Fire TV Stick 4K (mantis) Prerooted Stock Images [6.2.8.1_r3]

[fourlans]

I installed mantis-6.2.8.1-rooted_r2.zip using twrp and now I'm unable to boot into recovery. It displays 'no command'. Can anyone tell me what I need to do so that I reboot into recovery/TWRP ?

Seems like you no longer have TWRP, if your screen shows no command with a green android then thats stock recovery.
I don't know how it happened but if thats the case you might have to unlock the stick again.

Thank you for your prompt response and advice.
I've attached a photograph of the screen after I attempt an 'adb reboot recover'. No green Android!
No response to any of the buttons on the Controller except the on/off button which causes a normal reboot of the stick.

That is the stock amazon recovery, you have lost your TWRP, and i think your efuse is blown too.

You WILL have to unlock the stick again by shorting it. (If you are lucky and have your efuse intact)

I'll try the unlock again and report back.

I wouldn't get too excited for this system update. Once you update to that version before the full ota image is released, you blow an efuse

Here's the new pre-rooted image for 6.2.8.1_4054 with patches to completely remove ota updates and the accessibility mods are working! This is safe to flash in TWRP:

Could someone provide the mantis pre-rooted for OS version 6.2.7.1?
It is no longer available at the link indicated the first post.

@rbox , Despite the warning, I installed this stock image as is from TWRP, then mounted /system, removed efuse.sh and ewriter from /system/bin, reinstalled Magisk, then rebooted. Is this procedure safe from blowing the efuse? Is there an easy way to test using ewriter? I was coming from the @rbox -prepared most current prerooted image. @Skel40, @Sus_i @SweenWolf, @Pretoriano80 @k4y0z what do you think?

If you removed ewiter then you should be good to go. That is the file responsible for blowing efuses. But you should know amazon can add some other files to do the same thing. So keep an eye on these folders and check for any added files also.

Thanx for your response.

 

[SweenWolf]

Thanx for your response.

Did you notice any changes on the stick? Like some function or apps.
If not then i will just wait for 6.2.8.2 and patch the files once again.

I haven't noticed any functional changes, but a fair number of apps have been updated since the intial 6.2.8.1 rollout.

Can anyone provide the mantis pre-rooted for OS version 6.2.7.6? I got a new OLED tv and I heard Amazon broke audio codecs since the 6.2.7.7 (which is the one I got on my stick) and since then the audio is transcoded and not correctly passthrough.

Thanks.
