As far as rooting, the qemu automated root in the developer section for the hd version will work for this system version. If you happen to update at some point to newer version a different root method is needed., but for now that will work.

Sounds like it is a driver issue.
Try this driver installing this driver, make sure the device is unplugged when you install, then reboot your computer:
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B4lZEJI5lYeMdnFHeVRMQUtRYWc/edit
It should show up in device manager as composite android adb interface

If that does not work follow the directions in this link to install sdk with kindle add-ons:
https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html

As for the apps from amazon, you'll just have to install play store and forget about amazon apps.
Hope this helps

MTP sounds like the storage. Maybe the SD card is corrupt. I wish in could offer more help. Did you try a factory reset?

There is a way to get apps from the amazon store without a US credit card

In order to download anything from the Amazon Appstore (even the free apps) you need to enable 1-Click settings on your Amazon account and set a US credit card and billing address. Provided you only want to download free apps you can use any valid US address and a test credit card number.

Expiration Date has to be a valid date in the future (use the mm/yy format). Also make sure to use a US address (just Google for one, but make sure you don’t ship any purchases to this address)

American Express
371449635398431

American Express Corporate
378734493671000

Discover
6011111111111117

JCB
3530111333300000

MasterCard
5555555555554444

Visa
4111111111111111

If you want paid apps you can load your Amazon account with a gift card that you can purchase in Amazon with an international credit card. Any purchases should then use the gift card balance instead of trying to charge the non-working US credit card.

the kindle fire does not at this time support usb otg so no 3g dongle. If you have it rooted, I suggest spoofing the build.prop with root explorer so that it looks like a nexus 7 or galaxy nexus. search around the kindle fire 1 forums on how to do that part. it will allow you to download more apps from google play if you installed gapps on your newly rooted kf2.
