Hi,
I'm new to the forums, so please bear with me. I have root and unroot mi KF several times, with no problems, as well as doing factory resets, again with no problems. However, last time i did, the TWRP software was not deleted when doing the factory reset and will like to delete this utility since i will not be rooting the device anymore (i have a Nexus 7 now, so there's no need for me to do that). How can erase TWRP from my KF? Thanks

So some backstory, I just tried installing xposed framework earlier in the day. Got an error about app_process64 or whatever so I looked it up and posts said to delete it so I tried. X-plore file app wouldn't delete it and I tried to download es file manager whatever but it wouldn't download from the play store. So I rebooted my fire and it's stuck on the fire logo now. Factory reset it but it not work. I've researched the crap out of this and from what I can see, since adb can't find my device my only option is the update from adb option from recovery mode since I did get that to see my fire.
So with all this buzz about how downgrading will brick my device I'm unsure what version to use. I don't know what version my fire is but it should be the latest I imagine since I just got the thing last week and it downloaded updates when I started it up the first time.
Any help would be much appreciated cause I'm all confused. I looked at https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/tut-fire-hd-10-7th-gen-2017-root-box-t3726443 and it lists firmware up to 5.6.3.0 but the update at the top says we're now on 5.6.3.4? So where do I find that at?
Update: K nevermind I got it. I took a chance and went to that page I listed and sideloaded the 5.6.3.0 suez file. Rebooted and fire booted up like new. Go me!
Is it possible that Fire Toolbox V22.0 has disabled System Updates on my Amazon Fire HD 10 Gen 9? That's the only thing that I can think of ... even following their Manual Procedure of updating doesn't work. Called their Cust. Serv. and they were stumped ... until I fessed-up that I used your Tool. Of course, their solution was "Do a Factory Reset" ... Noooo!
If anyone has an idea it would be greatly appreciated. - Article_86
I just noticed the same thing on both my 2021 Fire 8+ tablets. I seem to remember the last time I used Fire Toolbox, there was a pop-up recommending the disabling of system updates which I agreed to. I'm going to check that out. If there's no way to undo the disabling in Toolbox, I'll probably factory reset and use Toolbox again, without disabling updates.

Hi gg -
Tnx for the reply ! Let me know how it turns out - much appreciated.
P.S. Keep (L) arm straight & head down ! - Art
I have exactly the same problem. Does the factory reset work? Any other workarounds?
Same thing here. Is a factory reset the only option? No other way to activate OTA updates again?
Hi All,
Hope someone out there can help me.
So I have a Fire HD 10 that is about 1 year old and used fire Toolbox to have Microsoft launcher as a custom launcher and also did all the usual stuff like disabling ads etc and it worked perfectly.
Yesterday I got a new Fire HD 10 Plus for my wife (the latest version) on the black Friday offer
I have tried to do the same and install Microsoft launcher on it and everytime I hit the home button on the tab it just defaults back to the stock launcher.
I also have a problem with installing google services when it gets to installing Play store I get INSTALLATION FAILURE:[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NOT_APK}
I am also unable to disable the OTA updates in the modify system settings menu.
The only thing that has worked so far is that the ad screen has been disabled.
Any help out there would be welcome.
Thanks
Does anyone have any information on when there will be an update to fire Toolbox so it works with the latest Fire HD's?
Just got a new one yesterday and it came with 7.3.2.2 version it will not load the custom launcher and reverts back to the stock launcher also unable to disable OTA updates.

I just got my Fire 10 9th gen replacement today and it came with 7.3.2.2
Luckily, my HD 10 Plus was bought in June worked great.
Hi,
The only fix I suggest is if your fire hd is less than 1 month old return it back to amazon for a full refund and get another and make sure you connect it to fire toolbox as soon as you get it to disable ota updates.
Have the same issue here, complete wipe of data and still there is the 7.3.2.2 installed. Really creepy that it directly came with my WIFI Setting INSTALLED...

I just got a new fire hd (8-10th gen) and will do this. Thanks. Two questions. 1) I already have downloaded the toolbox. Once I connect my new Fire will the toolbox see it and activate or do I have to do something (e.g. reinstall it)? 2) Does the toolbox prevent Fire from auto installing new s/w versions? TIA

I had the same issue on my Fire HD 10 with Fire Toolbox V25.2. I reran the install by reopening TB and clicked on the Google Services option and it installed completely on Fire OS 7.3.2.2. Hopefully, this will solve your Plus install.
Hi - I need to remove everything Amazon on my tablet - disable OTA - flash it completely out of this universe. Whatever it takes I must turn this amazon tablet into an Android one. Please, has anyone got the guide for me to do this properly? I am aware of some update that disabled the feature to disable OTA in toolbox.
Thank you

Would require you find both a Custom Recovery and a Custom ROM, both suitable to tablet.
I have a Fire HD 10 (9th gen). I did a factory reset.
Using Toolbox V26.1, after I install Disney+ from Hybrid apps it is asking me to signup and pay a monthly fee.
The toolbox says it could be used without having to register.
Am I doing something incorrectly or am I not doing something I'm supposed to do?
I received my Fire 10 yesterday. When I booted it, it scared the hell out of me how they already knew everything about me. I immediately thought it was the most disgusting device I've ever purchased, because of the software, but then I used fire toolbox and thought I was in heaven, except when I opened it today, I realized that I was in hell. Amazon had reset the whole tablet but left the Google apps. I should have known it was too good to be true. I stopped rooting after marshmallow and will now have to learn it all over again.

The update is the problem. So no custom launcher as standard launcher anymore.
I am having an issue updating my Amazon Fire 8HD+ (gen 10). After going to Settings, Device Options, and pressing Device Options it just loops back to the Settings main landing page.
After calling customer support, they said that this fire tablet had not connected to the Amazon server for over 6 months and needs to update and that the only way is to factory reset and start from scratch.
Can anyone help? I really don't want to factory reset.
@MicFar,
What toolbox are you talking about? Is it the toolbox from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/windows-tool-fire-toolbox-v26-1.3889604/ . If so move the question to that thread and someone can help.
Now, if you installed the toolbox from the link above and connected your tablet to it and ran the toolbox, then more than likely you have disabled updates via the toolbox. Disabling updates is a feature of the toolbox. But without knowing what toolbox i'm just assuming it's the one i linked. Regardless, the best option is to move your question to the thread of the toolbox you used for the most help.
