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.
See this update in the unlock thread for details:

As usual, this WILL void your warranty and I am NOT responsible for anything you do with this. Installing it properly won't brick your Fire TV, but doing stupid things with it might.

First, you must be unlocked. You can follow the instructions here for making that happen.

If you are first starting, you should first unlock, then install this ROM, and THEN install Magisk for root or any other addons. This rom uses addon.d to preserve Magisk and any other addons, but any system modifications like Magisk, gapps, etc, that you have installed prior to this ROM will NOT be preserved.

If you've already unlocked and installed Magisk, then after installing this ROM you need to reinstall Magisk in TWRP.

Starting with 6.2.6.6, Magisk is always installed.

Beyond that, Magisk and any other addons will be preserved as you flash newer roms. Consequently, if you would like to remove root, you will need to wipe /system in TWRP prior to installing this ROM. That will prevent it from being restored when installing the ROM.

Thanks to @k4y0z and @xyz` for the unlock.

NEVER FLASH A STOCK ROM >= 6.2.8.0 AFTER FLASHING 6.2.8.1_r2 OR LATER! THIS WILL BLOW AN EFUSE.

Hey all, Just flashed my unlocked mantis with 6.2.8.1_r2 but I've got an issue where it tries to update as soon as I connect to wifi. I can't seem to bypass to turn off OTAs. I've already had to redo my system partition luckily I was able to unplug it before it completely updated haha. Is there something I'm doing wrong? The next thing I want to try is to use a network cable adapter to try to adb into it but I don't know if that will work
