I am a new Fire TV owner and have downloaded the ES file manager app, then I installed Firestarter, then I installed Kodi and had Wookie running on that, then I tried to put Mobdro onto Kodi using kodisrael repo. It crashed. I powered off and left for a while powered back on and it loads up AFTV screen then Firestarter then Freezes remote not making a click sound doing nothing ? Help how do I fix ?
Did you do anything else? Root, hiding packages, etc.?
Try to connect an USB keyboard and navigate through the firestarter settings. There are several autostart settings in the app, also disable the ADB-mode.
Edit:
Can you still connect via ADB?

Hi,
I recently installed SPMC launcher version on my FireTV. When I rebooted, it launches straight into SPMC, but never makes it to the menu. Just a black grey screen. I can't get back to the Amazon menu in any way. I can't uninstall SPMC to restore the launcher. I've tried via adbFire, but it says it's not installed.
Any recommendations on how to restore my launcher to kftv?
I can access the FireTV via adb or SSH. I just don't know what I need to do from there.
Thanks!
Sorry... I just figured it out. I downloaded the newest version of adbFire, and it allowed me to delete it. Thanks anyway.
I'm having issues installing Kodi & FireStarter onto my TV Stick.
I downloaded adbFire 2.01 for Windows & added my TV stick, when I select to install Kodi 15.2 & FireStarter v3.2.1 it takes over 5 minutes to install, but never installs.
Any ideas? I already tried resetting my stick to factory settings and re-downloaded all the programs and files. Still having the same issue.
Use AGK Fire from the Amazon or Google play store on your phone and push the apps to your Fire stick. That's the quickest and easiest way.
Juat make sure your phone is on the same WiFi network as your Fire stick.
Hello, I am about ready to give up on my Fire TV 1. Currently, I am on Software 51.1.6.3_user_516012020, and I apparently have root, bootloader, etc. However, due to low memory space, I ended up deleting (through ADB) the Amazon Home screen. Now nothing works. I did a factory reset (probably a bad idea), and still can't get anything to work. I have tried installing Kodi 17.4 with the Downloader app, and get a "parse error." Installation fails when I tried to install through ADBFire. Finally, install fails on App2Fire as well, with the message: "Upload successful, ERROR listing packages: Broken pipe."
I'm at a loss here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would even ship the device to you, if you could fix it! Should I just upgrade to a Fire TV 2 at this point?
Don't know if this will make any difference, but try sideloading the firestarter / appstarter app ( name was changed over time). In the app settings is the option to directly install the latest version of kodi. I've had a few issues in the past where I couldn't get it to install using adbfire, but it worked when using the appstarter / firestarter gui interface. I believe firestarter or appstarter still boots directly into its gui interface if you've got root. If you can sideload the appstarter or firestarter apk, reboot the fire tv and see if it boots into the app's gui interface. Go to settings and you'll see a kodi option allowing you to download kodi 17.4. No guarantees, but worth a shot.
Come to think of it, you've probably bricked it. See if there's anything that's useful in this article

How can I get OpenVPN working with Kodi & Do I need to root my Amazon Fire TV Stick?
Hi,
Currently I've done a really weird hacky way of getting my VPN working...
1. Installed NordVPN via Apps2Fire
2. Installed KodiOnBoot via Apps2Fire
3. Setup NordVPN to Boot on Launch
4. Setup KodiOnBoot to Launch Kodi after 120 Seconds of Screen Timeout (Alternatively I can just press Home & Load Kodi manually)
NordVPN was a nussiance to get it to where I've managed to get it to so far because you can't scroll down in the settings correctly. Likewise the same problem with OpenVPN's application, I can't scroll down so I can't even get that app to boot...
However in Kodi there is an OpenVPN app you can download via https://brianhornsby.com/kodi_addons/openvpn however when trying to setup that it just tells me to Check the Log because it failed to connect to the .opvn file yet I can't find the log and I have a feeling its to do with root/su.
Any ideas what I should do to get around this?
Thanks
I saw an old Thread about installing a Stock Settings Apk on Fire TV but sadly it doesn't work on new versions, I'm looking to do this because I want to be able to access settings without needing to go into Fire TV launcher and I want to have access to advanced settings like changing keyboards, accessibility, Device Administrator, etc. Which aren't available by default in Fire TV settings.
Does anyone know of anything like that that works on Fire OS 5.2.7.1 (Rooted)
My device is the Fire TV 2 [sloane] by the way.
Edit: Here is the old Thread I was referring to (yes it is for the firestick).
You can try my root Settings app.

Unfortunately it has some issues with my Fire TV and crashes. Also I don't think This allows for keyboard switching, Accessibility Services, or Managing Device Administrators.

com.markus.firetools works on my firetv 2 running 5.2.7.4 flawlessly, I have leankey keyboard also and change from this to fire tv ime regularly.
I use pm commands for accessibility such as launchers.
It should be noted I'm using the settings apk from the android source zip at the ftvlaunchx thread FYI.

Whenever I try to open the icons for "My FireTV" or "Equipment" the app just force closes.
@0815hoffi Recently I made an issue in the GitHub repo
Try this Version.
Not tested with FireTV2.
Try this adb command:
su -c am start -a com.amazon.tv.oobe.settings.ACTION.DEVICE_CONTROL -n com.amazon.tv.devicecontrolsettings/.screens.main_menu.OzOobeSettingsActivity
I think its a Problem with 5.2.7.1 update to 5.2.7.3 or later should fix it.
