[Magisk] zdarkstranger:
Hi, as above the explanation is for people of your level, I also just know basic flashing roms, just a question, is it possible to install an older version of Magisk like 22.0 or 21.0 and the Root hide might work????, as what also I know is Magisk 23.0 does not hide anymore.

Hi,

I have a Nokia 8, running Android 8.1

Its Not rooted.

My problem is No 3rd party Sms apps are working properly. I have tried many apps. None work. Main issue is receiving sms es. I can send sms to anyone but i dont receive all sms. I have made these apps "default" in the settings and restarted mobile, yet the problem persists.

Please help me as the stock Messenger (sms) app is limited in functionality.

Also i dont use mms much, so cant say if there is a problem in that too.

Today we’re excited to be bringing you something we’ve been working on for the last few months. Today, we’re introducing you to FireFU. FireFU is an exploit chain we’ve created to allow users to unlock (and root) their FireTV Cube and FireTV Pendant.

[IMG="FireFU picture"]https://www.exploitee.rs/images/0/0f/FireFULogo.png[/IMG]

https://blog.exploitee.rs/2018/rooting-the-firetv-cube-and-pendant-with-firefu/

Exploit package

This download is intended for users who are only seeking the binaries to perform the exploit.

https://download.exploitee.rs/file/amazon/FireFU/FireFU.tgz

Source Code

This is for the users who are needing to recompile the exploit or are just curious about the process.

[Fire TV Original Android Development] ldeveraux:
This is nowhere near achievable for most XDA users though.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] puppinoo:
This is amazing. Thanks a lot.

I'm completely newbie but look forward testing this.

Can this exploit be eventually patched by Amazon so it's better to block updates if you don't use it immediately?

EDIT: I just read they can but I meant if they can patch with future updates so that the process is defeated and can't be used anymore.

Regards and congratulations.

Pino.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] xXhighpowerXx:
Yes the exploit is patchable. Amazon will probably patch it in the next firmware release. I'm not sure how long this exploit will last. Make sure to disable OTA update after you rooted it. This exploit also allow you to run custom roms too since it bypass the signature check in uboot :) SoC is similar to Odroid C2 board so you might able to run it image on the FireTV with little/no modifications.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] puppinoo:
Thanks for precious info,

I already blocked URLs from Amazon on my LEDE router in dnsmasq.conf.

Really interesting. I have LibreElec installed on my Odroid C2 and the idea of installing a Linux distro on the pendant is also interesting.

BTW I stress my gratitude cause your work is amazing.

Is the HDMI breakout adapter linked in the wiki the correct one that would be needed for this project?

https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-sign...rs-20&linkId=eca52d73a58d16cf24fb94f55bfd7ebe

From what I can tell from the pictures, that breakout board has a male adapter, but you would need a female adapter to plug the Fire TV into, correct?

Also, would it be possible to provide a little more detail on the command line steps needed? I'm a Linux novice so I'm having a little difficulty trying to figure out how to execute some of these steps. The exact commands for each step would be great. Thanks for your work!
[Fire TV Original Android Development] retyre:
Correct. Something like this is what you need. This looks like the one used in the wiki.

IMO, putting the device into DFU mode is the bottleneck. You will have to set up the correct udev rules to get the Amlogic side recognized through the HDMI breakout.

(The Linux rooting commands are in the video.)
[Fire TV Original Android Development] AZImmortal:
Thanks for confirming about the HDMI breakout. I found this on AliExpress for the cheapest option (but longest delivery time). Can you explain what you mean by the DFU mode bottleneck? I know that the Fire TV has to be put into DFU mode, but I wasn't sure if you meant that it's trickier than it seems (like maybe some computers don't have the right chipset or something along those lines). Also, I saw the video but it seems to start at step 7, which is basically where the easy parts of the process start, haha. I need more details on the earlier steps.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] retyre:
There are so many variables here: genuine Arduino vs. counterfeit, quality of the HDMI breakout board, USB 3.0 vs. 2.0, Linux box with proper udev rules, ...

Take a look at something like this if you want to automate the last part (udev).
[Fire TV Original Android Development] AZImmortal:
I have an Arduino clone but I've never actually used it for real (other than flashing sketches to it to make sure that it works), but assuming that the clone is functional, then what kind of issues might prevent it from working for this project? I guess same question goes for the breakout board and USB 3.0 vs 2.0. Just trying to figure out what kind of obstacles I might encounter if I decide to try this.

This helps put things a little more together for me (at least I know which libusb I'd need to install). I'm still not sure that I understand how to execute step 1 or step 6 under the Rooting Process instructions though.

Thanks for the help so far.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] retyre:
Depending on the Linux distro, libusb may already be installed. Run dpkg -l libusb* to check.

Step 1: udev rules are set up in /etc/udev/rules.d/. You will have to create a file (e.g., 90-usb-serial.rules) with the information (usually, the subsystem, vendor-product attributes as mentioned in the wiki, name, symlink, etc.). Syntax varies by distro. You should test your rule with a less tricky device that's guaranteed to show up (e.g., a common peripheral) and see whether the name or symlink in the rule was picked up properly.

Step 6: In general, lsusb lists the USB devices connected to the Linux box. For example, if you connect just the Arduino and run lsusb, you should see the Due show up as, say, 2341:003d. If everything works as planned (i.e., the AFTV3 gets into DFU mode), you should see the correct device show up when you run lsusb (1b8e:c003). If it does not, you now have to check all the failure points: whether the sketch was flashed properly, whether the Arduino's or breakout's SCL and SDA pins are working properly, whether the USB port is the issue, whether the jumper wire or cable is the issue, and whether your udev rule was set up properly. In the event of an unsuccessful outcome (i.e., Amlogic doesn't show up in lsusb), isolating the issue can be a bear.

There's only one way to find out. Gather the paraphernalia, test it out, and post here!
[Fire TV Original Android Development] AZImmortal:
Thanks, this helps a lot. I'll have to take a little time to experiment with my setup to see if I can figure out the syntax, but I'm definitely planning to buy the breakout board and finally put my Arduino clone to work. I'll probably have more questions when that time comes. :confused: :)
[Fire TV Original Android Development] retyre:
Finally got around to trying this. Works as described in the OP.

TBH, this is not nearly as complicated as the usual hardware root method for FTV devices. If you know your way around Linux and can connect jumper wires, you should have no trouble with this. Please post here if you have issues.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] puppinoo:
Great job. Waiting for my hdmi breakout to arrive so I can try. Can I ask you if you tried to downgrade or upgrade fw version? If not will it be easy to accomplish? I ask cause I blocked updates on my router since initial FW version and I don't want to risk now. But I'd like once rooted to upgrade to a version (possibly already rooted) with a feature added later to automatically switch framerate which my version actually lacks.

Regards.

Pino.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] retyre:
I updated to the latest version (6.2.5.5) before trying this. The wiki indicated it was tested on that version, so I saw no harm. If 6.2.5.5 has a feature not found in earlier versions, you should unblock the DNS on your router and let the device update to 6.2.5.5 before you try this. Without a public link to any of the update files for AFTV3, how are you planning to downgrade/upgrade or flash a prerooted image?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] BRICK0044:
Glad it worked for you. Any chance you could show links to the board and Hdmi breakout? Thank you.

Nevermind I found them in the Wiki.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] ldeveraux:
I plan on trying this tonight. It's not clear in the instructions how to connect everything. Connect the arduino to a linux box via USB? Do I need to adb to enter the commands? I've got the breakout HDMI wired to the arduino, but then a standard HDMI cable from breakout to FireTV?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] puppinoo:
Thanks for advices. I didn't know updates URLs were still unknown. I just enabled updates and let it do its things. Now I'm on Build NS6255/1612 (hoping it's the original one and not some stealth tricky version just uploaded :D ). BTW I noticed the updates are incremental so it processed all the major ones one at a time. So maybe you could let it do until it reaches the version you like and after that you stop the updates. It's not a safe method I think (for them).

BTW Thanks again for advice. Stuill waiting for HDMI Breakout.

Arduino Documentation

Documentation on the Arduino website states;

"The Arduino Due can be powered via the USB connector or with an external power supply. The power source is selected automatically.

External (non-USB) power can come either from an AC-to-DC adapter (wall-wart) or battery. The adapter can be connected by plugging a 2.1mm center-positive plug into the board's power jack.

Leads from a battery can be inserted in the Gnd and Vin pin headers of the POWER connector.

The board can operate on an external supply of 6 to 20 volts. If supplied with less than 7V, however, the 5V pin may supply less than five volts and the board may be unstable.

If using more than 12V, the voltage regulator may overheat and damage the board. The recommended range is 7 to 12 volts"
