So one of my apps needs google play services. I sideloaded it on and app worked but next time I started fire tv it could not boot past the fire logo.
I eventually recovered device with OTG cable but is there any way to install Google play services without messing up the device ?

I'm sorry for starting a new thread, but I've tried several things on this board and nothing seems to work.
I rooted my fire a while back with Kindle Fire Utility with no problems. I had google marketplace and then installed twrp, so I'm not a total noob.
However, after rooting my friend's kindle, the marketplace doesn't show up, and nothing I do after scouring the internet seems to let me install it.
Do you recommend that I install twrp, and wipe the whole kindle clean and retry or what?
What might be the reason that I installed everything easily on mine, but not his? Will wiping the kindle clean fix this issue?
Watch Nat3mil do it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTkegVrnAvA or the kindle fire utility 0.9.3 has it under extras selection 2 google apps/go launcher
That's just it. I installed the extras and it added all of the apps but the store. That didn't happen to me before, and is what is so strange. I'm watching Nate's video.
The KFU has been know for not being able to installed Google play store, so here are the intructions I used.
Pre requisites:
Your device must be rooted.
Note: Lots of ROMS out there have Google play store and apps already installed. There is even a rom called MoDaCo that uses the kindle fires stock UI but comes with market installed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916
1. Download Google play http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583888 and Googleservicesframework. Apk

2. Move the Google play store to system/apps
3. Install Googleservicesframework apk like a normal application.
4. Reboot your device

Up until recently the play store could not see my fire. Now it recognizes it and allows me to click on download. However when I do nothing happens. This is an unrooted kindle. Play shows the apps as "installed" but again nothing ever gets to the kindle. Am I doing something wrong? Or is play recognizing fires now and working with them only if they're rooted? I didn't know if Google found some way around amazon's block.

Your not doing anything wrong, my kindle had the same thing. I wasn't rooted and I was able to get on the play store but if I downloaded an app then it would crash. If you root and flash gapps on your kindle then you can send apps to download on your fire.

If you have any apps on your fire that you sideloaded such as play books or play music that use a google account, then you will likely show up on google play
I have a rooted with bin4ry kindle fire hd 8.9. I cannot get google play to work anymore. It worked fine up until a few days ago. Now all I get when I tap play store is google play store stopped and it won't let me log in at all. I've uninstalled reinstalled rebooted. I've also tried older versions of apk files and nothing has worked. Any help getting google play to work again would be great. Thanks
I have tried installing previous versions of google play services as well as google play store apk files and none have worked. It was working fine until a few days ago. My kindle is rooted with bin4ry. Any ideas how to get out working again?
Hello All,
I have a rooted Fire TV 2 and have installed Google Play. I was able to login to Google Play but none of the apps that require Google play will work. I know the playstore won't work for downloading apps etc. but on the Fire TV 1 the same install of gapps allows apps like MediaHouse UPNP and others to work. Is there a version of gapps that work for the Fire TV 2, or some workaround to get the apps requiring Google Play to work.
Thanks
Is it the lack of the Play store or Google Play Services? For the latter, try installing this XPosed module: http://repo.xposed.info/module/xeed.xposed.dngmod

thanks for the reply. I thought Xposed wasn't working on rooted Fire TV 2. There's a thread about Busybox working but not Xposed, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not concerned about the Play Store not working, only the apps that require it, so it probably is more of a Google Play Services issue. Have it working on my Fire TV 1 and although Xposed is installed I'm not using a Play Store module or anything. Just want to install whatever is required for the apps to work not necessarily for the Play Store.
thanks
Maybe Play Services Patcher?

thanks for the suggestion. Gave it a try but no go. You have to install his Google Play Services for the patcher to work, but it won't install on Fire TV 2 because it says incompatible. I'm really thinking it is just the version of Google Play and associated apps that is causing the problem.
