Hi,

Sorry if I'm in the wrong thread. I was directed here via this article: howtogeek.com/232726/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-your-amazon-fire-tablet/

Trying to get the google play store on what I believe is a 3rd Generation Kindle Fire HDX. It's ancient, I know, but I got it for free. Anyway, I was able to successfully install and open the app using method 2 from the above link, but could never get past the "error retrieving information from server df-dferh-01" error message when I opened it. Maybe my device is just too old to get this to work. Really the only thing I want to be able to use it for is to install and use the Marvel Unlimited app. Anyone know if there's a way I can make that happen?

Thanks!

Wrong thread; you should be posting here: https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general

Quick response: Forget the Play Store on your 3rd gen HDX running FireOS v4. Not a good combo as you are discovering. If you only want Marvel Unlimited download and install (sideload) from here: https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general

You may be wary of download links posted by some random dude. Two comments:

- do your homework; APKMirror is well respected and safe

- check my reputation; no spring chicken

As an aside, 3rd gen HDX devices can be fully unlocked which permits FireOS to be replaced with several generic Android 7.1 based ROMs that fully support Google Play Services and related apps.

Issue

I'm having an issue on my fire hd 8 2018 , after few days where the play store worked fine it has stop working and it's stuk in login page. Please help
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
Try clearing the data from the Google play store and play services force close them and reboot. if that doesn't work you may want to try reflashing the gapps package again. Also make sure to look in internal storage Android data 4 remnants of those two applications when you delete the data. Make sure you delete those folders. Also look in external storage if you have any.

Thanks. I was able to install Google Play on my new 9th gen Fire 7. Just one problem, how can I logout of my Google account easily?

Edit: I am able to sign out on my PC via "Recently Used Devices" but I don't know how to do it on the Fire device itself.
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
That's the only way you're able to do it. You cannot logout of your Google through any fire device it has to be done through your actual account settings through Google.

Installed fine, but when i sign in, it crashes and tells me I need to update Google play services. What can I do
[Fire General] karma12gaming:
Something like this happened to me too at first, but I was able to reopen the Google Play Store and update Google Play Services through the store itself I think?

Problems installing/running Play Store on Kindle Fire HD 8.o

I am having the same problem - I am thinking that it stopped working because I moved apps to the SD card. I tried moving them back, and it still was happening (stuck at login and notifications that Google Play Services needs to be updated) I then uninstalled all of it(4 APK files) and tried reinstalling, but it keeps putting them on the SD Card, can't figure out how to make it install on internal storage...what am I doing wrong?

I'm running OS 6.3.0.1

:(
[Fire General] Michajin:
I had to install mine with the storage set as portable. I might have also had the sd card out the whole time during install and updates.
[Fire General] Donjerue:
I reinstalled on internal storage and it still does not work.:crying::mad:

Guess I am SOL
[Fire General] fleebleflam:
Hi guys, what is the latest Ver.OS update please? As i'm running 5.6.4.0 on my 10.1" (2017) tab, not sure if i'm out of date, or the tablet's not updating properly or what?? How is it that your on 6.3.0.1?? Or am i missing something??
[Fire General] Michajin:
Did it actually install on internal? i left my SD card out during the whole process and updates. I think i had to do a Data wipe to get it to work too.
[Fire General] ssurell:
Works good.

Still works great on Fire 7 2017 (7th generation) tablet. I think it just updated to 5.3.x or something because I just registered and set it up for the first time. It's been new/unopened, sitting in the closet for a while. But I was able to install the latest Google (paid) version of Minecraft and run it with no problems (because the Amazon version doesn't have joystick support).
[Fire General] karma12gaming:
Does anyone know how to add a 2nd Google account to the Google Play store? Or alternatively, is there a settings app I can install to allow me to add / remove accounts? That's the only issue I am having with this method.

Edit: I was able to add my 2nd Google account through the Gmail app. Still looking for a 3rd party settings app to remove accounts for non root Fire 7.

Method still ok on FireHD8 (2018) with 6.3.1.2

The original post with the 4 apps to download and install, still working with the Fire HD 8 (2018) with build 6.3.1.2 . Just got the tablet for $75 cdn . Allowed it to do the 6.3.1.2 update then setup permissions and installed the 4 Google Play apks and rebooted. Works great, allows any playstore app to install. Thanks to all who do this work / testing to find ways to make these devices more functional.
[Fire General] Callyamity:
I followed the instructions and have downloaded onto my Fire 10. However after the sign in screen on the play store it tells me it can't communicate with the Google servers. Please help !
[Fire General] Artad:
I've struggled over the last couple of days with getting the playstore updated, it would cycle through the login process endlessly.

I uninstalled the SD card, I uninstalled all 4 files (in reverse order), I downloaded different copies from different sites and still suffered the same problems.

Finally I tried logging in with a different Google account and it worked first time, my guess is that there's something corrupt with the primary Google account, I don't know how / why because all I did was install the play store and install 1 application and then a couple of weeks later the endless cycle.

Next time it fails I will try re-using my primary Google account to see if that works next time around.
[Fire General] djslais:
Hi, everything went great on my Fire 10, up until I tried to download an app. Then it gives me the "needs access to" screen and I accept, and then it says, "error, your device is not compatible with this item". Any ideas?
[Fire General] Tash2019:
I have followed all the steps provided downloaded the File manager from the Amazon app store. Turned on the apps from unknown sources also enabled the AND in my settings I am still getting a parsing error but only for 3 of the apk files I was curious if it would tell me the same thing for all of the apps and for the actual google playstore app itself it let me install so why I'm clueless and any suggestions would be appreciated all yea and I'm doing this on a fire tablet hd 7(2ed generation)
[Fire General] waylo:
Just a report, I just purchased the latest Fire 7 (Kids version) for my toddler and updated to the latest firmware. This method still works fine. I did not have a SD card installed at the time, thus I installed all 4 apks on internal storage.
[Fire General] Hazzard21:
So I have the 8th gen Fire HD 8, I followed the links in the original post, I’m on the newest 6.3.1.2, and after I get the google play store installed, it’s just sticking on “Google Play downloading” but when I tap it and go to active downloads there’s nothing. And on the Play store when I tap update, it just says downloading and just sits and sits there
[Fire General] NathanCCI:
This is the exact same issue I'm having. I followed the instructions to manually download the files and installed them in order (I thought). Google Play did not show up. So I tried method 2, using the excellent RootJunky's bat file. Apparently I must have missed the 3rd APK on my manual attempt because the bat file failed on the first two APKs saying they were already installed, and then installed the third APK, then failed on the 4th APK saying it was already installed. Now the Google Settings App and Play Store app are both on the home screen. But when I run the Play Store app it briefly flashes onscreen and then closes. Is there a way to UNINSTALL all the APKs and then reinstall in order?

I did it correctly on another, identical HD10 (7th generation) running 5.6.4.0 using the manual method so I'm not sure what I did on this one. I would appreciate any assistance!

EDIT: I went back and reinstalled all the APKs manually, and it worked!!! So I'm leaving this here in case it helps others.

Help. Play store wont download any apps or games

Help please!!

I downloaded all apks and google play shows up on my fire HD 8 . I opened app and signed in with my gmail. App loads

fine shows all content to download, but when I try to download an app or game. I clicked on button and starts the loop waiting to download and it doesn't do anything. I first thought my wifi got disconnected or something, nope. Internet works fine. So I went and clear cache, restarted the tablet and nothing. I clicked on disable find my tablet like someone suggest and forced stop and nothing. I even deleted all apks, use no SDK card and downloaded everything again. Still nothing. Basically I can open google play look at all the content available, but I can't download anything.

This was supposed to be for my son to finally stop using my phone to play games.

1st time I downloaded all apks. And tried to open google play it said google play services needed to update, but that is also the problem nothing can be updated since it wont download anything.
[Fire General] DB126:
When download hangs try toggling airplane mode. If one of the queued apps successfully downloads/installs followed by hang on the next apk you are experiencing a problem that many others have reported with no resolution other than uninstalling/reinstalling the Google Play components. I suggest using the Amazon Toolbox to perform the dirty work as it will install the right builds in the proper order.

i couldn't install

it says install failed
[Fire General] joeldf:
Did you install the other 3 required files first?
[Fire General] Darko$:
Yes, it worked fine, I installed another version, so I had to delete it, before installing this version

another question is FIRE HD 8 (7th GEN) can support fire 6 OS, or any other ROM for android 6 or above ??
[Fire General] joeldf:
Pretty sure each Fire tablet only supports the OS Amazon makes for it. There is no Fire OS 6 for the 7th gen HD8, or Amazon would have already pushed it by now.

You would have to root the tablet to load any other ROM, and I don't know the Android version in the currently available Lineage OS for rooted Fire tablets. You'll have to look in that current thread on the forums.
[Fire General] qajaq1949:
Downloaded and installed all four files as directed. The Google Store icon appears on my home screen, and when I tap it, I'm asked to enter my username and password. I do that, and the tablet (Fire 7) goes to a "Checking info..." screen, then eventually dumps me right back at the "Sign in" screen. My initial sign-in worked well enough that I got email from Google asking me to confirm that it was truly me who logged in from a new device, but on the tablet I cannot get past the log-in screens. Any suggestions?

How safe are the files

Because the age points to them being ripped from android by rooting and at the time people used a pos called kingroot and that in 2016 put malware on my phone like adds and a search redirector

If you only need a few files like Firefox notepad and most free APS then get a old of cheap £10 phone and get the say notepad.apk from that using a apk back up

Most don't need the store and some do but when they see it work okay

Is there a way to get the two files from your own phone as I got two NP its just the system two I can get

[Fire General] ThaDraGun:
I downloaded the 4 apks from a different tutorial I found on Google. Everything installed fine on my son's latest gen firetablet 10 (FreeTime side)

I can open up the playstore and I signed in, however if I try to download something it just says download pending.

I figured the apks were old or something. Then I found this tutorial and I will try to install again, but the ones listed in the first post are outdated as well. Should I try to install what is posted, or the newer versions instead from the links provided?
[Fire General] joeldf:
Google Play should update itself to the current version after a few minutes once you've logged into your account. It doesn't take long.

In fact the Play Store updates itself about every week or two.

I didn't know it would install on the FreeTime side. But, I wonder if the limits of the locked down FreeTime side is what's keeping the downloads from happening from anywhere other than from the Amazon App store.
[Fire General] Redjellydonut:
Hi! I've installed Google Play Store per the instructions and it seems to have gone well. However, Play Store isn't updating to the latest version. When I go to settings and tap on the version number, which is the original version of the installation file, I see a message: "A new version of Google Play Store will be downloaded and installed" with an OK button. I click OK but nothing seems to be downloading or installing and it's been an hour or so. Do you know if there's a way to prompt the new Play Store version to download and install?

Many thanks,

Sam in Austin
[Fire General] bjbirch:
try downloading the apk pure app ,then go to the menu and choose the updates section,there should be an update for the play store ,tap on update to download and install the update, you may have to allow apkpure app permission to download apps from unknown sources
[Fire General] Redjellydonut:
Thanks for the advice. Installed apk pure, then updated play store. Checked the play store version and compared it with a slightly older fire, which I had previously rooted. The Fire build versions of both are the same, the play store versions are identical, but there are still apps, like Netflix and Disney + that aren't available in the play store on my new one. I'm really perplexed because I used the same technique on both fires but my first one works perfectly and my new one is really dodgy.
[Fire General] bjbirch:
try searching for apps like Netflix or Disney+ in the apk pure app if their not available in the Google Play Store

You'll need to be a bit more specific. Do the apks install? Does the play store force close? Does it not connect to the internet or not download apps?

I'm hoping someone can provide some insight. I have a kindle fire hdx 7, OS 4 (4.4.3 to be exact). I've tried multiple combinations of each apk variant to get the Google play store app. So far unsuccessfully. Once I install and open the Google play store app, I'm printed to enter my email and password for a new or existing account. I choose existing and go through the process. At the end I get a message "could not sign in, problem communicating with servers, try again".

[MENTION=8165603]DragonFire1024[/MENTION] might know why or have some ideas about this. I had to wipe my HD Fire 10 2017 suez a while back and lost my original installation of these apps to have Play Store onboard. Then I wasn't paying attention and it updated to some new build of Fire OS. ??

But when I did go using links from the op to get these apks a few weren't available, not the same exact versions anyway...

It would be cool if someone would do a how to on installing microG on Fire tabs!! Just wipe Google out completely. I wonder if the "how to signature spoofing" guide would work on this. Probably would have to be modified idk.

Hey just qondering if someone can help me please. I have the Fire 8 tablet running 6.3.1.5.

Im also wondering is it possible to get the rogers ignite app on this tablet? thanks!
[Fire General] DragonFire1024:
I haven't had an Amazon tablet on stock firmware since we've unlocked and since the first ROM came out or at least someone built Android 7 for it.

Try downloading updated version apk of the play store, and play services, but make sure it is not beta. Keep the Account Manager APK and the Google services framework APK the original versions. You can find them on APK mirror. Once that is done don't sign in right away. Plug your tablet in and leave the Wi-Fi turned on and the screen turned off. Google play should then update itself if needed along with play services. Also maybe you can upload your framework-res.apk and I can look in there for any new restrictions. Also you might want to try settings database manager and look for any settings in there that look restrictive in terms of blocking any services that are related with Google. You will need to have your tablet hooked up to ADB and run the command

adb shell on grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
[Fire General] imon:
I don't know if you got your question answered, but as far as I know there's no easy way to install the play store on the HDX anymore on the latest update. You mention that you are on an older version of Fire OS though, so if you've managed to prevent the update instructions in the HDX forums could still work? I'd be curious to find out since I have an HDX 7 as well.

I pulled out an old fire tablet this week (7th Gen, 2017, running 5.6.8). I had previously loaded the play store which was working find. Now, it works for some but not all apps. For instance, when I try to install soundcloud or ytm, it gives me a "download failed" alert. But the play store has successfully updated apps that were previously installed. Any ideas how to resolve?
[Fire General] lebsi:
Hi there,

I have a Fire 10, 9th generation, and I finally managed to install Google Play store. It works from parent account and I can successfully download from the store. I even managed to sideload apk-packages to show up in FreeTime of my son's profile via "alpha launcher" (from amazon store). However, if I want to sideload youtube kids or teams to show up in my son's FreeTime profile, it still states that google play services are missing.

I tried to sideload also the google-play store apk's but these cannot be installed. If I try to execute/install the famous 4 apk's in my son's FreeTime profile, then I always get "app not installed".

I (cross) read a lot of posts, but was not successful, yet.

By the way, Teams is working successfully from parent profile - but as said - not from my son's FreeTime profile due to lack of google play services ...

If you have a solution (or a link to a corresponding post), I would highly appreciate your help. Thanks.

[Fire General] gergad:
I recently had this very same issue after an OS update. I followed the steps in the main post reinstalled following the steps precisely, but had google play services would not update and provided error code 963. I googled around and found some general steps to follow in the case of this error and one of the recommendations stated:

move the apps to internal storage.

I was confused why the play store apps would be installed to the SD card, but when I went in to settings > apps i found all of the apps described in the original post were on the SD card and not internal storage. I moved the apps to internal storage and cleared all the app data for all of the 4 apps (as well as google play games). I opened the play store, agreed to terms, and got a notification to update play services. I tapped on the notification and play services was able to update with no issue. Play store is now fully functional for me.

I hope this helps!
