[Q] Bought a "rooted" kindle fire. seems like its missing part of the root?

Hey everyone, I have a couple questions about rooting a Kindle fire.
I bought one for my wife off of Craigslist for $100. Great shape. works great. Internet browser works great.
It has several applications installed on it related to GO? Like GO launcher EX and GO store, GO weather themes, etc. I thought I could use the GO store to download apps but everytime I would try to search and download I would get no search results not matter what I typed in the search bar.
The guy I bought it from said I could use Android market on it to download apps but I couldnt find the market anywhere on the tablet.
I assumed it needed installed so I downloaded Root Explorer and was following directions to install android market from a Youtube tutorial. Everything was working great until I needed to "move" an exported file to another file location.
The kindle was not giving me the option to move the file and the tutorial said if I didnt have that option I was not rooted.
So can I "reroot" it and then install android market?
Any advice you can give would be great, sorry if this was covered in another thread.
thanks again! :good:

wow thanks for all the info! really helps! Ill try that asap
And no I do not have a kindle fire. I just bought it for her because she wants to be able to read 50 Shades of Grey whenever she wants....lol

by "the first book" do you mean the bible? that's free on most outlets such as the kindle app which is available from the google play store. nobody here is going to direct you to a link to pirate things though... if you must find illegal copies of books I would try searching for digital copies of the book in question on google

Kindle 2gen died Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my Kindle 2gen died.
Got a superuser rights,
Remove system programs such as Amazon MP3, Amazon video, and accidentally delete the native launcher. Made him a hard reset ... Kindle stucks on logo KINDLE FIRE and nothing happens. What to do?:crying:

Can you exapnd on what happens? Hold your power button for 15 seconds, turn it on, and explain to me in great detail what happens.
Edit: It seems you're stuck in a bootloop. Can your computer detect it via adb?

I'm holding power button for 15 sec., turn it on, appears Kindle Fire logo, the logo flashes and that's it.
yes the computer can detect via adb.

Josepho1997 said:
Sorry for the late reply. Here's what you have to do(and I'm not entirely sure it will work)
First, give me a complete list of every app you deleted. Also what version you were running(your os).
I will upload the apps for you. Download them. You will then have to use adb to push them back into /system.

I deleted amazon video, amazon mp3, imdb and native launcher. Use lastest version 10.2.1
mb your idea may safe my fire)) let's try.

Probably the worst thing in that mix is the native launcher.

Sorry to ask here but I can't post on development forums and there isn't a Q&A for the Fire 2.
I screwed up, I flashed AOKP JellyBean to my brother's Fire and it is so awesome that I bought a Fire 2 with the black friday deal and now I found out that it can't be flashed, the main problem is that I'm not from the US so I can't download anything from the Amazon store app because you need an US credit card.
So the question, is there anyway to install apks within the tablet? Like sending them with ADB and then installing them? does it have a file manager? or maybe downloading them straight from the Fire's browser?
I need to know this because if I open the box (it hasn't arrived yet) and I can't install anything, I would have to sell it cheaper because it's used.

I think there are ways to use the app store in different country's. If not, android supports side-loading apps.

Using a Kindle Fire outside the US
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 mmyy 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 either get a real US credit card or load your Amazon account with a gift card. Any purchases should then use the gift card balance instead of trying to charge the non-working US credit card.
If you don’t want to use this workaround then GetJar is a good alternative to the Amazon Appstore and can be installed on the Fire without rooting.

search for mouse toggle for fire tv on google play. its not free but it works fine.
If your not prepared to buy the app follow my guide to downgrade your Fire stick to 5.0.5 if your Wukong remote works with that os version.

Mouse toggle works on OS 5? I bought it awhile ago but stopped working when i updated to 5. Really find it essential for file explorer and occasionally xfinity tv app. Dont use it often but hate connecting a mouse just for a simple click now & then.

Yes, The app is compatible with the latest Fire TV OS but it needs to be updated. Here is a link with the directions to update the Mouse Toggle app:

If you have any issues please send a email to the address in the app.
Thank you

Yes there is one....
It is there...
An app called "remote for fire TV" by guidology.
It is available on Amazon app store.
But it is a paid app. But way cheaper than purchasing any wireless or airmouse.
I have a favor to ask.
The client app (the one which installs on your phone) isn't available anywhere online for poor people like me to try before buying.
If anyone has bought this app after reading my post.
Please consider posting the phone app's link in a reply to my post.
Thank you.

Do your own dirty work. You download Aptoide!:good:

Give this a try. It has an option to use a mouse with your smart phone to control Amazon Fire TV. I like it better than the mouse toggle app.

Firestick 2 Won't run without google play services which are not supported by device

I sideloaded a television providers app (Fios Mobile) installed on my device. The app was working perfectly but it just updated and I keep getting the error "Won't run without google play services which are not supported by your device".
I tried reverting back to the previous version but it was a mandatory update, so no dice. I tried sideloading the Google Play store but that did not help.
Is there a workaround for this type of error? The app does not API call any of Google Play Services. It seems like many of the TV apps are dropping support (they encouraged it a few years ago to lower bills) so you buy another Set top box. Other cable apps know you are inserting a device into a HDMI port and disable it from working that way.
I can download each individual TV app and enter my television providers password or mirror from my Android Phone but that would be a huge inconvenience.
Any suggestions? If there an app that will fool my TV app into thinking the play store is installed?
Since every channel pretty much has it's own app now, is there another app that will take its place instead of downloading each channels separate app and entering the password?

Is your firestick rooted? (Sorry, I don't know if they can even be rooted.) If so, there's an Xposed module to allow apps to work without Google Play Services.
Another idea is to get the Fios Mobile app from the Amazon App Store and side load that one onto your Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com/Verizon-Services-Corp-FiOS-Mobile/dp/B00DGVUD9I/
That one may not have any dependencies on Google apps.

Seriously, you are giving me outdated information???? "Fios Mobile won't run unless you update Google Play Services". It would be nice to know where to find updated compatible versions for each. I have looked at several app stores and none seem to work. So please cut that attitude as your five-second search advice did not get me any further than I was before.

I tried two different app stores but not that Amazon one. Crossing fingers!!!! DARN. Just tried it and said incompatible, you can't make purchases from this device. Fios does support Kindle fire but as I suspect, they don't want the app as a box substitute like they used too.
Maybe, someone has an updated version of what Timmy P linked too. Hopefully, they will test the link first before making condescending remarks about checking older posts.

Because when I read that site from the original author it said FTV and FTV stick not 2 dumbass. Then I read the re-post on here claiming FTV 2 from MARCH 2017!! DId you not see where I said everything was working perfectly since September 4th!!!! Technology changes fast little tike. Google also updates and apps do along with it buttercup.
But I assumed someone with such a smug post must be correct but what a surprise you were not cupcake.
Since there is only 1 person who found a fix on the entire internet, it must not be a very easy fix. If it were, he could put it on APK sites for constant updates.
That is why I also asked 1: If there is a workaround. Easy/permanent if possible, so I don't need to worry about this update. Even easier if there is a 3rd party app that would consolidate all the apps and enter my default password for me.
P.S Being smug even when your correct is being an ass, doing so when you are incorrect makes you a stinky diarrhea with **** nuggets still stuck kind of ass.

Two things:
1) You need to install the Amazon Appstore app on your device
2) Purchase the app (yes I know it is free) through the desktop Amazon website. This will then tell Amazon's servers that you own the ability to use the app.
The Amazon Fire TV apps use license verification with the AppStore servers to verify that you have rights to use the app.

Hi,
The reason i asked for apk is because i cant download it directly from amazon appstore due to the geo restriction. Even with vpn it still failed hence i wanted to sideload with the extracted apk. Im sorry i kinda noob an new about this but all other sideloaded apk works fine except this.

I get that you are in a geo-restricted area. Unfortunately, Amazon makes it a bit more difficult to get Fire TV apps working correctly outside of Fire devices as is... and being geo-restricted doesn't help. :-/
I own a shield, which is why I responded in this thread, and I had been looking for an updated USA Network app myself.
There are technically ways to remove license verification, but I believe that type of discussion is frowned upon on XDA due to piracy concerns.
That said, I tried the apk myself as I own the app in my Amazon account. It doesn't go past the animated splash screen. There is probably more that needs to be fixed for it to work correctly.
