DoctorWhookah, Isn’t jailbreaking an iOS term and Android uses the term rooting?
nicknonya, jailbreaking
transitive verb
to remove built-in limitations from (an electronic device, such as a cell phone)
- Merriam Webster
not really it would seem
Auli, Sure but the general use for android is rooting and jailbreaking is used for iOS.
DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited ) You cannot. Jailbreak a fire stick
You side load applications to it and enable unknown sources.
Really wish those stupid YouTubers would stop saying that.
And no I’m not emailing you
mister_newbie, That’s not entirely true. If you have a really old firestick on a really old firmware in a drawer somewhere, there was a way to flash a custom Android build on them way back. That’s long been patched out, though.
DoucheBagMcSwag, True
My first fire tv i rooted and flashed a custom ROM on it
these idiots though believe jAilBrEAK is fucking installing Kodi and asking unofficial repos in the app
mister_newbie, Most YouTubers aren’t actually tech literate?! Say it ain’t so! /s
Tenkard, I rooted my fire stick with a piece of aluminum, you had to open it and bridge two points on its board to make a reserved memory area writable, and then run a script to root it. Have no idea about new models/firmware but XDA developers is a click away. It was the 4k model at the end of 2019, I think it’s just one or two generation behind the current 4k stick
mister_newbie, No kidding? Didn’t think it was possible anymore. I have that exact model, gotta look into it – the homescreen ads drive me insane (and wifey won’t let me just buy a Shield).

But no idea about the latest firmware support
