So here's the logcat, after reboot and after debloating. It's significantly less now (only 220kb) and here are the relevant lines, while I perform a pairing process:

D/BluetoothAdapter( 2106): 279818164: getState() : mService = null. Returning STATE_OFF
(multiple times)
D/BluetoothUtility( 2106): Discovery has stalled. Assuming discovery did actually start.
D/BluetoothAdapter( 2106): 279818164: getState() : mService = null. Returning STATE_OFF
(multiple times)
W/ControllerProvider( 2106): Bluetooth didn't seem to come up. Skip reconciling device list
D/BluetoothAdapter( 2106): 279818164: getState() : mService = null. Returning STATE_OFF

and the previous messages repeat over time. Is the bluetooth module dead? Is that why the bluetooth icon appears at the top bar of the wolf launcher and then dissapears just after boot time?

I took another logcat some mintues after completely different output. Here it is.

The style of this logcat is like
I/Vitals ( 244): performance:cool_activity_launch_time:KDMv3_Data=[['com.amazon.tv.settings.v2'!574.000000!574.000000!574.000000!1.000000!com.amazon.tv.settings.v2/.tv.controllers_bluetooth_devices.ControllersAndBluetoothActivity!{"d"#{"app_version"#"613035210"}$"m"#{"context"#"S1T0A1D0I0L1E0M0"$"prev"#"com.markus.firetools/.A4Activity"}}!{"d"#{"software_version"#"288.6.4.8_user_648595120"}}]!['com.wolf.firelauncher'!3331.000000!1632.000000!1699.000000!2.000000!com.wolf.firelauncher/.screens.launcher.LauncherActivity!{"d"#{"app_version"#"11723945"}$"m"#{"context"#"S1T0A1D0I0L1E0M99"$"prev"#"null"}}!{"d"#{"software_version"#"288.6.4.8_user_648595120"}}]];DV;1,KDMv3_Unit=ms;DV;1:HI

No it didn't. No combo works for me. How did you find out that my stick tries to pair via wifi?

Only a guess based on your log mate

Code:
I/WifiControllerService( 1057): Group should be active because this ships with a WiFi remote and we've started discovering

D/WifiControllerService( 1057): Waiting for discovery to begin

I/WifiP2pService( 1057): DISCOVER_PEERS peerType =1

I/wpa_supplicant( 1392): P2P: Successfully set hidden SSID to 0 for interface p2p-wlan0-0

E/WifiP2pService( 1057): applyAutoGOHiddenSSIDState: remote_discovery_on=true wps_pbc_on=false wfd_on=false hiddenSSID=false

D/WifiControllerService( 1057): Start Wifi P2P Discovery succeeded

D/WifiControllerService( 1057): Discovery started

Ok you can try it, but one hint.
My script deletes very much Amazon Apps,
only way back is to reflash Stock rom.
i just want to ask one question like i wanted to downgrade my tank stick to 5.2.6.8 i have done it via trrp but when it starts for the very first time after asking for wi-fi connection it auto download new version and go in recovery and update by itself.Is there anyway to bypass start-up setup after remote connection setup?

Hello, it's possible to install this version on a most recent version of Fire TV OS ? (I have the last version)

Hi
By the 'most recent version' do you mean the Firestick 4k?
You need to be sure which version you have, FireStick 2 (2nd Gen), Fire tv 2, Firestick 4k. then look at the relevant thread about unlocking and root.

After installing any of these images (`adb shell twrp install <img.zip`), and doing `adb shell reboot`, generally how long do you have to wait for stick to start. I have tried flashing multiple times, it appears to finish successfully but I do not seem to be able to move past 'FireTV Stick' logo screen. I am not sure if it's the waiting period or I am in a bootloop.

I have created another thread with all the details and logs : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...tuck-on-logo-unlocked-twrp-available.4288487/ if you guys can take a look?

Thanks!

@rbox ...

FYI ... I tried to flash the latest Prerooted Stock ROM from the OP ... but I just couldn't log into the amazon prime account on it ... which means i couldn't get past the setup wizard.

STRANGELY though ... I tried logging in with 3 different Amazon Prime accounts ... All 3 accounts returned with Username/Password error ...

HOWEVER WHEN I TRIED TO LOGIN WITH A NON PRIME ACCOUNT, I COULD GET PAST THE PASSWORD SCREEN ONTO THE OTP SCREEN BUT THERE I FAILED IN SPITE OF ENTERING MORE THAN 10 OTP'S AMAZON KEPT MESSAGING ME WITH !!!

I WONDER WHY A NON-PRIME ACCOUNT COULD GO ALL THE WAY TILL THE OTP SCREEN BUT 3 DIFFERENT PRIME ACCOUNTS FAILED RIGHT AT THE USERNAME PASSWORD AUTHENTICATION !!!

What's feature this prerooted rom has that the stock has not? Is there a review somewhere?
Is there the possibility to enable the chrome casting?
And lastly, can I install it on the last firestick firmware?

Hi everyone, I can't use adb. I need to reinstall stock firmware. I used the guide to unlock boot. boorom-step, then fastboot-step. What do I do now? i have twrp active but i can't use otg for mouse and keyboard. How can I control via linux ???? with active twrp I can't go to adb, how can I go to recovery ???

With twrp booted, run terminal on Linux and do:
Code:
sudo adb shell
Type your password and then the twrp commands, such as
Code:
 twrp wipe data
twrp install /path
twrp reboot recovery

Hello folks,
Does anyone know how to revert to prerooted 5.0.5 from LineageOS 12.1 on a Fire TV Stick 2?

Already did a wipe cache+Dalvik+System+Data via TWRP 3.2.3-0 and then
tried to install a montoya 5.0.5-rooted_r1.zip but unfortunately that doesn't work.
It shows me this:
Process updater ends with ERROR: 7
Failed to install zip '/usb-otg/Montoya 5.0.5/montoya-5.0.5-rooted_r1.zip'.
