USB Transfer Cable for KF

---

Can anyone give me a recommendation for a Data Transfer cable for the kindle fire? I've seen the threads regarding the factory cable, and have noted that as a possibility, but I was wondering if anyone could refer me to a decent cable that will work strictly for data transfer.

I did purchase this cable from newegg, as it was listed as a charge/data transfer cable specifically for Kindle Fire, however, it only provides charging. It does not provide data transfer for KF, windows doesn't even see the device. Interestingly enough, I hooked up my HTC Evo Design 4g to this cable, and data transfer worked immediately. Just doesn't work for the Kindle for whatever reason. Up till now, I've been using my data cable from the HTC Evo and it works with the Kindle, but I think it's causing issues when I set the KF to fastboot for rooting. Not sure if it's due to the cable or not, that's why I want to try a different cable.

Cable I use

I got this cable to charge my phone and data but works fine with my kindle as well.

I just use the USB cable that came with my old LG dumbphone. It works for data and charging.

I use the USB cable that came with my Kindle 3 (now called the kindle keyboard). It works great! I suppose it was designed to work with any micro USB product, but was optimized for the kindle family

@Cryplock and tobiasunruh: Do the cables you linked to work for rooting? My problem was that I have a cable from my HTC phone, but I can't get past the initial reboot to fastboot. Not sure if it's the cable or the drivers. I've heard the drivers can be a pain to get to work in fastboot.

I'm using usb cable that came with my SG2 and it works well.

i'm loading with the cable from the Samsung gallaxy SII.
works great.

EDIT:

You are playing Russian roulette if you are using any other cable besides a BB or one of equal quality.

Sorry bro but I'm not sure cause I was already rooted when I bought them...
