@@PineMartin-jd9sp I have only seen this issue on specific Amazon devices running the latest FireOS version. Can you share which Google / Android TV devices are affected ?

[@TechDoctorUK]

@@PineMartin-jd9sp Testing via a virtual device is a poor test as a virtual device will always be limited in its connectivity & ports. My Shields runs Android TV 11 and has no issues making local ADB connections. When you said "Widespread issue affecting Many devices" - I thought you would actually provide some real examples but instead you tell me to test via a VM.

[@TechDoctorUK]

And yet you can’t name a SINGLE device which also has this issue. Really silly to make claims without having any real evidence to back it up. I’ll reiterate - testing via a virtual machine (especially when dealing with network connectivity) is a poor test.

[@belindabrooks3350]

Doc my fireOS 6 has this issue of ADB debugging not working. I'm having major issues not being able to access your debloat toolbox. I have a Fire stick 4K. Keeps telling me "Shell is Busy". Another device is accessing Shell. What other device. I turned off my tablet. Toggled debugging OFF and ON and still can't get your debloat toolbox to work. Now I'm stuck with Amazon Kids and Prime video. Uggh Any suggestions or answers? Signed long time subscriber

[@peteb3357]

Hi Doc, I have found a way around the Remote ADB Shell not connecting issue, I discovered this while trying to put the lean keyboard on my firestick lite. I installed Remote ADB Shell from the play store onto my phone, I then put my IP Address for my firestick onto this and connected, which in turn a message came up on my firestick 'Allow ADB Debugging?' and pressed ok. On your tutorial for the Lean Keyboard there are two commands to copy and paste into Remote ADB Shell, I did this and I now have the lean Keyboard back on my firestick, I am well chuffed Doc. If you make a video of this please just give me a big thank you, that's all & that would make my day. Hope it works for you. Now there is always a 'however' if you restart your firestick you have to repeat the process again. I have just typed them two commands into my notebook on my phone so it's easy to just copy and paste, no biggy really. I hope you and many others have found this useful. Cheers Pete 👍

That’s right Amazon. Keep giving people more reasons to walk away from your devices and go to Android ones.

[@Smash-n-Grab]

Amazon has been increasingly restricting certain functionalities, like ADB (Android Debug Bridge), on Fire TV devices due to concerns about security, piracy, and maintaining tighter control over the user experience. ADB, for example, allows users to sideload apps, alter system settings, and customize the Fire TV in ways that go beyond what Amazon intends. This freedom can be seen as a way for users to access content and apps not available through Amazon’s official channels, some of which may bypass licensing or security protocols. Here are a few reasons for Amazon’s actions: Security Concerns: ADB access can potentially open up the device to security risks. Some users may sideload apps that have not been vetted by Amazon, increasing the risk of malware or other security vulnerabilities. Piracy and Copyright Issues: Allowing sideloaded apps or certain kinds of customization can enable piracy, such as installing unofficial streaming apps that bypass paid content providers. By restricting ADB, Amazon can limit unauthorized access to copyrighted content. Ecosystem Control: Amazon wants to maintain control over its platform and ensure users stay within its ecosystem. Limiting ADB and third-party apps helps keep users engaged with Amazon’s approved content and services, which is tied to their revenue model. User Experience: Amazon’s Fire TV experience is curated to be user-friendly and stable. Allowing users to modify the system with unofficial apps could lead to a degraded experience, causing issues like poor performance or crashes. As for sales being affected by these restrictions, it's a mixed bag: Customization Enthusiasts: More tech-savvy users who enjoy customizing their devices may feel frustrated and move to more open platforms like Google Chromecast with Google TV or NVIDIA Shield. These users typically prefer devices that give them more control. Mainstream Users: The average Fire TV user may not be significantly impacted by these changes, as they tend to rely on official apps and the overall simplicity of the Fire TV ecosystem. While some power users might avoid Fire TV devices due to these limitations, Amazon likely sees this as a trade-off for ensuring a secure and controlled environment for the majority of its user base, rather than focusing solely on device sales. Their goal is to drive revenue through the consumption of content and services in their ecosystem. Get an NVIDIA SHIELD Ive never looked back since .

[@PeterMunster]

One other thing, I told Amazon, I said if they make my devices unusable for the purposes they were originally sold, I would be making a claim on them.

[@robt2142]

Love my Onn Box. More videos about them, okay? Long time disgruntled Firestick user.

I think i’ll be using my nvidia shield tv and the pro version going forward. These constant cock ups from amazon pushing people away from their devices. I use the TDUK App Killer and the cache cleaner a lot and to not be able to use it on the fire devices is ridiculous.

Good morning sir was wondering if you seen the new and latest update on the 4K max there’s a setting under preference that when you click on it, it says allow Amazon to see your third-party apps mine was set on. I turned it off. Was wondering if you seen that I haven’t seen much about it.

[@LupaLuna]

Both of my Amazon 4K Fire sticks are getting this message. Mine actually says that the another app is using the Shell and to turn ABD on and off. I did that as well as unplug the device. Then I re-initialize everything once plugging it in and I still got the same message.

Hello friend, the Zank Remote app to use a virtual mouse on Fire TV does not work now, do you know of any other that currently works?

[@Swiftness0427]

I just disabled OTA updater before my ADB stops working

[@darricktopofthehitlist8592]

How do you do that?

[@bigkahuna2084]

I think that does NOTHING to stop Amazon from updating its Fire OS SYSTEM apps! That's only for stopping 'auto-updates' to official 'Amazon Store' Apps!! Won't do a damn thing to prevent what's happening right now. That's why TDUK was creating all those 'Update Blocker/Washer'-type Apps (and 'Toolbox' app) in the last few years ... UNTIL Amazon coders kept finding ways to break their functioning! I pray this is 'bug' mistake on their part ... but based on their past behavior, it seems highly unlikely!

[@Rayraywheelz]

You're aploications are working fine on my 2nd gen 4k max

Is the Launcher Manager also disabled because of this ADB issue? Launcher Manager will not allow the Custom Launcher to work on my new 2nd generation 4k max but works on my other 4k 2nd generation max. Is anyone else having this issue?

The latest Amazon update has broken the ADB functionality which is needed by my apps, as well as apps like mouse toggle. I would complain to Amazon chat and tell them you paid for something that you can't download any more. Tell them the app was working fine before your device was updated. My apps have not changed for months, its the Amazon update that has broken them. You can also demand a refund as you paid for something that is not available/working any more. I covered this in a recent video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4SqkmaqaNl9e6c Good luck

Using Adblocker with TDUK update wiper and IPVanish SOCKS5 proxy server, set up according to TDUK method. It’s been installed for about 6 months and has mostly kept OS updates under control. If the setting in Adblocker lapses, the symptoms are interrupted playback. This seems to have happened a dozen times. When this happens my priority is to launch the TdUK update wiper and delete the downloaded file(s). Then to toggle the Adblocker setting back to blocking. I haven’t noticed any VPN related slowing of internet speed. I stopped using the VPN telltale as I mostly stream on Real Debrid.

Onn is definitely doing great covering most people's needs at the $20 price point but I would really love to see a company properly challenge the Google TV market at $50-$100. No excuse for the shield to still cost as much as it does in 2024.

I have this problem,it's a constant problem with amazon,the firestick is maintenance maintenance maintenance all the time,if it was a car you'd gladly chuck it off a cliff,well I'm done with it now,had enough,I'm going to use my nvidia shield and forget firstick👋

The firestick main screen is slow slow and awful and all these steps they are doing isn't going to do anything but make people just not upgrade or buy another one. If they are so hard up for money they need to run ads like a porn site, I'm out.

adb still works from your smart phone to the firestick. I use a line command to delete cache. Wish I could disable the bloatware but don't want to pull the tigers tail. lol
