How To Install Downloader on A Firestick
The Amazon Firestick has become the most popular Streaming Device available today due to its low price and simple jailbreak process.
What is a Firestick Jailbreak?
Jailbreaking a Firestick is the process of removing restrictions imposed by the manufacturer to allow for the installation of unauthorized software.
When we do this, we can install 3rd party applications not available within the Amazon App Store.
Once we jailbreak a Firestick, we can sideload applications onto the device that we normally can’t get through the Amazon App Store.
By doing so, your Firestick will have access to thousands of free movies, TV shows, live channels, sports, and more.
This is a safe process and only involves changing a few security settings on the Firestick or Fire TV.
Below, you will find a screenshot guide on how to Jailbreak Firestick for both the new and old interface.
