I’m assuming I can add storage in a similar fashion to the Firestick by using an external USB drive, correct?
The web os is basically the same as firetv on the stick, you are using the tvs resources. From what i understand you can use a usb to increase the storage from other members have mentioned on here on a firetv.

I just recently purchased on prime day a fire TV and I am going to the jailbreak a fire stick. This fire TV does not have in settings the “my fire TV”. Nor does it have developer options. What do I do? Thank you

Please review this for all firestick issues and guides, if the following hasn’t worked feel free to ask.
This should resolve most to all issues.
Please use our search. Its in this guide.
What make and model is your TV? You need to see if you can find “build” in your settings and click that 7 times.
It just says fire TV. On the back of the TV it shows 55 inch NF and a model number.
Not is there a “build”

I have 3 Firesticks but my 1st Fire TV and the setting screen is different than the firesticks. I followed the jailbreak guide and decided to skip the developer options because it’s not there. I tried to download the Troypoint and it stopped me.
So you bought a TV and don’t know what make or model it is? Ok give me your model number at least. I need something to search for.
just for safety id blot out that mac addy
Purchased a Fire TV on Prime Day. Tried to jailbreak it, no Icon for my Fire TV and no developer option. What do I do now?

I’m sorry, but on my Fire TV, there is not an option in Settings for Fire TV. I looked in Devices, Account, and others with no luck. Anyway you can look into this and give us other options or assistance?
Rather than pull your hair out, why not just buy a cheap Firestick or the ONN box and set that up?

That looks like an Amazon Fire TV. In the settings you should find a section titled “device”, clicking on that should open the sub categories with ADB Debugging and apps from unknown sources. You can toggle them on or off as you like. Let us know please.

Thanks for getting back with me. I looked everywhere in settings, device, and even accounts and there is nothing there for developer or debugging. I bought the fire TV so I didn’t have to have extra remotes and everything would be right there on the TV. I’m sure there’s a way to do it and the Troypoint will be able to get this done for me. Let me know what y’all think. Thank you
Go into setting, My Fire TV, About, and click on the device 5 or 6 times. You’ll see a message saying “developer options available” and it will be there where it should be.
Why? Don’t ask!!!
