I have a rooted fire tv2 running a preroot rom 5.2.1.0 with the update blocks via ADB and the custom firmware version edited via ES explorer. If i update the to the new preroot rom (5.2.1.1) if rbox releases one, will i have to re block updates via ADB? i know i will have to do the custom firmware number one through ESexploerer again.
Anyone?
Yes, you would need to redo the software version block (method 5) but you do not need to redo the “adb pm disable” block (method 1).
Thankyou :)
