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

[darksavior]

Thank you for your answer.
Are you saying that upgrading to 6.2.9.4 will result in bootloop, but TWRP is available again, so we can go back to 6.2.8.1_r2/3?
(Does updating to 6.2.9.4 not make TWRP go away?)

I've only tried to update to 6.2.9.4 through the automatic updates in the fire os. I don't use this stick often to know much of the ins and outs but I wouldn't install the 6.2.9.4 image in twrp.

Hey recently did this via fireiso and installed r2 then r3 however i am missing com.amazon.ssm.ControlPanel. Is there anyway to get this added ?

@rbox can you please re-up the older versions of this? They are gone from MediaFire.

Thank you

Did they ever add back proper multichannel audio and DTS back?

Isn't a big issue, since we can use now the bootrom-step via preloader without shorting.

Can you please explain this? Does it mean we can root the FireTV Stick 4k also with burned efuse? Thanks!

Yes, unlock is (or was) possible just without a short at all.
