    I have a hacked Fire Stick with LineageOS which I enjoy. I wish I had useful suggestions for you, but I'm pretty sure there's no way to get it to boot something else without at least getting it into fastboot or recovery, and you don't have a way to do that.

    EDIT: this script migh work if it's a gen 3 or Lite. Probably not, but you're no worse off. It's certainly doing something before the boots, though, so maybe you can get some insight from there?

      I genuinely appreciate the effort, but this unfortunately would not have been helpful per this device's specific matrix of issues.

      That said I hope Marx visits you in your dreams tonight riding a hexagonal bear and they both give you a big hug.

      Can you tell me more about this? I've been meaning to get a fire stick or something along those lines to hack. Are there any apps you recommend on that OS for streaming?

      Also obligatory fedposting

        The hack I used to unlock the bootloader on my Gen 3 stick has since been patched, so I don't know what to recommend. There might still be working jailbreaks for the fire stick 4k? I'd recommend reading around this forum for a bit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/fire-tv-original-android-development.3083/
