per this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

Step 15: Use Kindle Fire First Aide to install the Kindle Fire USB Driver - Option 12. Wait for the Install to complete. Once you see a successful driver install then go to the Kindle. Make sure "Allow installation of programs" is ON under the Kindle Status Bar - More + > Device. Also make sure ADB is ON under the Kindle Status Bar More + Security Enable ADB is ON.

Step 16: Plug the Kindle into your PC USB, wait 2 minutes, maybe 3 minutes for the driver to successfully install. When done go back to the Windows Device Manager, do you now see the following:

Kindle > Android ADB Interface

Portable Devices > Kindle

Step 17: If yes, then SUCCESS! Great work! Let's proceed, if NO post what you see in the Device Manger in the Kindle Fire First Aide thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

Step 18: Let's finally Root your Kindle Fire 2. Try Option 20 first if that root method fails, reboot the PC and Kindle then try Option 21. Pay close attention to the Kindle when using Option 21, the Kindle should ask to be "Restored" do not worry it is a fake restore that is only used to exploit the Kindle. When you restore the Kindle, the process will wrap up and you will have Root!

Step 19: You may use our software to install Google Play Store and Google Apps.
