Just wanna make sure before attempting - Sony Tablet S

Sony Tablet S 3.2.1 (release2) Kernal Version: 2.6.3.6 [email protected] #1 Build number THMASOO124OOO can i root this? if so can you point me to the right direction? not tell me how to do it but where i can find a tutorial because i don't wanna mess it up you know thanks much appreciated

hey
as far as I know, only build #10 devices are not root able
if you want to root your tablet, enable USB-Debugging in your options,
after you have done that, go to this post, install the usb drivers, if you want to test if adb is working, start the batch file, which is located in the folder of the drivers, than type in the batch file, "adb devices", without" ", if it found devices, proceed to the next step
got to this post, download the AoI tool by condi, extract the tool, start the tool
type in "1" than press enter, wait till it's finished, exit.
congrats your tablet is rooted
I would recommend you, to also install the rescue-backdoor.
I hope that I could help you with my confusing tutorial
cheers

k i understand all this but that last part when you said install resuce backdoor, do you mean after i rooted? correct? awesome deal mane i appreciate your time and effort
Update: also i googled this but i dont' quite understand the concept of rooting, i know its admin previlages but does that mean i could run apps that aren't for the tablet S in market like say ORDER AND CHOAS MMO ? ? ?

yes u can only do install rescue backdoor after the tab is rooted.
rooting in android means gaining root access. Market aka PlayShop is a place where all androids apps/games are hosted. Weather u can play on Sony Tab or other android devices are purely base on the Android version (eg: 2.3.5(GB), 3.2.1(HC), 4.0(ICS) ).
if u ever come across apps like Titanium Backup, CPU Tuner... u will need root previlages to run it because it is meddling with the Android system settings which default the tab is mainly run as a normal user. Also, with rooted android devices, u can change the wifi binary to support adhoc wifi which again, by default it is not enabled. It seems that ICS does support it thou base on the adhoc wifi functions i see.
hope this info gives u a better picture about android rooting. for apple devices u jailbreak to install free apps or freely distributed IPA files.

Ok, now i have it all downloaded, but when i open androidcentral.exe, it doesnt show my serial number
You might want to read this through too. It will help you root your device but rooting doesn't automatically allow you to install non market apps. You still have to mess around with the settings.db file on your phone which can cause undesired results if you do it the wrong way. Safest bet is just to install the android sdk and install non market apps via adb. Xperiax10iuser has a nice little guide called "ADB for Noobs" you can reference.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790505
Also, the Sideloadwonder machine can work but a lot of at&t x10a users including myself had trouble with having the device recognized. If it worked great, but if not, I got mine to finally recognize by installing the flash drivers from SEUS update service. Install it on your computer, follow the step by step guide to updating software, computer will then install the drivers and you can update your phone if you would like. There should be 133mb upgrade that you can do. I don't know what's in the new update though. Have fun and good luck!

[Q] Rooting T-01D/ F-05D

Greeting,
It was heard that rooting T-01D are similar as F-05D.
I found a website regarding rooting F-05D, but I dont read Japanese, just want to know if anyone have tried the enclosed method to root T-01D?
or could anybody do the translation, since the terms become quite strange after using the online translators
The following link is ref. of rooting F-05D:
ttp://ayati.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2012/01/f-05droot-1d0b.html
(should be "http" rather than "ttp")
The source code of T-01D have been provided also, but I have no idea how to use it and root the machine:
ttp://spf.fmworld.net/oss/t-01d/data/download.html
(should be "http" rather than "ttp")
Thank you very much in advance?
Update of 4/4
the following t-01d rooting procedures is provided by Magimaster
Hello.
I am sending this pm regarding the translation for flashing the Fujitsu f-05d sold by Docomo in Japan. I cannot reply in the development section due to my low post count.
My phone is an f-05d. I do not have a t-01d but, according to the original rooting guide for the f-05d, the users are reporting success in rooting the t-01d as well.
I will not really translate for you. Rather, I will explain what I did to root my f-05d.
Here is a rough summary of the steps I followed:
For starters, you need to make sure that adb recognizes your phone when connected to the PC via USB. This means that you need to install the Android SDK and the USB driver for your t-01d by Fujitsu.
I had trouble getting adb to recognize my phone, as Window$ insisted in recognizing it as an USB drive. What I did, among other things, was:
In the phone settings, go to Applications > Development and check USB Debigging and Stay awake.
Install the Google USB Driver package, in the extras section of the Android SDK Manager.
With the phone connected to the PC, go to Window$ device manager > Universal Serial Bus Controllers and uninstall (use the delete key from your the keyboard) every mass storage device that appeared when my phone was connected. Disconnect and reconnect the usb cable.
Only until I did this final step was my phone recognized and listed as Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface in the device manager. If your device is not recognized, you just cannot continue. Look for help about this, or else you cannot move on with this method of rooting.
Confirm that your phone is recognized as Android Phone > Android Composite ADB Interface in the Window$ device manager. Do not continue until it is.
From the Android SDK manager, install the package android sdk platform-tools.
You need download F05Droot.zip from the original blog page your linked before. I will not link to the file directly, but you should have no problem finding it. Extract the files within into the program directory \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools (this is my path).
You need to download a replacement for the file lsm_disabler.ko that is inside the F05Droot.zip. Get it from here and extract it an replace the one inside the platform-tools directory.
By the way, this platform-tools directory is the one that has the adb executable file. Just a heads up.
You need to download su. I cannot tell you where to get it. I just do not know where I got mine from, but was easy so go for it When you have it, extract it and put it in the platform-tools directory.
Confirm that the platform-tools directory includes these files:
Code:
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
su
lsm_disabler.ko
f05dsu.bat
There will be more, but these are the ones needed for this to work.
Now, get ready to root. Connect your phone to the PC.
Go to your phone settings > setting my body > step/activity counter app > pedometer use and confirm it is checked on.
In the platform-tools directory, look for f05dsu.bat and run it. A DOS window will open. This is the funny part. Unless you are doing this from a Japanese version of Window$, or from a Window$ with Japanese locale active, you will see a lot of strange symbols instead of Japanese characters... which would be the same for almost anyone anyway Regardless, you will see a prompt to Press any key to continue . . .. At this point, you do not need to do anything on your phone, other than visually checking that the check mark on the pedometer is set.
On the DOS window press any key, your will see more garbage and another prompt to press any key. This is the important part. See if you can find among all those symbols this pattern: OFF/ON. If you do see it, it means we are on track.
Now that you were able to see the OFF/ON, go to your phone and uncheck the pedometer (OFF) and check it again (ON).
In the DOS window, press any key. Your phone will reboot. The message in the DOS window says that you must wait for the phone to boot up and for Window$ to recognize your usb connection to the phone.
When/if your phone is recognized by Window$, go to the DOS window and press any key.
Again, press any key and your phone will reboot.
The DOS window has a message indicating that you must now install superuser and busybox. When your phone reboots, go to the android market and install from there when you have the time.
You can now close the DOS window because, unless there was any error, you are now rooted, my friend
From the market, install a terminal, or an app that includes a terminal. I use Rom Toolbox because it has a terminal and scripts to mount the /system as rw.
Open whatever terminal you chose and, at the $ prompt type su
If new prompt is #, type soff
You will need to run these commands every time before trying to mount /system as rw.
That is all. I hope you can root your phone.
Just a petition, post this message in the forums, as it may help others who have similar difficulties. It sure could have helped me if someone had done before me.
Have a nice one and please forgive my English.

update 15/4
On 13/4 finally i got my phone rooted
I have to run f05droot.bat instead of f05dsu.bat
After I have run the f05dsu.bat, for the steps, no error popout.
then I open the terminal type su, it reply me "permission denied".
I know it is not successful, after several run, the situation still the same.
after that have checked the contents of f05droot.bat and f05dsu.bat.
They are very similar but the f05droot.bat will push the superuser and busybox into the device at the same time.
(so I added those files in the directory \Android\android-sdk\platform-tools )
Therefore, i tried that and its works finally.
I feel really exciting at that moment.
I hope this post can help they T-01d user to root the phone.
personally I really like this phone ^~^
the su file is also important
Anyone try it? Does it work?
I have got the source code from its web
But I dont know how to use that and lead me to root the machine

If you have time, can you please post a mini review of the device? I wanted to buy one too and I'm quite excited reading your review!
Thanks and more power!
Here is the mini review
Screen color is perfect except black and accurate. Speed is good in comparing with SGS2. Battery life is similar to SGS2. Form factor is better than SGS2. Camera is outstanding, thanks to the 1.3MP camera. Waterproofing design is what I like. The bad is upgrading is only possible in Japan. Digital TV is useless. Sound level is a bit low.
personally i like this phone very much especially the outlook.
my personal review is the following:
1. same as above the screen is perfect
2. the camera is also excellent
3. while you have a phone call, it change mode automatically depends on the environment
4. if i switch off all the data things, this phone can stand more than one day
(so i wont blame the battery, because I think we use too many network related stuffs)
5. i have to admit that the firmware is not quite stable (fortunately the phone can be upgrade to 4.0 after july)
for the rooting process, it seems like someone has success:
(i think that is temp root)
search "T-01D 軟解, tofu-keitai" in google (that is chinese unfortunately)

hi HaoyuWen,
i have followed the steps, when i type su in the terminal simulator, it comes out segmentation fault su, do you have any idea.
I use titanium backup to check and it said my t-01d is not rooted.
for the pedometer on/off things, do i need to press the home key and go back to the pedometer to do the switch?
Thank you very much in advance

I think I brick my T-01D. Don' know why, I do exactly the same what I have been told here... Now It ends up infinite boot loop
Anybody help me please?
Hey there everyone, sadly this guide isn't working for me. Everything in the guide goes smoothly and I do exactly what is listed but after my phone reboots the final time I still have no root access. I run f05droot.bat instead of f05dsu.bat like the user said but to no avail, I even ran f05dsu.bat and still nothing.
Anyone else have trouble? Maybe it is because I am on a certain FW? I am on 2.3.5
Baseband Version C_L1_M23
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1
and Build number is V43R41C
Just wondering as I really want root to disable all of these RAM-hogging default applications.
Bump? Anyone?
As far as I know, this rooting method cannot be done on FW V43R41C.

Aw Thanks for the notice, of course it's my firmware. Any idea about ICS? It was supposed to come out in July but yeah..
I don't know about ICS for t-01d. My sc-01d has been already upgraded to ICS, the performance is improved a lot. sh-01d also gets ICS today.

I see, I read about the T-01D (among many others) getting updated from articles like this: http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/e.../docomo-update-ics-4-0-18-models-3662812.html
I'm sure the T-01D would perform pretty awesome and maybe pre-installed software would not be as big a deal as it is now. Maybe since your SH-01D is getting updated, T-01D isn't far behind. The only thing I have to see is if I can update out of Japan.
I don't have sh-01d but galaxy tab 10.1 sc-01d instead. My t-01d also upgraded to V43R41C last month during visiting Japan. Upgrade of t-01d may not be possible outside Japan as Software Update cannot be executed without docomo sim and network.

Tried and failed.
There's a discussion on a Japanese BBS that I think is onto something. Unfortunately there's a stupid rule here that means I can't post a link to it. The page title is '【ROM焼き】docomo AQUOS PHONE ZETA SH-02E root1' and it should be the top result on Google for 'sh-02e root'. The fun starts at post 75.
If we can just get ROOT and Custom Recovery on this device - it simply becomes the most powerful and advanced communicator in the world.. However no root - no life..
Two things:
Any luck with a custom recovery yet?
And can anyone dump the kernel and stock rom?
Happy to give it a crack...

Arrgh, this is so frustrating. You look on the 2ch thread and you can see they've done it. Temp root, MIYABI permanent root, they've done it all. The instructions aren't too hard to follow but I cannot for the life of me find the password (キーワード) required to download the files from axfc.net. If I had those files I could root the phone and post a guide here in English. For goodness sake it's staring me right there in the face and there's not a thing I can do about it. And of course because this is XDA, I can't even post you a link to the thread. It's the same thread title as earlier. You want to start from post 542 onwards, if you want a try yourself.

yes , please guide me how to root the phone permantly , thanks a lot !!
OK I've made some progress. I've got a temporary root, and am three hex numbers away from a full root. You'll need
The Sharp USB drivers, that are on Sharp's developer site.
ADB, as usual
The guide itself, which I can't like to. Post 672 on the 2ch thread.
The extra files, likewise. Post 680.
.
It's well written and pretty straightforward. Only minimal use of Google Translate will be necessary.
In the guide you'll find three lines of the form
Code:
./acdbwritevalue <address> <value>
where <address> and <value> are hexadecimal numbers.
The problem is that the guide is written for build number 01.00.05, the latest one. Unfortunetely I'm stuck on 01.00.03, so while the <value> numbers are the same, the <address> numbers are differrent, and I need to find the right ones. If you're on 01.00.05 feel free to go through the guide and share your results. Alternatively, if you know how to force the phone to update without being in Japan on Docomo, please share that too.

Thanks a lot. Luckily I came to Japan for Vacation and was able to find someone else to lend me a Usim card to update. DoCoMo are worse than Motorola, Apple and ATT when it comes to restricting your phone. Hell, I can't even use the native FM function without DoCoMo. How can Sharp expect to come out of the hole of bankruptcy when doing this sort of business? Look at the crappy Samsung company. Awful phones that everyone buys because they decided to be "untied" to companies at the beginning and for that reason they owned the market.
If Japan is really serious into getting its technological market back, better start uncopying the USA practice of enslaving their phones and tablets to telecomunication companies.
It's a shame that the best phone right now, the Sharp Aquos Zeta Sh-02e, with its awesome new screen and specs, is going to the trash as if it was a failure, just because they don't make deals with companies outside Japan.
16MPixel CAMERA!!! IGZO ultra clear screen!!! Quad Core!! 2gb Ram!! all the specs of all the other phones plus like 30 that none of them have!! A total shame, Sharp!
Find it carefully and you will find a good guy have written a script for temp root, I used the script to have my SH-02E rooted.
And, as far as I can read the topic, the unlock file is for NAND crack and may write to recovery area.
I don't test that coz of warranty, the reason I want to root is to put some message backup back(something like LINE) and remote control (VNC server for example)
And, yes, you can find the temp root solution for both 1.0.4 and 1.0.5, but no 1.0.3, good luck!
Do you have some files for rooting sh02e 1.00.04

Hi rotalume
thanks for the note... can i ask a favor? i really need some help to install the SH-02E driver in windows.
tried to download the file from sharp's web, but after executing the install exe file, a bundle of unreadable signs come out, and i check my device manager, there is not SH-02E USB handler or SH-02E modem. I just want to make use of Helium (backup) to extract / restore apps and data...
thank you for your help in advance.
P.S. I guess to get the temp root script pushed to SH-02E, this driver is essential as well.
thanks again

The one you've installed is not ADB Driver, check ADB driver at developer site(I'm to young to post a link )
File name will be given as this form : usb_driver_SHARP_r6.10.zip
Download and extract, then install the driver by device manager.
And, I've used Carbon before but in vain coz of ADB driver(the author had told me), I don't know if this issue has been solved.
For the files, sorry guys, I've found someone at other forums has used them for commercial purpose(it's a shame that ppl of my country is included), so the best I can give is to tell you the clue.
You can post your question and I will do my best, but no file will be provided atm.

I was able to find and download that driver by just selecting the name you wrote and making a search on Googl. It was the very first result. thanks a lot. Although I would love the name of the script or the title of the page you downloaded it from.
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Proscan PLT7044k, Rooting, Roms, Any way to make it Suck Less?

A friend of mine picked up a Proscan PLT7044k. Great cheap tablet from BigLots they wanted to gift me as a late birthday present. Sure it's cheap, but cheap can be good right? Especially if it's a backup device or something to tinker with.
Trouble is we're running into some issues. Fine. Great it's a cheap Chinese tablet. We both get that we're not expecting nexus or ipad mini or even kindle fire quality. However GetJar is, apparently, not working correctly, Amazon Marketplace (which it was linked to in the device) will not let you change settings, and My friend isn't wanting to try rooting to get google play working just yet because we're not sure if the Thread found on the matter has all the bugs worked out.
This Thread seems to be closest to what 'we' want but the model number is different (it's supposed t obe the same device save for the one we're working with included a hardware keyboard/case, but one never knows.)
Of Note when queried my friend only saw a one gig internal storage device instead of the four gig advertised and described the external media slot as a SD slot instead of a micro-sd.
So, since I am, for the moment, treating this device as different and not wanting to risk bricking before info can be gained on if it's worht keeping or taken back, trying to figure out the following:
Very minimum how does one get google play on this gizmo.
Is there anything that can be done about the touch screen lag?
Is there a CyanogenMod port that will work or other custom rom that might help with the issues of lag?
Any advice would be welcome/useful. Even 'RTFM' with links to other threads.
Edit: Be Aware my 'primary' computer is running linux (peppermint OS3, ubuntu 12.04 based distro.)
I just got this tablet. You have root accesses out of the box. There are 2 ways I have installed play store. Through root explorer and through adb push. google gapps for jellybean. here is the manual and firmware proscanvideo.com/item.asp?itemnmbr=PLT7044K . I can make a tute anyone needs.
I ended up taking mine back and getting a Nook Touch. Sure I'll still need to root the thing to get much use out of it beyond being an e-reader but even with it not-rooted it's still actually a pretty good experiance.
Sorry Icouldn't be a trailblazer to anyone getting a proscan and wanting to improve on it.
a noob, but I honestly have tried...

ok, I have tried very VERY hard to find out how to root my proscan plt7044k. I've tried following the few links that I have found, and have found them to be broken. Or the items just won't download onto my computer or just flat don't work. It appears that what I have to do is to find a driver for this thing so that my computer can recognize it, and the Curtis website doesn't give any driver information. Yes, I did download their manuals and tech material, and they DON'T WORK. All they provide is a powerpoint thing that says to "find program x, do y, etc", without providing that program. I cannot find a driver for this p.o.s. ANYWHERE, nor any that would work for an earlier model and then also "might" work for mine.
I really want to get rid of the "getjar" crap, as well as all of the bloatware that google puts into these things!

proscan 7" tablet.
you kngoo root, make sure your using windows...anything past vista.
i used wkindows 7 or 8 from an internet cafe and my proscan is plt7602g and it worked fine...i even reset from the android service menu (green dead dude) and it worked but make sure most of all that you have the verify apps off so you can root it. because it will still be a danger to ur tablet. there is always a bricking chance, one you instakll kingoo root and run the program plug in ur tablet press root and the app takes care of it all. and if you google kingoo app or kingoo root it will show a main website and go from there
i got my proscan PLT1077G and i haven't found a **** yet i want to change my tablet android OS but don't have a developer who can help us with this one i think proscan is not that popular

Fire TV Stick Downgrade/Firestarter 3.2.2/Root Guide

Hello ive not done any guides before but since i had to search all over to try find out what i was looking for and stumbled across a lot of good information and thought id share it. None of this was my findings but there isn't anything clear on how to actually accomplish this on a Fire stick.
Im going to attempt to share how i have managed.
This guide assumes you already know how to transfer files to your stick.
First off, current Fire stick os is 5.2.1.0 and is rootable with Kingoroot.
https://root-apk.kingoapp.com
1. Download Kingoroot and ADB to your Fire stick, do this whichever way you normally get apk/files onto your Fire stick.
2. Download Kingoroot superuser and ADB to your Fire stick.
3. Run the Kingoroot tool and let it finish, when you have root, install Kingo roots Superuser. (If you install this before rooting it wont make any difference).
Now you should have a rooted Fire stick on 5.2.1.0 with Kingoroots SuperUser.
Now its time to downgrade your Fire stick. This file was provided by AFTVnews over at another thread and cuki3r3k83bln accomplished downgrade on the thread also so please leave thanks for them as before he posted the file and information i had no idea it was possible. Im suggesting to download the 5.0.5 file as i did because this was when firestarter worked with home button detection.
Download Fire Stick os 5.0.5
http://amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuit...te-kindle-montoya-54.5.3.7_user_537174420.bin
Once you have it downloaded rename the downloaded file to update.bin.
Im going to explain how i did it, i know there is many other variations on how to accomplish this and im not too familiar with adb commands but the way i will show is the way it worked for me.
We need to transfer the downloaded and renamed update.bin to the Fire stick so if you would like to transfer it with apps to fire or through command or any other variation thats fine but ill show commands used from windows laptop using adbLink.
Please note, if your using a different method to transfer you will have to slightly modify step 5 on where your update.bin is stored so cd /sdcard/download. if your update.bin is stored in download folder.
Another note is to make sure your file name is correct, mine was named update.bin.bin rather than update.bin this was fine just make sure to name it correctly or you will have to modify step 6 and step 8.
1. Open up adbLink and connect your device.
2. Push the update.bin to the sdcard. (this takes quite alot of time as your pushing 311mb file so be patient)
3. Once pushed you need to open up ADB Shell.
4. Run the command: su
5. Run the command: cd /sdcard
6. Run the command: mv ./update.bin /cache/
If you get an error about no space on device do the following:
Run the command rm -f /cache/*.bin
Run the command rm -f /cache/*.zip
Run the command exit
Run the command exit then reopen ADB Shell in adbLink repeat step 6.
7. Run the command cd /cache/recovery
8. Run the command echo --update_package=/cache/update.bin > command
9. Run the command reboot recovery
Your Fire stick should automatically start the downgrade and take 10 minutes or so.
As soon as its finished go back to your Kingoroot app and re-root your Fire stick. Then block updates (method 1) using AFTVnews guide at:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-block-software-updates-on-the-amazon-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick/
You should now be on 5.0.5 rooted and have updates blocked
All your apps should be still intact. Make sure you uninstall appstarter/firestopper and reinstall firestarter 3.2.3 (if you use it)
Then follow AFTVnews guide on how to re-enable it here:
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-cont...v-and-fire-tv-stick-software-version-5-0-5-1/
Please give the credit deserved to @AFTVnews.com and @cuki3r3k83bln
Its suggested all over to hold off before doing anything that could brick the device until rbox releases a recovery.
Please do not use any type of Su modifying tool/script/apk eg: SuperSume as these do not work and you will end up with a small brick.
Also its been pointed out to me by @deanr1977 that if your going to use this guide and decide to update Fire Stick os in the future, it maybe safer to unroot it first.
With that out of the way please excuse the bad layout of the guide as im no expert and would like to just share my experience.
Would I be able to go back to 5.2.1.0 once custom recovery and rom is released?

i cant see any reason why not, either grab the 5.2.1.0 .bin file and follow the guide using that or let it automatically update after re-enabling updates.
Are there any reasons for downgrading to 5.0.5? Does it have any advantages?

As far as im aware upto now, it seems that Firestarter home button detection works as it should, and firmware after this Firestarter will not work with home button detection.
Which is a big thing for me personally as i only use Firestick for netflix and kodi and its much easier to launch from within Firestarter.
Its good to know that the process of upgrading/downgrading is applicable to Fire stick as you never know what Amazon will try to take from you.
You sir are my hero. Kudos for the tutorial!

Its not recommended to let it auto update from root, unroot first then re-enable the update progress.
Also please can you note in your guide that its not recommended to try to swap the Su for Chainfires Su with the Super Sume or Super Sumepro app because so many people on this forum have bricked with this method & if any new users try your way & after want to unroot/swap method after the first boot they could have a non working device.
Ive not tried this guide myself (i dont need too) but if its working fine this info would be good to have here.

Fair point about pointing out about the brickable and dangerous su swapping methods with supersu me etc.
I will add a mention about it after the line that reads:
'Its suggested all over to hold off before doing anything that could brick the device until rbox releases a recovery.'
As for not recommended to auto update while rooted, ive had 2 sticks and a Fire Tv 2 auto update from 5.0.5 to 5.0.5.1 and then to 5.2.1.0 when my router was reset, (im sure im not the only one from what ive read either).
But since im a helping type of guy ill add this also.
Ok mate, just going by what's been said from the AFTVNews & Amazon Firestick forums. Glad you are including this thanks, Its just some only skim through the threads & read only the parts they want to so if this is included it may cut down on the "I've bricked my Amazon device please help threads" which clog up the forum.

Id take a stab and say if your stick originally came with a firmware below 5.0.5 but I honestly do not know as ive not tried but I cant see why it wouldnt work. You can go from 5.2.1.0 to 5.0.5.1 or to 5.0.5 so id imagine so.
What features have been removed by 5.0.5? Im interested myself and may try this myself if there is features I could use.
Amazing! I can't believe this was hard to find as all the news out there say you can only root the stick using a hardware mod.
I downgraded and rooted both my Sticks. Installed Firestarter 3.2.3, installed Seeder, removed unneeded processes from running and these things are super quick now. You still have to load the crappy slow Amazon launcher to keep the settings but oh well. Nicely done, now I hope a recovery option comes out and I can mess around further . Heatsink and overclocking anyone? lol

@sconnyuk i've downgraded successfully kingo root'ed stick 5.2.1->5.0.5 . But funny thing was under root shell command "wipe data " .It wiped device clean but root still stays on . Got OTA disabled and my other king root 5.0.5 stick will have similar treatment .

You will need to unroot it for root to go.
Kingoroot has the option to do this if its what you want.
You need mouse toggle for fire tv to navigate to the 'in app' menu icon if not plug fire stick into pc and run Windows version of Kingoroot to unroot.
Interesting, I just bought a 3rd Amazon stick to root. After running KingRoot, I've noticed I did not need to install KingUser at all. If you launch KingRoot again it allows you to launch KingoUser which is the same thing. I'm assuming that KingUser is just an updated version of what KingRoot already installs.
Sconnyuk, I checked all the boxes and chose Moderate. This was also mentioned in the XDA forums however sadly I cannot find the post anymore. Seeder is an application that has been around for a while which improves the response time on Android devices. There is a lot of technical details into how it works, but the point is the Amazon stick is not the fastest thing in the world and anything helps. Give it a try and see for yourself.

Miracast display mirroring became non-compliant with windows systems, it still works fine with android.
