Disregard: HBO Go w/Xposed issues - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been using the prerooted 5.2.4.1 for at least 6 weeks now. Today I decided to try to tinker with a solution to DirectTVNow not working because of root. I flashed Xposed, enabled Rootcloak (still doesn't work), as well as checked if DTVnow had root access (fairly sure I caught my wife granting it). I didn't end up getting DTVnow working (hoping for a Magisk solution soon).
But now HBO Go is broken. I tried wiping it's data. I turned off all the Xposed modules. Any suggestions?
Edit: Found the leanback apk that works. This armsrace is stupid.

Found a working root for 4.6.1

Greetings!
I was successfully able to root my US unlocked Fire Phone (on 4.6.1) by installing and running KingRoot 4.0!
KingRoot appears to work on other 4th gen Amazon devices as well!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/to-root-4th-gen-amazon-device-t3104853
One caveat:
KingRoot installs KingUser as its superuser app, and KingUser appears to prevent the su binary from being overwritten.
Because of this, I have not yet been able to replace KingUser with SuperSU or similar.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can resolve this, but until then
I've opted to install the Xposed Framework and LightningWall module in order to block KingUser's network activity.
najoor has found a way to replace KingUser via adb:

Thanks z64 for the information about a working root for 4.6.1 (US Unlocked GSM) Fire Phone.
I would like to know if KingRoot 4.0 is really safe to use, and if will make a FULL or a PARTIAL root to the Amazon Fire Phone?
I also would like to know if after rooting, you will be able to go backward and UnRoot later the Fire Phone, to the default and normal original state?

Is KingRoot a PC based program or a APK file? I'm Google searching now, just wondering which you used.
http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application
Choose 4.0
does this survive a reboot? that would be great news =)
After rebooting root checker report" ROOT" but you are right superSU is not working actualy it got installed but the SU binary upgrade failed
Can I go backward and UnRoot later the FirePhone to Default/Normal Original State??
Please, can someone that has already Rooted their Fire-Phone, if after rooting would be able to go backward and UnRoot later the Fire Phone, to the default and normal original state?

I'm not sure what qualifies as a full or partial root; the bootloader is still locked, so no custom recovery or custom roms.
It is possible to unroot using the included KingUser app.
You have to uncheck "Backup Root permission" first to completely unroot it.
(Still haven't figured out how to replace KingUser with SuperSU while it's rooted.)

Instructions for replacing Kinguser with SuperSU are posted in the general forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/root-fire-phone-supersu-t3105546
Not sure why - but after following instruction (after rooting etc) tried to follow the guide for making phone look like normal android and thats when all hell broke loose on my phone. Unresponsive bottom button, wiget's not loading, super su showing nothing then refreshing a while later showing apps in there etc.
Kinda killed my phone so going to factory reset and start again.
This is great! I got the now launcher to work, although I'm not exactly sure how. I tried the supersu replacement and only made it to steps 6 and 7 mostly because I couldn't understand what exactly I was supposed to do, so step 8 didn't work and I'm still using the kingsu. I then d/l the now launcher and the google (search) apps, tried to run it a couple of times with no luck. Then force stopped the home app, restarted, and I was given the choice to use the now launcher.
Its easy. If u have root, convert Google Now Launcher and Google Search with Titanium Backup to a System App... And you can Choose Google Now Launcher.
This is great. I was able to fix my play store/services issues by changing my build.prop to nexus 5 after rooting. Awesome!

State Of Xposed on Shield

So this thread will be about the general state of Xposed on our shield TV's. If you have any questions or need help related to Xposed on the Shield TV, feel free to ask.
First Things First, Xposed does work on the 2.1 firmware. (If someone on the Vulcan preview could chime in about 3.0 that would be great.)
Steps to install Xposed on 2.1 (Assuming you already have a working recovery)
1) Download xposed-vXX-sdk22-arm64.zip and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk from this thread.
either adb push it to /sdcard/ or use a thumb drive etc etc.
2) ADB reboot recovery
3) Preform a full backup IMPORTANT (I did 2 backups, one to internal storage, and another to external usb, better safe than sorry!)
4) Flash xposed-vXX-sdk22-arm64.zip (Wiping cache after is optional)
4) Reboot to system, Booting will take longer than usual, it took about 5 minutes on my 16gb, but could take longer.
5) Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk (ES file explorer works great for this, you can download it from playstore)
6) Open up Xposed installer once installed, select framework, and it should show Xposed framework version 80 is active. If not, repeat steps 1-4, If you're still having problems, ask here. From the installer you can install modules, just make sure to activate them and reboot!​
Steps to install Xposed on 3.0 MM (with a working recovery)
1) Download xposed-vXX-sdk23-arm64.zip and XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk from this thread.
either adb push it to /sdcard/ or use a thumb drive etc etc.
2) ADB reboot recovery
3) Preform a full backup IMPORTANT (I did 2 backups, one to internal storage, and another to external usb, better safe than sorry!)
4) Flash xposed-vXX-sdk23-arm64.zip (Wiping cache after is optional)
4) Reboot to system, Booting will take longer than usual, it took about 5 minutes on my 16gb, but could take longer.
5) Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk (ES file explorer works great for this, you can download it from playstore)

I've only tried 2 modules so far, one works, one doesn't. If You have tried a module and it does or doesn't work, please comment with the version and I'll add it to this list.

I installed Xposed on the 3.0 update. Had no issues. Also installed Xprivacy. Hoping to bypass mlb blackouts with mlb.TV.
I went through the standard process for installing it. Basically the exact steps of the OP but the newest version of the framework.

App Settings module works perfectly.
Xposed and root are working fine for me on 3.0 update, I'll write another guide maybe later today, but the steps are the same, just with the updated zip (SDK 23 for MM).
Brad, is Xprivacy working for you? Any problems?

Andy can u help me.I have installed xposed and it says it is active.Than i instaled App Settings and when i try to change Dpi or other app setting nothing happens.(i have stock 6.0 ...3.0 rooted)
Installed root and xposed on 3.0 no problems, just needed to use pen stick because adaptive storage. Cannot seem to access the bootloader via hardware method (wait 3 secs then hold power button). I Tried many variations of it to no avail... Also I have to reflash the boot loader every time to access it. If I choose kernel recovery from bootloader it just shows the android with a warning / error.
Using Xposed mod Unbeloved Hosts and Lucky Patcher. Between the two I can filter 99% of all ads.
keep getting a error when tryin to flash with twrp on my nvidia shield tv whats is the corret zip for my device? Thanks all.
K I got Xposed installed MM 3.0 But when I use KODI if I have a stream playing it stops a few mins in, If I stop all of the modules in xposed and restart KODI Starts to work again, no probleems streaming. So it has to be Xposed or one of the modules I was using. Luck Patcher, App settings, Xprivecy, yourtube, MinGaurd (Not sure full name der) , YouTube AdAway.
Just installed the latest version of Xposed following the steps on the guide. I'm on 3.3 update, rooted. No problems so far. Will test some modules and report back.

I finally unlocked my bootloader and rooted my Shield after using it for about a year. I use Xposed regularly on my Nexus 6P but wanted to know if anyone has information about Youtube Adaway Module working (or alternative). So far seems like it doesn't work everywhere.
Are there any other modules worth getting on Xposed for Android TV? Perhaps something for Xbox 360 Controllers?
Also would be very interested in Youtube HDR if anyone has a workaround seeing that it's supported officially by Youtube but their Youtube for Android TV app literally hasn't been updated since April so I take it we'll have to wait a few months. Not fun considering my 4K HDR tv has been waiting a year for this.
Thanks in Advance.

Well, Youtube Adaway Module it's working for me. About 1 hr of continuous playback and no one single ad. Xprivacy and Marshmallow SD Fix working too.
Now that Nougat has been out for months and Xposed not working on it, has anyone figured out a way to block Youtube ads? I know arter97 has patched youtube apks but nothing yet for the Shield.
Does Adguard work on Android TV?

Hide root from Vudu?

All of a sudden last night, Vudu decides it won't work on my rooted N7 with pure nexus marshmallow. I tried a couple root hiders from google play with no joy. Then I tried wiping and reinstalling the ROM without rerooting, and it still won't work. Got any tips?
Same issue
I had the same issue start last night on my t95z plus. I tried hide my root and root cloak plus and neither worked. I worry that vudu marks a device as rooted and it cannot be reversed as vudu tracks devices already. Makes me really frustrated as I have been using my box as the primary vudu watcher and have over 100 movies on it. Stupid DRM hurting the people who actually pay to watch content. Let me know if you find something that works for you.
I installed the latest PureNexus Nougat, and Vudu still refused even though it doesn't come rooted. So I uninstalled Vudu, installed Magisk, then reinstalled Vudu. It works now, but will only play SD and I know casting is gone too. I wonder if I can get Magisk installed with the marshmallow PN I was using before.
So I went back to PN Marshmallow and installed Magisk 14.0, made sure Hide was set, and I'm back in business! Vudu works again with HDX playback. Don't know if it matters or not, but I made sure to uninstall Vudu before installing Magisk, just to make sure the Vudu install is clean and not "pre-tainted."

Stockish P2XL Magisk and Google Pay

I was running Android 9 Aug?2018 update with a custom kernel and Magisk. A few weeks ago Google Pay stopped working and i read the long thread here about the Google Play store update and Magisk no longer hiding root. I dirty flashed an updated stock rom and removed the format (-w) switch. I stayed with the stock kernel. Re-rooted with update Magisk root and Magisk app. In Magisk i pass SafetyNet Check ctsProfile and basicIntegrity. When i try to use Google Pay I still get the error message that i cannot use GooglePay there. I am very close to just going completely stock with no root as I am not jacking with my phone as much as i did years ago, android is progressing nicely and plus many devs have moved on from the P2XL. I just really dont want to have to re setup my phone. Any thing else i can try to use GooglePay before i go back to stock?

There is a lot of talk in many threads about this. There is a good tutorial or two around that do work but seemingly only temporarily then it breaks again. Seems Google would a way to detect stuff that is not patched yet. I am at work so I don't have much time to go searching but it should not be hard to find. It includes deleting a folder and reinstalling and hiding magisk.

Question Unable to install Netflix after rooting

So, I managed to root this beauty 1+9 Pro relatively easily.
I got Magisk installed, and hid all the Apps that needed hiding.
Even Google Pay works.
But I can't for my sanity figure out why Netflix or Android OS 11 is refusing to let me install Netflix.
Everytime I try to install the Netflix App latest APK, extracted from my old working phone ( Razer Phone 2 also rooted), it will just give me the error message " Sorry No Application Available "
Does anyone have a clue what can be done to make Netflix install in a rooted 1+9 Pro ?
Thanks.
BTW i tried several Netflix App version already.
Also I do know the APK works because I used it to install on another Tablet that will not show up Netflix on Google store.

Is Netflix currently installed as a system app? I wasn't able to uninstall that or get it working, so when I was on 11.2.2.2 I managed to fix it by installing a *newer* version of the Netflix apk that I grabbed from apkpure.com, over top of the system app. Then I had the same issue again on 11.2.4.4, and that method didn't work anymore. However, that time it let me uninstall updates to the app and then update in the play store.
I dont know how exactly, but Netflix still detects the rooted device and denies the install from google play, I think based in the unocked boot loader not sure.
I managed to install from apkmirror and is working fine now.
there is a catch though.
They are moving away from simple apk install and using apk bundles, like some sort of tarball with several apks in it, so you will need this apkm installer app for it to install the newer version. to get this installer working you need to disabled MIUI optimizations from dev options. thats all, I got mine working this passed saturday that way
EDIT: never mind with that MIUI option i thought this was a diffirent model, none the less the apkmirror is still worth a shot
I some how managed to force install it via Titanium Backup, but then it gives me another error when I try to run Netflix App.
" This device is not supported by the app "
it's running the latest version Netflix v7.102.0 build 12 35461
You have to install Magisk Canary, once you do so reboot the phone. Wipe Google play stores data and cache.. magisk hide Netflix and the Google Play Services reboot once more. That's how I got mine to work.

It's just so weird, everything else works, Google Pay (wallet), Pokemon Go, Banking Apps, everything else that usually will complain and refuse to run when Root is detected, are all working fine, except for Netflix.

I did this and had the same problem while unrooted, so it turned out to be a waste of time. It seems to have an issue with the unlocked bootloader, not just root. At least with root you can hide unlocked status, which is a step in the right direction. Hide root from Netflix, and also hide magisk app itself in magisk settings.
If you're trying to install Netflix over the system app, make sure to first uninstall updates to the system app so it's the oldest possible version. Then make sure whatever version you're installing on top (whether from play store or APK download) is newer than your installed version. Older versions will not install over newer ones.

At least with root you can hide unlocked status, which is a step in the right direction. Hide root from Netflix, and also hide magisk app itself in magisk settings.
If you're trying to install Netflix over the system app, make sure to first uninstall updates to the system app so it's the oldest possible version. Then make sure whatever version you're installing on top (whether from play store or APK download) is newer than your installed version. Older versions will not install over newer ones.

Update.
Minor good news.
I wiped the phone from recovery mode.
So, the phone is kind of factory mode, I completed the "new" phone setup thing, and the first thing I went to try was Netflix and it worked.
So... it appears to be something to do with Root and/or Magisk being detected.
Update 2
More good news, I rooted it again, installed Magisk and Netflix is still working.
Not sure why it wasn't working before, also not quite sure what was the actual fix.
I don't really consider a full system wipe a "fix" but well that did it for me.

A wipe isn't necessary but glad you got it working

So, I just imported Apps and Data from the old phone again via Google "setup my device" transfer, and now Netflix got disabled again.
I'll try again and skip Google transfer to find out if that helps.
I can always use One+ Switch App to see if that is better.

OnePlus switch will still result in the same issue. Clear data and cache,install the app link I provided and make sure magiskhide is set to on.

Seems like it worked,
I installed a full APK from my old phone and now it's able to run.
However it still doesn't show up in Google Play store when I search for Netflix.
