Updated Android ADB USB File

Playdoe9,

This is a common issue, we updated our thread and have the latest drivers dated 12/02/2012, you can obtain them here:

[HOW TO] Root the Kindle Fire 7" HD and 2 with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version

The install instructions are here:	Updated Android ADB USB File

We offer two versions in the download:

We have had a number of people experiencing trouble with the USB Driver lately, here is some ideas and fixes that were tested today:

Step 1: Download the latest USB Driver updated at 12:05am 02/06/2013 here: USB Driver (Dropbox) or USB Driver (Ubuntu One)

Step 2: Download the adb_usb.ini from here: Android ADB USB Ident (Dropbox) or Android ADB USB Ident (Ubuntu One)

Step 3: Unzip the andoid.zip as .andoid folder to your desktop. Then copy the .android folder to C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\.android OR C:\Users\Your User Name\.android

Step 4: Unzip the usb_driver.zip folder as usb_driver on your desktop.

Step 5: Next let's open the device manager do you see a Kindle icon with a Yellow Triangle? If yes, click on it with a Right Hand mouse click and select Properties, then on the General Tab select Update Driver.

Step 6: Browse to the usb_driver folder on your desktop. Choose Locate and Install Driver Manually. Then click OK, be sure to Accept or Allow the driver warning pop-up.

Step 7: That is it, you are now using the latest Google ADB Driver for Windows and the really nice part of this driver? This is the same driver used with about 6,000 other devices so future ADB driver installs will be unnecessary as you buy new tablets.

Step 8: You should now see two devices when you turn on ADB on the Kindle.

Kindle > Android ADB Composite Interface

Portable Devices > Kindle

[ROOT][HOW TO] Root the Kindle Fire HD and 2 with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version

Dudmaster,

Please go over to here and read our how to install the driver:

[ROOT][HOW TO] Root the Kindle Fire HD and 2 with Windows - Noob (Simple) Version

The idea is to first:

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

Then reboot, after the reboot Unplug the Kindle from USB, install our Root Tool:

[BACKUP][RECOVERY] Kindle Fire HD and 2 First Aide Software - Noob (Simple) Version

Then use Option 12 to install the ADB Driver, when done reboot the computer. When you are back to your computer desktop then plug the Kindle into USB, wait 2 minutes for everything to initialize then select Option 11 to test ADB, if the ADB Test passes then use Option 20 to Root the Kindle.

Just get as far as

* daemon started successfully *

And that's it!

have killed ADB

have updated Java

Have rebooted device, laptop and restored kindle to factory

Been on this for 2 hours now, any ideas where I am going wrong?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] xxsurfacexx:
This remains the be the fool proof method of rooting your device...all of these all in one tools do not work for me at all. First try and bam im rooted...now on to installing kinology on this device.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Krsmqn:
Sounds like you have driver issues.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] xxsurfacexx:
You might think you have everything installed but likely do not or not properly. What I have installed are the adb drivers, android sdk package, and the latest java. Try reinstalling all of those, then right click my computer and go to manage>device manager>kindle and uninstall it. Then replug in your kindle open up a command prompt as an administrator in the same directory as the adb package and type in adb devices and see if the device is listed if it isnt than its not being properly recognized as an adb device. I just copy a CMD.exe in my adb directory and then right click and open it as an administrator. If it is however I would redo both steps and see if it works properly or not. I have tried the newwer automated tool and it never has worked for me on the 10-15 kindles I have rooted for people.

Thanks VERY much for the info, removed the driver which was working fine, let windows install a new driver and everything now accessible, root successful, now just need a way to install the PLAY Store
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] xxsurfacexx:
Since you are rooted you could flash to kinology comes with play store pre installed and a few other key features its really simple to do.

Hi.

My girlfriend wants to use Google Play on her KFHD 7" with 7.2.3 but don't want to lose any data/apps/savegames.

Does OP's method in addition with using "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21" work without performing a factory reset?

Thanks a lot.

Don't worry, the factory reset don't really happens... after the second reboot everything will be as before, but now rooted...

works for kindle fire 7 HD running 7.3 today.

Hi

followed the instructions and was able to root my kindle fire HD 7 today, it was runing 7.3 btw.

afterwards i was able to use ES file explorer? and give it root permissions and install google play - i didn't lose any setting or data as far as i can tell and the kids can still use kindle freetime.

i also hopefully blocked via the hosts file the ability to autoupdate, (127.0.0.1 s3.amazonaws.com) as per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386463

Thank you :victory:

I did this and am unable to get passed part 3 of the Qemu process.

It tells me it can't find the specified file.

I'm rooted again, but now my tablet is stuck with the blue background and sluggish; Which i think is fixed after doing the qemu process?

Should i do a factory restore or is there a way to restore it to where it was before i began this process?

EDIT: Ended up somewhat fixing it... Skipped to step 4 with the qemu file... It stopped it from being extremely laggy and got my icons back on my home screen. But it still is messed up; Playstore isn't in list of apps (Is still runable, though), my main launcher is unable to run (Luckily i never got rid of GO Launcher EX; Was using GO Launcher HD)

Not sure what went wrong, must have just been an unlucky one; Followed directions just as provided.

Note: Reason began doing this was to re-root my kindle after the 7.3 OTA update; Which I thought was disabled.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] teapartymassacre:
it takes too long too root :(

so im at the restoring data on my kindle, and i notice these two boxes.

box 1 says; please enter your device encrpytion password below:

box 2 says; if the restore data is encrypted, please enter the password below:

i ignore these two boxes and below are two choices, do not restore and restore my data.

i choose "restore my data" without putting a password and both choices goes gray.

the cmd looks like this *image attached*

is it normal that it takes too long too reboot?

im just aware i might fail and my kindle will not turn on again.

thanks a lot for the reply.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] wire55:
You dont enter anything into the encryption boxes. just press restore and it will restore your kindle with superuser/supersu.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] teapartymassacre:
i have not entered a password and just restore it just like what you said earlier but it took me an hour and a half and it still stuck in there..

any more suggestions? :confused:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] :
Can you elaborate? Not sure what you mean by it being "stuck."

You could try running the program again perhaps?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] teapartymassacre:
sorry for my english :o

i mean it does not continue even after an hour ..
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] pinktheater:
Last night i did the root for the kindle fire hd 7 of a friend.

All the process went fine and I was able to see the SuperUser icon under APPs.

This morning i was going to finish the process of installing the Google Play market, but to my surprise the SuperUser icon is not anymore under APPs... does that mean the root went bad and I have to do it again?

I have not been able to test it because I need to download ES Explorer and since I need his password i don't know if the device is rooted or not.

Edit: I was able to test it now that I have a file explorer... the root went away :confused:

I'll do it again tonight.

[HTC One X] whodidwhatandwhen:
Hi there,

so i gotta HTC one x last week, my first android..and I've gotta say that so far im hugely disappointed.

The phone has been draining battery like crazy ever since I got it. I've been charging it more than I've been using it, while it runs for no more than 4 hours when fully charged and heats up quite quickly. The battery usage options shows that the battery is being used mostly by Android OS and Android systems (over 85% for the former).

My friend suggested that i install a custom rom because it might be that the OS is corrupt. I bought the phone brand new and it came packed with an ICS stock rom. In the recovery mod the phone states that it is an S-off, with a CID #111111.

So i flashed the phone last night and installed a Jelly Bean Bindroid rom but the problem still persists. The phone drains the battery even when on stand by.

The phone runs fine besides the battery running out way too quickly issue.

Could anyone please help me with deterring what the cause of this problem might be and if the S-off thing has anything to do with it? and if so, how can I solve this battery problem? could it be a hardware issue?

Please help me. Im a NOOB at this!!!

Thank you in advance.
[HTC One X] ayo234:
Might be a faulty battery. Look for a replacement OEM battery.
[HTC One X] ulgaming:
Check task manager too see which apps are running. Disable background sync if it's enabled, delete htc sense account if you have added it in account settings (it's a real battery hog).

Also, try to charge the phone to 100% battery 2-3 times and then check the battery performance.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Use BetterBatteryStats (search on here for the apk and instructions on how to use it).

Or, factory reset.

Hellò, I have a problem during the procedure to get the phone upgraded.

During that procedure, it asks me to shut off the phone, then wait for 5 seconds and then plug the microusb in while holding the volume down key. But nothing happen!

is there something wrong in the procedure?

do I have to do something else to upgrade it?

My OS in Windows Seven.

please, help!!!

thank you

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Thats sounds like a driver issue, Make sure you have installed the drivers before trying to connect in flashmode.

Install pccompanion and run it then attach phone whilst it is turned on. That will install the correct drivers, then it should work
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fcasini:
thank you Greg for reply. I have uninstalled both SUS and Pc Companion and then reinstalled SUS first but once launched I receive an error message and SUS closes.

Then I have uninstalled SUS and reinstalled Pc Companion, then connected the phone and started the upgrade procedure. Unfortunately, it stops when asks me to plug in the usb cable while pressing the volume down key, and then nothing happens... again...

On the drive page of Windows Seven, there is: "Apple Mobile Device Usb Driver: ready for use"

Tryed also on another pc but the same thing happens

what can I do to upgrade my T?

thanks

fausto
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
It shouldnt be an apple device.

make sure you have installed the drivers. Did you do this

1) Uninstall all sony programs (PCCompanion, SUES etc)

2) Reinstall PCCompanion

3) OPen PCCompanion

4) Turn on phone and attach to PC

5) Let the drivers install

6) Then try to update
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fcasini:
thank you again Greg, I did it but without any result.

It asks me to keep the volume down key pushed and then connect the usb cable but once done, nothing still happens...

Should I turn off the Usb debug option?

I start thinking that my phone will never be updated...

bye

have a nice day

fausto
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No, you need USB debugging enabled and you should be in MTP mode for your connectivity in settings

Does the computer make any noise when you connect?

Does the phone do anything when you connect, like power up, or do you get a green LED light up?

Try this, and report back

Download, instal and run flash tool

Try to connect to that in flash mode. Post here what flash tool says

Sent from my LT30p xda premium app.

How do I customise the signature on xda premium app?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fcasini:
Hi Greg, and thank for your patience,

When I connect the phone to the computer, it sounds like when I connect a usb device.

When the phone is connecte to the computer, le notification led light up, red first then green when battery reach 100%.

Currently, I have downloaded "Emma" but I am still waiting to receive the email to activate the account.

When I will finally receive it, I can tell you something more.... sorry:((

ciao

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Please download flashtool.

Its in the first thread in the development section.

Install it, and run it.

Attach the phone whilst it is turned on and tell me what flashtool says....

Then try to attach in flashmode whist flashtool is open and tell me what it says

Please follow these instructions so that i can help you
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fcasini:
Hi Greg,

I have downloaded and installed Flashtool but when I try to run it i get the attached error message and of course it doesn't start. Both antivirus and firewall were disabled.

What do you mean when you say: "Then try to attach in flashmode"? Perhaps a special combination of keys during boot?

thanks

fausto
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Thats a windows issue, all I can suggest is removing all sony programs, rebooting and starting again. Also, make sure you have java installed.

Or try another machine, to see if its your computer thats at fault.

Once you have flashtool installed properly and it runs properly we can continue.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fcasini:
Hi Greg,

finally it works!!!.

I had to change the property of flashtool.exe and set it to be compatible with Windows 2000.... that's all...

Now, once connected the phone, flashtool reports:

20/004/2012 20:04:23 - INFO - <- This level is successfully initialized

and now?:)

thank you

fausto
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
good to hear, so my initial thoughts were correct.

glad it worked out for you. and dont forget to change your title to solved.

Edit the OP and click on advanced.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fcasini:
thank you Greg, but now what I have to do? Install PCC or SUS and try to update or I can use Flashtool too?

bye

fausto
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Instal pccompanion and update that way,

If there is no official update for you then you can flash an updated ftf in flashtool, or root and/or unlock your bootloader to flasha custom rom.

Its all in the all in the one thread, give it a good read
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fcasini:
While You were writing, I have installed Sus but with the same bad result:

I get the attached error message, and log file reports:

Hi, i have a good news. Sony PC Companion and Sony Update Service have recognized my Xperia T. Not 100%, i muss wait for the download of new firmware.

I don't know what was the problem. May be was USB 3.0 or my Mouse or ....

I have all uninstalI and install Flasttool from our 4rum, than Emma from Sony. restart PC.

I have plugged cable in USB 2.0, (earlier was USB 3.0; another device out) than start Emma. Emma has recognized my Xperia T.

and now come the magic. All of programs can recognize my Xperia.

Now i'm download the update for my Phone from Sony Update Service. If that is successful, i will say u.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
Regarding getting Windows 7 or later to recognise the Xperia T in different USB modes (flash mode, and etc.) I had loads of problems myself with Flashtool and drivers being recognised.

On Win7+, the OS searches Windows Update while installing new hardware. In the case of my Xperia it exited flash mode before the driver finished installing and that was the last cause of my issue.

I had to set the phone into flash mode, and click on the new hardware wizard icon and cancel 'check windows update for new drivers' to get the already installed driver loaded in time for things to happen, and before the phone booted back into normal mode.

This also happens on a per-port basis so changing USB ports on your PC can reintroduce the problem!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] fcasini:
thank you Julivico, I tried it several days ago but I have not yet received the login and password in order to start the program, so it is unusable at the moment.

I don't know what to do else...

btw, thank you for support.
