I've received my Fire TV today with fw 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 on it. The device works fine for all the amazon related features.
Now I would like to run xbmc/sbmc on it. So I grabbed adbFire 1.14 trying to connect to the Fire TV.
But all im getting is this:
adbFire logfile
reading database
server started
./adb.exe start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
starting server
process time duration: 1 seconds
ssh check
./adb.exe -s 10.0.0.73:5555 shell sshstatus
error: device not found
I have really tried everything I could think of : disabled pc firewall, tested from wifi and lan, from laptop, used static ips instead of dhcp etc ..
Nothing .. I did a factory reset, power cycled several times - still the same. I am 100% sure about the IP address of the Fire TV, and I can ping the device from my pc's just fine (same subnet).
I've tried adb.exe connect 10.0.0.73 from a command prompt .. same thing (unable to connect to 10.0.0.73:5555). The PCs IP is 10.0.0.64 ..
What am I missing ? I've read the forum up and down and can't find anything about it .. thanks for any advice!
Did you remember to navigate to Settings\System\Developer Options and turn on ADB debugging on the FireTV?

I was attempting to root my friend's Kindle fire with the SuperOneClick method. You can google (kindle fire root) and it is like the second result I think. I would link it to you, but XDA tries to prevent spam by disallowing me to do so (good idea, just not working in my favor atm xD)
After completing all the steps and running the final program, it became stuck on step #7. I scrolled the comments and it seems like about half of them were of people getting stuck on step #7. So I thought nothing of it and tried to just switch to a different method which is Kindle Fire Utility. It had a problem with adb and couldn't get in touch with the device.
We tried to reboot the device, but it became stuck on the kindle fire boot screen. All it says is Kindle Fire and it stays on forever unless I press on the power button for over 20 seconds.
After fiddling with the drivers for what seemed to be an eternity, I finally gave up and went home (switched to Ubuntu 12.04 x64).
So after installing the JDK, Android SDK, and configuring everything the way they need to be configured, adb could still not even find the device.

I can't quite figure out what to do past this point. I am quite terrified that I bricked the damn thing .
I never really finished rooting it (I think). So I am quite stuck and would absolutely adore some help. I've went around google for many hours searching for even one person who has the same problem, but I never came close. I think I just never really knew how to word the problem correctly.
Thanks for the help in advance.
EDIT:
I would also like to note that I haven't a thing installed on it. I haven't gotten FFF on it or anything in the slightest. This seems like the epitome of fail when it comes to a rooting attempt. I thought it would be a simple process, but let me be the example of how bad things could possibly get messed up xD
Speaking from experience when I first rooted my Kindle, your looking at 3 options.
1) Use a factory cable to connect the device to a computer (A factory cable pins 1 and 4 at the Micro end while a normal cable doesn't use the 4 pin).
2) Pray you can time it right with ADB to change the boot mode back to normal. Seems like the window's pretty small on this though.
3) I assume the issue with working from Windows was drivers? If you can figure out the drivers in Windows so that it shows up as a Android phone under device manager (I had to use a virtual machine to get it there because of issues with previously installed drivers) then Kindle Fire Utility will do the timing for you and install Fire Fire Fire and fix the problem.
I had it all set up correctly and it worked fine both by USB and TCPIP. At some point in the last day or two this stopped working. I've done a complete reinstall of the SDK on my desktop and followed the instructions here https://devs.ouya.tv/developers/docs/setup
When I do adb devices I just get nothing. adb connect xx.xx.xx.xx gives nothing as well.
When I try to run adb from a terminal emulator on the unit I can start or stop the server but any other adb command results in a 'device not found' message. This message is preceded by some two or three digit word but since my TV crops the image I cannot tell what it says. so it is something like '##r: device not found'
Does anyone have any idea on what I need to do to get ADB working again?
Look in your system settings and make sure the ouya is still being recognized. I haven't used adb since the recent updates, but perhaps something changed causing your computer to no longer see it or caused the drivers to fail.

There aren't any drivers involved here yet. Nothing happens at all when I plug the system in. No devices are detected, correctly or otherwise.
I'm starting to think the micro usb port is just physically broken. I've tried multiple cables, restarting. Connecting other android devices to my desktop which work fine.
could be the port. I have a heck of a time plugging mine in sometimes. it's like the hole in the casing is just a bit bigger than the actual plug, and I have to fumble around for it. I mostly leave the microusb connected all the time now.
Oh!lol.
That happened to me as well. The micro usb port is deeper than normal. My Samsung plugs did not work,I was able to use one from my Kodak pocket video cam.

If you have wireless adb enabled the way to control it so it does not shut down the micro usb port debugging , find the wireless adb .Apk here on xda in the nook color general section and install it then you will beable to open the app and toggle it back and forth to get micro usb debugging back.
My Ouya has done the same thing. Its not hardware but factory reset does not seem to do anything. I have tried several cables , 2 pcs and its the same story all across. MTP connection works fine. ADB , the Ouya thinks its in ADB but nothing is recognized by the pc. Not failed driver install. As soon as you turn debugging on, the Ouya effectively vanishes from the pc.
Alas I did not get as far as putting a file manager on so can not side load anything. Without ADB as well. Well i'm screwed. Not keen on trying to send it back as already got hit for an extra £16.64 by customs, and with the launch the teams are going to be swamped.
I'm convinced its a file permission issue of some sort. But no CWM, ADB , File Manager or Recovery that I have manged to find yet. Well for now at least im stumpped.
Any ideas?

I had done but. But it stopped working some time after, and I have not managed to get it going since. Would it stop wired at the same time? Even so would it not have been reset by the factory reset?
Either way, Ill set it with an ethernet cable and see if the flaky wifi was why adb over wifi did not work.
I'm sure a workable solution will turn up. Just disappointed.
Ill report back.
Thanks
Update: Thanks for your help. I tried over wifi and no joy. But ethernet is working. So just got to sort out the flakey wifi now.
Thanks again.

For anyone who committed to wireless ADB method, and currently stuck without ADB access or su priveledge, the Play Store has a wireless ADB app called "ADB Wireless (no-root)" by Sherdle. Sideload this puppy and you'll be able to toggle the wireless/wired ADB connection!

My Amazon Fire TV seems to work fine. I can access the ADB Debugging option via: System>Developer>Options>Debugging. I can select "ON," and it changes to a blue highlight.
I also know the IP Address both via the Fire TV and via my router (running Tomato), where I assigned a static IP address to the Fire TV. I've tried to acces it via terminal both on my Android phone and on my Linux machine (with ADB installed).
But when I do the sequence outlined here:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb connect <ipaddress>
I get this error: "unable to connect to <ipaddress>"
Anyone have any idea why? The Fire TV is connected via wifi, but I'm not sure why that would matter.
I've seen a number of random posts around the web with the same question, but no solution. So help is definitely needed!

Few suggestions. First, it could be an issue with your router, firewall, wifi, etc. Also, make sure your computer or android device is using the same router when you try to connect. I have two in my house, and almost went crazy when I could not connect to the 3rd FTV I tried to program until I realized my phone was on the other one.
These devices are easy to sideload, so IMO it is probably your router and id check that first. If you have another router, id try that too. Wired up on ethernet.
Have you tried pinging the FTV from your PC to make sure your PC can actually "see" the FTV on your network?
try adding :5555 to the end of the IP.
Thanks everyone! Byrdcfmma was right: It appears that not only must the FireTV be on the same network, but also on the same exact router. I have multiple routers on the same network, and it would only work if I am on the same exact router.
I solved this by ensuring my android device was on the WiFi network of the router that I then connected, via ethernet, to the FireTV.

Can you sideload other apps? It sounds like you don't have it configured right. Recheck your IP address.
My Fire TV Stick has disconnected form the Internet and Bluetooth has been disabled. This means my Fire TV Remote does not work because it needs Bluetooth and i can not connect using the Fire TV Remote App or any other remote app because it needs the internet.
How did this happen?
I sideloaded an app called ES Task Manger it needed an update so i updated it the newly updated version needed a mouse so i used an app that allows me to use a mouse on the app. The newly updated version of this app has changed a lot so i was looking to see what has changed because the app had changed a lot i did know what some things did. I saw a little button at the bottom of the screen i pressed it thinking it would tell me what it is but instead it was a button for optimization and it turned off the internet connection and turned of Bluetooth.
adb is enabled on the Fire TV Stick but I have no Internet Connection.
How am i going to communicate to the device so i can connect it to the internet or enable Bluetooth.

Try this.
You should e able to navigate the menus and re-enable bluetooth to get the remote working again
Or the bt should re-enable when you restart.

I have restarted the Fire TV Stick by plugging it out of the socket and plugging it back in.
When it start it says Loading Home... and in the background it does not warn me that there is no internet connection. Firestarter then starts and then the screen saver of images starts.
Are you rooted?
If you are try connecting to adb through USB and
Code:
su
svc wifi enable
or
Code:
adb shell
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
update secure set value=1 where name='wifi_on';
(You might have to ls and cd around to make sure that that path is correct)
If not rooted try:
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings
adb shell input keyevent xx & adb shell input keyevent xx...
And change the xx to the keyevents for the button presses to access the wifi enable button, my stick is packed away at the minute so can't jot them down.
Once you've got wifi going, adb in and do the button presses to turn bluetooth back on.

You also can do it using the USB cable that came with the fire stick. This is the USB cable that you also use to power it.
Unplug Stick from TV.
Plug in USB Cable to Stick
Plug in other end of USB cable into Laptop
Install Fire TV Drivers and ensure they are installed correctly (google it)
Open CMD
Run adb devices, if drivers are installed correctly continue from a couple of posts up.
listen to Dude360 he defininitly knows more than me
I plugged the Fire TV Stick into the laptop but it said AFTM driver not found.
Thank you so much i have manage to fix the internet and Bluetooth connection. My device is now back to normal after a fer hours messing around.

I then ran the commands that Dude360 provided me with

but when I entered the command into the adb through cmd it gave me an error, so I used the other command instead
Code:
svc wifi enable
my device is not rooted but I gave it a try and when I entered it in it then said something like Svc wifi enable on/off so I typed in svc wifi enable on. WIFI was now enabled, but to use the remote I need Bluetooth to be on. So I search for some commands to enable Bluetooth, but they did not work, but then I remembered that I had Wukong TV Remote install onto the Fire TV Stick and on my phone so I then used the mouse to go back into the ES Task Manager and enabled Bluetooth again but if i had the setting.apk app install i probably could of enabled Bluetooth from there as well. If you do not have the Wukong TV Remote install you could just install it with MoboMarket or you can use try to use adb shell input keyevent xx to enable Bluetooth or WIFI .

Glad you got it sorted
ADB etc is a pain when first starting out but definitely something everyone needs to learn when playing with any Android based device, it can be a life saver.
As for rooting etc, check the dev forum, theres all the tuts in there. Basically you just install Kingroot and click root.
In terms of what else you can do with adb USB, well, its mainly for development so....
Exact same issue, help please!
Hi
I have the same issue as the op had after installing the es task app. Firestick goes on and then home screen goes blank and not able to remotely control the stick through WiFi or bluetooth as they both must have been turned off .
I have adblink and the Firestick connected to it through usb. What do I do code wise? Bit of a novice though with this and any help would be much appreciated.
Dear Dude360, I have the same problem of b25439612 and I did connect the Fire TV to my laptop using the USB cable, installed Mobomarket and all needed drivers, and CMD is up and running and it listing my device correctly but non of the commands for rooted and not-rooted devices are running correctly. Can I have your advice and instructions please>
