IMPORTANT NOTE: Because people do not have respect for the work of other people or to the point of thanking all the links to the alternatives are "down" until further notice. Over 200 downloads and not a thank you?!
Thanks.
After receiving several PM `s trying to get my help in the installation of Froyo ROM` s i decided to create this little "How to" for the avoidance of doubt.
This is a guide based on the Windows XP System.
This guide is ONLY for Xperia X10.
This guide was based on information gathered and based on my own experience and presents, in my opinion, the best way to get what you want. Whenever possible I will present alternatives.
This guide has a starting point of the original ROM SE (no root) if you already have root access please go to step 2.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
What you`ll need before proceeding:
- Download SDK from google (need help for this? go HERE)
- Make sure you`ve just one partition on your sdcard and on FAT32. More info HERE
- Before each and every step make sure you have USB Debugging checked (settings>applications>Development)
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG
1. Getting Root Access
1st mode
- Download file rootme.tar.bz2 HERE and follow the instructions or use as an alternative SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse;
- Reboot.
2nd mode
You can alternatively use THIS pre-rooted and with xRecovery allready instaled rom. Saying this, if you choose to install this rom can proceed to step 3
Use THIS tool if you have any trouble with Bin4ry one.
Bin4ry realease a new tool you can try it HERE.
2. Installing xRecovery
1st mode
- Download xRecovery HERE and do the installation by following the instructions.
2nd mode
For the case of having problems installing the xRecovery do the following:
- Download THIS version of xRecovery;
- unzip it and copy the content (3 files) to the root of your sdcard;
- Open cmd prompt (start>run and type cmd) - From now on i will call this adb shell. I also recomend that you create a shortcut to this on your desktop, since you will use this many times;
- Now go to tools folder where you install your SDK. In my case (C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>);
Now type:
HTML:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
dd if=/sdcard/busybox of=/system/bin/busybox
dd if=/sdcard/chargemon of=/system/bin/chargemon
dd if=/sdcard/xrecovery.tar of=/system/bin/xrecovery.tar
reboot
Check your screen and give permition
- Reboot
- Press several times after "sonyericsson" appear on back button to confirm if xRecovery it`s installed. If it`s corrected installed you wil see your screen as the images bellow.
Although this guide is described for the installation of zhizu rom`s the process is exactly identical to the TripNRaVeRs and jerpelea rom`s
3. Installing Rom`s
This guide is for every rom that supports xRecovery process. I will not answer questions from other method.
- Choose the rom you want.
ZHIZU / TripNRaVers v2.1 / TripNRaVers vMIUI / jerpelea
3.1.
zhizu rom:
- Download-FreeX10 beta1.zip;
- Download gapps_latest_FreeX10.zip;
- Download FreeX10-beta1-hotfix4a.zip (at this point this is the last version, if a newer version exist please download that one. The process is identical);
- Create a folder at the root of the sdcard named ROMS;
- Create a folder inside ROMS called zhizu, TripNRaVers or jerpelea (dependind witch rom you`ll use);
- Copy the downloaded files to that folder;
- Reboot;
- Enter on xRecovery and:
3.1.1.
- Install custom zip;
- Choose custom zip from sdcard;
- ROMS (folder you created earlier);
- zhizu;
- Run the FreeX10-beta1.zip;
- Run the FreeX10-beta1-hotfix4a.zip;
- Reboot;
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
NOTES:
After that, probably you won`t have network and screen is crazy... do this:
Open adb shel again and type:
HTML:
adb shell
killall servicemanager
Your phone will reboot.
HAVE REAL ISSUES REGARDING "killall: not found"? type this instead (thks to NeoInc):
HTML:
adb shell
busybox killall servicemanager
If you`ve installed the TripNRaVers rom and if you have issues with wireless run this command on adb shell (thks to rodak ):
HTML:
adb shell
setprop net.dns1 192.168.1.1
If you having problems with su permission type (thks to AzureNightwalker ):
HTML:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
(back on topic)
- After reboot enter on xRecovery again and go where you put your files again but this time you will run the gapps_latest_FreeX10.zip
- DONNE
If after instaling gapps_latest_FreeX10.zip you still don`t have google apps, please install THIS and then gapps_latest_FreeX10.zip
4.
If you want to install new market, please do this:
- Enter AT LEAST once in the old one;
- Copy THIS to the folder you`ve created earlier and run it from xRecovery.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
CREDITS:
None of this would have been possible without the incredible work of our devs.
All the credit should be directed to them. Not for me. Just tried with this guide to help young (or not) to get phones rooted, install xRecovery and for installation of these incredible ROM `s.

|tips & tweaks|
some commands that you may require at some point
Copy to/from sdcard
HTML:
adb push /mnt/sdcard/<filename> - to copy the file to SD
adb pull /mnt/sdcard/<filename> - to copy the file from SD
Fix Facebook Sync (at the present TripNRaVeRs Rom may need it)
Please make back up first
Install to your Android using push command
HTML:
adb push ContactsProvider.apk /system/app/ContactsProvider.apk
adb reboot
Download ContactsProvider from HERE (thks XperiaX10iUser )
This will fix the Facebook sync, you might need to remove and add the Facebook account again.
If you loose root access for some reason, please open ADB shell and issue this command:
HTML:
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

some tips & tweaks to play with
Let`s play with build.prop shall we?
CAUTION WITH THIS!!! ALL CHANGES MUST BE DONNE AT THE END OF THE DOCUMENT!!!
What will you get with this...
Well. In my opinion and only that, i think this way i can preform a much stable version of 2.2 Froyo released by zhizu.
After all apps installed (more or less 35) i get a very stable and fast rom (more or less 1500 on quadrant) and rarely had a FC.
So...like i said...that`s my 2cents.
1st mode - root explorer
You can make changes directly through RE by going on \system and then:
- Press and hold on build.prop file;
- Check all Permitions on the drop down menu;
- Press and hold on build.prop file (again);
- Choose open in text editor;
- After changes were made save and exit;
- Reboot.
2nd mode - Through Text Editor
To edit this one you must do this on a UNIX system base. You can use THIS to do that.
- Copy your build.prop to your sdcard and then to your pc;
- Open build.prop through NOTEPAD++;
- Now check all permitions for build.prop in \system folder
- After you made the changes proceed in reverse way and check all permitions again;
- Reboot.
This is your build.prop of your phone. Here we can do some tweaks in it.
Look carefully some already exist somo you have to add.
ro.sf.lcd_density=XXX (here you can put any value between 180/240) - This will affect the way you see your screen;
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=XXX - This is how often your phone search for wi-fi spots and obviously will afect your battery life. Choose whatever you want in seconds. For instance, i have 360. Witch means my phone will search for wi-fi every 360 seconds.
dalvik.vm.heapsize=XXX (here you can put any value between 12/40) - This is how Android lead with apps. Lower value faster phone but big apps will crash. Higher value slower phone on small apps but faster on big ones). I have this to 40.
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=XXX (here you can put any value between 30/300) - This affect screen responseness of screen. You may try this if you have any problems with lag. I have this to 200.
mot.proximity.delay=XXX (here you can put any value between 0/300) - This will affect the time your screen goes off when receive a call. I have this to 150.

From my guide:
"Feel free to help me improve this guide, just post here and I will update this post with all good tips!"
But hey, let´s have a lot of guides spread all around this forum just to get some credit
Hmm. Sorry. Got a question here.
Step 1 and 1a, is it the same? Or i need to do step 1 and then do step 1a?
And partition on my sdcard is already on Fat32, do I need to reformat it again to Fat32?

Hi,
1st. Like i said "alternatively". 1 is one way and 1a is another way. The diference between the two is the fisrt one you have to root after install and the second one came pre-rooted.
2nd. Since you`ve sdcard on FAT32 don`t have to do it again. Just be sure there`s ONLY ONE partition.
Hope it helps
Oh. sorry. I miss the "alternatively".
Which one is the best? 1 or 1a?

If you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you

What are c-apps ?
https://cyngn.com/c-apps
Click the link to learn more
Requirements :-
C-apps package
Es file explorer OR aroma file manager
1) Install es file explorer (or boot to twrp, mount system in options, disable only mount system read-only and flash aroma file manager)
2) (Es file explorer users only) enable root explorer and mount system read-write
3) now rename /system/priv-app/dialer -> /system/priv-app/dialerx
4) similarly, rename /system/app/incallui -> /system/app/incalluix
5) (es file explorer users only) you may experience app crashes. Don't worry about them and reboot to twrp
6) flash c-apps package
7) (aroma file manager users only) mount system read-write in twrp options and disable the mount system read-only checkbox, then flash aroma file manager again and rename /system/app/incalluix -> /system/app/incallui (remove the x) and do the same to /system/priv-app/dialerx -> /system/priv-app/dialer (remove the x, do not change the case of the letters ! )
8) (aroma file manager users only) exit it and reboot to system
9) (es file explorer users only) follow step 7 after booting into android
10) (es file explorer users only) reboot your phone
11) now, disable these apps after booting into android (they do not work)
(I couldn't find the time to upload screenshots, coming soon !)
Edit :- screenshots added, check attachments
Truedialer works (partially, incallui doesn't work, dualsim works) but I prefer stock that is why I disabled it
Only use 1 dialer app or they may conflict !
Working :-
Cm account
Gallery
Email
Calendar
True caller service
Cm anti-theft
Screencast screen recorder
Etc etc
Audiofx is not working but maxxaudio tuner and audiofx are the same thing
Thanks, it works.
1. I couldn't find "disable only mount system read-only" in TWRP. Anyway, I flashed Aroma File Manager,
2. renamed said files, exited Aroma,
3. flashed C-Apps package,
4. again flashed Aroma, went inside /system to rename files, they were replaced by DailerNext and InCallUiNext, exited Aroma,
5. rebooted to system.
6. Found that stock apps have been replaced(Nevermind, I'm not fan of them anyway).
I followed TWRP procedure.

If you followed the procedure correctly, that wouldn't have happened

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 LTE/WIFI 2016 TINKER EDITION ROM (DEOXED/ROOT/XPOSED)
============================================
Update 01/04/2017
-----------------------
Tinker Edition V5.1 is now out.
* Re-added Samsung stock camera and gallery
* revert back to stock vold to fix issues people are having with micro sdcards
Now available for the SM-T285, SM-T280 to follow
Update 10/29/2016
------------------------
TWRP for the SM-T285 here
Early Build of TWRP for the T285 (see post by @ashyx will update this if an official version is released. The T280 version should be available not far behind I believe
Update 09/21/2016
-----------------------
V5 now out (root, deodexed, xposed) for the SM-T280/T285, still working on the SM-T280
Update 09/20/2016
------------------------
Turns out this device is not as locked as we all thought it too be. See thread below for my ordeal and more details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/help/resources-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-2016-t3431022
Modifications:
===========
* Based on LMY47V.T285XXU0APCN
* Stock Boot and Recovery (Not much choice since the bootloader is locked)
* Busybox
* Hijacked Vold (using CM 12.1 sources) to run shell scripts stored in /data/scripts/vold.init
* Removed Touchwiz launcher and redundant samsung apps (Hancom office, Kidzone), replaced with Trebuchet
* Enabled r/w to the external SD Card
* Dolby Atmos mod (09/11/2016) (thanks to @Nando14sunny)
* Deodexed/Xposed (09/13/2016) (thanks to @wanam and @rovo89)
* soft linked /etc/hosts to /data/scripts/hosts and can be edited using adb shell (09/13/2016) (thanks to @venomrat)
* V5: root chainfire's SuperSu 2.78 (09/21/2016) (thanks to @Chainfire)
* stock boot animation
Special thanks also to @ashyx for initially taking a look at this device , I haven't given up on rooting this device yet.
Special thanks to @klemen241 for helping me try out the SM-T280 build
Haven't done extensive testing on Xposed modules, but the pokemon go iv mod/hacked worked and that was good enough for me (Before pokemon Go was patched). If you use this ROM feedback is highly appreciated
NOTES: To be safe, perform a cache wipe using recovery. I didn't need to do this personally but I haven't tested all use cases
NOTES: Since this rom is deodexed, the first boot will take quite a while, so please be patient .
NOTES: if you are coming from V2 and are using the mount_ext4 apps2sd scripts please update it for additional support for the V3 ROM HERE:
https://github.com/jedld/smt285_data_scripts
NOTES: (09/13/2016) Unfortunately, the V3 build fails the Google SafetyNet check, will be a problem if you play Pokemon Go
Other Notes: Removed support for zygote.init scripts in V3 as I am now using the app_process32_xposed binary, will work to get this back soon. I haven't had a need for zygote scripts though. The vold.init scripts shoud still work as before if you are using the apps2sd script
Installation Instructions:
Odin or Heimdall Required. I you are coming from the Stock Rom please wipe/factory reset to be sure. If you are upgrading from V1 or V2 you are not required to wipe unless there are problems. If you are upgrading to V3 cache wipe is recommended using recovery.
--FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK--
1. Make sure to backup of your data and have a copy of your stock Rom in case something goes wrong.
2. Make sure your device is OEM unlocked. (Enable Developer settings and Enable the OEM unlock settings)
3. Extract ZIP file below and flash the tar.md5 file using ODIN, for details on this kindly look for instructions in the xda site.
4. For Heimdall you can use 7zip to extract the system.img from the tar.md5 and just flash the system.img itself.
Choose the appropriate download for the model (wifi only T280/ lte T285) that you have:
WIFI ONLY Download (SM-T280)

If you have suggestions, send me a PM.
Other Notes (So people don't have to ask):
* I've tried to run superuser daemonsu, but unfortunately the sepolicy scopes for vold and zygote are too narrow in this device for supersu to use despite being root. In theory a version of daemonsu can be made specifically to run on this device with a somewhat castrated functionality though I don't have access to the source code to figure it out. Navigating the sepolicy landmine is hard.
WIFI ISSUES
=========
There are reports of wifi problems with the latest build due to wrong permissions with dhcp hooks, if so you can do the following (big thanks to @_mone):
Using adb shell:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system/etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks
mount -o ro,remount,ro /system
/system is readonly by default, which is why you need the remount commands. Reboot your device after just to make sure.
Hi,
The mount_ext4_sdcard.sh script moves all apps to SD card on reboot?
Edit: did not read till the end. System apps are not move.

Thanks for your hard work. It's a pity this device is not as popular as their other models or more people would have already signed the petition.
I regret not doing more research before buying this tablet.
Hello there
At first i want to thank you for your hard work so far
Then i've got a question,
I just built this Tablet (LTE version) in my car. Now i'm on to configure it with Tasker to "act more like a car radio". It was really hard, because of the non rooted device.. But i did it so far
I used a sound mod, called Dolby Atmos (i think it's from lenovo?) on allmost every of my rooted devices to improve its sound.
I'm wondering if it would be possible that you could build in this mod inside a rom for me?
Normally i flash it as a zip file via a custom recovery so it's in the system files. but maybe you could edit it in there before the rom get flashed via odin? I could give you the zip, if u dont find it. It would be really nice!
Greetings from germany

Hi,
If it's not too troublesome, perhaps the next version can symlink the host file to a r/w folder so that ads can be blocked.
Thanks.

Thanks.

Possible, though the only r/w partition is data and cache, and it may potentially cause problems when you suddenly try to do a wipe. I'm working on deodexing and porting xposed framework for now. Either that if you've got some IP addresses that need to be blocked I can create an edition that has those entries. I'll see what I can do though there might be away to do it without breaking factory reset/wipe cache.

Wish Granted. As a bonus, the latest version of the ROM is now deodexed and Xposed, please refer to the main post for the updates.
Feedback is appreciated.

May need to modify build.prop, you may do this yourself here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/how-to/guide-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-0-sm-t285-t3438296
Also there may be an Xposed framework modules that do that. Not sure though since I'm ok with the stock DPI

Thanks. Will need to find time to re-flash this weekend.
Regarding xposed have you actually tested any other modules that need root?
I already built a rom with xposed but it was all but useless because pretty much all the modules I use need root.
most of those I tried don't need root so far (youtube adaway, pokemon go iv). Haven't tried those that need root but I suppose those wouldn't work.
I use app settings and it works for dpi change, and you are welcome. I am glad to test stuff, its fun haha. If anyone has questions about t280 you can ask me
how can i boost the volume? since its not rooted i cant find the mixer.xml
This is a debloat script. It will remove alot of the bloatware that comes with Sony Stock ROM
Flash zip with recovery (twrp )
Optional
I installed an app from this link

i can backup but i can not delet error 6
I've tried "jevinruv_debloat" using TWRP but the apps are still there.
Maybe i have to delete them from "backup" folder; which file manager do you recommand to access to /system folder ?
Using "root Explorer" i don't see any "_backup" folder.
I'd really like to see these apps to be deleted...
Thanks.
Can you include Claro's Brazilian app? How can I get the names for you? Are they in some specific folder?
Thanks

Yup probably it's on specific folder or/and it could have different package name.
You can try looking for it on these directories by using an explorer which supports root.
/oem/app/
/oem/deletable-app/
/system/app/
/system/priv-app/
/system/etc/product/
/system/vendor/app/
Or the easiest way you can use app that has ability to remove system app

Debloated Rom For The Fire TV Stick 4K 6.2.7.1 93/6.2.7.7 Revised
NOTE: Firmware versions after 6.2.7.7 will not work with this debloated rom. It's been a few months since I've updated this guide so be cautious with installing this. The latest fw implements an efuse to prevent downgrading.
IMPORTANT!!!
NEVER FLASH A STOCK ROM >= 6.2.8.0 AFTER FLASHING 6.2.8.1_r2 OR LATER! THIS WILL BLOW AN EFUSE.
Steps: Boot into TWRP from either the OTG cable or through an ADB command by enabling ADB debugging in My Fire TV, Developer Options. After booting into TWRP, make sure to wipe system, dalvik, and cache before flashing but before doing any of that take a backup of the system image, vendor image, boot and finally your data. After restoring remember Amazon will automatically have a verification to sign you in again because of security reasons.
XDA:DevDB Information
Debloated Rom For Fire TV Stick 4K (6.2.7.1 93/6.2.7.7)
Contributors
Skel40
ROM OS Version: 6.2.7.7 Debloated Rom. Based off the Stock Image of 6.2.7.1/93. 6.2.7.7 Pre-rooted Image.
ROM Firmware Required: 6.2.7.7 and less, efuse is now blown in version 6.2.8.0
Version Information
6.2.7.7 Revised
Debloated Latest Rom with 146 applications left out of the 171 installed with this new version found in /system/priv-app. The folder lists the removed files along with built in build.prop tweaks. (New) I moved the rom to MEGA for easier access. A little bit more packages have been added back for stability reasons. The package, com.amazon.tv.turnstile is the problem when pairing remotes so the issue is fixed!
6.2.7.1 93
Debloated Rom with 126 applications in priv-app, same information as above. With Build.prop Tweaks and no boot animation on reboot. Read the Changelog in the 6.2.7.1 93 Rom below for more information in the Removed Files Folder.
Issues: Prime Video is still having problems downloading and installing an additional app after installing it from the Amazon Appstore. The incremental updates won't work on 6.2.7.1 93 because of attempting to update to 6.2.7.7
Current Stable Version: Revised Version 1.1 6.2.7.7
Stable Release Date: 2021-01-04 (6.2.7.7 revised)
Created 2020-04-18
Last Updated 2021-01-04

Changelog of 6.2.7.1 93
With this downgraded release of 6.2.7.1 93, expect a few problems with several packages that I've removed for a reason:
Changelog of the 6.2.7.1 93 Debloated Version (FTVLaunchX/Accessibility features are working)
The apps that aren't working is solely because of the missing "System Components" update
* Amazon FreeTime won't work
* IMDB won't work (Use the Free section on the Fire TV Home UI for Free Movies/TV)
* News won't work
* Updating won't go through unless you choose to upgrade to the latest OS (Meaning it'll keep downloading 6.2.7.7 but will fail because of otacerts.zip being removed)
* Build.prop Tweaks are added to this rom, use a computer to transfer the prop file if you choose not to have the tweaks yourself.(My post can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/fire-tv-stick-4k-tweaks-root-keyboard-t4064269)
* Make a TWRP backup before flashing this rom of the following partitions: System Image, Boot, Data, and Vendor Image in case you want to go back however you want
* Most of things if not many of the packages and files are gone for maximum storage as possible (Removed Files can be found on the OP of this page)
* Please note that the mbcache.db file is a storage decreaser, use these commands for chmod 0 and make the file frozen with 0 MB
adb connect 192.168.x.x (change it to your IP)
adb shell
su
cd /data/data/com.amazon.tv.launcher/databases
rm mbcache.db*
touch mbcache.db
touch mbcache.db-shm
touch mbcache.db-wal
chmod 0 mbcache.db*
ls-all
To re-enable
adb connect 192.168.1.101 (change it to your IP)
adb shell
su
cd /data/data/com.amazon.tv.launcher/databases
rm mbcache.db*
touch mbcache.db
touch mbcache.db-shm
touch mbcache.db-wal
chmod 660 *.db
chmod 600 *.db-*
* All three files are zeros. Reboot and you'll now see more increased storage.
* Amazon Home will throw an error so enable Do Not Disturb in Settings
* Magisk is pre-installed, and the System is in RW mode.
* The Setup Wizard SHOULD go through no matter what. No need to worry about being stuck
Changelog of 6.2.7.7 Revised
* Magisk is pre-installed, and the System is also in RW mode.
*Priv-app, app, and media have been modified for debloating with a list of every file I've removed and being able to download the removed files as an apk without unzipping.
*Added Build tweaks except for the no boot animation
*Added packages back for stability
This guide is outdated but can still be flashed with this neat trick I learned from AFTVnews' guide about VoiceView found here:
How to Skip Software Updates during Initial Setup or Factory Reset on a Fire TV, Firestick, or Fire TV Cube
Since the latest software update for Fire TV devices is blocking the ability to use custom launchers, you may want to avoid updating a new or factory reset Fire TV.
www.aftvnews.com
I've pulled the 1.2 version to see what's wrong with the rom. Wip will be soon when I have time available
So far everything seems good .
Can you write the command to make a Backup
An how to restore over adb shell?

Ok flashing the rom I posted on the other forum with this backup erases the modifications done for debloating due to the zip acting like its an update therefore re-adds the deleted apps I deleted myself!!!!! Try downloading the boot.emmc.win and boot.emmc.win.sha2 with the debloated rom you downloaded, and restore the boot.img along with the system image, vendor image. (Put the boot.emmc.win and boot.emmc.win.sha2 inside the ftvs4kdebloatedv1.0 folder IF downloaded already) Before doing this, wipe /system, data, and cache THEN restore the system image, vendor image, and boot! Get back to me as soon as possible!!!!

The first time I tried it, I was on an older rom version. When I used your backup it was stuck at the black fire tv screen. I was able to get into TWRP and flash your 6.2.7.1 rom you posted then used your backup and it worked great. I should have made that clear. Sorry for that. That being said, with the new files you listed can a person use your backup on another rom version " say 6.2.6.8 " or should it be on 6.2.7.1.? I have another 4k stick I might have time tomorrow to test the new method on.

Any solution to skip updating screen?
Yes you must decompile com.amazon.tv.oobe.apk
with APK Easy Tool.
!!!!! For Sure save a backup of this file !!!!
and customize NativePageProvider.smali file
Replace the Update command like
Lines
??????? 》with NOP
example attached , decompile it and compare the file to understand how it works
than compile with APK Easy Tool and replace the file over twrp.
------‐-----------'
Easy way delete com.amazon.tv.oobe.apk over twrp.
Pair remote with use of TV-CEC Remote.
An then do the Configuration.
But then it is not possible to enable adb over the settings.
Can be done in twrp maybe.
in TWRP type:
echo -n 'mtp,adb' > /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config
echo '' >> /system/build.prop
echo '# Enable ADB' >> /system/build.prop
echo 'persist.service.adb.enable=1' >> /system/build.prop
echo 'persist.service.debuggable=1' >> /system/build.prop
echo 'persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb' >> /system/build.prop
Reboot
Do it at your own Risk!!!!!
If it works, run.
adb shell settings put global setup_wizard_has_run 1
adb shell settings put secure user_setup_complete 1
adb shell settings put global device_provisioned 1
To set oobe succesfully run.
----‐---------
Own Risk you can try replace com.amazon.tv.oobe.apk with the attached file, run the Setup Wizard and After that copy back the backuped com.amazon.tv.oobe.apk to /system/priv-app/com.amazon.tv.oobe/com.amazon.tv.oobe.apk

Thanks for the info! I make a try on the weekend. Restrictions.. I don;t have Amazon Prime... Just for Kodi and HBO Go. And mirroring phone display..
That would be another question. In case of an software update, the process of decompile and patching will probably have to be restarted?
