How do you plan on using the Kindle? if you just want stock and want to connect to amazon, you can try updating software, if you want to use google apps, root or install a custom rom, you should try doing that first and not worry about registering.
Not having this device not sure but
It may have been rooted and stock was to reinstalled correctly, or just a software error
There is a software update 10.5.0 and should have installed automatically when connected to wifi (registered or not).
You can manually update, need a pc or mac

my first gen fire tv box, I root it by kingroot, everything works fine. but after I use super me to get super su, resatart. then the box stacks at amazon splash start screen. Anybody can give any idea how to hardware reset? help :crying:
I do not want to give you a hard time but why you guys do not read before doing it. There are few post here mentioning that boxes get bricked if you use supersu-me. Can you connect to it through adb? The only way to get it back if somehow rbox will release an unbrick image as he did for firetv 2

READ ME!
If you read the Kingroot thread on this forum, located here. You will find that the authors of Kingroot have taken exception to the author of SuperSu and anyone else who uses it in their programs to replace Kinguser, because of the claims of conflicting programs and/or malicious coding. Kingroot authors counter claim that programs like Super-Sume improperly remove Kingroot leaving orphaned files which may cause problems. But the author of Super-Sume says his program will not brick your device.
Most people have had no luck installing SuperSu on their devices after being rooted by Kingroot even though Kingroot authors claim they could co-exist on the same device, because Kingroot has added a restriction regarding SuperSu. So consequently those who have gotten SuperSu installed on their Kingroot rooted devices have ended up with problems.
Don't install random stuff via root without custom recovery! Its just as effective as a pull and pray people. You need some protection.
Just be patient!!
hope rbox will bring out some unbrick rom. is any other way to do the hardware reset. open the box and short somewhere? Please give me a hint.

There's many ways to force it into recovery, but there's not much you can do from there.
You could follow the hardware rooting instructions to get access to the flash chip, and then rewrite the system.img... but that's about it.

Same problem here. used SuperSU me and now the box is stuck on Firetv logo.. It looks like emmc soldering is the only way which is pretty scary and possibly not worth the hassle... Did you get any further with recovering?

If your bootloader isn't already unlocked and you bricked a FireTV 1, there isn't anything that can be done from a software perspective.
i was hoping to dd system.img through hardware emmc soldering. do you think this could work to revive it?

Thanks

Why return to 5.0 só fast...is more easy wait for oficial ota of 6.0.1 and do adb sideload!
I want to downgrade as well, I've found several guides, but I'm afraid I'll brick my phone.
I saw in one place that sideloading the stock 5.0 firmware from the asus website could work... would this be a valid solution? Would it be as simple as sideload with adb the stock 5.0 firmware, if I'm in the 6.0 already?

Hi, I do not speak English very well, but I'll try.
First go to the website of Asus, and download the firmware .. 184 or this link (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.147549438.850793534.1463019251) and put the external SD Card!!!
NOTE: If your bootloader is similar to the image (with the blue letters ..), you just need to step 3 of this my turorial
ht*tp://www*androidheadlines*com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/asus-zenfone-2-google-howto-1.jpg (remove "*" again^^)
1. Go to this page (https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/) and follow the steps of the second method..
1.1 Download Z00A_WW_2.20.40.184 version (https://mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw)
1.2 Download and extract FlashTools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3301263&d=1431011927)
1.3 Extract Z00A_WW_2.20.40.184_system_w_root.zip (for step 1.1) and put the "system.img" in the folder of FlashTools together with "boot.img", "droidboot.img" and "recovery.img"
2. Now follow the steps of the second method (https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/), from step 7 to 11;
3. Also I was stuck in the bootloader after this procedure... BUT, you need to download this file (the first method): http://www.mediafire.com/download/v6m7n9j0gqins9b/CWM_Zenfone_2_Intel.zip;
3.1 And follow the steps from 1 to 9 (the first method): https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/... EXCEPT: The steps include the root (you do not need the root ..)
3.2 When you are already in CWM recovery, only install the firmware 184 (of start.. of Asus) which is in the external SD Card ... and end ^^.
3.3 I recommend wipe data / factory after starting the device first time...
I have helped

Bootloop is normal as seen on the tutorial.
I think that's normal since Asus will replace their default mail app to Gmail once MM final is release. same goes for my phone, Asus Mail doesn't come preinstalled.

Make sure to take away internet connection before you reboot into the new os, so that it won't try to upgrade itself.
In OS5, disable via adb shell the updates with: #su #pm disable com.amazon.device.software.ota and also #pm disable com.amazon.tv.nimh is always good.
(pm hide doesn't block updates anymore - if you used that one OS3)

Note: Systemless root is not an option on this box due to locked bootloader, do not tell me that root is not an option, because I am rooted right now.
I rooted my Fire TV 2 (FireOS 5.2.7.1) with the hardware method using SuperSU in system mode, although whenever I open SuperSU it immediately crashes. It still comes up with root prompts and I can still accept them, but I can't actually open the app and change settings because it just instantly crashes. Is there a fix for this?
If there isn't a fix for this issue, are there any other SYSTEM MODE superusers that do the same thing as SuperSU.
(Magisk is systemless root, so it doesn't meet the criteria above.)
It's just what amaz. does with apps they don't like^^
But you can edit the supersu config file if you like, in order to access all supersu settings...
The fix is to flash the amonet zip with twrp (aka. unlock the BL), then use magisk... but I guess you know that already, isn't it!?

So an Amazon service force closes the package name eu.chainfire.supersu in an attempt to make root Unusable? If that's the case Couldn't I just edit the package name to something else, like what I did with FireStarter Launcher?

Well unless Magisk Devs release a System mode Root that can't happen, for reasons I stated above:
"Systemless root is not an option on this box due to locked bootloader"
Having TWRP doesn't mean it's an unlocked bootloader, I know because I recently tried Magisk out of desperation, the result was that It ended up being stuck on the Amazon Logo and I had to do the unbrick process again.

No, it isn't the package name. Most likely it's because an incompatible app theme (missing theme on all fireTV OS versions). If you want to know details, somewhere on xda is a guide, on how to use root/xposed together with xposed modules, as a workarround in order to open up the supersu app on fireTVs. A working theme was material dark, if I remember correct.
Idk why you state magisk isn't an option on 'this' box, since the BL unlock is out and really easy.
Anyway, have fun.

He never said or implied having twrp means you have a unlocked bl.
He (as well as I) are wondering why you haven't simply flashed Rortiz2 amonet zip (the unlock) from within your current locked twrp.
This will ultimately unlock the bl of your Sloane.
And solve your issue in minutes + enable you to flash magisk etc.

When was this "Rortiz2 amonet" released?
Lastly, since im already rooted and twrp, what do i further need to do to unlock the bootloader?

Yes you can, the boys have presented the full unlock of the Sloane Firetv 2 and Rortiz2 has headlined the thread in "Original Android TV development" section within the Amazon Firetv forum.
All you need to do is follow the OP there, download and flash the zip in current twrp.

I was told that you have to update to the latest version of FireOS and those versions are extremely broken. I can't use that unlock method unless someone finds a way to do it without updating to the latest firmware.
