I rooted the Amazon Fire TV 2 Friday evening. It was not rooted using a method even close to what was described in the video. I need to find some time to create a new forum topic for it but you can find the details here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63714155&postcount=523
OK, I’ve created a new thread here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/root-amazon-fire-tv-gen-2-4k-t3245407
