I have a rooted aftv box a nd want to use a Bluetooth headset but the sound will not come through the headset. I have installed sideload the settings.apk and see Bluetooth is on but just will not recognize the headset.
I presume the rooted box with the old Amazon firmware is the issue where Bluetooth was not supported...
What's the safest way to get it to work? I'm scared to update the firmware and lose root abilities...
Thanks to anyone who might be able to assist with this!
Just install the pre rooted firmware from rbox, it works very well and you will keep root.

Hello
Basically I'm going to be out of the country in 2 weeks time and did not want to update in case something got borked and I'd be without certain stuff while away. Essentially I've got the viper audio mod on a stock 4.3 rom which is now "unrooted" so certain other apps can work properly. Viper still works fine on this unrooted phone though.
In relation to Kit Kat I have a few questions so I know whether it's worth me upgrading now.
Can I downgrade back to 4.3 on a knox voided boot-loader phone?
Does the stock camera or the new google camera app allow you to save to the SD?
Does viper4android work on it?
With this SD business, can I still download stuff onto it and/or copy stuff from a usb stick connected to my phone onto the SD?
That's it for now
Need some help. Have a work phone that I'd rather not root. Is there any way to get tethering to work after the latest update?? FoxFi worked before but now it is not working (blocked by AT&T). Also, Bluetooth and USB options are a no go because of the lack of permissions on the work laptop to install the pdanet client.
Do I have any other options?? I've looked around and everything seems to point to the answer being that you have to root the device. I was hoping for a non-root solution.
bump.
Anyone? Or is root my only option? I know a non-rooted stock ROM isn't really what XDA is about but I was hoping I would have something to test before having to root a work-owned phone.
So I just bought a new AFTV and am trying to root it but for whatever reason I can't seem to find a working download link for towelroot. Towelroot.com isn't working whenever I click on the red logo and I have tried using google but that's no good either. Can anyone help. Btw I'm new to xda developers and have tried looking around the forums for an answer but couldn't find one so I apologize if this is something that has come up before.
You need to check your FW version first and make sure that you have a rootable version.
Most likely though, if you didn't at the least block updates before turning the unit on, then it probably updated to the latest un-rootable FW.
Depending on where you live and/or where you bought your AFTV it may have come with un-rootable FW, so towelroot is not going to help you.
My FM is rootable. I blocked any incoming updates from amazon. Running FM 51.1.0.1_user_510055620. Just trying to download towelroot.

Hi, I rooted my firetv out of the box and managed to block firmware updates after gaining root.
My problem is I haven't had time to manually update to the latest rooted firmware nor have I setup clockwork mod. Now I'm getting errors when trying to update sling tv to the latest version to use the app.
So what I'm asking is can I simply reenable over the updates with one of the remote apps and update to the latest version and everything should be fine?
Is there any reason for my to keep root considering my use case is kodi in home streaming and sling box? Would I be missing out on anything cool?
Has amazon modified the home screen to include something silly like banner ads since the launch of the fire tv?
Thanks for any advice!
Install clockworkmod and bootmenu, then update latest firmware. Sling will then update .
Hey guys!
I use to have root access on my phone and while that, I was stupid enouth to delete the Bluetooth factory app, therefore now I can't switch it on.
Because of my job I had to remove the root access, now I don't know what to do to get the Bluetooth back to work.
I am running on Android 5.0.2 (another issue I have with the phone, can't really update it as installation keeps failing).
Any help will be appreciated,
Thank you
Don't quote me on it but I think you may be able to flash the same firmware as what is already on it to get it back to stock. Double check that tho..

Do you know where can I find the firmware and how to do it?
