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.

I was just kidding. I thought it was pretty detailed compared to other boxes.

Hey Logan, I too was having troubles. There seems there is a glitch with the folder "keymaps" within the userdata dir in Gothem 13.1
You'll need to delete the keymaps folder, then create the "keymaps" folder again, and then push the keyboard.xml file back.

Use to delete folder if it not empty:
adb shell rm -r /sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps

Use to delete a empty folder:
adb shell rmdir /sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps

Use to create the folder again:
adb shel mkdir /sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps

And finally push the keyboard.xml file again:
adb push keyboard.xml /sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/keymaps

Hope it helps you and others!
Cheers

I am new to Android and the Fire TV and having a hard time understanding the steps necessary to do an adb push. I have obviously been able to get XBMC to work but not able to do these adb commands in CMD. Are there any links with descriptions on how to do this? The Wiki is too vague in its instructions for beginners like me who are new to Android.

Here is the easier way.

1. Get your hands on the ES File Explorer apk and install it on your FTV. (I assume you already know how to install apk's as you already have XBMC loaded)
2. On your PC create a folder on your desktop and share it out to your network. Let's call the folder "TEMP".
3. Now, put whatever data you want on your FTV into the "TEMP" folder you created.
4. Fire up ES Explorer and go to the "Netowrk" section and you should see your PC listed and then be able to go into the "TEMP" folder.
5. Copy and paste the data exactly where you want it.

Easy peezy.

@Gotabooboo. Thank you, thank you , thank you. Will give this a go. The keymap add-on doesn't quite cut it so was still looking for a solution
