[WINDOWS/LINUX][TOOL]Fire Toolbox V34.0

[c-f-g]

Some things to check/try:

• As suggested earlier, check your cable or try another cable.
• Verify that USB debugging is enabled on your tablet.
• Set your USB connection to File Transfer in Settings > Connected Devices > USB.
• Check your computer under Device Manager to make sure there isn't a driver issue. The device should show up under Fire Devices > Android USB Interface with no exclamation points.

If that all checks out -

• disconnect your tablet
• go to Developer Options
• toggle off/on USB debugging
• Tap Revoke USB debugging authorizations
• Make sure your tablet's screen is on
• Plug the tablet back in to your computer and launch Toolbox.
• Your tablet should now show the option to Allow the connection
• Make sure the box to always accept is checked and accept the connection.

I've had issues in the past with ADB connections. I hope this helps. It really sounds like your cable or connector, though.

Thanks for your input.

The cable is working, at least another non-amazon-device is getting detected by windows.
USB debugging is enabled.
If I switch to this page, all radio buttons are greyed out.



I don't have a Fire Devices in my Device Manager.


I use Windows 10, so normally it should handle the driver issue for me (and it did so a year ago when I first used fire toolbox; so normally the driver should still be there?)

Please advice me how to fix this.

€dit: I installed the drivers manually, but that doesn't change anything.

Any chance of having a linux version or a mono compatible one?

FAQ says

How can I run the Toolbox on Linux?
The Toolbox is currently being developed for Linux systems in the Python programming language. If you'd like to see the progress of the port, you can do so at this link.
Please be patient with me as the Linux port is being developed in my spare time and may take some time to complete. However, as the port progresses some builds will be released to those who'd like to help test alpha builds. More information on this later down the line.
However, at the moment, the best way to run the Toolbox on Linux is to use VMWare and emulate Windows.

First of all, thank you Datastream33! It was really easy to do! A mini tutorial, a wizard with explanations so you know what you are about to do, most things worked great at first try. Great work !

Like some people above I had problems installing the Google services too.
I had error messages with "Bad user number" (can provide details) and all installations of google services failed. Then i tried installing without calender and contact sync and it worked. Funny thing, afterwards i was able to install all services (again) with contact sync and after that all services (again) with calender sync.
May be worth a try, if you haven't tested that. I have a Fire HD 10 (2021) with firmware version 7.3.2.1 and used Fire Toolbox 26.1, so your experience may differ.

After i went through the Fire Toolbox Setup wizard and had done most of the suggested things, i wanted to control if firmware updates are disabled on the device, but i wasn't able to (Toolbox says disabled).

Question:
Clicking on "System Updates" (Settings > Device Options > System Updates) drops me back to the "Settings" page. Is this normal/known? Is there a way to resolve that?

How does one keep their Fire tablet up to date with OS updates?

Also, does anyone know if it's possible to get a native VPN client on this tablet or know of a reliable one for L2TP?

OS update is a Amazon poison pill.

I am lucky to get get an older firmware tablet. It has no big issues for my need other than No notifications.

if I have a new tablet with newer firmwsre, I will return it or go with other brand.

FYI, I use it on windows 11 with no issues. So possibly not an issue with ftb.

It happens whenever I have it running and connect my Fire tablet, so yes, probably an issue with FTB. Also, it looks like there has been no update since then, so it will keep happening.

Okay, I don't speak German so I don't recognize all the items in your device manager screengrab, but it doesn't look like your tablet is there. It is possible that it is there, listed as another device with a different driver loaded, but probably not.

That leaves us with a connection problem. Since you say that your cable works with another non-amazon device, have you tried reversing the plug on the tablet? It's possible that one side of the plug works while the other does not.

Maybe another port on your computer would work.

Then there's the possibility that the connector on your tablet is bad or malfunctioning. I can't help with that other than to suggest trying to swap hardware with another Amazon tablet. You could get a 'parts' tablet from ebay to try this. Can you transfer files to the tablet with File Manager on your computer? Does your tablet show up as a portable device in File Manager? (You'll need to have the tablet connection set to File Transfer on the tablet.) If so, it should work and it's a driver problem and I'm at a loss for more ideas at the moment.

I'm new to Fire Toolbox, I searched for solutions but didn't find anything.

I ran the toolbox on my HD 8 Plus a few months ago with no issues. I ran it on my partner's HD 10 this week, it went smoothly except for one thing. I can't register the device in order to use the Amazon apps, specifically Goodreads. When I launch Goodreads or the Amazon App Store I get a "Device Not Registered" error, when I tap register either the app closes or it just spins and spins and nothing happens.

Details of her HD 10:
Device: Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021)
Codename: trona
FireOS Version: 7.3.1.9
Android Version: 9.0
Security Patch: 2018-10-05

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

 

[brianblank]

You need to enable "Shop Amazon" and "Device Setup",

Open the " ADB Shell" tool and run these commands:

pm enable --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe

pm enable --user 0 com.amazon.windowshop

Thank you! Ran the commands and after a reboot Goodreads is working as expected.

Hey Guys, awesome tool and great community over here

I have a new Fire HD 10 (11th Gen) with luckily OS 7.3.2.1, so the Toolbox worked like a charm (so I think).
I have my "main" user configured and all good, but whenever I create a second user via the toolbox, this user disappears after reboot, happened multiple times now
And when I create a Kids user, this one stays, but apps won´t work after reboot (Audible for example, runs fine the first time, but after reboot it´s just loading into a black screen and soon after back to homescreen).

Is there anyone with similar trouble or any idea what I´m doing wrong?
Cheers Tim

hi
im waiting today my fire 10 hd tablet but at the order, i forgot to disable account linking. Is there a way to disable this before i turn off the device? i dont want to update the OTA update. And if i can, can i disable the updates then? please answer fast

 

[itimi]

If your not signed into the device with your Amazon account then all users execpt the main user disappear when you reboot,
Unless you find a workaround (like you did) to keep the user, but a Kids user is much more restricted so apps not working after reboot isnt very surprising.

Ah ok, so I have to have a second Amazon Account for the second user for it to be persistent?

I can install apps from the Google store but the ones I've paid for (specifically driving theory test) don't open, any solution?

Try downloading/installing Google Play Games. (No idea why it works, but reportedly it does.)

 

[mckay1988]

is anyone have problems with night mode?
i turned it on in developer settings but the quick settings menu stays white. any solutions?

Im sorry if this has been asked but I just can't find the answer. Is there a way to permanently set Nova Launcher as the default launcher with the 11th Gen Fire HD 10? I ran the toolbox, installed Google services and got rid of adds on the lock screen but just cannot get Nova to fully work. Thanks in advance.

 

[ktklein72]

Try running this command in the "ADB Shell" tool:

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

If you get a error that its a protected package then your on FireOS 7.3.2.2 and need to use the "Re-route Homekey" method provided by the "Custom Launcher" tool.

yes, definitely on 7.3.2.2

the re-route home key does work however after each reboot it is gone and has to be re-done again. kinda annoying. at least I mostly got rid of the lock screen ads (using the Automate app (i say mostly because after each reboot I need to re-run the services to get the ads to stop again (but no cable to pc connection is required at least).

hopefully a new "fix" can be devised so Nova can be made the permanent launcher

keeping my fingers crossed

 

[Tylz]

Good afternoon,

I was attempting to setup multiple accounts but it seems i can't have the nova launcher on both profiles? Or maybe i'm just doing it all wrong to begin with.

 

[nschloe]

I have a Fire HD 10 with 7.3.2.1. I can see the tablet started downloading the upgrade to 7.3.2.2. Is there a way to abort the process still? For now, I've just disabled the data connection.
