Hello,
I need ADB access to my Fire HDX and it seems like the old driver doesn't work any more with Fire OS 4. Is there a new driver or is it maybe possible to downgrade? I'm really getting tired of this locked-down OS and hope someone of you can help me back up my apps.
Regards,
Random
This should still work:

Nope, doesn't work for me
Sure, I can install the driver, but ADB doesn't recognize the device. Of course I have ADB debugging enabled.

Hi,
I have a Vodafone 845, and I couldn't get connection with adb.
I'm using windows 7 32b. My device is recognized as android adaptar usb device (cdrom driver), I tried to update the driver to android_usb_driver.
Any suggestions?
I ran into the same issue, could not uninstall Microsofts driver.
Use adbWireless (some old version (works fine) is attached).
I have the same problem,
your wifi adb apk needs a rooted phone.. but the reason I need the SDK connected ADB to the phone is because I can't find a root solution for this phone, and want to take screenshots via the Android ADK, but it wont' connect.
ADB connection
I'm new here but i did find a way to fix that problem. Im using Windows 7 32 bit.
I just installed the PC suite that comes with the VF845 (when u plug in the phone through the USB cable) and ADB ends up working.
Pretty sure this also works on XP....
Hope this helps

Hi prannk, perhaps this could help you:

Edited: You could also try with USB 3.0 on your PC's backside (rear panel).
Cheers. Good luck.

hey friend you could install universal adb drivers and then check it should work..
Here are the two links go check them out...
Universal Windows ADB Driver by Koush
Universal Adb Driver
Hello, my friend I'm sorry, but right now there is probably no way, how to make fastboot work on Windows 8.1. Trust me, I've tried to find a solution for many days, but at the end, I had to use borrowed netbook with Windows 7 installed on it. The problem is, that 8.1 always connects fastboot devices as "Unknown USB's". For those you simply can't install these drivers, even if you try using Safe mode, or if you start system with allowance of unsigned drivers. Basicly what's happening is, that windows thinks, you want to reinstall USB driver, not fastboot driver.
I was thinking about the possibility of using older virtualized system or Linux on which it should work (though you won't find many guides). Keep on trying and don't give up You'll manage to unlock it eventually. The question remains, on which system it would be.
I received a new Kindle Fire for Christmas(2015) and it is wonderful. However, I want to be able to test the apps I'm building on it. So far it has been a nightmare to root the device. I even tried RootKing, which didn't work at all. The main issue is finding XP drivers for the usb. I plug it in and I have some access to various directories, but not enough to get fastboot on there to finish the root process. Yes I did turn on debugging. Have tried four different programs, but nothing has worked. Currently running 5.1.1 on the Kindle. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Tried:
root_fire.zip
Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip
AmazonFire5thGenSuperTool.zip
GadgetClass_Simple_Super_Tool-Fire-5th-Gen
And When I try to install drivers from other sources, it keeps telling me it can't find what it needs to install.
Thanks!

I managed to cobble together the drivers I needed. Apparently XP needs
Universal ADB drivers AND MTA drivers in order to work. Once those are installed, it works wonderfully! Any way I can upload the file for others? Or do I need to place it on a server and link?
Hey guys I tried rooting and installing twrp on a kindle fire first generation. In the command prompt it got stuck at waiting on device and then I was just screwed. Looked for hours how to get past it, nothing, now I'm trying to use unbrick tools and the device won't be recognized , windows doesn't recognize it, so I can't uninstall and reinstall the drivers like I did in the early processes of rooting. The Android SDK manager has a confusing interface that I'm trying to figure out how to use that to get the drivers to work, and I can't figure that out either. I did this in the first place to have a better device to give to my girlfriend as a surprise, and Now I'm incredibly sad and frustrated, any help would be great.
Ok, I need to load an OS back to the device ( wiped data/system because girlfriend enabled encryption.....) anyway I've tried the same computer I rooted the thing 2 years ago, installed new drivers and also am in test mode, however
the hdx (when booted into TWRP) never shows up in device manager, and "adb devices" is always empty. I've tried several USB cables, and even a mac computer, anyone lose access to their device and got it back? Any hints?

First verify drivers are working. For whatever reason legacy composite drivers from Motorola seem to work best with this device regardless of platform or host OS. Install the Motorola Device Manager from this page and then switch drivers. No need to launch the utility.
TWRP must be at v2.7 or above for ADB support. If below 2.8.6.0 you should consider updating via fastboot assuming bootloader has been unlocked. See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-t3322547
If still no joy you will have to erase/replace aboot and rebuild the device from scratch. Data loss is likely.
hmm yeah, the main problem seems to be the tablet never shows up in device manager as any device... thanks for the hints though, will try the motorola device manager drivers...

Where'd you get the drivers from? Can you share a link to the ones you installed on your PC? In control panel devices have you tried enabling show hidden devices to see if the tablet is detected but not enabled? What version of Windows?
I haven't tried this yet personally yet but I'm wondering if a live Linux (e.g. Mint) booted on USB thumb drive might be an option. I don't know enough about using a Mac to access the Kindle to offer much in detail there. Have you tried different USB ports on each of these computers? Do other USB devices show up okay?

Read here literally two posts above yours. Where was Linux/Mac ever mentioned? Connectivity on Windows almost always boils down to procedures, drivers and/or USB cable integrity. Assuming the device itself is not toast.

Oh snap, this is a good idea - will try when I get home.
TWRP 3.1.1-1, Win 10 64bit - yeah tested several usb ports on my computer - I originally rooted the HDX with this computer and windows 10 install about 2 years ago [side note do you guys remember reformatting every 6 months because windows was such a pos, I'm really glad those days are long gone!]
LOL yep Windows 10 nowadays does seem a lot more stable than the earlier stuff.

Hi Davey oops somehow I missed that you had already replied a few days ago . cq_ did mention a Mac computer. I suggested testing with a live Linux thumb drive boot in case they have an extra thumb drive kicking around to find out what that OS sees as compared to the Windows and Mac already tried. When reviving my Thor, part of the process I tried was draxie's 1-click, which required Linux and access to the device to do its work, so it seemed like a good to me to try to boot the PC that cq_ is using into Linux. In my case I have Linux Mint installed on a separate SATA hard drive but not everybody has that type of rig, hence the live Linux USB thumb drive boot suggestion.

Fair enough; I may have been a bit harsh in my response. I now see the passing reference to an Apple rig and appreciate the unfiltered perspective often obtained via Linux. That said, there is new info on the table that suggests the OP has access to a Win10x64 box which should connect effortlessly/reliably with Moto drivers and a quality USB cable. Mucking with drivers can be a PiTA on Windows; the Moto variants remove much of the pain - although you still have to select the proper driver after tethering in the target mode (adb or fastboot) as Windows will typically default to Microsoft/stock variants which rarely work with HDX devices.
