After charging, suddenly found the system time is November 15, 2037, and the date and time are gray and can not be modified. Restore the factory settings, date and time still can not modify the display is still 2037. There is a problem, obviously already connected to WIFI, restore the factory settings in the registration of the Kindle account, always prompt "no network connection". Above, seek expert advice, thank you.

A couple hours ago, the AFTV wouldn't play any Prime video and would just hang on the Netflix screen with the loading icon. Fairly certain it was on 51.1.1.0_user_511070220. Definitely 51.1.1.0. This was rooted with updates turned off using the adbFire app and a few Amazon URLs blocked in my router's access restrictions. After rebooting the AFTV a couple times, I read that a lot of solutions online were to delete the Prime/Netflix apps' data/cache. That didn't fix it. So then I followed the next common step and deauthorized the account. This is where the AFTV starting going crazy. After putting the user/pass back in, it started very quickly flashing between the "Authorizing Your Device" screen and the "Could not connect screen." A lot of button mashing broke the loop but every time I entered the user/pass, the loop would begin again. Hard and soft rebooting had no effect. Turning off the router (running AdvancedTomato) access restriction didn't help. I even used adbFire to very temporarily re-enable updates. Still no access.
I figured that this was a sign I should protect my root better. It may have been a mistake, but I decided to try and install Clockwork recovery. I left the "pm disable com.amazon.dcp" from adbFire enabled. So Amazon updates were still blocked. I downgraded to 51.1.0.2_user_510058520 kinda not realizing that this would kill my root and maybe also not realizing that Clockwork would need root to install.
I now have the same exact problem as before. I am stuck on the registration page and cannot sign in. It either says that the "sign in failed" or that the "connection was lost." At least on this earlier firmware, it doesn't seem to get stuck on the flashing loop between those two screens. There is some new weirdness where it seems to be pressing buttons on its own somehow. The text entry menu will disappear as if I closed it. And then when I select it again, it's in a broken format with all the keyboard buttons there, but the input field names missing.
I have verified that the current firmware is 51.1.0.2_user_510058520 with "grep fingerprint /system/build.prop".
I am 99% sure that nothing else from amazon is blocked besides "pm disable com.amazon.dcp", which I'm now unable to turn on again as I don't have root. adbFire says that "Amazon updates are off". I thought that this was reset by a downgrade? I can't think of anything else to check. I used to use dnsmasq to block three Amazon URLs before I found AdvancedTomato's Access Restriction but dnsmasq is empty and the rule in Access Restriction is deleted.
I am 99% sure I never edited my AFTV's hosts file. I just did "adb pull /system/etc/hosts" and all it has in it is "127.0.0.1 localhost".
Is there anything else I should check?
Just tried it again this morning. After every "sign in failed," if I let it sit on the failed screen with the keyboard where it wants me to enter user/pass again and touch nothing for 5-10 seconds, it will suddenly close that keyboard pop up and then immediately reopen it -- except it will be broken in that it's missing all the labels for fields like "Enter email here".

If you have Amazon.dcp disabled then remove all the blocked sites from the router and boot it up and see if you get connected. Maybe a site you have blocked is the issue

I don't know where the router block could be. The rule in Access Restrictions is deleted and the Dnsmasq field is empty. I'm going to try using a cell phone hot spot to register it. Probably won't change anything but I can at least rule out the router as a problem.
Hey guys,
I just received a brand new Fire TV 4K. I want to prevent my device from updating to the newest version, so that I can get root easily. However, when I use the following guide in order to skip the initial update procedure it continues to show me the error message instead of jumping to the registration screen. I set up my router to block the domains according to the guide and I turn of my Wi-Fi router the moment "connection succesful" appears on the screen. Any ideas how to fix this? Or does the method do not work if the Fire TV is shipped with the latest firmware?

i had the exact issue with my fire stick, it's on 5.0.5
after about 100 tries i was about to return it to the store
i went to try it one more time and took it out of the bag and plugged it in again ,it booted up and went straight to checking for updates without asking me to configure the network settings
so i quickly unplugged my modem from my router and it finally went to the registration screen
now i do not know if this thing remember the DNS /network settings i am guessing that it does not since it usually asks you to reconfigure them every time it is powered on prior to completing the setup
i guess it at least remembered the network and password , but i don't know about the DNS settings
it was not the 1st time it booted up and went straight to checking for updates without me configuring DNS settings , but the other few times it also failed to go to the registration screen, i am thinking that this FW has a block that detects if a proxy or open DNS is being used and then refuses to go to registration if it is,
my guess is that when it rebooted that time with out me going to advanced and entering open DNS settings
that it got through to amazon servers and that is what made the FW finally let me go to registration, also forgot to mention that it was downloading an update, but i was able to stop it in time and block the updates with ADB
so i did manage to prevent the update in the end
my guess is that the 1st step in that guide is the problem ,
my guess is that using open DNS to block amazon servers will make it impossible to get to the registration screen on the newer FW's ,at least on 5.0.5
you could always try to do the guide without blocking amazon servers using open DNS
and be really quick to unplug it after you get past registration , then just enable ABD and unknown apps and disconnect your modem from your router and connect to it and block updates via ADB

Thanks for the reply. However, it does not help me much. I did not block updates via Open DNS but via settings in my router.
For those you do not understand the problem, I created a short video: https://gaming.youtube.com/watch?v=vt2ntBk4K-M&feature=share
After the update error message, I should setup the Wi-Fi again and when the message "you are connected" appears, I have to turn off the router. This is what I do. However, the Fire TV does not skip to serach for updates and does not go straigth to registration.

well mine was hanging on checking for updates for like an hour and would never go to the registration screen, just back to the error screen .
ok you are not using open DNS ,but you are still blocking amazon servers, i think it may be that the new FW will not give you the registration screen until it gets an amazon server and connects to it
or it may have some other method of detecting that we are trying to block domains, be it through open DNS or our routers
or it could just be a huge coincidence that it worked for me when i did not configure the open DNS settings, but i i tried it literally over 100 times with open DNS and it would never go past the error screen
i might have tried it like 3 or 4 times without setting up open DNS and blocking the servers and it still would not go past the error screen, but that one time it worked i did not enter the open DNS settings
you can keep on trying and report back if it works with the domains blocked in your router, but if you get to a point where you give up like i did then you can try it without blocking the domains and see if it will go to the registration screen
Hey guys, I am needing some help. I have a First Gen FireTv box that was rooted previously and is now stuck on the registration screen when you first start up the box.
Here's what I did to get to this place. The box was rooted with CWM recovery installed. I followed this guide and made it back to the registration screen. When I tried to log back into the firetv box I kept getting "The information does not match an Amazon account. If Sign in Approval is enabled, please follow the instructions on your phone." The problem is, that I don't have Sign in Approval enabled (that I know of) and I never received any type of message on my phone... During my sign in attempt, I also kept getting the Critically Low on Storage popup.
After trying to sign in, I tried to connect to the box using ADB again, and it actually worked. That told me that something wasn't quite right with the downgrade process so I re-installed CWM and ran through the guide again and then went in and did a wipe of all user data thinking it would clear up the storage issue. I am pretty sure the storage issue is cleared up, but unfortunately, I now cannot log into my firetv to check the firmware version or enable ADB. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue? Please help before I screw things up even more with this box (if that's even possible)

Use any browser on your PC/Mac to recoup (using the email you used to create it) or create a new Amazon account. Then log in.
You should still look into moving into PreRooted FireOS 5. The low storage will be back quickly. That bug was never fix on FireOS 3. The only true fix is updating to FireOS 5.
I'm trying to setup a brand new firestick 4k since my other one is up to date and I want the launcher changed without using that launch at boot app.
This firestick is currently at 6.2.8.1 (NS6281/3387). It's not rooted.
I kept the internet on for as short as possible while I was setting up the firestick. However, it still started downloading an update.
6.2.8.9 (NS6289/3905) is approx 50% downloaded. I still have it connected to my wifi network, but I killed my actual internet connection.
What do I do now??? I tried removing the files with ADB on my PC but I think I followed the wrong tutorial. The download is still there.
Any ideas??

Disable the ota apps then clear settings
Code:
adb shell pm clear com.amazon.tv.settings.v2
Hello,
I have a Philips 50PFL5766/F7. If I go into settings and select reset (there is no physical reset button on this unit), it doesn't actually reset the tv. Once it reboots, the personal Google account is still there. The TV doesn't boot into Android TV at all, only to an HDMI source. The TV attempts to process a Google update (989MB) on startup but it seems the file is too big or it's corrupted and fails to complete. I've tried deleting individual apps to make room to process the update but on reboot, they reappear. It's as though the OS and data are locked and read-only.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
