Opening Up And Rooting A 2nd Gen Fire TV Stick

hi there!
saw your video and thought i might get some help here.
bought from a flea shop one firestick 2nd gen, wich is stuck on amazon logo boot screen. so no wifi name and pass known.
also bought a remote control for it elsewhere, that isn't paired with the stick yet. it isn't pairing it the booting screen logo when holding home button pressed (as i red somewhere), so i can't try reseting it from the remote.

i'm not particulary interested in rooting/flashing new roms, etc, i'm just looking for the easiest way to make it work. maybe staying on stock software, no magisk and other things, if is easier this way. wich steps from the video should i follow for that and where to stop?
thanks a lot!

i did this about a month ago just because of how stupid it sounded, like i literally taped a piece of solder to an HDMI port in order to do this But now i have stock android on a firestick so thats cool

How could you stream the screen to the desktop at the end of the video?

I have a tata sky binge stick with same model number as yours … Will it work ? The problem is to open any app you need to subscribe to tata binge … I can install apps but cannot open them … Anyway to make the stick useful ?

Can you give a custom rom for this fire TV stick ?

When I do the fastboot step it says waiting for device tried multiple times still same… Please help, thank you!(edit :- i tried keeping the short and press enter when it asked to remove and now it doesnt give any hdmi output in middle of the bootrom step it says rpmb looks broken but it still does flash )

cool

I am feeling sad because i have amazon fire tv plus tata binge addition in india

bro what do you mean by any linux distro and arch linux, i am new to linux, always used windows and can i do it in windows 10?

Hi. I recovered a fire stick 4k max blocked by amazon cause it was lost on shipping.
Do you think i can deblock it by rooting ? Thx

what theme are you using if you done mind me asking .

Didn’t work for me installed Linux and everything and I circuited clk but nothing happens the file is just running nothing is popping up is it because I updated my fire stick to the latest update?

Please make an details videos on this i did understand anything

Just as a note to anyone here – I did a check of the scripts being ran as sudo. From what I can see, there is nothing malicious going on for your Linux host, so its deemed safe.

Ps, great write up. Really well explained and got it first time. I managed to load self signed CA cert too, so proxying traffic is also possible.

can I get some help with your guide? i'm kinda new to the whole thing, but very much determined to get this done.

So I can control the firestick without the remote using a keyboard and mouse?

Bro really thank you so much, it worked :DDDDDDDDD, saved my firestick btw.

Hey.. My fire stick not booting up. Will this support rooting and will be fixed?

Hi, I want some help, I broke the CLK resistor off while trying this, what to do

So I'm trying to short the CLK and GND and I'm sure I'm on the resistor with my wire (also tried a safety pin) but it just stays on waiting for bootrom. I even used the zoom on my phone to make sure im solidly on the resistor. And i know im making a connection because when i remove the short and plug in the USB without it i get the "serial protocol mismatch" error. When I'm shorting it though, nothing. I've been trying for hours with no success. I followed all instructions except I wasn't able to install the Universe repository. Im not sure if that's even necessary. I'm attempting this on Raspberry Pi OS which is based on Debian. Same model firestick. Using Amonet-tank-v1.2.2. Firestick is on version 5.2.9.5.

My original problem was the firestick wasn't loading any apps and would freeze up/crash after a few minutes. Then the remote stopped working. I could re-pair it with an OTG cable and keyboard but it would stop working again after a restart or crash. Apps couldn't be uninstalled. Update would come back with an error. Factory reset would fail and bring up Android Recovery 3e. I think this happened after an update but can't be certain. Perhaps the memory has just gone corrupt? But the firestick will boot and show login info and apps although basically nothing is accessable. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx.

Hi Mate, I have a Kali Linux VM so will these steps work on it? And can i flash on it?
My firestick get’s stuck on Logo screen doesn’t proceed ahead.

Hi mate! Do you reckon this will work on FireStick 4K Max?
I had to factory reset mine and now is stuck on initial setup on the last stage for getting the update!
I wonder if I can revive the stick with this method.

Got it first shot by myself and one handed ha
