Things that don't work or I'm interested in trying to get working.

-Can't "install" apps from amazon. The app store is there and can install from "the cloud" but can't search for new apps. Likely due to something being disabled., just not sure what. I assume installing from amazon web into the cloud or something like that could be a work around. Might be that the only way to search for apps is with the default launcher?

-Voice search doesn't work. Looks like some people have kind of gotten it to work but I have not.

-Chromecast support.

Both would likely have a better chance if google play services/store could be installed. I see there was some effort put forth in trying to do that on previous firetvstick models so I may try some of the info that is out there. Seeing as we now have root its a lot more possible.....I assume.

[Fire TV General] TitanUranus:
I keep meaning to test nanodroid with microg & the patched play store. I've not done it yet as I was afraid patching the system would screw everything up & I had so much difficulty getting bootloader patched to begin with. It may not be necessary to patch system, I recall using an xposed module for spoofing some time ago on an old phone so that could be a possibility.

It might not work, but there's probably less that can go wrong as there's less "deep" system integration than using official gapps. Just an idea if you fancy trying it.

Booting between FireOS and TWRP

Below are the first steps in rooting the firestick 4k:

Once it reboot’s into TWRP do you now have root privs?

Can you stop here and not install a “pre-rooted image”?

Can I now boot between FireOS and TWRP if so How?

Thank You,

1.Boot the ISO

2.Download and extract the exploit package.

3.Open a terminal in the kamakiri directory

Run

Code:

4. ./bootrom-step.sh

Short one of the points in the attached photo to ground (the cage of the shielding).

Ideally you want to use DAT0, since that is tiny it might be easier to short the point marked CLK instead.

It is very important that you use a piece of soft wire or aluminum foil or something similar for shorting. Don't use tweezers as that makes it incredibly easy to knock of the capacitor off the PCB and kill the board!

5. Connect the stick to your computer (while keeping it shorted)Both USB and HDMI ???

6. The script should tell you to release the short and hit enter

Once finished run

Code:

7. ./fastboot-step.sh

Your device will now reboot into TWRP
[Fire TV General] bnevets27:
I replied inline in brackets. On mobile so a pain to in another way.
[Fire TV General] RPM99:
Thanks for the clarification

Hi,

Inline with great answers is just fine, thank you.

I will investigate magisk, I didn't realize that's what it is for.

And "reboot recovery" at the adb command line will put me back in TWRP mode - This was great info!!

I ordered a new firestick to try this on, it will be here next week so I have some time to read up.

Thanks again,

Steve
[Fire TV General] RPM99:
More questions if you can please

When you short to ground and then plug into usb to boot firestick is that considered bootloader mode?

At what point is the greatest risk of bricking the firestick?

Thanks,

Steve
[Fire TV General] bnevets27:
I guess that would probably be technically correct.

Only time there's a chance of bricking, usually for flash anything, is during the writing process. Or a corrupt file.

I've done a hand full and haven't had any issues. Just take normal precautions like do what you can to prevent a power outage during the flash and once it's plugged in and flashing don't touch anything till its finished.

Personally I plugged in the mirco USB into the firestick first, then lined up the USB into the computer but didn't push it in. Held a small solid copper wire against the rf shield (the metal that surrounds the chip) and touched the side of what I think is a capacitor (you can't get to clk without taking the surrounding metal piece off). It's the "other" point they mention you can use. While doing that with one hand I plug in the USB to the computer. Remember the script has to be run first, waiting to see the stick before you plug it in.

If you miss time it or don't make the connection, the script just won't tell you to remove the short and press enter, so you'll just have to try again.

[Fire TV General] bnevets27:
I haven't no. I might have missed that one. I've been pretty happy the the end result of using his module in this thread. And after updating to the latest version, voice search is working for me.

I have some other projects at the moment so I'm not working on this but I'll come back to later on.
[Fire TV General] gogorman:
When you say voice search is working, does that mean you can click the little mic icon at the top left of the Android TV launcher and it will search? Does it work well? Thanks
[Fire TV General] bnevets27:
Yeah you have to click the mic on screen then the mic on the remote. Seems to work pretty well but haven't used it much more then just to see if it worked.
[Fire TV General] gggirlgeek:
This exploit does not give you root. This unlocks the bootloader and then installs TWRP recovery.

I used a Reese's candy wrapper! :cowboy: I just rolled it between my fingers and wedged it under the metal "cover," touching the CLK and DATA points. Then plugged it in to the USB port.

This is what gives you ROOT access.

Took me a while, reading through all the threads, to figure out which exploit does what.

This module is great. It also disables Amazon firmware updates. There are a bunch of other tips in that thread too.

Thanks for the tips and tricks!

Hey guys,

I managed to root my phone yesterday and installed some packages in Magisk. Today I installed one and after I rebooted my phone was stuck at the unlocked page and then went into Fastboot. I can reboot into recovery. What is the easiest way to fix it? Is there a possibility to do a factory reset to fix the boot loop. If yes how do I do that in TWRP? Please help!!

I managed it on my own. Explanation if you have the same problem:

So i just dropped my phone from head height onto a concrete floor :eek:

It slipped out of my hand while i was talking as i bumped into someone.

It survived! no marks, i'm not sure how it landed, but it was screen down on the floor when i found it.

Has anyone else dropped theirs and how has it managed? I'm sure we'd all like to know how much abuse it actually can handle.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Woodman12:

and it dropped exactly the same way as yours did..haah

just like yours, no scratch and yet nth bad happened yet
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Would have been even funnier if u were the one i bumped into lol

I think the cut off corners on the back really help. The back is heavier due to the battery and if it falls on a corner it seems to fall on the back cut off corner.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mcwtrekkie:
I sat in a recliner chair outside the other day and lay back. My diamond slipped out of my pocket onto a concrete floor from about a height of 30-40cm. There's now a small (very small) dent in the aluminium bit, bottom right, near the stylus slot.

It's hardly noticable, but I was gutted at the time!

Twice now I've had accidents with my Polaris on the running machine. The phone was resting in the slot on the machine while I was running.

You know its a little heavier than most pdas from the metal frame but yes its a tough SOB and also I heard that the screen is made of some kind of really special plexiglass to prevent cracks. I heard you can drop it from a two story building and the glass will not crack!!! I would definately not try this at home but its what I heard....

I dropped it on the way back from the pub!!

The metal bezel now has three deep lines in it on the front side under the hardware buttons :( Fortunatly its still black

what a disaster!

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] alfa156:
no phone signal after external antenna

Hi Matt,

I had the same problem as you decribe. After i connect a external GSM (phone) antenna

at the backside of my device i can not received any GSM (phone) signal.

Display shows that the device is still searching for a GSM-signal.

So i think that this is a problem which often happen by this type of device.

Also the GPS is not working because the device could not find any satelites.

It still searching for satelites, just the same as the GSM-signal.

So i think that something has broken, a contact from the internal antenna or maybe a shortcut in the circuits when we plugged the external antenna.

I have send the device to HTC and they did not repair it but they give me a another new device, only the inside parts are new not the outside case.

Hope that you could do something with this info.

Kind regards
