Please forgive me my English, I'm German.
I have installed the fire tv launcher mod on my rooted device, so every time I start my fire tv it boots up xbmc.
I wanted to try spmc because I had micro stuttering when watching an movie. So I hve uninstalled xbmc and installed spmc and didn't touch the launcher mod. Now every time I boot the device it tries to launch spmc but spmc seems to be broken it tells me obb not present yet, and when I click exit it just refreshes the screen and I'm in a loop I can't get out.
How can I solve this issue I don't want to loose root , please help me

can you use adb? try sideloading xbmc again and removing spmc.
As far as I know you will have to factory reset your box, as you won't be able to sideload anything as long as it is in the loop.
I sideloaded the Xbmc arm and tried to upload the repos and it say pretty much every repo is incompatable? What did I do wrong? I set Xbmc up the same way I did on the fire andit isn't having any problems.

which version of xbmc / kodi are you using? The exact same thing happened to me few days back on SPMC when I reinstalled it because the previous installation stopped updating addons for some reason. Then I tried the final gotham and helix rc1 releases and the compatibility issue was gone. Once I reinstalled spmc everything was fine. sad part is that I couldnt figure out what the issue was.
you can try superrepo but they have a lot of outdated addons there.
You probably need to "force refresh" your repo. Google for it and give it a go.

The version was Gotham 13.2
Last week I rooted, downgraded and am running rbox 51.1.4.0_514006420. Since I was starting from scratch I decided to try helix 14.0. After a day or 2 I began having problems opening add-ons. Big problems. Wouldn't open video or program or otherwise. The ui was fast and smooth and samba shares opened and played fine. So I install Gotham 13.2 which is running fine on my other aftv that is further away from router (both are on 5ghz)
But, after a day it was the same problem. Video add-ons wouldn't open. After much trial & error the only thing that worked was uninstalling and starting from scratch.
I use tvaddons with just genesis and few others.
The only difference between my new aftv and the old is the old one has rbox boot menu with latest firmware and new one has 51.1.4.0 updated.
Any theories?
updated new one is running
After updating my Fire TV with rbox's 51.1.6.3 rooted firmware I started to notice a problem in Kodi. When watching a video (via SMB or USB) I would skip around and it would eventually freeze, get pixelated and then struggle to catch up to where it should be. Most of the time it would get so bad that I'd have to exit the video and resume.
I was running Kodi 15.1 Isengard when I first noticed this, so I upgraded to 15.2 RC1 and the problem was still there. Downgraded to 15.0, same problem. Tried SPMC, the same. After eliminating Kodi as the issue I downgraded my Fire TV to rbox's rooted 51.1.6.2 and everything was fine again.
I'm curious to see if this anyone else has run into this problem. If you do reply, please say whether you're rooted or not.
Shoot! I did notice it's a lot more difficult to fast forward. I thought it happened to be the new files I was using or something with the file server.
Not just you I went through same steps as you. Have big issues with kodi since updating.

Hi! I have an non-rooted first generation Fire TV, and a 3 weeks ago when I started it up, I painfully discovered that pretty much everything other than the main Amazon app were simply GONE. I haven't the faintest clue as to why this happened, but after several attempts to recover the missing apps, etc, I finally resorted to a factory reset. I then re-installed all my previous apps, but only one of them failed every time I ran it: Netflix for AFTV!
Netflix invariably now immediately reports the "UI-800-3" error and it never stops. I followed all the instructions about how to resolve this problem, but it never works. One possibly critical issue is that, after uninstalling Netflix, when I use the main Amazon interface to attempt to re-download it -- or ANY other app! -- any click on any app to download it is totally ignored! No click sound, no response whatsoever!
So I used the "Apk Extractor" app on the Netflix app on my Second Generation Fire TV, and then installed it on the first AFTV using ADBLink, which completed without error. From then on the "UI-800-3" error nightmare began.
So what I need is a Netflix for AFTV apk that's compatible with First Gen Fire TVs running FireOS v5.2.1.1 -- Does anyone have such?
I've seen recommendations to use the APK for Netflix for Android TV, but that hasn't worked out for me.
Kindly help me. Thanks!
I've tried using ADBLink to install the following Netflix apks: Netflix_3.3.5.apk and Netflix_4.0.5.apk
The latter reports that it is incompatible with first generation Fire TVs, so I uninstalled it.
The former tries to run, but again gets infinite "UI-800-3" errors.
So I removed all the DNS blocks that were preventing Amazon updates, and went ahead (very reluctantly) and upgraded to the latest system, v5.4.2 (if I'm recalling it correctly). But Netflix still refuses to run without eternal "UI-800-3" errors!
Furthermore, when I manually navigate around the main Fire TV app looking to download Netflix, it's nowhere to be found! Every other app shows up and allows downloading EXCEPT Netflix!
What the hell is going on?

Happened a while back. Netflix is only allowing the most recent version of their app to access their service. And those more recent versions only run on FIreOS 5. So you need to look thru this forum to the numerous ways to upgrade your FTV1 to FireOS 5. It's that simple.
I performed yet ANOTHER full reset and ANOTHER system update until no further updates were available, and finally, Netflix appeared and installed fine. Happily, it works fine!
I haven't submitted enough posts yet that I'm allowed to post external links, but I will be posting the working Netflix apk in another thread, here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/netflix-apk-compatible-aftv-gen-1-please-t3628174
I updated to the latest prerooted rom by rbox (jan 8 2018) on fire tv 1 and now can't find Netflix.
I had it before upgrading I was way back at os3, 51.1.1.0 or something and saw it under settings all apps, cleared it's cache and data, then uninstalled. Now when I search for netflix it doesn't find anything. Tried resyncing my purchased stuff under my account and still don't see it. Should I try and reflash the rom now that I've removed my old netflix apk?

An update: I got my answer in a similar board from @Sizzlechest :
"I just installed Netflix on my rooted Fire TV 1 with the latest OS and Netflix works fine.
EDIT: Here's a link to my Netflix APK: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AjlFvM-kUCwh_VrvNbHA-1xdlIx0 "
