Hi Guys,
Just bought the fire tv and was looking to sideload the kodi app to it. Unfortunately at home I don't have access to a computer so have brought it into work were I work on both mac and pc. I am unable to connect via hdmi to view the menu options but should be able to tell the ip address of my fire tv via my network.
My question is if I sideload an app and once finished I power down the fire tv will this work when I go home and power back on again?
I have already enabled adb debugging at home.
Thanks for your time
Darren
Shouldn't be an issue..
If you have an android phone you can sideload via agk fire

hello
i am having a hard time installing xbmc on my fire tv stick
i can get my amazon fire tv stick it to connect using adbfire but i have to use a different ip address that is showing on the about screen on my amazon fire tv stick so instead of 192.168.1.11 (which is the ipaddress on my fire tv stick) i used 192.168.1.1 and it connects. then when i try to install xbmc apk from desktop via abdfire the green status bar just loads and loads and loads. i left it going all night last night and i still did not get a successful this morning.
when i enter this different ip address in the command prompt (via adt bundle- sdk- platform tools) it will connect but then when i type check devices it says offline so i cant install the xbmc apk
ive also tried installing spmc and cannot get it to show up on my amazon fire tv stick even after syncing and looking for it on the cloud
Are you using Windows? Try right clicking on adbfire and running as an administrator.

maybe i downloaded adbfire wrong? i dont think so though.
I downloaded - unzipped it- then clicked on the adbfire icon and it opened up the app then i try inputting ipaddress of the amazon fire tv stick and it keeps saying device not connected..
i also have adb debug mode turned on
idk

AFAICT, the problem isn't related to adbFire. The OP can't ping the FireTV Stick's IP address. Hopefully, more eyeballs here can help get his network problem fixed. I can't be positive, but I think 192.168.1.1 may be his router.
I'd try removing adbFire from the equation. Open a command-line and CD to the adbFire folder. Then try running adb.exe from the command-line. Try:
Code:
adb connect 192.168.1.11:5555
just like you tried:
Code:
ping 192.168.1.11
Try manually assigning the fire tv stick an ip address with your router that way you always know what its ip address is. 192.168.1.1 is definitely not it
fire tv
ok i took fire tv to friends house last night and got it to connect on her router via command . I was then able to install xbmc via command on fire tv stick.
so it must be something with my router?
i tried connecting via command when i got back to my house and could not connect.
I also tried inputting adb connect 192.168.1.11:5555 but no luck.
192.168.1.11 is the ip address shown on the fire tv stick
how do you manually assign the fire tv stick an ip address?
also how do you install apps like 1 channel and icefilms on to the fire tv stick once xbmc is installed.
i may try getting a new router
thanks
adbfire
also i could not get the fire tv stick to connect to adbfire even at my friends house.

Make sure that you disable your firewall on both your PC and your router.
Hi nooby here.. hope you can help...
Going mad trying to get pc to connect to Fire TV to allow me to side load XBMC ... have downloaded various utilities which do not allow me to connect to Fire TV and even tried just using adb from command line as follows :
adb connect < ip address of fire> which just hangs and I have set adb options on through settings on Fire Tv.
even why I type adb devices in command line I get nothing coming back from list of devices attached ?
Coul it be my firewall(s) ... I am just using windows firewall on pc and trying to connect via sky sagecom router
made sure that Fire Tv is on same network and I can ping fire tv no problems from cmd on PC ?
An y help would be appreciated - thanks

Did you activate ADB on your AFTV?
Well, this may sound like a dumb question, but it's usually the small things that will give you issues.
So, do you have ADB turned on the Fire TV?
Also, is your AFTV connected wired or wireless?
Have you tried setting a static IP on your AFTV?
And this will not solve your issue, but if you have a Android tablet or phone you can install Terminal Emulator and ADB into the AFTV using it (ADB is apart of Android so you don't have to do anything but install and run Terminal Emulator then run adb commands).
adb connect your.ip.address:5555
Not sure why.......but ADB Devices is empty. I can do ADB connect IP addy and it works fine..but nothing on the device list. Tried restarting the Fire TV...replugging the ethernet cable....renabling/enabling Debugging...can anyone please assist?
It could be that it's connecting but then being disconnected by an app you have installed, like FireStarter. Try manually force quitting all your apps, then toggle ADB Debugging off and on a few times in the Fire TV settings, then connect ADB from your PC and see if it sticks.
I received this from a friend because it was bricked after an update ran against its custom ROM.
I have tried everything to restore it, but nothing seems to work. It starts up but only gets to the Amazon TV logo and just sits there. Here's what I have tried so far:
1. I connected it to my laptop via an A-A Male-Male USB cable, but my PC doesn't see it so I can't push anything to it via ADB.
2. I connected it to my network, but it doesn't pull an IP address so I can't push anything to it via ADBLink.
3. I tried using the remote to force a factory reset using back arrow and right, but it doesn't see the remote so that doesn't work either.
4. I connected a USB keyboard to it and used Alt+PrtScn+i to force it into recovery mode, but it only display a system recovery screen and doesn't give me any options and doesn't do anything when I press the "Home" key.
Any advice on restoring this Fire TV would be GREATLY appreciated:laugh:
I've got a first gen fire tv box with a remote that doesn't want to detect the remote. and being as it wont let me pass the setup im looking for any fix for this ? Im still able to access the stock recovery so is their any ota's i can flash ? or any other method to root the box without being in the system ?
is the box fubar ?
Dumb question but did you put the remote in pairing mode when you are trying to connect? You can always connect a keyboard to navigate through the set up. As for rooting, you should check AFTVnews for guides if you are on a rootable software version.
Hey I just got a gen2 firestick from a friend and it didn't come with a remote is there any way to set it up without remote I have a gen 1 firestick I use the remote app on it but can't connect with the new one due to it not being set up Any suggestions
Adb probably isn't enabled, is it?
My Fire TV stick 2 suddenly refused to recognize my remote but I could send a few key presses via adb and suddenly the remote worked again.
