Now the drivers arnt working correctly and it wont be detected in adb devices now. What the heck!?

---------- Post added at 01:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

And when i try to manually add the drivers, android adb composite device or anytging related is not there.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
which twrp?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bloodstorm666:
The latest. 2.8. It was suggested for me to go down to 2.7.1.0 but i cannot get adb working to flash that. Do i need to try using my fastboot cable/linux??
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
if bootloader is working fastboot cable will not change anything

did you verify md5 for twrp. img?

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

Did you try flashing the 2.7.1.0 twrp? if so what error did you get?

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

If you have access to a linux pc, 2.8.2.0 MTP should work fine
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bloodstorm666:
I have 3 computers at home. I can install ubuntu on one of them. When the drivers work, the device says its unauthorized. I cannot get twrp 2.7.1.0 on the kindle.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
yes, but did you try flashing in fastboot?

fastboot flash recovery otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.img
[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
You may try flashing recovery using fastboot command (different than adb):

Start your recovery (twrp 2.8) -> reboot -> bootloader -> kindle will start fastboot mode -> flash recovery image with command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery_image_file.img

[Kindle Fire Android Development] bloodstorm666:
Ok ill try that once i get home from work. What will it be detected as in device manager?.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
OtterX, but that's not as important as, do the commands work? like,

fastboot devices

or

fastboot reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bloodstorm666:
I can't remember. I'll try messing with once I get home from work. But if I do succeed in downgrading twrp, is there another way to flash the ROM file while not using adb? Would it be easier to do in Linux?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
if you downgrade twrp, adb will likely work again.

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

The point of downgrading is so adb works again

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

MTP will not work with 2.7.1.0, but adb push should
[Kindle Fire Android Development] bloodstorm666:
I think I remember that I couldn't issue it any commands. Kept saying device unauthorized
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
Yes, in twrp, but you shouldn't get that error in fastboot mode.

you didn't watch my video did you?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Rev. Voodoo:
Holy smokes... my Kindle had been sitting on a shelf being a picture frame for quite some time now. I'd intended to OtterX-ify it but never got around to it, until now. I worked through the instructions but once I got the TWRP on there, my ADB was gone (showing unauthorized). Same problem other folks had mentioned. I read everything, watched the videos, screwed with the drivers, etc. I spent hours on it!! I was about to throw the kindle at something.... probably a cat, maybe the Christmas tree. I just could not get the fastboot thing to pick up to roll TWRP back. It would not freakin work.

Then it did, totally by accident. I unplugged the damn Kindle to do some other stuff and when I plugged it back in, I plugged it into a different USB port without realizing it. When I tried to reflash the older version of TWRP with fastboot it just worked. I rolled back, got a connection and using the suggestions above for tweaking drivers I worked through the process. Got my Lollipop goodness and everything!

So yeah, sometimes it might be as simple as switching USB ports and letting it reinstall the hardware.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bascotie:
Everything went smoothly until step 5. ADB is no longer seeing the device, I'm getting 'device not found'.

I rebooted and the error temporarily changed to something saying I was unauthorized. During the early steps, I was able to adb push with no problem.

Help please? :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
TWRP version?

Windows version?

try a different USB port?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bascotie:
Thanks for the fast reply, it looks like the device is showing up in dev manager with a ? and labeled as MTP (saying no driver for the device)

TWRP 2.8.3.0

EDIT: I right clicked on the missing driver, and selected "ADB Testing Interface" as the driver. Now it goes through and starts the daemon on port 5037 but I get the error:

"device unauthorized. Please check confirm. dialog on your device"

The device in is recovery mode so I don't get that dialog

[Kindle Fire Android Development] kvestas:
In my case it has been resolved after going back to TWRP 2.7.1. So you may try to install a lower TWRP version as well.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Bascotie:
The device is showing in dev manager properly it seems.

With the kindle off, I run fastboot devices, then it goes back to a flashing cursor awaiting a command.

I turn on the kindle.

Nothing shows up in command prompt. I try to flash anyway and it gets stuck 'waiting for device'. All the while, I see "Android ADB interface" in device manager.

If its any help, immediately prior to this I had prepped and installed CM11 on the kindle but was having issues with gapps so I proceeded to try this method.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention, at the part where I turn the kindle back on waiting for the return code, the kindle seems frozen. i cannot press power to bring up the recovery menu

TWRP 2.8.2.0's MTP has been working for me quite well most of the time. I suggest that most people install zip-otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.zip for the otterx converstion, once partitions are good 2.8.2.0 or 2.8.3.0 should work for most people, but suggest keeping zip-otterx-twrp-2.7.1.0-recovery.zip on sd card till you use 2.8.X.X a couple of times to be sure.

So does anyone have any suggestions for a TWRP 2.8.3.0 with no ADB working (constant unauthorized). No MTP driver. I have installed all of the drivers over and over. I can get the Otter to be seen in device manager but I cant push to it. I can get the device to show sideload but I can t seem to get a file "side-loaded" into it. I am currently stuck with an awesome TWRP only device. Oh and I have already wiped the whole damned thing.

Wiped OS, can boot to updated TWRP, shows unauthorized ADB - Help!

I have been able to follow all the steps, get the right partitions. However, I may have been overzealous and I wiped all including previous OS installation -CM12. I can get into TWRP v2.8.3 and have gotten drivers I think installed. When in TWRP I have Adroid ADB Interface showing up in device manager.

I have the files necessary to push through ADB but can't get the device as "authorized" so I can get the push to work. I can't get into "debugging mode' as I wiped the previous OS.

Any suggestions? FYI - I'm fairly comfortable with everything explained here but by no means am I a programmer. Any help is appreciated.

don't use adb push with twrp 2.8.3.0, use MTP

I would appreciate any help you can give I am stuck with ADB not letting me push files. I am SOOO close just need to push rom and GAPPS.

TWRP version: 2.8.3.0

otterX bootloader

no backup

so like many people I have read about I can't get ADB to communicate with device in order to push. KFU will recognize device as online but bootstatus is unknown.

Are there any tricks I can perform in order to get ADB to work? I have a feeling it is a driver issue but I have tried all drivers I have had to use this far.

Any help would be much appreciated. I have tried almost all methods of fixes I have seen this far the only one I have not tried is to use linux and soupkit.
