[tamojit_ray]

As far I know this version can't be rooted by software. Only with hardware mod is possible to root.

You need to buy hardware for this, costs about the same as a new second gen stick. Take a look at post 10 and the following posts: click here.

I update the OP with 5.2.7.2_r1.

Thanks for this. Is an updated needed to the image? I noticed after updating to the 5.2.7.2_r1 from the OP that I could not watch live amazon programmes from prime. In settings -> about there were "system" updates avaliable.

Live events would show the spinning cursor and go back to the event page without playing on my rooted firetv stick. Amazon telephone support suggested the most common reason is a pending update that needed to be installed. A couple of small updates installed OK (no reboot), then live Amazon programmes started working. Intestingly the support agent could tell me which version my firetv stick was running and which update was required to get live events.

I have the custom TWRP teamwin recovery by rbox so unless Amazon update the recovery image I should be be able to re-root. Is there anyway or need to protect the custom recovery?

The Fire TV home version was updated from 6.1.7.1-005 to a later version will post the version tomorrow if I remember. The Fire OS version was still 5.2.7.2 .

Every ota update from big A updates always the recovery.
You may block updates with the well known adb commands...

OK I have blocked now- I wish it was possible to protect the root by "locking" the custom recovery.

The firetv home version now is 6200198.1 (was 6.1.7.1-005)

@rbox is there likely to be a forthcoming 5.2.7.7 firmware update in the near future or have you now given up on montoya?

 

[Sus_i]

I updated my montoya stick last week from 5.2.7.3 to 5.2.7.7

PS: I noticed that amaz. fixed the famous 'build.prop block updates method' with 5.2.7.6.
Be aware, changing the build number to 987654321 won't block the OTA updates...

Are these pre-rooted? How did you update if not? Also, what is best way to protect root now?

 

[Sus_i]

Are these pre-rooted?

No. They aren't rooted. It's 100% stock.

How did you update if not?

I build my own rooted stock roms, quick and dirty... not as nice as the prerooted, but it works for me

Also, what is best way to protect root now?

Use adb shell to disable the update process, like this:

adb shell
su
pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota
pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota.override
pm disable com.amazon.tv.forcedotaupdater.v2

anyone have a root method other than kingroot?

Not for montoya, even kingroot/kingoroot should be patched long ago.

kingroot is a virus though

You can't unlock the bootloader on FireOS5. TWRP uses second init on these versions, only possible with a rooted stick.
Unfortunately you can't exploit the latest OS via software. Only a hardware root (emmc hack) is possible, but it isn't recommended.

Can you explain how to do the emmc hack please?
