Ive been trying to backup my spmc build on my fire tv stick and everytime it gets to about 500megs it seems to disconnect. Has anyone else experience this? I've backed up and restored a number of other ones could it just be the stick itself?
Hello, I just recently bought the Amazon Fire TV stick. When I first got it, I was able to connect it to my computer using the adbFire tool with no problem. I was able to sideload Kodi and push apps to it with no problem. Now, a couple days later, when I try to connect the same device using the same program, it keeps popping up with the message "device not connected".
I tried to connect through command prompt but it still didn't work. I also tried pinging w/ command prompt but it keeps giving me "Destination host unreachable". I turned ADB debugging off and back on, turned wi-fi off and back on, and rebooted the stick multiple times yet it still doesn't work.
Anyone have any ideas on what might be the problem? I don't understand how it was connecting just 2-3 days ago but it doesn't work when i try it now. Only other thing I can think of is a factory reset but I'm hesitant to do that in fear of me not being able to sideload everything again.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Make sure fire tv stick has not been assigned the primary IP address for your modem typically 192.168.1.100 if this is the case than simply get a new IP address. I wasn't able to connect adb when for some reason my fire tv grabs ip address 192.168.1.100.
Thanks

I tried changed the IP address on the FireTV and I am still getting the error when I try to connect it . However I am getting results when trying to ping so at least there's some progress. I'm going to play around with it more in a bit and see if I can get it to work. Thanks for the tip!
it's working again
just to update i reset my connection as well as rebooted my FireTV stick (once again) and now it's finally working. Thanks again for the help!

Same experience - couldn't connect to or ping the Fire Stick at first, then restarted it, the router and my computer, and it worked.
As above, I go to install and it just keeps reloading, tried restarting everything and forgetting the network on fire TV???
Any help would be great! I was able to get ADBFire to connect to my Fire TV stick. I chose the kodi apk to install and it began. It got to the end and started again...then again...and again. Never installed the app.
Any thoughts?
Alright So i rooted my fire tv stick v5.0.5, with kingroot 4.82, everything was working perfect, i blocked ota updates, and i froze the fireTV Home, and used firestarter. I rebooted the fire tv and it rebooted perfect, still had root, everything was great! I wanted to connect my playstation controller to it, but i couldnt access the fire tv settings because i froze the fire tv home and the built in settings is part of the fire tv home, i tried to install regular settings.apk, i tried several different ones but it would just fail installing, i thought my regular settings was interfering with it, so i backed it up and froze the fire tv settings just to try to install regular android settings afterward, and i rebooted the stick. Now my stick is stuck at the fire stick logo and wont boot, im sure its because i froze the settings, since it booted fine with root before i froze that, and that was the only change i did. Anyone got any ideas on how i can fix it?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I had the same issue with the FireTv Stick but another os.
I had a hardware rooted FireTv-Stick on Software: 54.1.1.0_user_110031420. That means FireOS 3, not FireOS 5.
Yesterday I let the stick push some file with ES-File-Explorer to my NAS. In this process the system restart (I think because to much power consumption and less powerfull usb port yesterday).
Now it does not start anymore. @deershoot3r
Perhaps we had a chance to get our sticks back by flashing a stock-rom from amazon.
Once I read something about fastboot and recovery possibilities.
At first you should load your stock-rom from here: http://www.aftvnews.com/software/
Perhaps we can connect a usb cable and start fastboot, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57308281&postcount=6

Actually i tried this, i cannot connect to it through fastboot, because the fire tv will not get past the "FireTv Stick" logo, any suggestions? am i doing something wrong?

fastboot kicks in as soon as you power off your unit, if you get to the amazon logo it is already too late however fastboot will not work for you anyway as your firestick boot loader is locked.
Please push my amazon community topic:

Perhaps amazon help us and provide a solution!
But I need you guys!
