Fire Tv 5.7.3-20

Fire OS 5.2.4.1

Sorry new to this all. Is this a Fire Stick 2 or 1 and can this one be rooted? Thanks all!
[Fire TV Android Development] kaaskop:
Will there be a rooted firmware version 5.2.6.0?

[Fire TV Android Development] king200:
I updated to 5.2.6.0. I did a 'dirty flash". i.e. No wipe.

In the 'notifications' tab, there is a notice for SuperSu to update SU binary.

I am reluctant to try that update. Is there any reason to update the SU binary? The SuperSu version shows as 2.46. I would have thought an that might be needed was done long ago.
[Fire TV Android Development] Axecaster:
Other members have said to flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214 after flashing the ROM to update to the last SuperSu version under previous ownership. The thread names containing actual links escape me right now. The binary update notification should disappear after the flash. To access SuperSu's menu, the Xposed Framework and Holo Themer v3.0 (set to material dark) will also be needed.

I've tried to update from 5.2.4.1 with some remnants of the LazyLeanback install and got stuck on the white Amazon logo on the black background (I suspect because of some addon scripts by LazyLeanback installer).

What's the proper procedure to wipe before I reattempt install of 5.2.6.0? Should I just wipe system/data partitions in TWRP and then flash the zip?
[Fire TV Android Development] alonso_91:
Hi guys, any ideas if there was an update pushed recently to the fire stick gen1? after the 5.2.6_r1... I was flashing multiple versions to see what I could work it, after debloating etc and must've forgotten to disable OTA after flashing 5.2.6 because now I have no root access and when rebooting the device there is no more reovery.

Have I messed my device up and now can't get root anymore?? :(

Blacklisted firestick 2nd gen

The firestick was lost during shipping and i was refunded by amazon and was told to keep device, but it is blacklisted now and will not get pass checking for update can it still use some how?

Where to start?

thanks
[Fire TV Android Development] WhiteReign:
I am still waiting for a response to my question. Good luck

[Fire TV Android Development] santamanga:
Didn't know one could blacklist the device. Did you try associating it with a different account?

Besides, do you need the updates? Staying on an older version always gives more chance to use a future exploit to root it.

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

Right before your initial question I had already posted the answer to it. If you are too lazy reading on that side, to find out what stick you have and if you can root it, what help do you expect?

Besides, this is a topic about continual software updates on the 1st firestick. Not about finding out the basics and rooting the firestick. Do you always hijack a thread and then complain three times for not getting an answer?
[Fire TV Android Development] ¿GotJazz?:
Hi - My FTV-S (Version 1) was on 5.2.1.0 (unrooted), and started getting update notices. I decided that it was time to take action to update my FTV-S to the latest good stuff.

I have done the following:

I have blocked Amazon Updates on my home network using the OpenDNS method. I have confirmed that my home network doesn't get Amazon updates (for now).

I rooted my FTV-S using the latest KingoRoot, then installed Montoya TWRP Recovery v1. That went fine as well.

I installed rbox's 5.2.6.0_r1 Montoya ROM.

I did a "Format Data" in TWRP to wipe out any of the unexpected surprises that KingoRoot may have installed behind the scenes.

I rebooted my FTV-S, let the optimization run, and re-paired my remote. All good so far ...

I installed SuperSU v2.82 using the TWRP installable zip. That appeared to install without any errors. (but ... see questions below)

I rebooted my FTV-S, and then got stuck in a loop looking for Fire updates/reconnecting to the network.

I got very nervous

, but then re-enabled my router's normal DNS server. I was ready to pull the plug on my FTV if it started to download updates (which it didn't appear to). When it eventually went to the Amazon registration screen, I reset my router back to block Amazon updates via OpenDNS.

The FTV-S appears to be running OK with 5.2.6.0_r1 installed, but I have a few questions:

How do I permanently disable any future Amazon updates on the Montoya? Is it pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota? Or, is Amazon O/S update blocking already baked into the 5.2.6.0_r1 ROM somehow? I ask, because I saw in a post that I must "disable updates". I also saw the 5.2.6.1 ROM update listed in the System Updates area (which I got rid of before it installed). I don't want to lose my root/features the next time I take the FTV-S on vacation with an open WiFi.

How do I see the SuperSU GUI on the FTV-S? It is running OK, but I can't see any of the settings.

Thanks,

¿GJ?

[Fire TV Android Development] RichardSauer:
Hello Im on 5.2.6.0 stock could I root the firestick without hardware root ?
[Fire TV Android Development] santamanga:
You are posting in the wrong thread.

And read here: http://www.aftvnews.com/root/fire-tv-stick-2/
[Fire TV Android Development] codebot:
Seems to me that it would be extraordinarily useful to have com.amazon.device.software.ota turned off by default in the ROM update itself (kind of like how SuperSU is there by default). Or whatever it takes to disable the auto-update during a new initialization/registration.

On a fully wiped stick it's a real PITA to get connected to the network and registered with these newer ROM's while stopping the auto-update at the same time. I had to go back like 3 or 4 times and enter my stupidly long WPA password while messing with my network to stop the auto-update. If I blocked the update altogether it would not let me register, simply sending me to a blank screen saying "update failed, check your network, power off and try again, blah, blah". It would not let me register. I had to keep re-trying and moving between screens, reconnecting, messing with the network blocking, etc. until finally it let me register. Eventually it may even be that Amazon changes it such that you MUST update before it will let you register. That would suck and it's almost that bad now.

With all that said, I wonder if setting com.amazon.device.software.ota even has an effect during the initial clean install. It might be using another method altogether.

Is com.amazon.device.software.ota an app? If it is, why even include it in a pre-rooted ROM? Just remove that thing completely because nobody would ever want it on a rooted ROM.
[Fire TV Android Development] rbox:
It's part of the system. It's not a separate app. As for automatically disabling it, it's information that's contained in /data and not in a standalone file, so not possible. Now to your actual problem... a) why are you wiping so much that it matters b) as long as you flash the latest it should be fine. c) the hack for modifying build.prop (http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-bloc...k-by-setting-a-custom-fire-os-version-number/) would probably work
[Fire TV Android Development] codebot:
I'm wiping so much because my firesticks are really old and abused with all sorts of crap apps, login credentials that aren't mine, etc installed by kids and previous attempts at root that probably installed spy/malware.

I like that build.prop idea. In fact, after I posted I was wondering if there was a way to do exactly that. I'll try it. Thanks!

Edit:

Seems like it would be possible to set the appropriate stuff in /data at boot/init time. I mean it's just Linux.
[Fire TV Android Development] Axecaster:
Modifying the build.prop from within TWRP after every ROM flash has become mandatory to my configuration process. Much easier than the back-and-forth router blocks.
[Fire TV Android Development] codebot:
This seems to work well. I'm going to start doing the same. It's not too hard, just have to remember to do it.

Am I correct in thinking that none of this works if I am on the latest fire tv os without root?

My gen1 stick is on the latest firmware and from what I understand this cannot be rooted. And root is needed to install the bootloader/twrp, correct?
[Fire TV Android Development] Sus_i:
You can't unlock the bootloader on FireOS5. TWRP uses second init on these versions, only possible with a rooted stick.

Unfortunately you can't exploit the latest OS via software. Only a hardware root (emmc hack) is possible, but it isn't recommended.

[Fire TV Android Development] Share_:
Thanks for this. Is an updated needed to the image? I noticed after updating to the 5.2.7.2_r1 from the OP that I could not watch live amazon programmes from prime. In settings -> about there were "system" updates avaliable.

Live events would show the spinning cursor and go back to the event page without playing on my rooted firetv stick. Amazon telephone support suggested the most common reason is a pending update that needed to be installed. A couple of small updates installed OK (no reboot), then live Amazon programmes started working. Intestingly the support agent could tell me which version my firetv stick was running and which update was required to get live events.

I have the custom TWRP teamwin recovery by rbox so unless Amazon update the recovery image I should be be able to re-root. Is there anyway or need to protect the custom recovery?

The Fire TV home version was updated from 6.1.7.1-005 to a later version will post the version tomorrow if I remember. The Fire OS version was still 5.2.7.2 .

No. They aren't rooted. It's 100% stock.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defroster:
Friend bought his M7 new and never modified it but it won't take an ota update (Telstra) saying in the log that framework.apk has unexpected contents. Even after factory reset.

What's the quickest way to fix this? I had a look around and there's a looooot of (general and varied) info floating around but nothing relating to this particular issue so I'm hoping there's a bit easier fix than reading through dozens of threads and maybe ending up in a worse position.

Thanks :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
A factory reset will only wipe the /data partition (note that i'm saying "wipe" not "restore"). Framework.apk is on the /system partition, if the file has been modified or somehow got corrupt, a factory reset will not restore that file. (cause factory reset isn't touching /system and neither restoring anything, just deleting user data)

/system files are normally write protected by the stock kernel and to bypass this protection you need at least a custom recovery. So either the phone wasn't really new (someone tampered it before the update) or something went wrong and the file got corrupt.

Flashing a RUU should bring back the phone 100% stock and restore the ability to take ota updates. Look at stickies in the general section.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defroster:
It definitely wasn't modded, he wouldn't know how and he got it new from Telstra.

Don't you need s-off to flash an ruu?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
It can be easier with s-off but it's not mandatory.
