You need to run adb push command from your regular cmd prompt, not inside your shell. Better yet, if you have ES File manager app on your FTV, simply share a drive./folder with only RO permissions on your computer which holds your zip file and map that share in the app and pull it using the GUI (copy/paste). I actually like this better than command prompt for large files as I can see real time progress of the transfer process. Another option is use something like WebKey and transfer files over a browser from your computer.

Everything on the command prompt completed successfully, and restarted to update. But the system update failed.... yet again

any idea why it would fail ? Im rooted have busybox installed and on 51.1.1.0_user_511070220, trying to downgrade to 51.1.0.2_user_510058520
[Fire TV General] dbdoshi:
Ok, I am assuming that when you reboot your FTV after completing the downgrade steps, the FTV shows an error message and boots back into the current firmware.

Assuming that....

Go to http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-manually-upgrade-or-downgrade-the-amazon-fire-tv/

I am sure you are following the guide step by step. What you will do is, scroll down the guide and go to the section titled "If downgrading fails:". Follow that line by line and run that on your FTV (important to run all the rm commands to get rid of the stuff you pushed to FTV). Once done, reboot your FTV normally.

Next, start working through the steps one by one from the very top (you do not need to re-download files if you already have them on your computer, but you will re-push them back to FTV as the previous steps in the "If downgrading fails" will get rid of those files from FTV)

AND STOP AFTER STEP 8. FOR STEP 9, DO NOT RUN THE COMMAND LISTED THERE

. Instead, you will run:

echo “--update_package=/cache/update.zip” > command

Note, there is a double quotation mark before -- and after zip.

Follow the guide from Step 10 onwards.

IF YOU SUCCESSFULLY DOWNGRADE, IT WILL REMOVE ROOT. RUN TOWELROOT AND RE-ROOT IT. ONCE RE-ROOTED, RUN THE DISABLE COMMAND ON FTV TO STOP OTA UPGRADES (Not sure if you need to run that command, but run it anyways...)

Let us know how it goes....

Update Failed

Indeed following that guide step by step, so you're help is very much appreciated. I will let you how things turn out soon.

Once again, thank you for the detailed updated steps, dbdoshi.
[Fire TV General] dbdoshi:
I am out of ideas then... I had the same problem and putting step 9 in double quotes fixed it for me. Sorry, I don't have anything more to offer... Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in...

Recovery

Ok so i bought my fire tv from the black friday deals for $79 just got it and i'm trying to downgrade using the AFTVnews guide so I can have CWM...i'm already rooted, busy box installed, kodi, es file explorer & chrome. In the AFTVnews guide it says if downgrade fails try "adb push recovery.img /sdcard/".....no matter what I do it says cannot stat recovery.img no such file or directory....I even tried putting it in system32 folder and running the full path in the command.

So my question is If I use the Utility app (V 0.36) and hit the change recovery button w/ the stock recovery I downloaded 51.1.0 will it brick the fire tv? because I got a warning screen when I pressed the button but I cancelled.

And what should be my next step do I go back to adb & run the commands

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

then command: rm -f /cache/*.bin

Run the command: rm -f /cache/*.zip

Run the command: rm -f /cache/recovery/command

Run the command: rm -f /sdcard/recovery.img

before repeating the downgrade process

I'm really trying to get some help but a lot of my questions are going unanswered
[Fire TV General] ashsha7877:
ADB commands to check/delete .zip, .bin.

I have successfully downgraded my fire tv, install CWM, installed Rbox boot menu, unlock bootloader, upgraded to Pre rooted firmware. Everything boots up fine i have tested the normal boot and recover boot which boots up in CWM.

My question is how do i check which .zip files and . bin files are still on the fire tv after the firmware downgraded and updates were performed? What ADB command should i use?

I try to use the ES file explore and the sd analyzer function but it only shows xbmc was taking up about 460mb space and few other files but it does not add up to 2gb used up space SD analyzer is showing.

what adb commands should i use to delete these files? Do i have to delete these files in certain orders and will cause any problems after i delete this files.?

Are there other files i should delete to free up space after the firmware downgrades and upgrades process and after installing CWM?

Thank you

Trying to downgrade

I am rooted and have su and Busybox installed and I'm trying to downgrade from 51.1.1.0_user_511070220 to 51.1.1.0.2_user_510058520. I have OTA updates blocked via my router. Do I have to unblock the sites for the downgrade to work...just got my device rooted and don't want to chance having it update.

thanks
[Fire TV General] roligov:
This guide I posted is well out of date, there are others methods to follow.

Please use http://www.aftvnews.com/tag/guide/ as is it up to date and current.
[Fire TV General] dk1keith:
Thanks for the quick response. I'll give that a try.
[Fire TV General] Sizzlechest:
Chances are that if you need to downgrade the firmware, you also need to overwrite the recovery partition in order for it to work. Before you do the downgrade, follow the directions at the bottom of the guide to downgrade the stock 51.1.0 recovery partition.

BTW, I use the AFTV guide, but I also use the "Amazon FireTV Utility App" to automate a lot of the processes, like fully unlocking the bootloader, etc.
[Fire TV General] dk1keith:
I tried again to downgrade and even tried to upgrade using the AFTVNews guide. The result is the same whether upgrading or downgrading. update.zip copies fine Fire TV reboots and stays on white Amazon Logo with yellow light on Fire TV. Probably something I am missing but not sure what. I have rooted and installed custom recovery, unlocked bootloader on other Fire TV so I have a pretty good idea what I'm doing, just not sure what I'm missing on the downgrade

51.1.4.0_514006420 back to root??

I had my firetv rooted and everything. Have the updates also switched off.

But then i updated it manually to 51.1.4.0_514006420 version and lost the root.. I can see supersu and towelroot installed but it does not have the option of running.

Experts - Is there a possibility i can go back to the rootable version of sw? What would that version be?
[Fire TV General] Sizzlechest:
Super SU doesn't open. That's normal. Just do an adb shell and test you have root.
[Fire TV General] saudagar:
usually superSU shows 'Launch Application'.. which is no longer being shown. its shows as an application but no launch

i connected to FTV and it shows following on command prompt:

C:\FTV>adb connect 192.168.1.3

connected to 192.168.1.3:5555

C:\FTV>adb shell su

root@android:/ #

Does this mean its rooted?
[Fire TV General] Sizzlechest:
That's normal. I think it's how the newer SuperSU behaves.

Yes. If you unlocked the bootloader fully, then even "adb shell" would result in root@android.

Somebody said on other thread ..its not possible to downgrade firmware on fire tv..is that true...??anyone pls...[emoji106] thanks
[Fire TV General] dbdoshi:
No, it cannot be currently rooted. For ref see; http://www.aftvnews.com/start/ There is a thread of hardware rooting if you are good with soldering/wiring.

Also, it might not be a good idea to put the serial number (and your amazon account name/device name) of your FTV publicly. You should take down the picture.

[Fire TV General] HookedonHD:
manual update issues on firestick with adb

I know this is an old thread however, I found one of my old gen 1 firestick today and it was stuck on 5.2.1.0 firmware and it would NOT update. I think it's because I had blocked updates in the past and had kingroot installed on it. So, I did a factory reset and same issue can't update. So, followed the instructions on here and another forum and I put the zip file under /cache folder with adblink after I ran adb reboot recovery I got an "error device '(null)' not found " and nothing happened to my firestick. So, I turned off my firestick then back on but now all I get is the "amazon" logo with black screen and nothing happens. Is there way to get it back? Thanks in advance!

PREAMBLE

Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. Its a fully touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

NOTE:

I have built and tested this on my Lenovo A3000-H (16 GB version with 3G) with the a3000_prc_3gfull board/partition table. This is not going to work with FUSE devices!

I'll keep this thread short and simple. Want a changelog or a list of features? Then visit teamw.in.

I am not a total noob and have done alot of research lately about my problem but have not found a concrete answer. It looks like there are alot of knowledgable people here. My problem is I was trying to get my friends T999 T-Moble phone to KK (CM11) It was already on Official 4.3 so I just rooted it, put TWRP on it, then flashed CM11. Now it looks like I have no signal at all but I don't know if that is caused by not having a Sim inserted.

Did I bork the Modem? If so, What can I do to get it back to stock. Dont care about the warranty counter. Currently I have the stock 4.3 image:

T999UVUENC2_T999TMBENC2_TMB

I have Odin 3.07

I am worried about flashing back down to Official 4.3 since I read about other downgrade issue. I had also made a backup in TWRP of the Stock Rooted rom. I am going to try and restore that to see if that helps or not.

If anyone knowledgeable can help me get it back to stock or at least return signal, I would gladly donate $15 for their time and efforts. In my line of work time is money and there isn't any free IT support. Thanks Guys!

Kind Regards,

Zachariah

I was using my phone in the shower and I made sure before that my back cover and my charging port cover was sealed. But during my shower, my music gets fuzzy and the speaker doesn't work very well. Help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] miller1821:
The phone is not waterproof, it is water resitant. It is not meant to purposely get wet. The speakers still get water in them but not in the phone. The purpose of the protection is to not get water inside the phone. Thats what the muffeled sound is. Once the speakers dry out, it will go back to normal. People misunderstand the purpose of the water protection. It is not made so you can take it in the shower and use it because if it was, it would be waterproof. It is made for accidents like if you accidently drop your phone in the toilet or in the dishwater then in that case the phone will not be ruined.
