Probably not. But go to the guides section "How to Root" & follow the Starter's Guide at the link above & check on your exact device & FW to get a definite answer.

Hey Guys,
i am new here and i have my problems to find things i look for here in Forum =(
So i start a new Thread. I have HA2138-V600 unit.
Can somebody say me how can i root it? Kingoroot doesnt work.
Thank you!
You are not saying which softwareyou have installed
If Android 6, KingoRoot will work, if not try again and look for information on PX5 forums
If ANdroid 8, not root available yet...people is working on a PreRooted ROM (see the Android 8 PX5 forums)

Can you please provide a link to this version. I cannot find it and the official kingoroot site does not show that version in the change log.

Look on the corresponding thread for PX5 Android 6 Repository
Is there a list of apps to safely disable for firetv 2? i see some threads but old and not sure if up to date.
For Amazon devices running OS 5, this one is pretty much up to date: full-debloat
The git is current to firmware version 5.2.6.8.

You can disable ads without root. Install Blokada.

I'm rooted, so i'll give the rooted version a shot.
Was using AdAware but it was still showing ads, and i'm too lazy to go through the white and black list procedure
I'll see how blokada is

I have a couple questions:
1. Will this work on FTV 1 OS version 5.2.6.9?
2. Does the FTV have to be rooted to run the script? Mine is not rooted.
Thanks

The answer to both questions is yes.
But I would suggest examining the script first. It not only disables, but also removes the apps.
I posted the link as a reference.

Hi,
I'm a bit confused about the requirements rooting or unlocking the 2nd gen. FTV "Sloane". Is there any chance to install LineageOS on my FTV running 5.2.7.3? It also would be ok to have a rooted FTV OS as long as I can use extFAT/NTFS. What do you suggest? All manuals I've found required FTV OS >5.2.7.x
:wq!

Hey,
There's no unlock for sloane tho.
Do this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fi...fire-tv-stick-2-anti-rollback-t3986303/page32
And then (if you want), install LineageOS 12.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/rom-lineage-12-1-t4016981
Regards.
Hi Rortiz,
thanks for your reply.
Lineage seems to have some caveats. :/
Code:
Issues:
HW Decoding (Netflix).
G-APPS Not tested.
USB Not working. Keyboard/Mouse.
Could I install a prerooted FTV OS after the unbricking procedure?
:wq!

Is there a tutorial for Sloane with different board revision? Or is there a root method? Would just like to freeze some amazon apps.
Thanks.

This is OTA update,so maybe something like this:
https://tclnordic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012916240-Perform-a-local-update-TCL-Smart-TV-3
Btw, read in your Manual.
Edit:
Don't unzip file.....
must be copied to USB FAT32 as you download.
Basic update....
1. Press Settings
2. Go to Option
3. Go to Software update
4. Go to USB Upgrade
5. The software will upgrade to the TV

First....some your configuration or setting maybe doing this.
If you don't have many apps, do factory reset and see again.
Second....Android is in firmware version, if you know anybody with Android 5?
I found V042 with Android 4.4.3, maybe can help me if in your TV now is
