Hack on Firestick and Cube? What kind of magic is this?

Maybe too late now since Amazon put a patch out to block it. Take a look at Troy’s thread here:

> Originally published at: [Amazon Patches Fire TV Exploit: What You Need to Know](https://troypoint.com/amazon-patches-fire-tv-exploit/) Amazon has patched the Fire TV exploit that allowed custom launchers and blocking updates. A few days ago, I showed you how to take advantage of a major Fire TV exploit that allowed custom launchers, blocked updates, and gave users control over their devices. And just like I predicted, Amazon moved quickly to shut this…

There was an Am8 in the sellers section on here. Not sure if it is still there.

I’m ambivalent at the very least . I have had my eyes opened in the last year by this groups’ postings and sharing. I would welcome a system that works out of the box, but that implies teaming with a streaming service that thinks like I do. I can’t believe that “informed customization” will not always be a part of our experience. Ad Astra Per Aspera

Thanks for your insight @ARCHIE2…  
I, for one, enjoy the occasional complexities of a “Hand Configured” setup. It doesnt always have to be hard. I just take my time and eventually end up at the self-created lofty heights of success! Afferte Astra ad Gradum Meum

SlimBOXtv offers 3rd party firmware for many Android TV Boxes. It specializes in systems that come with Amlogic CPUs but there’s also support for a few Allwinner chips as well. In this tutorial we will be focusing on how to install SlimBOXtv on Android TV Boxes that come with Amlogic processors. Why would you want…

I found this topic to be very interesting and have filed it away for future possible use. But apparently it doesn’t do what I had really hoped it would. What I really would like to see is a firmware file or a box that is truly independent. That is to say something that Amazon or Google or anybody else would be unable to control and or tell us what apps we are allowed to have. To me that is total BS. If we buy a box and spend good money what right does any manufacturer or developer have in modifying our boxes after the sale?

Add this to my wanna-do list for sure. I have a few boxes worthy of being bricked.

For those who absolutely must have Android TV O/S on their AOSP devices, this may be an ok solution. Personally, I would just get an Android TV device to begin with rather than go thru this process, which can be risky if a mistake or omission is made. I happen to like AOSP better, especially with Projectivy and other excellent Home Screen launchers that are out there that simplify things without installing a new O/S.

Hello, I don’t see anything compatible on the SlimBOXtv site for that one.

Your box comes with an Allwinner CPU which is H6 quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 and when I plug that into their site I get the following which isn’t your device.

I agree with this comment as well. I would say that you would only want to do this with Android TV Boxes that you already have. I’ve reviewed a ton of these older AOSP boxes and have already installed this on about 10 of them and it makes a HUGE difference.
