so, I updated the toolbox to the latest build and when I try to run it I get the error that says that the debugger is unable to install and the toolbox can't run Is there any 'fix' for this? Yes, I've run a previous version to 'hack' my fire tablet but want to see what other options there are that I may want to enable. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated
I think it was version 11 that I initially used, then upgraded to version 13 and now have the latest installed on my laptop. When you say 'uninstall', do you mean from my laptop or tablet?I had no problem updating from the 18 version. What version did you have previously? Could totally uninstall then try again.

Just wondering if you meant squished in portrait? The only used the two spaces because I’m predominantly in landscape and it looks fine for me.If you have problems with the spacing in landscape mode, like it's all squished together, try leaving out the first 2 and last 2 "spaces" in the command.
I meant landscape. There were a couple people with problems. It was just something to play with if you had any spacing issues. Since that post @Datastream33 has released v19 of Toolbox and added some things to the navbar tool so you can play with the spacing there too.Just wondering if you meant squished in portrait?

Ah, okay. I noticed there’s been a new release. I’ll take a peek soon!I meant landscape. There were a couple people with problems. It was just something to play with if you had any spacing issues.

What's going on guys?
I sincerely hope everyone is having a great weekend so far and it only continues to get better!
Tonight, we have the release of V19.0. Without further ado... let's jump into the details of what makes V19.0 a worthy successor to V18.1!
...
I'd just like to add that I never noticed the double dots on the top right of a couple of subtools. There are a couple of hidden tools there that people have asked about. It would be a good idea to make the second page and those hidden options more noticeable @datastream. Otherwise, good work on the new version. I like.Thanks for the new release! I just tried it out on my HD10 2019 and had some observations:
...............
Finally, Menu 2 is really difficult to notice! I had no idea all those features were there if I didn't randomly click that little arrow beside the lower box with the device name!!!! Maybe some text with that arrow to say next page or more features etc?
Greetings and thank you for the feedback!I'd just like to add that I never noticed the double dots on the top right of a couple of subtools.

I used the Toolbox for the first time yesterday and installed the Aurora Store and remove screenlock. IIRC, I had to choose between signing in with my Google account or as Anonymous. I chose Anonymous. Now I find that my File Manager app (which I use to send books to the Fire using FTP) will only start FTP File Sharing if 'Anonymous' is ticked. If I untick it then there is no option to 'Start' the FTP.
As far as I can tell the Fire does not have a User called Anonymous. What do I need to do to keep the Aurora Store and get my FTP sharing back to being password-free? Thanks.

Hello I have used V33.1 and I have a few problems, I have a fire kindle 8 2020 and I can’t disable fire launcher, (I am using Microsoft launcher BTW) also I am trying to restore a backup (made on fire toolbox) to my kindle 7 2019 but I can’t seem to find the backup I made on my kindle 8 to restore it on my kindle 7 plz can you help me.
(If my problems are fixed in the latest version,I can use it as I’m on holiday and I don’t have any Wi-Fi)
FTB is not designed as a full system backup utility; it basically just backs up the device "configuration state" . A full system backup requires system root access , which isn't available on newer Fire tablets.
I don't necessarily see a problem with restoring the 2020 backup onto a 2019 model (they both run Android 9). However, I would HIGHLY advise against restoring the 2020's settings database onto the 2019 as there are some keys in some of the tables that could result in a soft brick if changed. But, if you're just trying to copy the apps from the 2020 to the 2019 then I say go for it. Just make sure to create a backup on your 2020 with ONLY the user apps option selected (make sure to name it something simple like "UserApps_Backup" for easy identification later), then restore that newly created backup onto the 2019 tablet. Here's how:Backups can be restored to a different device IF it's the same model and firmware version. (I.E. you have 2 Fire HD 8's that are both the same.) If you try to restore to a different model or year, you'll have to keep your fingers crossed. It might work, but don't rely on it.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING FIREOS 7.3.2.2+ AND THE TOOLBOX (PLEASE READ)
If your tablet is running FireOS 7.3.2.2 or above please note that some functions of the Toolbox may not work due to new restrictions in the new firmware. The following tools either do not work or have limited functionality:
• OTA Updates - OTAs can no longer be disabled, but can be restricted.
• Manage Amazon Apps - Some system apps can no longer be disabled.
We're looking into workarounds to the issues detailed above. Please keep an eye on the forum for further development.

The Toolbox won't display correctly. The window is pure white and the text is faded. How can I fix this?

My Home Button isn't working after using the Custom Launcher Tool?Due to the way the process works, it alters your navigation bar's home key to send a key event that can be picked up by Automate. Once Automate reads this event, it launches your custom launcher automatically. However, if the flow in Automate isn't running, the navbar key will not work, and nothing will happen when it's tapped. To fix this, either open Automate and start the "Launcher Invoker" flow again, or execute the Custom Launcher tool in the Toolbox, click the ":" icon (upper-right) to show the Tool Options panel, and click the "Restore Navigation Bar" button to restore the stock layout. You can execute the "reset_navbar" (without quotes) command in the ADB Shell tool.
Google Family Link won't work on my tablet?Unfortuently, no matter how hard we try, we still haven't been able to get Family Link to work correctly on the tablets. The Family Link app fails to install, and the Child account refuses to login. No matter what we tried, we couldn't get a Child account to work on the tablets.We believe this has to do with missing dependecies, and the tablets not being certified through Google's Play Protect platform. We're still activly looking into getting the issue resolved. Until then, it's recommended that you use an alternative such as Amazon's FreeTime, Eyezy, or another third-party family managing software.
How can I remove a Google Account from my tablet?Because of the missing accounts section in the Settings app it will be a little more difficult to remove Google Accounts directly from the tablet. The easiest way that I've found is to visit this page: https://myaccount.google.com/security, sign-in to your Google Account, scroll down to "Your Devices" and click the "Manage devices" button. From the list of devices find your tablet and in the upper right-corner click the 3-dot icon and from the list select "Sign out".
Can the Toolbox be used to root my tablet?Primarly, rooting a Fire Tablet requires the user to open the back of the device and short out a certain point on the motherboard. The Toolbox has been designed for folks who'd rather not bark down this alley. It uses the power of ADB to make changes, and is meant to be an alternative to rooting. In summery, the Toolbox isn't designed to root.
The Toolbox is being marked as a virus?This is likely because the Toolbox (and it's installer) aren't signed with a software license. This freaks Windows out because it sees that there is no publisher, and as a result it displays a warning (smartscreen). In addition, some anti-viruses might also flag the Toolbox as a virus simply because the build is relatively new and there is no record of it in the anti-viruses database, resulting in a false positve.As always, I take your security and privacy VERY seriously! If you do not feel safe with installing the Toolbox due to virus concerns, I respect and support your decision. It is always up to the user and their judgment!
