I have tried everything from factory reset to reinstalling xbmc for ouya 12.3.2 or spmc version but I can't get the super repo to work again. I should of never tried to install SPMC by uninstalling the ouya version which was working fine but I wanted to give it a try bcuz it was newer version. How do I delete the file addons15.db on fire tv to get the super repo to work, is that possible with no root? Help !

Disclaimer.... I don't own FTV and only have a basic knowledge of xbmc.
1. You will need to download or copy the zip into FTV.
2. Go to settings-file system-add source( on phone this requires long click to bring up menu, with keyboard and mouse try hovering over it and pressing "c" on keyboard)-browse.
3. Select an option such as root files to beginb looking for zip, once you find and select it the add one should show.
Side note... Other sources install similarly except you enter an http address into box rather than selecting browse.

I don't think that's possible with Fire tv as its not rooted to install channels from zip files like that bcuz there is no way to use fire tv with usb drive with zip files loaded to manually install channels.

I side load them using ADB, I don't think I can download anything using even a browser "unknown source install/download" not allowed as far as I know on Fire TV not until its rooted then we have full control. But I will give it try using fireox browser.

Can files be pushed to it via adb? Anyways check for a message in a bit I will send PM.

Correct way- system-add ons-install from zip file.

Just install it like you did Fusion. Go to Settings > File Manager > add source, and them enter http://srp.nu/ for the address of the SuperRepo and on the second menu "Name for this Media"whatever name you want to give to the source e.g. SuperRepo.
You can put this url in your browser to verify that the 3 repo folders are not empty.
Thanks u very much it works now !

Hi Guys,
Firstly, thanks so much for the info on this community. I've followed loads of the threads and almost all of what I need to know is here.
I have a KF2 @ v10.3.1. I've rooted it and applied the 2nd bootloader using a homemade lead (thanks to the thread on that!). I started in Windows but switched to Kubuntu after getting driver issues etc.. To compound the problem, the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, which didn't help as I couldn't load apps whist it was stock. (It's not stolen or otherwise illegally obtained. Amazon sent it in error, and despite me contacting them to ask how to return it, they've never replied)
Anyhow, After following THIS thread, which appeared to go OK, after rebooting I'm unable to boot into Recovery. The blue screen just stays there. I can still boot normally, but I would like to load CM10 which is loaded as per the thread, along with gapps, both in zip format. I have read many threads about being stuck on the blue screen, but these are always locked and need to be restored, but I have no problem booting normally and the KF2 is not locked. I've searched this site and googled plenty.
I don't expect an exact answer, but if someone could just point me at what to look at, I'm sure I can find the rest of the info I need on here. :good:
Oh, also. Another quick question. I see that the CM10 images are constantly being updated, if (when I get mine working) I want to use one of these, is it simply a case of copying the zip file over? Or is there more to do than that.
Many thanks in advance.
You can boot normally? Into stock, I assume.
Run the apk tool from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106463
Should get you fixed right up
The zip file will have to be flashed from recovery. So, its a matter of copying the zip file (and gapps) over. Boot into recovery. Wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. Then flash rom first, the gapps.
Also, be VERY CAREFUL and make sure you have a GOOD DOWNLOAD by checking the md5 on the file. If you wipe the system (which deletes the stack file) you will not be able to boot into recovery or anything.
I still recommend that you purchase a fastboot cable.
Edit: also, when booting into recovery you might have to hit the power button a couple of times.

Cheers mindmajick. I've tried to do this but still having a few problems.
If I use the wired version, the runme.bat does not have permissions to the data/app folder. I can't seem to run it in Kubuntu as it says I can't run a binary file if I make it executable, but says I don't have permission if I remove execute. (I'm looking into this - but I'm not very good with Linux, so lots of Googling!!...lol....) Also I see that there are some issues with this version with the wireless version being favored. Unfortunately as I'm unable to log onto my Amazon account, I can't use this method.
I will continue to try, I'm almost there now, thanks for you help so far.

I'm still unsure how to run the runme.sh from Kubuntu command line.
I tried - ./runme.sh
but error is - unable to run a binary file - or something like that.
I'm unable to use the cordless version com.powerpoint45.FMKilo-2.apk due to the fact that as the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, I'm unable to log in and download or install .apk files.
Is there is an alternative way to install .apk files without needing to log in?
Hopefully that makes a little more sense. Cheers
Yes. Download the fmkilo apk from his thread, (use the browser if you have to) then once downloaded pull down the notification bar and tap on the apk link. Also, make sure that the option to install from unknown sources is set in the settings before doing the download
You could alternatively push the file via adb to the system Directory.
Is USB debugging enabled? Are you rooted?

Yup, that did it. I had overlooked the fact that I was still able to use the browser on the KF2 and didn't really know you could install .apk's using that method anyway. So now I have carried on and installed Jellybean 4.2.2 on there and it works a treat.
Thank you ever so much Mindmajick for taking an interest in my problem, I really do appreciate yours and the rest of the developers time on here. :good:

Not a problem: Thanks
I think this is a method of pushing the flash and image files to the tablet and then installing using ADB by the way it is described.
I think I have that method copied down some place else.
I have never used this method but, sounds like it would work.
I also presume you need root to do the install via ADB.

I would donate if someone would code an app to sideload apk's from your phone. Would make it so much easier, rather than breaking out the laptop.
Thanks.
..
Yea, I've done it that way...an app with a gui would be more user friendly though. Just a thought...
If you mean any app instead of just paid apps on your phone,there is an invaluably easier way to sideload apk files.
Terminal Emulator will be needed for a few initial steps,unless you don't have unknown sources hacked to enabled which requires root.
If no root access and disabled unknown sources,you will need to use it every time.
1.Install Terminal Emulator on your Fire TV with your current sideloading method.
2.Either use the Terminal Emulator,or the same ADB method to also sideload a browser like Opera or any other browser. (will need keyboard and mouse)
3.Use the web browser to download apk files to install using Terminal Emulator. (or from a file explorer if rooted to enable unknown sources)
4 (optional).Install 1mobile,Aptoide, and/or Appchina for easier access to apps for installing normally or using Terminal Emulator.
Hope this helps,even if just a little.

This is how I send apps from phone to fire tv stick.
1. Install ES file explorer and myappsharer on phone.
2. Sideload ES file explorer on ftvs (can't see why it won't work the same on ftv)
3. Open myappsharer on phone and ES on ftv, tick the apk setting in myappsharer then select apk to share. Choose the ES option then ES send by Lan, accept the transfer on ftv.
Mobizen works on my phone & pc. I tried installing it on the FTVS but once again the remote will not let me click the needed check boxes to accept the EULA on the app. If one can get past that it should work.

Easy Way.
#1 Install APk Extractor On your Phone (android phone/tablet)
#2 install google drive, configure your account
#3 extract APK , upload to GDRIVE
#4 install ES File Explorer on Fire TV/STICK
#5 install via fire tv using ES File Explorer
You can install airdroid on your phone and chrome on your fire tv. There is an option to download apps that are installed on your phone from the airdroid gui. Once that is downloaded you can navigate to the download folder to install the apk. I've been doing that lately, as I found it easier than trying to get market helper to work.

Also the easiest non manual way is to either install TVMC or to use the TVAddon's installation options... All found here: http://tvaddons.ag/

You don't need to be rooted.. But I think you would need to be rooted or use stickmount to use a usb stick for the addons you have to manually load like the Digitele Sports..
But you can sideload the file(s) to SDCard/Download using the AFTV Utility app so you don't need to use a USB stick & delete the files with a File Explorer app later...

Is there any other way of installing a repository to Kodi on a unrooted AFTV ?
AFTV Utility app is no longer working for me...
Go into Kodi then System/File Manager (if you are using the default Confluence skin, then File Manager is below System), choose Add Source, then on the <None> box hit enter and type "http:" then "//" then "srp.nu" without quotes and choose Done, then go down and give it a name, then choose OK. This installs the SuperRepo repository.
I had to post the address strangely because the forum says I'm too new to post a link.

The put the zips in a folder on a PC, share that folder, and go to System/File Manager/Add Source/Browse and choose Windows share (SMB), then navigate to the PC and shared folder.

When I navigate to my pc,it just puts up a 'Locked Preferences' page where I need to put in a name and pw.. it wont let me go to my folder which I have shared.
Sorry, I've never seen that. I have a Windows 7 PC with shared folders that I need to put in my username and password to access, but it's available and just works.
Only other thing I could suggest is uploading the zips to Dropbox, then downloading them to the FireTV and using Addons/Install from zip to navigate the Downloads folder.
Thanks,just found a program that will do it

Hello, XDA! Today, I'll be showing you how to get unlimited skips/song select in Spotify on the OnePlus 5.
Code:
/*
If you are rooted or you have adb enabled and installed
on your computer, skip to the bold section of this post.
If you don't have this done or you don't know how to
do this, read the whole post.
*/
This will require root (root guide for OnePlus 5 here, I recommend using Magisk and not SuperSU.) or ADB.
To enable ADB, just scroll down in Settings to About phone, scroll all the way to the bottom and press Build Number 7 times; this will activate Developer Mode. Go back to the main page in Settings, Developer Mode is near the bottom. From Developer options, you can activate USB debugging (which is ADB). You can download Android SDK Platform-Tools from here. Extract the .zip, go into the folder named platform-tools, and open CMD or Terminal (CMD for Windows, Terminal for Mac/Linux) and drag ADB into the CMD/Terminal to run ADB.
Code:
adb shell
would be
Code:
(drag adb file here) shell
but would show up as something like
Code:
/Users/username/Downloads/platform-tools/adb shell
Once you have rooted or enabled ADB, you can download a new app called jOnePlus Tools [adb/root] from the Play Store. jOnePlus is a modding application for the OxygenOS 4.5.x.
When you open jOnePlus Tools, it will ask for SuperUser Rights (if you are rooted). Select Grant to allow it to 'change' the system. It will then bring up a message that says Permission Denied and it will tell you to grant WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS by running
Code:
adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
over USB. You can either connect your phone to your computer over USB and enable USB Debugging and run
Code:
adb shell pm grant net.jroot3d.joneplustools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
on the computer. If you are rooted, you can skip the whole ADB step; just press GRANT WITH ROOT.
Once you've enabled permissions with adb or root, press the gear icon near the top right, press General, and then Enable experimental features. Go back to the main screen of jOnePlus Tools and press the square-circle shape near the top-middle of the screen. Scroll to the bottom and press 4k (2160x3840). It will lag a bit for about 20 seconds at most. Close Spotify if open. Now launch Spotify. (If your home screen appears to be messed up or corrupted, DON'T FRET! It may be confused because your device is telling it a different resolution. This is temporary.) If you can't click on home screen icons correctly, you can hold the home button to launch Google Assistant and say Open Spotify. When you launch Spotify, it should allow you to have unlimited skips/song select. This is because your Spotify sees your screen size as 2160x3840, a tablet size. The tablet version of Spotify has unlimited song select and skips. Spotify only checks your screen size when it launches, so you can go back to jOnePlus Tools and put you resolution back at Full HD (1080x1920) Default. If you close Spotify, you may need to change your resolution back to 4k again before launching if you want unlimited skips/select (and then back to Full HD Default after launching).

You don't have to get premium, just register the account with a VPN and every month log in to that account from an IP where Spotify is available (it resets the 30day limit for free users)

I downloaded the app from the official website and it works great, but GitHub has no code.

Thanks, I have succeeded to run HBO via a patched apk, as the Firestick 2gen have <6 Android. I will try also the version above, thanks for providing!

Well that was really nice of you to share that patched APK with the rest of us in case someone else has the same issue. We really appreciate that.
Can you please share the patched APK @profusion ?
Or can @nicefile share again his APK?
Hi Everyone,
So I wanted to be able to use the HBO app as well, and hence starting messing around with the various tools available for this purpose. Although Android Studio would be a better choice, for this specific purpose I feel these tools are faster.
I will have to say that I managed to get HBO GO for Eastern Europe to work on Firestick, but although I am able to install HBO Spain it will not launch.
The idea was right in basically changing version and build codes to "platformBuildVersionCode="22" platformBuildVersionName="5.1.0">" in the manifest.xml. But it is not that simple as the apk will then need to be aligned and resigned with a different keystore. This is easily done with various tools. Things I did:
1) Using apktools decompile the apk (i.e. ".\apktool d appname.apk)
2) Open "Androidmanifest.xml" in the project directory.
3) Change both "platformBuildVersionCode" and "platformBuildVersionName" to the appropriate sdk. Usually, for a newer firestick it would be "platformBuildVersionCode="22" platformBuildVersionName="5.1.0" - save the file.
4) Recompile the apk (i.e. ".\apktool b projectfoldername")
Now when trying to install the apk using adb you should get:
[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
This is a good sign and means the manifest was modified correctly. But the apk will now need to be resigned by:
1) Using zipalign to re-align your achive.
2) Place the zipalign.bat and Input/Output folders where "debug.keystore" is located (probably User/YourName/.android). If you can't find keystore there, just open and close a new project with android studio and it should be created.
3) Place your modified apk in the Input folder and re-align with "zipalign -v 4 C:\nameofapp.apk C:\nameofappc.apk
After a success message, copy your re-aligned apk from "Output." Lastly, the re-signing process. You can open a prompt in Android Studio/jre/bin as that's usually where the tools you need are.
1) Paste the apk from "Output" in the folder. Create debug.keystore by typing "keytool -genkey -v -keystore debug.keystore -alias yourappname.apk -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 20000" - write what you wish in the prompts (name, pass etc).
2) Get a certificate with "jarsigner -verbose -keystore debug.keystore C:\yourappname.apk yourappname.apk". Remember that the app needs to be the re-aligned version. Paste it in the appropriate directory.
Then you will need to install the finished apk with your method, but I always use adb since it's easiest. Simply copy the finished apk into your adb directory, then:
1) .\ adb install C:/appname
That's about it. If you have any questions you can ask here, I'm sure someone will either respond (as lots of competent people here) or I can respond myself.
Edit: If you are wondering "why a guy who has 1 post is editing this" it's very simple. I wanted to watch HBO spain without Kodi (I hate it). So I googled a solution on how to import the current app into firestick. And I found this page, which was incomplete, but it was probably the best resource on how to do this.
Anyone made patch for this?

First, uninstall the old versoin of the app. And install this one. (The update not working, becouse of the different signing key.)
I didn't have any version of the apk at the time of installation

Ok. This is a DSA key signed version, I hope it is working:

And I use the Apps2fire android app for the installation.
