Hey folks.
I hope I have my post in the right forum. Im thinking of getting a Fire TV because I want to Jailbreak/root it but im unsure is it even possible anymore since Amazon released a new update for their Fire TV which stops this?
Can anyone confirm can a new fire tv still be jail broken?
The ability to root is based on the firmware. It's still possible to root if you have an older firmware, and I understand it's still possible to buy a new Fire TV in the USA with a rootable firmware. The UK and german Fire TV were never available new in rootable versions.
Hey guys I have a question i'll be getting Fire TV on Tuesdaym got it for 55$ sweet price!
I already have a Fire STICK.
When i plugged in fire stick connected to wifi it download OTA.
Then it was not-root-able
how do I get the OTA not to update and access the menu? can I do without internet and go to the Fire Menu?
then I would be able to towel root it
but then how do I stop OTA after rooting it?
Thanks guys!

You didn't miss the opportunity to root the fire TV stick, no software version is rootable on that.
For the firetv, start here:

It may or may not still be rootable from what I understand but you have to be careful to have a chance.
