Kodi you fucking idiot

Plus that sounds like bs since Amazon pre-loads people's Amazon information into the stick before sending. So either you're lying or Amazon fucked someone over and you have their Amazon access but i doubt that because they would've wanted it back.
Root it.

When I try to sign in, it says the account information does not match an Amazon account. I Googled it, and apparently this is because they shipped me one meant for another person.

GIVE IT BACK JAMAL

Did you even read the post? I tried to send it back but they couldn't figure out what to do. They just told me to dispose of it or give it to someone else.
If I contacted Amazon support, what are the chances they would activate it for me?
>>61157463
Well considering they told you to keep it, there should be no reason why they wouldn't activate it for you.
>>61157463
Only one way to find out; if you have a reference number for the last conversation, that might speed things along.

Nah, it was way too long ago.
>>61157539
It's not saved in your email or anything?
>>61157649
I talked to the tech support guy over live chat, and like I said, it was back in December of 2015.
>>61155883
give it back Tyrone.
>>61157665
Just fucking hand it back to whoever you stole it from and save yourself some dignity. Filthy stealing jamals have no place here
I highly doubt amazon would've let you keep it knowing it has someone else's account information on it. They would've definitely told you to send it back and probably gave you a months free prime to compensate for the inconvenience.
Why the fuck would a fire stick have preloaded account shit on it? Can't you just login with your own?
>>61155883
jamal, take the toothpick out of your mouth and look for the reset pin
You guys are retarded
Jamal clearly jacked it iut of someones home
Owner locked it and now Jamal cant unlock it
Give it back
>>61155883
Why would you put something like this in your home?
>>61155883
Just be aware that 1st gen Fire TV Sticks (the one you have) now run almost unbarebly slow now. I just upgraded my Fire TV stick to a Fire TV box because the lag was too much.
Maybe of you keep your stick running in Kodi almost all the time, it won't be that bad.
>>61157340
why don't you call them and explain the situation you autistic neet
you could put kodi on it, but internet streams are always shit and if you want to stream from a home server to it, then it will just lag
they're shit basically, i build a htpc instead
