Ok so after so much pain placing the binaries ( su and busybox ) and the Superuser.apk and chmod them correctly i have an error.

[IMG="Tab_su_error"]http://s12.postimg.org/u7popj3b1/WP_20160112_005.jpg[/IMG]

For those who couldnt see it properly, I am gonna type the whole thing again

u0_a62@android:/$ su
\java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: broadcast asks to run as user -1 but is calling from user 0; this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USER_FULL or android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USER at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:1425)

Permission Denied

Well i know this is a signature problem, and i need a solution.

Things I can do :

I have FULL ACCESS TO THE WHOLE SYSTEM. ( Its a dual os tab (triple os becoz i live boot linux for chmod))

And that means read/write access to everything on the system itself.

I need to remove this permission if possible.

Android OS : 4.2.2 Jelly Bean

Busybox runs without any problems.

Well it shows all the info on busybox(before it shows permission denied instead), but if i try mount it says mount : operation not permitted.

#I did make 2 posts before about rooting my tab which didn't get even replied once so pls reply ASAP.

[Fire TV General] N4b0:
Hi,

I just had the problem of being behind a Http/Https proxy and there is currently no option available to set this on the fire TV Stick.

Android offers this option at least since version 4 by default but they must have deactivatetd this feature intenionaly (region rights and such things).

But it is still possible.

1. Setup your AFTVS on a normal Wifi with internet connection ( if not already done)

2. Activate Apps from unkown sources and ADB

Settings --> System --> Developersoptions

3. Make sure your are connected to the same network as your pc.

4. Sideload following app:

AndroidProxySetter:
github.com/jpkrause/AndroidProxySetter/releases

How To sideload:
aftvnews.com/sideload/#more-7959

5. Start the App over adb on your pc:

//connect to device
adb connect 192.168.1.184:5555
//check the connection
adb -s 192.168.1.184:5555 get-state
//start app
adb -s 192.168.1.184:5555 shell am start -n tk.elevenk.proxysetter/.MainActivity -e host 192.168.56.1 -e port 8080 -e ssid PrivateWifi -e key Passw0rd

Where u would replace the device ip, host, port, ssid and key with the settings of your network.

Please mind that ur on a linux based system and everything is case sensitiv.

For more options look here:

github.com/jpkrause/AndroidProxySetter

5. Now, if everything is fine some little popups will be displayed and at last it should say connected.

6. Going back to the home screen and Done.

Known issues: After some major updates you will need to set the proxy again, so just repeat step 4

It should also run on the normal AFTV but i got none so i can't test it.

All Credit goes to JPKrause who wrote that little app, I just happend to find it :)
[Fire TV General] N4b0:
Update 21.06.2016:

With Fire Os 5.2.1.0 it seems like you cant start adb on the device itself so you have to start the proxysetter over adb on your pc.

This "new" way doesnt require to install the terminal emulator anymore and its actually more comfortable.

best regards N4b0

how to setting up proxy using pac file?

how to setting up proxy using pac file?
[Fire TV General] N4b0:
Hi,

well I guess the AndroidProxySetter doesn't cover any way to use PAC files.

But you can actually open your pac file with an editor of your choise and extract your proxy settings from the containing functions.

[Fire TV General] mastodonian:
Hello, I have this working on a Fire Stick, I ran the commands on a Fire TV and is not working. Anyone has this working on a AFT (no stick)?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

edit: it not working anymore on my fire tv stick, I see the connection going to the proxy but in the screen it says invalid_geo_ip, somehow they manage to get my original ip. My gf is american, and we are abroad, this was the only way to watch amazon content. Sad. I'll try to get a vpn instead, but this proxy setting was easy configuration.
[Fire TV General] N4b0:
Hi mastodonian,

in my case it still works like a charm on the AFTVS. I just tried it over a vpn that my home server provides, but the tv stick then says something about geo restriction even though its a german vpn. I suppose they are doing some kind of deep packet inspection or they got an ip blacklist.

Can't say but eventually the proxy you are tring to connect uses internally a vpn or is on a blacklist.

Cheers n4b0
[Fire TV General] gjhech:
can someone help me with this one im a bit slow on following instructions especially codes like these :(
[Fire TV General] TheFixItMan:
its pretty simple just do the following

Download adblock plus and install it on your firestick - use the power of google or an app store on your fire stick to get it

Download this app to your pc - https://github.com/jpkrause/Android...d/v0.1.3-alpha/proxy-setter-release-0.1.3.apk

Adb this app to your firestick by (assuming you have adb installed if not google howto)

enable adb on the fire stick in dev options if not already done so

adb connect 192.168.1.1 (change the ip address to your firesticks)

adb devices (you should see a list of devices connected if adb is working with your firestick ip address and port number)

adb install (then drag and drop the apk file into the command window - This will auto complete the path of the apk to save you entering it manually)

once the apk is installed

adb -s 192.168.1.1:5555 shell am start -n tk.elevenk.proxysetter/.MainActivity -e host localhost -e port 2020 -e ssid MyWifiName -e key MyWifiKey
Starting: Intent { cmp=tk.elevenk.proxysetter/.MainActivity (has extras) }

Change the ip address in the above code to your firestick ip address - the numbers after the : is the port address - it should match what you saw when you typed adb devices

Change the ssid to your wifi name and key to your wifi password

you will get some pop up windows on the firestick telling you if it has succeeded or you have errors

next open adblock plus and enable adblocking

restart the firestick

open adblock plus again and you shouldnt see the warning about it cannot manually set the proxy at the top of the screen

load up an adblock test website to test its working
[Fire TV General] Lav64:
Thank you for making this method clear and easy. However, even though I get the successful messages and the proxy chnages to localhost and the Port to 2020, Ad Block Plus still shows the "please configure manually" message after reboot.

Testing on some apps, the ads are most definitely not blocked!

Any suggestions?
[Fire TV General] xbarsasy:
Thanks for malking this app , I just have a problem , netflix connects directly and not through the proxy , any idea how to force connecting through proxy ,
[Fire TV General] uj812:
It works perfect

I bought FireStick today and it wouldn't let me connect to Amazon as my ISP has made mandatory to use HTTP proxy.

I followed your step wise instructions and it worked. Thanks a ton :)
[Fire TV General] pdesai91:
Hello,

Thank you for this! One issue: I'm unable to disable to proxy via adb... is there a specific way to do this? I've attempted to uninstall the apk file and clear data, but it still remains connected to the host.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
[Fire TV General] N4b0:
Hi,

I actually had to do this myslef recently so what i did was just remove the network via the GUI and add the network again.

If you have to do this over ADB you should try to remove the network and add it without proxy flag

Cheers N4b0
[Fire TV General] N4b0:
Well I have to clarify i did not make this app i just found it and put it to good use ;)

On the issue i cant really say how to force him using the proxy. This method just configures the android intigrated Wifi network stack that supports proxys since 2.X is suppose. If an app like Netflix detects this, then u need an other method.

For windows i got an app called Proxifier, but until now i didnt find anything similar for android.

Only alternativ solution for your problem I can think of would be to configure your Accesspoint with a VPN on a second virtual network (well that's how i would do it).

Cheers N4b0

Hi All,

-I posted as a guest but didnt see my message, so posting again. sorry if it will be duplicate-

After Fire OS 6.2.1.3 upgrade, this wonderful proxysetter app doesn't seem to work anymore. I tried both 0.1.3 and 0.2 versions and it can not set the proxy.
[Fire TV General] uj812:
Facing the same issue, unable to connect to Amazon after October update.

Any workaround available?
[Fire TV General] phildani7:
Not working for me too

I recently bought a fire tv stick. But unfortunately unable to make http proxy work. Kindly advice.
[Fire TV General] jettaz:
Solved... I think

Not sure if anybody is still interested in this, but I recently uninstalled the apk and was unable to install it again getting the following error: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE]

The solution is simple! The latest version of the FIreTV OS includes a proxy setting!

Just follow Step 1. in the instructions here:

Blocked

The original instructions are posted on the Amazon appstore -> Appstore Blogs -> Viewing Secure (SSL/HTTPS) Traffic From Your App on Fire TVs Running Fire OS 6 on November 02, 2018

Since I've been blocked from posting a URL, here are the slightly modified instructions:

Setting a proxy on Fire TV

Bring up the Developer Tools Menu by one of the following two ways:

Remote: 1) Press and hold the Select and Down buttons for five seconds release and then 2) Press the menu button

ADB: adb shell am start -n com.amazon.ssm/.ControlPanel

Select Network Proxy

Select Manual

Enter your proxy IP address

Enter your proxy port

Click Save

Enjoy! :D
[Fire TV General] manishsoni21:
Hi All,

These proxy setting were working for me until the last update on OS 6.x and OS 7.x. The Developer setting app crashes on selecting save on the Network settings and the IP/port info is not saved.

Is someone else facing same issue.. Any work arounds?
[Fire TV General] vignesh0989:
Try this. It worked for me.

Use this .apk AndroidProxySetter. Install and follow the commands. It will route Network traffic to Charles proxy.

Best Buy and others are carrying them, I have purchased several of them and I really enjoy them for being an all in one solution. I would like better AudioIQ and Mic as seen in the 665 versions, but for now its battery life works ok, I see between 4 and 6 hours of solid use, purchasing 2 of them will get you through a days worth of airplane travel and they have great standby time. The music isn't bad and the lack of cables makes them function pretty well for my needs...

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad78:
Anyone having this issue? It will play around 10-15 secs then it will prompt me this.. Only happening on 4K contents. The problem is I cannot uninstall Netflix as it was embedded on the shield. I already signout, restart the machine but still getting this.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBungle67:
Is the shield TV connected to a HDCP 2.2 compliant HDMI input on your TV?

Also, try another account. I used to have this problem a lot on the built-in Netflix app on my samsung TV, and for some reason changing from my kid's profile to mine playing the exact same thing would work.

I have never seen this on my Shield TV, unless my internet connection drops...
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad78:
do you think hdmi rated 10.6gb is not enough?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBungle67:
I am not sure...

But 10.2Gb/s is hdmi 1.4 / HDCP 1.4...while HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 is 18Gbps.

Did you try the HDMI cable provided with the Shield? This is the one I use and have no problem.

And again, the input used on the TV has to be HDCP 2.2 compliant. On my Samsung TV (2014) for example, only HDMI 3 can do HDMI2.0+HDCP 2.2 (only 30hz), all other inputs are HDMI 2.0 (at 60hz) but non HDCP 2.2 compliant.

What TV brand / model do you have?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad78:
I'm sorry it's 10.2gb

Here's my dilemma.. YouTube on shield was set to 2160p played without any issue.. Not a single buffer. Very smooth

I checked the settings on shield it was set to 4K 30hz. Yes I'm using the provided hdmi from shield going to my 4K Sony receiver.

My tv is Vizio 4K 2015 model. At the back of the TV I have 4 HDMI. It was set to hdmi 1 which is 30hz. I tried swapping to HDMI 2 60hz but I'm getting the same problem.

Ill try uninstall updates on Netflix as soon as I get home and keep you posted. Or probably try rooting the hell out of the shield and sideload netflix from play store
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBungle67:
Here's the deal...youtube doesn't care about content protection, so anyone with a 4k tv can stream 4k content from youtube. HDMI 1.4 will support 4k resolution at 30hz no problem, so no problem with youtube. Netflix however, cares. So streaming Netflix in 4k requires all your involved components (shield TV, receiver, TV) to be HDCP 2.2 compliant (HDCP = High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) + HDMI cables supporting the necessary bandwidth for 4k+HDCP2.2 (18Gbps).

4k receivers might have all HDMI inputs HDCP2.2 compliant, some have 1 only, some have none, all depending of how old and how much you paid for it.

If I were you, before uninstalling netflix updates and stuff, I would connect the shield TV directly to the TV (no receiver), and see if the problem persists. From what I read online, if you have a 2015 Vizio M series, only input 5 will do 4k+HDCP 2.2

"Only one HDMI input, Input 5, is compatible with both newfangled HDMI connection protocols, namely HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 copy protection. The former allows 4K frame rates up to 60Hz, the fastest currently available. The latter allows the TV to accept copy-protected 4K content over HDMI, from devices like the Sony FMP-X10 media player, the Nvidia Shield playing back certain copy-protected content such as Netflix 4K, and forthcoming 4K Blu-Ray content. 2015 4K TVs from Samsung, Sony and LG offer multiple so-equipped inputs.

The other four are version 1.4, meaning they can handle 1080p sources up to 60Hz and 4K sources up to 30Hz. Of those four, only two support HDCP 2.2."

http://www.cnet.com/products/vizio-m-series-2015/2/

I spent hours and hours reading about all that stuff...and this is a huge headache for consumers!!!! To get my system where I want it to be, I'd have to spend $400 on a "Samsung evolution kit" + another $500 on a receiver!! Just because of all that HDCP BS...
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad78:
Thanks man.. What a good read. I'll try your recommendation for sure.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad78:
so i directly inserted the HDMI cable from TV to shield showed all "ultra HD" menu.. i just realized that my 4K sony receiver is not HDCP 2.2 supported. Damn!

definitely, my 4K vizio TV is HDCP 2.2 capable since i can play netflix ultra HD on it.

thanks..
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBungle67:
Yep...As I said 4K is going to be a massive headache for consumers...Netflix, Amazon, 4k bluray players, STBs etc will all require HDCP2.2... Many people are going to buy those new 4k TVs, to soon realize that their receivers, soundbars and other peripherals won't be able to work anymore. It's really a pain considering how much a good receiver costs...

What makes it even more of a BS is that this whole thing is only about content protection and encryption of the video signal to avoid piracy...guess what, it's already been cracked. All the 4k content from Netflix is already available on torrents. Yet we have to spend extra $$$ on hardware for legitimate content we are already paying for. Anyways...

Glad I could help!

WHAT YOU NEED

Bootloader unlocked

Some experience with Fastboot, Recovery and Flashtool ;)

If you don't know what an unlocked bootloader is and/or what we're talking about, just go to GENERAL forum and learn the basics.

WHAT YOU GET

Last Concept MM version

TWRP recovery

Root with SuperSU

All functions related to DRM keys (like taking a picture in low-light conditions) will start to work again :good:

FIRST INSTALLATION

Download the last FTF from HERE or HERE and flash it with the last Flashtool (select NO when it asks if you want to use FSC script)

At the end of the flashing process, unplug the USB cable

Click on the "BLU" icon of Flashtool and connect the phone (keep pressed vol.down button)

Click on "RELOCK": when you see "Relock finished" press "Close"

Ok now your bootloader is relocked and you can update your firmware

Turn on your phone and connect to Wi-Fi

Go to "Settings", then "About device" and select "Software update"

Install and reboot your phone. Repeat this process as many times as an update is available!

Download and move to internal memory of your phone these files:

SuperSU v2.65 from here

DRM restore v3 from here or here

Any other ZIP that should be flashed into your system (like Xposed installer, etc...)

Turn off your device and open up Flashtool

Click on the "BLU" icon of Flashtool and connect the phone (keep pressed vol.down button)

Click on "UNLOCK": when you see "Unlock finished" press "Close"

Ok now your bootloader is unlocked again

Download on your PC the latest TWRP recovery from HERE and rename the file as recovery.img

Enter fastboot mode via PC (turn off the device, press and hold vol.up and plug in the USB cable)

and enter the following code in terminal:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Don't unplug the cable, because you need to enter the recovery from Concept bootloader menu you can see when you're in fastboot mode

Select "Recovery mode" with the volume keys and press the power button to enter

Make the following wipes:

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik-cache

Wipe data (WARNING: This is mandatory! If you want the DRM restoration to work properly, you have to wipe data at least the first time)

Ok now you can flash:

SuperSU

DRM restore v3

Any other ZIP that should be flashed into your system (like Xposed installer, etc...)

Reboot (if it asks to istall SuperSU before rebooting, say NO)

Enjoy!

NEXT UPDATES

Whenever you receive an update notification, you can upgrade without losing your data.
