I watched your Youtube video, but I'm having issues getting Google App Store onto the device. When I run the Utility app and select it (option 6, then option 1), this is what I get:

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Even if I delete app.zip, it seems it cannot locate the correct download address:

Edit: After some digging, I found a copy on WebArchive.org, but even using this doesn't seem to work.

For the app.zip error, take the old version you found in the web archive and extract it into the apps\ folder out of apps.zip. That should give the correct file path for Utility and they should install correctly.

Problem reinstalling USB drivers for OtterX.

Windows Version : Windows 8.1

32-bit or 64-bit : 64-bit

What steps you have taken : trying to reinstall USB drivers for my Amazon OtterX (running SlimKat 8.10)

What device manager says about your device : shows Android ADB Interface instead of Android Composite ADB Interface.

Version of KFU you are using : v0.9.9

I don't think this is a problem with the KFU but perhaps someone can help.

All was working fine until I rooted a Nexus 7 (2012) using Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit.

I uninstalled USB drivers in Device Manager, rebooted, plugged device in and Device Manager

shows Android ADB Interface without even trying to install drivers. Tried running install_drivers.bat

but DM still shows ADB interface. Tried forcing Windows driver install but it tells me the drivers

are the correct ones for my device. Tried many other tips I found on line but they didn't help.

If I plug in the Nexus 7 the DM shows Composite ADB Interface and the device works with adb.

I wanted to try some of the Marshmallow ROMs but I'm stuck not being able to PUSH files.

Thanks in advance for any help,

The Don

Hey [MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION]!

First - Thank you so much for this handy utility. I've used it to root my device and install TWRP, very handy.

However, when I went to try and install the Google Play Store app, the utility got stuck on trying to download the files from kennocha... I wasn't able to resolve the site in my browser either. Is there another place from where I can download the correct files for the utility to work its magic?

Thanks,

that said, i'm using a dell comp with windows 8, 64 bit, and the last kindle update was 6.3.4

i downloaded the kindle fire utility, extracted it, and attempted to run it.

i got as far as starting the installation wizard (and granting permission to make changes to my hard drive), it began to run, and i received this error message from the wizard:

"cannot complete the device driver installation wizard

Long story short, I followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXB4Fd-RPPw

And I also did some trouble shooting searching through xda to try and get this working...no luck.

I need help rooting this Kindle Fire (1st Gen) ... I am stuck and out of options

Windows Verson:

32-bit

What steps you have taken:

I have installed KFU 0.9.9 ... ran the install_drivers bat file ... ran the run bat file ... and I get ADB ONLINE ... so I choose #2 for root and supersu install ... and I get STUCK with the auto fastboot error 4002 ... and nothing happens so I have to start over again...

So I uninstall the driver and then just installed the driver in the KFU folder and I get this (see attached image below).

What device manager says about your device:

It says that the driver I install by plugging in the kindle fire 6.3.4 is working properly.

It says that there is nothing wrong when I install the driver in the KFU folder, it is working properly.

Version of KFU you are using:

0.9.9

Exact error you recieve:

Problem using utility

I tried to use the utility to root my device but it doesn't work.

I tried both 0.98 and 0.99 versions. I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bit.

After downloading the utility and unzip it, I ran "install_drivers.bat", then I plugged my phone in and ran "run.bat" and chose option 2. The program starts, reboots my phone in Fastboot mode and displays the following message:

twrp.img is missing

So we will download it for you

It downloads it and then I get the message

twrp.img has been found

fff.bin is missing

So we will download it for you

And it tries several times to connect and download the missing file (I let it run for a while and at least 20 attempts) without success.

I tried to download the file using my web browser but the connection always times out.

The file is: fff-u-boot+v1.4a.bin

and the address: h t t p : / / random.kennocha. com/kindle/firefirefire/fff-u-boot+v1.4a.bin

THANKS! ...and can't download FireFireFire...

Thanks to you and the others who do the work on great tools like KFU and make them available to the rest of us!

I looked through this thread and saw similar problems to mine (below) but not this exactly. I apologize if this was answered already...

I have bought ten Kindle Fires of various generations on the cheap, to repurpose and use with 3rd and 5th graders that I volunteer teach on the weekends.I am starting with a first gen KF that has software 6.3.2. I downloaded the KFU 0.9.9. It rooted and installed TWRP with no problem (thanks again!).

When I try to install FireFireFire, it seems that the host server with the program cannot be reached. KFU tries 15 times with messages of "Connecting to random.kennocha.com|108.6131.80|:80... failed: Connection timed out." Then it gives up. (Who can blame it? ;) )

Can I download FireFireFire1.4a.bin elsewhere? Or am I doing something wrong on my end?

Thanks again, profusely! These tablets are going to be a great teaching tool and will excite my students a lot.

Help with KF ROM

Windows 7 64-bit

I have successfully rooted my first gen Kindle Fire (7.5.1) per Root Analyzer. I had to use Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33 since KFU is broken.

I haven't been able to sucessfully install Google Play Store WITH Play Services. I have some sucess with getting apps from the Play Store, but it's still buggy.

"Kindle" shows up twice in the device manager: Portable Device and as an ADB device, so drivers are there. I've installed recommended APK's multiple times and still get "Google Play Services has Stopped", "Play Store has Stopped" and "google.process.gapps has stopped". I'm assuming what I'm installing is outdated. Ideally. I'd like to make my Kindle an Android tablet to use as a search and remote for YouTube TV and still have a Kindle app to read content.

Is there an updated thread that will help me install a new ROM on my first gen Kindle 7.5.1?
