Cant install an updated apk - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks, I cant install an updated version of an apk on my fire hd8 2018. Always comes up not installed. I did manage to Install a beta version but it's too buggy. Trying to save the apps data too. About a year ago i side loaded playstore etc. Seems that amazon os update messed things up. I've used the amazon fire toolbox etc to try to help. This tool won't update google framework either. Wallpaper won't stay on nova launcher either. I'm at a loss. Could anyone please help as I'm at my wits end. Really just need this one apk to work. Thanks

Try it to reset your Fire tablet, bypass Amazon account registration (Do not register) and re-install Google API services from Fire toolbox

[Q] gapps on Fire HD that survive OTA updates?

Hi,
Am giving my Dad a Fire HD 8.9 for xmas.
What I'd like to do is get Google Market/Play on it + Drive, Search, Maps etc...
When he goes home, I don;t want to be on the hook for rooting and reinstalling....so in my ideal world I need to:
1. Have a method for installing the gapps.
2. When Fire HD updates occur, the gapps should persist.
3. Ideally, if there are updates to the gapps, he should be able to get them to self update.
Thoughts? Is it possible? Can one root, install gapps, somehow make them user apps, then unroot?
s.
After the 7.2.2 update, I lost root, but Google Play, Chrome, YouTube, and Google Plus all seemed to continue working fine without root access. So I think the root is only need to install them, but afterwards seem to work fine without it.
Apex launcher did stop working after losing root though. But I'm kinda over needing a custom launcher now, I'm okay using the stock launcher now.
I didn't try all the Google apps, but I suspect if Play and Chrome still work, the others probably would too.
Not sure if anyone noticed, but if you had nova launcher previously installed when rooted and then updated to 7.2.X, nova launcher still works like a charm. Plus, you can also set it as your default launcher .

[Q] Unable To Install Apps Via Google Play Store

Hi all,
I've rooted my Kindle Fire 7" HD but I'm unable to install any apps via the Google Play Store. SuperSU has been install successfully & I've also upgraded it to v1.3. Root Checker Basic confirms that I do indeed have root permissions. I followed the tutorials posted by @prokennexusa & the app loads up fine. But when I attempt to install anything, the Play store closes. When I attempt to reopen it, it will close straight away. I have to clear the app's data before I can load it up again.
I had done this previously on a different Kindle & all was fine so it's probably me missing a step. Anyone got any ideas on what that missing step might have been? I'm running v4.1.10 of the Play Store. Is this the latest?
Cheers for any tips you can give me,
Lee
Make sure you're using the right GAPPS for your OS. I recommend flashing Kinology ROM, as it includes GAPPS and SuperSU. It's just stock with extra features, so it works really well.

[Q] Best way to set up Google Store on Kindle FHD7?

Hi All,
Sorry for being a n00b here... I have a Kindle Fire HD 7, with Sytem Version 7.5.1. I'd like to install the Google Play Store. I should be able to, right? I used the SuperSU tool that roots your device. I had installed Google Store and thought it was working. Then when I tried to install an app from the store, App Store crashed. Now if I try to install the app store apk it just crashes over and over... Not sure if it's relevant, but since then I've done a factory reset on the Kindle. I was glad to see that SuperSU seems to have survived the reset. Anyway, the first question is, where is the best place to get the app store APK file? I don't remember where I got it last time, but I remember not being sure if it was the latest version. What is the latest version. And more importantly, how do I make it run on my Kindle? Many thanks for any ideas. -steve

Play Store There was a problem communicating with Google servers

I have an Amazon Fire 7" 5th Gen. I just got it this week. It's running Fire OS 5.1.2. I've tried using the super tool to install the Google Play Store and it won't let me login to my account. I even completely rooted the Fire and still couldn't sign in. I did a hard reset and sideloaded the 5.1.2 firmware from scratch and followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/installing-google-framework-playstore-t3216122 and still can't sign in. I've even sideloaded com.android.vending-5.9.12-80391200-minAPI9 and com.google.android.gms-7.0.97_(1791429-070)-7097070-minAPI9 manually and still can't sign in. I've checked both the host file (only has 127.0.0.1 localhost listed) and Iran the adb command giving com.google.android.gms permissions and still I can't login. I'm at a loss of things to try.
The tablet also keeps showing me the notification "An Application requires an update for Google, Requested by Google Play Services" and when I select that notification it takes me to the store and asks me to sign in which I can't do. Is there a newer version of one of the apps that I need to manually download and install?
Appears to be resolved
I appear to have resolved the issue.
I went to rootjunk's site and downloaded the ALL GAPPS package. I installed several of the GApps from that package including the PrebuiltGmsCore.apk. I then went through each Google app again and cleared the data and cache for each. Rebooted, and then I was finally able to add my google account and access the play store.
Not sure exactly why it was so screwy but at least it's working.

I've just managed to root a Kindle Fire 5th gen using Supertool however I'm having the same issue when trying to sign into the Play Store.
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this stuff. Could you explain how you installed the GApps? I downloaded gapps-5.1-2015-05-23-24.zip from rootjunky but I'm not really sure where to go from there.
Would be a great help!
Thanks.

Scratch that. Managed to install it using Flashfire.
What do u mean using flash fire gaps there all 5.1 cm and below ? whaaat... Can ya step by step ? I've reinstalled this thing n trust so many APS n **** now the kindles had more use than a cardboard box near the soup kitchen. And still have exactly the same as the op
This worked for me. Amazon Fire 5th Gen 5.1.2 rolled back from 5.1.2.1.
Get root.
install flashfire.
download gapps-5.1-2015-05-23-24
flash zip using flashfire
delete data from google play services in manage apps from settings
reboot
login and its good.
note: it used to be the older login screen that was gray and blue and then after flashing it was the newer login screen from what looks like android 5.0?
Thankyou I'll give it a try now. I hope this works lol seems promising but ready to be declined again lol
Thankyou respect and credits you boss!!!

I'm having the same problem but on a kindle fire hd 6 4th generation tablet... how do I fix this??

update Google services fire 7 5th generation

my wife's tablet stopped working and I have a old fire 7 5th generation that my kids stopped using when they got a new tablet this Christmas. I remember than when I bought I followed some tutorial and removed the adds, installed a custom launcher the play store and root the service. l
Today when I wanted to add my wife's Google account I kept getting a login error and was not able to register the account into the device. I Google the error and it seems it might be because the tablet has an old Google play services, account manager, etc.
So my question is, can I safely download the latest apk from https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/06/09/install-play-store-amazon-fire-tablet/?amp
install them old on top of the ones already install, or will I break the play store, etc?
thanks for the help

Backup your valuable files to your SD card before you reset your Fire tablet to factory defaults and re-install all Googe services (Framework and Account Manager are same on Android version like 5.1.1).
Want to unlock and root (Ford is for Fire 7 2015 and Austin is for Fire 7 2017, follow the steps carefully)

Hi thanks for the reply.
I actually went ahead a installed the new versions of the apps in top of the old ones and it worked. I am able to add a new google account the tablet.
Any way if I actually go ahead and do the factory reset, do you do it from within the fire 7 OS?
Thanks for your help.
P.
