Hi There!
I have an original FireTV unrooted or modified in any way. I'd like to run the ITV App, but I can't see how to load it or where to get it from?
Assistance greatly appreciated.
Log on to Amazon.com. Create a UK address. Go to your account --- Manage your account and devices --- Settings --- Change the country to UK.
Go to http://www.amazon.com/ITV-Player/dp/B00PH7XGQG to get ITV player.
In your Fire TV go to settings--- your account and click on sync account. You will be able to see ITV Player.
Is it not possible to find the APK independently, put it in dropbox and then download it onto the Tablet?
Yeah that can be done too. There are many sites which give you apk when you enter the play store URL of the app. You can google search them.
There is a thread on XDA, but this site has a slightly older version: http://www.uktvapps.com/download-itv-player-apk-android-app-outside-uk

Hello
Anyone having trouble installing Netflix on a rooted US AFTV from an Amazon.co.uk account? It downloads just fine but then says "Install failed" without much more info.
I can install the Netflix app from the US store (using the geo restriction guide on aftvnews), but that is the old Netflix v1 client. The one on the UK store looks like the newer v3 client.
Anyone else having this issue? All other apps downloaded from the UK store work fine. Could just be launch day teething problems (I hope) and not some sort of restriction with the app.
I have the latest rooted 51.1.3.0_user_513011820 firmware by the way.
Cheers
exactly the same for myself, all apps install no problem but netflix fails
How annoying.
Stil not working today, so I suspect it's a firmware restriction so hopefully the US boxes will get the new firmware soon.
Can I confirm from anyone who has Netflix (with the white icon) from the UK store working if it's actually the new client or the old one? Screenshots show the new client, but the version number in the description says v1.0.1 which is the same as the US app - and it's 1/2 the file size on the UK store.

The very same issue for me.
I noticed in the logs, the following message comes up:
Code:
W/PackageParser( 6797): /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/files/apks/65165767-ffeb-4dc8-a422-fa4683554601.apk (at Binary XML file line #27): Requires newer sdk version #19 (current version is #17)
I guess the issue is that the firmware won't update to 51.1.4.0_user_514006420, which by the looks of it is required for the Netflix app.
I've been trying to find a way to install the new firmware manually, but no dice. Can't find a download link for the file and even if I could, I guess I'd have to be rooted (I'm not) to force it.
Ah, that'll be it. That's for pointing it out.
We'll just have to wait I guess for this firmware to roll out to other regions, which most likely it will. In any case, it's still not clear if it's the new client or not so actually there may be no advantage over the US app at this stage.
Any able to successfully install the new Suite of Fire TV BBC Apps Released for UK Residents but on a Canadian or US located device or is there APK I can side load? I tried the steps per ATVNews site but no luck!
Did you ever get this working?

yes it works. get the apps through the guide on aftv and then use unlocator.
I have no access to Amazon USA app store for the slingtv app, and had tried side loading play store version, however I always get the google play services error when trying to install. If someone could extract and upload the amazon apk version, would really appreciate it. https://www.amazon.com/Sling-TV-LLC/dp/B00ODC5N80 EDIT: found a solution, just download armeabi-v7a version will work on firestick
Hello everyone,
I have bought a tv called AKAI aktv4650j which has a custom android 9 firmware. While i was trying to change home screen, i eventually had to restore the original firmware. Unfortunately, i discovered that the original firmware does not have google play store or google play services. I have tried to sideload them, but the app is not shown in the dashboard, and if i try to launch it from settings, it works but doesn't let me sign in with google.
I eventually found another firmware for a different tv that has the same motherboard (Mediatek M7332_EU) and i flashed it on my tv. Its home screen is much nicer, it has miracast and apple play, an app to use the phone as a remote controller, and it has google play services and google play store. The only problems are that there is not the italian language and the original remote does not work.
So i was wondering if anyone could explain how to extract the italian language and remote control config from the first firmware and insert them in the second one.
This is my original firmware:
Original Firmware Folder
and this is the Turkish firmware i found:
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1TNq91duEnXrfUpzjH0DMr9Ln_XQwkUiH
Also, i would like to extract the original boot logo (AKAI) and root the firmware, if it is possible.
thank you in advance!

Hello to all,
I bought a TV called AKAI aktv4650j which has custom Android 9 firmware. While I was trying to change the splash screen, I finally had to revert to the original firmware. Unfortunately, I found that the original firmware doesn't have Google Play Store or Google Play Services. I tried to load them sideways, but the app is not showing in the dashboard and if I try to launch it from the settings, it works but it doesn't let me log in with google.

You have to install it from the recovery, in the section "install update from zip"

What's your exact tv model?
Its model is 50p8s, but its hardware and software are different from the original tcl TVs, in fact, it is only available in Iran under tcl license.

Hi,
I am desperatly looking for the new Discovery + APK for the Fire Stick 4k. I used to use the old version, 1.2 or so, but the app demands an update to function. The experiment with the android TV version was not successful, as the google play services are required. Can anyone with an US Amazon App store help me out here?
At the same time, i am looking for the HULU APK, anyone got the newest one from the Amazon app store?
Thank you very much!
Edit:
Managed to get them myself. I dug up an old stick, made a new amazon account in the US and installed the apps i was looking for.
With my computer, i connected over adb and pulled the apks from it. Works fine for me now.
If anyone is looking for them as well, let me know...
Hello, I desperately need the Discovery+ APK , if you can upload that somewhere I'd be really grateful

Hi, Attached the APK.
There are some initial issues with permissions, but as soon as you managed to log in, they are solved.
