I am technologically challenged! I cannot believe I was able to successfully follow your tutorial (neither could my husband and children). Your pace and detailed instructions were excellent! Thank you
just got the fire 10 for christmas... have always had samsung til now... and OMG... this was absolutely awesome... i was upset that i didn't have my google play... now going over to other video to set tablet up as android... you are great... thank you so much
Thanks a ton. For some reason over the past 18 months I have had to do a hard reset to clear up problems with my Fire HD8 and this tool has saved me each time. I love the tablet but one more failure that requires a hard reset and I am going back to a full Android tablet.
Well a klutz like myself, I was able to stumble along with a few stressful situations, to get things up and running. This was the best instructional video on how to install google play on my tablet.
For being very clear, concise & very straight to the point (unlike the other thousands of useless, time wasting clickbait videos on here), you sir, just earned a like & a new subscriber! Keep up the good work! I shall also be recommending your channel to my network going forward. 👍
@@justinmartinez4893 yep. I did. It failed at first though. Then I tried couple of things. 1. When prompted by the toolbox, I disabled OTA on the tab. 2. Updated toolbox to v25.1 3. Made the sure the tab itself wasn't locked/screen off aka keep the screen on 4. I turned off wifi on the tab. After updating toolbox to latest version, I retried installing the Google services option and it successfully installed.
Thanks dude, my dad's friend's kid has an amazon fire tablet, and he really wanted a game that he could only get on the play store, so when I get my new windows 10 laptop, I can install Google play for him! Really wanna let the kid be happy!
This is very helpful. Easy and clear. I was able to do it on my Amazon Fire10.. Also watched your other videos and now my tablet it perfect! No ads and removed the other apps too... Thanks much! 🥰
Bro you are a lifesaver. I found this other video before I found yours talkin about downloading 4 different apks. I was like ain't no way in hell I'm going thru all that lol. So luckily I came across your video and it was the most simplified fastest and most understanding way. Thank you!!!
Hells yeah. I just did this to my new cheap Prime-Day Fire HD 10, after skipping registration. No lock screen, custom launcher, Google Play added, fully de-bloated and all my fave apps sideloaded. I'm getting about four emails a day with the subject line "Don't you want to start using your Fire Tablet? Register it now!" The Fire Toolbox screen that says "If you remove Amazon's ads, you might be a crime boi" is hilarious.
Works to install Google Play on my HD10 v13 on 9/16/24. No issues, but no longer exactly the same as the instructions above. Close enough though, anyone should be able to work it out.
This worked really well. I initially was a little turned off that it takes plugging it into a computer, but I think it's actually easier than some of the options for doing it all on the tablet. Thanks for the video.
I had to end up buying a replacement cord after 6 cords basically I think were "low power" cords. Worked fine afterwards on my old and modern Fire's. I'm using Microsoft Launcher.
Thanks for the video!!!! Super easy to install following along with the tutorial. I was completely lost using other videos, until I found yours. Thanks again bro!
Thank you so much for your tutorial! I am not a tech person, but I was able to follow along and install with no problems. Tried following others, but your video was very thorough by showing ALL steps and explaining Thank you again! 😊
Thank you so much this tutorial was so helpful and easy. For years I've used the old method with the 4 folders until it recently stopped working stopped working. This method is way better it doesn't slow down my tablet.
Even without the prime day special they are still much cheaper than a comparable Android tablet. Plus the toolbox let's you change your launcher and remove most of the remaining Amazon crap as well. Check the other video he references from a few weeks ago.
Yep, it's nice for 80 bucks. It's still solid at 100 as it is today. Honestly haven't been disappointed in anything about it, but I'm not doing anything very demanding.
And it's back. I had a 5 year old HD8 that's too slow to use and they gave me $20 credit + 20% off an HD10 so I got it for $35 so that's completely bonkers.
I must be an idiot! First, I couldn't figure out where you got the Fire Toolbox downloaded from, many places offering to do that. Finally found what I believe you are using, downloaded but wouldn't install until I close certain files... don't know which ones. Dead stop.
I received my Amazon Fire 10 tablet yesterday 26th Nov and was very dissapointed to learn there was no Google Play Store and quite honestly astonished. Thank you very much for taking us step by step through this process. The downloads took a little while but I got there in the end. Thank you!!
Attention folks that didn't bother to read around on the forum. Go to the last page and work your way back a bit. Amazon updated to prevent this from working. After some reading on there I got the custom launcher working with it launching from hitting the middle tray button and google play store working as well. The debloat seemed to work still. I still have Ads but I can live with that for now. This developer seems hard at work to catch up to this update and then kill your devices ability to update (from Amazon) and break these customizations. It's a game of cat and mouse and always will be! I spent maybe an hour on it and am pretty certain the developer will get a break through pretty soon. There was some more in-depth stuff you can do but I didn't care to sink hours into it, 1 was enough!
Yes exactly. I really only notice it on the longer sides of the tablet but yes there is a slight creak in the casing when I hold it normally. I’ve been asking around about it and I’m getting mixed answers
Hey! This is not really related to the contents of this video, but I want to suggest a video idea: retro gaming emulation in KODI with the IAGL plug-in. I used it for a while on a RPI4, but I was hopping you might look into it (on Pi, android, etc...) because you have way more experience and you are also very thorough in your videos. I really liked being able to browse the library and easily choose what to play.
I'm an iPad guy myself, but I refuse to spend that much on a tablet for my young kids. They are 7, 7, and 9. They all three have a 7" Fire Tablet. It's the 7th gen version, so it's getting a little long in the tooth. My daughter will be 10 in a month, and the prime day deal presented the opportunity to go ahead and pick up her present. It seems like these finally have enough RAM and CPU horsepower to be usable almost as regular android tablets. I don't think the Amazon parental controls are granular enough if you don't subscribe to their Freetime service (or whatever they are calling it these days). I almost considered the Galaxy tab A10 because of that. The price on this little beast just couldn't be beat though.
Gotta agree with you on that. They finally reached a point to where it's a sweet spot. I got mine mostly for and the kids so they can read books and the UI is exactly what I wanted for them unlike iPad it's all the same.
Hey is the hd plus that much better than the none plus? I just now got my fire hd 10 didnt know about the plus version im only curious because it has 4gb ram instead the 3gb on the none plus im curious mostly because of wanting to game on the tablet and just one gb make that much of a difference?
Question - once Google Play is installed using these instructions, how well do Google's apps like Drive, Sheets, Docs, and Slides work once they're installed on a Fire tablet? Perfectly?
Hello, I cannot wait to do this soon. I have a quick question. If I already install Google Play. Will Appstore be available and other apps that I install from Appstore??
Absolutely flawless my friend! I have one question... I've heard that using the toolbox could possibly take away the Dolby atmosphere on the 10 plus tablet. Could you confirm whether or not this is true? I can't really tell because I don't recall what videos or music sounded like before I made the change to add play store. I would like to do more changes, but first wanted to be sure I wouldn't lose anything crucial in the process. I realize this all is reversible as mentioned on your page. Thanks for a great job, well done!
video helped! The fire I had was a backup to my ipad as I used to work for Amazon so got one on them. Not having google play limited the apps on it but this worked perfectly. I missed the steps from the toolbox recommending something with updates. Was it automatic updates or OTA updates? it was something about updates the program recommended but not sure what it was.
Brilliant video as usual mate. I picked one up finally did everything based on your previous tutorial however the Alexa icon doesnt do anything now nor I believe it can be removed??? Anyone know how to solve either option?
Awesome video! Thank you so much. I'm excited to watch your others and see what else I can turn my Fire into! The previous time I did this I installed using a hack workaround and downloaded files to my Fire, then installed them using the Docs program. It wasn't difficult, but it wasn't as simple as this! Does the Fire Toolbox work for Fire TV Sticks? Is there anything cool you can do to a Fire TV Stick? LOL
I am technologically challenged! I cannot believe I was able to successfully follow your tutorial (neither could my husband and children). Your pace and detailed instructions were excellent! Thank you
Wtf is technologically challenged? Means you're dumb with tech?
Just commenting to say that this tutorial still works in 2023 (as of the comment date). Thanks to ETA PRIME for once again being the hero. Much love.
Im using your video 2 years after you first published it and it worked great on my 2021 Amazon Fire HD10 Plus tablet! Thank you!
thanks for the update! all the comments are old & i wasnt sure it would work still
just got the fire 10 for christmas... have always had samsung til now... and OMG... this was absolutely awesome... i was upset that i didn't have my google play... now going over to other video to set tablet up as android... you are great... thank you so much
Thank you! Been trying for a month getting nowhere! I found your video and I'm done in just a few minutes, you've definitely gained a follower!!
Worked easy peasy on my Fire 10+. Got rid of the lockscreen ad too. Nice. Thank you, my friend.
This was super simple to do. I have vision issues and was still able to install it easy peasy. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Just in time for our prime day tablets to come in. Mine will be here in 8 stops lol.
Nice man Enjoy
Just got mine last night
Have you received it yet?
@@pankajjethwa lol that was a year ago.

I just did this yesterday from your last tutorial. It works great and was really easy. Thank you so much!
I want to thank-you. I updated my Fire tablet and am enjoying so many apps that I could not use before.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, you saved me from returning my Fire tablet. IT WORKS
Ordered myself one today but when I saw that you can't have RUclips on it was gonna return mine. Gonna give this method a try hopefully it works.
@@ZAK-yd5ey does it still work
@@Henroll- didn't work for me but I am able to use RUclips through the silk browser.
@@ZAK-yd5ey thanks for the heads up!!

Just got my Prime day HD10 today and RUclips was my major reason for having to get this sorted lol. Thanks again!
Got my Fire 10 Plus for $109. I used the Toolbox tutorial from one of your older videos. 😎👍
Did you get the 32 GB? I got the 64 one.
Hi! Can you use touchpen/stylus on your tab??if yes what brand & does it support palm rejection??
Please do tell!!

Got one for my son on prime day £79 in the UK. Followed your previous tutorial to do just this
Finally, a Video that explains an easy way to update my Amazon Fire.... Thanks and wishing u all the best
Thanks for this, Far far simpler than I thought it would be, Initially worried about connecting to my PC, I needn't of worried. A great tutorial.
Thank you for this simple and to the point guide and now I don't have to use my fire as a paper weight.
I've watch videos before and didn't help. This one was easy and step by step. Now I have Google Play on my tablet. Woop Woop!!!! Thank you!

Same here
Perfect! Got one for my kid and she loves RUclips kids. Now she can everything on 1 device!
Omg thank you so much for this - now my kids can download whatever they want not just apps available on Amazon! Very happy
thanks for the upgrade it works and i like how you sayed everthing in 6 to 7 mins great video production it was easy to understand 👍
Amazing! I just got one of these for summer travels and was concerned about keeping my apps in sync. This is very helpful
Thanks for the video!!!! Super easy to install following along with the tutorial. I was completely lost using other videos, until I found yours. Thanks again bro!
Still works Oct. 2023 thanks 💪🏾🙏🏽
Have my hd10 plus arriving today based on your recomendation. Thank you ETA Prime!
Good tablet for reading comics on. Got the fire 10 plus 64gb. Used fire toolbox. Very easy to use
You should try e-ink devices for reading, protect your eyes!
@@MiniRockerz4ever I don't want e ink
Hey does yours happen to be a bit creaky?
@@reubenholcomb maybe. I dunno. But I'm not expecting high build quality for the price. Plastic will creak a bit.
Only tutorial that worked easily thank you so much 🙏
Amazing... easy... I can't believe "I" was able to do this! It was all YOU. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much for your tutorial! I am not a tech person, but I was able to follow along and install with no problems. Tried following others, but your video was very thorough by showing ALL steps and explaining Thank you again! 😊
This worked great on my brand new 2021 Amazon Fire HD10 Tablet. Awesome! Thank you for freeing me. 😁
Thank you so much. I tried to get this on my fire 7 and just gave up on it. You made it simple.
previously tried downloading each apk but was a pain. what a great tutorial, thanks dude
I really appreciate tutorials like this video. Thanks dude, got a thumbs up from me!
Thank you so much this tutorial was so helpful and easy. For years I've used the old method with the 4 folders until it recently stopped working stopped working. This method is way better it doesn't slow down my tablet.

The most simple and easy method to install Google store on Fire devices, Thanks for the great video.
Gotta say this tablet was a steal for the prime day price...
Plz make a video if there a way to remove ads and still launcher with toolbox since new update is not allow it

How did you do it I Install but when installing the apps on playstore it's just pending
Got mine yesterday too! Getting google services on it was a breeze! Thanks for the help!
Is yours just a bit creaky sometimes when you hold it?
@@reubenholcomb creaky? like as in the tablet will make creaking noises?
I don't think so, its actually pretty sturdy
Yes exactly. I really only notice it on the longer sides of the tablet but yes there is a slight creak in the casing when I hold it normally. I’ve been asking around about it and I’m getting mixed answers
