I got myself this AuviPal OTG cable for about $7 from Amazon. An OTG cable enables you to connect USB external storage to your FireStick by adding a USB-A interface. That’s because the Amazon Firestick has NO USB port. To set up your USB drive with your Firestick, you’ll need an OTG cable. For optimum performance, Amazon recommends your USB drive be USB 3.0 and no larger than 128 GB in size. The cashflow investment is obviously there, no excuses! Suggests it is left insecure on PURPOSE.You can add more storage to your firestick using a USB flash disk or portable hard drive. Good luck! Our tech overlords have mis-designed much! Just look at the shambles that is USB security - the horrible BadUSB flaw has not been fixed in 20+ years of USB standards revision. hardware and software installed.įormatting the HDD is not enough these days (vs wiping data + HDD also has corruptible firmware, USB storage + SSD too). They work a little different than PCs, the principle is similar. Same for android devices, like Firesticks. ReFLASHING is a better option, in theory. Since the idiots that design the things, decide to allow corruption to be POSSIBLE (not necessarily 'a common occurrence' but who knows).īIOS flashed with backdoored rogue firmware is also possible. Took a bit of working out by trial and error.įactory Resetting a PC requires BIOS (UEFI) reset, too.

You should then have a virgin Firestick as new I think it took 10/ 12 attempts to achieve a factory reset. Then press the reverse and fast forward button at the same time. You are then able to access Firestick system settings It asks to set Firestick to usb debugging.ĭownloaded CetusPlay app on both an android or iPhone. With windows but you can download apple or Linux version. Linked to computer with ADB with usb lead( )
