This is not working on my Amazon Fire HD 8 + Fire OS 7.3.1.8 I'm getting the following result:

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings and I apologize for the late response!

Please give these commands a try:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota.override
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Certainty, I'll see what can be done! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] danonaba:
I just tried these 2 commands with the following result:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota

Package com.amazon.device.software.ota new state: disabled-user

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota.override

Package com.amazon.device.software.ota.override new state: disabled-user

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>

After this I tried to manually check for updates and got the " Check for updates failed".

EDIT*: I noticed I made a mistake while tried to run the second command, updated the results.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Nicely done! Just re-execute the second command again:

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota.override

You should be good to go after that! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] MrZaku086:
i have that error, i dont know why i have no problem instaling the custom laucer etc... is there a solution?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jbryson16:
Hi, thanks for your work. I’m having a couple issues. My hd8+ is running the latest fire Os and I’m using toolbox v14. Google maps isn’t locking in my location. When I ask for directions it searches for GPS. If I’m driving and ask for directions it’ll place me streets over from where I am. Also none of the amazon apps were removed or hidden on my device. Lastly OTA updates will not toggle off. I’ve tried executing the different options multiple times. But issues persist. Could you offer any advice? Please and thank you.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] TheRealRandomGuy:
Damn, i need help please, since i used the remove lockscreen and complete debloat of Amazon Fire Toolbox my device says that parental control is enabled, i also cant see my Notifications, cant access my quick settings and i would want to have back silk browser, thanks in Advance.

Its the Fire 7 2017 (7th gen.)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jbryson16:
Thanks for the info! So the tablet won’t work for gps. That’s a shame. Any ideas why the debloat isn’t working?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] MrZaku086:
ahy idea why i cant install google services
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Most likely due to a path error. I'm working on a fix and it should be pushed out fairly soon.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Unfortunately, the Toolbox doesn't update Disney or Netflix if they are already installed. However, this is actually a really good idea and I don't see a reason why it cannot be added. Perhaps, in the next update? (after the micropatch)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, sounds like the user_setup_complete setting may have been tripped. Let's try changing it's value and see if that resolves issues with the notifications and quick settings not working. Please open the Toolbox and execute an ADB Shell. Next try these commands:

exit

adb shell settings put secure user_setup_complete 0

adb shell settings put secure user_setup_complete 1

Changes should take effect immediately upon execution. As for the Silk Browser please use the Manage Amazon Apps > Manually Hide subtool to unhide Silk Browser! Please do let me know how things go, and don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Yeah... :(

Hoping the micropatch helps with the extraction issues...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Looks like the download failed, but the file remains. I would recommend opening the Google Services directory for your installation (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Datastream\Fire Toolbox V14.0\bin\Google Services) and deleting the PlayServices-9.0_x32.7z file. Deleting this file will force the Toolbox to re-download the archive (and hopefully allowing you to install Play Services). Please let me know if you need further help.

By the way, a micropatch will be deployed soon to hopefully help resolve issues with play services not extracting properly (just so you know in case you come across this issue).
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, so it seems there are some issues with OTA Updates not being toggled off correctly. Could someone please help get me up to speed so i can understand better what's going on? Is the switch not working?

I'd like to fix this issue before deploying the micropatch if possible! Thank you in advance! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Greetings!

Could you please execute the Manage Amazon Apps > Manually Disable subtool, select any app, and hit the "Disable Selected" button. Would you kindly share (if any) the text that appears in the console after the debloat process finishes? Thank you! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] danonaba:
I don't know why is not working but i was able to debloat my tablet using adb shell commands manually. you just need to know the full path of the app you want to remove like:

adb shell:

pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.kindle

NOTE** Do it at your own risk and only if you kwno exactly what you are doing.

Admins: feel free to edit or delete this post if i'm breaking any rule.

Today I used toolbox 13.1 with my Fired hd8 2015. I installed Nova launcher, then proceeded to use the first option (non-hijacker) to disable the Fire launcher. I then rebooted the fire and noticed I had lost my wifi. So I went into adb shell and typed in the command pm enable com.amazon.firelauncher. Rebooted. Now I don't get any home screen, just the wallpaper which flickers constantly. Wifi is back thankfully. I'm kind of stuck. Would like to go back to my previous arrangement where I had Nova launcher and Fire launcher but device is not cooperating at all...home button doesn't work I can only access Nova by going into recent apps and click on Play store, go to Nova, and click "open". Can anyone help me get back to something, even if just the Nova launcher? Many thanks....
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Really? That's strange! I'll look into it and thank you for the response my friend! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jbryson16:
Thanks for replying!! I uninstalled and reinstalled the toolbox with no luck on getting it to remove the amazon apps. I did as you asked in the attached picture. Please let me know what else I can do to help figure this out. Thanks again!!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
You said you have a fire hd8+ 2020 tablet correct?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, found the issue and corrected it! This should fix OTA not being disabled, Google services failing to install, and debloating not working on HD8+ devices. Micropatch being deployed soon!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, the micropatch has been deployed! Please let me know if it fixes the issues with OTA, debloating, and Google Services on HD8+ devices! Thanks guys!🤞
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jbryson16:
Correct. Latest version of fire os.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok perfect, thank you for the confirmation.... and the screenshot! Just based on the screenshot alone something definitely was wrong! Because you have a HD8+ the Toolbox should be disabling and not hiding. What was happening is the Toolbox was detecting your tablet as a 7th gen device (I must have stupidly and accidentally changed its value or something) and because the method for older gens doesn't work on the newer gens nothing was happening as a result (this effected debloatting, disabling OTAs, and downloading Google Services I believe).

Anyways, the micropatch deployed yesterday should have hopefully corrected this issue. Could you please download the micropatch (if you haven't already) using the Toolbox Updater and let me know how it goes? Thanks so much! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jbryson16:
Thank you! Just updated and the tool did a complete debloat and turned off OTA. I didn’t have any issues with google services that I know of. But I’ll report back if I notice anything. Cheers😁
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Oh, good! That makes me so happy to read! Glad to see everything is now working as intended.

Sorry, for the inconvenience and I hope you have a wonderful Saturday my friend! :D
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] vientito:
apology first if this is off topics. after i use firetool on my system, i notice two unknown icons on my screen. I have done search but could find nothing relevant. i hope someone can shed me light on these two. One pops up once in a while on top right of system notification. it shapes like a compass arrow and only appears for a few seconds and gone. A typical navbar layout only have 3 icons: left arrow, home button and an apps view button but mine has an extra one on the bottom left corner. it shapes like a house and inside have two toggles, left one pointing up and right pointing down. i click on it but see no visible changes. no idea what it is
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
As for the other icon, I've seen that on my tablet too. I believe it's just an indicator that something (Google, probably) is requesting location services. Since these tablets don't contain GPS, it gets it's location information from your IP address and by the WiFi signals available to the tablet. Google's Street View truck in addition to taking pictures, also records all WiFi signals and maps them when it cruises through your town, giving it a fair idea of your location by your neighboring WiFi signals.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] lewmur:
On most tablets, you have the option to choose "none" when choosing the method to unlock the lock screen. Then you can then turn the screen off and on without seeing the lock screen at all. Is there anyway to accomplish this on the HD 10 9th?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
That option has just been added to the Toolbox V14. It's under Lockscreen Management, and it's the third option - Disable Lockscreen.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] thefire8472:
I can confirm that the latest micropatch fixes the identified issues in the 8+. Unfortunately, it took me a little while to realize the micropatch update dialog was telling me it needed to download something new to get it applied! That's what I get for my bad eyesight.

Thank you for this great tool! I'll definitely use it from Linux if that feature ever arrives, I hate having to drag out my Windows laptop. I really appreciate the all-in-one since it means I don't need to spend weeks reading forums to become an expert, and instead I can just debloat my tablet and move on with enjoying it.

However, the "disable the lockscreen" isn't working for either my Fire HD 10 (9th gen) or 8+ (10th gen). It opens the lockscreen menu, but then says "This confuses me! It looks like your devices lockscreen is already disabled. Weird." - my lockscreens were both set to the default swipe-up. I can of course just select "none" from there, but still a small barrier to the automation. If it helps, neither of these devices have had much of anything done to them, one was immediately out of the wrapper.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
I think the issue with the Lockscreen Remover was that different device types all give different responses to the commands issued by the subtool and DataStream33 had to try to get most cases covered. At least the subtool brings up the hidden dialog where you can choose the hidden option 'None'. Otherwise you have to use a 3rd party tool like Activity Launcher to get there.

I haven't any idea if Toolbox would run under WINE, but it may be worth looking into. I know it runs under Virtualbox, but that's a lot of overhead just for running the Toolbox.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Unfortunately, i don't think the Toolbox will run under WINE as there are a lot of calls that i don't think wine yet supports. However, i can say something is in the works for cross-platform. More information as it develops! ;)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Ragnarr_Thorsman:
Hey guys. I'm sure this has been answered somewhere in the thread, but once I have updated the toolbox, how do I update things on my tablet? Like Netflix or Disney, get the big fixes in place from the new toolbox updates? If you can link me in the thread where it explains this or just relay the info, I'd really appreciate any assistance.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] blaacksheep:
OK first off, I don't have Disney or Netflix so this is only a best guess based on what I've been reading here. That said, I believe in order to update you need to uninstall the previous hybrid app version using the Toolbox, then re-install the newer version of the app, again, using the hybrid app installer in the Toolbox. I don't know if you need an older version of the toolbox to properly uninstall the old app, but I don't think so. I think it's just uninstall then re-install with the latest version of the Toolbox. Anyone who's done it before, please chime in! 🍻
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Kellicros:
Hello all, I will be receiving my HD8 today, here's a question, I usually do an OTA update on my new devices (if there is any), will this break the toolbox's compatibility ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] lewmur:
I agree. But in addition to adding bloat, there are also more attempts to block the ability to remove the existing bloat. They have already blocked the ability to unlock the bootloader and root the device. I have no doubt that a future OTA will disable Dev mode to keep users from using the Toolbox.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Kate84:
Not sure if this is the proper place to ask, mods can move if it's not.

Getting extraction failed when trying to install google services with the toolbox 14.0 on my 9th gen fire hd 10.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Kate84:
Thanks, but no joy.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] mirek54:
It is not any option to uninstall Netflix using Toolbox. I have uninstalled Netflix manually and now cannot install it with Toolbox - got error failed to install.

I am using Toolbox with patch installed v.14.1
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ciB89:
I have an issue with the tool. When downloading the Google Service stuff, the tool crashes (the file which it has downloaded is then corrupted). I removed the file and tried over and over, but it crashes every single time.

Is there a way to manually download the needed files as a workaround for now at least?

I used version 14.0 and 14.1, both have the same behaviour.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] TEK112:
Looking for a little help. I have the 14.1 micropatch. App crashes when extracting google services. PlayServices-9.0_x32.7z hits about 308k and crashes. Then reopening and reapplying shows 2 7zip failures.

Thanks in advance.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] TEK112:
Haha...guess we were typing at the same time.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jackbox12:
exact same problem here im getting an error about 7zip failure. i tired to redownload and re installation and still error persist.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] dsldsl999:
Also had problem with 14.0/ 14.1 on Fire HD 10 2019.

The update from 14.0 to 14.1 caused problem with the settings file missing. Put 14.3 in folder and it load up fine. However, trying to install Google Play Service crashed and closed the program. If reopen the exe I got 7z problem extracting.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ciB89:
Where did you get 14.3 from? Try removing the downloaded file and redownloading it with 14.3
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] bhamz03:
I also get the same crash when trying to install google services.

Clicking OK I get the screen below.

Thanks
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Hmm, the archive should at least be 40mb. Perhaps the download link has expired or was inputted incorrectly. Ok, I'll look into it. Thank you for the report.

Man, this has been a disaster. :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] CommieColin:
Don't sweat it, dude - we all appreciate your hard work. You'll figure it out, I'm sure :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] jackbox12:
thanks, i bought the fire hd and the lenovo duet. i really want to save money and keep the fire HD but i really need the google services. hope this gets fix soon.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Trina9:
Just tried this yesterday on my Fire HD8 (2018) and it I have two issues.

I cannot find a way to get my Kindle Books at all. No app and no way to install it. This is a major problem for me, since my husband reads on it.

Disney+ is not able to be installed

Thanks for your help.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I can provide the correct files for Android 9 and send them your way if you'd like.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
I still need to pull the Disney and Netflix updated APKs so I'd be more then happy to pull them and send you a link for download. As For the Kindle Books you most likely need to restore the Amazon Newstand app using the Manage Amazon Apps > Manually Restore subtool. That should allow you to access your kindle books.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Trina9:
Disney+ would be fine, I don't have Netflix.

I'm going to try that as soon as I reboot my Fire. Knew that it probably was something dumb.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Trina9:
Did that, still cannot see my Kindle Books. Not in Newsstand.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] toledosucks:
any news on playservices not extracting? ive tried manually installing it and i cant seem to get it to work
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Trina9:
It finally showed up. Takes a while.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Ok, I've attached a .zip file containing the latest version of Disney+. Feel free to extract the APK and install it via the Sideload Apps tool or manually with adb:

adb install Disney__1.14.1.apk
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Can you access your Kindle Books now?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Could you supply your tablet's Android version? I can provide a link to the correct APKs, I just need to know the android version and architecture.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] Datastream33:
Thank you so much for your understanding and support. It really does mean a lot! :D

I just don't believe its an issue with the Toolbox itself... but the hosting platform where the files are being downloaded from. Anyone know of any quality file hosting platforms?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] toledosucks:
yes. hd8 2020(10th gen) version android 9

yes it looks like a corrupted upload
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] toledosucks:
double post accident. cant delete

Fire HD8 10th Gen 2020

All works except Google Play services

Here's the error im getting

Edit

upon checking actual file PlayServices-9.0_x32.7z it appears to be corrupted download, the file is only 300kb and is not accessible unlike GoogleServices_Extras.7z which is good 71mb
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ChaseTatsujin:
Yup, fixed the debloat and disable OTA update, now I have the same error trying to install Google Play Services on my Fire HD8 10th Gen
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Android Development] ciB89:
Could you also provide me with the files for Google? Got a FireHD 10 9th Gen (I think it's also android 9? I just bought it)
