[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
Made this thread so I can stop spamming the other threads with my annoying questions.

This thread is pointed towards someone that can help out by telling us how to get a Linux Distro runnning specifically on Fire TV.

So if anyone knows how,please assist us by doing so.

My main goal is to get a Linux distro with the extra capability of running Windows programs like PJ64 and many other great Windows programs.

First thing is,I need to know which one is absolutely the best one for running Windows programs at top performance through VM,Wine,etc.

I need this really,really badly.

*talks in your ear*

Really,really,badly.:D
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meadtj:
Why do you need PJ64? is there some n64 game you are super obsessed with? most of the android emulators work very well on most games
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
Banjo-Tooie runs slower on Android than on PJ64,always causes a random exit,and always freezes when trying to enter the unga cave.

With PJ64,I should get much better speed and never have the same Mupen related issues.

I also have a bad experience of Majora's Mask getting its save data permanently corrupted time and time again on any edition of Mupen for Android.

There is also tons of benefits with not only Linux,but Windows usage as well.

I can do thing that the Android OS can't do such as:Multiple Windowed programs,yellow highlight text and better flash in a web browser,and more importantly,the right click function using my K400r for things like Flash Player real-time quality toggle.

Hopefully all of these things can work when done on a Fire TV with Linux plus Windows non-emulation.

I do have a massive 32GB USB stick for storing whatever I need.

I also hope someone finds the actual Fire TV equivalent to the USB stick mounting function so you no longer need to use a seperate app to mount/unmount your storage manually.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NaturalBornHaxor:

And the main website...

http://linuxonandroid.org/

I hope to at least get a fully enough functional Linux for the desktop computer charm with right clicking for a real context menu.

Maybe there is a Windows lover's Linux Distro for any other method that looks and almost feels exactly like Windows XP or Win7.

Edit:Also,the XDA development thread for it.

If anyone ever finds out how to get any form of Linux running,we will also need a way to delete the massive 2GB of Amazon's video caching to make up for the large amount of space needed for the Linux installation.

I still have a burning desire for desktop quality functionality on my Fire TV.

I am sure that many others might feel the same way.

In some wild dilusional chance,does anyone think that goat simulator (at least the older one) could run on Fire TV (then again,newer versions can be more polished) if we got access to running Windows programs?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastafunk:
As someone pointed out earlier even if we get linux your odds of running winxx are pretty slim as we are on an arm architecture.

Any VM type situation would only work for arm code and there is no windows arm. (well a long time ago there was an arm NT).

i also have a wireless network running WPA-PSK encryption and i can connect without any problems. upgrade to the latest firmware for the atom if you haven't already as it has a better wireless manager. another thing to note is whether you have mac address filtering on your network in which case you would need to add the mac address of your atom to the wireless router's list.

D.) Find the lines that you wanna change, and change it to what I have underlined/bolded. OR some are not in there and you can just add those lines right in (lines that are not in that can just be added will be highlighted in blue).

Yes I just did mine and it works. I'm having trouble with Super SU. Message comes up to disable KNOX. It's been trying to disable for 30 minutes. Not sure if there's a newer version of Super SU or maybe AT&T put a tougher version of KNOX in the update but seems to be stuck "disabling".

Update: I went back to home screen then a few minutes later started Super SU, got the prompt to disable KNOX and this time it worked.

!!!THIS GUIDE IS OUTDATED AND SHOULD NOT BE FOLLOWED ANYMORE!!!

Want to use root apps, but can't be bothered to lose all your data? Here's how to root without losing data.

1. Go to settings -> Security and enable 'Unknown Sources'

2. Download this apk: http://towelroot.com/tr.apk

3. Install the apk on your phone using your favorite file manager.

4. Open it, click the button, and wait for it to auto-reboot.

5. Once restarted, download SuperSU from the playstore.

6. Once installed, open it. If it asks to update, click the 'normal' option. It'll give an error. This is good.

7. Now, download an app called TWRP Manager from the playstore.

8. Open the app and go thru with the download of busybox.

9. Open the busybox you downloaded and click on Install.

10. Now go back to the TWRP App. Grant it root permission. open it and navigate to the menu option 'Install TWRP'.

11. Select the correct device (which is: hammerhead) at the top of the menu.

12. Click the install recovery button.

13. Wait for it to do its magic.

14. Now go on your browser and download this file: download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip

15. Using the TWRP Manager app, go to 'Reboot Options' and reboot to recovery.

16. Once booted to TWRP, go to install, then navigate to the file you just downloaded (it's probably in the /download/ folder).

17 Swipe to install and look up at the sky.

18. Click the reboot system option once it's done.

OPTIONAL:

If you want to be able to use fastboot commands, you need to unlock the bootloader (and still retain your data).

Here's how:

1. Download an app from the play store called 'Bootunlocker for Nexus'

2. Once downloaded, open it and grant it root.

3. Hit the Unlock button, and voila, you're unlocked!

If it worked, thank this post so others can see!
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Some points to bear in mind

1) do a Nandroid backup before you do anything with your new found easy root

2) put that backup somewhere off your computer

3) you still need a computer to fix things if you fubar. Do NOT do this if you don't have a computer

4) you MUST learn fastboot before doing this. Ensure you test your fastboot works. This is sometimes your only fix

5) if you refuse to read our stickies first and then fubar,, don't expect us to be all helpful and patient. If you find yourself needing help, you'd better already understand the terminology we will use in our instructions

Warning to all, noobs are going to be falling all over this and not bothering to learn sh*t. Everyone be prepared for a shed load of help threads

Ahh those were the days... I was making ROMs for your sister device, the HTC desire at the same time. Even back then, the "cool my phone" brigade started to surface.

Anyway, as stated elsewhere. I've nothing against the method and at least it was you who created the guide here in this thread and put extra information in that some moron who could have created it instead would have left out.

[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
will the op method work on a locked bootloader? I mean with flashing twrp

the guys in the original towel thread are just grabbing the SuperSU apk from the 1.99 zip and running that to install SuperSU binaries... seems way simpler if you want to keep your boot loader locked
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Should do yes. I regularly flash recovery via flashify with a locked bootloader. My only worry about this is my bootloader has been relocked with the bootunlocker app so the question is whether that reflects the position that fastboot locking does and only someone testing can confirm for sure.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you are asking whether locking the bootloader via Bootunlocker actually locks the bootloader in true sense? Yes, it does. If you want to unlock it via fastboot, you can do it but it will wipe everything as it's done via fastboot.

Besides that, fastboot oem device-info also returns "false" after you've locked the bootloader via bootunlocker.

I keep the bootloader locked always and unlock it whilst updating any mod or rom. I'm kinda warranty conscious as my device is covered under LG.
[Nexus 5 General] CrashOverride1995:
Will I be able to flash a custom kernel if I root using this method and flash kernel via flashify??

If I unlock using Bootunlocker for Nexus will it wipe my data??

P.S. I am on Stock 4.4.3 with locked bootloader
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes, you can flash a custom kernel. No, unlocking the bootloader via Bootunlocker app doesn't wipe data. :)
[Nexus 5 General] CrashOverride1995:
Thanks but I am unlocking my boot loader for the first time will it still save my data??
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Unlocking the bootloader from fastboot will wipe the device completely due to security reasons no matter how many times you unlock it. However, unlocking the bootloader from the bootunlocker app won't.

Root is not the problem. Its what you do after root that stops OTAs are pointless anyway. Just flash rooted stock.

[Nexus 5 General] danarama:

[Nexus 5 General] morkdaddy21:
For people using this method, a lot of people are having issues with step 12, TWRP getting stuck at 0% during install. You have to use this link: (http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hammerhead/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-hammerhead.img) and copy to SD, then select the image. Should add that to the guide OP.
[Nexus 5 General] jssingh:

It probably is. However, I won't rewrite the guide until I can confirm it works 100% correctly.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Of course.

new guide could be

1) install and run towel root.. phone will reboot

2) after reboot from step 1, install and run SuperSU from play store

Didn't work for me

In the step 6 (Once installed, open it. If it asks to update, click the 'normal' option. It'll give an error. This is good.), I got a success message.

I've seen many exploits come and go, but whilst my crystal ball is in for repair, I can only answer questions based on what is possible at the time.
