Good evening, I have been trying to get this to work on multiple Fire tablets. I currently have two HD10 2021 models for my kids. I can install all the google apps required and I can log into the play store with my google account. The problem I have is that I can not login to the play store with my children's google accounts. I just keep getting a "something went wrong" error. I have tried every tweak that I can find online but nothing seems to work for me. I have tried the fire toolbox program also and that failed to solve the problem. Is there an app or something that I am missing that is preventing the child's account to be used?
[Fire General] a4000:
I just solved it, kind of.

I had to install it under the main user for the fire.

I had been trying to install it on the 2nd adult account on the device. I installed it under the main user, and it worked.

Any idea why?

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

Also, after downloading youtube on the 1st account, I logged back in on the 2nd account. Play store failed to open a few times, perhaps it was updating. Then it opened and I was able to download just fine!

woo hoo!
[Fire General] DB126:
Great - glad it is working for you! I don't use secondary/kids accounts so can't comment on that scenario. In general always best to run the latest version(s) of Google's apps including the Play Store. Occasionally a glitch slips in but it's usually fixed in the subsequent release.
[Fire General] a4000:
I noticed during the initial sign in to the play store, trying with the 2nd account, it never showed the google services screen where it shows the check box for backups , wifi passwords etc.

Using the main account, it did show that screen. Thats the only difference I noticed. Must be an issue there somewhere when trying with the secondary account.
[Fire General] mattkilla420:
Just used this method on both of my daughters new HD 8 (6th generation) and it worked flawlessly. She did have Google play services crash one time last night but so far so good. Love seeing a way to put this on without PC or root. !

Great job to the OP! ? ???

Anybody has tested to install on OS 5.3.2.1, it didnÂ´t work for me.

Tanks in advance
[Fire General] DB126:
Answer has already been posted. Look back at previous posts over last 72 hours. Always do a quick search before posting.
[Fire General] chechotoro:
Actually, I already did, but the in the previous post, I didn't found an answer that works for me. Because I can install the PS but when I try to open, it says this version its not compatible with you device.

Some of the last file version let me not install, so I took the previous version but the outcome was that I said.

I've run the same process in other fire with OS5.3.1 and works very well.

If you can give an oder idea to install (no root, no pc, no ADB) I appreciate so much

Thanks

Download pending

Hi, I just got a kindle fire and I followed the instructions for the Google play store download. Everything worked, but now when I try to download from Google all it says is "download pending" please help. Also it is a 6 th gen fire 8hd.
[Fire General] nanaof13:
i tried to do it exactly the way you stated, i turned off both grandkids fire and i can not get on the play store. it is just a white screen.
[Fire General] Nyllover:
Hello,

first of all: thanks for the great and easy fix. I was able to install Play Store on my daughter's fire with no problems.

I've noticed now a slightly "side effect" and i'm wondering if there is any solution.

if i go to playstore from my desktop pc, using the same google account configured on her Fire, i can't send apps to it. It says "you didn't install playstore on any of your devices", hence the only way to install apps is to use Play Store directly on her tablet.

Is there any way to fix this? Would be nice to be able to send apps from my desktop as i usually do with my smartphone and other android devices.

Thanks!

Works for version 5.3.2.1

Works with my brand new Fire HD 8 that I got today and Updated to the latest version 5.3.2.1 as of December 28th

Thanks!
[Fire General] dashm:
Works for me as well. Fire HD 8 with OS 5.3.2.1. Had an issue with minecraft PE app though. I have it installed on my samsung tab s2 and nexus 5 and can join my world created on tab s2 device from nexus 5. However when i try to connect to it from amazon fire HD it says "unable to connect - outdated server". Looks like somehow minecraft app is able to determine that i am not running on a google device maybe ? All my devices - galaxy tab 2 , nexus 5 and fire HD 8 are on the same network.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem ?

Never mind..i just had to update the app to the latest version in my galaxy tab s2 and nexus 5. Please ignore my earlier thread about minecraft server error.

I've downloaded all four files but when intry to install them next to the 'cancel' theres a 'next'. scrolling down turns it into 'install' but when i tap it nothing happens. Is there a reason/easy fix im just not seeing?

Get app on child's profile?

The instructions to get Google Play worked perfectly. I downloaded what I needed, but now I can't figure out how to give access to the app to my child's profile. Any suggestions?
[Fire General] Nyllover:
How about the not easy solutions? :)
[Fire General] DB126:
Google is your friend. People do 'stuff' (eg: delete/readd Google account; uninstall/reinstall Play Store, etc.), somehow get it working, claim they have solved the puzzle yet others can't duplicate. I have yet to see a solution that is reliable.

I am currently running 5.3.2.1 OS for the newest fire tablet 8. I have been able to install all apks and get the play store to work initially. However, after updating the play store and re-opening it I only get a white screen and it never loads. Has anyone figured this out?
[Fire General] DB126:
Suggest uninstalling all components, reboot and then reinstall versions in OP. There really isn't a need to regularly update Play Store for basic functionality. As for root cause - the Play Store is not designed to work in isolation of other Google services. Would not be surprised if a dependency was introduced in the latest build. Speculative...but seen it happen before.
[Fire General] Sidd1286:
Hey Gilky10. Thanks for this info! It is much appreciated, however, my Fire HD 8 (2017 ver: 5.3.2.1) will not install the Google Play Services 10.0.84 apk. The apk will download but fails to install when I attempt to. Any suggestions?

2017 and Still Works!!

I wanted to say this worked as advertised! I now have Google Play Store on my Kindle Fire and I am so excited! It makes the Kindle just that much better of a device!! woohoo! :victory:
[Fire General] patchouliandcolt:
I was gifted a Kindle 8 5.3.2.1 which is frustratingly not yet rootable. I couldn't do anything with the kindle market. Thank you for putting this in an easy reference.

---------- Post added at 03:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------

Are you unable to click the install button, or is the install failing? If you can't click the install button, restart the kindle. This finalizes the third party app setting you enabled.
[Fire General] R3NIK:
Ever since adding the Google Play Store and Framework, the table gets horribly laggy after a few hours. All I have loaded are Directv Now, Instagram, Clash of Clans, and Clash Royale. All other apps are from the Amazon App store.

A reboot fixes it, but it's quite frustrating. Battery life on standby is also pretty bad. I'll lose 25% per day.

Anyone else have thoughts/experiences with this?
[Fire General] DB126:
Not at all unexpected. Google components often host persistent background processes/services (leaches) that eat at performance and battery endurance. Apps can also install their own durable services. Similar Amazon components are already running on your device which is why custom ROMs feel some much more responsive when first installed. Nothing is free in life; some of those background services aggressively collect usage data which feeds the big marketing machines known as Amazon and Google (among others). All spelled out in the terms of service that you, I and just about everyone else clicks through during installations.

confirmed work on unrooted Fire HD 8(6th generation) Fire OS 5.3.2.1 , but first time lunch was crash.
[Fire General] G0ldengirl68:
This is great, looks like I finally found a clean instruction (complete) rather than moving around between literally 3 pages of "how to";) Thank you.

Question is, I have version 5.3.2.1. Fire OS. Just bought the new 49 dollar Fire Tablet 7". Will these instructions work with that version?

Any help appreciated,

Thanks again, denise

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

Ok, now I'm confused. Mine says it's a 5th generation, but cj has my version in a 6th generation? Do the upgrade without notifying me? I've just had this about a week, my fire tablet 7.

What is Lunch crashed? Is that the launcher? And what did you mean cj, when you say it crashed? I'm just learning so apologies for not understanding all terms/lingo.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

Since I only want to read books on my Fire OS, Version 5.3.2.1, would I run into these problems? I may do a "search" on google, or check my email. But I didn't plan on games, movies, or anything else. If I'd researched better, I would have realized the Fire Tablet is not like my older Nook Tablet. The Fire is trying to perform everything my laptop does, and I didn't want that anyway.

Anyway, I suspect I won't run into many issues if I am just reading books, and I only use it about 2 hours before bed each night. Feedback appreciated. I want Google Play on there mostly to get rid of Amazon's "stuff". Why didn't I buy another Nook? Good question, except I did, then found out it had the ADUPS spyware on it, and they tried to get me to "wait" until they supposedly had a fix for that mid January. Some folks said that once the Nooks had ADUP on there, they never truly come clean.

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

To the OP, (since I can't quote with the outside links)

Those first 2 files have the same link, but different names?? Do I still need them both?
[Fire General] DB126:
Just follow the instructions; everything will be fine.
[Fire General] G0ldengirl68:
It did install the playstore, but I am a bit confused by those directions, and thought I found a way to "easily" understand the directions to install Google Playstore, a new launcher, and all I need to rid the tablet of Amazon ads. I viewed how to geek and his blog/site actually led me here for another file I needed besides the Nova Launcher, his recommend:

how to install the google play store on your Amazon Fire Tablet

how to make your 50 dollare fire tablet more like a stock android

The file that led me here was: The laucher hijack apk. Sorry, I'm so new I'm not allowed to put in links.

All I want, which may be a lot or too much, but I still am hoping, is the ads to be gone "for free", Google Playstore to take over, and no more AmazonStore. More stock Android.

Can you help with the latest "way" to do this? My version may not work with all of it. But I can't find answers, except at How to geek, and his are very convoluted, not in order. Like it will tell you to do something, then on down the page, your told, oh yeah, and grab this file too or that.
[Fire General] DB126:
Reread the How to Geek articles which I find to be reasonably well written. Then browse through posts in this thread. Think you will find both are helpful. If still confused you may want to ask a tech-savy friend for assistance or consider another device that natively supports Google's Play Store.
[Fire General] G0ldengirl68:
Ok, I think all the info I need HTG does have, it's just not written in order. I will have to go through and figure out 1-10 step in order. I do appreciate your reply. It's helpful to just have someone that understands what I'm talking about. Denise
[Fire General] G0ldengirl68:
Thanks again, to all on this thread. I decided the OP instructions were all I "really" needed. It's enough to have Google Playstore on there. I got rid of the ads by paying the 15 bucks. I read you can hold down on any popup ads I guess, and disable those as they happen.

There is one thing I can tell you all about the original post here, you don't need to download a File Manager in the Fire Tablet 7, Version 5.3.2.1. There's an icon called Docs from Amazon, and that's where the files went, into the download folder. So Documents>Local Storage>Download. From there, click them in order (1st one installed to last)and cursor down to the bottom of install page, and bottom right turns into install button. Follow the directions, and it will tell you when it's installed. Click on done, not on open.

WORKS: Fire HD 6 (4th Generation)

Wow, didn't expect it to actually work on an old 4th gen Fire HD 6 (5.3.1.1), but I now have Google Play Store running after following the OP's instructions. I was looking for something I could mount to a DJI Phantom controller and leave it attached, figured it was worth a shot to bring purpose back to this Fire HD 6.

So for anyone wondering if this will work with older generation hardware, it sure do.

Install Google Play Store Fire OS 5.3.1.1 No Root/ADB

Thanks for making getting the Play Store super easy. I had been trying for the past 3 days, without luck, doing it by installing ADB and Fastboot. I was ready to pull out my hair. After finally deciding which File Manager program to download - I am OCD so I am

very

particular about the programs I allow on my computer, phone, tablet, etc. - the entire process took about 20 minutes tops.

Anyway, thanks again.
[Fire General] DB126:
If you opted for any of the ES Global offerings best reconsider (intrusive advertising & background processes). My choice here but there are may other fine offerings paid and free.

Google on my Amazon Fire - Install tab will work

Hi Folks - Please Help -I have the FIRE 7inch $49.00 version - I have downloaded the 4 APK's - And tried to install them through the ES File Manager - But it just directs me to the Amazon screen where it asks you if you want to install and then gives the info and then you have the Cancel or INSTALL tab - But when I tap it, it will not hilite or work. - It worked fine with other things I downloaded. - So I am guessing that Amazon has gotten wise to this method and won't allow the install??? - Anyway around it??? - Thanks - Becca

Same Issue

I am running OS 5.3.2.1 on the Fire 8HD and I also am unable to download the apk files with download pending msg - work on my PC though !! Seems Amazon have blocked downloads from these sites - any feedback or workarounds known?

Cheers

Alka
[Fire General] DB126:
Unrelated to Amazon blocking activity (cough) if referring to Play Store stalling on downloads. This behavior has been reported on various devices from many different vendors, including an aging KitKat gizmo in my portfolio. Seems related to a botched Play Services/Store/Framework install. I have not pursued a solution but suspect misaligned versions and/or missing components are a likely trigger.

Question (im a noob)

I'm trying to download gmail and ect but it says i have to update the google play services but i cant update it through the tablet , and for some reason when i activate the google store i get a white screen is that normal or do i need to find a update for it . Oh and im running the 2016 version of the Fire HD 8 any help would be great Thanks!!:)
[Fire General] DB126:
Others have experienced this; read through the thread for possible solutions (search for 'white'). Most likely a full uninstall/reinstall will fix it. Keep in mind some apps expect the full suite of Google services to be installed.

installing issues

I have a6th Gen. Fire HD 8 running OS 5.3.2.1 and I have tried the above instructions after 1st trying other instructions which didn't tell you that you had to download a file manager. Regardless, I have downloaded the 4 APK files but I can't install anything. I tried both ES File Explorer File Manager and OI File Manager but I can't install either of them. It's like my install button is pure decoration. What do I do?
[Fire General] sd_shadow:
ES file manager has become junkware at best, don't use it

Probably need to factory reset and start over
[Fire General] DB126:
To further this ES File Explorer includes a 'download manager' (cough...) that continuously runs in background and appears to interfere with some installs. Experienced this personally. Won't go so far as to claim blocks are intentional but clearly the unnecessary/umcommanded 'service' is getting in the way.

Parent company ES Strong was sold to another entity in 2015. Things have been going down hill ever since. Look elsewhere.
[Fire General] JaylanPHNX:
This is incorrect (not the part about ES Explorer, it is crap). No need to reset, just reboot after changing the setting to allow third party app installs so that the setting will take effect.
[Fire General] DB126:
For clarity ES File Explorer should also be uninstalled. There are reports of installation weirdness continuing even after the above setting was changed and device rebooted. Removing ESFE supposedly curred the problem. Can't verify those reports by I can confirm ES File Explorer interferes with various downloads/installs including automatic updates to XDA Labs. As for the necessity of a 'factory reset' I certainly understand the guidance as one never knows what path the device has traveled (especially if rooted) prior to attempts to install the Play Store. At minimum it should be considered a reasonable fall back if other steps fail to resolve the problem.
[Fire General] jclu52:
First, thanks to OP, I successfully installed Google Play on my new Fire tablet.

I also have the same tab, and I updated it to the latest OS 5.3.2.0 while I was following the instruction in 1st thread to download the APKs.

I upload the APK to my OneDrive. I installed OneDrive from Amazon App Store (free). I also download Total Commander from Amazon App Store. I then download the 4 APKs from OneDrive to my Fire tab. Open Total Commander to locate the downloaded APKs. click on 1st APK (com.google.android.gsf.login_5.1-1743759-22_minAPI21(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk), 2 options - Install / Open as ZIP. I choose Install, the tablet asked me to turn on "Install from Unknown Source" and took me there. I did that and install the rest three other APKs in the following order.

Please note the order have changed a bit. 2 and 3 needs to be swapped

com.google.android.gsf_5.1-1743759-22_minAPI22(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

com.google.android.gms_10.2.91_(240-144333517)-10291240_minAPI21(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

com.android.vending_7.4.12.L-all_0_PR_144479971-80741200_minAPI14(240,320,480dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

Once it's done, I fire up Google Play and it prompts me to Login. I clicked on a few yes and Google Play store is there.

Hope it works for you.
