sir my google play store dos,t work when i writting email coming communication error
[Fire General] sashusmom:
Worked great

I received my KindleFire 7 5th gen from Amazon that I got during prime day for $33. FireOS 5.1.3. - stock. I followed RootJunky.com's video and links for the zip files and everything worked great! Google play store seems to be working fine. Thank you very much for this hack. :D Makes my fire tablet much more usable and friendly.

It opened the 1st time. I signed in with my account, got the code from the text from my phone since I have 2 step authorization on. Signed in, downloaded an app, opened that app, and a pop-up to update google services. Updated the services, and all seems to be OK.

Reassurances about the APKs?

Can anyone give me any reassurances about the APKs in the Mega folder provided by the OP? I can get Google Play and Google Play Services from APKMirror, and I'm reasonably confident that their APKs are trustworthy, but I'm not so sure about downloading the Google Login Service and Google Services Framework APKs from the Mega folder (which Google Play requires)...

These APKs require a LOT of permissions and I'm a little worried about what the OP could do with my tablet if I installed them.

That said, I could be in cahoots with the OP and XDA moderators (not to mention the previous 600 posters) to draw in the unwary. Queue evil laugh track ....

Fails due to 2 emulator

Okay I tried this and it fails because ADB states there are two emulators. "Error: more than one device/emulator" then loops with -waiting for device-. So guess no way to get it to work on one I just got.:mad: Because unregistered /never connected to internet (air gap tablet) and March 2016 OS 5.1.3 I really thought I could do a change from "stock" and quite surprised that nothing can be changed.
[Fire General] DB126:
- might want to Google that error message; suspect it's resolvable on your end

- you can always rollback to 5.1.2, root and install a custom rom (CM 12.1, Nexus, SlimLP, etc) which will transform your Fire from an Amazon appliance to a fully functional Android device.
[Fire General] andydumi:
On tablets with the latest firmware, 5.1.4, can the play store still be sideloaded? I see a lot of discussion of needing roll-back for root/custom roms, but not clear if needed just for the play store sideload. Thanks for any advice.

[Fire General] webfrm:
No Luck

Okay I did a google search as you suggested and all the commands adb kill-server, adb set local, adb -s, etc... all failed in letting me do an adb install command. I believe I was successful, I think it worked because I can see the apps on the Fire tablet, by rebooting my PC and as soon as it started opening CMD prompt and typing ADB install command and the file names quickly. But when I click on Google Play store the screen just flashes and won't open. I tried to repeat what I just did but ADB stated the files are already installed (duh) so I am back to same thing of no Play Store on the Fire even with the files installed.
[Fire General] DB126:
My thoughts won't be especially satisfying but reflect experiences on multiple Amazon device types across several generations. Layering Google Framework and related apps over FireOS is an unhappy marriage at best that typically requires constant attention to maintain full functionality. Especially on an unrooted device. RootJunky and others have done an excellent job streamlining the installation of the Play Store on 5th gen Fires. A basic knowledge of adb and the host operating system (eg: Windows) is still required which is where the installation hangups often lie. If it works for you great! Otherwise consider a custom rom that natively supports the full suite of Google Frsmework components - both installation and ongoing operations as underlying versions evolve over time. Just my 2 cents.
[Fire General] webfrm:
I hear you

Yeah I totally agree yet without "ADB install" working I am sure that will be my solution. I saw RJ's video and I'm leaning to rooting and installing Cynagoen or another ROM and prefer doing that (been doing it since my N1 days) but RJ's supertool only list 5.1.2 or lower as an option. Just got this out of the box and it's 5.1.3 (I was smart enough not to have registered or updated) and can't seem to get clear answer that doing RJ's firmware restore down to 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 so I can use his supertool will work. I watched the videos and saw that it was possible to change the ROM, I just didn't realize that mine would come one version too high to benefit from all the stuff on xda and youtube that I had watched. I just don't want to brick it, and read that any downgrade will brick. Maybe RJ or another awesome developer will be updating a 5.1.3 fix, I know 5.3.1.0 is a death sentence, so I want to know can I downgrade to 5.1.2 or lower successfully so I can use the supertool. Unfortunately it feels just like "bricked" (because it's only a paperweight) since I've never setup the WiFi, registered it, or done anything other than turn it on to make sure it worked since I got it. Will keep researching and thanks for your 2 cents.
[Fire General] Dunard:
Hope the KingRoot get a update to work on the 5.1.3 and up soon. This is dumb not enable to root the 5.1.3 and up.
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
Amazon doesn't want you to root the Fire
[Fire General] daniel3016:
It's pretty simple to downgrade 5.1.3 to 5.1.2 I have done about 6 of them that way. The hardest part was getting the adb drivers installed on my windows 10 machine. Once you get that download a tool called simple adb Fastboot. It installs a little terminal window and type ' adb sideload ' and drag the bin file into the window and hit enter. Follow this guide https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...BAnxMX75i-OxeBpGQ&sig2=IKUjBjXtIl5helFakzg5XA[/url]
[Fire General] DB126:
As posted by others sideloading (downgrading to) FireOS 5.1.2 is both possible and easy. From there you can root and install the custom rom of your choice. Don't go any lower than 5.1.2 as the device will brick. If you opt to remain on FireOS be sure to block/disable OTA updates.

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

If your device is still on FireOS 5.1.2.1/5.1.3 the incentive to sideload and lock in 5.1.2 increased with the release of 5.3.x which can not be rooted or rolled back. Versions of FireOS > 5.1.2 remain vulnerable to OTA updates which require root to be fully effective.
[Fire General] theupboat:
I have rooteed FireOS 5.1.1 should I update to 5.1.2 ? or just keep 5.1.1?
[Fire General] sd_shadow:

[Fire General] aslomagic:
I confirm, I used to have issues with 5.1.x, but now it just works!

I tried to prevent my Fire from auto-updating, then eventually I gave up the idea of ever rooting it, and this stubborn thing just self-updated to 5.3.1.0. Well well, seems like this time the update was a good thing after all! No root, but google play finally works! :)

This works well too ~

http://www.gregglestv.com/2016/01/50-amazon-fire-tablet-how-to-install.html

No PC required. Works with 2014 Saturn Fires also. Some things that were not working with RootJunky, like Hangouts video chat, work fine now. Yahoo email app still sucks.

The first thing it does after install, when you go to Playstore to install an app, is it updates Playstore.

I am having a bit of troubles with this guide and my kindle hd8.

everything was installed (I had to manually do as I run linux) and google play opens but I cannot download anything.

Every time I try to install anything I get an "error in retrieving information from server DF-DLA-15

Tried to reinstall, give permission again, but no luck...

Hello,

Thanks for all this. When I ran the batch file, item 3 in the Amazon Fire Tablet Tool is "block OTA updates from Amazon" and item 4 is "unblock OTA updates from Amazon." I am currently running 5.1.2. Which option should I run? 3 or 4? I presume if I don't do either, it will continue to have OTA updates, but I read some posts of others who had an OTA update to 5.3 and Google Play still works.

Thank you very much.

- if your device updates to 5.3.1 it will temporarily loose root access

store not installing

Hey there-

I'm trying to install the Google Play Store on a Kindle 7 (5th gen) running 5.1.3. I've installed the APK's and all seemed to install fine but the Google Play store did not want to install some apps ("install" button just stayed green). I tried deleting the app and reinstalling but now it will not reinstall. I've tried several different versions of the store (5.4.12-leanback for example) and none seem to work. When I try to install it errors out saying it "app not installed". I've also tried com.android.vending_7.0.25.H and 7.4/02.L with no luck. Even tried the zipped "install play store" file.

What am I doing wrong?

***update***

I did a factory reset and tried again to install the store and everything worked fine. Must've had some conflicting apk's I guess! Anyway just in case others have the same problem try that method. Thanks!

Warrenty Status and APK source

So two questions:

First off, will sideloading and installing the 4 google APK's (Google Account Manager, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, and Google Play Store) in any way void my Kindle's 2 year square-trade warranty?

Secondly, Since I'm a little leery about trusting APK's that I download from the internet, I pulled them from my Brother's rooted Google Nexus 6 (so i know they came directly from google without tampering). Before i hit install on the APK's, does anybody see any potential compatibility issues from getting the APK's that way? I have literally NO experience in this sort of thing and I REALLY don't wanna brick my kindle. Thanks!
[Fire General] DB126:
1) No issue w/SquareTrade warranty

2) Many Google components are device dependent; Nexus 6 and 5th gen Fire have little in common. Use the components (apps) posted in this thread.
[Fire General] DestroyerR175:
Thanks!

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------

How does FireOS versions correlate to Android Versions? If my kindle is currently running FireOS 5.3.2.1, which version of the APK's do i install? Do i still go with the newest releases? or is it better to install an older one and let it update?

Also, another thing that is giving me trouble is the Google Play services app. Which version do i use? Their README on how to pick the correct version just plain down right confused me!

I know that this has probably been answered before, but i figured i'd ask anyways to make sure i got up to date info, since the original post and some of the comments are dated.

Thanks!

[Fire General] kungpow5:
Installed google play fine. A day later I have an app installed itself with no permission. Won't fully be removed. Clearly malware. Mopria Print Service is the app. Any relation to sideloading Google Play by the apk's? Any risk to my device/data? Any advice to fully remove?
[Fire General] DB126:
App probably included with FireOS (default print service) and likely hidden or with no launchable UI. Google Play Store matched signature and installed an update. If you don't want automatic updates configure Play Store accordingly.
[Fire General] DestroyerR175:
KungPow5, This is what I think is happening:

kungpow5, I am by no means an expert (in fact I have virtually NO experience in this field) so please double check all of this and don't take my word as law.

I too noticed the Mopria Printing Services app on my device. I just now did a check on my sibling's Kindle Fire 7's (which DON'T have google playstore installed and are just basic factory-shipped Kindles) and they both have it as well.

What i think is happening is this:

I believe that Mopria Printing Services is the printing service that Amazon has chosen for Fire OS. I think that usually it's a hidden system app; which is why you've never seen it before, and can't remove it in the conventional way. I also believe that the only reason we're seeing them now is that when you open PlayStore, it scans your device for every app installed and then checks that against it's own database. Google obviously has a newer release than Kindle included in the FireOS, which is why you're seeing it either on the UP TO DATE apps list, or the UPDATES apps list.

I get the same thing with Alexa, it's an embedded FireOS systems app that you can't uninstall, yet (again) Google PlayStore has a nwer version so it keeps showing up in the PlayStore's UPDATES list.

I hope this helped, and again PLEASE DOUBLE-CHECK ME.

Is this thread still alive? I've got the slightly famous "can't log into my google account" error. I get the "Couldn't sign in, Google servers are not available at this time" and I get a notification to update google play services, however when I click it it doesn't do anything. I'm on 5.0.0, do you think that could be an issue? Also I installed the 4 .apk's manually, I didn't use any script or anything. I appreciate any advice or help anyone can give me.

Thanks,

EDIT: Also, can anyone tell me what would happen if I re-enabled OTA updates and let Amazon update the tablet even though I have SuperSU installed? Brick? Update with SuperSU? Update and delete SuperSU?

Also also, I've tried installing a slightly newer google play services (this does get rid of the notification, however I still can't log in) as well as deleting the cache/data/force stopping it for all 4 apk's.
[Fire General] DB126:
This thread is obsolete; use the method outlined in this thread.

Retaining FireOS 5.0.x (or at least the 5.0.x bootloader) affords much greater control over your device and makes nearly every other Fire 7 owner envious. An OTA will remove root and permanently nullify those capabilities. I doubt the device would brick. You'd just be left with a run-of-the-mill Fire 7.

You have obvious made a conscious decision to remain on FireOS vs flashing Nexus or another custom ROM. There is a method for retaining root and the flexible 5.0.x bootloader while updating FireOS to the most recent version. It demands attention to detail and is unforgiving of mistakes. Ask if interested.

[/COLOR]

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

Good thing I kept it on 5.0.0 then. I feel FireOS will give me the best stability, however being on a Nexus or other custom ROM would probably be good enough. I'll be using the tablet as a front end for my 3D printer so stability is king. If I flash one of those Nexus or other custom ROMS, they'll already have the google framework and play store built in, won't they?
[Fire General] DB126:
Fire Nexus comes with Open GAaps nano which contains the components you mentioned. Concerns about stability are misplaced. You'll do far better with a custom ROM for the task that you have identified. That said, you may find fixed memory (RAM) constraints limit the usefulness of this device in such a potentially demanding application.

[MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] Does installing the Play Store and letting the built-in apps such as Alexa auto update to a new version have any consequences? Specifically what I am looking to know is will Amazon still update the built-in apps AFTER they have been updated by Google or will there be problems with the conflict of Google and Amazon?
[Fire General] DB126:
Applications are typically updated by the store where they originated. There are exceptions and occasionally conflicts do occur. Note the Alexa app preinstalled on some devices and presumably updated via the Amazon store infrastructure is different than the generic Alexa app offered via Google Play. That's the way Amazon rolls.
