Forgive me if this has already been gone over but I cannot seem to find any other discussion about it. I am running the energy ICS rom for my kindle fire and I can no longer run HBO GO since the last play store update.
I uninstalled the play store app and tried to get the app from amazon but it of course says my device is not compatible. I tried side loading an apk for the amazon store version and it does finally launch, but force closes shortly after. I've been trying to find a more updated version of the amazon store HBO GO apk but no luck. I figured maybe if I could get the newest apk that might work. Anyone else with this problem? What am I missing here? Any help would be much appreciated.
You should get gederom.It works with gederom I think.

I'll try that. Is this a nice looking rom like energy? Eh I'll just give it a shot. Can always go back.
No luck on gederom either. HBOGO just says "HBOGO has stopped working" when you try to launch. If you try to do a report you get "Google Play store has stopped responding".
Any other suggestions? I wonder if someone could get the latest apk for HBO go on kindle from the amazon store if that would work. Is there any one that can point me in the direction or maybe somehow rip the latest version apk. The one out for download that I have seen before is outdated and also force closes.
EDIT: Any way to make the Amazon app store think I am running stock kindle fire? I'm just amazed I cannot find anyone else asking about this issue. I can't be the only person with a custom rom kindle fire that wants to use HBOGO can I?
EDIT2: Going to try using IMEI Generator to get amazon app store to let me load the app. Hope this works.

I've been having this issue since they made it official for JB. It ran while I was using twa_priv's JB ROM, but not so much on any other ROM. There's a permissions issue that's causing the app to crash on a lot of JB ROMs, but there's a patch/hack that needs to be applied to it for it to work. It's currently above my smarts range just looking at the coding, but I'm sure one of the devs will figure it out way before I even crack the surface on changing code level permissions.

Well I didn't get Amazon App store to recognize my custom rom Kindle as a stock Kindle, but it didn't matter after all. The following fix makes the Google Play store HBOGO app work again. Credit goes to user diesteldorf for helping me figure this out.
"First, your Kindle Fire has to be rooted but I assume it is. Second, you must have an app called Root Explorer installed.
The file you want to edit is the build.prop file. Go into the Root Explorer app and search for it. It will usually be somewhere in the system directory.
Next you'll want to edit the file. Root Explorer should keep a backup of the original build.prop file but you may want to keep a backup just in case.
Here is a link to what should be the stock build.prop for the Kindle Fire. You'll want to read it using a text editor or MS Office.
Here are the settings you'll be interested in changing:
ro.product.model=Full Android on Blaze or SDP
ro.product.brand=generic
ro.product.name=blaze
ro.product.device=blaze
ro.product.manufacturer=TI
Then Save the changes to the build.prop file and reboot your device."
Once you have done this simply uninstall the HBOGO app from your device if you haven't already and reinstall. Should fire up like normal now.
Once again thank you diesteldorf. I was about to pull my hair out(okay not really).
EDIT: One other thing of note, I actually went back to my backup of energy rom so I am assuming this method should work for any ICS rom but can't be 100% sure of course.
I am having this same problem using hashcodes jb rom. I will give this a try and hopefully this will solve my problem. I need my HBO fix!

The funny thing I found out is doing this fix makes the MAX GO app stop working. I gotta say if someone knows an easy fix that wouldn't interfere with this HBO GO fix i'll take it, but to be honest I really don't care about MAX GO at this point.
Also my feeling is that MAX GO will probably get the same store update that HBO GO got and maybe it will just start working again anyways.

Does anyone have gapps working on the Fire TV 2? I know the Playstore doesn't work on non-rooted Fire TV but I have some apps that require the Playstore to run. If someone has it working, which version of gapps are you using?
thanks,
searched for answer but didn't find anything regarding Fire TV 2
From what I've tried doing was install Xposed, but it won't update, and then install a module for Xposed which won't work unless you update Xposed.

Once I release recovery, I'm sure someone will write a guide to install gapps. I can confirm that google play services seem to function and the play store at least launches. I didn't have a keyboard plugged in, so I couldn't log in, but I'm sure it works. The one tricky part is actually starting the Play Store. It doesn't show up in the regular Amazon menu and going to the "Installed Apps" list in the settings wouldn't let me launch it. Had to use FireStarter and enable system apps for it to show up.

ok cool.. so I then dont worry about updating xposed and look for firestarter and see if it launches then from the installed apps menu, What about using a self powered usb hub plugged in and connect a usb mouse and keyboard. Would that do the trick? I would try now but off to work soon.
Installed latest version of firestarter and tried to launch from there. Same thing.. goes to the play store and i see name in top left corner and in center of
screen no connection / retry. .. should i uninstall the playstore and services, accounts, and reinstall? You said enable system apps in firestarter also.. I dont seem to see that.
Play store won't be able to connect until we can use the HDXposed module which will patch the content provider and download manager that blocks the play store (hopefully this still works on the FTV2).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618158
This requires Xposed working and to install Xposed we need the recovery rbox is working on. Hopefully we can try this out soon. Sideloaded apps should be able to authenticate with the play service even without HDXposed..
I installed recovery yesterday and updated to rbox's pre-rooted 5.0.4r2. I was trying to get Play Store working and totally forgot to stop updates.
Can anybody tell me if I'm able to down grade to a rootable image or if 5.0.5 can be rooted? I've noticed that the android.zip file the was in this guide is now missing. I'm a little bit stuck now.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try this tutorial on a AFTV2?
Update: This issue has now been confirmed solved for the Hulu, HBO Go, and HBO NOW app update error.
There are 2 ways to remedy the issue:
1. The prefered method is to update to the newest ROM. Rbox has issued an updated version of his ROM 5.2.4.2_r2. You can get a copy at the forum post here 5.2.4.1_r2. This updated version fixes playback errors in the new Hulu app as well as HBO (Go and Now) issues. Be sure to follow normal flashing instructions. Note - 5.2.4.2_r1 will NOT work for the new Hulu app (4.x.x).
2. If, for some reason, you do not want to flash an updated ROM. For the quick and dirty solution, post #12 gives instructions on correcting the problem. Note that this method only reverts to an older version of the app (3.x.x) and will not allow the new Hulu Live TV service functionality or the multiple accounts functionality. The same will need to be done for the HBO apk as well.
Original Post:
I'm surprised I'm the only one so far posting about this, but maybe I'm the only one experiencing problems.
The new HULU app updated automatically for me yesterday and immediately rendered playback impossible. Any show, movie, etc. comes back with a playback failure error code cdn-3-xxxxxxxx where the "x"s at the end change to different alpha numeric characters at any time. Here is what I have tried so far with NO POSITIVE RESULTS (in addition to speaking with HULU customer service support desk). I am on a rooted box using TWRP and rbox's system files (sloane).
Uninstalled and reinstalled app
Restarted AFTV
Unauthorized app via HULU website and re-authorized
Restarted router, cable modem, and AFTV (even a long term restart as requested by HULU tech support)
Updated AFTV software version (originally I was on 5.2.4.0 - then I updated to 5.2.4.2)
Wiped cache (Factory Reset)
As stated above, none of these worked.
HULU support gave me no way to uninstall the app and go back to an older (working) version, so I am currently stuck without a working version of HULU.
Here's what I'm interested in finding out from the community:
Has anyone experienced the same problems I have and then been able to get the app working correctly? If so, what method worked for you?
I can probably find an old version of the app online, however, I need to be able to block or turn off the update somehow... is there a method of turning the app update similar to how we stop the AFTV from updating automatically?
Any assistance would be appreciated. I'd really like the old version of the app back, since the newer version is crap.
This should be an old version of the apk you can try to sideload: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xw9rv2nxet2lchu/com.hulu.plus-FireTV-3.2.a.apk?dl=0
Thanks Sizzle, but I fear without a method of stopping the update I will shortly be left in a similar situation as I currently am in. Would you happen to know how to stop the automatic update of the hulu apk?

FireOS 5 UI in Settings/Applications/Appstore/ you can turn off the "Automatic Updates" for all apps. In the future you will get notifications about Updates. You will be able to ignore them or apply them.
Can you confirm that the apk I provided is the older version? I've already upgraded and everything works fine on my Fire TV 1.
Sizzle - I will have some time this afternoon or early evening to implement the rollback and turn off the updates that Y314K provided instructions to earlier. I will post back with results when complete.
Thank you again for the assist.
Yup... I posted this as an issue on aftv news. If your rooted the new Hulu version will not work on your Amazon Fire TV. Please let us know if this method fixes the problem.

The wife is not happy with Hulu not working and honestly she needs a stock always working AFTV box.
Happy Wife Happy Life! After searching a few different ways I'm unable to find a stock nonrooted 5.2.4.2 zip.
Might anyone know where I can download to flash via TWRP?
I can report same issue, it also effects newer versions of HBO GO
I've got a rooted fully unlocked bootloader FireTV 1 and am using version 4.0.0.342 as reported by Titanium Backup with no problems. What specifically shouldn't I be able to do? My hulu account is ad-free. Perhaps you guys are running an adblocker and do not have an ad-free hulu subscription?
Here's the 4.0.0.342 apk from my Fire TV: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mgvqg1ugzhrjpr5/com.hulu.plus-FireTV-4.0.0.342.apk?dl=0
Here's the old 3.2.a version from my other FireTV: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xw9rv2nxet2lchu/com.hulu.plus-FireTV-3.2.a.apk?dl=0
I am looking into this. If it is what I think, it would only be effecting the Fire TV 2 and has nothing to do with root.

Ok - Here are my findings. I attempted to install the 4.0.xxx version on both of my AFTV2 (sloane) boxes. Neither box would play videos (although the app booted and appeared to run correctly initially). Both are rooted with one running 5.2.4.2 and the other running 5.2.1.1.
After unsuccessful attempts of trying out the v4 app on both boxes, I uninstalled the apk, then rebooted.
Installed 3.2.a and success! Both units work as they should.
Although they are not the newest version of the app, I am able to play back video - so that is a plus
This version will not have the new Hulu Live or the separate account access to the app.
For anyone else experiencing this problem, here is the process I would recommend to solve this:
1. Download earlier version (3.2.a) of Hulu app (see Sizzlechest's link posted earlier)
2. Uninstall current non-working Hulu app.
3. Make sure your app automatic updates are set to OFF by going to Settings>Applications>Appstore>Automatic Updates - OFF
4. Reboot Device (may not be necessary, but what does it hurt?)
5. Connect to device via adb
6. Install Hulu 3.2.a.apk via command "adb install com.hulu.plus-FireTV2-3.2.a.apk" - keep in mind this only works if you did not rename the apk from Sizzlechest when you downloaded it.
7. Profit
You will need to re-logon to the Hulu app.
Thanks for everyone's help on this one! A real community effort.
Looking forward to rbox's discoveries on this subject. Thanks for all of your hard work on this and all of the other projects you've been a part of.

Sorry, forgot to address this Sizzle.
I DO have the add-free version of Hulu, but not the newer Hulu Live subscription. I am not running any adblocker software.
Okay. I have a theory on why both Hulu and HBO are not working. Like I said this is going to be a Fire TV 2 only thing. If someone is willing to try a fix, please PM me. Do note, this might brick the box. I really don't know. And if it bricks, it'll be super dead. But, there is a slim chance the unbrick program could revive it, so I would prefer someone who has a box that was rooted with my preloader instructions and not KingoRoot. But, if you don't care, and you didn't use the preloader instructions, and want to try anyway, there definitely won't be any way to recover it. I will say this again. If you try this fix, there is a chance it might brick the box. Just want to make that clear.

Sorry Duck, but I am not aware of the HBO Now app - I use Prime channels for my HBO subscription.
In the case of the Hulu app, I had to revert to the previous whole number version of app in order for it to work - V4.x.x.xxx --> V3.x.xxx
My suggestion is to just try some different versions in a fairly methodical way and see what works. It's fairly easy to install and uninstall via adb and only takes a few min.
Also, be sure to turn off automatic updating in the Appstore (different than updates for system), otherwise your app will just update itself again to the newer version and you'll be stuck.
Hopefully rbox will use his magical powers and get us an answer to all of our troubles soon. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the reply @chadster1976. Was able to get things to work by downloading an earlier version of HBO Now from the same place you guys suggested. Thanks again! Was able to watch GOT lastnight again on my main TV.

I'm willing to test as I have spare AFTV devices just in case. Just sent you a PM @rbox
So I downloaded @rbox 5.2.4.2 deleted the SU directory inside the zip as instructed, then wiped everything possible 3x upon which I cleanly reinstalled 5.2.4.2 and Hulu still does not work on my non rooted AFTV 2 Box. Direct TV Now works perfectly without installing HideMyRoot so maybe this is truly just a Hulu issue on AFTV 2 Boxes. @AFTVnews.com

Not sure Tekno. I was on chat 3 separate occasions with the Hulu tech support team and they claimed this had only been a rare occurrence... Take that however you want to... The extent of their assistance was resetting everything - including router, modem, etc. Then the final thing they suggested was a factory reset. I eventually did try that after updating to the latest firmware version from rbox. Needless to say that did not work. They couldn't help me with downgrading to the previous working version of the app, which is why I started this thread here on XDA.
Hi All,
I have a requirement which I have not been able to figure out. I have the Firetv Generation 2 with the latest OS. I also have the NVidia Shield and the Infomir's Stalker App purchased there. When I move the Extracted APK to the firetv, it installs ok but then starts off and brings a popup that the license file of google play is missing.
Is there a way I can bring the license file the application is looking for on the firetv or
can I install google play and install it through that?
There is no Firetv version of the application. Any help is much appreciated.

Alternatively, Is there a way to root the box and or install Google Play and get it through that? I saw a guide to install Android TV Fully but that I believe requires Root. The Last time I rooted my firetv years ago, I bricked it and I have two bricked firetv's in the closet. Except for this app, I don't have any need to root.
You can install google play services to get apps that require it to run, but you can't sign in to get past the licence check. Not without root.
