ADBFire restore fail, incompatibility error? - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So I have a working Fire Stick which is running Kodi 15.2. It works great.
I bought a new Fire Stick while they where on offer. I want to restore this new stick using a Backup from the already Kodi installed stick.
I have downloaded ADBFire version 2.01. I connected the working stick using wifi and created a Backup onto my Desktop.
When I connected the new stick I enabled ADB debugging and Unknown apps. Took a note of the IP address.
When i tried to do the restore initially it failed because there was no Kodi installed. So I downloaded the APK for Kodi 15.2 ARM - x86.
I installed Kodi via APK install onto new stick, then I continued with the restore using the Backup I created from the working stick. Once it was complete I tried to launch Kodi. I got an error saying there was a compatibility error.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

xbmc problems with genesis and other video streaming

hi guys i recently got my gf an amazon fire tv now the device isnt rooted but i managed to get spmc installed fine
the plugin itself loads fine but other plugins such as genesis and mashup have real issues 1 issue is that genesis opens up but once i click movies and then go to click 1 of the categories it says loading and just as quick then stops loading at stays at the same menu i was at
i use xbmc on many devices and never had any issues was wondering if anyone could help me solve it or better yet upload there xbmc data so i could restore it to mine using the amazon fire utility app any help would be great thanks
Make sure you are using the new URL: http://fusion.tvaddons.ag
Lambda just updated Genesis to version 3.1.0. It is super fast with new HD sources.
thanks for your reply i was already using the latest its as if im not receiving the sources for some reason or should i be installing any modules as i received errors that the elementtree script didnt have its dependencies met would you mind backing up your xbmc configuration through the fire tv utility for me and sending me it in a zip so i could try yours out please
I would if I could figure out how to backup my SPMC install with adbFire. That's my new daily driver and the most up to date install that I have.

Did you open ADBFire preferences and change package name to: com.semperpax.spmc?

TVAddons released a specific android version called TVMC which will load all that for you automatically. Its still good to learn the inner workings of XBMC though.
getting the same thing on the fire stick genesis movies not working?

Easiest method for copying XBMC setup on fire tv to fire tv stick?

Hello all,
I have been working on my setup on the fire tv device for some time. I have XBMC customized and configured for my sources/shares and chosen add-ons. I just received my fire tv stick and would like to basically copy the setup to the stick.
For some reason I was never able to get the apps like adbFire to work when I tried Backup XBMC / Restore XBMC (now Kodi) so I was wondering what the easiest way to mirror the setup would be? Is there a config file that i could copy from an install on one device to an install on the other that would setup everything? I am thinking that would probably be "too easy" but it might work for the shares/sources.
Look forward to the responses. Thanks all.

Install ES File Explorer. Turn on Remote Manager (basically, it creates an FTP server on the FireStick). Go to the FireTV, enter that info. Go to this thread that I wrote and look at /9

Note, if you are using kodi, the folder should be org.xbmc.kodi.

Hi - I was wondering if the process that was described allowed you to mirror image the stick? thank you in advance for the reply - I was also looking for a way to mirror the stick from one to the other to avoid making a complete setup for the multiple sticks I am looking to purchase for the multiple TV's in my house.
Thanks
It should work for as many devices as you want. I use mysql library and exported it then the sources appear on all my devices running the same version of kodi.
I prefer this for several reasons but you need a computer that's on 24/7 to run mysql server.

Amazon Fire TV Stick - Not able to install ShowBox 4.9.2 and Terrarium 1.7.1 (modded)

Dear Friends,
I just bought new Fire TV Stick and it is working well. I want to install Terrarium 1.7.1 (modded) apk as well as Showbox 4.9.2 (modde) apk but both didn't install and shows "Installation Failed" by Fire TV Stick.
I , obviously , enabled enabled "App from unknown Sources" under developer option in Settings.
I tried to install the base (Not premium/ No Mod versions) installed ok but modded/premium apk not installing.
However , the same modded apk files of above listed apps working well in my Android Phone..
I tried to use "Apps2Fire" App, which is otherwise working well for installation of others app from mobile to Amazon Fire TV, is not working for these modded apk. The modded apk files are successfully transferred to Fire TV but installation is failed every time I tried to install. I also tried adbfire software to install android apps from PC to Amazon Fire TV Stick. Transfer from PC to Fire Stick OK but installation failed.
I am not keen to use the non-premium versions of both apps as a lot of advertisements kills your joy.
P Lease help me to find a way-out to install these modded apks in Amazon Fire TV.

App not installed. This app isn't compatible with your TV.

I recently purchased the fire stick 4K and I'm having a difficult time installing Kodi on it. I am unable to use ADB link version 5.1 to connect to the fire stick with the developer's options enabled on the fire stick. I get the following message when trying to install Kodi using downloader.
Any assistance to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated
Are you installing the 32bit version?
Android | Downloads
Kodi is a free media player that is designed to look great on your big screen TV but is just as at home on a small screen.

You can use Easy FireTV tools to install apps on your Stick directly from your phone

Yes ARMV7A (32BIT)
Thanks for your help Finnzz. I was able to get Kodi installed using the Easy Fire Tools. I'm confused as to why I could connect using Easy Fire Tools and not with ADB link 5.1. I use ADB link To backup and restore my Kodi build. I don't like having to manually build My Kodi platform.

Easy Fire Tools is also Kodi oriented, you can use the Media Center menu to back up and restore your Kodi Build.
If you still have your other Android device you can connect Easy Fire Tools to it (connects to Android and FireOS) backup, then connect to the Stick and restore.
ADBLink's developer thread is here, he seems very responsive.
