The easiest way is to download the ISO with wget:

This ISO contains all the necessary applications to connect to the Fire Tv Stick though USB in order to launch the exploit. Download patched kernel ISOĭownload the patched Linux kernel image from. Remember to be careful and not use sharp items or too much force since that could damage the caps and possibly brick the device. Take a small piece of aluminum foil and fold it loosely until you have a semi-flat skinny stick you can place underneath the part covering and fold it up so it remains in makes contact with the housing and remains in place. These points should be connected to the metal housing: Here’s a close up image of the points on the board, showing without any of the metal housing: These are the points we are trying to short in order to unlock the bootloader. This is part is a little tricky because the capacitors we need to link are really small. The short will put the bootrom in download mode allowing us to flash a custom image. We need to create a short in order to unlock the bootloader. The heat shield is held on by two sticky pads and should come off with little effort. The heat shield in on the side without the two square blocky antennas at the end. Use a small flathead screwdriver (a plastic one is preferable) or anything that you can slide underneath to unstick it from the base. The next part is to remove the heat shield which is blocking the small capacitors we need access to. There’s multiple connecting joints that should pop open without much effort. Opening the case is pretty simple use a tool like a small flathead screwdriver or pry opening tool (like this one) and place it in between the crevice to open it. It’s important to not that you should do this on stick that has been setup already with an amazon account, since I’ve read that it may not be possible to set it up correctly after it’s rooted.Īlso make sure to enable USB debugging by going into the Fire TV Stick: Settings -> My Fire TV -> Developer options -> turn ON for ADB debugging and turn ON for Apps from Unknown Sources Open Fire TV Stick case The sequence of steps we’ll be taking are the following:

#AMAZON FIRE STICK SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION INSTALL#

We install apps or move existing apps into the external storage to free up internal memory which should make the Fire TV Stick a bit more responsive. The Fire TV Stick has only has 8GB of internal storage which less than 5GB are actually available for use. The OTG cable is for connecting external storage to the Fire TV Stick in order to expand it’s internal storage.

We’ll be connecting the points with a small piece of aluminum foil. The flathead screwdriver will be used to open up the Fire TV Stick to get access to the small capacitors on the board that we need to short circuit to unlock the bootloader. We need to make a slight hardware change to unlock the bootloader on the Fire TV Stick.

We’re going to use Linux to burn a patched Linux kernel ISO into the USB drive which will be used to boot from and run the exploit on the Fire TV Stick. We’ll need the following items for this tutorial: We’ll only be going over the rooting process and optionally installing Arch Linux on Termux towards the end of this post.

Unlocking the Fire TV Stick with root access allows us to install anything we want on it and circumvent the limitations of the stock operating system. Rooting the stick is possible thanks to an exploit uncovered by user xyz on the XDA forums and user k4y0z who created a nice package for executing the exploit. This tutorial will walk you through the high-level process of rooting an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K (3rd generation of Fire TV Stick, released in 2017).
