[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
The box is still powerful enough (at least for me), there isn't much to debloat. ;)

Haven't tested FTVLaunchX, should harm nothing, you can try it anytime, afaik you can choose between three launchers. Go ahead, test it and write a report in the FTVLaunchX thread ;)

For checking bootloader status, simply run

adb shell
su
cat /proc/cmdline

Bootloader is unlocked if you see: androidboot.unlocked_kernel=true
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_7:
Thanks. bootloader is locked now!

I only actively use 4 APPS, ETV IPTV, VLC, CX_File_Explorer and NewPipe (I also install stericson.busybox_213.apk, but never use it, lol) and yes the FireTV Gen 1 is more than enough for me and its super quick. At times I run my ETV APK for days and its never a problem for the FireTV.

Strange enough, I bricked my FireTV in the 1st place because after installing 5.2.7.2_r1, I wanted to go back to 5.2.6.3_r1 to avoid default to the Home screen after sleep. Now for whatever reason, after repeated tests, resuming from sleep no longer default to Home screen anymore, it returns to the screen /Tab just like in 5.2.6.3_r1 (meaning I no longer need to see the Home screen other than the initial power on/off.

Power on - Home screen - go to settings - Applications - Manage Installed Applications ---- from this point on, going to sleep/resuming from sleep always return to this page, and from here I select which Apps to run, no need to see the Home screen!

P/s I found some old data/folders for APPS I installed years ago still inside my FireTV, why isn't factory reset or TWRP reset got rids of those old folders/data?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
That isn't normal. Going back should show the stock launcher, short press home button or waking up too.

Maybe you have already some kind of launcherhijack installed, i.e. data partition isn't wiped..!?

Long press home button menu for showing installed apps is a bit faster than go to manage installed applications.

A TWRP factory reset and/or wipe data won't format the internal sdcard, you have to select that option in the advanced wipe tab in TWRP.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_7:
You know what, not only my FireTV, I've been told :D:D:Dall my life that I'm not normal! ......just joking with you, Professor!

I don't want to mess up my FireTV again, please tell me a safe way to delete all the junk files in my FireTV (hopefully within TWRP). Is Reset within the FireTV the same as Reset in TWRP? and if I need to reset, use the default Amazon reset or TWRP reset?

You mentioned Data partition, where can I view it and delete it? After the fresh reboot just now (no APPS installed) my FireTV is showing something 2.89 GB available from 5.59 GB, this is not correct, right? (maybe this has something to do with my previous attempt to flash 5.2.6.3/5.2.6.7/5.2.6.9/5.2.7.0) before bricking:o:o.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Then the best is maybe, if you leave it as it is. ;)

Do the launcher thing with FTVLaunchX if you like...

FYI, boot into TWRP, tab wipe, tab advanced wipe, select: cache + dalvik + Data + internal storage, then press wipe. Now you have to do the setup / block updates thing again.

In case you wipe system (this deletes the bootmenu, TWRP and system), you have to install a new prerooted rom. Don't reboot without an installed system, or you have a nice brick. Don't reboot in case of a failure.

A security measure is if you have a working adb connection to the twrp recovery over wired network. In case something goes wrong, you may be able to restart the recovery.

Remember the words from rbox
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_7:
I'm willing to take on any risks under your superb guidance.:angel::angel::angel:

OK, I think this is what I'll try first :

- Boot into TWRP Recovery

- Select Install

- Install 5.2.7.2_r1

- ESC/back out

- Select Wipe

- Select Advance Wipe & select Dalvik + Cache + Data + internal storage

- Once done, reboot

If I can get close to 5 GB of available storage after doing the above, I'll be OK.

If I'm still seeing only 2+ GB of available storage after the above, I'll do these:

- Boot into TWRP Recovery

- Select Wipe

- Select Advance Wipe & select Dalvik + Cache + Data + internal storage + System

- Once done, ESC/back out

- Select Install

- Install 5.2.7.2_r1

- Once done, reboot

Yes, I'm on wired network, and should I decide to wipe System, adb will be on standby just in case the need to issue "killall recovery" to restart TWRP Recovery and to redo the installation (should the installation failed or something went wrong).

Am I correct to assume that TWRP Recovery will always be there and can not be accidentally deleted/wiped, right?

P/s Can you recommend a soldering kit for beginners? (just want to learn)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_7:
Got this screen (1st time seeing this since 2014) after doing adb reboot recovery (1st reboot after recovering from bricked few hours ago), maybe trying to perform updates downloaded just now?

I had no choice (couldn't access FireTV via adb anymore) but to power off and power on after 10 secs and everything is back to normal.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
:good:

No!

As I said, if you wipe system, TWRP is gone until you install a new prerooted Rom.

If you reboot or pull the power cord without a system, you brick...

That is the stock recovery. You see, the locked kernel boots only signed images and won't boot unsigned TWRP.

Therefore, commands like reboot recovery or clicking reboot recovery in TWRP won't boot into TWRP, it boots the stock recovery from the recovery partition...

The only way to boot twrp is via the bootmenu.

Both, the bootmenu and TWRP are located in a ramdisk onto the system partition, a ramdisk that boots only with second init scripting.

As I said, wipe system and the ramdisk is gone too ;)

such a thing is enough
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_7:
OK, since my bootloader is now locked, I think the most I'll do is Select Advance Wipe & select Dalvik + Cache + Data + internal storage and don't mess with wiping the system.

Regarding the bootmenu and ramdisk, how do I get into TWRP Recovry now? Click restart on the FireTV and the moment I see the TWRP logo, right tab into Recovery (the only way)?

Thanks for the soldering kit recommendation, I hope I don't burn the house down.:D:D:D
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Yeah :good:
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt_7:
Thank you Sus_i, and may you have one of the best days in your life!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycelitemaster:
Sorry Matt_7 for highjacking the thread.

[MENTION=5213625]Sus_i[/MENTION] - I ran into similar issue of brick with Qualcomm 9006; Thanks Matt and he guided and referred me to this thread and got me back up.

As Matt_7 advised, I used the Ubuntu Live USB.

Sudo SU did not work, so i used sudo bash which did the job

When i did df -h, it showed my fire tv as sdc1

then i ejected those, and did the commands, it did not work.

I replugged them, some drives populated and i ran the commands it worked

At the end, i issued command eject /dev/sdc, it didn't work, but i ejected by right clicking, then i powered the fire tv box and it booted.

Luckily it showed TWRP as recovery.

I ran the command in adb

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell

SU prompted on fire tv to accept, which i did then it showed

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell

shell@bueller:/ $ su

root@bueller:/ # cat /proc/cmdline

androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=22 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F ehci-hcd.park=3 maxcpus=2 androidboot.selinux=enforcing androidboot.emmc=true androidboot.serialno=709xxxxxxxx301G7 androidboot.prod=1 androidboot.baseband=apq

root@bueller:/ #

Does this mean, it is unlocked? I doubt it.

I was able to successfully update to latest pre-rooted 5.2.72_r1 using TWRP

a) if it is not unlocked, is it possible for me to unlock bootloader again?

b) if not, can i remove root and go stock?

If still possible to unlock bootloader, how can I unlock bootloader again fully?

This is the guide I followed years back.

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-fully...tv-bootloader/
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
:good:

It's locked now. In case of an unlocked bootloader, adb shell prints root 'at' bueller without calling su.

I can't tell why this is happening, but it seems that updating to 5.2.7.2 burns an efuse in the SOC.

The same was happening with 5.0.5, back then amaz. decided to implement the efuse burning, preventing the use of the old unlockable kernel.

Thats why the LED was off...

Afaik [MENTION=3991724]rbox[/MENTION] removed this efuse burning routine in his prerooted roms, the update script checks the bootloader and installs either the locked or unlocked kernel.

It should not possible to burn the fuse with an prerooted rom, unless amaz. adds some new hidden brick code. IDK.

To answer your question, it isn't possible to unlock again with a burned efuse.

The prerooted is nearly stock, except the supersu system install and TWRP/Bootmenu via second init.

Somewhere in this forum is a guide, on how to unroot, I can't remember the steps.

Since it's not a big difference between rooted locked/unlocked on the bueller device (afaik magisk never worked), I would keep supersu and the bootmenu.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycelitemaster:
I'll just keep it as is. Thank you. Works good enough for me.

Weird.

If your bootloader was unlocked before the brick you should be able to boot twrp thought fastboot.

How did you exactly bricked the device? Doing the same as the OP?

I made a factory reset from TWRP, formatting everything.

Now I found a recovery image on my PC "firetv-cwm_recovery-6.0.5.1.4a.img", it boots up with CWM, but I can't do much since none of my usb keyboards are recognized as input device.

I managed to boot into TWRP with "bueller-twrp_3.0.0-7.img" and my keyboard works as well. What's next?

Unfortunately I don't have a USB hub, so I have to unplug the A to A cable and plug my keyboard dongle in to be able to control the interface.

I'm able to access my old files on the FTV.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielF50:
If you can access adb when in twrp, you should be able to:

adb push <prerootedrom.zip> /sdcard
adb shell
twrp install /sdcard/prerootedrom.zip

Or, just do the first command, then unplug it from your pc, plug your keyboard in, and install from the twrp gui.

How can I get that result that you've posted?

I'm able to access the terminal via TWRP.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Since your fireTV is rooted, you're able to use adb shell instead of a twrp terminal.

I bet that almost nobody knows for what this 'goldpersist' partition is used :confused:

The only thing that I could think of is that goldpersist is just a backup of persist, I don't know.

I would leave it alone.

You're probably able to finish the setup if you connect a network cable to the RJ45 port.

Once the setup is finished, you may play with the wifi in the settings.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loplo:
Windows detects the ADB device for a few seconds, but when the FTV passes the booting process, it disconnects the USB. Is there a way to pause this?

I've tried the LAN cable option, won't get past "Scanning for networks".
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
OK, thats right, adb won't work out of the box, without enabled debugging.

Edit:

May be it's good if you just start a new thread, asking if anyone knows what goldpersist does!?

You can also take backups with dd from persist & goldpersist and then try to mount this images with ubuntu, take a look at the filesystem, probably ext4!?

pls help thank u. sorry about my posting this is my first time posting but long time reader...........;):o
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
I've got your pm.

I don't know, what happened to your box?

If fastboot is aviable, you can try some commands...

I would try that as a first step:

fastboot devices

that should print your boxserial, then run:

fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

You can run a "fastboot erase userdata" too, if you like, but that wipes all your data and the amaz. account from your box.

If that won't help, you can try to boot the recovery.

Extract the recovery image out of a prerooted rom, place it in your adb/fastboot install folder, then run:

fastboot boot twrp.img

You have to adapt the name of the file to match exactly...

If TWRP boots up, maybe a clean install of a prerooted rom helps, idk, after that wipe cache and dalvik.
