Yep, this worked for me. On Fire HD 10 2019 with 7.3.1.2 :

1) forget all WiFi networks

2) airplane mode

3) copy the update file to /sdcard ( update-kindle-Fire_HD10_9th_Gen-PS7319_user_1726_0020367982212.bin )

4) enable OTA updates via the Fire Toolbox

5) check for updates - it loads the file above

6) after it updates, disable OTA updates via the Fire Toolbox

7) reboot the tablet (just in case)

8) airplane mode off, input WiFi password again

Now running 7.3.1.9. People with the older tablet batch could downgrade from 7.3.1.8 to 7.3.1.0 and root, and there appears to be no fuse burning in 7.3.1.9 ROM. So if your tablet is downgradable, you should be able to retain it if you go to 7.3.1.9

See this for details:

Thanks. Which column tells if it's a system app? ODEX? Amazon Ecosystem?

And there are mostly warnings and "not safe", but don't see anything on it saying anything is safe.

Hi David. Is there a way you can do a step-by-step of how to this in the Automate app? I can't figure it out and your help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Btw, on Windows 7 in classic display mode I get an invisible color combination. Switching to Win7 Aero mode gets the contrast back. See the attached files.

Great tool, been using it for awhile.

I have the Fire HD 10 new one that I'm using and have a question about backing up the tablet. I see under system settings, device options, backup and restore. If there is a problem and the tablet is replaced or factory reset does this option restore the tablet to pre problem, and is this option a good one to use?

or

Does the backup that is in the Toolbox 29.2 do the same thing and is it a better choice since it is a local backup?

Just a heads up, amazon is selling certified refurbished hd 10 2021 tablets for $68. Maybe will be cheaper on black friday, but not a bad deal IMO. I picked up a Denim one back in July on Prime day and it had the desireable 7.3.2.1 firmware. YMMV

I have Win 8.1 and when I plugged in the Fire, the ADB driver install window popped up and progressed for a long time but FTB still sees nothing connected. What should I do? How can I verify ADB was installed? I've tried switching ports, turning USB debugging off/on, rebooting PC.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Slickone_:
BTW, the FTB micropatch wouldn't install for me from FTB. Clicking OK shuts down FTB and installs it, but it always failed. I had to run the Updater separately for it to work.

Also the Updater fails trying to load FTB when the update is done. I think it's looking for the wrong version. FTB loads fine from its shortcut.

Last, please disable adding shortcuts to the desktop every time FTB is loaded.

dose the google play store ever update

?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings, and welcome to XDA my friend!

Play Store, and Play Services should auto-update themselves in the background. You can double-check (and force play services to update) it's updated by:

Tap your profile picture at the right of the search bar.

Select "Settings" from the dialog that appears.

Expand the "About" section.

Tap "Update Play Store".

If Play Store isn't up-to-date, it will download and install the latest version. Hope this helps! :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yeah, the first two issues are known problems with the Updater and are aspects that need to be improved. My primary focus is on the Toolbox port at the moment, but the Updater is something I plan upon fixing very soon. As for the shortcuts, you can turn them off by manually editing the Toolbox's Settings.txt file.

The Settings.txt file can be found in the following directory: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Datastream\Fire Toolbox V29.2\bin\Settings. From that directory, open the Settings.txt file in Notepad, and change "TBShortcutMade=0" to "TBShortcutMade=1". Save the file and close it. That should prevent the Toolbox from creating shortcuts on startup.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
After installing the drivers, you'll need to manually update the driver software to point to the ADB driver that was just installed.

Try following this guide to get it setup:

Greetings, and great question my friend!

It looks like the Backup & Restore option in the settings app backups/restores the following to/from Amazon's servers (according to Amazon):

Device settings.

Network settings (can include network passwords if allowed).

Silk bookmarks.

Installed apps (potentially only ones installed via the Amazon Appstore/DeviceSoftwareOTA).

Email configurations.

The Toolbox's Backup and Restore tool backups/restores the following:

Settings database keys from the "Secure", "System", and "Global" tables (some system settings and other values)

Internal Storage (every file/folder on the internal sdcard).

User Apps (does not include app data).

Package States (disabled/enabled apps list).

The Toolbox's backups are local (and can be stored on a cloud server), while I believe the Amazon backups are only stored in the cloud. So, It depends on what solution you want to go with.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
The first column is the name of the system app, the fourth column is for if the app is safe to disable/hide or not. "Warning" I believe is the best indicator. It basically means it can be disabled/hidden safely, but may break some other apps.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, interesting. Does this occur with the other themes as well?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me. When I open Fire Toolbox with my Fire 7 12th gen plugged in & the tab in USB debugging the toolbox wont open & I get an error of

"Daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037"

"Failed to start Daemon"

"Abd.exe: cannot connect to daemon"

I assume it is because the only step I cannot do on the guide is the first step of unchecking the box? Meaning this only works on new tabs not ones already used?

Hey guys, I'm new to this tool. I've disabled the OTA updates, but the Fire Toolbox can't enable it back. I don't get any warning or error message.

I gotta be missing something obvious. I click System Updates on my HD 10 11th gen and it does right back to the Settings screen. If I toggle Automatic Updates it works.

Hello All, I have the 2022 version of Amazon Fire 7. Like everyone else, I wanted to install Google Play Store. So I installed the latest Fire Toolbox, and install the Google Play. Everything went fine and the Google Play was installed. But after reboot, I tried to open it, it crashed. I rebooted a few more times, and it kept crashing. I uninstalled and deleted all the files. Then I reinstalled again. The result was the same and it crashed. So I have the Google Play on my Amazon Fire, but I have never reached to the Google log-in page. Anyone has any idea to resolve this situation?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
Sorry to disappoint.

There is a fundamental incomparability between the new 12th Gen Fire tablets (2022 Fire 7/8s) running FireOS 8 and the Google Play infrastructure ... They just won't work together. Sadly, there's no immediate resolution in sight.

An alternative is the Aurora Store which runs an alternative "Google Play-like" system which allows access to the Google Play Store apps but does not require Google Play code. Like Fire Toolbox, it's an X DA dev project and considered experimental and used with appropriate caution.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Jumbo100:
Hi ... Glad you had a successful FTB install and mod.

1. Yes, you can still use the Amazon AppsStore ... you will need it if you want to use Amazon-branded apps like Prime Video. But there are several cautions. Do not install same apps from both AppStorre and Play Store ... that will invariably cause app conflict.

I would suggest that you download the apps you need from the AppStore first ... they are specifically coded for the Amazon infrastcture and are fully supported by Amazon. This would include all the major media streaming and social media apps. Some apps such as Netflix, Disney+ are only available from AppStore. Uninstall any previous "overlapping" apps from Play Store before installing from AppStore.

I tend to install Google Play apps only when not available on AppStore.

2. Yes, you can register your Fire tablet to your Amazon account. The initial FTB install protocol directs you to avoid connecting to Amazon servers (ie. turning off wi-fi) until FTB mods are setup, specifically disabling OTA Updates where possible.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Davy49:
I've found that the aurora store to be a valuable resource on my fire 7 2019 release version tablet. As I posted here in the fire toolbox forum a short time ago, for some reason I got the rather dumb idea to perform a factory reset on my tablet. And since I'm an older male (73+), I failed to remember not to let the tablet connect to wifi, so I received the latest edition of the fire os firmware. Actually matters could be a lot worse than they actually are, thanks to the use of the fire toolbox I've been able to disable some of the amazon items that I knew I wouldn't be using, but at least so far I've yet to perform any kind of debloating because it seems like whenever I go that route something that I'd prefer to have functioning normally doesn't. As other forum members have stated, at least so far I'm unable to change my homepage to anything other that the default one from the fire os. I had previously purchased a inexpensive 7" android tablet on amazon but was so disappointed with it I quickly returned it for a full refund. I guess for the time being I'll just have to be satisfied with my lg velvet 5g android phone that's running version 12 of android & my fire 7 2019 release version with the latest fire os installed on it.

Having an issue installing FTB on my Fire 10. Had google services installed for a few months, a Fire update hit a few days ago, now I can't download anything, factory reset my tablet because nothing else worked. However, upon trying to download FTB Google Services I get "Hmm, looks like the download has failed. The download link could be dead or temporarily disabled. Please try again later". But it's been days. I've uninstalled and reinstalled FTB, I've used it with and without the micropatch, nothing works.

Thank you for your help. I tried searching this topic, but kept getting weird results instead.

Legacy FireOS code for FireStick / FireTV ? From FireOS 5 ?

OK. Please hep.

First time, I messed up as my new HD10+ got upgraded.

2nd time I stopped the OTA, and installed ftw

it installed ok.

Installed a Micro$oft launcher, got my google apps all ok bUT

I saw in a previous post I will need to run the amazon appstore in order to load the

kindle app and have it run.

tried to install kindle via the amazon appstore.

I get a message "your fire is currently not registered to an amazon account:

before you can use this feature you must log in to your existing amazon account or create a new one.

So: went over to manage my devices on amazon:

And I found my device, but it shows that device is offline, and (ads- are on)

Neither of which are true.

I will add pictures from my status screen too...

oh, and the device name is greyed out. and cant be changed on the tablet

Same here. I haven't done any FireOS updates in quite a while and I was a few versions of Fire Toolbox old. I was getting a message when trying to open the Amazon Shopping app that the app version was no longer something something lol.

So I decided to hook mi FireHD 10 (2021) and re-enable OTA updates to get the latest FireOS (yeah I know lol). After Toolbox updated to 29.2 I then tried to re-enable OTA updates, but the slider never stays Enabled in Toolbox...goes right back to Diabled.

Anyone have the solution short of resetting the device to factory default and starting over?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
To answer both of you, first you need to delete any versions of Amazon apps that you tried to install from Google or Amazon or any other app source. Then you need to re-enable the apps you would like in Toolbox under Manage Amazon Apps > Manual tab > Simple (recommended). You will need the apps you want and Shop Amazon in order to sign in.

Shop Amazon will probably not work and will forward you to your browser. Have a look at my signature at the end of this post. I have a few updated apps pulled from an updated version of FireOS. Download the app(s) you need and install over the existing app(s).

That should get you up and running. (y)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] bluestang:
Thanks for the reply @blaacksheep !

In the meantime, using the v27 of Toolbox let me re-enable OTA updates.

Updating now...I'm a glutton for punishment! (but also like to tinker when I have time so I'll live with the issues with updating to latest FireOS lol)

Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
You'll be sorry you updated! It is possible to turn on OTA updates even with v29.2 of Toolbox. I've described it in a couple of cases to others. You just have to go into Manage Amazon Apps > Manual tab > Advanced option and enable it there. The problem is that the update sucks! Your tablet will not be the same. It will work, but will now suck. You are much better off just updating the apps with the updated apps in my signature than updating FireOS itself.

If you've allowed FireOS to update through OTA, then you will not need the apps in my signature. They are for those that have not allowed their tablets to update.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] markbnj:
Thanks again for tips

Am I uninstalling like normal from the settings/app menu?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Yeah. Just uninstall anything from Google or Apkmirror or any other place that you tried to use to update any pre-installed apps. They won't work with the pre-installed but disabled apps. Uninstall them normally, then re-enable the Amazon pre-installed versions that you want. Then update the pre-installed apps from the files in my signature.

Having a bit of a struggle with Google Apps. Most of them seem to crash out within a few seconds of launching. Have done a total factory reset on my new Fire HD 8 2022, had some issues not being able to sign in to Google at all. Last attempt managed to but still Chrome and Play Store etc crash out to home screen within a few seconds. Have done the usual force close, clear cache, clear data etc but it doesn't seem to help. Installed Opera GX and that seems to be more reliable, just seems to be GApps that has the problem. Similarly with GBoard it's constantly reminding me to update play services despite them apparently being up to date

Unless something drastically changes on Amazon's end, there likely won't be a solution anytime soon.

Hi, and welcome to XDA!

It was me who posted links to the updated apps that don't work without OTA updates. I just checked on my older tablet and the updated app still works fine. Did you install the updated app(s) in my signature? If not, have at 'em! (y)

Edit: It's possible that you updated your Shop Amazon app with a Google Play app, or an Apkmirror app, or some other app from somewhere else. It is best to remove those apps first by uninstalling them or removing updates to the Shop Amazon app before installing the updated app in my signature. There is a second Shop Amazon for tablet app in Google's Play Store that also should be removed first. The other thing to look out for is Play Store updates. You should disable auto-updating in the Play Store settings. Google will try to update your Amazon apps and will break them. ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] markbnj:
1) first you need to delete any versions of Amazon apps that you tried to install from Google or Amazon or any other app source.

Mark says .. Tried to uninstall kindle from apps menu, where you normally see force stop and uninstall. (blacksheep said :this was because it was uninstallable fire app...

OK.. so just reinstalled shop amazon, and...pause (unlike first time I tried to get to the manage device page) it did let me in.

after finally getting in, It did take me to the browser (fyi the duck.duck.go.com browser does not work with that), but 'good ol' firefox got me in fine.

once I get to the browser, I can go to manage your content and devices, and shows de-register. below that under device health, it say device offline...

So, I am going to now try and re-enable the kindle store, using the manual install feature

re-enabled, (and rebooting again for clarity)..

trying kindle app again.

Your device is currently not registered to an Amazon account Before you can use this feature you must log in to your existing Amazon account or create a new one.

..Same message.

Going to look for blacksheep's api's in his .sig... to try and reinstall kindle, as it didn't show up on the restore file

ok: mark here again.

to summarize, after enabling G-apps, and using FTB to disable updates, you need to

a) download the special apps that blaacksheep has in his .sig file

a1) to get that click on his name to the right, then click again, and then you should be able to see his .sig file or just go here; https://xdaforums.com/m/blaacksheep.10902211/about

2) then use ftb to MANUALLY re-enable amazon apps.

I re-enabled kindle, amazon shop,

THEN,

3) I used the FTB to sideload the kindle, shop amazon apps.

4) I then used firefox (duckduck.com browser didnt work..)

and I signed into amazon, and went to https://www.amazon.com/hz/mycd/digital-console/contentlist/apps/dateDsc/?pageNumber=1

or the "Amazon.com: Manage Your Content and Devices" page

5) then I de-registered my device, that showed it was offline.

6) I then registered it again, and it device showed online after a momentary refresh.

THIS also allowed me to be able to change my device name, and view everything in my account

hope this saves someone else the trouble and aggravation...

now if only we could easily root these puppies...
