Nope
I guess your TZ needs an update, i.e. you need to flash 6.2.8.1r2 first, then flash the latest one.I resetted my fire stick and flashed this image, which seems to work fine, until I launch Netflix, which makes the whole thing freeze, every time. Is this something to do with it being rooted?
You can patch your stick so it doesn't check for updates, Patching instructions are hereI just rooted a new Fire Stick 4K with 6.2.8.1_r3 rom but it keep checking for new update from Amazon and auto update with it. Is there a newer rooted firmware or is there a way to stop the fire stick from auto update? TIA
I used TWRP to flash the patchv2 over 6.2.8_r3 and now the fire stick 4K is stuck on the fire tv logo on boot.You can patch your stick so it doesn't check for updates, Patching instructions are here
What you need from that post is Patch (6.2.8.1) v2.zip
The zip will make some changes on your rom, thats why its a TWRP flashable zip.
After flashing you can normally boot your stick and sign in to your amazon account.
After setting up your device if you want to revert the changes but keep the Amazon account. Just open TWRP and flash 8.2.6.1_r3 without wiping anything, this will revert any changes that my zip did on your system and you can still keep using this rom as it is.
Either patch your boot image using magisk, or flash my modified version of boot.img.I used TWRP to flash the patchv2 over 6.2.8_r3 and now the fire stick 4K is stuck on the fire tv logo on boot.
Would you give detail instructions on how to get the patchv2 applied to get it to work? Thanks again for all your help!!!
The special step before testing updates is to take a TWRP backupAre there any special stpes to take before downgrading? factory reset eg.?
great thanks, if data wipe does the trick with the downgrade for me... I guess for the future I will do the backup!The special step before testing updates is to take a TWRP backup
Without a backup you may need to wipe data after the OS downgrade.
Not worth at all, a lot more bugs, size grows too.Is updating worth it? Any new functionality? Fixed bugs? Rooted about a year or two ago, still on old version. Never use any Amazon stuff just Wolflauncher and mainly Kodi.
Is the backup size any smaller? (TWRP backup)
It needs to things to burn the efuse:>NEVER FLASH A STOCK ROM >= 6.2.8.0 AFTER FLASHING 6.2.8.1_r2 OR LATER! THIS WILL BLOW AN EFUSE
You are saying this, but at the same time TWRP prevents efuse burnt, so what is the point of this warning?
@rbox
can you add new prerooted image for https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...stock-images-6-2-8-1_r2.3983091/post-85725921 ?

Is something happened?
Hi guys, apologies for the noob question as I'm v new to android, i've followed the guide and successfully unlocked my firestick 4k, just wondering exactly how I go about flashing this image.
If someone could point me in the direction of an idiots guide that would be great.
Cheers.
*** enable adb debugging in Fire TV settings ***
*** connect stick to pc via usb to connect the stick to adb server ***
*** check if stick is seen by adb server***
sudo adb devices
you should see something like:
List of devices attached:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx device
**reboot to recovery:
adb reboot recovery
**push rom zip and magisk:
adb push ./Magisk-v20.0.zip /sdcard/
adb push ./mantis-6.2.6.6-rooted_r1.zip /sdcard/
**go to shell from adb:
adb shell
**install rom:
twrp install /sdcard/mantis-6.2.6.6-rooted_r1.zip
**install magisk
twrp install /sdcard/Magisk-v20.0.zip
**wipe cache (maybe not needed but helps)
twrp wipe cache
**reboot
reboot -p
** install Magisk Manager (run command from PC in the folder where you put MagiskManager-v7.3.5.apk)**
adb install ./MagiskManager-v7.3.5.apk
* ** open it and check magisk is installed!! ***
** disable update
adb shell
(ATTENTION! after executing "su" command go to the fire tv screen and wait for magisk manager to accept the root and click to accept!!)
su
** if su worked prompt changed from
mantis:/ $
to
mantis:/ #
**disable these 2 apps
pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota
pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota.override
**clear a pending update and delete the last searched thing from settings. **
pm clear com.amazon.device.software.ota
