Hi, sorry if this has been answered but I've done a search. So I have my USB drive mounted and allso good but whats the best way to add new movies to the drive. The device appears in windows but I can't see the drive. I 've tried to map a network drive to 192.168.1.3\sdcard\usbStorage\sda1 but it won't connect.
I've also tried snappea but it doesn't see any network on the fire tv.
Any thoughts?

I haven't tried this, but if you want to mount the drive or ftp files over, you could try one of the SMB or SSH server apps.

Have you tries using adb to push files to the drive?
So this worked a treat for me. Taken from another site
I just tested this: funkyfresh.samba (wasn't allowed to post the URL
First link, and it works fine once you set the screen to landscape.
Here a guide:
1. Download Samba Filesharing from above, sideload it, and launch it.
2. Press the button with the 3 horizontal lines on the remote and choose settings.
3. Set a password. Without a password the rest is greyed out. For test use 1234
4. Set screen orientation to Landscape, press back to exit and launch the app again.
5. Choose a username, default is SDCARD
6. Press back.
7. Press the button with the 3 horizontal lines on the remote and choose enable.
8. Wait a sec or 5. When asking for SU say YES, the app will exit to background.
On the windows computer:
1. Open windows explorer and choose connect to network drive.
2. Enter \\ipaddressofftv\SDCARD choose a drive letter, tick use different credentials and press OK.
3. In the username field enter: SDCARD in the password field: 1234
4. Press Ok.
You can choose to mount \\ipaddressofftv\usbStorage\<deviceid> in step #2 and thereby mount the harddrive directly if you don't care about having access to the rest on the box.

After a reboot you need to run the stickmount and samba again. You don't need to change anythign on your pc though.
I don't think there is a way to load programs on boot for the fire tv until there is a custom Rom. I think.

I think this is incorrect. I do have some apps, "Stickmount" included, which get executed automatically at boot time. It may be that "Samba Filesharing" just doesn't support this feature.
Try using "SambaDroid" instead of "Samba Filesharing". It is able to execute automatically at boot time.

Yeah i can confirm stickmount works automatically after reboot on my FTV.
I would really like this setup to work without needing to manually set it up everytime after a reboot. This way i can set my downloads directly to my portable hd plugged on my KFTV and not worry that it will fail. It would work almost like a server/NAS :victory:

That's what I'm trying to achieve. I'm going to start messing around with a usenet client on the fire tv and see if I can have it downloading to the external drive. It would be a great little setup .

Yeah. That would be ideal. But i would be satisfied if i can access the portable hd from my network and then send my downloads to it from my main pc.
I think i will try the sambadroid and see if it works at boot. Anyway give us any update of your progress.

Just want to give a status update. I tried sambadroid and it works ok even after reboot.
But my transfer speed over wifi is quite slow. Around 1.5mb/s. Maybe its my router but i could get better speed with my old htpc. Maybe it's sambadroid. The app says i can get better speeds with paid pro version. Or maybe i need to be wires to get better speed.
Anyway i want you guys to know my progress.

My USB Drive is formatted as ex-fat. While I can mount the drive the Firetv only sees around 5gb of free space when actually there is 300+. Any suggestions? I'm on a Mac and cant use Windows NT formatting.
usb drive and ftp
Plugged in a 2TB USB drive to the FireTV, installed an ftp server on the FireTV, put cyberduck (ftp client) on my Windows 7 machine.
Now I can create directories on the USB drive on the FireTV from my Windows machine and ftp files into those directories. XBMC sees them fine and plays them.
I cannot ftp any file over 2GB it fails every time (no mater if ftp or ssh or different client on the Windows box.) I CAN add files over 2GB to the USB drive if it detach it and plug it direct into my Windows machine and transfer the files. Then the FireTV and XBMC can see those files and use them normally.

1. Root your phone
2. Either modify your existing APN to use IPv4 and adding 'dun' to the list of APN types, or create a duplicate APN with the same modifications
3. Set the modified/new APN as your default.
4. Download tether_counter_kill.txt from the OP's first post, and rename the file removing the txt extension (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59858654&postcount=1)
5. Install Smanager from Play Store
6. Navigate to tether_counter_kill from Smanager, and set both 'Su' and 'Boot' options. Run it (you won't need to do this again)
7. Start Mobile Hotspot on your phone, and connect to the hotspot from your devices
8. Immediately start a VPN client from your device(s) which will tether. VPN must redirect ALL traffic (e.g., TorGuard).
9. Enjoy unlimited WiFi tether

Looks like the settings.db is on a lock-down. I can't access it via sqlite any longer. It says: "the database is currently locked by another process"
Any ideas? @autoprime ?
Quick Edit: was able to copy settings.db to sd card and open it up with sqlite. couldn't change any parameters, as sqlite would fc. Downloaded this guy (http://sqlitebrowser.org/) and made changes, then overwrote the one in data/data directory. We'll see how/if it works.

Nope, something over-writes the tethering back to "1" after each reboot. I'm sure @autoprime can figure this one out, as he did for KK.
You are right I'm on LG G2 with official T-Mo lollipop and I was able to edit settings.db...not with sglite but with SQLite Debugger.
After reboot, the changes i made to the tethering reverted back to dafault 1.
For those that want to use wireless tether, try the app from this thread (it's $2.5):

I'm more interested in making the usb tethering work. I'll try using IPv4 + vpn tonight. Pretty sure it's going to fail because of the tether.dun set to 1...

or those having issues with tethering. I tested it out today and had issues. It would connect but would not resolve dns. I have unlimited tethering on Three, it's always worked until now.
Doing this resolved my issues. I suspect this issue will be resolve by Three when an official uk build is released.
This can be fixed permanently using the following procedure (UPDATE: no root required):

anyone tested does this work with no tether tracking?
Uploading a tether_dun_required=0 script (needs root) that you can use with Smanager to either trigger it via a desktop widget, app, or set it on boot. Remove ".txt" from the end and navigate to it via Smanager. I will test tethering later tonight.
Make sure you click/select the SuperUser icon in Smanager's options.

Ohh okay. even better.. ill try it and report back. thanks
EDIT:
Strange, i cant even get an SSID to show up on the native hotspot now. I know it worked before -- i used it last Sunday. The hotspot turns itself off after like 30 seconds.
Okay.. So I did a factory reset because i didnt know how to fix my problem from my previous post.
Then I:
1) added the same APN as IPV5
2) did this:
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
Start an adb shell: adb shell
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
3) used the native tether app
I haven't tested it very extensively but from what i can tell, i am able to tether and it just shows up as normal data vs mobile hotspot. I transferred bout 600mb as a test. will test more later.
Thanks for your help RussianBear!
EDIT:
I lied. i think tmobile was delayed in reflecting my usage. it showed up today.
My hot-spot was broken by LP. Devices connect fine but have no Internet whatsoever. I'm able to USB tether without issues using PDANet and just selecting level 1 hide tether usage works fine. No needs for UA switching or anything like that. Just wish the WiFi tether worked, even if it's counting.

Script Works for WIFI Tether
It appears that this method is working for WIFI tethering as well. I watched an 11 minute Youtube and then emailed myself a 5.5MB Powerpoint. Here are my results:
Before After
Mobile Hotspot 92.2 92.4
Data 462.2 527.1
Not sure where that 0.2MB came from, but that's not much of my 5GB plan, so I don't much care.
Update 1: Figured out where the 0.2MB came from. My testing used all encrypted traffic over HTTPS, and TMO couldn't track it. I then ran a CNN.com video and the Mobile Hotspot counter spiked. Still not quite there yet.
Update 2: Enabled my VPN, and no traffic at all is being tracked by TMO. No user agent required. Yipee!!

Saw this over in the AT&T subforum, originally posted by @ExTREmE99 , just reposting here.
This will disable the carrier check on your Verizon G4 and allow you to use the native WiFi tether - no root needed!
1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
5. In the adb shell, run these commands one by one:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
reboot
When your phone comes back up you will have a fully functional native WiFi tether

don't use the hotspot app - in fact, disable that one.
You want to use the built in functionality to tether (not technically an app)
Go to settings, More (under wireless networks), then "Mobile Hotspot". You can setup your SSID and password in there. Also, you can create a shortcut in your notification bar by scrolling over to the right side, clicking edit, then checking the box next to "Mobile Hotspot"
Hope that helps.

Could you try disabling the verizon hotspot app? Mine was disabled way before I discovered this so I may need to add this step to the instructions. you may want to go through the steps one more time after that to ensure everything is set correctly. Don't forget to restart either. It works great on mine so it should for yours as well - unless you took the update a week ago?
Let me know - Thanks!

hmmm i think I'm confused. My Hotspot app is apparently still in my app drawer. When i click on it it just takes me to the native hotspot functionality.
Honestly I'd attempt to run those commands again. It would help if you took a screen shot of the command prompt window after running all of the commands. After each command it should pause for a second or two then jump to the next line with no errors or responses.
Is your USB debugging on? Also, are you in MTP or PTP USB mode when plugged into your PC?

I'm using the native tethering just like everybody else (Settings, More, flick the tethering switch to On and receive the service check). Haven't taken the OTA and have the service disabled via debloater tool. I appreciate the help!
At this point I'm not sure why some are reporting that this works while others aren't. I added a message on the original post warning that this isn't a for sure thing. I'll be sure to update if/when I find a fix or what is going wrong, but for now I think I have enough info to look into this. thanks for your help everyone and I hope that I can find a fix for this. Worst case - we have to wait until we have root to enable this.

For whatever reason, busybox didn't install properly to your fire device. adbLink 2.05 will has code that will hopefully prevent this from occuring, but in the meantime try pressing the adb shell button when you connect. It should force a reinstall of busybox.
Hi everyone
i my friend gave me his firestick 4k the other day because he has managed to mess it up big time
He said that he followed a tech docter youtube video to sideload an app to remove bloatware, after being successful at this, he then used an app that clears your cache and closes all the apps for you, from what i can understand it sounded like the app "cleanmaster"
after doing that he immediately lost his internet connection, he said that there wasnt even a network section anymore, just a troubleshooting option, he then factory reset his stick but this didnt solve anything
ive got the stick setup now, ive looked in the network section and he was right, theres nothing, even in the my fire tv section where you can see the ip/mac/ssid etc, they all say "not connected"
ill attach pictures
Im willing to flash this somehow, or root it, install cfw anything, please help!
Try:
Select Settings > Network from the Fire TV menu, then Play/Pause on your remote, and follow the recommended steps.
If that doesn't work maybe reset the stick again.
I know one of the settings in the debloat tool turns off the ability to see new networks, resetting should have reenabled that switch.

Thanks for replying, pressing play/pause does nothing, as you can see there is nothing on the network page at all except the troubleshoot option
Factory reset doesn't work at all, doing a factory reset from the my fire tv section just makes you go back to the settings menu, using the back and right button combo does nothing either, even if you wait for the countdown to end
When he gave me the stick he had already factory reset it so there are no apps on here at all including this bloatware one you mentioned, nothing

If you have a stick that is from 2019 you can fix it by unlocking it and installing another firmware. This will also give you root privileges.

It doesn't have to show ip address, follow the thread carefully. It involves opening up the stick, connecting it to pc (via the power cable) and shorting a resistor.
This will unlock the stick and let you flash brand new firmware. It's the only way to do it if your factory reset isn't working I'm afraid.
Regards
Thankyou for this fantastic response, when I've got spare time and the balls to try it I'll dive in, seems complicated but I'll give it a good go

don't unlock your stick, use any of the method
Method 1:
reinstall the app again and turn on wifi, the wifi on the stick is disabled.
Method 2:
take out your stick, connect to your pc
wait for it boot
enter
adb devices
if it says "unauthorized"
press "Down" on remote two timesand press "select" to authorize your pcwhen it says "device"
enteradb shellsvc wifi enable
if you get "killed" error then go for method 3
Unplug your stick from PC and connect to your TV.
Method 3
Install the apk on your stick, then click on "Enable"
It will also tell you if your Wifi is disabled or not.
This app can TURN ON and TURN OFF the WIFI
Here's a proof
Hi I'm trying method 2 at the moment, but if it doesn't work how do I install the WiFi enabler APK without having WiFi?

You can close the thread but you'll have to contact the forum maintainer, which isn't necessary, just click the under post #8.

I've run into the next problem, I've installed the debloat tool, I've re enabled everything to try and clean up the mess my friend made, but when I try and deregister the stick it just goes straight back to settings, is there anything else I can do here? (he said I can have the stick now as he has a new one)

Look, sorry for the issues, you have to do some steps.
Connect your pc to stick (using wifi)
adb connect IP:5555
then adb shell
then enter
pm list packages -d
And send me the output

Reboot your stick (Long press "Play/Pause + Select" for few seconds)
Try deregistering, is result is same, go to developers options, turn it off and then on again.
Go to network section of the stick copy the ip address.
Then go to your pc, (make sure your Stick and PC are on same wifi network)
Enter
adb disconnect
adb connect ip:5555
Here ip is the ip address of your stick
Eg adb connect 192.168.43.123:5555
It should connect

In the shell

Main one is oobe but enable both of them
