download the android sdk and you will have the adb.exe inside it. at least that is how i did.
you need to connect to the ip like adb connect 1.1.1.1
then adb install filename.adb or adb push / pull etc.
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - DiamondGeezer - 2014-05-16
Has anyone had any success with setting a background using adb push.
Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - esso1980 - 2014-05-16
Yes. Just push the image to sdcard folder and your set from there. Just navigate to it thru xbmc
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - kcarney - 2014-05-16
Would it be possible to create a section in the forum dedicated to the AFTV? There is way too much to sift through in this one thread

That would be lovely.
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - jammyb - 2014-05-16
Why?
It's all in the thread! If you want the abridged version. Check out the wiki

Don't trash the wiki, it's not polite. If you don't understand something ask for an explanation.
1. adb connect 192.168.1.1:5555
2. adb push yourfile /sdcard/
substitute your IP and filename in the commands above
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - forestrat - 2014-05-17

The Wiki is NOT vague AT ALL. It has clear and simple details.
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - calev - 2014-05-17
Any one else think the wiki is a little vague? idk I was just looking through it and it seemed a few parts were a little vague.
Re: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - nickr - 2014-05-17
Be specific. what do you think is vague and why?
Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - HuddaDudda - 2014-05-17
I have to admit I had issues with this section of the wiki:
5.1 Copy userdata settings (optional)
Run XBMC at least once to initialize the userdata folder on the Fire TV
Copying from PC to Fire TV
Copy files to Fire TV userdata folder using adb push <local> <remote>
For example, to copy advancedsettings.xml from your local folder to your Fire TV XBMC userdata folder:
>adb push advancedsettings.xml /sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata
where org.xbmc.xbmc is replaced with your package name such as tv.ouya.xbmc (XBMC for Ouya) or com.semperpax.spmc (SPMC)
Copying files from Fire TV to PC
Copy files from Fire TV userdata folder using adb pull <remote> <local>
For example, to copy advancedsettings.xml from your Fire TV XBMC userdata folder to your local folder:
>adb pull /sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml
You can use adb shell to open a remote shell on the Fire TV. Use standard Linux commands such as cd and ls to navigate the file structure. Type exit to exit adb shell.
See userdata folder for more information on the contents of the userdata folder.
It probably should have been obvious but I didnt know you had to go back in and do the "abd connect" command to the AFTV. I was trying to figure out how it got the remote IP so I tried everything before giving up myself. Maybe adding a line before: >adb push advancedsettings.xml /sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata with starting back going to the command line and connecting to the AFTV with abd connect command would have made it easier to understand. I used the AFTV installer found on the XDA forum so to copy over the advancedsettings.xml I was trying to use the push command in a command line. Embarrassing enough I ended up sideloading ES File explorer then copied over the advancessettings that way. Then when I read the recent comment it finally clicked how abd worked. Sideloading to my AFTV via WiFi for some reason doesnt work either, but does wired. Maybe its just a few of us hardheads? I did figure it out though.
Just my opinion, so take it fwiw.
