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.

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.
Obsolete.
Hey. Sorry, I do not understand what you wanna tell us?
he is asking if the new release OCT fire TV can be rooted. forum does not have any pinned guides to do so.
Root is possible, but no one has done it yet here....

Take a look at this posting, you see a picture with a resistor marked as 'cmd?' that works fine for shorting, as it's probably the clk line. Tested by @Michajin and others, including me
It's the third one of the row, the one next to the shield (not the one under the shield).

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.

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
