If you had any other version of Kindle Fire, you wouldn't be reading this post because you would have already found one that worked for you on XDA developers site. If you're at a point where you are getting the following errors, you've come to the right place. This instruction assumes you've already followed these instructions:
- Downloaded all the necessary files on Installing Cyanogenmod on Kindle 8.9
- Downloaded Google App package here
- You've downloaded Android SDK and followed the instruction in enabling ADB driver for your Kindle device here
- You've successfully followed Installing Cyanogenmod instruction up to,
Installing CyanogenMod from Recovery
Now you're getting the following errors:
- When issuing "adb devices" command you get nothing, hence you can't push files onto your device.
- Your Kindle device in your Device Manager still shows up with a question make (despite what the Amazon developer told you in his instruction).
- You try to mound from TRWP, but you get some funky error in your console. This just means that it couldn't mount it for R/W access like a flash drive for easy drag and drop access.
Take the following steps to fix your issue.
- Enable ADB driver for your Kindle device
- Right Click on your Unknown Kindle device from Device Manager
- Click Update Driver Software...
- Browse for driver and Click "Let me pick from a list of devices on my computer"
- Select Android Composite ADB Interface (latest version)
- Now your ADB connection should work and you should have a new Device icon minus the question mark
- Go back to your terminal, and type, "adb devices"
- Now you should see a device in a recovery mode (if you left it in TWRP)
- Transfer files as instructed by the Installing Cyanogenmod provided above.
- Enjoy.
