Buy them on eBay. All of their sellers are totally reputable, especially the ones claiming that their Android-based Fire TV Sticks are jailbroken. Make sure it has a "build" installed on it too. Those come with everything. You can get free support on the Kodi website.

My sister has one. Have no idea how to go about doing it, but she doesn't have cable so it definitely helped *me* (I have cable at my place lol) when visiting her for Thanksgiving. I binge watched a bunch of stuff on Netflix on her big screen TV while I was there for vacation. It also has Hulu, Amazon, etc and a whole bunch of other apps and stuff.

She likes it cause it helps her save $$. Cable in her town is astronomical. I still missed cable though cause I like to watch my favorite tv shows, etc. as they are being aired. But she's happy with it and feels it's worth it.

Is this a trick question?

No.



Generally, when I pose a question to the board, I'm looking for an answer to it.

It's seems self-evident to me.

The question was serious about what you are trying to accomplish. Technically you don't "jailbreak" a Firestick. If what you're trying to do is install Kodi media server software, you just install it. You can do it yourself. It's not like gaining superuser rights.

If your goal is protected content, then your problem is finding and configuring the right Kodi plugins.

There's still no "jailbreaking" involved as that term was coined in the iPhone world. Although the term is used that way sometimes.

But yes, it was a serious question.

BTW, to run some things like IPVanish, you'll need a second generation FireStick.

That's what you gotta do. Make sure you sign up for a paid subscription to IPVanish in order to protect yourself from the USA's draconian laws against streaming. If you ever get caught streaming, you're going straight to prison! Paying for this indispensible service will protect you from that.
