[Q] fastboot drivers

[Resolver1]

I'm a need of help here. I've been searching around the web and here to find the answer that for some reason I can't find. When I connect Kindle Fire 2 using a fastboot cable the device that comes up in Device Manager is otter2-prod-04. I've tried to install drivers manually using "Have a Disk" method but adb would not communicate with device (adb devices doesn't return a value). I don't know if the android_winusb.inf has to be edited (it only seems to be the case with first gen kindle) but I haven't found any guides that tell you to do it for Kindle Fire 2. Any help or proper direction is appreciated.

Have you ran a fastboot cmd? ADB and fastboot are totally separate from one another. Try running: fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product
That will give you the product id while in fastboot.

Hmm that did help. I should make a noob friendly guide because all of these guides are so vague when it comes to fastboot.

fast boot commands not functioning, adb works fine

when i issue this command all it does is sit with < waiting for device >
adb works fine, but not fastboot. fastboot devices returns nothing.

I have a factory cable that does boot it it fastboot screen.

Then you have a driver issue. Get the device into fastboot and with it plugged in go to your device manager and right click the device that shows up(it will probably have a yellow triangle next to it. Then select update driver, then choose "browse my computer for device software", lastly choose "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer". Since you have adb working then you should have one that says "adb composite interface" or something like that. Once you install the driver you should be ok.

Found those steps. but that driver was already installed and said it was functioning. I risked it and attempted the root and install of jellybean without the fastboot command showing devices. apparently it works. my Kindle fire 2 is running cyanogen mod without issue now.

thanks for the response.
