Problems with ADB - Kindle Fire General

So I'm not a novice ADB user and have used it to root at least 5 or 6 phones. I'm attempting to root my kindle fire right now and running into problems. I built a new PC since the summer and never bothered to reinstall ADB. I just downloaded the Google SDK and from my memory that includes ADB and you can usually get it going from there. I read some tutorials on how to set it up but after following them perfectly I can't get it to even start the ADB server. Anytime I type any ADB commands in it says adb.exe not found or it not being a valid command.
Any quick advice?

Download Kindle Fire Utility...

It has a batch file that will install the necessary ADB drivers and you'll find the fastboot/adb executables in the tools directory.

That's what I thought was weird. I ran the drivers.bat, it says they're all installed and I still can't start the adb server or communicate with it. And the kindle shows up as it's supposed to when the adb drivers are installed under devices.
PS thanks for the quick response.

That's a new one to me. I think the adb server should be able to start even without the device attached. Maybe your original SDK install went wrong and it did something funny to your system? Sorry... I got nothing.

Don't want to sound too simple, but have you changed to the directory that adb.exe is installed in before trying to run it?

Yeah I changed the directory. I got it up and running kind of but now when I try the adb devices command it pops up as "connected devices" with nothing showing under it. The kindle fire utility also shows the adb server as not running always. Odd?

This happened to me its supposed to show up as Android composite adb interface its just a problem in that .android hidden file

[Q] How do I get ADB composite drivers?

I've read that in the Kindle Fire Unbricking Utility thread that it requires ADB composite drivers to work, and that you update the regular drivers using extras/google/usb-driver or using the drivers from the Kindle Fire Utility, but it says that my drivers are already up to date. I used to have the composite drivers listed under the KF but I deleted them (stupid) can I do anything to get them back? I used this outdated guide before because I didn't know better and then started using this guide because I couldn't get cmd to recognize adb.

Tried the code 10 thing and now it says ADB composite drivers, but KF Unbrick utility still gives me "error: device not found"
Why isn't ADB working?!
Oh thank the maker. Make sure to add the Path variables, kids...
I now have some unofficial "Battery too low 10%! Please wait while Kindle is charging" text so I it just now received the KFU root command or sumpin'. I'm in the clear!

ADB Connection to The Fire HD

This is useful to anybody trying to get ADB going. I can confirm it works.
https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html
No OTG support as far as I can tell. Or at least, it doesn't power the bus. It did lock when I added a powered hub. That might mean it works, but doesn't supply power.
I'm not getting ADB to recognize the KFHD.
Yes, I have debugging turned on.
Yes, in Device Manager, I see the Kindle Fire as a Composite ADB Interface
Yes, my AndroidSDK is up to date
Yes, I installed the Amazon drivers
Yes, I killed and restarted the adb server
I cannot figure out why it's not talking. It looks as if it should be working. Any ideas?
I had to go to:
C:\Users\myusername\.android and edit the adb_usb.ini and add the following line:
0x1949
Then I killed and restarted adb and it saw it and I was able to install some apks.
Hope this helps!

I picked up the downloads for the Qmenuroot. Installed the ADB drivers referred to in the OP. In my Win7 system's devices manager, I see the ADB driver for the Kindle Fire HD listed as working correctly. Also, the USB driver is in & working, and I can transfer files to/from the kindle. (though I had to re-install the USB driver after I installed the ADB driver)
The problem now is that when I type "ADB devices", it tells me that there are no devices available. Unplug/plug in the USB connection, wait for a bit, "ADB kill-server", "ADB devices" and still no devices available. I have a CMD prompt open in the correct directory. Tried rebooting the kindle, unplug/plug in the USB connector, all kinds of combinations.
I'd like to root this, in anticipation of a JB build for it, (or even ICS) but without ADB, I don't see how.
Has anyone had an issue like this that they have solved? I haven't mastered ADB in any sense, though I've used it to good effect before to un-brick my TF101.
TIA;
Patrick

Well, I added the magic line you suggested, and this now works for me. I'm surprised that running "C:\android-sdk\tools\android.bat update adb" (the corrct directory for me) didn't fix this.
Ah well - so many things to learn. Thanks for your guidance.

Hi,
I just had the same problem, added the line in the ini file, checked everything. One thing that was a little off was that the driver name was "Android ADB Interface" not "Android Composite ADB Interface". I left the Kindle HD plugged into the computer by mistake when I deleted the driver, and the driver reinstalled itself in about 30 seconds (plug and play). It installed as the "Android Composite ADB Interface". After that it was easy going to root it and get to my google play account.
I hope that helps someone!

This worked for me, thank you. ADB can now 'see' my KFHD 7, and I was able to revert a file from backup to get it to boot again.

USB hubs cause problems, just sayin'.
I went round and round with this until I decided to plug directly into the PC and avoid the hub. Worked perfectly.
---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------
If you have tried everything and still no workie, make sure you aren't using a USB hub. ADB wasn't listing it as a device but yet I was able to see it in Device Manager and even transfer files to/from it. Once I eliminated the USB hub, all was well. ADB now sees it.

Follow the link that the OP gives(i'll also post it)
Follow the instructions in BOTH the links below. The second link are instructions to get kindle fire add-ons(including usb drivers) for SDK.

I had the same problem, with adb, not finding my Kindle Fire. I downloaded the current Android SDK und used that ADB without changing anything. Works fine for me I also just copied the adb.exe in the same directory as rootqemu.bat and replaced the old one ( old ~159kb new ~796kb ).
Very helpful
Hello All,
I could use some assistance. I have ADB installed properly and the drivers for the Kindle Fire HD from this thread installed also. My issue is the Kindle Fire HD driver states:
Android Composite ADB Interface
The device cannot start (Code 10).
I am using the driver from 12/3/2012 version 1.2.0.0 and I get this error code if I have the Fire directly connected to the usb port on the pc or through the usb hub. Same issue over and over. Even if I attempt to use other Kindle Fire HD drivers.
Also, I have made the change in the adb_usb.ini file.

Hi, I have no issue connecting to my Kindle Fire using ADB under Ubuntu using a USB cable, no drivers were needed.
However I'm trying to get ADB over WIFI to work, but I get "unable to connect to 192.168.1.234:5555"
Has anyone managed to do ADB over WIfi or is it not implemented on the Kindle Rom? Thanks

plug the phone, open a terminal as administrator/root and type
adb stop-server
adb start-server
adb devices
the last command must return your device name-id
If not there is smth wrong with your installation
The device didn't show up do you know what I could have done wrong? Do I have to turn on mass storage? Could it have something to do with my drivers, can't remember installing any... And in the device manager I see four android with a orange triangle with am exclamation mark inside.

No you don't need to enable mass storage, but you need to enable USB debugging from dev settings from the device. Use these drivers

[Q] update Nexus 4 Driver for 4.2.2? adb device offline?

android 4.2.1 worked fine until i updated to android 4.2.2 which was causing so much trouble to me
the pc will detect the phone as offline device seems like the pc unable to recognize the device, but usb tethering still worked fine
after some reading this is due to the adb thingy i suppose? since the 4.2.2 updates the adb for new security purposes but the at the computer side, the adb is not updated
seeing articles http://www.androidpolice.com/tags/android-4-2-2-adb-device-offline/ my phone wont detect the rsa on mypc...
i used mskip's toolkit to reinstall the usb drivers but i suppose it is still the old one(maybe still compatible with 4.2.1 but not 4.2.2)
guys please help, if there is some method i can manually update my adb to the newest version which can support my nexus 4
i also updated my Android SDK, all the files included under android 4.2 but still, the computer wont detect it...

Hi if you're using the Android sdk and it's all configured properly then make sure that tools and platform tools are up to date. rev 21.1. It's in a separate category in the sdk manager to the base sdk.

Try opening the "platform-tools" folder and press SHIFT+right click and open the command prompt with device connected.
Type in "adb devices" and a prompt should show up on your device for allowing usb debugging between your pc and you device.
If you already did this then you can trying removing Nexus 4 drivers from pc, and reinstalling them.

Also, if you want to unlock and root your device on 4.2.2, use the guide on this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147413. Just make sure you use the .img file specific for your device. Hope this helps.

thanks bryant, your first post helped
seems like we need to use the command prompt to let the pc know our device code?
just felt strange why google implement 4.2.2 update and not telling users to update their adb on their pc as well..

Anyone get ADB working?

Anyone get ADB working? I'm getting a no permissions (udev rules) on my linux machine. I'm guessing we need to add the device into udev
EDIT: Solution for Ubuntu/Linux here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73619079&postcount=20
hmm it works on my Mac though..
did you use Sudo?

Yeah, it's not working.. I tried adding the dev in my android.rules file and still nothing. I'm going to play with it more now

Do you need to update your ADB version on your Linux box? I had this issue at one point. With a different phone a couple years ago. Wouldn't recognize the device.

I'm always on the latest version since I do a lot of Android development. I don't get why it's not working.. I've had to add devices in udev so many times, never did it give me an issue before. I'll see if I can figure it out though

ADB Debugging is on in Dev Options right? lol
I know its super basic, but got to check anyway.
whatever you figure out, please let us know! Good luck, and congrats on getting your device!

any idea whats causing adb to not work?

I found a work-a-round to transfer your files from one phone to the Essential.
create a folder on your desktop and copy and paste all files you want transferred to the PH1. Once you have completed that just copy and paste those files from that folder to the phone.

wow, an extremely obvious solution to a problem no one asked about and has nothing to do with this thread!!
I've got ADB to connect somewhat. Instead of cd\sdk\platform-tools just run cd\sdk. ADB devices shows my phone, but once I ADB reboot bootloader, it will boot into the bootloader, but that's it.
I can't get it to work at all windows 10

I'm on Windows 10 as well. ADB works as long as the phone is booted into the OS. Once I enter the bootloader ADB nor fastboot can see the device

What is your usb setting? Charging, file transfer?

I got ADB working on linux. You need to add this to your 51-android.rules
#Essential
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTR{idVendor}=="2e17", ATTR{idProduct}=="c032", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
I still can't get fastboot to work yet though. To get it to work I need to run: sudo $(which fastboot) devices
I'm going to play around with it more to see if I can get it to work just using fastboot devices
ADB is working on Windows 10, but as mentioned above, fastboot isn't recognized. Can't unlock the effing bootloader without that dammit.

Okay so to get it my PC to recognize the device in fastboot, I had to open Computer Management < Device Manager and find the device listed as Mata while booted into the bootloader. Windows didn't know what driver to use so I manually selected the Android Bootloader driver. You have to list all installed drivers on your machine and it should show up for windows 10 users. Device is now unlocked

Same here, just manually installed Google USB Driver and installed it as "Fastboot Interface" and it worked.
Ok I got adb and fastboot both working on Ubuntu/Linux now. Instead of adding the line I posted in my previous post just run this:
sudo sh -c "echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2e17", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules"
Then
sudo service udev restart
Then ubplug your device if it's plugged in via USB and then plug it back in. adb works as well as fastboot
