That worked, thanks so much!!!You need to place the file in a pre-existing installation. Meaning if you have Toolbox V14.2 installed you need to place the micropatch in that directory. Default path for installations is: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Datastream\Fire Toolbox Vx.x\
Where the x's above represents the toolbox version (example 14.2)
Fantastic! The downloads are now working correct?That worked, thanks so much!!!![]()
Yup, installed the play store and am waiting for the suggested 10 minutes before using it.Fantastic! The downloads are now working correct?
That's wonderful to hear! Thank you for the report!Yup, installed the play store and am waiting for the suggested 10 minutes before using it.
I've tried 14.3 and it worked (downloaded the "PlayServices-9.0_x32.7z") and installed the apps, but while cleaning up, the toolbox deleted the file "GoogleServices.7z", so on my second tablet, installation failed.Micropatch out![]()
One step at a time I suppose. Thank for bringing this to my attention, and I'll be sure to look into it.I've tried 14.3 and it worked (downloaded the "PlayServices-9.0_x32.7z") and installed the apps, but while cleaning up, the toolbox deleted the file "GoogleServices.7z", so on my second tablet, installation failed.
I was able to reinstall the toolbox (which restored "GoogleServices.7z") and install the Google apps on the second tablet, but observed the same file deletion happening.
Looks like something's off in your cleanup logic.
Other than that, good work!
It is working now for Fire HD8 (2018). I have installed Google Services now.Alright, here's the download link to the Micropatch. Download the file, and put it in the Toolbox's root directory (replace/overwrite if asked). Let me know if you can download Google Services now or not.
Oh, that's so good to hear! Thanks for the report!It is working now for Fire HD8 (2018). I have installed Google Services now.
Why, thank you so much! It overjoys me to hear that you're enjoying the Toolbox and what it has to offer! Thanks for taking the time to share your appreciation, it really does mean the world to me!@Datastream33 I wanted to do a double thank you for putting this Toolbox together. Double because after I used it to set up a tablet for my three year old great-grandson, I went in and ran it on a Fire HD 10 that I'd set up myself and had been using for a year, and danged if I wasn't able to get rid of Launcher Hijack and a bunch of other stuff I wasn't crazy about and add in a few more hacks I didn't even know about before.
Keep up the good work!
High Five Datastream33,Ok, I've updated the links for V14.0 to include all micropatches and bugfixes. Please let me know if you come across any other issues. I also want to thank you guys so much for being patient and so understanding when it comes to the mess that V14 brought. In addition, thank you so much for providing the command outputs... It really helped immensely! YOU GUYS ROCK!![]()
Using v14.0 just downloaded this morning that shows build date today (4/8 12:22am)I think maybe Datastream33 should include a note about disabling OTA updates either in his first post or in the Toolbox itself. Every time Amazon pushes an update, everybody who didn't disable OTA updates flocks to the forums and complains that they had to run the Toolbox again.

Since the tool was broken yesterday, I used v13.1. Now how can I update? the button shows 'Google services (manage)' instead of 'Google services (install)' What have you done?I am very happy to report that based on the latest release (V14.x) that I am able to successfully uninstall and then reinstall/update Google Play Store on 2 devices -
has been keeping my/our devices as current as possible, was done via V13.1 before
Don't sweat it, dude - we all appreciate your hard work. You'll figure it out, I'm sureHmm, 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.![]()
If you need Google services asap you can go to apkmirror.com and download the needed apk's ( i will leave download links from apkmirror.com for the apks you need below, install them in the order listed) (apkmirror is a safe place to download apk's from)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.
I can provide the correct files for Android 9 and send them your way if you'd like.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.
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.
High-five right back at you my friend!High Five Datastream33,
have been following this thread for a while now and can say you are a great Dev and seem to love what you do.
my very first fire tablet arrived yesterday and i just downloaded the freshly updated toolbox v14 .
i read all the hints and just let it guide me.
its like magic, the good type.
now my tablet is bloat free and great and it only took a few clicks.
thank you so much Sir for your great work!
