[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seattleweather:
bought a firstick 4K from CL 2 month ago. I had difficulty to pass the initial setup. Called Amazon and was told the firststick 4k was reported stolen. I gave the phone number where i bought to Amazon, they told me there is an account associate with that number, but the firestick was not purchased from that number. WTF? I got hold with the seller and he insisted that he bought the stick, and would send me the receipt. 3 days later, nothing from him. Called and texted, but nothing.

Here are my questions

(1). What if I report to police. Will they get involved?

(2). Anyway to by pass the initial setup?

(3). Can I root without initial setup? Can I setup after root?

Thanks and happy new year!

Dear friends,

Finally after many years, today I parted ways with my beloved Xperia T. Dont worry its not discarded.

I have given it to a needy family who need it for their kid's online classes [post COVID world]

Post on Twitter

Also I will be donating/giving away all the phones which I had received as donations or via donations through the XDA Community to kids who need support for their online learning!

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to this wonderful community. I know that most people might not even be active here, or many might not even remember me. But just wanted to say that we were here and we had some awesome time!

cheers friends! and lets stay connected on Twitter, Github or LinkedIn

[General Questions and Answers] :

[General Questions and Answers] :
hello
[General Questions and Answers] :
message 31 to 35 probably done this but pls check if done properly
[General Questions and Answers] :
this may be new lead pls elaborate
[General Questions and Answers] :
As I can see I stated it wrong: must read "are present" instead of "are present on device". Sorry for this.

1. Typically people by means of SPD Research Tool extract existing vbmeta-sign.img, then pass this extracted file to fastboot what rewrites it at its own when you run

fastboot devices
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta-sign vbmeta-sign.img
fastboot reboot

You don't have to create vbmeta-sign.img at your own as you can read elsewhere.

2. File vbmeta.pem what holds the unlock-token what you get with

fastboot devices
fastboot oem get_identifier_token

must get created at your own - see attachment. Once created you rename it to signature.bin and flash it as follows

fastboot flashing unlock_bootloader signature.bin
