This comprehensive Jailbreak Firestick tutorial will show you how to unlock any Amazon Fire TV device to its full potential in 2025.
We offer both a step-by-step video tutorial and a detailed screenshot guide that make the jailbreak process simple enough for even first-time Firestick users to follow.
If you’re unsure about how it all works, don’t worry — our guide walks you through every step, and you’ll be navigating like a pro in no time.
We keep this Jailbreak Firestick guide updated with the latest side-loading methods, so make sure to bookmark this page for the most up-to-date streaming methods.
This process works on all variations of Firestick including the Fire TV Cube and Smart TVs with Fire TV built-in. In this guide, we are using the most popular version, which is the Fire TV Stick 4K Max.
We suggest watching our video guide first, which covers important details you need to know before unlocking your device.

This process of ‘jailbreaking’ is often associated with Apple iOS systems such as iPhones and iPads. However, that typically involves modifying the firmware and that is not what we are doing in this guide.
Jailbreaking a Fire TV Stick is a much different technique that only requires changing a few options within Settings that will “Enable Unknown Sources,” so you are not actually altering the device!
Once you turn on this setting, you can now download applications that are not available in the Amazon App Store – this is called side-loading. These apps are referred to as third-party applications since Amazon does not host them in its official app store.
The reason for installing these applications is to access media (Movies, Series, Live Television, Sports, etc.) that you would not normally find from apps in the Amazon App Store.
It is more important than ever now to take advantage of this ability while it lasts, as Amazon is continually cracking down on third-party apps.
In fact, the new Fire TV Stick 4K Select from Amazon has removed sideloading capabilities altogether so that only apps from their app store may be installed. If you own this device, this guide will not work for you and you may want to consider an alternative Firestick/Fire TV.
Before diving into the tutorial, there are a few key terms you should know that will help you navigate and understand the jailbreak process.
The first step in this process is to install the free Downloader application. This is the hub for installing third-party apps that offer free movies, TV shows, live streaming, and more.
After installation, you must enable the option to install from unknown sources. We show all of the necessary steps below.
You can find this app by simply searching for it within the Amazon App Store. Downloading should take less than a minute.
After you have installed this free application, return to the home screen of your device.
This is the key step to jailbreaking a Fire TV Stick. It’s the only modification that we are making on the device. After doing this, your device is officially unlocked and you can find free media apps to install! There are two different methods for allowing unknown sources and we provide both below.
Congrats! You have now officially “jailbroken” your Fire TV Stick. Now we’re getting to the good part!
Continue reading to learn how to use your device to find these secret applications. Oftentimes, these are referred to as APKs as they are technically Android apps.
The best way to find apps or APKs is with the TROYPOINT Toolbox. We can access the Toolbox as shown in the screenshots below.
1. Open the Downloader app that we previously installed.
2. When you see the intro message, click OK.
3. Click the URL Menu bar.
4. Type 250931 and hit the Go button.
5. Wait for the page to redirect.
6. You are now at the TROYPOINT Toolbox which is the best resource available to install secret apps.
7. As you can see, you can easily find popular applications with corresponding “download” and “tutorial” links.
Clicking download will install the app while the tutorial button directs you to a resource guide for the app you are interested in.
8. We suggest using 3rd app Stores to find various apps. We dive into more detail below but one example of these is APKTime which you can install easily via the TROYPOINT Toolbox.
9. Users must also enable unknown sources after installation so that we can install apps with them as pictured below.
Unlike apps that are provided in official App Stores, when we side-load, we cannot be sure who the developers are and what they may be doing with your information.
Every device is assigned an IP Address that is visible to your internet service provider and any website/app operator. This means that these onlookers can see your location as well as your private information, including exactly what you access on this device.
The best way to make sure your information stays private is by installing a VPN application on your device.
Our top VPN service has applications readily available to install on any device you can imagine including the Amazon Firestick. Here is how you can protect yourself when using these free platforms.
1. Register for the VPN subscription of your choice by CLICKING HERE.
2. On your Fire TV Stick, select the search icon and click the search bar.
3. Enter Surfshark.
4. Choose Surfshark VPN.
5. Download the app.
6. When the app has been installed, open it for use.
7. Login with your credentials.
8. Connect to your preferred VPN location and your IP Address has now been changed!
After making sure you are safe, you can continue installing and using the apps below.
The TROYPOINT Toolbox has numerous 3rd party app stores. These app stores are Amazon alternatives and the absolute best way to fully unleash your Firestick or Fire TV devices.
We can install the best ones right from the Toolbox and then use them to download free applications for films, series, etc. Here are the top alternative App Stores:
APKTime is likely the best outlet for installing popular APKs as it is updated daily with the latest version of each app.
Oftentimes, these updates are available before other platforms so you can always get the newest release the fastest.

Another popular app store is Unlinked which uses secret “codes” to access libraries full of well-known applications.
Many of these are catered to a particular niche, whether that be IPTV, On-Demand, or Tools, and users can bulk install these apps in just a few clicks.

Often referred to as a Google Play Alternative, Aptoide is available for any Android device and this includes mobile phones and tablets.

With a 3rd party app store of your choice now installed, we can easily install the best apps for movies, TV shows, live channels, sports, and more!
Here is an updated list of Firestick Apps that you should download on your device after enabling Unknown Sources.
Using Kodi generally goes hand in hand with those who “jailbreak” FireStick as these terms are oftentimes paired together. Kodi is the original free streaming platform that still comes in handy today for those wanting to view unrestricted content.
This content comes from popular add-ons and builds that are available for installation via Repository URL. Unlike most apps and APKs, Kodi does not have ads which is why many still use this media software today!

Using Stremio is extremely popular because of its easy-to-use interface that provides different viewing options such as Movies and TV Series.
Unlike other app choices, this uses torrent links, which are the fastest source options available. However, using torrents is extremely dangerous unless protected with a VPN.
Just like Kodi, Stremio has various 3rd Party Addons that you can integrate for an immersive viewing experience. Make sure to give this one a try.
Stremio Installation Guide
Cinema HD is an application has stood the test of time and continues to provide users with all of the on-demand movies and TV shows they are looking for.
Unlike others that require some setup, Cinema is a “turnkey” app that lets you find sources for viewing immediately upon installation. Your best bet is to use real-debrd in conjunction but those who don’t have this service will also find working link options.

Syncler has recently been updated to V2 and is functioning better than ever. It works just like Stremio, however, instead of addons that users must install, it uses “Vendors” which are streaming source packages.
It also requires a 3rd party resolver (such as Premiumize) and a Syncler account but once you set it up you will enjoy one of the best ways to watch Movies and Series available today.
Install Syncler on Firestick
Flix Vision is a newer streaming app that offers a mix of on-demand movies, TV shows, and even live TV channels.
This app has gained popularity due to its user-friendly interface and high-quality streaming links. Flix Vision integrates with debrid services and also features an ad-free mode for those who want an uninterrupted viewing session.
How to Install Flix Vision
BeeTV is an on-demand streaming app that pulls high-quality links for movies and TV shows. This app is known for its simple interface and ability to integrate with debrid services for premium streaming links.
While it does have some ads, the overall experience of this app is smooth and complements Cinema HD. BeeTV also supports Trakt integration, external video players, and more.

Another high-quality media app for VOD, this one separates itself from other options on this list as it features “auto-play” abilities for immediate playback.
No need to add a debrid/resolving source to OnStream (it isn’t even an option) as links provided are high quality and play without buffering. The simplest APK you can find!

Many are turning to HDO Box as an alternative to other free streaming apps as it is readily available on other devices besides Firestick (Android phones, tablets, etc.)
This is great for those who want to sync media across various platforms via Trakt so you won’t lose your spot! HDO Box is another one-click application that will automatically play your content in high definition.

StreamFire is one of the best free IPTV apps available that was built by the creators of SportsFire which we describe below. With a plethora of live channels to choose from that all work with one click, it may be the only app you need for live streaming.

IPTV Smarters is a popular IPTV player designed specifically for live TV services. This app doesn’t provide content itself but works as a player for live TV subscriptions you already have.
The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to organize your favorite channels and create playlists. IPTV Smarters supports multiple playlists, parental controls, and includes an EPG (Electronic Program Guide) for easy channel browsing.

There are some other important topics to discuss before sending you off to use your newly jailbroken Fire TV Stick. For the most immersive viewing experience, you will likely need both of the items discussed below.
These are paid services but the benefits truly outweigh the cost.
A jailbroken Firestick unlocks a world of streaming possibilities, but it also exposes users to excessive ads, trackers, and pop-ups within third-party apps. Many free streaming applications rely on ad revenue, leading to annoying ads that disrupt the viewing experience.
The best way to combat this is by using a VPN with built-in ad-blocking features. Surfshark VPN’s CleanWeb is one of the best options available. This feature automatically blocks ads, trackers, and even malicious sites before they load on your device.
Unlike standalone ad-blocking apps, CleanWeb doesn’t require additional installations or configurations. It works directly within Surfshark VPN, meaning you get the benefits of ad-free browsing while keeping your connection encrypted.
Most of the apps listed above are useless without Real-Debrid, Premiumize, or other premium debrid services. While some apps will provide streaming links for free, oftentimes these sources are clogged up with high traffic which means buffering will result.
To make sure your viewing experience is entirely buffer-free, it is almost a necessity to integrate a resolving service that works as an intermediate to provide the fastest link options in high definition including 1080p & 4K.
After registering for Premiumize, setting up this service in various applications and add-ons is extremely easy and we show you how to do it in each of our tutorials linked above. You will then have access to HD links that never freeze for a flawless streaming experience.
Pictured below is an example of the link options provided after enabling Premiumize within an Android APK. However, this platform also works with various add-ons that you can install on the Kodi software.
One of the best ways to enhance your Firestick experience after jailbreaking it is by installing a custom launcher.
Fire TV devices come with Amazon’s default user interface, which is packed with ads, sponsored content, and unnecessary recommendations. Custom launchers provide a cleaner, ad-free home screen that allows for quicker access to your favorite apps.
Popular options include the Wolf Launcher and Projectivity Launcher. Best of all, these custom launchers do not require complex modifications or rooting your device!
NOTE: Amazon has attempted to disable 3rd party launchers numerous times but we have created a workaround. Use our Fire TV Exploit Guide to learn how to block updates on your device and use Custom Launchers such as the ones listed above!
One of the best ways to fully unlock your Fire TV device is by adding an IPTV Service to your streaming repertoire. This is a paid service, but most usually find it is worth it as there are thousands of live channels available for just a few dollars a month.
IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television and is the best way to find live streams without paying for an expensive cable/satellite subscription.
Yes, it is completely legal to adjust settings within your Fire TV Stick and install applications that you cannot find within the Amazon App Store.
However, some of the content provided by these services may be available without the proper licensing. You should make sure you are using legal streaming apps and only accessing movies and TV shows with verified licensing.
The end-user is responsible for all content accessed through jailbroken Fire TV devices.
While various websites and storefronts attempt to sell “fully-loaded” devices, we STRONGLY recommend avoiding these and doing it yourself.
These sellers charge premium prices for something you can do yourself in minutes. Worse, you have no idea what apps they’ve installed or if they’ve added malicious software to the device.
What’s most disturbing is how many of these ‘fully loaded’ devices are available on storefronts like Google Shopping, eBay, Temu, Alibaba, and more.
The process is simple enough that anyone can do it. You don’t need technical skills or special knowledge. Just follow the steps in this guide, and you’ll save money while knowing exactly what’s on your device.
If you choose to jailbreak Firestick, there are unlimited ways to do so, and the guide above provides the best, fastest method available.
As you have seen in the guide above, jailbreaking is simply adjusting a few options within the Settings and then finding and installing these free applications that provide the content you are looking for.
There are hundreds of different platforms available that provide free content, including Movies, Shows, Live Television, Sports, Anime, and much more.
If you have found this guide helpful, let us know using the comment section below. We would love to hear about your experience “unlocking” a Fire TV Stick and using it to find the streaming content you are looking for!
A jailbroken Firestick can provide you with the best overall media experience without paying for expensive cable, satellite, or streaming service subscriptions. There are thousands of free apps available that you can find outside of the Amazon App Store and this process allows you to install them.
The jailbreaking process does not modify system files, install malware, or damage hardware. You’re simply changing a setting that Amazon already built into the Fire TV operating system. The safest way to jailbreak your Fire TV Stick is by installing a Trusted VPN Service to protect you from unknown app developers and more.
If you follow our guide above to simply enable unknown apps for your device, it is not illegal. However, you should take caution with “pre-jailbroken” Fire TV sticks that we reference above as buying one of these (or selling them) is likely illegal.
Yes. You can reverse the process by going back into Developer Options and turning off “Install Unknown Apps” for Downloader. Or factory reset your device through Settings to return it to its original condition. All of your side-loaded apps will be removed.
The jailbreaking process itself won’t slow down your device. However, installing too many apps or using poorly optimized apps can affect performance. Stick to well-maintained apps and uninstall ones you don’t use regularly to keep your device running smoothly.
Most devices have free tv channels provided but there are also various apps and APKs that users can install for hundreds of live options without a subscription. Check out our guide above or use a free live TV app to find channels at no charge.
