ABDFire looping?? - Fire TV Themes and Apps

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?

[Q] Fire TV Stick Will Not Install TVMC Using ADBFire

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.
easy fix tvmc
If your on virgin media log into your account and turn off web safe.. then tvmc will install.. virgin is blocking it.. yours maki
ADB says Stopped. I cannot restart the server; please help!!!

[Q] FireTV XBMC to Kodi upgrade went wrong -did I brick device?

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(CanĀ“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.

[Q] ADBfire keeps reloading Kodi and TVMC apk files

Fire Stick Stuck on Boot screen

Alright So i rooted my fire tv stick v5.0.5, with kingroot 4.82, everything was working perfect, i blocked ota updates, and i froze the fireTV Home, and used firestarter. I rebooted the fire tv and it rebooted perfect, still had root, everything was great! I wanted to connect my playstation controller to it, but i couldnt access the fire tv settings because i froze the fire tv home and the built in settings is part of the fire tv home, i tried to install regular settings.apk, i tried several different ones but it would just fail installing, i thought my regular settings was interfering with it, so i backed it up and froze the fire tv settings just to try to install regular android settings afterward, and i rebooted the stick. Now my stick is stuck at the fire stick logo and wont boot, im sure its because i froze the settings, since it booted fine with root before i froze that, and that was the only change i did. Anyone got any ideas on how i can fix it?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

I had the same issue with the FireTv Stick but another os.
I had a hardware rooted FireTv-Stick on Software: 54.1.1.0_user_110031420. That means FireOS 3, not FireOS 5.
Yesterday I let the stick push some file with ES-File-Explorer to my NAS. In this process the system restart (I think because to much power consumption and less powerfull usb port yesterday).
Now it does not start anymore. @deershoot3r
Perhaps we had a chance to get our sticks back by flashing a stock-rom from amazon.
Once I read something about fastboot and recovery possibilities.
At first you should load your stock-rom from here: http://www.aftvnews.com/software/
Perhaps we can connect a usb cable and start fastboot, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57308281&postcount=6

fastboot kicks in as soon as you power off your unit, if you get to the amazon logo it is already too late however fastboot will not work for you anyway as your firestick boot loader is locked.
Please push my amazon community topic:

Perhaps amazon help us and provide a solution!
But I need you guys!

Fire TV Gen 1 Stuck on Optimizing system storage and applications..

Fire tv has been working great since i got it a few years ago. Over the weekend i got this message - Optimizing system storage and applications.
Sits at this screen even if i reboot it.
Called amazon but they didnt help at all.
Anyone had this issue or got a fix?
No custom ROM, just stock.
Can i force a restore with a USB pen ADB?
Thanks
I've the first problem here! It's the FireTV 1st Gen form 2014. I don't want to buy a new one because of Passtrough problems with Denon and Kodi.
I've testet my Logitech Multimedia Keyboard to get into Recovery but it there is nothing happen...Only Amazon brand and the picture with "Optimizing system storage and applications..." Beside of Kodi i didn't modified the FireTV.
i had this happen as well but was able to boot into recovery to delete cache, data and everything else. after that it worked fine. the best bet for an unrooted aftv is probably this procedure :

Thanks for your help. I tried to get into recovery with a Keyboard. I took a Logitech Corded Multimedia Keyboard but I can't get into recovery mode with Alt+Print+l
I repeated it severeal times. On my keyboards aren't any LED lighted so i don't know if the FTV realize that a Keyboard is connected. Is there any other way?
I testet a A-A USB Cable to connect with my PC but i find no device with fastboot.
Hi, I am having exactly the same problems as Ottacon. Fire TV 1 with stock - non rooted, stuck at boot 'optimizing......'
Keyboard Alt+print+i trick doesn't work, as no lights on keyboard, as if no power from usb.
Any way out of this or is it a brick forever?
Any help much appreciated.
