Ok, please see my latest post. It includes the instructions on how to properly setup the drivers. Hope this helps! :D

EDIT: I've also updated the Getting Started tutorials to avoid any further confusion.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] rharris2669:
Didn't help. I have downloaded 3 different versions from the primary, mirror and zip locations and get the same result.

It's like the characters are white on white. On the welcome screen it is white characters on a tan background.

On the main screen just white.

I can click around and get the Device Information screen and can get a Pull Buildprop which runs great. I click on a screen and got it remove amazon apps by guessing.

Would really like to be able to use the full resource.

Do you happen to be on Windows 7? Also, do you have access to another computer you could try?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] crashnburnMDA:
I will be trying the above steps. Just one last question - At which step (in between, before or after) above steps is the INSTALLATION of Toolbox SETUP?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] rharris2669:
Got a brand new nothing but windows install laptop, same results. I don't know what is going on, think I'll just toss the tablet and get a different on.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Install the Toolbox and open it. If it asks you to install drivers click the "No" button. Then proceed with the steps to manually install the drivers. Best of luck! You got this! :fingers-crossed:

As I was going to start I used

DevMgr

USBDeview

to clear out existing entries for a fresh load..

FYI -

Found these entries and uninstalled them using USBDeview:

I think they might be related to ToolKit 7.0 when I first attempted to install Fire & ToolKit.

Finally. It detects via Toolbox, but when Toolbox started it popped this up in addition to the Win 8.1 Driver Message:

DS- Thank you and appreciate the one on one help. What part of the planet you in?

Also found the YouTube video of yours later with these steps :) SO I DOUBLE APPRECIATE your writing it out.

https://youtu.be/AyjnYSU39HI

Did this and denied the "built in win 8.1 drivers install" - Is this trying to do automatically what we DID above MANUALLY with a fine toothed comb?

Hmm.. the post-op cleanup. Thanks TRIPLE.

PS: I did the Ad-block mod. I am trying to figure out which others I want and whats best for me. PS: In the enhanced youtube there's 3 options. IS there a comparative of the 3?

Also, I wanted the DUAL Alexa & Google Asst, hack but Toolkit apparently does a replacement?

Can I use ToolBox to transfer my Bookmarks ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Unfortunately, i don't think so. However, if you use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox you should be able to sign in and sync your bookmarks. Hope this helps! ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] :
Thanks for providing this software development. It has really helped me get the most out of my Amazon Tablet. I would like to make a future request. Could you please develop a method for making the Amazon Tablet Device To Read SD Card/External HD Storage Format Fat32 or NTFS? My tablet only allows Fat.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Cueweq:
Hi,

Will it work on the new Fire HD 8 (2020)??
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] dascoco:
And what about Fire HD 8 Plus?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] skidog83:
Infected link?

I just download this (7.1) and everything was fine until l I enabled USB debugging on my device. My antivirus (Bitdefender) said it was a threat and quarantined it. I read above where you addressed the issue that impacted the installation tool. However, has 7.1 been compromised as well.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Sharp_K:
Hello! First of all, I didn't install Google Play Services using your app. I did it manually following some steps I found on this forum, because I didn't know then of your awesome tool. So far, everything has worked great with this setup. Now that I've said that, how can I remove a google account? When I go to the play store and click on "manage accounts", it redirects me to the "Show Mode" tab in settings. Is this the normal behaviour or it's probably caused by the "faulty"/wonky manual installation I did? Thanks in advance for your response, and thanks for your tool, it does wonders :D

Edit: my device is fire hd 10
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ritchea:
FWIW, my 2019 Fire 10 and 2018 Fire 8 both read a 2 GB flash drive formatted Fat32. I just double checked that. When I tried to use a 128 GB flash drive, Fire 10 notified me that the size wasn't acceptable (or something similar) then came up with 'needs to be formatted msg'. I formatted it in the Fire 10 and it's available to use.

Tablet: Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus 2020

Device's codename: onyx

Thank you for this tool, can you please add support for this device
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] AmznUser444 Dev:
Hey [MENTION=8560782]Datastream33[/MENTION], Amazon is launching a new Fire HD 8 and HD 8+ (10th gen, 2020), codenamed onyx

You can add these new Fire HD 8 and HD 8+ into your Fire toolbox?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Generation 10 isn't supported at the moment. However, I'd be more then happy to add support for them if you'd like. Could you please provide me with the device's codename? If you need help finding the codename:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I'd be more then happy to! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Alright, fantastic! Thank you for the information and I'll do my best to add support in the next update! Stay tuned! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I can assure you it is a false positive. The VB versions of the Toolbox shouldn't have been effected by the same virus from the batch editions as they weren't compiled on the same infected machine. For some reason, the Toolbox (pretty much just the installer) keeps getting marked for no reason and I cannot figure out why. Out of curiosity, what file did your AV quarantine? Was it the installer or the Toolbox itself?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Thanks friend! Glad you find the Toolbox useful! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
hmmm, I will look into it and see what can be done... ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] skidog83:
I deleted the item because I had a feeling it was as you said, a false positive. However, I will try and download it again tomorrow and if it repeats itself, I will certainly get back to you. Thanks for your timely response.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
You might have to login to your Google account on a PC, and visit the Security tab and sign out of the account on the device from there. If you don't want to do that you could try clearing the Data and cache from Play Services using the Toolbox (you can find this option in the Google Services (Manage) tool), or you could simply uninstall Play Services and re-install (can also be found in the Toolbox in the Google Services (Manage) tool).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Alright, sounds good to me. Please do let me know how it goes. :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] skidog83:
I actually forgot that I used a different laptop and have the information you requested. It quarantined 6 items...

ToolboxUpdater.exe

ApkInstall.exe

AFTB_V7.1_installer.tmp

Amazon Fire Toolbox V7.1.lnk (Listed twice)

Amazon Fire Toolbox.exe

I hope this helps. Btw...based on the info, do you believe it is still a false positive.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Is it flagging the files as the installer is extracting them? Because the .tmp file belongs to the installer. As to why its flagging all the other files I'm not entirely sure... I'm still leaning towards a false positive. Maybe try downloading the zip archive of Toolbox V7.1 and try scanning those files with your AV.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] :
What I really want to do is attach my 1 TB External HD to my device formatted as fat32 or better. The External HD has all my audio files on it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] joonj:
Hey Datastream33,

Just want to say thank you so much for this tool, people like you are why I love XDA!

I hope you don't mind but I made a video to help some people out that aren't as tech savvy as most of us here are. I hope this helps you get a few more donations! :)

The Video:

Keep up the good work!

Much Thanks,

Jon
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] gwallace:
I just registered to thank Datastream33 for his impressive work. I will be soon buying new fire hd 8 2020 and this tool will definitely be handy! looking forward the update

also wanted to thank joonj for your tutorial, quite easy ans straightforward!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] skidog83:
No, once everything was extracted, I plugged in my device, enabled USB debugging and that's when the AV flagged it and started to quarantine the items. It was at that time I minimized my browser and noticed the toolbox icon was gone from the desktop. I will do as you suggested and see how that goes. If another issue arises, I will let you know.

I sincerely would like to thank you for doing what you do and developing tools such as this one. Be safe.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ritchea:
I replied to this yesterday morning but must have missed SUBMIT. Or, it was kinda off-topic so may have been deleted??? There is a free 2 day version of an app called exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software that is a plug-in used with Total Commander file manager app. It definitely did read my 128 GB flash drive formatted NTFS. I was also able to play music on my tablet (2019 10" or 2018 8"--don't remember which one I was using) from that drive. Maybe this can help you.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] houzjunkie:
[MENTION=8560782]Datastream33[/MENTION], First off let me say it's very awesome all the work your doing on this tool and working on making tablets more useful. :D Thanks!

I followed your steps to prep my tablet (HD8 gen 7) and installed the Amazon Fire Toolbox v7.1 on my Win10 Home 64bit pc. I got to the part where I ran Toolbox and after a few seconds, Toolbox closed. I've restarted my tablet and my pc and still the same happens. I got no error messages during my pc detecting my tablet or during the install of Toolbox. Has anyone else experienced this?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
What's up Jon?

Thank you so much for taking the time to make the fantastic video! It was very professional and well thought out! In addition, I see you are also very active with the comments section. I appreciate the video man and I can see a lot of people did as well! Keep doing what you do! :good::D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Wow, registered just to say thanks? I really REALLY appreciate the gesture! Anyways, welcome to the forums and thanks for taking the time to register to show your appreciation! :good::D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hey, thanks for letting me know. I've contacted Bitdefender and submitted a false positive. Just waiting to hear back from them.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yep, exFAT/NTFS will definitely get the job done! Thanks for the help [MENTION=4248278]ritchea[/MENTION]!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
hmm, I guessing there is a loose connection, and the Toolbox is auto-closing because it can't the tablet anymore. Do you happen to have another cable on hand? Maybe try a different USB port on your PC?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] skidog83:
No problem, you take the time to develop these tools and getting back to you is the least I could do. I do have one last question regarding the custom launcher. I want to use Nova and I noticed that you made it a downloadable option in a drop down in the toolbox. If I were to check off "disable Fire launcher", how would I go about enabling it again if I chose to for some reason in the future.

Best of luck with Bitdefender.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
To re-enable Fire Launcher its as simple as firing up the Toolbox, heading on over to the Manage Everything Amazon tool, choosing the manual Restore Everything Amazon subtool, checking the box for Fire Launcher, and clicking the Enable Selected button. This will restore Fire Launcher. Hope this helps! :D

In addition, thanks! It may take some time as Bitdefender only lets you submit one false positive at a time. :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] skidog83:
Yes, helps indeed. Thanks again.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Awesome! Glad to be of assistance. :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] houzjunkie:
I did try two other cables and even rear USB ports on my desktop and it did the same. Each time though, the tablet was visible in file explorer.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] joonj:
No problem mate, the video only exists because your tool does :) I'm just starting out and I'm finding it so cringe filming myself haha!

Thanks, you keep doing what you to do!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] joshuaboston:
So I've used tool box 7.0 a few weeks ago. Everything works except....

It will not allow me to install Amazon Prime Video.

I did what was recommended... I never updated this tablet.

My mistake was that I first took off EVERYTHING amazon and then I added back certain items, again Amazon Prime never got added back regardless of what I do.

Should I reset my device and redo everything? and only disable the apps that I do not want (not the end of the world)... or are other people having this same issue? Also my Kindle app while works, it only shows books that I have already purchased and does not allow me to search for new content (again, no big deal since I only have a few books purchased).

Thank you in advance for your help.

ALSO... different subject, do you know how close they are to get Lineage working on the Fire HD 10 2019? This is my end game with this tablet.

Does this toolbox permanently disable OTA or does it need to be reapplied within a specific time? I really want to connect to my WiFi hotspot without worrying about Amazon's OTA eating up my data plan.

I'm going to use this on a FireOS 5.6.0.0 HD 10(7th gen) btw
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] sw674954:
Hi. First off, thank you for developing this.

This has been working great for me for the past month. I purchased two more Fire 8 tablets last week and set up one them last week with no issue. Today, I went to go set up the second one and now I am getting the follow error. Could not find ......\Local\Datastream\Amazon Fire Toolbox V7.1\adb\Gen.txt. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the toolbox. But i am getting the same error. Not sure what happened. Any help is appreciated
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Thanks! I'll try my best ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I will add it to the to-do list. ;)

Do you have a fire hd 8 2020?

If so, he hasn't added support for the 2020 fire hd 8 or HD 8 plus

Just add a blank Gen.txt file to that folder. The program works fine after, well you have to add it each time you start it.

[ANNOUNCEMENT]Status on Amazon Fire Toolbox V7.2 Update #2

Alright, so it appears we are having issues with Bitbucket again.

However, this issue not only effects me but it also effects everyone on the platform as well. But, I have no idea what is going on...

Because of this issue I'm not able to update the Toolbox today as planned, which sucks because I was excited to bring you all the new update. I'm still a little upset about it but hey what can you do? So, I'd like to share with you all the plan for V7.2 if the Bitbucket issues aren't resolved by tomorrow. I planning on uploading the Toolbox to Mirror #1 and 2 and pushing the primary downloads through Mirror #1 (Mediafire). However, without Bitbucket the Toolbox's built in updater cannot retrieve the new update, meaning the service will be offline until the issue is resolved with Bitbucket.

Something else I noticed is that files can still be downloaded from the repository but they cannot be added. So, that means the tools that rely on downloads (Hybrid Apps and Custom Launcher) should still function.

I know you guys are eager to get a hold of the new update and debloat your new tablets. I'm trying my best and like stated, the update will ship tomorrow (Sunday) through the Mirrors 1 and 2 if absolutely necessary. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and I want to thank you all for being so patient with me! :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] BOBdotEXE:
Quick Question, Does any of this change system files?

I was mainly looking to:

-Install google play

-Change launcher /wallpaper/lock wallpaper

-Install YouTube Vanced

-set up netflix/disney+

And I just wanted to make sure, that if something goes wrong, I'll be able to just factory reset (from standard recovery) and clear everything.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
The Toolbox doesn't touch any system files and all changes can be reverted through a factory reset or other means. Hope this helps! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] gwallace:
Hey man! No issue at all, this is not your fault! We are all eager to tweak our tablets, but we Will be patient. Thanks a lot for the update and for the tool. Hope your cert exam went fine as well!

Take care!

So, I turned on my FIre Tablet and I don't know what happened but somehow I must of left automatic updates on cause it just got updated to the newest OS 7.????

The only app that does not seem to work now is Kindle (but I actually don't really use this).

Should I be worried? I hope I did not take away any chance to install Lineage in the future.

Question, if I reset the tablet, will it stay on this new OS version or will it revert back to the one I got when I received the tablet?
