Kindle Fire 7" HD ADB Driver

The first step is to get the ADB Driver installed.

The following ADB Driver was provided by Amazon and should install: Kindle Fire ADB drivers

If not, I have an alternative driver here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/usb_driver.zip

The alternative driver originates from the Android SDK and is universal for just about any Android device.

Extract the alternative driver to your desktop and follow the install instructions at the bottom of this response.

The instructions are for Windows XP but can be used with Windows 7 and Vista.

Once we get ADB installed then let's plugin the Kindle to your computer to see if it initializes properly.

Reply once you have done this step OR respond with the error OR where you are stuck. We will get you on Google Play!

Amazon Notes regarding this ADB Driver can be found here: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html

ALTERNATIVE DRIVER INSTALL (Vista/XP/Windows7):

Windows XP

To install the Android USB driver on Windows XP for the first time:

1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows will detect the device and launch the Hardware Update Wizard.

2. Select Install from a list or specific location and click Next.

3. Select Search for the best driver in these locations; un-check Search removable media; and check Include this location in the search.

4. Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located on your desktop \usb_driver\.)

5. Click Next to install the driver.

Or, to upgrade an existing Android USB driver on Windows XP with the new driver:

1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.

2. Right-click on My Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.

3. Select Device Manager in the left pane.

4. Locate and expand Android Phone in the right pane.

5. Right-click Android Composite ADB Interface and select Update Driver. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.

6. Select Install from a list or specific location and click Next.

7.Select Search for the best driver in these locations; un-check Search removable media; and check Include this location in the search.

8. Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located on your desktop \usb_driver\.)

9.Click Next to upgrade the driver.

Thanks for replying! The first ADB Driver (provided by Amazon) is the one that has given me the same error every time... something about an error and me installing the drivers manually (I have no idea how to do). The second link (dropbox) is broken... So right off the bat I'm stuck. The thing is, when I go to device manager, my Kindle Fire says "Android Composite ADB Interface"... I thought I already had ADB, but it appears that no matter what I do I can't get it to work... I don't have SDK or anything like that, though I'm downloading it to see if anything works...

OK, stop there. Even though it gave you an install error, it looks like the driver is installed. So let's move forward assuming they are functioning enough to get the job done.

Leave the Kindle plugged into USB and move on to my step-by-step which can be found 3/4 the way down on this Thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2064633

Note: The Kindle is left plugged in to USB through the entire tutorial.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Krawdd:
Thanks again. So I have the tool run with restore by bin4ry v18. When I open the folder, there is a RunMe.bat. I right click on it and click on run as administrator. It starts up and I write 1 to use normal mode. When it says that my Kindle should ask me for "restore", my Kindle is sitting there, doing nothing. It doesn't ask me for a restore. Then it says that my device will reboot in 10 seconds... My Kindle, again, does nothing. So that doesn't work... Now, I did another thing. I shift-right-clicked on the inside of the folder and clicked open command window here, then on the cmd that opened up I wrote "runme.bat" So it started the thing again, asked me for the number, etc. I write 1, and then this comes up (and it's stuck there): "Cheking if i should run in Normal Mode or special Sony Mode Please connect your device with USB-Debugging enabled now Waiting for device to shop up, if nothing happens please check if Windoes ADB-drivers are installed correctly!" Now, I have ADB turned ON on my Kindle. I also have the "Install apps" ON on my Kindle... Any suggestions?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
I see the problem. The way you are executing the batch files will cause the utilities to fail. You can not run the batch files (RunMe.bat and RootQemu.bat) through the mouse, you must execute them through a CMD Prompt.

OK, let's start from the top.

Let's make sure all the utilities are on your desktop.

Next Double Mouse Click and Open the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 folder.

Single Left Mouse Click on the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 folder toolbar.

This highlights the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 folder.

Note: Make sure none of the files within the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 are highlighted in blue.

Next Press the SHIFT Key, next Right Hand Mouse Click

Choose "Open command window here"

A Command window will open, type:

RunMe.bat

Go back to my tutorial and follow the steps (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2064633), when you are ready to run Qemu

Next Double Mouse Click and Open the Qemu folder.

Single Left Mouse Click on the Qemu folder toolbar.

This highlights the Qemu folder.

Note: Make sure none of the files within the Qemu are highlighted in blue.

Next Press the SHIFT Key, next Right Hand Mouse Click

Choose "Open command window here"

A Command window will open, type:

RootQemu.bat

Go back to my tutorial and follow the steps (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2064633).
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Krawdd:
Thanks for the reply. As I said in the previous post, I had already done the "shift right click and open windows command here" thing. It doesn't work. This is where it gets to and stays there forever "Cheking if i should run in Normal Mode or special Sony Mode Please connect your device with USB-Debugging enabled now Waiting for device to shop up, if nothing happens please check if Windoes ADB-drivers are installed correctly!" Now, I have ADB turned ON on my Kindle. I also have the "Install apps" So I'm stuck right at the first step... Doesn't matter what way I run the batch files I can't get them to work.

ADB Communication Issues

Let's check the ADB communication path on your workstation.

Open a command prompt at the root of the Qemu folder, type:

adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices

The next command will probably fail, but let's try it:

android update adb

Finally, try:

adb shell

Reply back with the results.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Krawdd:
Thanks a lot! Well this are the results:

I did adb kill-server and nothing happened.

I did adb start-server and it said "daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037. daemon started succesfully"

I did adb devices and it said "list of devices attached" and then a blank space after that..

I did android update adb and it said "android is not a recognized internal or external command"

I did adb shell and it said "device not found"

I did all of that in the QemuRoot folder.. Am I doing it right? I double click on the folder to open it and then I click on the white space below all the files (while holding shift) and open the command window.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
ADB Server Out of Date

Yes, you did this perfectly.

Hmmmm, looks like the ADB Driver is NOT working, bummer.

We need to focus on getting the driver functional.

Step 1) Go into Windows Add/Remove Software, find the Android ADB Driver, Uninstall the driver. If you can not find the driver in Add/Remove, then use the Uninstall Utility found in the Qemu folder "Drivers".

Step 2) Remove the Kindle from USB. Reboot the PC.

Step 3) Plug the Kindle back into USB after startup.

Step 4) When the PC has completed the reboot cycle, let's try to install the driver manually using the driver inside the usb_driver folder. Follow my instructions performing a manual driver install.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Krawdd:
I deleted everything, I rebooted my PC, plugged in my Kindle and it started to install the Kindle drivers... (the normal ones)... It got an error and the driver didn't install... I got to manage under "computer" and i see "other devices" and under that it says "kindle" with a yelow exclamation mark... I go to its properties and drivers, I click update driver and use the folder that you gave me (usb_driver) and it gives me an error, saying that it could not find drivers... now do I set it to install the driver in C:\Users\Name\Desktop\usb_driver? or after usb_driver should I add \amd65 or \i386?

Thanks for your help... I don't know why nothing is working out!!

By the way, i just tried to install the adb drivers again and I got the same error... saying I have to install them manually. I ran both the bin4ry v18 and the qemuroot and both got stuck at "*daemon started successfully*" and they just sit there doing nothing...
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
ADB Driver Install

Yes, you are correct on the path: C:\Users\Name\Desktop\usb_driver

Let's try to install the Kindle Fire ADB Driver provided by Amazon. This time Right Hand Mouse Click over the Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe driver choose "Run as Administrator".

If that fails, try to Right Hand Mouse Click over the Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe driver choose Properties.

Then select the "Compatibility" tab

Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for"

Choose Windows XP Service Pack 2

Finally Right Hand Mouse Click over the Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe driver choose "Run as Administrator".
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Krawdd:
Didn't work... I'm using windows 7 though... When I plugged in my Kindle it said something like Android ADB Composite installed succesfully... It did it by its own... When I try to install the Amazon ADB I get the same error, that i have to install it manually... I tried running the bin4ry root again and it doesn't work...

We are missing something, usually simple.

What is the date and time stamp on the adb.exe daemons in the Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17 "Stuff" folder?

ADB Server Out of Date

I thought I was going crazy. I knew it had to be something simple. You must have downloaded these utilities (Qemu and Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17) from the developers site and not our site. Our utilities include the latest ADB daemons

which are dated 11/05/2012 11:06AM.

This is your problem.

Please use our utilities:

Kindle_Fire_HD_ADB_Drivers

Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17

Qemu

Then go back to our step-by-step instructions. The ADB driver is probably fine, so you can probably bypass that step.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Krawdd:
Genius!!! It went smoothly, I did all the steps on the bin4ry and then qemu, and it said you now have root! How do I now if I actually have root? I don't see any different app in my kindle, I think I should have something like superuser?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
Initialize Superuser.apk

Yes, you should see Superuser.apk in the APPS Folder. Go ahead and launch Superuser.apk to initialize it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Krawdd:
I guess it was too good to be true... there's no superuser.apk in the apps folder.. what to do? I already tried rooting it again and it said that i was rooted again

EDIT: I just woke up and tried again. Instead of usin first the root with restore and second the qemu, I used root with restore twice. Now I have a different app called SuperSU... It isn't Superuser though... It has a picture of the android robot wiith a cape flying... I opened but I have no idea what to do with it!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Caryaz:
It worked for the error that you are having.

Hello i just read your post.. before continue sorry about my English is not perfect but i will try to to explain hot to explain the "solution"..

ok the first thing you need to do,is uninstall all the ADB drivers from the device manager.

after that you have to restart your PC..

when your pc is already started install de ADB drivers and then connect your kindle..! and let windows install the drivers again.

It worked for my so i hope it work for you.. =)

adb devices returns empty list?

Hi all,

I have been struggling with the same problem as User:Krawdd! However, I have been using the adb.exe file provided in your guide (which is very detailed and informative, Thanks). With the datestamp: 05/11/2012 11:06! The issue is still the same, that when selecting "1" in Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17\RunMe.bat "Checking if i should run in Normal Mode or special Sony Mode

Please connect your device with USB-Debugging enabled now

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *" nothing happens :confused: furthermore: the commands adb-devices gives me a space and nothing else. However, I can see Kindle Fire\Android Composite ADB Interface in the Device Manager after installing the USB driver provided in this thread. When attempting to install the generic: "usb_driver" it says no drivers were found in this folder. Please provide assistance. Any help is much appreciated!

P.S: Also I don't know if this is relevant but my kindle is out of the box running OS version 7.2.3_ and has my account registered to it. Do I need to reset to factory settings before rooting? "Enable ADB" is set to On, "Install from unknown Sources" is also set to on! Should I only enable ADB once the driver is installed?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Krawdd:
Hey! I fixed my problem. I did a factory reset on my Kindle and rooted it that way... I really don't know what happened that I succeeded. If you have the files with the right timestamp, then run the first one (root with restore) and if it works, run it again. That's how I rooted mine, I didn't use Qemu.

[HTC One S] Kefmans:
Dear XDA-developers and forum users,

I've got a phone, a branded Htc One S from T-Mobile. Yesterday, some websites spread the info that there was a new update for this phone; an update to android 4.1. I defintely wanted this update so I went through my phone to Settings > Info > updater. Despite, no update was available. So I began googling for this issue and there was somebody who said that I have to unlock my Htc One S.

So I began unlocking my phone. My unlock went succesfull (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583427). After the unlock I tried to check for the update again. Still no update available. After asking an old friend of mine who knows a lot of rooting and unlocking, he said I'd better lock the device again. So I changed my mind to re-lock my htc one s.

So my question is, how can I re-lock my device? I hope that somebody is able to help me out with this.

As you have noticed im a total noob at rooting and unlocking etc.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin Knops

Searched Google, relevant XDA threads before posting, so if you found this, please share the link and accept my apologies. :)

I am using a 10.1 12-23 nighlty on VZW Gnex. Should there be a Users section in the Settings panel, or has this just not been done/merged yet? I see a lot of users running 10.1 that have there own image in the user Quick Panel tile; I'm sadly stuck with "Owner" and can't figure out how to change it because I don't seem to have a Users section on my settings panel.

Any ideas? I've tried a number of search terms but keep coming up empty....

Thanks for any help or insight you might provide!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmadallica:
I am not using CM 10.1 but an AOSP ROM so I think it will be the same.

The multi-user function is only for tablets, however, to just change the picture of that tile then you have to do the following:

1) Click on the user tile itself

2) Click again on the rectangle that shows

3) Click on the upper right 3 vertical dots

4) Click on "Edit"

5) Click on the square beside the owner name at the right (below the "contacts" icon)

6) Select the photo you want

7) After selecting the photo, click on the upper left tick sign (DONE) to save

Check the tile now... Well Done :)

Solved!

My solution was different - and may turn out to be painfully obvious to you guys - but the suggestions helped me figure it out, so thanks.

In my case, when I pressed on the tile the toast came up that the contact didn't exist. So when I looked in the contacts I realized I didn't have an entry for "Me" (listed at the top of the contacts). That was all I was missing. Duh!

Thanks for your help and suggestions, cause it led me to the fix.

My device is Xperia Mini, on 4.0.4 . I once used "Smart Install" for Busybox, and then reflashed ROM (because there were lots of errors), but I noticed that there are some files that I've put there, when I was using the last ROM (I didn't put it again after reflashing), so I'm guessing it doesn't delete files, since I also had some problems with Busybox, which where also present in the previous ROM. I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery, and my bootloader is unlocked.

Did anyone had similar problems?
