[Q] Side Loading Kodi on Fire TV - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is somebody able to help me out with side loading Kodi?
I've done a few Fire TV's and have been using the tweeking4all method, could not post link as I'm new to this forum.
But with the recent ones I've done when I use ikonoTV it doesnt boot into Kodi, it boots into ikonoTV. I'm assuming they have done something with this app that prevents it from booting Kodi.
Does anybody have a fix for this? or an alternate way?
Thank You

Download kodi apk, install using adb fire on pc or agkfire from android phone

Make a note of your fire tv ip address from the settings about menu
On pc open the folder you have adb in - if you don't have adb you can either install the Android sdk or Google for just adb
Hold shift then right click on any empty space within the folder window
Select open a command prompt here
Type in
Adb connect ipaddressOfFireTv
Now type
Adb install nameofapk
To make it easy just type adb install then drag your apk into the command prompt window and it will auto fill it's location
Wait until it completes
To open app on fire
Goto settings - app - manage apps - select app - launch
Or
Install the full amazon app store and it will listed in the main app window
You can also use apps & pc tools for fire tv to do it for you - see playstore and app section in xda fire tv

Thanks! I will give it a try tonight, appreciate the help.

Help! Bricked my Kindle Fire

I attempted to root my Kindle Fire (which was running 6.2.2) using the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.5. KFU appeared to run successfully and my Kindle was fine (started up OK). But, when I ran Root Check Pro, it showed KFU didn't succeed with rooting. I thought maybe KFU was unsuccessful because KFU v0.9.5 works on Fire firmware 6.3 and up (and not on 6.2.2).
Then, I tried to update the Fire firmware to 6.3.1 from the Amazon site, thinking I'd run KFU v0.9.5 again after the firmware update. I didn't think to uninstall any of the KFU installed rooting software (like superuser or TWRP) before trying the update because the root was unsuccessful.
My Fire started the update but stopped almost immediately and got stuck at the TWRP yellow-triangle logo. Also, my laptop (running Window 7) won't recognize the Fire when I plug it in with a USB cable.
When I set my laptop Device Manager to show hidden devices, "Android Phone" appears as a device. When I expand it, I see "Android ABD Interface". The Android Phone device displays for a few seconds and then disappears. If I shutdown my Kindle Fire and power it on again, the device manager does the same thing.
[FYI - I successfully rooted another Fire (though it was running 6.3) using KFU v9.0.5 on this same laptop so the Kindle Fire drivers for Windows were installed.]
Because of this behavior, none of the unbricking, KFU, or ABD utilities/commands are getting through to the my Fire. The Kindle Fire Unbricking utility, for example, will start but almost immediatley close the Windows Command window.
I don't know what to do when your laptop won't recoginize the Fire as a connected device. Is there any thing else I can try? I'd appreciate any help with this I can get!!
Go here
...and download FFF1.4
Mount your sdcard in recovery and transfer the FFF1.4.zip from your computer. Install FFF1.4 in recovery (no wipe) and reboot.
As soon as you see the Blue kindle fire logo, hold the power button until you see options show up on the bottom. Use the power button to scroll through the options and select "Normal Boot"
If you get things working and decide you want to root again I would highly suggest side loading the superuser.apk. Root Check Pro might have discovered no root because the su.apk was missing (just a thought). This is an issue with KFU. I've rooted 4 kindles and not once has it installed the su.apk.
I also had to side load superuser and Google Play. Here is a great link on this forum to help with that:

Soupmagnet - thanks so much for the reply!
One question >> how do I 'mount the SD card in recovery'?
Long press on the Fire power button does nothing - doesn't launch TWRP in recovery mode. Entering commands in a Command window from my laptop isn't getting through to my Fire. And, as I mention above, the Kindle Fire device won't stay available in my laptop Device Manager for more than a split second.

This is a tricky situation because you need to replace your device drivers, but you can't replace your drivers if you don't have access to them. I haven't come across a situation like this before last night so I wouldn't know how to fix your device manager issues.
You could however, try a different computer (easiest), OR create a bootable Linux LiveUSB thumb drive to boot from your laptop and set up the environment for issuing adb/fastboot commands. IMO, that would probably be the best route considering Linux's overall stability but it would definitely be the trickiest.
There are tutorials here for setting up Linux to use adb and fastboot and I'll add them as soon as I find them.
Setting Linux up for adb and fastboot can be tricky but there are plenty of Linux users here that can help with that.
Once you get everything set up, (re)install TWRP and continue wth the previously posted tutorial.
[Edit:] Actually, I have a better idea if you're using the LiveUSB and you wouldn't need to set up adb and fastboot.
Thanks for a great summary! Unfortunately even after sideloading superuser.apk, I still have read-only rights on / and the system directories under it that (would) allow me to copy over vending.apk. Yes, I am superuser when I try.
I have no problems becoming superuser, and OTA Rootkeeper works to switch back and forth.
The three things that do not work are write access to /system/app in order to switch out vendor.apk, mounting a drive as read/write, and from my PC am unable to use the adb remount command. All see outcomes of the same permissions issues.
Anyone seen this, and found the cause?
Thanks.

Really needs to be in Q+A not dev.....
Try this;
Download the Android SDK and unzip it and copy the 'adt-bundle-windows' folder to your documents folder
Navigate to Documents/adt-bundle-windows/sdk/tools and run the android app - this opens the android SDK manager.
Go to tools - Manage-addon-sites and select the User defined Sites tab. Click new and add the following url
http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml
Hit OK and close
Now scroll to the bottom on the SDK manager and under extras will be 2 kindle fire options 'kindle fire device definitions' and 'kindle fire USB driver' select both and install.
Now close the SDK manager.
If you have previously used your kindle on your PC, plug it in and go to device manager and un-install the drivers for it - now unplug it.
Navigate to \Documents\adt-bundle-windows\sdk\extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver and install the kindle USB drivers
Now add the location of the ADB.exe file to your path
You should now be able to plug in your kindle and execute adb devices and see your kindle - that means your good to go.

I downloaded the SDK and it didn't have a 'adt bundle' in the contents but i ran sdk manager and I had already added the link you mentioned and I also had already added the extras you mentioned earlier from a article I read and Nothing so I stumbled across this article and it had a few extra steps so I thought to give it a try only problem is, When I go to my device manager to uninstall the kindle drivers i don't have that option to uninstall a 'kindle' driver rite below it there's a android adb interface and i have the option there to uninstall but before I did so I wanted to post here what's going on with me. I wonder if it worked for the person who started the post?

Worked perfectly and allowed me to root using the other guide in the forum.
Posted using my Kindle Fire 2.
Are you using the adb from the latest sdk?
I couldn't get adb to recognise my kf2 until I used the latest adb.exe
I rooted my both kindle´s before a week.
no idea why the other driver did not work.
The Driver from http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml work perfectly.
I had this same issue until I updated the driver with the latest. I don't have it in front of me, but when I looked at it, it's dated approx Dec 8th 2012 in Device Manager. Update the driver to the latest and you should be good to go.
know that if you install the drivers after connect your kindle it can mess it up, if you go into device manager and uninstall the drivers after you've disconnected you're kindle and install them then reconnect it, it should work.
I think I know what's wrong...Your using windowzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Powerpoint is so right here, If you use any linux distribution, it's going to be much easier to get your kindle connected to adb.
Do we even have a q&a or general section for this device? Bought, rooted and turned into a tablet today

That must have been my problem. I ended up moving to my Xubuntu machine to get it to work. I think my adb was from November,

Good luck!
This probly isnt the right place for this but I have been to so many areas and so many websites that I am crosseyed now. I managed to root my kindle the other day and was attempting to install a mod on it. At this point I cant even remember which site I was on to share the steps I took. Needless to say, I messed up and now the kindle boots to to the logo for a few seconds, shuts off and boots back to the logo, over and over. I'm not very good at all this but not completely stupid either. I'm simply ready to pull my hair out. I have installed Android SDK and am having trouble getting the correct drivers for my kindle apparently. Its a kindle fire hd 2012. I went through all the trouble of installing the sdk and got to the part with the addons and manually putting in the amazon site, only to read on and discover its no longer supported so I can not get the different kindle fire definitions. In my device manager, it shows kindle fire and expanded shows Android ADB Interface (no composite.. does it matter?). I have verified that abd is installed and working, but doing a devices command, doesnt show any devices. It executes without errors, just doesnt list anything. I have a fastboot cable and it does currently say Fastboot on the kindle when I plug it in.. thats all it says tho, is it supposed to go any further then those words?
I have tried so many suggestions on here to get it to see my kindle to no avail. I follow tutorials, that seem to link to other tutorials because the previous ones had prerequisites and THOSE have links for downloads that no longer work and so I do a side load of a webpage trying to find the missing download I need and THOSE pages end up leading me somewhere else or going a different route then the previous tutorial took me and I just CAN'T get anywhere with this! It shouldnt be this hard (and I'm venting at this point so I apologize). Does anyone have an UPDATED (2018) tutorial for getting my kindle back to where it will boot up... assuming my computer will ever see it (windows 7 btw). Thanks in advance.

Are you typing the full path, where XBMC is located? I normally just drag and drop the file in to the terminal after adb install. For example adb install '/home/fatfarley/Downloads/xbmc-13.1-Gotham-armeabi-v7a.apk'
Amazon FireTV Side App Installer
Try using the Amazon FireTV Side App Installer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736774) as it gives everything you need to install XBMC and all the goodies.
EDIT: Be sure to place your version of XBMC apk in the XBMC folder within FTV.
1) Turn on USB Debugging in settings, check the IP of the device as well
2) Install ADB on your PC
3) Go on to CMD and enter the path that leads to ADB (usually in *\android\sdk\program-tools)
4) Enter "ADB connect <insert IP of your fire tv>
5) after it connects, enter "ADB install xbmc.apk
6) then afterwards go back to settings > applications and bam its there

I tried ADBFire and I tried sideloading the app and I got a green progress bar down on the bottom and I waited until it finished, but then it started all over again and the app was never there. Very lost on this. I was using the standalone adb by the way.
This worked perfect for me with two Sticks and yesterday with a FireTV box using a Windows 7 PC: http://sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-windows/

I tried that same exact thing with no luck. I might try factory resetting and doing it again. If anybody else has any other suggestions please let me know!
Do you have an Android phone or tablet? You can push apps from it to the FireTV: http://www.howtogeek.com/216386/how...s-onto-your-amazon-fire-tv-and-fire-tv-stick/
I installed ES File Explorer first, then connected it to my Dropbox account, I basically have a folder of everything I want on a FireTV in Dropbox so it's easy to copy everything at once.
Tried factory resetting, logged into my Amazon account. Waited for it to finish, went onto ADB and connected succesfully, tried sending file and I get the dreaded "Error: closed". SO frustrated! I just want to sideload some apps people! Will post a picture when I reach 10 posts. In the meantime imgur .com/fWa6agp just remove the space between imgur and .com

FYI, I don't know anything about the "adb sideload" command, I have used the "adb install" command. My method:
1. Download an apk to my Downloads folder
2. Open my Downloads folder
3. Open a command window
4. Use "adb connect" to the FireTV ip address
5. Type "adb install Downloads\appname.apk" and return
Also, the "appname.apk" filename cannot have any spaces in it.

Hi, I got the steps below from a post made by hijax2001. I modified the steps somewhat to cover the problem you are having. I don't know if they will work, but you can try them if you like.
1) Put update-fire-phone-35.4.6.3_user_463001420.bin in your ADB folder.
2) On your computer go to Device Manager and delete any SD4930UR and or Unknown device that appear when you plug your phone into the computer. Unplug your phone from the computer. Skip steps 3 and 4 if you see "Kindle Fire> Android Composite ADB Interface" when you plug in your phone into the computer.
3) If you need the Kindle Fire ADB drivers then download and install the Kindle Fire ADB drivers on your computer from here: Kindle Fire ADB drivers
4) Plug your phone back into the computer. The drivers for the phone should be installed and you should see "Kindle Fire> Android Composite ADB Interface" in Device Manager. Move on to the next step even if the drivers are not installed.
5) Power off the phone. Turn the phone back on by pressing and holding the Power and Volume Up buttons until the Fire System Recovery screen appear.
6) Use volume down to reach "Apply update from ADB" option, then press Power to select the option.
7) From ADB type ADB devices. If you see what looks like a serial number (letters and numbers), then ADB is seeing your phone and you can skip to Step 9. If nothing there, follow Step 8.
8) If ADB doesn't detect your phone go to Device Manager and right click SD4930UR or the device (Unknown device) that shows up when you plug your phone into the computer. Select Update Driver Software> Browse my computer for driver software> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer> Kindle Fire> Next> Android Composite ADB interface> Next> Yes> Close>. Go back to ADB and type ADB devices. ADB should now detect your phone.
9) Type the command ADB sideload update-fire-phone-35.4.6.3_user_463001420.bin (Note: you can copy and paste the filename). When the phone display "install from adb complete", press the power button to select "reboot system now". The phone should update to Fire OS 4.6.3.
