[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hey

I spent all night reading . . . . well pretty much every page on this forum. I am stuck - I am sure that if I had a normal Kindle Fire it would be rooted by now. I found the tutorial really easy to follow.

This demo unit automatically fires up in demo mode every time. A few notes that may help before I get into what I done. When using the swipe down menu, I only have a couple of options and cant get the the security settings (Im sure at this moment that ADB connectivity is disabled). I am unable to check which software this unit is running. If I try to get into the more option nothing happens, if you try to turn of parental controls the unit stated "this feature isnt availble in demostration mode". When connected in via USB - unit states its connected as media device, is listed as kindle under portable devices in device managers, and in my computer shows as a portable media player, with no contents if clicked on. If you check in the properties your can see a firmware version and a serial number but thats it.

This model has a Demo screen saver which kicks in if the unit is left idle for a few minutes, when it does is disconnects from th system then reconnects and is recognised again. If trying all this and ensuring the screensaver doesnt start still have no effect.

I have completed the windows 7 bug fix as here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36373627

and attempting to install the kindle fire abd drivers or the USB_drivers the PC always states that I am currently using the correct drivers and the kindle is listed as "kindle" under portable devices.

I have also tried with the SDK package with the notes here - https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html

I have completed the actions in this videos also - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khrxo0-NieM&feature=youtu.be

I have uninstalled the devices from my system numerours times but not matter which driver I try to install / force an update with. My system states that I am using the most upto date driver (MTP USB Device). I can uninstall the device from the system but I cant find any option to delete the drivers it auto assigns (wpdMTPdr.dll, winusb.sys, wudfrd.sys, wpdmtp.dll, wpdwtpus.dll). I would delted them manually but thought I would post here first - incase firther problems could arise.

Can anyone help with this issue, someone in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1828335&page=2

said they managed to do it, but didnt supply any info. I believe I have a driver and/or ADB connectivty issue.

At the moment I would just like to revert this Demo to a normal rooted kindle fire with the google play mod. If this isnt possible I would still like to root the device and just put an OS on there (jellybean seems to be the one of choice).

Thanks for reading this - and I look forward to the replies.

PS - The simple nood guide is by far the most informative and easy to follow guide that I have come accross. Had no problemn following the steps etc - like i said at the begging if this wasnt a demo model I am sure it would have been rooted by now. BIG BIG props to you guys especailly after seeing the lenght you go to helping people who didnt understand the guide! keep up the awesome work
