used factory cable now what?

[bandit250]

hi got my usb factory cable my kindle now boots into fastboot ie: the traffic lights but still not being picked up by adb any advice?

 

[bandit250]

also using fastboot command just say waiting for device... checked device manager doesnt show up? is this a hardware issue?

It should appear as a device called otter2 if its a kf2, if that ever appeared in the device manager then the drivers in my signature are meant for it, just right click the device and hit update drivers in the device manager, and point it to where you would have extracted mine. Also fastboot needs some special parameters on kindles, you have to run a command so it looks something like this:

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

the "getvar product" part is just the command it would be sending but the other part is what's important. Try running that command and seeing what happens.

Hi think this is the issue windows doesn't even make a noise and shows nothing up in device manager it. Windows isn't detecting anything being plugged in.

Sorry I run the command just says waiting for device

Did you switch cables after entering fastboot?

Hi just an update on what happens

On normal power up kindle fire logo appears then screen goes black no power light either

On fastboot cable get fastboot screen with green flashing traffic light.

On both cables USB on the PC is not pick ed up its not a driver issue windows just does dectect anything plugged in.

Interesting, wonder if the USB plug went bad on the kindle, could always probe your USB on a Ubuntu live CD to double check but idk if you wanna put that much effort into it.

I already have Ubuntu installed what is the command for that

 

[bandit250]

did anyone find the commands?

 

[bandit250]

ok i opened it up today and looked at the usb looks fine no damaged pin's?

 

[stunts513]

One command u can try is lsusb, it lists USB devices plugged in, should list it as a lab device, Don,t remember the specifics, also u can also run dmesg and see if the device showed up as plugged in in the log.
