I tried re-installing adbLink 3.3, but the problem remains. I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 Pro. I've disabled my firewall and anti-virus, but that doesn't make any difference. Here's the log: Code: adbLink 3.3 What's going wrong, and what can I do? Thanks!

I tried re-installing adbLink 3.3, but the problem remains. Just as a sanity check, I just downloaded 3.3 and installed it to Win7 Pro64. It installed fine, and ran w/o issues. Offhand, I've no idea. To diagnose, I'd try running in safe boot and/or turning off UAC. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2851718/windows-8-and-windows-7-safe-modes-how-to-enter-and-when-to-use-them.html https://superuser.com/questions/83677/disabling-uac-on-windows-7 edit: just came across this: https://scottiestech.info/2009/12/30/quickfix-my-program-is-running-but-i-cant-see-the-window-on-the-desktop/ RE: adbLink 3.3: Windows/Mac/Linux Companion for Kodi - mechaaztlan - 2017-06-19 Having this frustrating problem with one particular Firestick. I've setup kodi now I'm trying to push some zip files but whenever I bring up file manager I either get nothing (empty) panels or they say [-] Unkown username or uid. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. I've used the same process on my other two kodi sticks and everything worked for those, so I must be missing something.

I doubt you're doing anything wrong. I've seen blank panels in one case, a rooted device with a non-standard su...installing superSu fixed that. Is there anything about this firestick that's different from the others?

I don't think there's anything different. I did a factory reset on it and it gives me the same issue. I may have tried to root it once? I'm pretty sure it couldn't be rooted because of it's firmware. Could there be some left over junk on there that would survive a factory reset?

A factory reset doesn't nuke everything. You can try to using the adb shell button then at the $ prompt paste the command: Code: /data/local/tmp/adblink/which su This will show you if there's an su binary on the stick. The upcoming version has the ability to turn off root detection, hoping for a mid-July release.

Could there be some left over junk on there that would survive a factory reset? You may have used Kingroot? The which command tells us that a su binary (required by root) lives at /system/bin/ on your stick and a stock Fire TV stick does not have su installed. adblink's file manager is attempting to use this su, and it's [the su] not behaving as expected and the file manager chokes. I've seen this happen once, with a pre-rooted generic Amlogic S905. Installing supersu fixed things on that system, it may fix yours. It's worth a try. RE: adbLink 3.3: Windows/Mac/Linux Companion for Kodi - mechaaztlan - 2017-06-20 [SOLVED] That worked, thank you! Going to donate a couple of bucks to the project. Here's what I did so maybe it helps someone. Downloaded Kingoroot apk, installed it via adblink. On the firestick I ran the app and let it root my device, it says it was successful and installed it own SU. I then Uninstalled both of the apps via the firestick menu. I also downloaded and installed Super SU apk via adblink. After that I am good. Not sure if kingoroot actually rooted? I was pretty late to the party and was pretty sure I was unable to root. Maybe a false positive or something. |
