Is the exploit still working if you allow the unit to upgrade to 6.2.7.3 before it's rooted? Otherwise how do you upgrade a rooted stick to 6.2.7.3?

Would you explain this a little further, is there a new firmware that can't be hacked?

I finally had to ask a friend to upload it but here you go. Not sure how long the link will be alive .... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yMgX9pA9J4E8r_9g2Jh3QOrU8kinvqoJ/view?usp=sharing

Perhaps someone with a better connection can share. the file is over 600M and I am currently out of the country on a 1M upload connection and Google drive says 349 hours to upload and has already failed twice.

Try Google for one of these: update-kindle-mantis-NS6268_user_2315_0003255372676.zip update-kindle-mantis-NS6271_user_2493_0003590962564.zip **** maybe here? https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/official-stock-image-fire-tv-stick-4k-6-t4059777 ---------- Post added at 06:13 PM...

Just search here for "factory ROM" of the version you want and load in the ZIP from TWRP like you did with the original rooting you did.

Is reading from 6Tb Windows externally powered exFAT possible I have a 4K that I managed to root and install Magisk and FireTV ATV add-ons for FireOS 6. I have an externally powered 6Tb usb drive I normally use on Windows that I would like to plug in to OTG of the FS like I do my FAT32 USB...

It also turns off updates and some other things. I'd say start over or just delete the ones you don't like.

Just a note on storage issues - I've found if you plan to use Kodi, you can only view videos that are smaller than what the free memory is or it will buffer (viewing a Samba share). In other words if you get your system down to around 2.3GB free space and you want to watch a 3Gb mp4 file, then...

Then please also explain how the Magisk zip file arrived on /sdcard and by the way thanks, it's nice to see how to do this after I have been asking for several months.

Do you have a Chinese electronics or cell phone kiosk anywhere nearby? They sell the specificially for this purpose on Amazon but I already had one I was using on my android phone, so I just took it and a 4 port cheap USB HUB and plugged into the OTG connector and the powered hub powered the...

TWRP is a menu system that appears automatically during the boot sequence if you have an OTG USB device (powered) and plugged in. You need a USB mouse plugged in the OTG or in a USB Hub (powered) plugged into the OTG (which is plugged in the Firestick) Once the TWRP menu pops up, there is an...

I've done 3 now and this last time I used a very thin roll of foil and pried slightly to bend up the metal cover so that thin tube of foil (about half the diameter of an old-school pencil lead) would slide under. Now even though I had made the tip of the foil tip bent down like a phonograph...

I had to roll up a piece of foil with a diameter slightly larger than a wood pencil lead, then make a tip on the end and bend it down like a phonograph needle, then wedge the body of that roll between the shield and the IC chip as I slid that phonograph-like needle across the top of the PC...

Nope .... not there.
