The Amazon Fire TV 2 has been rooted for several months now, but the procedure has been difficult and risky for some to follow. Now that rbox has released custom recovery and a pre-rooted ROM for the Fire TV 2, rooting the device is much easier and safer. Here is my guide on how to root the Fire TV 2 using a Windows PC.

After step 3, you can only boot into recovery if you have the USB Drive or MicroSD card inserted into the Fire TV. The ROM you install in step 4 includes TWRP custom recovery and is when it gets fully installed onto the Fire TV.

The process is very similar for Mac. I plan to update the guide with Mac specific instructions at some point, but until then, you just need to get your drivers squared away and use install_firetv2_recovery.sh instead of install_firetv2_recovery.bat

after doing all steps and installing TWRP. I clicked on reboot and ft keeps rebooting to the boot menu. if I click on normal it reboot and goes back to the boot menu and if I click TWRP Im able to go into it. but it will not boot to the regular amazon dashboard. can someone please help.

Let it keep working for an hour or so. It could just be really slow due to a poor microsd card. If you decide to give up, just restart the Fire TV, enter TWRP recovery with the boot menu, and start installing the ROM again. Every time you install a ROM it wipes out what is currently on the device, so if the previous attempt corrupted the OS, it will be completely formatted and freshly installed.

daffung. I got my device into the same state (blinking white light, no hdmi image). Did you ever get yours fixed?I have been working with the unbrick image, trying combinations of things. So far nothing has worked.

sorry install usb drivers from fastboot and adb, connect USB.enter the directory that you installed adbfrom the command prompt typefiles\adb.exe wait-for-device && files\adb.exe remountfiles\adb.exe reboot bootloaderIf you know the location of the recovery image on your device type:files\fastboot.exe boot (RecoverImageyPath)\Recovery.imgand your recovery image should then start to restore your device!

Same problem with the double blurry screen. You cant get to any of the menus because you cant see what you are doing. Is there any way to revert back to before step 3 to get the box back to normal boot into Fire tv os?

I did note that at when i initially connected the Fire TV to my laptop, the laptop found the Fire TV and pre-empted to install the required drivers (step 2.4) windows 10 installed some sort of mobile phone driver? Not sure this has anything to do with the problem, but just thought it maybe useful.

i done it manually using this guide, its the only way i could get the drivers to install, they failed every other way i attempted. -to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-windows-8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

We all seem to be stuck in the same situation. I have also tried it on Win7 with no luck. I have read all the great information provided here but with no resolution. I just wanted to see if you have tried anything new that has worked.

I have a question regarding connecting A to A cable from fire tv to computer. I understandthat when connecting I should receive a message that states installing drivers. I neverreceive that message. I am running windows 10 and instead it asks me what I want to do withthis device. Does that mean that drivers are already installed and recognized if no driverinstallation is prompted? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also tried it a second timeto recheck if it would be prompted to install drivers and it did not.

I was stuck on the waiting for preloader part. i fixed it by going in to device manager(with fire tv on and usb lead connected to fire tv and laptop),uninstalling the fire tv driver listed at the bottom under usb. then switched off fire tv,unplugged usb lead. plugged the usb lead in,switched on fire tv and let it reinstall the driver. Then ran the bat file and it worked first time

I would prefer to have TWRP check for me since it seems to have that ability. Sad to see this option is being ignored in this guide after all the problems people have had in the past with corrupt files.

Loaded the latest rooted recovery and TWRP on there successfully (i see it output Installing SuperSu) and can connect via adb but when i try and connect as su, i dont get the prompt on the screen to grant access. I had 5.0.5 on there and put the rooted 5.0.5. Tried over wifi. Will try hardwired to see if that makes any difference. Any other ideas as to why i wouldnt get the supersu prompt? su just sits there and doesnt output anything in the terminal.

The only reason I rooted my AFTV2 with rbox (thanks for that) was to get the ability of downloading movies and tv episodes from kodi for later viewing. Currently, my unrooted AFTV1 can do this but my rooted AFTV2 can not. So I am stuck with downloading to the thumb drive on my AFT1 and walking the thumb drive to my AFTV2. This works but!!?? How can I get Kodi on my AFTV2 to use the thumb drive like my AFTV1?

Thanks for this, after using the guide posted on this site which of course was a major fail, I followed your guide except i adapted it for windows. It finally seems to be working now. (patching for the last hour..) :)

Open the install_firetv2_recovery.sh file with TextEdit. Copy and paste all the text with the below code. Basically it has two lines added that tell you to unplug the USB cable, plug it back in and then press enter. There seems to be an issue with OS X El Capitan but this seems to allow it to work.

After the 4th attempt, I did some troubleshooting and realized that the AFTV was not recognizing my USB drive. So if you have the same problem, just use a different thumb drive or better yet, a microSD.

Windows 7 Pro 32x / AFTV2 5.0.5.1 I am stuck on Waiting for preloader. In device manager, I see, under other devices, 4 Android and 1 fastboot devices. Not matter what I try, I cannot get past the Waiting for preloader.

Thank you for writing this guide and posting the files! While I use Linux, I did find this guide to be most helpful. For those few folks that I have seen asking about Linux instructions, I found some on the xdadevelopers forums at the following url:

I successfully rooted a mid-June purchased FTV2 that came directly from Amazon.com with 5.0.4. I carefully did each & every step of the guides down to the dot. In the above guide I used a Win7 64bit pc to install MTK USB drivers & upload the TWRP recovery and finally rooted with rbox rom 5.0.5 using a microSD card.I later installed xposed, hdx module, and firestarter 3.2.2, root checker,google playstore, and blocked updates.

In your guide you mention to download the latest sloane (pre-rooted stock images), which would be sloane-5.2.1.0-rooted_r2.rar file. I was wondering do I download this file or do I download the latest 5.0.5.1 file for my AFTV?

I have all the files ready and when I connect the Fire TV 2 to my Windows 7 (64-bit) machine the Fire TV doesnt get installed or detected by Windows 7. Im stuck on the waiting for preloader screen. I have checked Device Manager and the device isnt listed despite having the MediaTek drivers installed as per the instructions above. I have uninstalled the drivers, tried the 64bit and other drivers under the Win7 folder but nothing works.

All steps have been followed properly. I have also tried to different USB A cables, same results. This has been tested and tried on multiple USB ports on the machine and two different Windows 7 computers.

same here . fire tv 2 stuck at amazon logo. i am able to use remote keys to reset it but it comes back to the same amazon white logo. using this method the win10 1809 loads the drivers automatically. hanshake is fine , but gets stuck in reading 000000200 0%

Aside: ADB reveals my current device properties include:[ro.build.version.fireos]: [5.2.4.1][ro.build.version.name]: [Fire OS 5.2.4.1 (573210520)][ro.build.version.number]: [573210520][ro.build.version.release]: [5.1.1][ro.build.version.security_patch]: [2016-10-05]

Hi, for all interested in Sloane Firetv 2.The device has now been fully unlocked thanks to K4y0z, retyre, Rortiz2, Sus_i, xyz and the rest of the firetv developers at xda.Head over to the forum unlock, root, unbrick twrp firetv 2 Sloane @xda for instructions

After I followed this steps (I don't know where I went wrong, I must be somewhere) )when I power on my phone it shows two messages in the botom of the screen and last about 20 seconds and the it powers off.

When i go to hardware manager, i can only see Mediatek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android) (COM 5) when i select "show hidden devices". When i select Mediatek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android) (COM 5) it says: Device not connected or no connection.

make sure you have the vcom drivers instaled properly, take the battery out of your phone go to device manager on your pc put your fingers on power and volume up plug in your usb cable after a few seconds you'll see preloader vcom flash on your screen ,you have to click on it quickly or it dissapears then insert the drivers and thats it .If your on windows 8 or 8.1 the windows 7 drivers work but you have to disable the didgital signatures first just start up your pc in advanced mode and dissable the signatures and restart your pc when you insert the drivers a warning will come up ignore it you'll okay and thats it ready to use flash tools .

I wanted to flash the ROM as some of the ROM files got corrupted. However I have downloaded the necessary files as mentioned in your site, and the problem is about installing the drivers. I have checked the comps Device manager there it doens not show any of the drives of VOM or ADB drivers or SP drivers, even tired with show hidden devies, but none, however when the phone is in ON it shows as usual in my comp all the HDD etc. So when I try to flash the ROM it does'nt detect or show the device as connected. Therefore when clicking download F9 it does nothing?
