[Q] Where to Purchase a Rootable Fire Tv Box???

[riotdog7]

Anyone know the best place to buy a ROOTABLE Fire Tv box with the old firmware from? I order one off Amazon last week and it came with the updated firmware already installed...

I bought mine from my local Best Buy store. I bought one with the lowest S/N.

(I am going to take mine back, though because I've chosen to keep my Nexus Player.)

Staples

Get yourself 25$ off 75$ coupon and save even more. 2 out of 2 were rooted

Yep Staples definitely have the ones with the old firmware. Picked up one late this evening. They on sale for $79.00. What coupon are you referring to though? I may get a few more lol.

Just got mine this morning too. Paid $85 out the door from Staples. Came with software version 51.1.0.1 so I was set! I've got a feeling they don't sell very many. They didn't have any on display and the first 2 service reps I spoke with didn't know what it was until I showed them a picture from their website. They had to dig one out of the back room.

Grabbed mine from the back of the display in Best Buy on black friday, got a rootable one. Honestly, there is no guarantee, but:
1) grab the lowest SN possible
2) if you can tell, grab the dustiest one (likely in the far back)

I have ordered several of Amazons refurbished models and all of them have been rootable. They had 6 left last time I checked. No promises but I now have 3 rooted Fire TV's.

Wow. Refurbished with old firmware. That's just lazy.

Agreed. Their shameful work should be chastised. After the fruits of their labors have been picked, rooted and put to good use!

I've been finding a lot that have rootable serials. I've checked Best Buy, Staples, RadioShack, and others. There are a lot out there. Every store I go to I check the serials to see if they fit. Below are the serials I've acquired from XDA posts and other places:

These and lower

I picked up one at Staples yesterday and it had the original firmware on it. Was going to give it to my dad but instead Ill be giving him the one I bought that isnt rootable. He doesnt care about anything rooting brings so it wont be an issue with him.
