title: ADB cannot detect my Kindle Fire on Windows 7, but Device Manager can
body: <p>So I've thrown the book at this problem and think I've isolated the cause.</p>
  
  <p>I've downloaded and installed JDK 32 and 64 bit.
  I've installed the Android SDK as needed.
  I've modified android_winusb.inf inside of the google-usb-driver to include the Kindle Fire device IDs.
  I tried downloading the kindle fire windows 7 driver from amazon (as described in the answer <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8189488/debugging-android-apps-on-the-kindle-fire">here</a>), and using that.</p>
  
  <p>I tried modifying that driver to include the fire device ID in the x86 section.</p>
  
  <p>I've killed and restarted adb diligently, and restarted my comp several times to see if that would magically fix it. nothing.</p>
  
  <p>The only thing I'm unsure about is the modification of adb_usb.ini. Unfortunately, my .android folder doesn't exist in my %USERPROFILE%, but instead exists in another location on my computer. That folder doesn't have adb_usb.ini either. So I copied the contents of .android to my %USERPROFILE%, and created adb_usb.ini in each, and added 0x1949 to that empty file.      </p>
  
  <p>This did not work. adb devices still turns up zilch.</p>
  
  <p>I think adb is having trouble finding my adb_usb.ini, but really, I have no idea. And if that is the case, I don't know how to fix that. Help?</p>
