[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Man, I wish I could help, but the problem you're describing doesn't seem to happen on any firmware versions prior to the dreaded 7.3.2.2. (I'm assuming you're operating on 7.3.2.2.) I'm glad you found a way around it. It usually ends up, with most of us, finding our own way because the instructions are never clear enough and there's always something different about our device than what's described.

Forage onward! We're watching and will help you if we can.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] M973:
Wondering what version you were on (though it may not matter) that it updated to 7.3.2.2 even with OTA updates disabled. Do you know if anything occurred that it was able to push that update through? Wonder if anyone else has encountered that happening (as I'm definitely hoping that doesn't happen to me)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] pandreasen:
Color me Confused.....

Your "spoiler" says "

Enabling ADB Debugging:

Turn on your tablet and go to Settings > Device Options and tap on the Serial Number until you unlock Developer Options.

Find the new Developer Options and toggle it on.

Scroll down till you find ADB Debugging and enable it."

My 10 Plus (11th Gen, ,Ser No. G001 MG06 1421 0GJV, Build No. 0022247240580, running 7.3.2.2 (although it said 7.3.3.2 before opening Developer Options) HAS NO ADB DEBUGGING IN THE ENTIRE DEVLOPERS LIST OR SUB-LISTS.

I don't know if I have something newer, Older, or an oddball! Almost all instructions to do ANYTHING to it, use commands/options not present on my set.

Any help would be SO appreciated!

A reply to email would also be appreciated as at my age I forget to check almost eveything but whether I have pants or not!! (Darn, had to look down and check before I typed that)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings, and welcome to the forums my friend!

I see you have a newer gen tablet. Try looking for "USB Debugging" in the developer options (It was changed from ADB Debugging to USB Debugging). Toggling that on should do the trick! Please let me know if you have any other questions, or concerns. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] pandreasen:
Thanks.

The Scroll down till you find ADB Debugging and enable it doesn't exist, but I thought the USB Debugging was only one of the needed steps. I guess I really am getting too old
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] mattzildjian:
Hello,

I'm sure you have been asked many times but do you think it will ever be possible to fix the problems that arose with version 7.3.2.2? I accidently updated to that version and now I just find it unusable.

Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Demon1982:
Hi all,

I recently purchased a used HD10 Plus it says 10th gen in the options. But it has 4gb ram so I think it must be 11th gen.

Anyway. Its not been updated for a while so the toolbox worked great.

Its not registered with my amazon account obv. But some apps are requiring me to register. Disney plus(the toolbox version also does not work)

Prime video?

I cannot register to amazon if I wanted to as it just won't work probably because its too old a version.

So is there a workaround to get these apps installed and working?

Disney+ is installed but won't allow it to start. Prime I tried to install from play store but won't install.

Thanks guys.

I don't know what version I'm currently on. As I disabled the updates from the toolbox straight away and didn't check.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
It's ok to register with Amazon. It won't affect your ability to block updates. If you can't get Disney+ to work, just uninstall it and load the hybrid app from the Toolbox. You may need to run the Manage Amazon Apps tool in Toolbox to re-enable Shop Amazon so you can sign in. If you need more help, just pm me and I'll walk you through it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Demon1982:
Hi guys, same issue here, managed to get the registration screen back up after restoring the amazon apps.

But after putting in my login information it tells me that the username/password is incorrect. Which it isnt.

Could this be a blacklisted tablet?

Is there a workaround to get it registered?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] irek.187:
1. Hello!

Is it like this avaliable for fireTV stick

or even can we get from fireTV -> fire tablet OS with full play store on TV version?

2. Is anyone willing
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] sandro_rocha_1982:
Good Morning. Is there any way to enable Echo Mode and Alexa on Fire HD when the account is not US? Maybe a way via Fire Toolbox? I tried to change the language and country but it didn't work.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
There's really not enough free space on a Firestick to install more than a few apps so I don't really see the need for Google's appstore. Nevermind the overhead that it would add to the limited memory of a Firestick.

Have a look at ADB App Control to give you more control over what's running on your Firestick. It's a very useful app.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Demon1982:
ok it's confirmed as a blacklisted device. Is there a workaround to get Prime video working with my account? Registering it?

serial number change?

Root?

cracked Prime video apk?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] xdadevelopersacct:
So I bought a few cheap Fire tablets from Woot. I’m having trouble getting the Fire Toolbox to recognize the tablets. I have Developer Options and ADB setup and I bought a fresh data cable to make sure it wasn’t the cable. I can’t get the tablet to recognize the RSA Key Fingerprint. It keeps saying it’s on a lower power charger. I’ve tried USB 1.0 and USB 3.0 ports for both tablets I get the same lower power message. Below are my system configurations:

I have 2 tablets with Fire OS 5.6.9.0 (659658220)

Fire HD 10 (2017, 7th Gen)

Fire 7” (2017, 7th Gen)

Windows 10 Desktop

Intel i5 3.50Ghz

64bit

16gb RAM

Default windows driver for the Fire Tablet

No issues with the USB or USB controller

I’d appreciate any help. Thanks!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blowtorchhonor:
make sure mtp / transfer photos and videos is off, in other words, make sure the cable is "only" charging (adb still on of course)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] xdadevelopersacct:
Thanks for the reply. I switched from Media Device (MTP) to Camera (PTP) with ADB still on and I'm still getting the low power charge only.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I always get that on my computer because the USB port is only reporting itself as having 500ma (2.5W) available power. Everything works fine, though. It doesn't affect the ability of Toolbox to do it's work. I just don't use my computer to charge my tablet.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] soywalker:
Will the toolbox work on a 2017 Fire 10, on sale 11/2018, that had automate installed, script blocking ads, no root, possibly in airplane mode when deregistered and now won't reregister? A novice at adb, fails to sideload .bin firmware using RPI3. Fails reregister with amazon, getting failed password or user name, but can send code to gmail ID address that gets it online but won't allow registration. So, can get into the account via code to email but otherwise useless. Would like to put Lineage instead of awz android.

Looks like a nice automation of Fire modifications. I'll try installing it on a Win7 machine that's had various adb versions attempted.

soywalker

Trying latest version. Deep blue text difficult to read. Keeps repeating no devices found, that's waking up the tablet and it being at the start registration page. Shutting down the tablet I wake in recovery and try adb but no change to the look for devices note. Trying reboot to bootloader, no joy.

Home button not working

Hey, I think I installed amazon's latest update, and now I can't get to the home screen (i'm using nova). I think I'll need to reinstall firelauncher. tried removing all with v4.2. tapping home and recent apps and back do nothing. Any ideas? or do I need to install to factory and start over? I also now can't find hijack launcher...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] drizzt09:
Latest update blacklisted hijack. Latest version of toolbox has a new renamed version

I'm gonna guess that either debug is not enabled or you don't have Amazon drivers installed in Windows. In dev options there is a spot to forget devices. Clear them and then plug in. Should get a prompt to have Windows as trusted device. If you don't get that then Windows and tablet are not talking. That's where the drivers come in
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] soywalker:
Before I deregistered the Fire with Amazon, Developer options and the next were checked, was it called allow from unknown sources or is that something else. I cannot seem to reregister to get to a stage where I can check or reset developer options. So, I'm looking at the registration screen series, which won't allow user name or password, or at the Recovery boot. I considered a new email address somewhere just to get through the registration process but don't think that's the way to go. I did download windows drivers from the link. Perhaps I should reboot. Rats.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, so I'm gathering that you are stuck on the registration page correct? You cannot access the rest of the tablet because you haven't registered, and therefore you can't access Developer Options? Correct?

Can you access Recovery?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] soywalker:
Thank you, yes. I can access Recovery.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
At this point, I would suggest you do a factory reset. I would say the problems you are facing aren't normal and could possibly be resolved by a factory reset. I hope it fixes it! :fingers-crossed:
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] soywalker:
The wipe data/factory reset was done after the deregistration. Or do you mean open the tablet and short the copper spot designated with the blue overlay and follow those instructions?

So, if you mean recovery mode, 3rd choice down, factory reset, what follows to get the toolbox functioning?

Can this be done without registering the device? Is device registration a prerequisite?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] drizzt09:
If a reset is done. Dev options is re-hidden so you need to make that come back to enable debug mode. Whether you need to register to get there I don't know as I have always registered during the startup wizard
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Kctucka:
You can skip registration, and still enable developer options by tapping the serial number. The toolbox should work after you enable ADB debugging.

You shouldn't need to short anything.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Power off the device. Then hold Vol + and Power. You should see "Recovery mode" appear in the lower left corner. Use Volume keys to select "Factory reset the device" and press Power to start. When it reboots and asks for WiFi setup, tap on an access point, then "cancel" then "skip for now." Boom, you're on the home screen. Go ahead to settings and re-enable developer options now.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] soywalker:
Thank you gentlemen. Serial # took 7 taps.

Amazon finally fixed their version numbers.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, once you enable USB Debugging or Enable ADB (depending on what generation you have) plug your tablet into a pc, fire up the latest version of the Toolbox (V4.2), the Toolbox should then ask you to install drivers (if you haven't installed them already, if you have the Toolbox will not ask you to install them), and once ADB loads it will ask you to authorize the computer's RSA key (If I remembered that right) and once you accept you should be ready to go!

However, you are probably already done with these steps and if you are I apologize. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the Toolbox soywalker! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Oh, good! That's great news indeed! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
You are correct my good sir! Thank you for the terrific help! :D

But, yes you shouldn't need to short anything. :p
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
So it IS blacklisted. I take it they refused to remove it from the blacklist for you. I wonder if they do that by serial # or some other number that there might be a magisk module to change. That would require rooting your tablet with magisk if it's old enough to have a working root available. I don't think there is any hacked Prime Video app out there as it's all DRM protected video. I'd look into rooting with magisk and finding a ser # changer module if it even exists.

Hello I appreciate you answered

I will take this app

1. But anyone again any way to get this metod on fire TVstick 2 have full play store on firestick with google play services with any issues??

2. Memory on it you can expand with micro sd card extension adapter

3. Is it possible to have fire OS on a small stick to have tablet experience not only netflix on TVs??
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Just to respond to point #2 - memory on a Firestick is only 1.5 - 2 GB. Storage is 8 GB with about 5 GB available and can be expanded with a USB hub, but it's only USB 2, not 3. It's incredibly slow. I use a 64 GB USB thumbdrive and a hub with mine to run Kodi and it takes forever to start up and to index my movie library.

You are free to do as you wish. You may get better results looking in one of the Firestick threads though. This thread is specifically for Fire tablets.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] flo_tm:
Hi all, please forgive if I make some errors, I am new here .... :)

I searched but did not find anything relating to my situation.

I have a 2017 Fire HD 10 7th gen. still running Fire OS 5.6.0.0. I kept Wifi off since the start after I sideloaded Google apps, Launcher Hijacker and Nova and have been running it like this the last two years.

I sucessfully used FTB to clean up a Fire 8 tablet from the same charge yesterday.

Now I would like to use Fire Toolbox to set up the Fire HD10 a little better, turn of OTA etc. - but I get an error message about a library missing and debugger install failing, see attachment. Using ADB shell I can access the device.

Of course I can do a factory reset and try it again, but first I wanted to ask around. Anybody know about this issue or can give me some tips how to proceed?

- What can I do to fix the issue with missing lib / debugger install?

- Should I use MTP or PTP connection setting on fire tablet?

- Should I use Google standard ADB driver or Composite ADB interface driver?

Thanks and best regards, Flo
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
- Hmmm... since it won't sideload the debugger app, you could try manually sideloading it from page 2 of Toolkit. The app should be located in ℅LOCALAPPDATA%/Datastream/Fire Toolbox V26.1/bin/AmazonDebugger. Mine is 13.1kB and date modified is 17 Dec, 2018. If yours is different, it may have been corrupted during download.

- That setting has never affected my tablet, but for some people it seems to matter. I've seen all of the options recommended with no particular favorite so just try them all until it works.

- If you are on Windows 10 or 11, it should automatically load drivers. I'm on Windows 7 and use the Google driver.

Let me know if you need more help sideloading the ADB debugger. I'm on a 2019 tablet and I believe the Toolbox treats them differently from 2017 models so I'm really not experienced with this.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] xdadevelopersacct:
I still can't get the RSA Key working on this. The drivers are up to date and I've tried just about every combination. I can move files to it. Any thoughts?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
Have you tried revoking and re-aquiring debugging authorization on the tablet?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jhford:
I was running version 26.1 and got a popup saying that I can't disable OTA anymore. Doesn't that completely undercut the usefulness of the Fire Toolbox?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
That would mean your tablet has the latest firmware update from Amazon (v7.3.2.2). It's not a complete loss. Toolbox will still disable most of the bloat and Amazon services you never use. It will also sideload apps and install Google's Playstore. You can still replace Alexa with Google's assistant. (Or shut them both down like me!) The only things they locked out with the newest firmware are the ability to block updates, the ability to permanently replace Fire Launcher, and the ability to remove lockscreen ads (although I'm not clear if you can just disable the lockscreen anymore).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jhford:
Can I revert to the previous firmware and start all over? Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
No. Amazon blocks downgrades. Even a factory reset will return you to the same version you're running now.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jhford:
Do you think you'll fix the OTA problem in the near future?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I'm not the developer. Datastream33 is. He updated his tablet a month or so ago just so he would know how to support the new version. No new Toolbox version has been released yet, so I can only assume that it's a work in progress. There are workarounds, however. You can block updates at your router by blocking the address they come from. You can replace the launcher, but as I understand, it needs to be redone every time you reboot. You may be able to block lockscreen ads by simply disabling the lockscreen altogether.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jhford:
Do you happen to know the Amazon URL that sends out the OTA updates?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] nerdshark:
If you ask Amazon support nicely, they might just disable Special Offers on your device for free. I've done this twice now, once on an old Kindle 4 NT I inherited from a friend, and again just a few days ago on the HD 8+ I just bought.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jhford:
I've also done that several times. But I made my HD8 into a super-duper Android tablet without installing TWRP, rooting it and installing a custom rom. Of course, I can't do a Nandroid backup which I've done for years on my Nexus 7 2013 4G/LTE tablets. So, I don't think it's just a matter of removing the obnoxious ads. I need the Play Store infrastructure so I can install a superseded version of Nova Launcher - the new version isn't compatible with the widgets I use. See attached as an example page. I have 10-15 similar widgets occupying the same number of device pages. So, won't OTA still screw everything up?

[EDIT] I love to simply downgrade to the previous build of 10th gen 2020 that I stupidly overwrote. There must be a way to do that.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
No, I don't, but I think it's been mentioned in this thread. Maybe someone who has the Amazon URL's to block to prevent updates will spot this and chime in. Otherwise, have a look at the search function on the site, and also Google search can work too if you include "XDA" in your query.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
If you just need an older version of Nova Launcher, they have old versions going back to 2014 on apkmirror.com.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] hcour:
Hi. I just bought a new Fire HD 10 a couple of weeks ago. After I used the Toolbox for the "Standard Debloat" I can no longer open the Alexa app. My voice commands work and Alexa responds as normal, but the app will not open. This happened with the previous firmware and now the latest firmware update. I'm assuming one of the apps in the Standard Debloat somehow affects Alexa? I also removed the lock screen completely and installed Microsoft Launcher, if either if those would affect it. I think that's all I've altered with the Toolbox.

The Toolbox is great and much appreciated, even with the new firmware update!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
The problem with any "standard" debloat file is that it removes what one person considers inconsequential. Personally, I don't like using anyone else's "standard" debloat file. I prefer to do it manually by removing the things I don't need and leaving the things I want. I can always come back and manually add or remove things later after I see the results of what I've done.

I think the standard debloat in Toolbox removes Alexa. To find out, go to 'Manage Amazon Aps' > 'Manual' tab, 'Simple (Recommended)' > 'Restore Apps' tab. If 'Amazon Alexa' is listed, check the box to re-enable it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] hcour:
Thanks for the reply. The standard debloat doesn't remove Alexa. I think the problem is that Alexa needed to be updated and I hadn't done that. I even tried removing Alexa and putting it back via the Toolbox but that didn't work, app still wouldn't open. So I did a factory reset. No big deal, I've only had the tablet a couple weeks and still been setting it up like I want it and the basic setup only takes a few minutes. Though I think the Alexa update probably solved any problem, since I'm using MS Launcher and will rarely see the native home screen with all the bloatware, it's really not necessary for me to do a debloat.
