I have done this and when i check for updates i get an error, don't know if it is working correctly.
[Fire TV General] slybas:
Glad to help. The pm list packages -d (disabled packages) is empty because debloater hides the packages and not disables them.

shell@sloane:/ $ pm list packages -d
pm list packages -d
shell@sloane:/ $

There is nothing to see.

1|shell@sloane:/ $ pm list packages | grep dcp
pm list packages | grep dcp
1|shell@sloane:/ $ pm list packages | grep pico
pm list packages | grep pico
package:com.svox.pico
shell@sloane:/ $

My version is now 5.0.3.1 because I unhid the packages and updated the machine, now the packages are hidden again and System --> About --> "installed Date" and "Last Checked" are both "Checking now......" and if I select Check for System Update I get an Update error. Perfect !
[Fire TV General] zeroepoch:
I get the same error now as well after running (as root):

pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota

No idea if this actually blocks updates or just the checking. I guess we'll have to wait until the next update.
[Fire TV General] mifran:
Hi my firestick is running version 54.1.2.3_user_123067020 and it says it is not rooted and does not support block mode I have the latest version of deblocker and adbfire . windows 10
[Fire TV General] Ludacrisvp:
You haven't updated to FireOS 5 which is required to use this.
[Fire TV General] ImCoKeMaN:
Hmm, so fire tv stick didn't seem to get any root love other than soldering and man that stick is tiny for soldering. I'm debating if I want to let an update to latest then block. Anyone have any thoughts on if fire TV stick will ever get a software root?
[Fire TV General] mifran:
OK thanks I realised this now would updating to 5 mean re-installing kodi and firestarter and losing all the addons
[Fire TV General] mifran:
Just chucked and there is no update for the UK version I have the latest installed
[Fire TV General] Ludacrisvp:
I didn't lose anything in my update from FireOS 3. If you revert from 5 to 3 then you have to lose everything.

You have to opt-in for FireOS 5 from the Amazon developer account (free).
[Fire TV General] mifran:
Thanks for the info will check it out
[Fire TV General] Deleted member 5149701:
I don't know if adbFire is connected, last night I was able to install FireStarter. This morning, I don't know if adbFire is connecting and Debloater isn't showing anything, or do I need to use USB to USB to do this?
[Fire TV General] Lol.:
Does this work on the Fire Stick? Also, what's the benefit of this method? I can't think of a reason to do this, unless you had a Fire TV on the old OS and hadn't a chance to root it yet?
[Fire TV General] jocala:
adbFire doesn't block updates on OS5. It uses:

pm disable com.amazon.dcp

not

pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota

An updated adbFire version which addresses OS5 changes is under development.
[Fire TV General] :
Don't I need to connect via adbFire to use Debloater?
[Fire TV General] jocala:
Sorry, no idea. Since adbFire was mentioned, I just wanted to make sure that someone rooted on OS5 wouldn't use adbFire to block ota.
[Fire TV General] :
Still need to root mine as well.
[Fire TV General] nav.jot:

Unfortunately your device is neither rooted nor supports block mode, the program will now close

OK

Doesnt work for me
[Fire TV General] anonymouzz:
What about this package: com.amazon.device.software.ota.override ?

Should this be disabled as well? Btw: I noticed you removed 3 other packages that you previously advised for removal/disabling. Was just wondering why.

--Thanks
[Fire TV General] Sajhid:
How do you connect Debloater to FTV1?

Wirelessly or USB?

Any drivers needed to connect them?

Thanks
[Fire TV General] fcisco13:
Wireles, what i did was connect adbfire and launch debloater.
[Fire TV General] Sajhid:
Thank you. Will try it soon. Really appreciate it.
[Fire TV General] FlexiPack:
Thanks for the tutorial. I think it's worked for me on my unrooted Firestick.

Using Debloater I unchecked DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk.

There were also the following entries:

DeviceSoftwareOTAContracts.apk

DeviceSoftwareOTAIdleOverride.apk

Do these these need to be hidden/blocked?
[Fire TV General] midnatsol:
Debloater

Anyone have Terminal Commands for Mac...?.. or can you use adbFire to put Debater onto your Amazon TV Stick...?

Thank You
[Fire TV General] mbsans:
I just went ahead and successfully blocked both of those two services "DeviceSoftwareOTAContracts.apk" and."DeviceSoftwareOTAIdleOverride.apk", in addition to the main one "DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk", no issues at all.

--

By the way, the method in this thread was the best by far for me, as I don't have root yet and blocking updates from the router seems to not have worked. Thanks a lot to the OP.
[Fire TV General] Pat1981:
sucessfully done with debloater tool (firetv1 stick 5.0.5 build 537174420) and adb drivers. Via wifi adb doesn't work (tells offline)

one little quesstion: when I reset the device, will it be automatic enabled again or will it bricked through initial setup process problems?

should it be enabled before reset? (blocking updates also via router but at my girlfriends wifi i can't block it)

br

pat
[Fire TV General] Ludacrisvp:
just connect adb over wifi and use 'pm hide' to disable things you don't want.

I tested by installing Firestarter and 'hiding' the stock launcher, it does disable it.

doesn't show up in 'ps' or 'top' nor does it launch at startup anymore and the only launcher running is FireStarter .... this does disable access to the settings on the device though.

Example:

shell@montoya:/ $ pm hide com.amazon.tv.launcher
Package com.amazon.tv.launcher new hidden state: true

to restore it just use 'unhide'

shell@montoya:/ $ pm unhide com.amazon.tv.launcher
Package com.amazon.tv.launcher new hidden state: false

So in other words skip the debloater app and just use the built in package manager to handle disabling apps / services without needing root, if you have root you can use 'pm disable' instead of hide, not sure how it would be different in the end though..
[Fire TV General] Don_Black:
No need for Debloater tool. Use ADB fire to connect to fire stick open shell command. block update using the following cmd.

For 1st-gen Fire TV & Fire tv stick, run the command: pm disable com.amazon.dcp
[Fire TV General] Jord1986:
Working for me! I used to use fire starter and will miss the update features it has for updating kodi. Does anyone have a method for reinstalling fire starter?
[Fire TV General] axxel6307:
Been reading this thread and some others around the net. I am a bit confused now but this is what I did to my NOT rooted first gen Fire Tv Box that still has 5.0.5:

Used adb cmd to push "pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota" to my box. Then when I go to system update I get an error message, which I assume is good and means it worked. I'm still on 5.0.5 and my firestarter still works.

However, I read here that "pm disable com.amazon.dcp" should have been pushed to OS5.

Did I do this correctly? Will I be update proof as long as I don't factory reset?
[Fire TV General] jacob42691:
Just confirmed that this indeed works. After running the code, go to Settings > About > System Update. You will see that it gives a system update error "Unfortunately we encountered an error while trying to update your system software. Please try again later."
[Fire TV General] Ludacrisvp:
If you don't have root you can't use "pm disable" you don't have permission to do that.
[Fire TV General] axxel6307:
Okay thanks.
[Fire TV General] darren1:
Use "pm hide" without root.
[Fire TV General] axxel6307:
Actually that's what i used. Not pm disable. I mistyped my original post. I'm not rooted. Thanks man.
[Fire TV General] axxel6307:
As I said, method 2 worked. I am curious to know if one needed to factory reset if there is a strategy in place from allowing it to update since that's the first thing it does upon factory reset. Is it possible to redo method 2 before you allow it to connect to the Internet?
[Fire TV General] mifran:
my firetvstick has updated twice to v5 and i have now run debloater latest version to stop further updates and side loaded firestopper everything fine so far
[Fire TV General] eranyanay:
Once applied, the entire launcher isn't working. "..is unavailable"

What do you once disabled updates, but without root?
[Fire TV General] mifran:
Which launcher have you disabled ? . any thing you disable can be re- enabled in deblocker
[Fire TV General] shaDNfro:
Does anyone know the update routine of the versions? I am currently on fire os 5.0.4 just updated from 5.0.3.1. I would like to update to 5.0.5, does anyone know if I can do that or will the next update go to 5.0.5.1 (which I definitely want to avoid)

edit:

works like a charm! Just updatet to 5.0.5 and blocked autoupdates on this state!
[Fire TV General] s1w999:
Nothing happens

I get all the way to click "Apply" on the debloater tool and when I click it the window just disappears and updating is not disabled on AFTV......any ideas?
[Fire TV General] fcisco13:
What is it?? Did it go in order or did it jump to newest??
[Fire TV General] d3adpool:
when i bought my aftv 2 a couple months ago it went in order, or at least tried. I was on 5.0.5.1 and it had downloaded 5.2.1.0 but I was able to root before it was actually installed.
[Fire TV General] JUSTINMARMER:
I'm on 5.2.1.2 and pm hide no longer works. My stick still checks for updates with no errors.
[Fire TV General] chrcol:
can you please paste the guide from step 2? XDA says I dont have permission to view that page.

never mind guide isnt needed, this can be done without an extra tool, just need ADB cli and can connect over network like this (note my amazon firetv box ip is 192.168.1.7)

adb connect 192.168.1.7
[Fire TV General] Raiyzo:
I have the Fire TV stick without Alexa on Fire OS 5.2.4.1.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Issal:
Screen froze, possibly battery?

Just a few hours after I made a thread asking how to keep my Nexus 9 working for as long as possible I ran into trouvle. I was using my Nexus 9, surfing on Chrome in landscape mode while it charged ( battery was on the low side) suddenly the screen froze with some greyish horizontal small line segments and it would not turn of. After I held the power button for quite a bit longer than I'd have to normally it powered off, but not on again, not even that little vibration, so I let it charge for a while, then that little empty battery sign appeared but it would not turn on, after a few more minutes it had changed to the charging animation and turned on, and it turns out the battery was at 3%!

Now, it does seem like it just ran out of battery even though it was charging, but if it was just that why did it freeze so hard and why did I not get any low battery warnings?

Thanks!
[Moto G 2015 General] mykenyc:
I don't know how or when but the top grill got punctured inward. By inspecting it with a bright light it appears there is only a very thin plastic sheet blocking the outside world from getting in so to speak. So when I get my replacement I plan on attempting to cover the grill even if it means a tad lower speaker output, even though it shouldn't. So my advice is not sticking anything in there like cleaning it as I seen other mentioned.
[Moto G 2015 General] MahaDEVELOPER:
Where are you getting a replacement from because when I contacted them they said I have to send it into repairs.

[Android Apps and Games] vincespeed:
Hello guys,

I would like to show you my new game, Slot Rally AR- Slotcar racing.

It's inspired by slotcars (Scalextric and co.), but it has an arcade approach fused with a physics-based derail sistem. This translates in a very simple game mechanics: one button to accelerate and one to unleash the boost you can collect by drifting. The app features an arcade mode (vs cpu, bluetooth versus and time attack), and a whole new Augmented Reality mode (race or showroom), this allows players to play slotcars on their desk.:)

Here's the link to download the app from Google Play:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utini:
So I ordered a new Nexus 6 because of a warranty case and after opening the new originally sealed Nexus 6 I found out that there are no earbuds within the package? Also the official Google Website lists the Nexus 6 now without ear pods. But my original ordered Nexus 6 (6 months ago) came with ear pods.

Are there any other changes I should take notice of ?

It's waste in the age of Bluetooth accessories: might as well send a cassette tape for extra storage. The only things wired in my house are appliances, lights, and mechanical bull.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
I'm glad I didn't get any crappy generic ear buds with my phone. Have too many of those already (or actually had, they've all gone to electronics heaven)...

Completely agree with [MENTION=4982657]orangechoochoo[/MENTION]. If I want to listen to music or use a headset I connect my bluetooth Sennheisers.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Monarch73:
Hi,

I just managed to get my ftpServer ready. I was a bit bugged by exchaning Files using ActiveSync or MicroSD Memorycard. So I started to develop this little tool and now that it starts being useable, I would like to share this with you.

http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=Q0UBFMS4

I tested it with some cheap ftpclients like ftp-Commandline in linux, FireFTP for Firefox or cuteftp.

Notice, that it only supports passive ftp-filetransfers, so windows commandline ftp won't work. It also can't display real filesizes and filedates. The one's xfer'd are fake! There is no authentification needed to login. It just lets in every user.

There is no multithreading support. Once there is one connection estabished, the server is full! Only one data-transmission at a time!

There still might be some little bugs and timingproblems but, like I said before, I think ist kind of usable for small tasks.

I have to add that I take no responsibility for possible loss of data and stuff like that. Of cource, I did'nt make any effords to destroy anything, though. You use this thing on your own risk.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Dovigoldberger:
It looks to me like its pretty good on battery. I only tested the usage time and not the standby time.

I had my phone on for 8 1/2 hours and my location was on the whole time with high accuracy enabled. I had Bluetooth on the whole time. Screen was set to auto.

Screen on time: 5:40

calls: 2:20

Waze: around an hour

and all the rest like emails, whatsapp, facebook, text, etc...

Did anyone see how the standby time affects the battery?
