Please open the Toolbox's adb folder (Default for the installer is: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Datastream\Amazon Fire Toolbox V6.5\adb) (if you downloaded the zip then please open the directory where you placed the Toolbox's files and then the adb folder) and look in this folder for a Bypass.ds file. If this file is present please remove it and that should get you out of safe mode. You can also run a TBShell by executing the TBShell.bat file in the root directory and typing /sm to remove or start the Toolbox in safe mode. Best of luck and let me know if you need further help! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I would agree. It's important to know what you want out of root. I had a friend who wanted to root because he thought it would make him cool because he's rooted and his friend isn't. Let's just say he found out it wasn't easy and simply decided after hours of attempts to just give up. He's not bragging no more. :p
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
There are many things that you can do with root and perhaps on the Fire Tablets it's indeed worth it. With root you can completely get rid of Amazon and their complete control. But, like [MENTION=5488402]DB126[/MENTION] stated it's important to know what you want out of it before hand. :D

When I delete the Bypass.ds file that is located in the adb folder and then try to run the toolbox, I get the same error messages as I mentioned in my first post about adb server version (40) doesn't match this client..." and then "NO DEVICE WAS FOUND"

Problems with wallchanger

Ran 6.5 on 2 different fire 10s, a rooted 2017 and a fresh new 2019. Had problems with wallchanger on both. Got black wallpaper with app logo and "wallpaper is not set correctly" on both. Having difficulty removing app. 2019 seemed to work initially, but this same problem showed up after reboot. File picker from directory doesn't seem to work. Disable service (from app menu) seems to have no effect. Very frustrating.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Davy49:
All things considered, I'm thinking it's really not worth the time and effort now.

Good choice. Beware of the root junkies that will challenge your man/womanhood if unrooted. :)

Do you know the name of the amazon netflix package on fire Tablet? I started adb and did "pm list packages" but there is no netflix listed. Does it have another name? Where do I find it on the tablet? Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] sonofaresiii:
Hey, I'm having a bit of a problem. Trying to use the toolbox on a HD8 2017, running from a (very, very old) netbook running windows 7.

The GUI of the toolbox runs, but when I try to do anything I get an error that says something is missing and recommends I reinstall (I can get the exact error message if necessary). I see that it says an error is expected and sends me to a video to explain what steps to take....

but it looks like the video has been taken down.

Can anyone tell me what steps to take to get this running? Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DingleBrown:
I've just discovered this and promptly installed it. Works pretty well on my unrooted Fire 7 (7th generation), except as a few others have pointed, widgets don't work.

I've tried both Nova and Evie launchers. I long press the desktop and select Widgets. I then long press the widget and place it on an empty area on the desktop. From there instead of the widget being placed onto the desktop, I am taken directly to the Android settings menu. When I press back or home, the widget is not on the desktop.

Any advice from someone that might've had this problem and knows how to fix it?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] klausb65:
I've had the same error "Device safe mode" I closed the toolbox and open it again, everything was fine then I saw my Fire HD 10

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

Is it correct, there is only the Nova launcher in the package? The other two I have to download?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] bfann21:
So I read through a fair amount of pages, and I'm guessing someone else has had this issue, so sorry if its been answered already. I have 3 fire's and two of them worked perfectly with 6.5. Huge shoutout to dev's working on this. Now of course my issue. I have a Gen 7 Fire 7, and enable debugging, and 6.5 responds back Device isn't authorized, please enable usb debugging. I have reset the fire, tried everything and can't get past this in 6.5. Any help would be appreciated!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Fallon:
Same experience here. I did a few of the add disable things & what not, then the wallchanger. It only shows the error wallpaper now. The OEM menu setting just closes when I click on it now & setting the wallpaper fails after selecting an image.

The stuff to permanently set the Nova launcher seemed to work. But this morning it's back to the crappy Amazon launcher again. Haven't retried or debuged that one further yet.

Won a HD 10 2019 at the Wife's holiday party. Promptly updated it like at good IT professional, then later poked around here & found out that was a bad idea if I wanted to root it. Really not liking the proprietary Amazon funk all over Android. Would love to root it & more permantly get rid of it, but I had to update it. Hopefully one of the root methods will be updated to support the latest firmware here soon.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hello friend,

This likely means that adb is awaiting authorization from you so it can connect to your tablet. When the Toolbox displays this message please turn to your tablet and look for a prompt asking for authorization on your device. Make sure to tick the box that says "Always allow from this computer" and then tap the OK button. This should allow your tablet to connect to your PC. Please let me know if you need further help and best of luck! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yeah, sorry about that. This was done simply because the Toolbox (and its files) have already reached 200MB+, so this has been done to keep the installation from becoming larger. However, the Toolbox will download these files automatically for you and once you download them you can use them how ever much you'd like. :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Widgets is an active issue and will hopefully be working in the near future. Please be patient and hopefully, we can get this resolved... ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I would really appreciate it if you could manage to get the exact error message. In addition, are you using the cmd version or the VB version (alpha build 1)?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DingleBrown:
I'm in no rush. Thanks for all of your hard work, Datastream33! :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Davy49:
Hi,

I surely agree with all of the positive comments in here, just think where we'd be if the developer had never started this project. I appreciate everything he's done) going to do for us user's.

I am now getting the message 'Error: No such file or directory' periodically flashing on the screen of my HD10 (2017). This is after installing the latest version of 6.5. Any suggestions?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] simasher:
Firstly thanks for this kind a tool because I didn't think about buying amazon tablet before here.

I have a one question. I did manage everything amazon/custom launcher/google assistant/google services/Hybrid apps etc. Youtube works really great and plays 1080p but Netflix only plays like an SD definition. However when I check from Test Pattern or Playback Settings I can see max resolution as Full HD. Downloaded some tv series choosing High Quality downloads but it still 270 MB and bad quality.

Does anyone has same problem or suggestion for this issue?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Thank you for understanding. I really appreciate it! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Thank you David!

I really appreciate your kind works! Just remember this project was only successful because of all of the support and kind people here on XDA. Stay blessed and have a fantastic day! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
No problem! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] larryxw:
I have opened the Toolbox multiple times and it still does not read my Kindle Fire HD 10 (2019). For Device it continues to indicate SAFE MODE. :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Please open the folder (where ever you extracted the zip) and then open the adb directory. In this directory you should find a Bypass.ds file. Delete this file and restart the Toolbox. This should remove safe mode. Please let me know if you need further help! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Plug your tablet into your PC. Open the root directory of the Toolbox, and again go to the adb subdirectory. In the address bar (where it shows the current path in Windows Explorer) and type cmd.exe. This will open a command prompt with the working path of adb. Now type the following commands:

TASKKILL /IM adb.exe /F

adb devices

What does the last command output?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] dr_bowtie:
This worked very well in Windows.

I since have switched to Linux so hopefully in the future this does work in Linux :) My firetab hd8 updated to 6.3.1.4 yesterday even with Wifi OFF and no connections saved. sneaky sneaky....
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yo, anyone have the package name for Newsstand on 7th gen and below?

In addition, has the Mopria Print app showed up randomly on anyone else's device?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] darksavior:
Nevermind.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] larryxw:
So I kept the bypass.ds file in the adb subfolder.

After entering the first command:

SUCCESS: The process "adb.exe" with PID 13664 has been terminated.

After entering the second command:

* failed to start daemon

adb.exe: failed to check server version: cannot connect to daemon

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

It worked!!

I decided to UNINSTALL a number of other programs on the laptop. Once I did that, the Toolbox was able to find/recognize my device. Thanks for your efforts to help me figure this out. It works great!! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] tumeric:
I have same issue("NO DEVICE WAS FOUND") and I followed the steps above.

In my case, it shows :

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ayyy! At a boy! :D

Nicely done my friend! :highfive:

Glad you were able to get things rolling!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, it appears the device isn't making a connection. Please make sure adb debugging (or USB Debugging) is enabled in the developer options. If you are on Windows 7 or below additional drivers are required and must be installed.

I would also recommend trying different USB cables, and try plugging the tablet into a different USB port on your PC.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] RealPsygnosis:
Thank you per the super perfect answer I will waiting for the workaround. .. because I really want to change the Nav bar.

Can I ask another question?

I found out that sometimes I wakeup the device and I found that some Amazon app that I have disabled through your tool,became visible again, sometimes (as for silk browser ) I can see the icon but the app is disabled.

Can I block this in some way? I think the system try to call home and restore app through internet.

Thank you
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] tumeric:
Yes! I enabled USB debugging and it worked like a charm!

Thanks a lot!

"invalid number."

I am using version 6.5...modify system settings does not work. says invalid number. Is there a fix/workaround?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] RandallFlagg8:
I have a sixth-generation (2016) HD 8, and I believe the Newstand isn't a separate app; it's part of the Kindle Books app (com.amazon.kindle).

I've had the Mopria Print app long before I discovered your tool. I used your tool's adb shell to hide org.mopria.printplugin.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I don't think there is a workaround as of yet. However, I will be releasing VB Toolbox Alpha #2 which will have the ability to use Modify System Settings without issues/errors. This update is expected to be released in no later then 3 days. Stay tuned! ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
ah, ok. Thanks for the information!

I really appreciate the information and I got to give you a huge thumbs up for the package name of the Mopria Print app. You went the extra mile and I'm grateful for that! Thanks! :good::D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, that's good to know! I forgot to update the Netflix app honestly but I will make sure to do it right now. Thanks! :D

EDIT: Netflix was updated.

Amazon Fire Toolbox V6.5 (Alpha Build 2)

How's it going everyone?

Its time for the second alpha build to be released! In this release I can confirm that all tools on the first page should be working as intended (ADB Shell, Custom Launcher, Density Modifier, Google Assistant, Google Services, Hybrid Apps, Lockscreen Wallpaper, Manage Everything Amazon, Modify System Settings, and Power Options). However, I'm not sure if these tools perform a 100% on generations 7 or below (couldn't test because I don't have a tablet that runs 7 gen or below) so please report any issues as you come across them please. Anyways, tablet detection is now able to detect when the device needs to be authorized but as a result device detection is a tiny bit slower then it was before. This hopefully will be improved upon in the very first official release.

Here is the download link to Alpha Build 2. You can also try downloading the build from Toolbox V6.5 if you've enabled the Alpha Channel.

Remember guys, this is an alpha build and there are likely issues and bugs that can hinder your experience. Please proceed with this knowledge and again if you come across a bug or issue please feel free to share it with me either in a PM or right here on the XDA Forum. In this report, please include the tablet you are using and what generation it is, what tool the error occurred in, and what steps it took to produce the error (what happened and how can it be reproduced?).

As for the installer, I've manage to run it through Virus Total and here is the results, if you are interested.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ForTheEmprah:
Mate, I'm in love with this program after getting my Fire 10, but I have one small problem. As much as I can tell, everything is working with the exception of installing google services. After searching this thread and trying various things, I just cant seem to get it working properly. When I attempt to run the installer, all the program does is say "ERROR" next to the services installation text, everything else runs fine, and it lets me uninstall it without a hitch, hence my confusion. Any recommendations for a fix, or am I better off just getting the apk installed? Just want to ensure compatibility between everything.

EDIT: I've no idea how, but downloading the alpha build and running that managed to install it despite saying the error was still present. confusing but working now. Thanks for the tool.

No notifications from apps

I'm hoping someone could help. I'm not getting Android app notifications. This is for my daughter's Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet (latest generation).

I removed "everything Amazon" and switched the Launcher to Nova. Everything works great. No errors when installing/configuring the Amazon Toolbox for the tablet. However, I'm not getting any notifications from apps. I have notifications enabled in all my apps. However, I'm still not getting any notifications.

Any ideas what's causing this; and, how I can fix it? I didn't have any issues with "Launcher Hijack" and Nova launcher when I had my older Amazon Fire 10 tablet (when Launcher Hijack wasn't blacklisted). Currently, my daughter has to use her old tablet with "Laucher Hijack" to get her notifications.

Thanks so much
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] DB126:
Likely "everything Amazon" clobbered components required for notifications. You will probably need to perform a factory reset and be a bit more surgical removing Amazon content. Give some thought to what really needs to go vs taking the shot gun approach.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
It's hard to say what is causing these issues. Try doing what DB stated in the post above. Maybe, try restoring everything Amazon and see if this fixes the issue. If not, I'm afraid a factory reset may be required. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm just not sure what's causing this to happen :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] mkanet:
Thank you so much for replying. I figured that a full factory reset would fix the issue. I was hoping someone would know which Amazon service was removed specifically, so I can try to put it back. My daughter has a bunch of data from apps currently that she doesn't want to lose. I guess I need to find an easy

-to-use app backup app before totally resetting everything.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Davy49:
Hi,

I've already installed the latest 'alpha' build, I was curious about this one line "Here is the download link to Alpha Build 2. You can also try downloading the build from Toolbox V6.5 if you've enabled the Alpha Channel." I call myself looking for the option to enable the alpha channel, but unless I missed it somehow I didn't see it.

Thanks,

David ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Sorry for the confusion David. I should of been more specific. What I meant was to say was you can try downloading alpha build 2 from Batch Toolbox (not VB Toolbox), if you opted into the alpha channel. If you aren't aware if you download the batch version of the toolbox included in the zip file you can head on over to Update Settings and change the update channel from standard to alpha. This will allow you to use the Toolbox's built in auto-updater to download and install the latest Visual Basic Toolbox alpha builds.

I hope this cleared up any confusion. :fingers-crossed:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Davy49:
Hi,

As always thanks for clarifying that for me, now that makes perfect sense.

David:laugh:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Davy49:
So nice to be able to communicate with not only a intelligent person, but a caring human being ;) By the way..I hope you don't mind, but I'm promoting the toolbox application every chance I get !!

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:

Missing 'Enable ADB' option

Hi everybody I am quite new to all this, short story is that I would like to enable ADB. After opening Developer options, the option of 'Enable ADB' is not present. The first option under DEBUGGING is 'USB debugging'. Enable ADB is nowhere to be found, any ideas where and how I can enable ADB?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hello friend,

Because of changes to Android by Google you are indeed looking for USB Debugging, just enable this setting and you are ready to go! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] wfg97079:
Thanks

So with the alpha I can get to modify system settings, but if I click on the right arrow at the bottom of the screen, it closes the app.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Elemaster55:
Hello!

I apologize for what may be a foolhardy question. I have a Google Nest Mini, and a Pixel 3 XL, and the Google Assistant on those devices will easily pick up the music that I am listening to if I ask it what's playing. On my Kindle, however, if I ask what's playing it will begin to listen for whatever audio is playing and it won't read the metadata tags and whatnot. Would you happen to know if this is due to the version of Google Assistant that this installs, or would that be unrelated?

Thanks!

Donwloaded version 6.5, program says my computer is not in English language, asks for permission to change the registry, then restarts and now my PC doesn't boot

edit: ok, it booted
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Right, I've noticed this and have fixed the issue. This fix will be included in the next alpha release. Thank you so much for pointing this out! I really appreciate it! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
If you are using a different language other then English and you don't want to change your computer's language, I would suggest downloading and installing Alpha Build 2. The Alpha build isn't sensitive to language like its batch counterpart, meaning you can run the Toolbox under your native language without any modifications made to your PC. However, please note that the first page of tools is the only ones working at the moment. All tools will be available soon so stay tuned!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Don't assume your question is foolhardly. A question is a question. Now, I can't say I know 100% of what the issue could be. I'm assuming Its related to a missing component that FireOS simply doesn't have. There are a lot of commands I've noticed that simply will not work because it requires a certain service that it will not find on Amazon devices. Remember, Google Assistant and Play Services as a whole were never suppose to run on FireOS so there are a lot of things that could be causing the issue due to incompatibility.

Like I said, I'm not 100% sure this could be the case and I could be entirely wrong. But, Have you tried making sure Play Services and the Google app are updated to their latest versions?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Elemaster55:
Well, I tried checking for updates, both appear to be up to date. You're probably right about something missing. Alas, the song recognition was the whole reason I swapped to Google Assistant in the first place. Could be worse!
