Have the drivers sparkym3 has linked in his post. Have any and all other devices disconnected(made that mistake already) Have ADB access on and have allow installation from unknown sources checked as well. Tried the micro usb cable that came with the kindle a long with the cable that came with my Galaxy S 3. Computer sees the Kindle without issue but ADB can't seem to find it. Where am i going wrong.
Sh!!!!!tttt my bad for posting this here please move or delete.
Did you check to see if the Kindle shows up in your device manager as Composite ADB Interface?

I posted this in the development thread. If you have the SDK installed and you get "error: device not found" or something to that effect when you run Adb Shell, you need to do the following steps.
Navigate to the [your user name]/.android folder under C:\Users
Edit the adb_usb.ini file by adding the following line of code at the end:
0×1949
Close and save the file.
Now find the folder where your SDK is installed, and open the usb_driver folder. In that folder, find the file android_winusb.inf and add the following code to both the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections:
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
Reboot and then run adb shell again. It should recognize your device. This worked for me.

Attached is the adb_usb.ini, just locate it in c:\%user%\.android directory and remove the ".txt" at the end.
Try rebooting your computer after installing the drivers, then plug in the KF HD.

I have tried this and have not had luck. In Device Manager, it shows up as Android ADB Interface (does not have the word Composite like everyone elses'). Is this significant? I also get a pop up on my kindle about USB Compatibility with a link to download a file transfer utility. I have transferred files before, although now I don't appear to be able to.
same here haven't been able to get this to work. Still the same ADB doesn't see the device at all.

Keep trying. Following this guide is what did it for me https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html . I did this and every other method on my laptop with no luck (USB drivers crapped on me altogether, nothing works now). I finally got it to work on my computer after several attempts. Even once its working, its still fragile and requires you to unplug and reconnect often. And don't forget to turn on ADB on the Kindle (obvious, but sometimes it happens!) Good luck!

Unzip the attached android.zip to C:\users\"your user"(such as administrator)\
Also, the sparkym3's derive is needed to install.

I'm in exactly the same boat.
I was able to transfer files, but after I installed the driver, I wasn't able to do so.
It shows up as "Android ADB Interface".
And of course, I tried doing everything mentioned, and I can't get into it.

That is exactly what I was seeing on my HP laptop, but it has wonky usb drivers (have had issues with other devices). They're total broke now, it wouldn't even recognize my GNex anymore. If you can, I'd recommend trying another computer - friends or other. I don't know if that Device name has any significance, but when I did get it to work on my desktop computer it was listed as "Android Composite ADB Interface"

Yeah, I also can't get it to connect to my GNex either. I'm trying on another computer now but still no progress...
For those who are having driver issues; try this program to clean your device drivers in Microsoft Windows.
GhostBuster
Here is my simple instructions, but do advise you to read the actual online documentation.
Under the Status Column RIGHT click on each item, and select "Add Device".
Check "Create System Restore Checkpoint", then Select "Remove Ghosts".
Select DEVICE(s) only in the following Catagories:
Android Phone
Disk drives
Kindle Fire
Other devices
Portable Devices
Storage Volumes
Universal Serial Bus controllers
I hope this is helpful for someone, this worked very well for me.
The exact same thing is happening to me. No matter what I do, I cant' get adb to recognize it. It says "Android ADB Interface" instead of "Android Composite USB Interface" or whatever.

I was having the same issue like you guys. After playing around with it, I got it working.
1. uninstall all Kindle Fire HD drivers in control panel
2. download/install the Kindle Fire HD drivers from Android SDK extra
3. reconnect your Kindle Fire HD. It should say Android Composite USB Interface in Device Manager
* If that doesn't work, try restore your KFHD to factory settings. I actually did that first.

So I just installed Windows 7 on my machine and was trying to ADB with my Android since I used it ALL the time on Windows XP.
I put the phone in Debug mode and plugged into my computer and told it the location of the driver. It seems to work well for a second and then it tells me that there was a problem installing the driver. It then says:
HTC ADB Composite Device Driver (not sure exactly of this...)
Access is Denied

Nope I have administrative rights and even tried it in safe mode.
Would you be able to zip up the drivers you used or link to where you downloaded them from?
So strange.
Even if you have admin rights, UAC can f it up.
Make sure you right click on command prompt and click "Run as Administrator"
Also, do you have x64? That requires a signed drivers. I don't remember if the ADB drivers were signed by microsoft, but if they aren't, it won't work unless you apply the work around

USBDeview is awesome but....
Even after removing all of the drivers associated with my device, as soon as I try to install the fresh new drivers, I still get "Access Denied" at the end of the install.

I have this same issue on an Ideos U8150 and on XP... At one point in the past it was working (before I flashed Cyanogen 7). Since then I have tried numerous driver packages, both specific to my phone and generic, and have had no luck getting past the access denied error.. I have even gone as far as changing the registry permission as well as checking all of my folder permissions... I am stumped.
Adb root - run that from command prompt.

I know it a while ago since you posted this but still, it helped me fix the "Access denied" thing which i didn't know how to fix. I installed ADB drivers 3 times... anyways, tnx :good:
So If you are like me you had this same issue in 2022. Idk if it will be a fix for you but it was for me.
follow this youtube video for the exact setup so you can get hopfully the same out com to the T.

1. make sure you're in administrator mode for command prompt.
2. The file name has changed from what it was so instead of doing
cd adb\platform-tools_r30.0.4-windows\platform-tools
It's now this
cd adb\platform-tools\
This will get you to the correct path if you followed the file placement in the video.
next all you have to do is type
adb devices on the command prompt. to test if it worked
other things that you might have to try is seeing if the driver it self is being blocked. you might also have to turn off and back on developer mode. View other posts in this thread if it's still stuck for you. Hopefully I helped one person at least.
Hello I am living in Argentina and tried to root my Kindle Fire HD but drivers don´t recognize my kindle.
Take a look to this print screen...

Also, when I try to download emulators from Android SDK Manager, I cannot find the Kindle ones as you may see on the next pic:

Could anyone root a Kindle Fire HD outside US?
Any help or tips?
Thank you!
the location shouldn't be your problem. lot's of users here are living outside the US and rooted their device anyway.
i think it's better not to use windows xp for this purpose.

Check out the links below. The first talks about instructions for adb. The second is the one you will want, it has the kindle fire hd add-ons(including drivers) for SDK. Follow the instructions in both links and you shouln't have a problem. They are direct from amazon.com.

onemeila I have done that and my Kindle is inaccesible... I cannot even transfer files now to it since I´ve installed all the software in those links and the forum. I tried to uninstall all and start all over but I have not got luck.
I think I should try to unlock it in another pc, but for now, I don´t have another for enough time to do it.
Thank you all for your answers. I`ll keep trying.
Hola hermano, greetings from Brazil!
First you need to install the proper Kindle drivers. Unfortunately the file provided on the tutorial do not work.
Get it in the Android SDK Manager
- Check the boxes under
-Extras:
--Kindle Fire USB Driver and
--Google USB Driver
It is NOT INSTALLED YET!
Go to
C:\Users\[your user]\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver
Then install the file
Kindle Fire ADB drivers.exe
To get a file manager living outside the US you have to sideload it via ADB.
I have written about that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33324200&postcount=5
You can use any file manager with Root Access. I have used ES File Explorer.
If you don't have an US Credit Card you can't download any file managers on your kindle. You have to sideload it via adb
So this is what I did:
1) Google "es file explorer apk". This is not illegal because this software is free. You can get it on trusteed and legal sites like slideme.org or softpedia.com
2) Download it and put it on a desktop folder called android (or whatever). Be sure it has a apk extension. Does not work with a zip or rar file; you must uncompress it if thats the case.
3) In the same folder put the qemu tool because it have the adb executable, you don't have to install it
4) On the Kindle Fire, turn on "ADB" on top menu/settings/security/adb
5) Plug the Kindle Fire on the PC via USB cable
6) Click on the Windows Start menu, then type "cmd" on the run box
7) In the command line, type
cd [folder name] [press enter]
adb kill-server [press enter]
adb devices [press enter]
adb install [name of the ES file manager apk] [press enter]
8) Unplug your Kindle typing
adb kill-server
again then eject it on the windows tray menu.
You can now see the ES File Manager icon on your apps menu.
On the ES File Explorer you have to turn on root access to inject the Google Play files.
- Press the menu button, he Settings/Root Settings and check "Root explorer" and "Up to root"
Now you can complete the file copy and permissions changes.

I live in mexico and root my kindle using the drivers i found here on this forum; my laptop has win7, on the other way the xp pc i have at home dont recognize my kindle, so my advice its to try on win7
The easy way to side load apps its to install the 1mobile app from the browser, its so full of apps that you be wondering why bother with the play store who marks most of the apps incompatible anyway.
Saludos!
Thank you Hector333, I do not have a pc with win 7 but I will try to ask a notebook from a friend.

Hello everyone,
I have just sort this problem by doing this:
In the Android SDK Manager click Tools >> Manage Add-on Sites.
Now click the User Defined Sites tab and then the “New” button. In here you need to enter the following URL and then press OK:
(Sorry I cannot post links cause I am new but you can ask it to me by private)
Once that is in close out of the Add-on Sites window.
(Thanks to Groovypost for that)
Now I have superuser installed but I do not know how to install google play... the instructions I have found says that I should download ES explorer from iAmazon... well I coud not do that cause I am outside US, so ¿any ideas?
Thank you all in advance.

Sup everyone..
Purchased a KF HD (10.2.1) a week ago and is looking to put Google Play Store on it.
I've been using RootQEmu for the actual root..
I downloaded the ADB drivers for the kindle..and although it says "the drivers are not installed correctly"..the details show that everything is okay..
and my kindle also shows as "Android Composite ADB" on my computer's device manager.
I ran the rootqemu.bat file and is getting stuck in step one.
*Daemon started successully* shows up and gets stuck there.
I already tried reinstalling the drivers about 20x and made sure my kindle has ADB debugging on.
please help!!!
Thanks everyone in advance.

what worked for me in the past was to go to... assuming you have windows 7
1.control panel and uninstalling the driver. then re install the driver again. (thats the driver given to you by rootqemu)
2.Also if that does not work go to connect the kindle fire hd to computer start>computer>right click on computer>device manager>portable devices> expand the tree> right click and uninstall driver> reconnect kfhd to computer and allow for driver to install>then install rootqemu driver>
3.make sure you have ADB on?
4. rootqemu worked for me after i did these steps.
I'm having the exact same problem here.
RooQemu hangs at *Daemon started successully* and nothing happens
when I try to enter "adb shell" in a cmd i get the error "device not found"
Kindle is shown correct in device manager as "Android Composite ADB Interface" and I can transfer files via explorer without problems.
Windos 7 64 bit and Kindle from amazon Germany Version 7.2.1_user_2040020
Tried on my Laptop and my PC, both with the same result.
At least someone seems to have the same problem as I do. Hope someone comes up with a solution. I tried the steps mentioned above, same result...

i think it might be something with the drivers since it keeps telling me that the install didn't work correctly..and i need to "manually install it".

Try this. Install the Android SDK in your computer reboot your kindle and the computer and try again. It worked for me
Darn..still not working...
This problem is due to the drivers!
You need to uninstall the drivers in the device manager, and manually install the drivers from the location you install the ADB drivers.
In my computer, the location is "C:\program files\amazon.com\kindle fire\drivers".
The wrong driver is like this: ”Android ADB Interface“
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"

And the correct driver is like this:

I already tried reinstalling the drivers about 20x and made sure my kindle has ADB debugging on.
please help!!!

Thanks everyone for the responses! I really appreciate it!
It's getting really weird..because even though the drivers said it was installed correctly..everything seemed to install fine.
My device manager do say "Android Composite ADB Interface"

Try to do what PMcHargue explained, it didn't work for me but who knows? Locate the adb_usb.ini file and insert the last line.
PMcHargue said:
"C:\Users\<your username>\.android\adb_usb.ini"
now hjas the line in it,
"# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x1949"
And that allowed ADB to see the KFHD7

Hey! I'm the one that had the same problem as you.
I tried everything... Then I installed Android SDK and followed this guide:
groovypost . com / howto / kindle-fire-hd-connect-adb-debug
Then it worked.
Hope that helps!

what worked for me in the past was to go to... assuming you have windows 7
1.control panel and uninstalling the driver. then re install the driver again. (thats the driver given to you by rootqemu)
2.Also if that does not work go to connect the kindle fire hd to computer start>computer>right click on computer>device manager>portable devices> expand the tree> right click and uninstall driver> reconnect kfhd to computer and allow for driver to install>then install rootqemu driver>
3.make sure you have ADB on?

I had the same problem but I did this bur turned my wifi off before step 2. The device appeared with a caution sign next to it in the device manager (no driver installed) but the adb commands started to work and I could root my kindle. Hope this works for you.

It didn't work for me with the drivers in this post, it worked using the Amazon drivers from Android SDK.

Sup everyone..
Purchased a KF HD (10.2.1) a week ago and is looking to put Google Play Store on it.
I've been using RootQEmu for the actual root..
I downloaded the ADB drivers for the kindle..and although it says "the drivers are not installed correctly"..the details show that everything is okay..
and my kindle also shows as "Android Composite ADB" on my computer's device manager.
I ran the rootqemu.bat file and is getting stuck in step one.

What worked for me was to download the android SDK into the root folder of the PC...OR C: If you like....I still found that after every step I had to unplug the device and re-plug it (Is that a word) to continue as the device wasnt found. Im now told ADB tools works better? Gotta have another go since Super user didnt get root access....Guess were on the same journey!
I have the "Android ADB Interface" and not the Composite one and its worked fine for me
thanks alot mate ...
i have windows 8 and faced same problem ...
i did what u said n the root method worked like charm..
thanks again

x64 problem?
I'm having the exact same issue, 'daemon started successfully' I think it has something to do with my OS being x64. I kpet the Task Manager open, and it seems like it opens up 2 adb.exe *32 at once. I tried closing one, and the program would continue. I'm using an Intel x64, and I noticed that the only drivers in the Amazon.com folder were *386, and AMD64. I'm not sure if AMD64. Not sure if this added info is relevant, since the original driver is prior to these directories. I hope an easier method evolves.
Update ... I tried downloading the android sdk, then copied the adb.exe over to the Root\stuff folder and it worked! once you copy the adb.exe, just follow the original OP's instructions.
Eu quero meu root
I just got the Kindle fire HD 7 for Christmas but I want to get an app thats only on the Google Play store which the Kindle wont allow us to use.So ive been trying as many tutorials as I can find on how to root the Kindle. The main tutorial ive been trying to follow is this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351201. But the drivers are not reading the kindle. Yes I have uninstalled the default kindle drivers(which windows keeps installing every time I plug in the usb). The only thing that shows up is a yellow question mark in the devices manager under Other Devices. And yes I also went into the security on my kindle and enabled ADB. Can someone please help out and figure why its not reading my kindle and why there is a yellow question mark on the device manager?
Also I have my Kindle updated to 11.3

Windows is not going to let you do this until you disable device driver signature enforcement. Do that and then try the tutorial again. One thing I would do is update manually by searching for the ADB drivers downloaded from that tutorial. Don't do the auto search,
Disable device driver signature enforcement -
Both must be done from the administrator profile to work right
Both of these are for Windows 7 X64 users.
Windows 7 X32 and earlier version users do not have this issue
A.
1. Reboot and on start up press F8 a couple times.
2. Scroll down to "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement."
Note: This must be done on every bootup you want to install something not MS signed.
B. For a more permanent solution.
1. First go and uninstall the driver (delete driver) you want to replace and then restart your computer.
2. Now go to the start menu and type cmd.
3. Right click on "cmd" and open a command prompt with elevated privileges (run as administrator.)
4. Now copy these in the command prompt one at a time hitting enter after each one.
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
4. Now install the driver you want.
5. Restart the computer.
6. Profit.
Note: If you do this right, you will see "Test Mode Windows 7 Build 7601" (or something comparable) in the lower right corner of your screen. This means that drivers not signed by MS can be installed without getting the Windows has installed the best driver already bit.
If you opt to take your computer out of test mode, the drivers will more than likely be replaced by MS drivers next time. Following steps 1,2 and 3 in part B of tutorial copy these commands in the command prompt one at a time hitting enter after each one.
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
bcdedit /set nointegritychecks ON
bcdedit /set nointegritychecks OFF
Possible Windows 8 cmd
bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
Since I don't have Windows 8 to do a personal tutorial, I'll just link to a good tutorial for that.
http://www.fotoclubinc.com/blog/how...on-of-windows-7-printer-drivers-on-windows-8/
I followed your example exactly and got windows into test mode. I forgot to mention I do have windows 7 *64.But the driver is still in other devices and only the default kindle driver seems to be working.Do you know where I can get the latest drivers?I tried searching but i dont know which ones are the latest version.
Try the ones in my signature, they should work.

It says windows cannot find driver software for your device.
Ok so I installed the updated drivers and got the yellow triangle gone. However the runme bat doesnt work.Its reading my kindle but it keeps saying the specified path does not exist and on a different updated runme bat it says adb not found.The runme bat that I downloaded from the tutorial I posted a link to even reboots my kindle and says its working but at the same time it says no specified path found when going through the prompt steps.And the superuser app doesnt appear on my kindle.
Heres a pic of my changed device manager.Can someone tell me if this is what its supposed to look like?(I tried using both Android composite and the plain ADB but it still didnt work)

that is exactly what it should look like. I just wrote a mini tutorial on the root thread. Someone had a question how to push the files manually. As of now it's the last post on that thread. Try manually pushing them. Also make sure adb is turned on via your tablet.
Im confused what do you mean by manually pushing them?Also ADB is on and it keeps saying cant find C:\windows\system\ric and cant find C:\dloads\GOOGLEKINDLE\RUN ric
C:\dloads\GOOGLEKINDLE\RUN is the folder in which the runme bat and root tool is.
My brother has an android phone so im just going to sideload the app that I wanted onto my kindle when I see him on New Years.Its just too much complicated work dealing with the drivers for a single app.
Hi,
I have the Amazon Fire 7" (not the Fire HD "7!). I did not find any Android ROM for this model, only for the Fire HD 7". Is it possible that such ROM does not exist?
If I'm mistaken, would appreciate if someone could refer me to the proper thread.

You need to identify the version of your Kindle. If its the otter2 try these threads over here:

another helpful discussion for you:

If it helps I can attach all the recovery/rom/and gapps that I'm using that seem to work well. I was using pac-rom but switched to slimkat a while ago. I only use this for a bedside alarm clock right now, but I'm thinking of putting it side mounted in my car into my stereo auxiliary running Kodi with the Car Skin they got going on in a thread. I'm not using the latest slimkat rom either I'm using an old version because it works well for me.
How do I identify the version of my Kindle? If it helps, it's the 5th generation that was sold during last December in Amazon for $35

You'd need to first install the Kindle drivers, as well as ADB and fastboot, on your PC. Then you would need to completely power off the kindle, type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product into a terminal or command prompt, and plug in the Kindle when you see <waiting for device>. Assuming you do this correctly, you should get an output like "jem-pvt-prod-04" in your terminal. The word before the first hyphen in the output (in this example, " jem", which is an example and NOT your particular model's codename) is your device's codename. You should take note of this codename and mention it whenever you're looking for ROMs or device assistance (rooting, flashing a custom recovery, etc.). Once you have the device codename, type fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot to get out of fastboot.

I realize this thread is a little old, but I too am trying to get something else on my Kindle Fire other than Fire OS if possible (LineageOS more than likely). Where might I find all of these drivers and utilities, as I have no idea what my Kindle's codename is.
Thanks!

The driver is available on Amazon's developer site, under the "Installing the USB Driver" section. This is assuming you're using Windows, of course.
The ADB binaries can also be downloaded directly from Google as a single .zip file. Once you have both of those downloaded, you should be able to extract the ADB package to an easily accessible directory, right-click on an empty space within the folder view of said directory while holding the shift key down, click "Open command prompt here", and then type the fastboot command I mentioned in the previous reply to identify your kindle.
(Apologies for the late reply!)
Thanks for the information. I got the driver installed and extracted the platform tools. I also enabled ADB from developer options on the Kindle. Problem is, when I run that command you previously mentioned I get this message:
Code:
< waiting for any device >
Nothing else happens, it just keeps waiting.

If you go into the device manager within windows and have the Kindle plugged in, does the Kindle show up in its own category? if it doesn't, try giving it a few minutes to install the driver for the device. Also, if you get a prompt on the Kindle asking if you want to "trust" the development computer, you'll want to accept that.

That's the right category. Theoretically, the device should be recognized in ADB if you already have it enabled on the Kindle. Try going to the device properties and "updating" the driver by selecting a different one from the list of Fire-specific drivers installed.
My apologies for the extreme lapse in response time - I went through finals earlier this month, and totally forgot about XDA for a while. Anyhow, I haven't worked with the Kindle on Windows in a while - drivers are notoriously finicky, so I tend to use Ubuntu and other Linux OSs for adb and whatnot, seeing as though everything seems to just work without the need for device-specific drivers on that platform.

Hey, no worries. I know how crazy life can get sometimes.
I tried using the different driver versions available without any luck. My laptop currently has a copy of Ubuntu installed, so I could definitely try it on there (with some guidance from you). I'm pretty familiar with how to use the terminal, and would've tried it under Linux had I known it might've been easier.
Thanks again for all of your assistance!

Nice! I don't know if you need to enable the universe software repo within Ubuntu before you can install the adb programs, but you should be able to type sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot to have them install. After that, you can use the fastboot commands exactly the way you would on Windows, and thus should be able to get the Kindle to boot into fastboot directly from a powered off state. Let me know if you need any other advice or help.

So, I'm still not having any luck. I'm not entirely sure why, I'm guessing maybe I'm missing something?
I've tried getting fastboot to work on three different devices now, two of which were running a Linux OS, the third Windows 7.
I'm running the mentioned fastboot command and then connecting the kindle over USB while it is powered off. ADB is enabled in developer settings.
I've tried running the command with or without the ADB daemon started and with or without the computer in question being authorized as I wasn't sure if that was necessary.
I tried it on my laptop (which is now running Kubuntu) without success but, also read somewhere that fastboot doesn't like USB 3.0. For that reason I tried it also on one of my Raspberry Pi 3s with a fresh install of Raspbian Lite. I didn't have anything else available at the moment running Linux.
I'm guessing I'm probably just missing something small or did one of the steps incorrectly maybe.

Does your Linux distro recognize the device if you have it plugged in while you're in the Kindle's main OS and you type adb devices? It should work if you have ADB enabled in developer settings.

Yep, if I type that a message pops up on screen saying it's unauthorized. The kindle then asks me if it should be authorized.
Try running fastboot as root.

After installing LineageOS on another device, I learned of a command that should force the Kindle to fastboot, and it seemed to work. When I ran the suggested fastboot command I got this output:
Code:
product: AUSTIN
finished. total time: 0.004s
Where might be my next step in finding a compatible ROM?
Many thanks again!
