Just flash stock ROM using the .TOT method
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bybader:
thank you for the reply but this is not really a fix for me since i don't have a backup of my data, there are things on my phone that i can't afford to lose yet, if there are other ways to try that would be great.

things i have tried so far:

re-flashing boot.img and aboot.img

flashing stock Marshmallow rom

also i read somewhere here that dirty flashing the kernel might fix this but i have no idea on how to do that.

any ideas?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leedsgreen:
Over the last week I've been trying to get OpenVPN Installer and then OpenVPN Settings to work on my rooted Fire TV 2 (on 5.0.5_r4). I've described the steps here : http://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/help/vpn-rooted-fire-tv-t3370488

Even though the VPN turns on, it appears the Fire TV 2 internet traffic is still routed through the original pathway and the IP address remains unchanged, which I've been unable to fix. Has anyone managed to get OpenVPN Settings to work on a rooted Fire TV?

However, I recently noticed OpenVPN for Android (https://plus.google.com/communities/114121831091105660092) and gave this a try on my Fire TV 2 and it worked straight out of the box (giving an updated IP address when checked). I presumed that it only worked because my Fire TV 2 was rooted with the necessary VPN binaries installed (by OpenVPN Installer). However, the author of OpenVPN for Android communicated to me that root is not needed and, as a test, I've just tried it on my unrooted Fire TV 1 (on 5.0.5) and it also works!

Will be interesting to see if others have had similar success and can confirm findings.

dean4k, like Petesky says, just use 'OpenVPN for Android' found in the link in the first post - it works great and the latest version is much easier to use with just the Fire TV remote (no need of a mouse pointer) once setup!

Add Proxy only for Prime

Guys I live in Argentina and can change the DNS setting on my stick to receive USA prime but doing so breaks my Netflix, also have Kodi installed and that works fine with US Dns or local. Is there any way to add some code to only Proxy prime through the US DNS server.

I tried installing DNS changer app but it does not change the Firestick settings although it says changed, my stick is also rooted.

For those of you that got this working, what VPN service are you using? I am trying with Private Internet Access, and the app shows connected, but when I check, I see my original IP. Thanks.

Hi Mav21,

I'm using IronSocket VPN, which works fine.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petesky:
Not using it just now but I was using PIA as well and it does show original ip but if you use another app to check it will show that your ip has changed

Thanks, when I check on the PIA website, it returns my original IP address and says "not protected". Any other settings that I need to look at?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bro2baseball:
Ever figure this out with PIA? I only see my original IP despite installing "OpenVPN for Android" and it connecting. I also have the OpenVPN binary installed manually (I'm rooted).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LegionSB:
People need to be very wary about this. If the PIA site sees your source IP address, you are NOT protected.

I'm seeing the same issue as others, both the PIA site and any other site the returns IP addresses shows the source IP in both Firefox and Chrome.

OpenVPN appears to connect, but traffic is not being routed through it.

OpenVPN is too much for Montoya although I didn't try lessor settings. Using ExpressVPN I can get it to work with OpenVPN for Android 0.6_.63 from apkpure on Fire TV Montoya 5.2.1.1 not rooted but everything is slow. I considered toying with decreasing encryption or a script to kill services but I decided I will just use the Asus router since it's at bedtime anyway, I would buy another Fire TV 2 like I have in the living room but I've been having so many problems lately anyway so pfft..

Speaking of Fire TV 2, rooted and wired internet (rbox ROM: 5.2.4.0_r1)

For anyone interested ExpressVPN is working using the above listed OpenVPN. (Don't use the Mediastreamer to be lazy, if you want to watch Amazon Prime or Netflix turn it off.) If you are having problems with your Kodi installation remove FireStarter, or actually if you twrp flash the referenced rom it will remove it)

Warning: Make sure using FireFox for Android that your ISP and IP are both masked before opening a sensitive site. Keep Alive does not work. In Linux use Network Manager and edit your connection to include your VPN when it starts. (plenty of info on Google for this).. On Fire TV you have to check before using.. If that doesn't work for you again the router is a sure fire solution to routing problems.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobysnack:
I curious to know what speeds you guys are getting. PIA and OpenVPN both work on the firestick 2 but the speeds are around 1.5-2.5Mbps. When running OpenVPN through my router (Night Hawk AC3200 flashed to DD-WRT) I hit 15-30Mbps.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidvoider:
I didn't see your post unfortunately or I would have tried a download test, but I already asked for a refund from ExpressVPN because I want to use a cool app like PIA. I think ExpressVPN was fast but not faster than PrivateInternetAcess or anything. I could do a speed test with PIA for you but it's what you have. The app for PIA is so much better with the Internet Kill Switch I don't need to use my router. Also I can set the encryption to 256 / 4096 rsa or less if I want. Then the final blow is with the PIA app I can select which Fire TV apps I want it to use with the VPN and which ones I don't.. (Fire TV 2 only using a mouse)

I will try on Montoya unrooted for you guys with my extra fire tv stick I keep for such fun little questions and post back if the PIA app rocks the Fire TV Stick gen 1 Montoya unrooted 5.2.1.1.. Possibly I can edit the config file, I will have to look.. because remote is more than a challenge to set the apps to protect/not protect.

I have installed OpenVPN for Android on my unrooted firestick and have loaded NordVPN as the VPN service. Nord VPN is visible in the settings list.

OpenVPN android

I have an Amazon fire tv that is running 5.2.4.0 and was rather disappointed when I found it still couldn't be rooted as I have owed for quite a while.

I had fallen into the trap of installing the openvpn client and was fooled into thinking it was all working, until I left the uk's 'Geolocation' and to my dismay I wasn't able to grab my UKVPN IP address, yet it all looked fine.

On my return to the UK I did some research and saw the article about the openvpn android amazon on this site.

The good news, I installed it and it worked like a dream. I did have a small issue with the 'opvn' file that I used which was all to do with having different files for the ca etc, but that was fixed by placing all data into one file and using the 'inline' directive.

I then tested it by making my 4G phone into a hot spot and showed that when I was on the VPN (using the newly installed openvpn android amazon) I was actually handed my home BT IP external address.

Next I need to prove it on a fire stick.

Where do you put the ovpn file for th e server?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kingndj:
Can I assume you mean the 'opvn' file that tells the Client machine how to connect to the Server?

So, the 'opvn' file is made up of the original 'opvn' file and the ca, cert & key for the client are all concatenated into one file with an 'opvn' extention. I put the 'opvn' file onto a mico-SD card and when I started 'openvpn for Android' I was able to browse to the SD card and load the 'opvn' file and thus connect the fireTV to my VPN.

I have since taken the FireTV to Spain and proved that it all works ok - ie I can watch UK content without any problems.

Fire Stick 2 still recognizes that I'm outside the US

All,

I've been going through forums looking for info on how to setup a VPN either on my FS2 or router so that I can get Prime Video to work from outside the US (I have a US Prime Account and have made sure my country is set to the US already). No matter how I setup the VPN, if I try to play something from Prime Video, I get a geo-restriction notice. When I try to use Netflix, the VPN seems to work fine and I actually get the US catalog although when I try to play a title it loads to ~25% and stays there until it times out.

I'm using NordVPN currently, but I've tried with IPVanish and ExpressVPN. None of these have worked. I get the exact same results no matter which one I use. Does anyone have any ideas how the FS2 could be detecting it's location other than from the IP provided by the VPN?

VPN service: NordVPN

Network speeds: 200 Mb/s without VPN - up to 150 Mb/s with VPN on

Fire OS version: Latest

Rooted?: No

Are you using the preferred servers for viewing US Netflix? Theres about a dozen or so that they recommend, Ive tried US servers 730 - 733 which worked form me. I think there some more in the ealry 700's. Any others just displayed a warning about using a proxy, or didnt do anything.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

I have an issue using OpenVPN for Android, where I cant select individual apps to be included/excluded from the vpn. I simply cant seem to select the Checkbox with the remote. On occasion, I can get one to highlight and select/deselect it, but I cant then move up or down to do others. Highlighting the app itself doesn't do anything.

Any suggestions? I only want to throw a few apps down the vpn...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheyWhoKnew:
Truth be told, I'm not too worried about Netflix, it just seems to be a symptom of the overarching issue of the Fire TV Stick somehow realizing it's not in the US. I have some suspicions that my modem might have something to do with it although it seems to allow VPN pass through for my PCs.

I've been trying to set up vpn on my new firetv 4k 2017 with no luck. I have a subscription to expressvpn, and i've tried their own app, openvpn plus dns configs but none work.

If i use expressvpn it shows connected, but somehow after that ALL traffic on my firetv is blocks, i.e. wont even load home screen says there is a problem. I used openvpn, loaded the config files and it again shows connected, but yet again same issue, all traffic on firetv gets blocked.

Finally, i tried just setting the dns for my wifi network, and while about shows the new dns, if i use netflix or amazon it says georestricted content.

So i'm not sure whats going on, has anyone else experienced anything like this? any changes to the new firmware?

Well I was stuck with the same Demigod crash and unable to access recovery and download mode

This happens to me when i flashed a wrong twrp recovery for lg g2 d801 and it was stuck in critical error i was also unable to access download mode ..

But my Good luck was that i recovered it by doing silly thing ?

So i do following things. But make sure u know the corrert version of your lg g2 to flash kdz file with lg flash tool and also must have lg drivers intalled.

Steps to perform.

1. While in critical error screen you have an option to press volume up button to boot into download mode( although it will not boot to download mode) but still press volume up button so your Pc can detect your phone.

2. Now flash a kdz file of your lg g2 with flash tool. ( you can google for it to download flash file for your lg g2 and how to flash it with lg flass tool.)

3. When you will try to flash it will fail..

4. Now power off your phone by pressing power button.

5. Now boot to download mode and flash the correct kdz with lg flash tool and u r good to go..

To acess download mode power off your phone immediately press volume up button and while keep pressing it and plug in usb cable and you will be in download mode

This all helped me a lot coz i was scared of Short circuit method and SRK tool didn't help in my case.

Well i am not sure it will work 100% but you can give a try so best of luck ..
