I have created this little android app for my own use. The main purpose of this app is to install any app that is on you android phone/tablet to FireTV/stick. All you need is the adb turned on your FireTV/Stick and Allow installing apps from unknown sources.
Here are steps copied from Amazon
Turn on ADB Debugging
You must enable ADB on the Fire TV device before you can connect to the device.
From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
Select System > Developer Options.
Select ADB Debugging.
Get the IP Address
You need the IP address of your Fire TV device on your network to connect ADB to it.
From the main (Launcher) screen, select Settings.
Select System > About > Network. Make note of the IP address listed on this screen.
Now Just open the AGK fire app attached below, enter you FireTV/Stick IP Address and select the app you want to install on your FireTV/Stick.
Credits goes to alexjlockwood for "https://github.com/alexjlockwood/AppListLoader" which is the backbone for my app.
Also Thanks to all the wonderful tutorials on android app development on the web.
Any Suggestions are welcome. I will try to address as soon as I can.

Tried it and its awesome!!!
Imagination is your limit.I have installed Chrome Beta, Xfinity TV (which covers lot of subscribed live channels like ESPN, ESPN2, CNN ( YOU NEED TO HAVE SUBSCRIPTION) etc), TWMC (XBMC for Android) and all of them works well. Great Job!!!!

Thanks for this. I will try this when I get home.

Android TV
Will this work for Android TV devices as well?

It should work. I haven't tested any. I have fire stick only. Any device that has adb over network turned on should work.

I'll try it tonight and let you know. I have an ADT-1 Developer Kit.

I think ADT-1 uses port 4321 so when you set your ipaddress add :4321 to the end of it. Thanks for testing.

Looks great. Super simple. Saves a bunch of time, thank you

Can't get it working
I have enabled adb and install of unknown apps, but no apps are installing to My Fire TV. When I select an app to install, I see a window pop up very briefly that says "Installing app", but then nothing.

It's awesome

Hmm, doesn't work on my 2013 Moto X also. :crying:

Amazing app! Thank you!
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app

Thank you! This worked flawlessly (version 1.1) on FireStick. Much faster than upload/download from Dropbox.
I haven't tried the direct apk, only apps installed on my phone (oneplus one).
edit: Had a moment where it would toast "installing", but then fade and do nothing. Killed app and restarted FireStick, and worked again. Not sure which of those two actions fixed it.

I have a few suggestions:
1. Go into your XDA settings and enable the donation button. You deserve compensation for your efforts. This is a great app.
2. When the app executes any adb command, like "adb install ....", you should target the IP address specifically. Some Android devices, including the Fire TV, will already be connected to an emulated adb device if developer mode is turned on. So when the app connects to the Fire TV, your adb commands will fail because there are two connected devices. I think this is the source of many peoples issues. You can direct adb commands like this:
Code:
adb -s <ipaddress:5555> ...
Note that the port number is required for this to work.
3. The app can be used on a Fire TV to install Fire TV only apps onto a Fire TV Stick. However, navigating with the remote is a bit broken. When the app list initially loads, make it so that the first item is selected/highlighted by default. This will allow the Fire TV remote to move the selection down the list. I found a workaround that allows this to work for now. If you press the menu button on the Fire TV remote and go to the apps settings, when you return to the app list, the selector will be present.

Aha! I will try that. I had no idea about the port.
BTW, your app looks much nicer than the Fireinstaller app that is available on Google Play. Maybe you should make it available there. Make it work for both Fire TV and Android TV. Call it "Sidestaller TV".

[Q] british amazon fire ?

ive ordered an amazon fire tv in England , and now someone tells me ii may not be able to root it to put xbmc on it and then install a vpn on it , is this true or not and how can i tell ? also if this box wont do this , can you recommen a device that will work as i need to install a vpn directly onto the device so only the device uses the vpn , i also have a virgin media superhub ? thanks

I don't think UK firetv's can be rooted unless you do it using the hardware method.
You can install xbmc on it.
if not rooted you cannot install vpn.
suggestion, try to get a rooted firetv from the us

what box would do what i require in the uk ? as i dont fancy the hardware method . thanks

Look on ebay. As far as I know anyone in the west coast like Los Angeles are still getting the old firmware. If you have a friend here, send the box to him and have him root it for you. the guides written by rbox and others are perfect.
If you are looking just for xbmc then there is no need to root.

i will need it rooted because i need a vpn installed , as virgin media (my isp) are blocking 1 channel and now icefilms , and i need a device that that i can install the vpn directly onto because the superhub router isnt compatable with any vpn . i dont know anyone in the usa , thanks

You can use unotelly. you won't need vpn and you'll have access to your content. I am leaving on Vacation in about a week or else I wouldn't mind helping out.

if i bought a new amazon fire tv from the states , would i be able to root that easily or is it not possible to root the new devices ? thanks

It depends, did you buy new or refurb. did you buy it from ebay or amazon. Which location. The best way to find out is to boot it up normally and go to system and check the firmware and disconnect the firetv and if confused. ask here.

i bought a new one from amazon uk , its still in the box and i will return it , as i have been told that new ones cant be rooted , is it the same if i bought one off amazon in the usa . ? or could that be rooted ? do you know which software versions can be rooted and which cant , just incase the one i have has older software ? ive looked at the site you said instead of using vpn , it looks interesting , thanks for your help , enjoy your vacation

The ones Staples has are packing the old firmware, but you will still have trouble registering the device from where you are. As the other person mentioned you will need someone here in the states to set it up for you.
Or you could just buy a router that supports vpn. Ones that can run DD-WRT or similar custom firmware can usually be got for half the price of the FTV box.

hi i have bought one off e-bay from the USA , its been rooted and has xbmc loaded on it . Will i be able to install a vpn onto it seeing as its been rooted and has anyone a tutorial on how i can do this ? thanks

It will depend what the Rooter did.. Seems a lot of the ones being sold on eBay already rooted do not come with CWM or a PreRooted FW. But you should be able to upgrade to that once you backup the XBMC & other things. Then you can take stock of what has been done to the Rooted FTV. And upgrade things from there.

are there any tutorials about that would show me how to do this ? thanks

First you would need to establish where your FTV is at. Then you can make a plan for what is left to upgrade/update.
I myself use the Amazon FireTV Utility App v0.34. And I have written a few walkthru posts. I use this Utility so I don't have to input everything manually. Really shortens the time it takes to mod things.
But I still base everything I do from the many guides over @ http://www.aftvnews.com/
All the guides can be found here: http://www.aftvnews.com/tag/guide/
And the best starting point is found here: http://www.aftvnews.com/start/
You would just skip the parts that have already been done to your FTV.
Did you already order one ?? If you already order one then just familiarize yourself with the guides. And options & the Utility. And the once you receive it then you can start to form a plan... Let me know when you get it. I can try to help... PM me if needed.

thanks for that i will have a read of those links , i have already bought it and its on its way , ive asked the seller about the CWM or a PreRooted FW. but he didnt know what it was , he said its pre loaded with xbmc and ready to plug in and watch , its also been rooted . is there a guide for installing a vpn ? because if it comes with xbmc installed and is rooted , i may only have to install the vpn . thanks for your help

the ftv has arrived and has been rooted using the ADB method , so it shouldnt update when i plug it in , ( my router wont allow me to block domain names , so i cant block the amazon updating links ) . i am going to try to install hide my ass vpn directly onto the ftv and im using the instructions from this link **tps://vpntips.com/fire-tv-vpn-install/ , should i be able to skip the instructions until the downloading of the 2 apps for the openvpn installer ? and just one more thing in the instructions that im not sure about is the op 2 in sideloading of apps " change directory (CD) to your android SDK platform tools directory " ? im not sure what this means or how to do it , could someone explain ? thanks for your help .

No, just because you are rooted does not mean that you won't get OTA updates. You need to disable the package that checks for updates. Before anything else, this should be the first order of business, else you can loose root.
Regarding OpenVPN, yes. You install 3 things:
1. tun.ko
2. OpenVPN installer.
3. OpenVPN settings.
Make sure BusyBox is installed as well (not just installed, but you need to open the app and install the binaries within it).
As someone mentioned about using a DNS re-director service, you should check that out. VPN might be an over-kill for your needs. And if you do decide to go the VPN route, the best option is to get a cheap router on which you can install DD-WRT or OPENWRT (check those sites before you buy a router and make sure it is supported). You can run DD-WRT as a VPN client and you can connect your FTV to this router (set up as a VPN client to your commercial VPN provider) and only funnel FTV traffic over this VPN. You can put this router down-stream from your main router. Check to see if your VPN provider offers PPTP as well (less secure, but maybe faster). PPTP is not available natively on FTV, so you will need to use a secondary device to route your traffic.
What the "change directory" is talking about is that your command prompt needs to be in the folder where adb is installed. Usually, in the "platform-tools" folder. In this folder, you will put your apk files that you need to install to your FTV (you can put these apk files somewhere else, but for sake of sanity, put them there).
It will be very helpful to you if you go to www.aftvnews.com and read the guide on adb installs.

HI thanks for that , i will have a read . i dont think ftv will update when i plug it in as im told updates have been stopped using the ADB method when it was routed , my router wont let me block updates , . im looking into getting a second router (Asus RT-N66U) that i can install downstream from the original router that has been supplied by my isp , and i can switch my original to modem mode . im just hoping ftv doesnt update when plugged in ? should it be ok , knowing what ive put on here ? thanks

hi , ive plugged ftv in and its been on for a few hours and doesnt seem to be updating software version is 51.1.1.0user511070220 . ive taken on board what was said about dns as opposed to vpn , as i only want the access to blocked sites in xbmc on the ftv , and have found a tutorial from smartdns , would this work without loosing my root or getting updates , instructions are below . Also how do i set up a 1 click USA address in amazon account ( i have an account but am in the UK ) and where it says go to account and set to USA , is this done on my amazon acount or in the fire tv ? sorry to sound thick . thanks

You will only loose root if you install a stock recovery or stock firmware. If you do a Factory Reset you will need to reblock the OTA updates..
As for the other ?'s you have about Amazon Accounts country changes & DNS. www.aftvnews.com Has the guides for all that if you look in their guide section...

VPN on Fire stick 5.2.1

Hello,
I have been trying to get PIA VPN service running on amazon fire stick version 5.2.1. I can connect to the PIA vpn but my IP does not change.
Web search indicated I needed root which I have done via ADBLINK install of Kingoroot but still does not work. Same results; I can connect to the PIA vpn but my IP does not change.
I have tried with openvpn 0.6.55 apk and PIA 1.2.2 apk.
Do I need to grant root permission to the openvpn app? If so how (noob here)? And/or do I need some helper apk/app?
Any help is appreciated.
IB

did you have any luck with this?

How can I get OpenVPN working with Kodi & Do I need to root my Amazon Fire TV Stick?

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 don't know of anyway around registration of the stick. In settings you can not enable ADB? You will have to root it to disable the OTA (firestick2 is rootable). The other option is set a VPN to let you register it. Just some ideas...

Also, did the VPN actually do the hotspot VPN? Did you check with a 3rd device? I have done VPN hotspot and my connected devices are not in the VPN.

hi! I tried thousands times to adb my fire stick on wifi. But it never pop up the adb authorize window. Finally, I pull out the usb line from charger and plug into PC. Then adb link again, the window pop up on TV and you can select "agree" to allow the adb debug.

With rooting and unlocking you can get into ADB VIA TWRP. You might run into an issue on connecting to ADB and still having keyboard access with a powered hub to power the stick and have ADB sideloading, it can be done though. but you can also work in advanced in twrp-terminal. You also have file manager. I am still not sure how to get past the setup though. I find it weird that it wont let you register it though...
