I love you Devs so much. I just got a Kindle today, but as I watched the video your Kindle shows up under Other Devices as if it didn't install the device driver. Mine is installed under portable devices. Can I just update that one or is there a debug mode for the Kindle that I'm missing?
Thanks for all you do!

LoL Nevermind I think I know why mine isn't there... I've already installed ADB from before. I shall continue on and see what happens :-D

I'm currently running Ubuntu 11.10(Without access to a windows computer to do so.) And after following the steps within the BurritoRoot I get error: insufficient permissions for device when entering adb root. I've rebooted my kindle and laptop as well as changed usb ports.
I've set it up so that it's acknowledged within /.android. Am I perhaps missing something sdk wise? The usb configuration install for extras within it says Linux isn't compatible. But any insight into this would be appreciated I'm not new to Android or adb for that matter. Things seem to be done differently for the Kindle is all.
Thanks guys.

I can not get ADB to recognize the device for the life of me.
I know I have the drivers installed the Fire is recognized as "android composite adb interface" under the Android Phone category in Device manager. But I can not get adb to see it.
"Adb kill-server"

and it shows no devices attached. Ive done a factory reset on the tablet just to see (knowing it wouldn't make a difference)

Thanks man, I knew I must have failed to do something. It's much appreciated.

Dis this last night and it worked fine. Thanks!
I did have a few minor stumbles though. It seems the newest version of the software changed the name of the superuser app but the guide still uses the old name in the install command. Once I realized this I just changed the name in the command and it went right in.
Also for some reason I couldn't select the text in the adb box on the web page so I had to enter the commands by hand. No big deal but I would have felt more secure if the commands were in simple text so I could have copy/paste them in.
Like I said though everything worked and I have the market installed now. Thanks for the hard work!

I'm having some trouble with mine...I am trying to follow the video instructions to the link but it shows downloading a .android folder and extracting it to my user name on desktop but there is no such link. I have downloaded SDK and installed google usb drivers as well. I have 6.2.1 firmware and downloaded kindleroot_androidpolice.apk and placed on my kindle and I also downloaded superuser-2. I am not able to install the driver to the fire either. I go to my computer, manage, device manager, kindle, update driver software, browse my computer, etc. I have no INF file to choose under my .android folder.
Any help would be appreciated

My sd card is showing up as unmounted and not sure how to remount it. I sent adb remount and it didn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

did you do install_drivers.bat first ?

You should get the same files from the android Sdi. Good luck.

Yes thank you. Moving it to the same as the run.bat seemed to have worked as it shows online now when running the Kindle Fire Utility. I switched it to fast boot but now seems to have been frozen at the kindle fire logo for quite some time now. I heard you have to switch to fastbook to install TWRP first before rooting?
I am not sure if I should attempt to somehow reboot this as it seems to be stuck at the boot up screen

wrong - switch back to normal boot and use the utility

Can files be pushed across the network from a PC to Fire TV using ADB?

I'd like to push some XBMC repository zips to my Fire TV without the hassle of installing ES File Explorer and pulling the zips from the pc.
Is this possible via ADB?
I've been using ADB to sideload apps.

After a bit more searching I found my answer.
It's quite simple.
If you're already accustomed to connecting to your FIre TV over ADB, to push a file to a directory on the Fire TV, the command syntax is as follows:
Code:
[INDENT][/INDENT][B]adb push <local pc path to file> <destination path on fire tv>[/B]
For example, I wanted to push an XBMC repository zip to the /sdcard/download folder on my fire TV for ease of installation from within XBMC.
The zip archive is named "repositories_installer.zip" and it exists in the following directory on my PC: C:\Android\FireTV\
To do so, my command was:
Code:
[INDENT][/INDENT][B]adb push C:\Android\FireTV\repositories_installer.zip /sdcard/Download[/B]

don't forget you need to do:
Code:
adb connect fire_tv_IP_address
beforehand.

You can push xbmc xml for control remap like that, also you can use "adb pull" command instead of push to retrieve files from it.

I also noticed sometimes I cannot connect like this if I am in an app like XBMC. I must close the app before it will connect. Not sure why, just mentioning in case this scenario applies to anyone.

just a tip, i was able to sideload apps directly from my phone to the ftv, using android terminal emulator app, so probable file push should work.

If your goal was to install XBMC repos, why not just put the files on a SMB/NFS share and access from within XBMC?

How about deleting .zip from sdcard? after i push the zip to sdcard/download, I installed repo or any zip done with the file, how can i deleted it afterwards?

Slingplayer for Fire TV apk..can anyone install it and do an adb pull for me?

I want to test it on the nexus player bu do not have a fire tv stick to pull it from myself. I already got it from the app store...now all i need is the apk.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out!

What's the cmd line for pulling apk?

Well if you already have adb setup then you would need to first connect to the fire tv via wireless adb. I think its
"adb connect {192.168.X.XXX)" for the fire tv
then we need to find where the apk is installed on the device so:
"adb shell pm list packages" to get the full name of the package then:
"adb shell pm path com.example.someapp" To get the path of the file
It should be in the /data/app/ folder so the path would be:
"/data/app/com.example.someapp.apk"
Then the command would be:
"adb pull /data/app/com.example.someapp.apk"
It will dump the app onto your computer wherever you have adb installed
If you can get it working please let me know and upload the file here. I'm sure im not the only one that could benefit!
Thanks

You can use EsExplorer to back up the apk then transfer it elsewhere.
I installed the app but found it only supported the newer units and not my old Slingbox AV do I uninstalled it.

[Q] Problem sideloading kodi.tv

I am having issues. The first time I tried this I thought it was a success as I went through the steps and got the loading screen on the fire tv to come up. I waited for about 10 minutes and then the firetv reset but Kodi did not install.
Now I am trying to do it and when I hit enter after the string to sideload the .apk nothing happens. I get no response in the terminal and it just goes to the next line. I cannot figure this out for the life of me.
I am using terminal on a mac. This method http://sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-mac/
please help.

Try the additional "-r" option during install ('-r' means reinstall the app, keeping its data).
For e.g.:
Code:
adb install -r kodi.apk

No. The option "-r" must be used before the complete path to the APK file. Have a look:

I haven't used that because I am running into all kinds of issues. First I got the "Can't create log file" error. I googled that and see that I need to drag the app onto the desktop or into the applications folder. The problem is when I try to move it I get another error message "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items". I feel like such a newb with this Mac. I have no clue how to troubleshoot.
any help?

Any chance you have a Windows PC connected to your network that you can try? I did this (http://sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-windows/) and had no issues.
If you can get ES File Explorer onto the FireTV, then you can go to Network/Cloud and add an account, connected it to a Dropbox account, then just download apks and open them from ES File Explorer, you won't need the PC or adb any more.

Can you even connect to the aTV?
Try some ADB commands to see if ADB does really work:
Code:
adb devices
This should list all via ADB connected devices. If the list is empty you´re not connected.
When your device is connected try some basic shell commands:
Code:
adb shell
This opens a bash shell. Within this shell type
Code:
ls
and the directory content of the actual folder should be listed.
ADB shell can be left with:
Code:
exit
If this isn´t working, check your ADB version you have installed and try to install a newer/other one. I had such an issue once on Windows with an Android tablet which couldn´t be connected with the ADB version I had already installed on my PC so I took another ADB version and it worked. Of course this shouldn´t be but it seems that this can happen.
Another hint might be your problems regarding adbfire. Perhaps your user restrictions prevent ADB from proper working. I´m not firm on MAC´s but I think they support the "sudo" command (explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo). So try your ADB commands again with an additional sudo before similiar like this:
Code:
sudo adb install kodi.apk

I can't figure this out - I am following this (http://sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-mac/) perfectly and I got it to work the first time but it just didn't complete it for some reason and now every time when I hit enter on the last step nothing happens.
I can't use the adbfire app because of the other issue.
WTF? why isn't the method through terminal working?

I don't know...on mac you need to use ./ unless you configure it otherwise so to connect I'd type ./adb connect myipaddress
If you are connecting then you have adb working. I use adbfire but here's what I'd do...
I like keeping my adb folder with platform tools on my desktop. Put the apk you want to install in that folder
type "cd" <space> then drag the whole folder into the terminal--hit enter
now type ./adb connect youripaddress--hit enter
if it says connected type ./adb install<space>then drag the apk from inside your adb folder right into the terminal--hit enter
If you did it right nothing will happen instantly. It depends on how fast your connection is. Wait up to 5 minutes I'd say and you'll either get a success message of an error. If it's the latter, post it here.

Did you read my previous topic and tried what I´ve written?
Forget this Howto since it is just a general guideline and it can´t help you with your actual problem since it is more or less a first time installation guideline but you have already had a previous installation which makes the difference. It can also not deal with restrictions on your system side for e.g. if ADB wouldnt´be allowed to access USB.
If you´re sure that your system is not restricted anyway and ADB should work and if you still prefer to work only with this guideline do a factory reset within your FireTV. This should set the box in a state back again where this guideline should work how it is intended.
Or try SPMC from Amazon App Store which would be the easiest way:

Run a BAT File on Firestick?

Is it possible to run a Batch File on a Firestick? Trying to help people set their firesticks up and, I have written a Batch file using ADB that works well loading programs onto a firestick and installing them. That only works if someone is on my local network though. If I push all of the files to someone including the batch file, would you be able to run the batch file on a firestick?

i have a firestick that i need setup and was going to do it over this weekend, if you can send me the stuff i can test

Batch files are for Windows only.
The easiest way to do this would be to put all your apks into a folder, along with the adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, and your batch file.
Have them enable ADB on their stick, and give them the folder. Here's an example of a batch file that would make it dead simple:
Code:
@echo off
set /p ip="Enter Fire TV IP: "
adb connect %ip%
adb install apks\example.apk
<other code here>
adb disconnect
This would be the example file tree:
Code:
| adb.exe
| AdbWinApi.dll
| example.bat
|
\---apks
example.apk
Then give this folder to the person

Are we able to use ADB commands on a shell script on a firestick? Looking at a gethub .sh file for use on firesticks it looks like they are?
For simplicity sake here is a scaled down version of the goal. I want to put kodi.apk and terrarium.apk onto their firestick for them. I want to be able to connect via teamviewer and push a folder over that contains:
kodi.apk
terrarium.apk
a shell file
The goal is that either the shell file is triggered somehow or the person with the firestick in front of them runs it and it does the equivalent of what I can do from my computer with the batch file using:
adb install "kodi.apk"
adb install "terrarium.apk"
I tried googling shell script on a firestick and didnt have any luck besides finding the github of a firestick loader that i searched through.

You don't need adb for that, I'll write you a script example later...
By the way, you could also execute adb commands if you reinstalled adb before (Amazon deliberately removed this). Do you have root rights on the sticks?

ok, here is the example, that you can customize.

You have to save the sh file in Unix format (linefeed as line ends). The easiest way is to save it in Notepad++ as a Unix script file.

I tried saving as .sh and also as .bash . The firestick gave the message that there is no program to run it. How can I make this runnable on a firestick

Code:
sh file.sh
or
Code:
chmod 755 file.sh
to make the text file executable, and then run
Code:
./file.sh
Google isn't your friend, is it?

I did try to google but didnt google the correct thing apparently I tried Googling "how to run Unix File on Firestick" and a few variations of it with no luck. I appreciate all of your help though for sure!
Trying to figure out where to run this on the firestick, after googling it, it seems like I need to get to a command code somehow to run this? I was hoping it was executable. Can I make it executable on my computer and then when I push it to the firestick just click on it and it runs?

You cannot shortcut a sh file to the Fire TV gui!
Use View attachment Terminal-Emulator-1.0.70.apk to manually execute a sh file.
If you want to start it by pressing a button I can recommend Terminal Shortcut, only this version View attachment Terminal-Shortcut-Pro-4.11_MOD.apk still works with the Fire Remote. Here you can include scripts accordingly. I have modified the version so that it cannot be updated by a newer one
