Hello Everybody,
I recently bought two Fire TV sticks from Staples the other day. I blocked amazon updates from my router using the tutorial from aftvnews, enabled ADB Debugging Mode on the stick, and attempted to install the TVMC apk using ADBFire (Windows 7, running as Admin).
The first Fire TV Stick I attempted worked flawlessly, I was able to install and run TVMC in a matter of minutes.
The second stick, however, would go on a continuous installation loop on ADBFire (Green status bar would reach 100% then repeat and not show Installation complete dialog box). I tried factory resetting the stick and reinstalling, but that didn't work. I also tried using a different router to install, but the same problem occurs. Another method I tried stopping the installation and then reinstalling, ADBFire would then display the installation complete dialog box, but the app is would not be listed or displayed under Settings > Applications > Manage applications. I tried Disconnecting/Restarting the device, but the app would not appear. I've installed the Crackle app from the App store to see if it would appear under Manage applications and it did, but TVMC was still not showing up. TVMC appears in the uninstall apk menu of ADBFire, so I uninstalled/reinstalled and it still does not show up on the stick.
Both sticks were installed using the same TV and USB cable plugged into a electrical outlet
Any help would be appreciated.
I had the same issue

I had the same issue (installed TVMC on one fire stick and would not install on the second). I unplugged the first stick after TVMC was installed, then re-booted the second stick using ADBFire. After that the install went off with no issues.
Thanks for the tip, rebooting after initial setup fixed the issue.

When trying to backup xbmc adbfire disconnects constantly during the process and it takes a few tries before I can get it to stay connected and finish the entire backup process. Does anyone else experience this.
I'm having a big issue trying to connect to my new out of the box firestick over my wifi.
I've tried using the amazonfirestick utility and adbfire v1.14 and v1.22.
nothing works. always says cant connect.
I've turned off the firewall on my laptop, turned off UAC, turned off microsoft security essentials, and tried opening the programs as an administrator.
I'm running win7 home premium 64bit. I've got the debugging and 3rd party software buttons turned on the firestick. everything says it "should" connect but it wont. is this a common issue? I have no clue how to get it to connect.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Forget all that brother.
Install agk fire on your android phone, then install es file explorer. Open agk and install es file explorer onto your fire stick. Open file explorer on both the stick and phone, which will opens a connection to sharing files and apks between the devices. Install whatever you want!
Hi this is my first post in the forum,
I'd been using FireTV with XBMX 13.2 for a while. I rooted it and had a good config with Llama that made the device to boot directly to XBMC.
I have tried to upgrade to Kodi with ADB Install (Not using -r). From the Android Applications I could start Kodi fine but wanted to have it boot to kodi directly so I did a ADB uninstall org.xbmc.xbmc. from my pc After that FireTV got hanged when rebooted on the Amazon FireTV screen and could not get in anymore as it stopped to be visible on the network(Can´t ping).
Is there any workaround/solution to this situation?
I read in other site that I should plug a usb keyboard to solve it is this the only way? In that case I will have to find one as I mine is PS2.
Thanks a lot.
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?
