I wanted to know what firmware amazon was shipping their Fire Tv's with. I have two but they are both on the latest firmware and really want a rooted one so I can try the new 'playing with fire' mod. If anyone has recently bought one can you tell me which firmware it was shipped on. I'm looking to hear about the Fire Tv, but the Stick works also. I also wanted to know if anyone knew if anyone is actually trying to root the new firmware? Thanks in advance guys.
Just noticed we shouldn't ask questions here. Sorry about that guys, I'll post in the correct section.

Hi, I want to first thank every body working on this to give us the best experience possible with our aftv boxes.
I know root is currently unavailable for newer aftv versions. So, I was wondering if there is someone currently working on getting that sorted out and if is making any good progress. I wish he/she/they are progressing.
If so, which version is the one is currently being worked on?
PS. Admins, move this to the appropriate forum if needed.
I am also interested by this whole thing, as I got my AFTV from Amazon Germany this week and think that many others will get it from the same batch (unrootable latest version) mine is turned off as I have no way to block the update addresses... It's horror to have a new toy and not be able to play with it...
Of course, I would be willing to test everything you throw at me to get root working
Was thinking of picking up a second Fire TV (my first one is rooted with Xposed and XBMC launcher). I see from your post that new versions from Amazon can't be rooted yet. Anybody know if the ones in Staples are on versions that can't be rooted?

I got mine at staples about two weeks ago. It was the last they one they had at the time, but I was able to root it, no worries.
Yup, I picked one up on Wednesday and was able to root it without issue. They still had a bunch there. Thanks.
Hi guys,
I have the 7" 5th gen kindle fire and rooted it with rootjunky's tools. Everything went smoothly. I have Android and Google Play on the device now.
I did this about two months ago though. So my question is,, isn't there any firmware updates or different firm wares to put on this?
I checked his site and it looks like the same files I used in December are the only ones still available.
So any suggestions on what I should do? I mean everything is working great,, I guess I'm just looking for something new... Maybe getting kinda bored? I don't know.
Thanks for any and all help

My mother in law just picked up a second generation Fire TV Stick and was asking me if it's rootable. She said she knows someone who rooted their 1st generation and had a bunch of stuff sideloaded onto it, but from what I have researched online, the second generation is not yet rootable at this time...
Anyone know for sure? I have never dealt with one of these before, I am only familiar with ROKU.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
As title, does anyone know when there going to be released over here ?
Been wanting one myself for quite a while and there is still no sign of them here.
Thanks
