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.

For May 3, all I see is AFTV-GAPPS-MM-v1.3.zip

Basic edition of what?[COLOR="Silver"]

General consensus is to start from scratch with the procedure.

Are you booting the machine that does the exploit, booted up from the named ISO burned to USB flash and do run these scripts from the terminal in the assigned directory? I don't think you can run adb commands from twrp or at least I can't find anyone who has explained how it can be done. Su...

Are you sure that one of your connections for the OTG is not supplying too little current to the stick. Will it boot if connected directly to the power supply and cable that was supplied with it? If you can't resolve the problem, can you still access the the TWRP menu and at that point, first...

Is that script found somewhere in the file directory on the stick or is this some script that gets called when adding this addon package and if it's part of the addon package, how would I change this and re-implement the addon, thanks! ** OK, I found this script in the addon zip file: (would...

Can I use without logging in? How do you get past having to log in? I only want to use Kodi to view files on my home network server.

Ok then skip the screen saver. But before I continue let me stop and say thanks again for this great package!!! I am now to the point I installed 3 other random TV services in addition to Kodi and I am getting the constant nag after doing so that my memory is getting too full and that I need...

I plugged the Windows formatted USB stick in the PC (eFat works for read like this but has problems with backing up to it but you are OK reading off an eFat), downloaded the zip file to the stick., plugged the stick into the powered hub where the mouse is plugged in and the hub is powering the...

Are the guys kind enough to provide all this info on salary and do you have a Service Level Agreement worked out with them where they are staying up to the contract? If not, try a paypal boost and see if you get more service.

I got that failed to update /vendor as well. I ended up using the full stock restore image zip and installing via TWRP "Install". If you open the TWRP Install menu you will still see the failed to update /vendor but then once the restore kicks off you don't see that error any more. Then...

BUMP If possible I'd like to remove all the Amazon advertising as my primary goal and the second goal would be to have a directory (or actually use one off my Samba server) to use to show my personal selected photos on the screen as a screensaver (sort of like I can set up in Kodi). Again, I...

Which storage buttons are recommended for doing the backup? e.g. /system ?? /vendor a list would be nice because I found the backup I made which ticked every storage box does not work properly. Thanks!

I only know enough to get myself in trouble here but in general if something goofs up I've found you have to start all over. That involves one of two paths. 1) if TWRP shows up on the boot sequence, then you have to boot to TWRP and load the restore image (zip) via TWRP Install mentioned...

Thanks, I had everything I needed and didn't know it. I already had the Google development Windows drivers and ADB executable for Windows from another development kit. All I did open a Windows command prompt on my adb.exe directory and enter the IP address of my firestick in place of this...

Can I replace the screen saver? I don't want to upload my personal photos to Amazon. I want to display photos from my file server on the screen as a screen saver without being tied to Amazon or having my own family photo albums in their domain. Can it be done? Thanks

How/where do you enter adb commands after exploit At what point should I be able to communicate with the rooted firestick via ADB with my PC? The Linux ISO has already been used to exploit and the stick is running OK but how do I issue ADB commands to it now? Anyone have experience with...

((((((((((( a88 88888888888 UPDATE !!!!) While I would still like to understand the other methods of working with this AFS with a computer rather than a mouse and keyboard, I have to say that after "sleeping on the problem" I was able to load the restore the factory zip image via the...

I resolved the problem after sleeping on the problem and found you can use the Install option to restore the factory image even though you get the same /vendor error initially. I'd still like to learn how to issue ADB push and ADB commands to this stick considering the only way I can see to get...

Do I install the stock rom via the Install button of TWRP or via the other "sideload" methods which I don't understand how to accomplish? No matter what I try to accomplish I get that failed to mount /vendor error. I originally used the factory supplied USB cable attached to a PC running the...

I was using my stick normally, with AFTV tools loaded, leanback launcher and for over a week I've been watching movies from my home server via Kodi. All I did was simply to long press an icon to move it (the keymap one) and I went into a bootloop. a) tried to restore from a backup of the...

Got the same problem. Did this work? ---------- Post added at 04:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 AM ---------- Can you also help me with some of the terminology used here - for example on phones I have rooted in the past, I have used backup/restore and install many times but I am...

I was going along fine after initially unlocking, and installing TWRP via the unlock procedure using the USB iso stick. I got TWRP up and backed up my system. No one would respond on what to back up so I backed up everything (selected all the buttons). Then I installed Magisk 20.3 and...

I long-pressed the LearnKey icon and it rebooted my system. I am now in a boot loop. I have my OTG installed with memory sticks attached. What I see in this order TWRP option, b/w Fire Stick logo, Orange/Wht Fire Stick logo, 3 dots pulsing and back to blue screen and boot loop. I...

Is there a way to gain more control over leanback launcher like a way to a) adjust order of app icons and b) add more rows. And I assume this launcher is the best one for rooted AFS? thx

I signed out of my amazon account, thinking it was not needed with this mod, now when I power up it says sign in with your amazon account and it shows a keyboard but there is no input area where the letters you select from the visual keypad are entered in any field anywhere.. You can select...

Where is the file, do you have a hub on the OTG connection with USB stick plugged in. There should be an option on the Install panel to mount USB storage if I remember correctly.

So with OTG & Mouse and a USB stick with the needed files on it I should boot to TWRP, slide to inturrupt, Install this image you provide via TWRP install, install Magisk 20.3 via TWRP install and finally install AFTV-MM zip via TWRP install and I am done, right? If this is right, I assume I...

Does this update resolve the lipsync problem? Even before I applied the unlock and root, VLC player lip sync was noticeably out. After intalling Magisk and Kody, the Kody video player lip sync is also off but not as much as VLC (tested playing video from memory stick). Anyone else see this...

This is just not working for me. First of all I am at a disadvantage not having used Linux desktop prior to this. I have rooted and installed Magisk and Xposed from Windows on several phones but this is different. When do I use the new TWRP I managed to install? All I was able to do was...

Got it unlocked and TWRP loaded - which options do I check to backup? System Image and Data along with Boot is selected. The ones not selected by default are System, Vendor, Vendor Image, Cache. Also if one needs to restore, which are selected? Thanks!

I don't know about the "C". I would guess the effort abandoned but not for sure. Unless you are just trying to pass the time during COVID-19 and don't have a penny to spare, I'd recommending tossing these tablets in the recycle and buying a more modern one. A year ago I worked on the KL...

Thank you very much! Can the header of this guide be change to eliminate the step to install 6.2.6.8v1 rooted ROM as it may be confusing to some since the current suggestion is to wait for a more stable version. Thanks!!!!!! Also which Magisk to use? Thanks again.

Things do get confusing, for instance the author of this post says initially: :After kamakiri I would flash only magisk.zip + sideload the manager app with adb... and avoid any prerooted rom flashing until there is an update to a somewhat higher version (and the current 6.2.6.8v1 has that...

I don't have anything but a little square plastic OTG piece of plastic that should be available at most computer stores. It is one solid plastic piece that has a usb male micro on one end and a USB-A or large female USB on the other end. It is no larger than the smallest thumb drive you have...
