Step 1: Setting Up the Fire Stick for Jailbreaking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFirst, you need to tweak a setting on Fire TV Stick \/ Cube to allow the jailbreak process to work. This native setting is all you need to tweak to get started. You are NOT infiltrating any system settings or manipulating any operating system core files<\/strong>. This jailbreak hack is simpler than most people think. You don\u2019t even need a computer. All you need is your FireStick, its remote, and an internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Power on your Amazon Fire TV Stick and wait for this home screen to load up<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n2. Highlight the menu bar on the top and navigate to Settings<\/strong> option on the far right<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n3. Now, choose the option My Fire TV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n4. On the following window, open the item Developer Options<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n5. First, switch ON the option ADB Debugging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n6. Next, switch ON the option Apps from Unknown Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis gives you permission to download apps from outside the Amazon App Store.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n7. You must now see this prompt with a message<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go ahead and choose Turn On<\/strong> in order to continue<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n8. Press the back button on the Amazon Fire TV remote<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will take you back to the Settings window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open Preferences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n9. Open Privacy Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n10. Turn OFF the following options to stop sharing the usage data after you jailbreak Fire Stick in the Privacy Settings<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nDevice Usage Data<\/li>\n\n\n\n Collect App Usage Data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n11. Press the back button one time. You should now be back to the Preferences<\/strong> window<\/p>\n\n\n\nClick Data Monitoring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n12. Now, turn OFF Data Monitoring<\/strong> on the next screen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep 2: Install APK Downloader on FireStick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Jailbreaking is all about installing the third-party APKs on FireStick device for free streaming. The Amazon App Store does not have these apps. To install third-party streaming apps, you need a facilitating application. That\u2019s because Amazon Fire TV Stick does not support direct download through the browser (like you do it on your Android mobile).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The app from which we will install all our jailbreak apps is Downloader<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNote: <\/em><\/strong>We are not using ES File Explorer anymore as it has gone premium and charges $9.99 per month<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nSo, here is what we are going to do in this section: Install Downloader app from Amazon App Store<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s get on with it now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Go to the home screen of your Amazon Fire TV Stick again<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n2. Select the Search<\/strong> option available in the top-left corner of your Fire TV (it is the lens icon you need to choose)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n3. On this Search window, type the name of the app Downloader<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nClick Downloader in the search suggestions displayed on the Amazon FireStick window<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n4. Click the Downloader<\/strong> icon on the next screen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n5. Choose Download <\/strong>(or Get<\/strong>) on the window that appears next<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n6. Wait for the Downloader app to download and then install<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click Open<\/strong> to launch the Downloader app<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n7. Dismiss any prompts that are displayed when you use the Downloader app for the first time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will start by clicking the section of the app highlighted in the image below (where it says http:\/\/<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep 3: Jailbreak Firestick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Now, we will start installing different streaming apps starting with Kodi 18. If you are not aware, Kodi is a media application that gives you access to the huge world of free entertainment. It lets you watch your favorite Movies, TV Shows, TV Channels, Sports, content for Kids and a lot more. Yes, you can stream anything you want. All you need is the right Kodi Addons and Builds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will jailbreak Fire Stick with Kodi using the Downloader app that you just downloaded from the Amazon App Store. Here are the steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Open Downloader.<\/strong> Click the URL textbox where it says http:\/\/<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n2. When this window is displayed, enter the following URLhttps:\/\/tivimates.net\/kapk<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nClick GO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n3. Wait for the Downloader app to download the Kodi 18 Leia APK<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n4. Now we need to install Kodi. Select Install<\/strong> and click it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n5. Wait for the Kodi APK to install<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n6. App Installed <\/strong>notification will confirm that Kodi has been installed on your Amazon Fire TV Stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGreat! Your FireStick is now jailbroken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click Open<\/strong> to run Kodi. If you want to open Kodi later, click Done<\/strong>. You may open it later from the Your Apps & Channels list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n7. Kodi 18 will take a minute to open if it is the first time. That\u2019s normal. This is how the home-screen of Kodi looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWondering what to do next? Kodi is a clean slate for now with nothing to play. To learn how to use a jailbroken FireStick, keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Use Jailbroken FireStick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Now that you have jailbroken your Fire TV Stick, it is time you knew how to make the maximum out of your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, before you start using your jailbroken Fire Stick, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi or other streaming apps is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, Sports) might get you into legal trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Fire Stick. A VPN helps you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN<\/u><\/strong>, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is Kodi friendly and very easy-to-install on Fire TV \/ Stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We do not encourage the violation of the copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, before you start using your jailbroken Fire Stick, let\u2019s see how to use ExpressVPN to keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1:<\/strong> Subscribe to ExpressVPN. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it freely for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStep 2:<\/strong> Power ON your Fire TV \/ Stick and go to the \u201cSearch\u201d option on the extreme left. Now type \u201cExpressvpn\u201d (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep 3:<\/strong> Click \u201cDownload\u201d to install the ExpressVPN app for Fire TV \/ Stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep 4:<\/strong> Open the app and enter your login credentials which you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click \u201cSign in\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nStep 5:<\/strong> Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That\u2019s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nNow that your Firestick is using a secured connection, it is time to start using your jailbroken FireStick \/ Fire TV Cube \/ Firestick 4K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though you have installed Kodi, the FireStick jailbreak process is yet not complete. Installing Kodi media player is just the start. We now need to find out how to use Kodi to stream free Movies, Shows, Live TV, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What you need to do now is install Kodi Add-ons or Builds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Jailbreak Fire Stick (ES File Explorer method)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t need to follow this if you have already jailbroken your Firestick with the above-given method. If the Downloader app is not available in your region, you can use ES File Explorer to jailbreak FireStick. Please note that sideloading is no longer available for free with ES File Explorer. You need a paid subscription that costs $9.99 every month. The app also offers a free 7-day trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Follow the steps below to jailbreak your Firestick:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nGo to Settings<\/strong> > My Fire TV<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nOpen Developer Options<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nTurn on Apps from Unknown Sources<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nGo back to the Settings<\/strong> page<\/li>\n\n\n\nOpen Preferences<\/strong> > Privacy Settings<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nDisable Device Usage Data<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nDisable Collect App Usage Data<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nGo to the home screen<\/strong> of your Fire Stick<\/li>\n\n\n\nSelect the Search<\/strong> tool in the top-left corner<\/li>\n\n\n\nType<\/strong> ES File Explorer using Remote of your FireStick\/ Fire TV\/ Fire TV Cube<\/li>\n\n\n\nClick<\/strong> ES File Explorer when shows up in the search results<\/li>\n\n\n\nClick Download<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nWait while ES File Explorer is downloaded and installed<\/li>\n\n\n\n Click Open<\/strong> to run ES File Explorer app<\/li>\n\n\n\nOn the right part of the ES File Explorer, select and click the icon Downloader<\/li>\n\n\n\n Click +New<\/strong> at the bottom<\/li>\n\n\n\nEnter the URL https:\/\/tivimates.net\/kapk<\/strong> in the Path<\/em> field. Enter a name in the Name<\/em> field<\/li>\n\n\n\nClick Download Now<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nWhen the Kodi APK file has downloaded, click Open file<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\nClick Install <\/strong>on the next prompt<\/li>\n\n\n\nScroll down to the bottom right of the next window and click Install<\/strong> again<\/li>\n\n\n\nYou will see the App installed<\/strong> notification soon. Great! You have a jailbroken Firestick<\/strong> now<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nBest Jailbreak Apps for FireStick<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nKodi is one great way to jailbreak FireStick.
