then it says installation aborted. ... I’ve been following the Fire TV & Fire TV Stick Rooting Starters Guide and all subsequent shoot off guides from there. I’ll put up a guide later today for you and everyone else.I’ve blocked updates at my router level. Not a big deal, since the rom installs fine, but wanted to just see if anyone else saw that issue? Therefore I’m stuck with a custom rom with no ability to delete and restore to factory or to unblock internally, and, I cannot run normal updates because the unit is blocking updates.

It now is on the latest ROM and it says its no longer rooted.I still can reboot into CWM…what should I do?

Can you offer any help?

Here is the log:adb push C:\full\path\to\file\bueller-51.1.3.0_513011520-rooted.zip /sdcard/Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window) It showed listed under the apps directory still but I tried using the M5checksum and it didn’t work so I re-installed it.
I had a fire tv all rooted with Kodi installed as well as the fix for the usb being used for storage. Just trying to avoid a brick! Prior to flashing one of the pre-rooted custom roms, do you need to wipe data and cache?My previous experience with rooting and flashing roms tells me that I should, but it doesn’t seem to be a requirement with your instructions.I successfully updated to the latest ROM without issue using your comprehensive guide, but would like to know.By wiping data and cache, I mean in Clockwork Mod recovery.Thanks for your great contribution to the FireTV community.

I use my FTV mainly for Kodi, so I play all of my music within Kodi. Please help this poor guy. ADB transfers are very slow.all runs fine except I can not enter the usb drive.I just reinstalled the .zip 51.1.4.0_514006420 from recovery but saw there is a lot of junk left + the same problem with the usb drive.how can I safely wipe to a totally clean 51.1.4.0_514006420 ?Thanks as always for the awesome write-ups and guides.There are a lot of comments here, so I didn’t read them all.

I went to amazon.com prime manage devices under my music account and it does not list my Fire TV as a device to authorize. I can reboot using keyboard ctrl+alt+del. Then rename the file to rom.zip I had the same issue as the file renamed to rom.zip.bin until I figured this out.

Thanks again for your commentCan I use any USB keyboard (non wireless) for Step 4 above? What happens after the keyboard is installed? I’ve added one final step to the guide with instructions to delete the ROM file.Hey Elias I love your simulcasts you have devoted a lot of time into these guides for information purposes as well as the benefits of rooting these devices. Anyone else got their Music files working on this firmware version? Missed the fact I had to select 0 after /sdcard/ within Clockwork Mod :(Thanks for the great tutorial, Finally I’ve got to my Fire tv running with latest custom ROM 51.1.6.3_516012020Heads up for others, the time to send a file can be as much more more than 10 minutes if you are doing it over wifi. In order to install a custom ROM you need to first install ClockworkMod. Thus, no more access to cwm, tr, su. The problem is not the guide, but rather the operator. I notice that for me, on CWM 6.0.5.1.4a, when I install a new rom, the “stomach” of the little android guy (where that weird 3-d blue wireframe shape spins) is misaligned. There are a lot of guides and I don’t from where to start…Install custom recovery (CWM), install boot loader menu. To use that method, you have to re-install the stock recovery image using this guide: Thanks for these guides and even the support! You’ll need to install TWRP recovery when making the jump to os5 roms (the newer os).Can someone help me please? I am wrong. Otherwise, those using rbox’s Fire TV Mods to remove unwated menu items or using XBMC Launcher will lose that functionalitySO I just tried this to get to the newest custom rom from the first one that used clockwork mod and now my fire tv’s stuck on the home logo. Just bought Amazon Fire TV from Tesco. And the installed towelrootv1 apk shows V1 in manage all apps menu…but when launched it says towelroot v3!!! For the Fire TV 2, the new ROM is using the 5.2.4.2 (Build 574263120) software version.

just want to go to rbox rom as fresh setup without any garbage that i installed on my AFTV.Normally on a phone i format all drives including system before installing any custom rom. I was successful in rooting my new Fire TV, then upgraded it to custom ROM 51.1.4.0_514006420, and then to the latest custom ROM 51.1.4.1_514013920… The problem I have is the Music screen just gives me a message saying “Please visit amazon.com/cloudplayer to create an Amazon Music Library Account.” I did that but for some reason the Fire TV isn’t finding it or linking it to my account. I didn’t think these app(s) + pre rooted 51.1.4.0_514006420 updated files took 2gb. I’m not sure if it defaulted to the right directory, but once you see the file click and “hold” it, which makes it selected, then hit delete. There is a way to control ClockworkMod remotely (over ADB from a computer). Anyone have an idea on what I should do to get SU back?New issue, I’ve updated and downgraded many times. I’ve added a little to the step to clarify.Thanks. I know there is Fired TV but it isn’t a permanent solution. Booted in kernel by default and Launch recovery mode, everything as you stated.However, now when i go to SuperSU i no longer the see option sfds all i see is Launch Application (Force stop, clear data, clear cache). Until now it served me well. Can this be done without proior rooting of the AFTV?No, sorry. When clicking on make it rain it says “this phone isn’t supported”. How did I lose the root? Should I be doing it a different way?Does the MUSIC screen actually work for any of you on the latest custom ROM?
