adbLink for Windows

Useful tool to side-load Android apps

adbLink is a rather technical utility tool that allows users to side-load an existing Android application onto an Amazon Fire Stick. This is performed through the use of an existing IP address or a USB stick. The ultimate intention of this software is to effectively jailbreak the security protocols associated with the Amazon Fire Stick. Its entire functions and features can be fully experienced free-of-charge.

Main use

adbLink will essentially bypass the traditional methods associated with loading an application onto the Amazon Fire Stick. In the past, the individual would have been required to root an Android operating system to gain access as a 'superuser.' However, this program has done away with such efforts. It now side-loads an application as opposed to having to perform lengthy and technically challenging modifications. 

It is important to note that while it is considered to be a media player, it is possible to download other add-ons that can help access online streaming content, as well. Aside from that, it also serves as a link between your android device and your Windows desktop. Managing, backing up, and restoring Kodi data efficiently is one of its core functionalities, as well. 

How do I use adbLink on Fire Stick?

Setting up the adbLink software to gain access and control Fire Stick and Box will be a complicated process to do especially for beginner users. Once everything is established correctly, side-loading will be a piece of cake. Before you configure this tool in your Fire TV device, you must ensure first to find its network IP address.  Just go to your ‘Settings’, select ‘Device’, followed by ‘About’ and ‘Network.’ 

From there, you will be able to take note of the IP address of your Fire TV. Another thing that you must do before setting up is to enable the ‘ADB Debugging’ on your Amazon Fire TV. You will need to go to your ‘Settings’ and ‘Device’ section again, but this time, you have to select the ‘Developer Options’ tab to turn on the ADB Debugging. If everything's accurately assembled on your Fire TV Stick device, you can immediately proceed with downloading this software solution.

Afterward, you'll run the installed executable file. You will naturally see nothing under the ‘Current Device’ list if you used this program for the first time. With that, you will need to create a new profile for your Fire TV, just click the ‘New’ button, provide a brief description that will enable you to immediately remember the device used, enter the network IP address you searched earlier, choose a location for your ‘Pull Folder' and lastly, click ‘Save.’ You can just leave other options that weren't mentioned as blank. 

Handy, but requires technical knowledge

adbLink is an essential utility tool if you want to fully access your Fire TV device. It is indeed a useful program that will greatly help you to bypass various strict security protocols associated with the Amazon Fire Stick. However, to make use of this software, you will need to have a high technical knowledge as it will require you to do a lot of configurations. If you don't find any issues encountering the concerning details and you can easily get the hang of it, it is a highly recommended utility to have.
