Hi All,

With black friday I picked up a bunch of Fire tv stick's (4K). Figured everything out i wanted to do except I have a need to modify the hosts file so i need root access.

I came across

https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/orig-development/unlock-fire-tv-stick-4k-mantis-t3978459

and

https://xdaforums.com/fire-tv/development/fire-tv-stick-4k-mantis-prerooted-stock-t3983091

Between them You'd figure that's all you need... But I've been out of this for a while so have some questions.

First step of Unlocking the bootloader, I don't need the stick connected to a display/tv do i?

After the bootloader is unlocked. How do i go about flashing the ROM with ADB? Sorry but the last time i used ADB was like android V2, I've forgotten a lot.

Anyone kind enough to hold my hand on this I appreciate. Just looking for straight forward instructions on unlocking and then flashing the rooted image.

Thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almazick:
You don't need to install ROM. You can update firestick 4k to the latest version from GUI. You don't need display/tv. Download Magisk-v20.1.zip and Adblink. Follow the direction to unlock bootloader from your first link. Fire stick 4k must be connected directly to PC. Once bootloader unlocked and tested that it works, put it back to PC. Use adblink to upload Magisk file to Fire Stick 4k and then run the command

reboot recovery

wait 30 seconds and reconnect with adblink. Click on ADB SHELL

echo "--update_package=/sdcard/Magisk-v20.1.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
echo "--wipe_cache" >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery

Wait about 5 minutes to be on a safe side.

You are rooted :)

I've modified the registry entry, i've try to use advancedconfig, but no lucky...

I've try to shutdown after modification, I've try to softreset, but every time the sytem goes up, the sim contacts is visible and the regisrty key comes back to "1"...

Any suggestions?

Thanks guys.

i use SK Tools. does the job!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] massimax:
doesn't work...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lightman3dd:
I don't think so...try to softreset (or power down) ...the SIM contact will be visible again.

I think that there is a startup program that recovers some registry keys.

Something similar happens also with deveicelock. If you use the device lock, the backlight timing is always set to 10seconds. If you change it, it works with the new timing until the next devicelock. (then it will be resetted to 10 seconds)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] phankhi:
Using SK tools works for me, i have soft resetted my phone many times and theres no sign of the sim contacts....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lightman3dd:
I've try several times with Sktools but after the softreset the sim contacts is visible...maybe something in my italian rom (1.35)? i really don't know.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
yeah maybe. You could try to upgrade to 1.37.707.1

NikiSimFix

Tnx a Lot it works!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Caradhras:
Excellent! It needs just a soft reset after installing
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Diplomate:
There is also a simpler way, which does not however survive a reset either (but it can be set through the standard menus instead of the registry, and it has the advantage of being easily toggled).

If - like me - you are synching your contacts from Outlook and do not want to see the SIM contacts, the easiest is to assign a category in Outlook to all your contacts, and then simply filter the All People view by that category. All your contacts are still there, and the SIM contacts disappear...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] davemazo:
Doesn`t work for me. tried installing it to Device and Internal Storage performed a soft reset after both but sim contacts are still displayed. I think the only way to get this working is to delete all contacts from the sim then they definitely won`t show up.

**Edit** It seems to have worked after a second soft reset, brilliant
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] marc.cornelius:
I've tried several tools and it keeps on coming back with me as well. Why oh why are such basic things so very badly implemented?

I'm using an O2 XDA Orbit 2 which I believe is basically a rebadged HYC Touch Cruise.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hkr:
y.Jay.HideSIM

yjeanrenaud from pocketpc.ch made a small program, who helps to hide the SIM contacts permanently.

The problem with the SIM contacts is, that manila resets the registry value ShowSIM = 1 when it starts.

The attached cab installs a program to \windowsa\startup who changes the registry value 90s after the start of the system, so that manila won't reset it again ...

4. hit connect to network (same system bar).

[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] foc110:
I just recieved my phone and before I installed anything, I was going thru it and saw that it has the option to enable oem unlock? Anyone else get this or able to further a rooting process since it has it enabled?
[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] SGCMarkus:
OEM unlock in the settings just sets a bit in frp partition.

This would allow you to unlock the bootloader IF you could

1) access the bootloader in the first place

2) it would have the necessary commands available

2a) fastboot oem unlock (android standard)

2b) fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin (or so, for LG) with the unlock.bin provided by lg, generated by device id and imei (aka needs to be whitelisted by them)

on the sd845 devices, those that flash an engineering bootloader from someone with an octoplus box, use 2a because thats available there (after they had to wipe laf to enter fastboot)

but for that to try you would need

1) someone with an octoplux box, capable of flashing to sd855 LG devices

2) some leaked engineering bootloader (or create your own via reverse engineering, but one wrong step here, and brick basically)
[LG V50 ThinQ Questions & Answers] foc110:
I appreciate the return and detailed response. I am moving from the samsung galaxy s8 active to this V50. So I got excited about seeing the enable oem switch in developers mode, being that the s8 doesnt even display it. I miss being able to tinker with a device since the nexus 5x. This one is a beaut tho. So we'll see if life can adjust to it. the S8 was good, overall, for what it was. But having a secure, or at least ipi68+mil std, is not for one who enjoys to tinker. You mentioned about LG whitlisting it. Is there such a way to have that requested, or is it a result of a form of consequence?

[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] SonicKiller:
Hi guys,

I have my XZ3 which stopped recognizing my SIM card after an update. WiFi was still working at the time, but the phone was rebooting very frequently (every hour, couple of hours) with or without a SIM card inserted.

I went ahead and reflashed the latest firmware for my region with flashtool and unfortunately now WiFi doesn't work anymore and the phone reboots every 5 minutes (I guess after timing out on the WiFi driver missing or corrupted).

I tried to use software repair with Xperia companion but no difference.

I managed to get my radios working again once after flashing a modem/modemst1/modemst2 from a different firmware version, but unfortunately after a little while it rebooted and for some reason the phone got back to not recognizing my sim card/wifi again.

I have my bootloader locked and for some reason, reflashing modem/modemst1/modemst2 doesn't seem to work anymore (it's like it's not flashed at all, even though flashtool and newflasher seems OK).

Everything leads me to think that my EFS partitions are getting corrupted after a while, but what would be corrupting them? What is remaining on the phone that would corrupt them when I wipe and flash all the partitions with flashtool?

Since my bootloader is locked I can't erase modemst1 and modemst2 partitions as advised in here:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-efs-partitions-how-to-lost-t3307793

Could anyone advise on to repair this issue please?

I am considering getting one after my O2 got a new body, so was wondering if anyone used a crystal case and whether it's a good idea, whether they slip off at all, whether there is any damage to the points of contacts, edges etc. At the moment all of my Unis and variants live in leather book-type cases with clear keyboard covers, I am sure you know the type. The crystal cases are fairly cheap, I used one for my Magician and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, but have my reservations about the clamshell form factor. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] SJMES:
Maybe it was just the type that I got but I had problems with the crystal case preventing me from being in tablet mode. It wouldn't let the screen lie flat against the keyboard. I have found that the aluminum case is the best...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] enigma1nz:
I noted crystal cases also come with a belt clip moulding on the flat part that would be against the table in laptop mode, so I guess lying the JasJar flat against the table and typing would be difficult as well. I have my leather book-type cases, just thought crystal case would be a nice addition. On further examination I realised probably not.

I have that one as well. The only thing that doesn't line up well is the spine-the power connector and audio connector and such. BUT, it's hardly a problem since the skin is flexible and i can still connect the power and usb cables without any effort. I love the feel of it now and it looks a lot better than it did. I recommend it. I even tried to find this skin for my hermes and wizard. Unfortunately, I have the versions of these that aren't supported. Can't beat the price though for the Uni.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] enigma1nz:
