[APP] [Windows] Amazon FireTV Utility App v0.64

Hi Guys,
I've created GUI app to easily sideload your apks to the Amazon FTV & Stick.... I will be updating it over time with extra bells and whistles.
Please take note that this app contains Towel root exploit which some virus checkers will report a false positive. (This app is 100% virus free)
I do not take any responsibility if you root your device and it gets bricked.
The link below will direct you to the download page where you will find the app.

https://www.dropbox.com/l/5bRCVHUmnzSOTYNOzgrIud?
1. Unzip the folder to "C:\FTV"
2. Launch app "FTV Side App Installer.exe"
3. CMD will launch automatically and run the ADB commands.
4. Once its all done it will confirm "Success" in the CMD window.
I've only tested it on Win8, but should work on Win7.
Enjoy
P.S I don't take any credit for the adb.exe and dll files. Just the frontend GUI interface.

What did you code this in? VB?
If i could suggest something, You can code a radio button that says AutoPilot and another that says Llama where it would download the apk from the web or include them in your zip file. Autopilot allows to automatically boot into xbmc upon reboot and llama lets you change the home button action.
If you go the download apks on the fly route can you use this command line to download the files
bitsadmin.exe /transfer "AutoPilot" "https://diegomejia.globat.com/android/AutoPilot.apk" c:\FTV\Autopilot.apk

wondering how hard it would be to automatically detect the amazon fire tv IP. Either scan for a series of ports that are open on the FTV or you can say make sure the FTV is off, scan the network for all IPs then have the user power on the FTV and scan it again. Compare the IPs and if done correctly there should be an IP that appears on the second list thats not on the first. Sorry for all the requests i just think its cool what you did and know these features would mean alot

wouldnt the backup of xbmc depend on the XBMC version you were running?
For Regular XBMC
/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/
For SPMC Version:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.semperpax.spmc/files/.xbmc/
For XBMC on Ouya Version:
/sdcard/Android/data/tv.ouya.xbmc/files/.xbmc/
It might be easier to code a variable with the location and have three radio buttons (XBMC, SPMC, Ouya) on the top where they would choose the version they were running. Would keep it cleaner

Good point... Will update on for the next release... Cheers

Also, when installing XBMC, a -r is needed to preserve all your XBMC settings. adb install -r xbmc.apk
Could something like that be added?

also instead having a different button for ouya splashscreen and gotham splashscreen you should create one button that ties into what they choose as their xbmc version. You should make it so those buttons are disabled until they choose their XBMC version.

Worked okay to save my xbmc data
Worked okay to upload new xbmc pkg
But doesn't work to restore. Says it can't find c:\FTV\xmbc but it is there.

So it installs XBMC without preserving all the settings during the install like -r would?

If you are responding to my post, I had uninstalled it before loading the next version. I've been removing stuff to save room. So I am not sure if it would have preserved anything or not.

[LAUNCHER] XBMC/Kodi for Fire TV (Root)

Life's been really crazy. Development computer is on it's last leg. XDA hasn't been sending me notifications for this thread. Lots of excuses.
I really don't have much time to be maintaining all this, and I do apologize to any of you I've inconvenienced. But I have put together a present for you guys. A Python script that will decompile an APK, modify its intent to act as a Launcher, then recompile the APK. No guarantees on this one, and things could blow up if intent strings don't match up in the future, but hopefully some find it helpful and carry on what I've been doing.
Requirements:
Windows PC
Python 3.x (tested with 3.5.1)
Java JRE (tested with 8u74)
A Kodi APK (tested with Kodi 16.0 ARM APK)
Download and unzip MakeKodiLauncher.zip
Put the desired Kodi APK in the extracted "in" folder
Run MakeKodiLauncher.py
When prompted, enter the full name (with extension) of the APK you placed
Let script decompile the APK and insert Launcher intent
(Optional) When the script pauses, make further modifications to APK source files in "temp" folder (ie. insert skins, addons, etc)
Let script recompile and sign the APK
Find newly signed APK in the "out" folder
I don't know if I'll ever get to updating my skin and addons, as I'm pretty set with staying on 15.2 myself and there is a lot of other great work out there. If anyone wants to fork my repo and make changes though, feel free.
----------------------------------------------------
Warning: A new update to the FTV has been pushed out (version 51.1.2.0), and is reported to be unrootable. If you haven't done so yet (and haven't received the update) I highly recommend disabling automatic updates.
If your device does get the update, XBMC should continue to work but will lose Launcher functionality.
I created a slightly modified package of XBMC/Kodi for the Fire TV that I've been using as the main launcher. I thought I'd share it with anyone interested.
Modifications:
Jarvis:
Set Android intent to run as Launcher
Helix & Isengard:
Set Android intent to run as Launcher
Included my XBMC addon repo. See description below. All other modifications that were built into my Gotham builds can be installed as needed from my repo.
Gotham:
Set Android intent to run as Launcher
Set XBMC on FireTV splash screen
Pre-configured Alternate keymap 3 (includes functionality for FF and RW buttons on the FTV controller)
Pre-set "Remote control sends keyboard presses"
Pre-set "Libstagefright" for video acceleration
Removed unnecessary built-in skin "Touched"
Included my "Confluence++" skin, set as default. See description below. (original Confluence skin is still included).
Included my "Android Power Options" screensaver. See description below. Now XBMC can automatically put the FTV to sleep!
Included my XBMC addon repo. See description below.
elmerohueso's XBMC addon repo:
Includes my "Confluence++" skin and "Android Power Options" screensaver, so that they can pull down updates automatically. The repo also includes some other addons that are simply shortcuts to open apps on the FTV, allowing them to be added to the Home screen on any skin. To access, go to System > Settings > Addons > Get Addons > elmerohueso's repo.
"Confluence++" skin:
My modified "Confluence" skin. Changelog/list of modifications.
"Android Power Options" screensaver:
This provides ability to automatically Sleep or Power Off rooted Android devices, along with the option to logoff your XBMC profile prior to sleeping. It includes a SU Permissions check in Settings so you can give XBMC persistent SuperUser permissions.. To enable, go to System > Settings > Appearance > Screensaver and select the "Android Power Options" screensaver. Make sure to check its Settings after selecting it.
For additional changes since the initial version, please see the addon changelog.
Note: I don't recommend having the screensaver power off the FTV as it has no power button. This ability is geared toward other Android devices.
Prequisites:
Root the FireTV
Install Xposed framework
Install rbox's Xposed module to allow alternate Home launchers
Important Notes:
This package is signed with One Click APK Signer, so it will have a different signature than official releases of XBMC. As such, you will need to uninstall any official XBMC releases first, and may lose any previous settings in XBMC. I recommend using the XBMC Backup addon in the official XBMC.org Repo to backup and restore your XBMC settings.
Make sure you actually enable rbox's Xposed module by ticking the checkbox in Xposed Installer's Modules section. This may require a mouse.

Hi
This works great, running the exact setup described here.
Just wondering how can I return to the firetv launcher if I ever need to?
in case xbmc failed or something, and I need to reinstall it.
or to run other .apk
Thanks

Thanks so much! I was about to return my Fire TV until I installed this. Now I might buy 1 or 2 more before they patch the root method.

I can send links to the TV with Chrome to phone.
Superbeam is great for fast file transfers from my phone.
ES File explorer I use as an FTP server so I can transfer from my PC.
I can use it like a Chromecast with BubbleUPNP
And most importantly the remote lets me do it all and the XBMC behaves perfectly.

The APK doesn't actually replace the KFTV Launcher on the system. You can access the KFTV Launcher, or any other app on the box, directly from XBMC by going to Programs > Android Apps.
If anything ever goes wrong and XBMC can't boot, you'll automatically go to the KFTV Launcher. That is due to how rbox's Xposed mod works; it looks for any installed app with a HOME intent (which my modified XBMC package has), and then falls back to the KFTV Launcher if it can't find one.

I use the exit option in XBMC in order to restart it.

To restart XBMC, or the box?
You can still kill XBMC by starting the KFTV Launcher under Android Apps and killing XBMC there.
To reboot the KFTV altogether, hold down Select and Play for 5 seconds.
Why do you need to restart XBMC if it's the launcher? Only scenario I can think of is if XBMC froze, but then you wouldn't be able to access the Exit button anyway.

It's often necessary to Exit or restart XBMC. Many add-ons require XBMC to restart to complete a function. Also, when checking/reading logs, refreshing Keymaps, etc.
I have found that being able to easily EXIT XBMC is crucial.

Since I use this as my always-on launcher, and already have it customized to the setup I want, I'm not exiting XBMC very frequently. In fact, the only time I do is to install a new XBMC build. But I do see where you're coming from. I've just found other ways around it.
I've found that most addons, keymaps, and other setting changes don't actually require you to fully exit XBMC, but just to logoff your XBMC profile and log back in (which will reload everything in your userdata folder). For logs and debugging I either pull the logs to my PC over SSH/SFTP/ADB, or use the Log Uploader addon. Both can be done with XBMC still running. For the few times I do want to fully reboot XBMC, I either access KFTV Launcher via Program > Android Apps and Force Stop XBMC in there, or I just reboot my FTV.
However, do keep in mind that my removal of the Exit feature only affects the Confluence skin itself. The feature has not been removed from XBMC. I may decide to re-package my modified Confluence skin rather than overwrite the original, though. I guess I could also create a Program addon to kill/restart XBMC, so it can still be done but is hidden away from kids. In the meantime, you could either try the workarounds I suggested or use another skin altogether.

Can't install

Since this build has a different signature than official releases of XBMC, you cannot install it over the top of official builds. You will need to uninstall the official XBMC releases first, and you may lose any previous settings in XBMC. I recommend using the XBMC Backup addon in the official XBMC.org Repo to backup your XBMC settings prior to uninstalling, the use it to restore the settings after installing my build.

I would love to use XBMC as the default launcher but the app crash every time when I access the android app menu.
Was wondering if anyone has encounter this before?

In XBMC? Change your skin to Confluence. If you don't like Confluence, favorite the apps you use a lot and find a skin that lets you put them on the main shelf/menu.

Thanks for uploading this I will check it out when I get a chance.
Do you think I can just restore everything that the XBMC Backup add-on saves, or should there be something excluded...

Everything should be fine. Just be aware that restoring old keymaps/settings will take precedence over the ones included, but you can clear out whatever you don't want afterwards.

@elmerohueso
Thanks mate, it looks really nice.
Rooting, installation and config worked without any issues.
How do I turn off KFTV from XBMC please?
The power option was removed, as stated in the first post.
Thanks.

XBMC never had an option to turn off the FTV. It only had an option to exit XBMC itself.
There's no real way to turn off the FTV other than unplugging it. The FTV does have a screensaver/sleep mode, but I haven't figured out how to call it from XBMC, yet. Fortunately, the FTV power draw is really, really low.
Average: ~4 watts
Peak: ~6 watts
Idle: ~2.5 watts
Power rates in my area range from 8 to 11 cents per kwH, so running at peak for 24 hours would still cost me less than 2 cents.

custom rom similar to Roku interface?
Any way to get a custom rom similar in interface to the Roku? Don't want to be forced into XBMC as the Fire TV Netflix is far better and the XBMC has a dreadful interface save for the great add ons.

XBMC is not a ROM, it's just an app (an in this case, it's acting as your Home launcher).
There are tons of skins available for XBMC. Get them from System > Settings > Appearance > Skin > Get More. I'd suggest reading about them in the XBMC wiki.
XBMC doesn't play Netflix. If you select use the Netflix shortcut in my repo, it will simply launch the FTV's existing Netflix app.

Now the only thing missing is to get the voice search to work in xbmc

With the release of Android Wear 2.0 beta 3, Google changed the way Wear apps are installed on devices.
So I designed this simple tool to extract the wear compatible apk from already build APK's and install it to wear device via adb.
So what this does is unpack full apk to temp directory on windows and sideload it via adb to the device.
Well is not much, but I felt a tool like this will make things easier to install old Android Wear 2.0 Beta2 and lower, apps to Beta 3 and above devices.
Credits:
7-zip (Igor Pavlov)
adb (Google I guess)
Changelog:
1.0.0.0 - initial release
1.0.0.1 - fixed issue extracting for APK's that have long names
1.0.0.2 - fixed custom apk install (Google Maps, Google Fit, etc)
1.0.0.3 - fixed installing upgrade APK (update app that is installed)
1.0.0.4 - embedded 7-zip and adb
- compressed resources to minimize exe file
- cleanup junk files when installer closes (housekeeping)
- cleanup code
1.0.0.5 - tried fixing adb install command in some cases
1.0.0.6 - change adb interface handler for better compatibility
1.0.0.7 - added option to choose adb device to install APK
1.0.0.8 - added command logger
1.0.0.9 - fixed x86 compatibility
1.1.0.0 - added batch mode (just point to a folder full of APK files)
- code cleanup
1.1.0.1 - fixed batch mode when no APK files are detected in folder

Great, but please, can you tell me how can I get .apk files?

Apkmirror
Google
Or I use Solid Explorer (navigate to Collections - Applications - User apps and copy app to sdcard then copy to PC to use it)

Thank you - I have .apk files now, but I can not run your Installer - "System Windows do not have access to device or file ... " ???

I testeded file extracted from Phone and downloaded from APK mirror - same result
Google Fit - Fitness Tracking 1.59.15-109 (640dpi)
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ss-tracking-1-59-15-109-android-apk-download/

ok so I released an update
should work with most standard apk's now
google fit is a bit different but I know a way to install it... will test out and release update as soon as it works properly

Super - Now works by many of apps - except of:
Google fit
Google maps
Google
Multi Calculator

and fixed google maps, fit, etc...
check it out

Brilliant tool, many thanks.

fast question - Should be watches rebooted to bootloader mode for apps installation, or not???

No, install with the watch charger connected to the computer.

Great - works excelent

updated to 1.0.0.3
fixed installing upgrade APK (update app that is installed)

Quick question, how do I get the apk to the tool kit? Where do I download these apks? (lg urban 2nd edition) Thanks in advance.

you can use external download site like APK Mirror or just Google it, but you can also download the APK from your phone to PC
I personally use the second method
so I use Solid Explorer, navigate to Collections -> Applications -> User apps
here I select all apps that are related to watch (ex: all watch faces, Google Maps, etc) and copy to SD card (you can use internal memory)
from there I move the APK files to PC and use the installer
hope it helps

Thank you for the link. Much appreciated and I will test this out as soon as i get the chance on my i5.

in my configuration it doesn't work. I have an asrock mainboard with an AMD 350e and uefi bios. the installation works fine but the uefi bios don't see any uefi operating system. if i run aTV after the installatione instead of reboot, it seems to start (two circles that move) but after that the screen goes black and it never starts.

I did exactly what you wrote, many times, but Bios don't see any operating system. Anyway, I managed to start aTV by installing grub through ubuntu and creating a new line for android. The kernel starts, I see some circles that move for a few seconds, after which the screen turns black and nothing happens. The same thing happens if at the end of the installation I choose "run android" instead of "reboot the system". With ctrl+alt+f1 I can enter in a shell, but I don't know what to do.
thanks for reply

^ This isn't real Windows To Go but it will write a USB with a bootable installation of Windows. The option is disabled by default and has to be enabled from Media Builder Settings if required. If enabled this option will be offered either after creating an image or when writing an existing one. There are no guarantees that this is stable but it might be useful if you want to test something without touching the local installation.
I have only tested this on a Surface 2 and cannot predict how or even if it will work on other devices, in the test I have done the installation was usable when installed to a USB 2 Western Digital 250GB conventional hard drive. If a drive with inadequate performance is used then at best the installation will take an hour or two or in the worst case the installation will fail. For Windows RT 8.1 this option requires a USB drive that reports as "fixed", it will not work on a "removable" device.
^^ Based on Microsoft instructions for manual removal of Office and it might not be perfect.

Download and extract the zip file then run Build.cmd as administrator. Once Build opens select your device by typing the number corresponding to your device and pressing enter. After that no interaction will be required for a while, it will download Windows RT 8.1 IR5 and the updates for Windows directly from Microsoft, integrate them, add drivers for your device and then produce a folder ready to be copied to USB for installation on your device. Optionally an ISO can be created for archival purposes, you will be prompted for this towards the end of the run.
On an old test box I've found the process to take around 50 minutes including download time. I've attached some pictures of it running start to finish in first post.

I have an error message
«*this application cannot run on you computer*»
«*To find applications for this pc, open windows store*»
Do you know what’s happen?

What are you running it on? This is run on a normal x86/x64 PC, the media prepared here can then be used on your RT device. It could be made to work on an RT device but I imagine it would be incredibly slow to produce the updated installation source.
EDIT: I have updated the download, it will show an error if you are running on an unsupported architecture.

Can I grab iso my language different than en-us?

Yes, you should just need to edit "\Download_Lists\Windows.txt" and replace the link with one of these.

It's not hidden as such (I haven't added the drivers) but I'm not sure how to safely approach Lumia 2520 yet, I will look into it at the weekend. Once certain updates are applied to Lumia 2520 they can't ever be jailbroken again whereas on Surface we can just format them or remove the jailbreak blocking updates.
I'm also not sure what the jailbreak situation is on other RT devices so I need to try and found out if any of them are in the same boat as the Lumia 2520 before adding driver packs for them all. I suspect its going to end up having two update lists, the full one used in the existing release and a jailbreak friendly one.
I will also try to add language selection to avoid having the manually change it.

Lenovo is easily jailbreaked like Surface.
It is good to have multilang.

Yea, I had a quick look and as I understand it all the Tegra devices can't be permanently blocked from being Jailbroken. It's just all the Qualcomm devices like the 2520 that are out of luck, these devices might get an alternative safe update list.

I've got to do a quick test wim build tonight but the language selection is done, picture attached.

I've updated the link, v1.3 will hopefully let you pick a language without editing anything. I have only tested this with Chinese, Dutch, English & French IR5 sources.
The optional Appx pack remains unchanged.

I will check it. Btw I do not get what to do with appx pack... Unpack it into appx folder?

It is seems working. Add lenovo drivers please. I can share it if any.

Yep, extract to Appx folder so it looks like the attached image and once the pack is present Build.cmd will ask if you want to update the Appx or not.

I will try to take a look tonight. Do you have an RT 8.1 recovery image for the device? I wonder how close they are to the Surface RT ones.

This one contains the Lenovo drivers, just a test for now because I don't have a Yoga 11 to test it on. Assuming this works please check device manager,check all drivers are present and let me know the result.
Download: EDIT: Main link updated to v1.4
Thanks to lgibson02 for the drivers and testing!

28/11/2020 - Windows_RT_8.1_IR5_Update_Kit_v1.5.zip
- Added UNTESTED support for ASUS VivoTab RT, Dell XPS 10, Nokia Lumia 2520 & Samsung Ativ Tab.
- Added Update List selection, choice of update lists - All Updates for Windows (Including "Jailbreak Killers"), Longhorn Jailbreak Safe & Myriachan Jailbreak Safe.

17/12/2020 - Windows_RT_8.1_IR5_Update_Kit_v1.6.zip
17/12/2020 - Windows_RT_8.1_IR5_Update_Kit_v1.6_Appx.zip
- Added three additional update modes (None, Service Stack Only & Service Stack and Update 3 Only).
- Added warning for languages that do not currently support App updates.
- Added warning if an unmodified IR5 image is going to be created.
- Removed Start Menu Update Discoverability notification if Update 3 is installed and Start Menu is enabled by default.
During testing I found that trying to update provisioned apps in Windows RT 8.1 IR5 for Saudi Arabia, Bulgaria, Germany, Croatia, Hungary, Russia and Slovakia results in the following error:
App packages (.appx) cannot be serviced on an offline image after a user has logged into the image.

I will try to find what causes this but for the moment these will be excluded from attempting app updates.
At this time I don't think there is going to be a solution for adding updates for Office 2013 RT offline.

hi I have installed all the windows update, everything perfect
I would like to know how to install the jailbreak and if you have to compile from the surface directly or from another pc.
thanks

Another thread might be best suited for jailbreak discussion but there are a few options. There are methods from Myriachan, Never_Released / black_bob and imbushuo.

Does myriachan jailbreak automatically with this program? What does it consist of? Should it be done? Can I put a newer browser? Thank you
