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.

That should work. I just received & rooted my 3rd AFTV tonight. Bought it online @ Staples last Thurs. I've bought 3 total from Staples. One last month & two last week. Been lucky to have never gotten an update nag screen on first setup. All of mine have come with FW 510055620. I have also heard BestBuy in-store AFTV's are rootable. I am finding it hard to find post about AFTV in the USA not being rootable if one follows the guides over at AFTVNews.com to the letter at the time of unboxing. I only know of one buyer from Staples that said he was not able to root 2 AFTV's.

Right.. But so far they have been very rare. You are just the 2nd person out of dozens & dozens (participated in two threads over at SlickDeals regarding FireTV's) that have received unrootable FireTV's... Did you make a note of the serial on the box ?? What router where you using ?
I have bought new one, and rooted. thank you everyone

Can you tell us where you bought from to be able to see root this?
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
