[Q] Skip Amazon fire tv registration

Hi all,
I had recently attended a Qualcomm developer conference in San Francisco and they had given an Amazon Fire TV to the attendees. But the problem is that from my home in India, I'm unable to even register the device.
I created an account on Amazon.com with a US address, but it still fails to sign in.
I tried proxy dns services like unlocator and dns4me, but no luck.
Without registering the device I cannot access any menu items , hence no way to enable adb debugging.
My goal is to turn the AFTV into a media centre box / android tv using xbmc and google play store.
Is there a way to skip the registration and enable full access either by -
1. Somehow going to fastboot mode and flashing a pre-rooted image (is that available) ?
2. Or going to recovery mode and adb sideloading a update-zip file which removes the registration hurdle ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I dont want a black brick near my TV which does nothing

Short answer is you'll probably need a US or Germany based VPN. Long answer is fastboot is useless because they prevent everything with a locked bootloader. And recovery is useless because ADB over USB doesn't work. Even if you were able to flash rooted builds, you still need to be able to get through registration.

Thanks. Will try the vpn route.
But just out of curiosity, how do I get to fastboot mode?
I know how to enter recovery mode by using the keyboard
alt+prtscrn+i method. Is there any similar key combination
to get to fastboot? Also, i have used the 'fastboot unlock' cmd
to unlock bootloaders before, but of course it will ask for a
password. Does any one know the unlock pwd for AFTV?
Its a long shot, I know.

MagineTV on Fire TV

Hey
Is anybody of you able to use the MagineTV App on your Fire TV?
I was able to install the .apk with adbFire and lunching it also works without any problem.
But then its necessary to enter your email and password to enter MagineTV.
This is were I fail , because selecting the windows were the password/email has to be entered can't be done with the remote control.

I haven't tried it yet, but I don't see why it wouldn't work? Although some apps are more Fire friendly than others, there's usually a way around everything However, the solution may not always be as easy or convenient as we'd prefer. And in this case, you may have to go the "old-fashioned" way by hooking up a keyboard in order to be able to enter the info that is required, or if you insist on remaining wireless you can now get a Smart Keyboard for a pretty fair price!

'OpenVPN for Android' working on non-rooted Fire TV

Over the last week I've been trying to get OpenVPN Installer and then OpenVPN Settings to work on my rooted Fire TV 2 (on 5.0.5_r4). I've described the steps here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/vpn-rooted-fire-tv-t3370488
Even though the VPN turns on, it appears the Fire TV 2 internet traffic is still routed through the original pathway and the IP address remains unchanged, which I've been unable to fix. Has anyone managed to get OpenVPN Settings to work on a rooted Fire TV?
However, I recently noticed OpenVPN for Android (https://plus.google.com/communities/114121831091105660092) and gave this a try on my Fire TV 2 and it worked straight out of the box (giving an updated IP address when checked). I presumed that it only worked because my Fire TV 2 was rooted with the necessary VPN binaries installed (by OpenVPN Installer). However, the author of OpenVPN for Android communicated to me that root is not needed and, as a test, I've just tried it on my unrooted Fire TV 1 (on 5.0.5) and it also works!
Will be interesting to see if others have had similar success and can confirm findings.

I gave this a go ( OpenVPN for Android ) on my rooted firetv 1,
and sure enough it works

Does anyone know if this gives accesss to different content with a German Prime membership, e.g. when routed to an US VPN-Endpoint? Or does it just stop working?

What do you need to do to install this on an unrooted Fire Stick? My only guys is to install it on my phone, grab the apk and adb it to my stick. Any better suggestion?

Just use the app in the op

dean4k, like Petesky says, just use 'OpenVPN for Android' found in the link in the first post - it works great and the latest version is much easier to use with just the Fire TV remote (no need of a mouse pointer) once setup!
Bramtom1 you may have already seen this useful page (on AFTVnews) but I found it a great help for learning how to connect/load stuff onto Fire TV:

Add Proxy only for Prime
Guys I live in Argentina and can change the DNS setting on my stick to receive USA prime but doing so breaks my Netflix, also have Kodi installed and that works fine with US Dns or local. Is there any way to add some code to only Proxy prime through the US DNS server.
I tried installing DNS changer app but it does not change the Firestick settings although it says changed, my stick is also rooted.
Thanks not sure what thread to post on.

What VPN Service works?
For those of you that got this working, what VPN service are you using? I am trying with Private Internet Access, and the app shows connected, but when I check, I see my original IP. Thanks.

Hi Mav21,
I'm using IronSocket VPN, which works fine.

Not using it just now but I was using PIA as well and it does show original ip but if you use another app to check it will show that your ip has changed

Thanks, when I check on the PIA website, it returns my original IP address and says "not protected". Any other settings that I need to look at?

Ever figure this out with PIA? I only see my original IP despite installing "OpenVPN for Android" and it connecting. I also have the OpenVPN binary installed manually (I'm rooted).

People need to be very wary about this. If the PIA site sees your source IP address, you are NOT protected.
I'm seeing the same issue as others, both the PIA site and any other site the returns IP addresses shows the source IP in both Firefox and Chrome.
OpenVPN appears to connect, but traffic is not being routed through it.

May it be possibile that this only works with the fire tv and not with the fire tv stick?
Has anyone of you managed to use OpenVPN on a non-rooted fire tv stick?
I tried and my stick is connected to my VPN, but the traffic is unfortunately not routed through the tunnel

I can't get it to work. Using Iron Socket and i get the error "tls-auth enabled, but no valid --auth alogorith specified". Not sure why. Fire TV 1 running 5.2.1

No luck for me either.
I have a Firestick. I sideloaded the latest OpenVPN for Android.
Imported the profiles from EZ Explorer.
After entering password/user, it attempts connecting and I See the following errors:
Code:
Failed to open the tun interface
Error: Cannot find de.blinkt.openvpn.core.OpenVPNService

Help, my firestick has no network capability

Hi everyone
i my friend gave me his firestick 4k the other day because he has managed to mess it up big time
He said that he followed a tech docter youtube video to sideload an app to remove bloatware, after being successful at this, he then used an app that clears your cache and closes all the apps for you, from what i can understand it sounded like the app "cleanmaster"
after doing that he immediately lost his internet connection, he said that there wasnt even a network section anymore, just a troubleshooting option, he then factory reset his stick but this didnt solve anything
ive got the stick setup now, ive looked in the network section and he was right, theres nothing, even in the my fire tv section where you can see the ip/mac/ssid etc, they all say "not connected"
ill attach pictures
Im willing to flash this somehow, or root it, install cfw anything, please help!

Try:
Select Settings > Network from the Fire TV menu, then Play/Pause on your remote, and follow the recommended steps.
If that doesn't work maybe reset the stick again.
I know one of the settings in the debloat tool turns off the ability to see new networks, resetting should have reenabled that switch.

Thanks for replying, pressing play/pause does nothing, as you can see there is nothing on the network page at all except the troubleshoot option
Factory reset doesn't work at all, doing a factory reset from the my fire tv section just makes you go back to the settings menu, using the back and right button combo does nothing either, even if you wait for the countdown to end
When he gave me the stick he had already factory reset it so there are no apps on here at all including this bloatware one you mentioned, nothing

It doesn't have to show ip address, follow the thread carefully. It involves opening up the stick, connecting it to pc (via the power cable) and shorting a resistor.
This will unlock the stick and let you flash brand new firmware. It's the only way to do it if your factory reset isn't working I'm afraid.

don't unlock your stick, use any of the method
Method 1:
reinstall the app again and turn on wifi, the wifi on the stick is disabled.
Method 2:
take out your stick, connect to your pc
wait for it boot
enter
adb devices
​if it says "unauthorized"
press "Down" on remote two times​and press "select" to authorize your pc​​when it says "device"
enter​adb shell​svc wifi enable​
if you get "killed" error then go for method 3
Unplug your stick from PC and connect to your TV.
Method 3
Install the apk on your stick, then click on "Enable"
It will also tell you if your Wifi is disabled or not.
This app can TURN ON and TURN OFF the WIFI
Here's a proof

Hi I'm trying method 2 at the moment, but if it doesn't work how do I install the WiFi enabler APK without having WiFi?

Reboot your stick (Long press "Play/Pause + Select" for few seconds)
Try deregistering, is result is same, go to developers options, turn it off and then on again.
Go to network section of the stick copy the ip address.
Then go to your pc, (make sure your Stick and PC are on same wifi network)
Enter
adb disconnect
adb connect ip:5555
Here ip is the ip address of your stick
Eg adb connect 192.168.43.123:5555

Solution for no Root and no Accessibility Service on Fire TV 4K Mantis on Version 6.2.8.1

Hi,
I recently bought a new Fire TV 4K that came with Version 6.2.8.1 out of the Box. It also has a Serial Number containing VM in it. According to some posts here this means, that it has some efuses blown and the USB Download Mode disabled in its bootrom, which makes it impossible right now to root or downgrade it.
The reason I need to downgrade is that I need to automate some tasks on the Fire TV for example with tasker. For exmaple I need the Fire TV to switch the Input at Boot automatically. It does this only when I press the home button. Automating this with tasker however requires the Accessibility Service, which Amazon has removed in current Versions of the Firmware. So the only solution is to root it or go back to older Firmwares, and both ways seem to have been blocked by AMazon right now.
Is this the latest information or are there solutions for this device to still root it?
And are there alternative ways to automate for example Home button press without root and Acessibility Service?
And which Fire Tv Stick can still be rooted right now even with the latest Firmware installed?
Any help would be appreciated.

According to this post, only versions with "VM190 or higher" have the fuse blown.
[UNLOCK][ROOT][TWRP][UNBRICK] Fire TV Stick 4K (mantis)

forum.xda-developers.com
So maybe your unit has a s/n lower then VM190.

Yeah my Serial contains *VM081* but I bought it far later than the post you mentioned. Also that post was made before Version 6.2.8.1 was released and efuses burned, which apparently does not allow downgrading anymore. And the guy who found the exploit has not posted anymore since 2019.
My understanding is that the USB Download mode being disabled and the efuses blown are two different things.
I have not yet read any comment on wether you can root a fresh out of the box device that has Version 6.2.8.1 on it.
And additionally newer devices seem to have no USB Download mode.
Is there a way to check whether my devices efuses are blown or not? And whether my device has USB Download mode before I open and short the device. RIght now I can still send back the device, but not once I have opened it. I don't wanna find out after opening the device that I can not root it.
So before I open the Fire TV, I wanna know whether it is rootable or not. Otherwise I will send it back. I wanna know wether the rooting method does also work once the device has been updated to 6.2.8.1.
ALso it would help to know wether the efuses burning only is limted to the 4K model. In that case I could get a Lite or Version 2 of the Fire TV. Unfortunately I have not found any FAQ regarding such questions.

Yes, you can short the stick, connect usb and watch in lsusb. It will show no sign of the stick if the efuse is gone.
You can also connect an USB TTL UART Adapter, while doing the shorting. Then the log shows you that the boot-process goes to halt.

The root/unlock method based on BR DL-Mode (via shorting), will not work on any 4k stick running 6.2.8.0 or later, regardless of the serial number.
The new Lite Stick, the new fTV Stick and the newest fTV 4K-Max Stick are also BR DL-Mode disabled.

So its game over for the current Fire TV Stick Models in regards to rooting right?!
This wouldn't be such a big issue if Amazon hadn't removed accessibility services, which dramatically reduces the use of a Fire Tv Stick.
I guess we will have to search for alternative routes. WHile it is probably still possible to root the device via eMMC hardware method, this is way too complex for me.
I have already a few ideas.
My plan now is to use a raspberry pi in conjunction with the Fire TV and issue the automation commands via adb from the raspberry pi.
All I need is issue the Home key at certain points. Everything else Tasker can already do without root and accessibility services.
Also Tasker contains ADB over WIFI Plugin, and only needs a one time issue of the adb tcp command after every boot. After taht you have a adb client running on the fire tv itself to do the rest for automation.
My plan is to let the raspberry issue this adb command at every boot of the fire tv and after that Tasker will be able to do the rest via adb WIFI.
I hope that works out.
For further reference and anyone else stumbling over these issues. Before buying a Fire TV, I wasn't aware of these issues, that for example Accessibility services have been removed and Rooting is impossible right now. So Right now I think the better option is to avoid any Fire TV and buy a Raspberry 4 and run Android TV on it. That way you already have root access and can do anything you want on it.

You don't need to issue TCP command. By default, wireless adb debugging is turned on in Fire TV stick.

You might already knew this that in normal Android mobile phones, with "adb tcpip 5555" command in PC, you start the wireless adb on port 5555 in phone. But when you enable ADB Debugging in Fire TV from it's settings, the wireless ADB Debugging is by default started, so you don't need to run that TCP command as the wireless debugging is already on and then Tasker will use it to get it's work done.

Yes I agree the adb is active one the Fire Tv Stick and you can connect to it via wifi on port 5555.
But tasker still does not work with the adb function.
How did you make it work?
According to this:
https://tasker.joaoapps.com/userguide/en/help/ah_adb_wifi.html
You need to run this comamnd everytime you reboot.

I am not using Tasker. But as you said above that you'll use raspberry to issue adb tcip command to the stick to turn on wireless debugging, that's not needed.
As far as I think, you'll have a profile of device boot event in Tasker and in it you'll have a ADB Wifi action which will have the button press command.
If that's the case then it should work without any issue.
In ADB WiFi action, set host to 127.0.0.1 ( Just saw that this is optional as well )
If it doesn't works let me know, I'll try installing tasker in my stick and test adb wifi in it.

How do you change volume in your volume change app without root?
Maybe I can issue the command for changing hdmi input the same way.

How do you change volume in your volume change app without root?
Maybe I can issue the command for changing hdmi input the same way.

There is no adb command to do that diretcly, but the Fire TV switches to HDMI source, if you press home button. SO I wanna issue Home key input via adb to make it switch the HDMI source to the Fire TV Stick.
"key_home": "adb shell input keyevent 3",
As far as I know you need to have root to issue CEC COmmands diretcly. Otherwiese you ahve to make a system method do that for you.

You probably bought one with a serial number of
G4N0VM081..... which is the new blown fuse version. You need to scour ebay for serial number
G070VM190..... or lower, then follow the current rooting guide. Make sure it's BRAND NEW and never been opened or else you're SOL since used sticks have probably been updated. New rootable sticks exists. I found half dozen on ebay a few months ago.

Ok so I just installed Tasker in my stick, tested adb wifi in it, it didn't worked. But I can develop an app which can execute provided adb command on every boot. It's night in my timezone, I'll develop that app tomorrow inshaallah.

That would be awesome.
Please keep the command to execute generic, as it may be useful to also execute other commands at boot. Let the user decide what command to execute.

I have to correct myself about adb wifi out of tasker not working.
ADB Wifi does work depending on the app that you are using. Local ADB shell does not work, while Remote ADB Wifi app does work.
The adb plugin for tasker does not work, but the adb wifi action from Tasker itself does work right away. In my earlier tests, other apps were just blocking adb wifi and I was confused and thought tasker's adb wifi is not working. But you have to properly close the abd wifi session with a "exit" command. Also the windows adb tool freezes and has to be killed in taskmanager. That is a source of error for testing adb on fire TV.
Also the adb wifi of tasker will not accept semicolon seperated commands. Shaikh Amaan FM's tool however does. In tasker You will have to create new task for every command and only issue one command. I don't know why, but thats the result of my troubleshooting.
Also you have to make sure that Tasker is properly bought, a trial version or a not genuine version won't work, as Tasker has signature checks implemented which silently brakes plugins without any obvious error messages.
Plugins however also do not work in Macrodroid.
So best thing is to use Remote ADB Shell app or Tasker's built in adb wifi task. Thatway you can mostly work around the fact that Fire TV is locked down, has no root and has accessibility services disabled.
So this is the solution to:
Solution for no Root and no Accessibility Service on Fire TV 4K Mantis on Version 6.2.8.1​
Thatway I'm able to make Fire TV switch input via tasker by issuing a home button press via adb.
That's the best thing you can do under these conditions that you can't have root on Fire TV right now.
