"Although the information we release has been verified and shown to work to the best our knowledge, we cant be held accountable for bricked devices or roots gone wrong." This page will be dedicated to a general overview of descriptions and information related to The Amazon Fire TV Stick.
Purchase
Buying devices is expensive and, in a lot of cases our testing leads to bricked equipment. If you would like to help support our group, site, and research please use one of the links below to purchase your next device. Purchase the Amazon Fire TV Stick at Amazon
Tear Down
The Amazon Fire TV Stick contains no screws and is pretty easy to get apart once all the clips holding the case together are undone. In this tear down we used a guitar pick to separate the 2 pieces of the case but any similar small and durable piece of plastic would have worked.
e-MMC HW Root
The Fire TV Stick can be rooted via hardware by attaching to the e-MMC flash storage on the Stick's board and modifying the android file system directly.
