kindle fire 7gen family link loop - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so playing with the family link loop where it
Then:
Installed the four APKs needed to install Google Play Store: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ama...-fire-t3486603
Installed the Family Link Manager APK. I posted it here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eV...aZYYsd-2E1351C
Launched Google Play Store
Signed in as my child
It asks which parent is setting up the device. I choose myself.
Got a warning about Android 5 and not be able to control an apps permissions after approving.
Then, a message that Family Link Manager needs to be installed. I already installed it at this point.
Checking Info...
It asks for a name for the Device
Asks which installed apps should be blocked
Then I get a screen that says, "Next, you'll activate Family Link Manager, which helps parents..."
After clicking next, I get a screen that says, "This profile manager is required for Google Accounts managed with Family Link." The only option is to click, "GOT IT." I then end up on the previous, "Next, you'll activate..." screen. If I click NEXT there, I see the same, "This profile manager is required..." screen. The process is now stuck in this loop
but if i try the loop 3 times i can not use google play,. but i have to redo this every 2nd day or so... it wont quite stay/finalise sign in
how can i stop this

I am also having this issue. Have you figured it out?

I found no solution for now . ...

Theres no fix for this. I think the fire is missing a option that family link assumes is there

Try it to factory reset or hard reset and re-install the Google Services
Another solution: https://screentimelabs.com/help/how-to-uninstall-google-family-link/

if you get the manager apk from another device, you can get one step further. however, it continues until it gets to the step where it wants to activate the device manager and the screen for an instant shows, but then goes to a "are you sure you want to cancel" screen.
If you activate the device manager manually, unfortunately, it still shows the same screen.

[Q] Market Downloads Not Working

Hopefully someone can help me get the market to download apps.
Steps taken:
1. Rooted with Auto-nooter 0.1
2. Ran Auto-nooter 2.12.15 over top of 0.1 to fix some stuff
3. Market failed to download apps
4. Factory Reset - reverted to stock
5. Re-registered NC to functioning stock device
6. Rooted with Auto-nooter 2.12.15
7. Got root, followed all instructions to enable device and extras in order specified
8. Market still not downloading
Can anyone else say they are having this issue? What about a possible fix to this?
When I went to Sync gmail for the first time, my account was already in the device. I'm assuming this was because of the Youtube activation with my gmail account?
Thanks
I'm also having a problem downloading apps from the Marketplace. They show up as Downloading but never download. I searched for the problem on the Android Marketplace help, which offers the following suggestions (go to google support androidmarket and click the download issues troubleshooting page):
If your application is stalled at "Starting download", please use a few of the following troubleshooting steps to help your download to completion:
Confirm that there is connectivity on your device (contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected)
If downloading a paid application, confirm that your credit card information is up to date by logging in your Google Checkout account
Make sure that your phone is logged into Google Talk by following these steps:
Go to your phone’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
If you’re already logged into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
Launch Talk again to sign in
If unsuccessful after attempting these steps, let us know and we'll be happy to investigate further.​However, I cannot sign in to Talk on the NC. Anyone having similar problems?
I followed the steps below to Root, after Rooting and Unrooting due to the Market issue:
Chose Complete action using Setup Wizard
Tapped Droid bot
Skipped Learn how to use your LogicPD Zoom2
Skipped Set up your Google Account
Selected both boxes for Use Google Location and clicked Next
Clicked the menu arrow -- settings -- Wireless & connected to WiFi
Launched Youtube, accepted ToS, clicked menu and added my linked google account
Launched Gmail and refreshed
Launched market and accepted ToS.
Well, my limited experience (i only got market able to work last night at 3 AM Pacific) taught me that even if you don't see an item downloading in the task bar, if you go to the main Android Market screen and click Downloads you'll see it there. And it installs on its own. You do see the "installed" check mark symbol though, after it's done.
For some reason, mine started working all of a sudden. I didn't do anything different since second root attempt. Maybe I wasn't waiting long enough for the download to kick off. Anyways, thanks guys.

What's problem with my Play Store :(

My Play Store has a discomfort problem. Many many app in Play Store, when I click Accept and Download, then have a warning like attched picture, and "starting download" ... forever >"< ... I don't know why. Anyone can say me what's problem with my Play Store ? I switched to another google account ... but ... no change . How I can fix this very very discomfort problem ?
A common error occurs to Android users when they attempt to use Google Play to download apps that says “Error Processing Purchase DF-BPA-09″. The error usually doesn’t allow users to download anything and the problem will reoccur with every attempt.
The following steps usually fix this problem.
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap Applications.
3. Select the All tab.
4. Locate and tap Google Services Framework.
5. Select the Clear data button.
6. Tap OK on the warning that appears.
Although you may not have to, try restarting the device, then try to use Google Play. You should now have no problem downloading apps.
Fixed and cleared . Thank you very much :-x

[Q] Google Play error "Could not retreive information from server"

Hi All,
I am a proud owner of the Kindle Fire HD and I am pretty new in the Android World.
I have rooted the computer with success. Afterward I have installed all the applications as indicated (Market, Vending and Google Play).
Now the application gives me an error message with "could not retrieve information from the server". Does anybody knows how to resolve this?
Does it have to do something with a log, data, settings, IP address, location (residing outside the USA), user account, particular file, etc.
Can somebody PPPPPPPLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE help me with this? I am almost giving it up......
Thanks in advance.

profgokker,
No worries, this is a common error and is no way caused by geographic location. Google
Play Store works throughout the world, including China, although the Chinese attempt
to block Google Play. The problem is either the Google Play Framework is corrupt or
the Vending.apk is corrupt. Let's first replace the Vending.apk application. We have
attached Vending.apk to this thread. Download Vending.apk, move it to /Kindle Drive/
Internal Drive/Download. Then using ES File Explorer with Root Settings enabled, move
/sdcard/Download/Vending.apk to /system/app. You will get a warning, click yes
to replace Vending.apk. Next, change the permissions on Vending.apk to Owner: Read Write
Group: Read Others: Read. Next click on /system/app/Vending.apk choose Install.
After you complete the install of Vending.apk, then download Phonesky.apk which
is attached to this thread, move it to /Kindle Drive/Internal Drive/Download. Next
click on /sdcard/Download/Phonesky.apk to install and upgrade the Google Store
to Version 3.10.10. Then go to your /Apps, click on Google Play Store icon, Agree
to the License and attach an account to Google Play Store. If this does not
resolve your problem I will give you instruction on how to upgrade the Google
Framework.
Unfortunately I am having the same problem. Where can I find an uncorrupted googleplayframework? Thank by the way for your quick response and effort.

profgokker,
We have over 300 people a day download the same files I gave you, so you can be well assured
They are good. OK, to the problem. You are sure that you did not install a firewall, correct? Did you
install any security software? If no and no, first COMPLETELY uninstall Google everything, through
the Kindle Uninstall Service, we can not take a chance that one package is effecting Google Play.
Remove all items that you recently moved to /system/app. The Reboot the Kindle. Check the
Amazon Add Remove Programs - anything Google left? If no, you are good to take the next
step. Go to our Tutorial [How to] Install Google Play, the link is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329
The idea here is simple. We will be replacing everything Google and since we have over
300 successful installs a day through those instructions and packages. The good new is
that the download package included in the tutorial will be slightly different than the files
I gave you today. If you still are not working after do a complete reinstall, there is
something wrong with the Kindle or your network. You can also send it into our firm,
we do offer Kindle Repair but I really do not believe you will have to take this drastic
step. You may call me as well, the first 5 minutes is free.
I still could not get through, same message again. I followed every instruction, but I am not sure what you mean with "Amazon Uninstallation Service", could you explain this further?
I even set everything to 'factory settings' and rooted the table again.
How do I know if it is a devide problem or network problem? If I go to the internet site of google.play, I have a similar message (server error), does this indicate a network issue? Or is this normal?
I will try it one more time and than I have no other option to contact you. Although I already give it up for google play on my kindle.
Thanks for your effort and fast response, which I appreciate very much.
I just noted that I just cannot access Google play from my location., not even via the internet. It looks that Google play has blocked my region (Caribbean), very frustrating. I tried to access it at workplace with company computer, other computers in my home; Google play just gives an error. Now I accessed a computer in Europe, and voila......' working there
Amazon does also not even allow me to the webshop (no US credit card).
Does anybody have a solution? Or just switch to Apple? Very disappointed in the of the kf
I just installed Orbot (there is also a post on xda), followed the instruction and voila...... i have access to Google Play.
So there is a block for my region for Google Play and I bypassed this via the program.

profgokker,
Are you in a Corporate Network or is this at home? The reason I ask is we have customers that
originate in the Caribbean and I have not hear any complaints unless your ISP is blocking Google Play.
Either way, I am glad you were able to make it work with Orbot Proxy Server:

This is a great program.

Update Device Title - Not signed in to Amazon

So I'm trying to go the no amazon route and have side loaded google play and from there installed most of my standard non-cell phone related apps. (Thank you sd_shadow) My only question now is, has anyone tried to change the device title/name? In the top right hand corner it says "My Fire" but before I factory reset I know I was able to to update that title. The only thing I can think that is system different is I'm not signed in to Amazon via the system settings. So short of signing in has anyone found a way to update that title?
Bumping this thread.
Just got my mom and sister Fire Tablet. I don't want to register it to my account in fear they might purchase something without knowing.
Anyway to change the device name without registering?

Need help setting up 2nd profile

I could use some help setting up a secondary user profile for my tablet.
I recently bought the $50 Fire tablet. I immediately used RootJunky's batch files to install the Play Store, remove lock screen ads, disable OTA updates, root, and replace the stock launcher. I then logged into my Amazon account to set up the main user profile. I removed a bunch of Amazon bloat and the tablet is working perfectly as a proper Android tablet.
I ran into trouble, however, when I tried to set up a second user profile for my wife. She logged in using her Amazon credentials and went through the standard set up processes. After finishing all that, the lock screen showed up, she swiped up, and nothing. No launcher or anything. Just the home screen wallpaper.
While logged into her profile, I tried re-running RootJunky's Play Store install batch file. I got errors, though, telling me all of those files were already installed on the device.
Navigating through the settings, I managed to get into the Amazon app store and install OneDrive. From there I was able to install some APKs. I managed to install Nova Launcher so she has a working launcher. I also installed the Play Store. The Play Store, however, wouldn't open. It just flashed a white screen and then shut down. After installing the Google Login Service it now prompts to enter Google credentials to log in. After doing so, however, it says it couldn't connect to Google's servers. I am unable to install either the Google Play Services APK or the Google Services Framework APK. After not being able to install them from OneDrive, I downloaded them to internal storage and they wouldn't install from there, either.
I have confirmed that she has root access. I have Root Browser installed to her profile and can access the entire device storage.
Can anyone help me out? Something tells me there's a simple solution here, since the device is rooted and all of the programs/services necessary for logging into a Google account are already installed on the device. Would locating the necessary files and copying them to system work?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think you should re-enable temporarily the stock launcher, that might be your problem. Then, you can set up another launcher and re-hide the stock one.

Thanks for the response.
The launcher isn't the problem. I managed to get Nova Launcher installed on the secondary profile, so I do currently have a working launcher.
The problem is that I can't get logged into a Google account, therefore I can't get into the Google Play Store. That's the problem I'm trying to solve. And as I mentioned originally, the Play Store and other Google apps are working just fine on the primary user profile.
If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks.
