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'.
Check of you have downloaded the tank or the montoya version of the rom. That's probably the reason of the error: 7. It must match with your firestick.

Thats fine, because montoya is the name of the first fireTV stick...
You need to flash a rom for tank, a.k.a the second fireTV stick.
Btw, afaik there wasn't a 5.0.5 rom for tank at all.

I have not been able to install the prerooted rom but I am able to install LineageOS. Any idea what i am doing wrong?
Hello!
What's the error message you get?
If you can download it again and give it a try,may be incomplete download.
Before flashing Wipe Cache,Dalvik-Cache,system and flash the Rom followed by Magisk for root.
Hope it helps........
Cheers!

I am using the German instruction. When I try to reboot (step 7) I get an error but I disconnect power and reconnect & it does boot up to the Firestick setup screen. Then I try to install Magisk and get the below error. I can see the firestick folder on the computer.


:~$ adb install MagiskManager-v7.3.2.apk
