[Fire TV General] DigiRay:
I totally agree. I didn't wait for custom recovery and I managed to brick mine.

You can send it to Amazon if you're still under warranty (best option) or if not, the eMMC reader seems the only way to go for now.

You'll need a Linux PC and you'll also need to do some soldering. If you check out the AFTVNews page on youtube and look at last weeks episode (I think it was number 32), at the end of the show Elias explains how to do it and points to a guide he worte that you need to follow as I asked him also.

Can they not send you a 4rth?? LOL

I had that too, also out of warranty and they offered me 30% discount on a new device. So I'm going with the eMMC option...
[Fire TV General] D-an-W:
Oh they did, just waiting for a better solution now :)
[Fire TV General] jonashrem:
is there still someone working on custom recovy / rom?
[Fire TV General] deanr1977:
For what.... Fire TV Stick? If so yes, rbox is working on it, it was said it should be due out some time this month? But that's not a 100% set in stone yet but that's the latest I heard about the subject via AFTVNews a while back? But please don't ask for an exact finish time because the Devs do not like that, when it's ready it's ready.
[Fire TV General] biglo:
It's been quiet for a very long time, I hope that means good news.
[Fire TV General] ldeveraux:
that's never good news.
[Fire TV General] kgirlx:
Yeah, I didn't root with kingroot, because it was advised on aftv not to, to wait for root method with a recovery option. The methods there to block updates without root didn't stop Amazon from updating mine. So I'm probably ****ed by the time a new method comes out. I should of just used kingroot and dealt with the garbage it installs and blocked updates that way.

from death's door
[Fire TV General] papars:
Oh sh*t! I didn't update either, nor I've installed kingroot.

I could never block updates using router - I have a fritz box and blocking the said addresses causes the fire tv not to work at all (keeps telling me that internet is disconnected).

So I've blocked updates using the no-root method. I hope mine doesn't get updated.
[Fire TV General] Bramton1:
I've been taking the "if it's not plugged in and now being used, it can't update" approach. I hid the update file, but taking the extra step.
[Fire TV General] Annunneo:
Hi as of right now my playstore doesn't update my apps, it loads up but the apps don't update they just keep loading. Some time ago I had to remove play services to get my playstore but now I'm having this problem. Is anyone else having this as well.
[Fire TV General] biglo:
Ikr dang sucks
[Fire TV General] sebr:
Well I finally ordered a 2nd gen FTV today after following this thread for months. Honestly I am very sceptical about a custom recovery to show up before Amazon took the next step to pull the plug for root-lovers. Unlike other manufacturers they obviously watching the scene and respond (rather) quickly to modification attempts. In the past there have been many examples: eFuse, blacklisting of launchers etc.

I still keep my fingers crossed for you guys to have custom recovery for 1st gen device and FTV stick soon :)
[Fire TV General] lolwatpear:
can someone tell me how I can safely unroot my fire stick? would updating it be good enough?
[Fire TV General] 2WhlWzrd:
Updating will lose root

Yes, just allowing it to update will lose root.
[Fire TV General] Bramton1:
I know it's taboo to ask for updates, but I wish I knew if recovery and image for the stick was been worked on and if there has been any progress. I'm wondering if I should just load the Open VPN app and Retroarch now, or if waiting for a pre-rooted image is more practical.

Instead, we wait.
[Fire TV General] cuki3r3k83bln:
Don't know about OpenVPN but for RetroArch you don't need anything that needs to be rooted except using an PS3 controller...
[Fire TV General] deanr1977:
Yes mate it is being worked on, rbox is working on it & as far as what's been said about the matter it maybe ready at some point this month or maybe next? You could enquire over at AFTVNews.com? Im sure in a post over there it was said it would probably be out at the end of last month or this month (can't remember exactly?) But as long as it's all going well & ontime maybe will will see a release very soon (hopefully) Hope this helps
[Fire TV General] rbox:
I'm hoping to get FireTv1 done this month. Not the stick. Stick is still coming though.
[Fire TV General] deanr1977:
Cheers mate, I'm just waiting but have a AFTV2 as well so I'm in no rush for now. Cheers for the update though.
[Fire TV General] Annunneo:
Is the play store working for anyone?
[Fire TV General] cuki3r3k83bln:
This is great news! Maybe theres realy s chance for AFTV stick users too in near future ^^
[Fire TV General] NxtGenCowboy:
I couldn't get KingRoot to work on 5.0.5.1 -_-

Tried the latest and few revisions back
[Fire TV General] deanr1977:
Only works on the firmware below 5.0.5.1
[Fire TV General] papars:
Is there a step-by step guide for the rooting and loading of TWRP and pre-rooted images?

I'm on 5.0.5 (not 5.0.5.1) with blocked updates and obviously locked bootloader.

I've tried to install kingroot but is not working. With last version (4.92) all I see is a blue page with a keyhole and a double up arrow - nothing else is happening.

With 4.1 (from XDA) I get a message from kingroot that internet connection is not working and opens the aftv setup page.

I only have the orignal voice remote control, do I need a mouse / keyboard to proceed?
[Fire TV General] D-an-W:
You need to root with KingRoot v4.1 and I seem to recall it (KingRoot) prefers being connected by Wi-Fi rather than Ethernet (Not sure which you were using).

I had to use my FLIRC to control TWRP but a mouse should work just as well.
[Fire TV General] deanr1977:
Depending on what system you are on & are on? If you are on one of the softwares below 5.0.5.1 you can follow the more in-depth guide from over here - http://www.aftvnews.com/start/

Or look in the forum here for Rboxs guide in the AFTV sections.

As far as I know yes you will need a USB mouse or a keyboard with a touch mouse pad to access TWRP Recovery, you can pick up a cheap one or get a fairly reasonablely priced one from Amazon.

Hope this helps if so press that thanks button.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
I'll just leave this here. NO, I don't know when it'll be done. NO, I have nothing to test. It'll be done when it's done.
[Fire TV General] deanr1977:
[MENTION=3991724]rbox[/MENTION] we all appreciate what you do in this forum & for everyone over at AFTVNews too, as per usual I do not ask for a when, cause when it's released its released.... this picture is good news for us & hopefully it may stop people moaning (hopefully? Haha), takecare mate & don't work too hard.

[MENTION=3991724]rbox[/MENTION] You're the greatest :) Even if you need two months more we will love and this gives us time to find a way to jailbreak AVTVS 5.0.5.1 ^^
[Fire TV General] papars:
Ok, I will get a mouse and connect through wifi and test again.
[Fire TV General] d3adpool:
Does it have to be kingroot 4.1? I see there is a newer version available.
[Fire TV General] deanr1977:
If I remember right 4.1 has mouse support built-in & is more Fire Tv friendly

[Fire TV General] jim16127:
When you say full debloat. What all do you remove from your update rom? I would love to slim down my updates before installing them!!! I've read a few debloating threads but they usually pertain to other devices (although a lot of the files are similar).
[Fire TV General] joshw0000:
Ok guys, I know I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but maybe not. I did the stupid act that everyone is saying not to. I stumbled onto this thread after using Super-Sume to attempt to replace KingRoot with SuperSu. After it only partially worked and I continued to see apps related to KingRoot I found this thread and realized that I have probably bricked my Fire Stick.

First off - My stick is still up and going. I haven't rebooted yet. If I just reset my stick, would that restore it?

Maybe I've fixed the error that KingRoot/Super-Sume creates. After running Super-Sume several times and realizing that King persisted, I side loaded a few apps (Root Explorer, Titanium, Busybox, SuperSu). In root explorer, I noticed that KingRoot (or KingUser - I forget) was still in system/app so I deleted it. I continued to see an icon in the app tray com.kingroot.kingu... that had Amazon Fire as the app picture. So I used Titanium Backup to try to uninstall com.kingroot.kinguser 4.0.5 but Titanium stated that it wasn't installed (most likely because I deleted it with Root Explore). I tried to freeze it but that's a pro function and even if I sideloaded a copy of my pro key I don't think it would verify since I have no Play Store. So I used adb to freeze it from my PC (adb shell, su, pm disable com.kingroot.kinguser). That's probably overkill, but oh well.

So back to Super-Sume, running it seems to re-enable com.kingroot.kinguser, uninstall SuperSu, and the app now hangs at step 6 every time I run it. Maybe the Chinese have found a way to trick that app somehow. So I disabled King Root again, uninstalled Super-Sume, and re-installed SuperSu (I still had root, just SuperSu was missing).

With SuperSu installed and functioning (prompts me when I run a root app), I can't open the app. It continues to close every time I open it. I ran BusyBox and it successfully installed. Again, SuperSu is functioning properly when I open a root app, I just can't open the app itself.

I realize now that many of you have bricked using Super-Sume. Did any of you do any more than just run the app (i.e. manually clean up the KingRoot files). If I can get some information to what everyone who bricked did exactly, maybe I can save my stick. I had originally disabled the updater but opted to re-enable it just in case it saves my stick. If I can successfully reboot, I'll disable it again.

I'm going to bed now. I'm going to leave the stick running for now. I would much appreciate any constructive feedback. Again, I realize I'm probably going to brick and I have one of the earlier Fire Sticks so it's out of warranty. I'd like to do everything possible to save it before I try the dreaded reboot. Thanks in advance for everyone's help!
[Fire TV General] deanr1977:
My advice would be, fingers crossed you don't have a powercut or run out of electricity in your house/flat/apartment & don't accidentally do a reboot? Because the brick will be inevitable.... if you are lucky there could be a solution once the recovery/prerooted rom for the stick is finished & released you "may" have a chance if you can get the recovery onto the stick without a reboot & then save the backup, then put the prerooted rom onto the stick which would already have the Su on so would overwrite the current situation you are in? Failing that you would be in a better situation once the recovery is installed because at least it would give you some more tests at fixing it if you had a backup to fall back on?

Hope this helps if so press that thanks button.
[Fire TV General] sconnyuk:
Id take a guess that after a reboot it will hang ant fire stick logo.

In this case because you have messed with su files/binaries that installing windows version of kingoroot, download exe from kingoroot site, (with stick plugged into Windows pc/laptop) will restore su files and get you back up and running. If that doesnt work you might still have the option to adb the firmware to the stick either through WiFi or usb ADB and restore your stick following a guide I put together. This is coming from experience of me bricking 2 sticks trying to remove kingoroot and replacing with chainfires Su, not using supersume but id take a guess it be same thing with certain su files missing from where they should be.
[Fire TV General] joshw0000:
Thanks. Can you link me to your guide?
[Fire TV General] sconnyuk:
Sure, id try the windows version of kingoroot first, with the stick plugged into laptop/pc. Try a few times if it fails.

Then try the guide:

http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/development/fire-tv-stick-downgrade-firestarter-3-2-t3399298

Ive had failed attempts of kingoroot and after the guide failing after a few steps in then moved back onto kingoroot and its successfully Rooted then booted up. Then followed the guide fully to have firmware downgraded..

Just keep this in mind before giving up as ive had to do this a couple of times on my sticks.

Let me knows how you get on.
[Fire TV General] p50kombi:
So are we any closer to recovery on fire stick?

Just curious.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxxshadow:
http://imgur.com/yd4l3OU

So there is a slight pink hue in the right side of the screen. I was wondering if most 6Ps were like this, or is it a defect. I did research and found that many ppl have this issue, so maybe its just how the phone is?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
If it annoys you then it probably is worth an RMA. This is a symptom of the manufacturing process with AMOLED screens, so they will all have it, some not as much, some much worse. So going for an RMA is a bit of a gamble because you don't know whether your replacement will be better or worse.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxxshadow:
I wonder if the new Gold 6PS with the newer build dates have better chances at a uniform screen
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitemare3219:
I've seen two devices, both January build dates. One was pink across the right side, about 1/2" of noticeable area down the length of the screen. The one I currently have is less pink, but on the entire left half of the screen. It's only noticeable because the right side is more of the greenish blue typical of AMOLED whites. It's only really noticeable in dim ambient lighting, with lower brightness, on white screens (such as browsing), but only when I'm looking at the display for extended periods and trying to notice it. I just picked my phone up right now and opened Messenger, but didn't see any of the pink tint at all unless I kept staring and tried to make out a difference.

It's subjective and up to you. I wish we could all get perfect screens. But it's only visible on white content... anything else you shouldn't notice it. I just hate hearing people RMA'ing 10 times because it certainly isn't good for Google or Huawei. It's the nature of the beast with AMOLED tech currently. Unless you have something crazy bad with your display, I feel like most people are making it a larger issue than it needs to be. If you want a perfect uniform white, go get an LCD and enjoy backlight bleed, poor contrast, etc. Until AMOLED gets perfected, there is going to be a potential, but slight, trade off.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxxshadow:
I agree with your point, but unfortunately in the case of the 6P I had to RMA for other reasons too. My volume rocker warped inwards, as so has many other people reporting on XDA and reddit threads. I am not sure how it happened, as I baby my phones and keep them well taken care of. I just took my case off one day and noticed it. There must be something wrong with the structural integrity of the device. Other than these 2 issues, the phone is perfect for me, but I am hesitant on ordering another one now.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riardon:
On my second 6P the lower part of the screen has a yellowish tint while the upper seems more pinkish/warmer. My first 6P which was this year's build had a uniform but pinkish display loose rattling buttons and imbalanced speakers and bonus low volume output from 3.5 jack. The replacement had all those issues resolved except from the screen which is not uniform and it's noticeable. Problem is no Google and easy RMA process in my country. It's pain in arse to get a replacement and you have to wait up to 1 week without a device to get it and they will not repeat it for second time except if the issue is really serious. By my experience this phone has really cheap QC issues. Judging from reddit and XDA most come with some sort of problems. Be it it uneven displays, buttons, reboots, speakers etc. I won't buy a Huawei device ever again. Those issues does not let me enjoy this phone as I should. I still love it but I can't recommend it to any of my friends due to the QC issues. It's a Russian roulette with very high probability to lose.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I agree on the QC issues, I won't be buying Huawei again either.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u.of.ipod:
Hi everyone, just got done setting up my new Shield TV with Kodi to stream media files from my unRaid NAS! I purchased the Shield because my old WDTV Live was dying and there did not appear to be many options for media boxes that could stream network content without transcoding with Plex or similar. My unRaid server uses a very old Atom CPU and doesn't have the horsepower to transcode 720p video or above.

Setting up Kodi was pretty easy, although it wasn't able to install it from the Play store. I had to go the route of loading the APK from a USB stick. All of my networked media seems to play flawlessly!

So now onto my question, what is everyone using their Shield for? I've got mine in the bedroom and I'm curious to see what else I can do with it. Out of all my Android games (I have a lot because I've gone through 3 android phones and 2 android tablets) only Wayward Souls was available for Android TV. I some experience with PS1 and SNES emulators from my tablet, but it seems the Shield is much more capable.

My general household includes 2 android phones, an android tablet, a gaming PC with an nvidia graphics card, the unraid server, and an HTPC in the living room. Solid AC Wifi connection between the Shield and the rest of the network.

Throw some ideas at me - what else should I do with the Shield?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xd4d3v:
Welcome.

I'm using my Shield as a main media center hooked up to my TV in the living room.

I do some android gaming sometimes, but there aren't enough titles i like (hoping this will change)

once nop releases the NTFS and samba kernel, i'm planning to use it as a NAS with a 2.5" usb 3.0 hdd connected to it.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradwatson:
RetroboxTV is pretty sweet for game emulation.

We use our Shield as our primary media device. It does everything we want minus native WatchESPN. We have an hdhomerun prime that we use with the Live Channels app for live TV.

We have a 2 TB external HDD hooked up with movies and TV shows that we watch through Kodi.

What else are you looking for?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookiehead2:
Get sideload launcher, it will give you a wider range of apps you can run. You can also install amazon underground (first download and install the Chrome .apk to browse to it). IMO, ES file explorer provides a lot of the network search functions that I used to use Kodi for, so that removes some software layers. MXPLayer seems to be the most capable video player I've tested.
