I was wondering if its someone is willing to write an xposed module that replaces android screensaver with a lunch action on an app. That way e.g. kodi could be launched which handles in my setup the sleeping of the firetv. It would also be use full to run e.g. the flickr app or any other non...

let us know it worked without gnd, that would mean the CPU is not running. Maybe because of a to low voltage on vcc. Be aware that operating on a stick with a running CPU can destroy the content of the flash which at least is no fun to recover ;)

0,25mm wire about 10cm long.

As i wrote my board is similar to the first version of the exploiters board (which was never for sell afaik) and has a voltage regulator which can provide 1.8v /2.5v. As fahr as i can see from https://www.exploitee.rs/index.php/Exploitee.rs_Low_Voltage_e-MMC_Adapter your adapter should be able...

Yes you can. In this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60133932&postcount=32 you can find the voltages. VCC is probably also good with 5V. tormatensu seems to have done it with the exploiters adapter maybe he can give you more details. I'm thinking of making some professional...

Until somebody finds that file, have you tried towelroot? i don't have an ideos x3 anymore but the kernel should be vunerabel to this exploid.

ok sorry than i cant help any further as i don't know what voltages you have in VCC and VCCQ with that board. Did you try powering the firetv by its own usb port?

I bought the parts listed on the exploiters wiki for there beta version of the board, and made a PCB with a PCB mill, so you can just buy the parts but need to make a PCB. But your adapter should work the same as it uses the same chip. The main difference is AFAIK that die sold version of the...

I don't have a exploiters adaptert therefore i don't know how it blinks. Maybe there is just not enough power for the emmc? In case of the firetv power came trough the power supply here the deice is powerd by the SD card adapter. You could try to also power the firetv stick by its USB port.

Looks good. By HDMI shield i mean the shielding of the HDMI cable / connector. Each highspeed connection like USB / HDMI ... has a shielding today which is in most cases pulled to ground on the connector side. Therefore are these connectors often a easy way to get a good ground as the have...

I just copied the files on a linux PC. Depending on what way filesystem you use make sure to keep permissions correct. If you only want a disaster recovery backup you can also copy the whole SSD with an imaging tool. On linux i would recommend using DD but there are imageing tools for every OS...

If you want to be 100% sure just make a backup of the ssd. I did the same with an USB drive and hat no problems. You can also use Titanium backup to have backups from the mounted filesystem.

The bootmenu and mounted a drive to /data are completely independent so you should be fine to install the bootmenu. As your external data partition will not be mounted during the update process and therefore also not be wiped you should be able to just remount it after the upgrade. To be sure...

Every ground is the best ;) thats the idea of the ground pin they should all be on the same ground layer of the PCB. For easy access you can just use i.e. the HDMI shield.

Oh that’s sad but as far i followed your work i understand what you are doing. As for me the firetv is just a media renderer and the linux server is runnig besides it so the limitiation of the fireOS eco system are not a problem and i like the games and primeVideo. I 'm not into maintaining...
