I don't know your level of experience so I'm going back to basics.

You mentioned that you tried in Windows and OSX.

Where exactly are you issuing the command?

Are you in the adb shell?

Did you type 'adb shell' after pushing the file to the FTV?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp201:
After full unlocking of boot loader and using an ssh server on the firetv, when I connect I am stuck with a root prompt. is there a way to step down the shell to manage package installations. for some reason "pm" command is not functioning correctly with root. I wish to use this for remote administration, I suppose, using the commands "start adbd" and "stop adbd" from within an ssh term session and then connecting to adb port might suffice but I would prefer to keep adb service stopped since it is not password protected. campuses are always full of prowlers and pranksters at all times. thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mozzer27:
Hey Guys,

I have followed all steps and rebooted my FireTV using "adb reboot bootloader". The FireTV did reboot on command and has stopped on the white Amazon logo. I then unplugged the usb A to A cable and rebooted the device via hard reset. The FireTV did start up normally upon plugging the device back in the AC adapter.

My main concern is if I did in fact fully unlock the bootloader. After rebooting the FireTV there was no other information on the command prompt after running the command "adb reboot bootloader" so this is why I question it. I did enter command "adb shell" which then gives me "root@android".

Just a noob (I know you heard that before) looking for reassurance. Thank you in advance. You all do amazing work!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bula1ca:
That is normal and yes your root is fully unlocked if you get root@android when adb shell command is being sent.

Could this be used on the fire TV stick? version 54.1.0.2_user_102018720?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malfino:
I still have a sealed german fire tv, which came with 51.1.3.0_user_513010720, for which no software root is known.

After having studied the unlock-code at the original Fire HDX thread and the modified tool for the Fire TV I wonder if the following might be possible.

From the hdx thread the first steps:

adb shell
cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/manfid
cat /sys/block/mmcblk0/device/serial

create a file unlock.img with following content:
0xmmssssssss
where mm=manfid and ss=serial

encrypt it with my vortox fork of signing tool at

https://github.com/dpeddi/Cuber

./cuber_unlockbl --sign ./unlock.img ./unlock.signed

This seems identical, what the routine at https:// github.com/androidrbox/aftv-full-unlock/blob/master/jni/aftv-full-unlock.c does.

rbox said:

For what exactly is root necessary? You can get the manfid and serial without root.

The fire-tv-tool then base64 encodes the signed result from cuber.

snprintf(idme_cmd, sizeof(idme_cmd), "idme unlock_code %s\n", bptr->data);
system(idme_cmd);

That should be also possible without uid 0.

Before I brick my fire tv. I wondered if someone could shed some light, if I might succeed trying

a) using cuber manually to sign the unlock data, base64-encode it and unlock my bootloader with idme unlock

b) using cuber manually to sign the unlock data and use ./fastboot flash unlock unlock.signed like it is possible with the Fire HDX-devices.

After that I could fastboot boot twrp and finally get root and downgrade. Possible or did I miss something?

The bootloader on your fire tv is not vulnerable to this exploit so it is not going to work. That is the reason "Fire TVs with 51.1.0.2 or older" is stated.

adb after full-unlock-bootloader

Can someone please help me? AFTER installing unlocked bootloader, when connected to fire tv via adb, I no longer get a pop up window for Superuser request: Adb on the fire tv. I need to know if that is normal and if ADB automatically gets SuperSu rights?

PS: Adb still works fine just no popup asking me for Superuser request or a pop up saying saying Adb has been granted permission. Thanks

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bula1ca:
You most probably have a partial not a full unlock bootloader, that is why. CWM only needed a partial bootloader and so is boot menu however go ahead a fully unlock it, will help you later if for some reason box gets bricked.

Downgrading AFTV using a Mac

PLEASE HELP!

Has there been any update to AFTVnews posting titled "How to manually upgrade or downgrade the amazon fire tv". The instructions are old (June 2014)and don't seem to work. I've searched the internet and can't seem to find any way to downgrade AFTV before unlocking the bootloader.

Also, I can't find anything detailing how to use adbfire in order to downgrade AFTV.

In addition, I found information on how to downgrade AFTV firmware, but nothing for Mac users.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natet2003:
I'm running Pre-rooted 51.1.4.0_user514006420 and I'm fairly certain I need to update my Clockwork which is why i'm trying to follow the unlock guide online to fully unlock from following instructions.

However I hit a dead wall when just getting the process going. I've been stuck here long ago and I'm not revisiting this same issue once again.

When running the command.

shell@andorid:/ adb push aftv-full-unlock /data/local/tmp/

My return is

adb push aftv-full-unlock /data/local/tmp/
cannot stat 'aftv-full-unlock' : No such file or directory
1|shell@android:/ $

I have the file in the adb directory as instructed.

I really hope someone has some insight. I can't go beyond this version unless figured out to maintain root and when getting to this current firmware I'm on my FireTV doesn't ever sleep anymore.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vectorizing:
Hello All,

I have been looking for a reasonably fast download for the 4.4.2 NE9 update for my Verizon Samsung S5. I have found 2 links, one downloads at 15kb/s (sammobile) and the other downloads at 50kb/s (rapidgator). The estimated time remaining for the rapidgator is 12+ hours, and the sammobile link is even longer so I cancelled that. I have looked all over the forums for about an hour and have not had any luck. I found a lot of links for the G900F version of the phone and I'm not sure why I could easily find that version but not the Verizon version. Any ways, If anyone has a link they could throw at me so I can get this file within a reasonable hour tonight, that would be great.

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] gamer1000k:
This is a long standing problem I've had with several devices across several roms so it appears to be a fundamental android issue. I first noticed it after I started getting some of the Humble Mobile Bundles which often have large apks.

Some of the larger apks refuse to install (generic installation not successful error) when I have an sd card in my device, but upon removing the card and rebooting the offending apk will install just fine.

Are there any workarounds to this issue? So far I've had it on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-i545 Verizon) on both Touchwiz and GPE roms and my nvidia Shield LTE tablet. It gets really annoying to have to remove the case and pull the sd card every time I want to install a large app.

[XDA Assist] expat42451:
Did several searches here on XDA and with Google before posting this thread-

I purchased an LG V400 Gpad 7 a week ago. After rooting it I installed OS Monitor, busy box , a terminal emulator and Droidwall- I have a little bit of experience with Android but am by no means knowledgeable.

The tablet does not have a place for a SIM card i.e. wifi only. I find even using Droidwall to try to cut down connections to the outside world, that there are a bunch of TCP6 connections either close/wait or ack/wait or established. I have been using Elixir to discover processes and kill or disable them when possible. Many times kill only results in a respawn. In addition to this killing isn't persistent i.e. next reboot everything is back. A number of them for example LG Hidden menu, G System server, LGATCMD service - and others- seem to want to 1)establish outside connections 2) looking at their permissions, they want to know everything and 3) some of them aren't killable even through the terminal emulator i.e. kill -9 pid#.

I like what the tablet allows me to do. I don't like everything talking to the world in process of this. Couple of questions 1) is there a way to get rid of this crap- why for example since its not a phone do I need LG Hidden menu running and establishing outside connections and 2) Anyone know of a ROM here on XDA that might work with this tablet?

Thanks for all of the expertise here - any suggestions would be deeply appreciated..

You can't because the stock kernel has write protection enabled. You need a custom kernel with write protection disabled like ElementalX.. check the original Android development section.

If you want to keep your stock kernel, what you can do :

Make a nandroid backup of your current ROM with your custom recovery

Install custom kernel

Reboot, make changes to build.prop

Reboot and see whether the modified build.prop still there

Reboot to recovery, restore boot only

Done.
