I followed the step on the bottom of the page developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html

Known Issues

Windows users only: If you previously connected your Kindle Fire device to your computer without first enabling ADB, your device may not be detected by ADB. Complete the following steps to force a re-installation of the Kindle Fire device driver.

Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer's USB port using the USB cable.

From the Start menu, right-click Computer and select Manage.

In the left pane, under Computer Management, expand System Tools, and click Device Manager.

In the right pane, locate and expand Other devices.

Right-click the device name Kindle and click Properties.

In the Kindle Properties window, on the Driver tab, click Uninstall, then Confirm, and then unplug your device from your computer.

Follow the instructions in this article to connect your device to ADB.

After rooting it's better to disable ADB on the Kindle or i can safely leave this enabled? Thanks as always!!

Solid Power Manager

Darth_ron,

That is odd, we have that application installed on our 7" HD. Have you tried Go Power or any solid

power manager will work. I just mention JuiceDefender since they have a large following and

greatest success. Remember, if an application does not work, contact the developer to see if

they can offer you a fix. You can find the developer information in Google Play when you expand

down the application description. We have had quite a few cases resolved by contacting the

developer.:good:

jeremy_fr,

Yes, I saw your output and noticed the output seemed to direct me toward the same Bug that we found in Vista

but if you already checked your path statement then we will move forward. I do understand you see ADB Composite

Interface but something is blocking your ADB Communication. Until we solve the ADB Issue, you can not move

forward. Have you listened to the RevTV Video regarding ADB Installation? ADB must be 100% before we can make

progress.

Root Kindle Fire 2 and HD

xXreptar,

You becha, this works on the Kindle Fire 2, the Kindle Fire HD 7" and the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" as well as a number of

other Androids. If you get stuck, either post the notes or give me a call - either way we will get er done.

bdeatha,

We do have SIMS 3 but it is not for distribution. This game is a paid application and needs to be purchased from either

Google Play or directly from the vendor: http://thesims.com/en_US/v1/the-sims-3-pcmac?utm_medium=paid-search

So if I understand you correctly, you are able to use adb successfully to push and pull files but you can not see the

Kindle drive in Windows Explorer? Sometimes I have seen people turn off adb on the Kindle and the drive appears

although I suspect there is a broken driver. Have you reinstalled the driver? How about attempting to install the

Android Universal Driver: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/usb_driver.zip ? This is the one we use on our

support workstations. It requires manual installation as noted in the video How to Install ADB Video. Once you

have adb installed correctly, everything will come together.

bdeatha,

If you go into the Windows XP Device Manager, do you see Kindle under Portable Devices? This is the Device

that mounts the Kindle Internal Drive. The other idea is to install WiFi File Transfer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smarterdroid.wififiletransfer&hl=en this will allow you to transfer files over WiFi. The preferred

method is to get the driver installed properly. Check out the Video, I suspect a manual driver install will solve

your issues.

Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" Kindle Fire

domz10,

Try running Root MANY ANDROID! twice in a row. So you will run RunMe.bat, press Restore, allow the Kindle to

Reboot, then run Root MANY ANDROID! a second time, press restore allow the Kindle to reboot. Then check in

the Apps on the Device, do you see Superuser? If yes, click on Superuser to see if it opens, if yes, follow

the instructions to install Root Checker Basic.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
mogumei,

Thank you for the post. The Amazon driver is suppose to be designed to install both ADB Composite and the Portable

driver, so when you toggle from ADB On it enables ADB Composite Driver and when you turn ADB Off, it will change to

the Kindle Portable devices driver. The Google driver on the other hand will not work with ADB Turned off, so depending

on the driver source will depend on whether you can turn ADB On and Off. Thank you again, this will help those who

are stuck.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] prokennexusa:
ADB Driver Question

Headlessbody,

Thank you for posting the question. If you installed the Google Driver, you will need to leave ADB On to access the

Kindle Internal Drive. If you used the Amazon Device Driver, you can use the Kindle with ADB On or Off. Shutting

down ADB does free up system resources since ADB is a background service. It does not hurt to turn off ADB, it

just may disconnect computer access to the Internal Drive. If this is the case, all you do is turn ADB back on

when you want to access the Kindle Internal Drive.

you may find the Google Play Magazine App to be a little more polished with regards to performance. If Google

Marketintentproxy.apk May be In Use - Reboot Please

dontlookback,

The file marketintentproxy.apk may be in use by the operating system. Reboot and immediately after reboot, see if you

can move or rename marketintentproxy.apk. The service that uses marketintentproxy.apk is the Amazon Store, so maybe

you can initiate a Force Stop in More +, Applications, Installed Applications - Scroll down to Amazon Store, click on Force

Stop, then try to move or rename marketintentproxy.apk.

Kindle Fire appears in Device Manager but not in Explorer

I am running Windows 7 64-bit. Previous to rooting, my Kindle Fire HD appeared in Windows Explorer and I could drag and drop files to it. I've followed the rooting procedure. Successfully got to "Root Step 6: Using Windows Explorer, move suchecker from the desktop to /Kindle/Internal Drive/Download". My Kindle is not appearing in Windows Explorer, so I can't do this.

In device manager, it does show Kindle Fire --> Android Composite ADB Interface. It also shows Other Devices --> MTP. There is a yellow exclamation point next to MTP.

I have tried using different USB cables and different USB ports.

When I connect and reconnect my Kindle to the USB, I get a message that says "USB Compatability: Some computers require a free file-transfer utility to copy files between the computer and your Kindle. If you need this utility, please open your computer's browser and navigate to kindle.com/support/downloads." I did this, but the only files there for Windows are for Windows XP.

Any advice or input as to what I did wrong?

Thank you!

Root and Google Play for Amazon 7" and 8.9" Kindle Fire HD

alspharmd,

Your driver is not properly installed. The driver should display Android ADB Interface or Android ADB Composite

Interface. The problem is the Yellow Triangle over MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) is your problem. If you download

the USB Driver here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/54456659/usb_driver.zip

Extract usb_driver.zip to usb_driver on your desktop. Go to the Windows Device Manager, double click the MTP

Yellow Triangle and choose Update Driver.

Then Choose 'Browse My Computer for driver software' Next you will see a window to 'Browse' Click on 'Browse' and

navigate to the usb_driver folder and click OK. It should install the driver. If you continue to

have trouble, check out the driver install video: How to Install ADB Video

Be sure to enter the following command before you attempt to install the driver:

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

If all else fails, go back to the tutorial and start from the top. The key is the Yellow Triangle, until this is solved you

can not move forward.

Issues...

I am having issues with the drivers and Windows 8 64bit. I disabled driver enforcement by going to Settings>Change Pc Settings>General<Advance Startup (Restart)<Advance Tools<Disable Driver Enforcement. So I installed the official drivers and nothing shows up in cmd (Device is listed in Device Manager. No triangle.). I have tried the drivers in Qmenu and nothing. I tried the drivers in the AndroidSDK and won't install on 64bit? Kinda at a loss on ideas. :confused:

I can confirm that this does not work. Reset Kindle, manually installed SDK, installed every USB driver and zip file in this whole thread. Still no root. Tried on multiple PC's. After 3 hours of trying on my second day, I am going to go boil this worthless Kindle. Should have got a Nexus 7.

OMightyBuggy,

On Windows 8 it is extremely important to open an Administrative Prompt and enter the following:

bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

After this you proceed with the driver install: Kindle Fire ADB drivers

The driver we post in the Thread supports Windows 95 all the way up to Windows 8 64-bit.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] fairplay89:
I have progressed through the instructions at least twice now, once per PC. Still no root. If you guys have been able to root that many Kindles, awesome... but I can assure you that my results are much different.

Here is what I have done (on each PC):

- Plug device in and check that files can be written as normal.

- Go into XDA, download ALL files required for the project before starting.

- Install Kindle USB drivers as noted after running bcdedit commands. Even restarted.

- Switch Kindle to enable ADB... device connects to PC... shows as Kindle even after trying the alternative drivers, manual drivers, drivers from other forums and instructions, drivers from SDK..... you name it.

- Assume all is well and run RootMe.bat as an administrator. Blah blah blah.... files pushed, resets, etc. and says successful.

- IMMEDIATELY run QMenu.bat as admin... blah blah blah... several resets... says failed to copy local.prop (assuming this is a big error) but continues on.... Ok.....?

- Qmenu finishes and says it didn't work... run again... so run again with the same results. So 2 hours later.... give up on PC 1.

- Move to PC 2

- Download all files....

- Repeat the above steps multiple times with the same results.

- After an additional 3 hours, give up and move on.

No Anti-Virus or Firewall running, running everything as Admin, re-installed more drivers than I can count, multiple USB cords, multiple USB ports, multiple PC's, downloaded files more than once, verified that device shows in ADB........

PC's are running Windows 7 64 bit. Just successfully rooted Galaxy S3 and Asus Transformer Prime a week-ish ago, so I feel I have at least an idea of what is up, but alas.... no results.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Kindle Fire Rooting Problem

Good evening Chris (prokennexusa),

First of all I have gone through all of the these threads and I don't think I've every come across an individual such as yourself with so much patience. I really can appreciate that! There were a lot of nay sayers that said the Kindle Fire could not be rooted... that myth can be put to rest now thanks to you and your crew. I have the KF with current version 10.2.5_user_2521220 (if that makes any sense) and I was flowing fine until I came across these steps and couldn't go any further. At the risk of coming across like a total bafoon, here are my questions to were I'm essentially stuck.

Root Step 5: Download suchecker.apk: - This part was easy. I

downloaded to my desktop but wanted to know if I'm suppose to drag and drop onto my KF's Internal Storage (No SD Card that I'm aware of or

see).

Root Step 6: Using Windows Explorer, move suchecker from the desktop to /Kindle/Internal Drive/Download - Again, I

downloaded to my desktop and wasn't clear on whether to drag and drop onto my KF then extract the files there.

Root Step 6: Now go to the Kindle. Using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, go to /sdcard/Download/suchecker.apk choose Install -

I'm really baffled here because again, I do not have an SD Card. I can see both files (suchecker/ES File Explorer) on my

laptop via the USB connection but have no idea where to look on the Kindle its self.

I'll be patiently awaiting your reply and btw, keep up the good work!
