This guide will teach you how to jailbreak FireStick and install popular streaming apps for free movies, TV shows, Live TV, Sports, and much more. This 2023 jailbreak method demonstrated here also works on FireStick 4K, Fire TV, FireStick Lite, new FireStick Max, and Fire TV Cube.
For an amazing streaming experience, make sure you follow everything step-by-step as shown in this guide.
Amazon FireStick is a trendy streaming device. This simple yet feature-rich device is a low-cost solution to convert any regular TV with HDMI compatibility into a smart TV.
FireStick lets you stream content from various online media and entertainment services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and several TV Networks.
That’s all wonderful. But, there is a significant drawback. You must pay a subscription fee to watch content through these entertainment services. And their subscriptions aren’t cheap. So they can burn a big hole in your pocket.
This is why we jailbreak FireStick. Jailbreaking allows you to get third-party streaming apps that give you free access to all your favorite movies, shows, live TV channels, sports, and more.

What is a FireStick Jailbreak?
Jailbreak is a simple process of unlocking your FireStick and allowing yourself access to the bottomless pool of content on the internet.
When you jailbreak your FireStick, you get past the restrictions placed on your device when you first purchased it.
The FireStick jailbreak involves installing third-party applications and services not included in the Amazon App Store.
You can think of the jailbreaking process as bringing down the wall that stands between you and unlimited entertainment. It is a way to hack Firestick without causing the device any harm at all.
FireStick jailbreak is meant for users who want to enjoy unrestricted streaming without boundaries.
And thankfully, it is such an easy process that anyone without technical knowledge can do it.
Why Do You Jailbreak a FireStick?
The answer to this question is rather simple. You jailbreak your FireStick to enjoy unlimited/free streaming without having to burn a hole in your pocket.
Jailbreaking brings all the online streaming content within your easy reach. It unlocks the true potential of your FireStick device.
Whether you like to watch movies, TV shows, live TV, sports, or just about anything, jailbreaking makes it possible for you. With a jailbroken FireStick, you have instant access to whatever you want to watch.
You want to jailbreak your Amazon Fire Stick because that makes you a cord-cutter in the true sense.
Is It Safe & Legal to Jailbreak a FireStick?
Let me set your mind at ease: Yes!
Jailbreaking FireStick is both SAFE and LEGAL as long as you are not streaming any copyrighted content.
It is safe because it does not involve making any changes to the system files of your Fire TV operating system. So it is not like hacking an Android mobile or jailbreaking iOS.
You do not need root access to your FireStick operating system for jailbreaking. In addition, you are not manipulating any core-level files. All these things require a certain level of technical expertise. However, as I said, jailbreaking FireStick requires no technical knowledge. I am a layperson, and I could do the jailbreaking within minutes.
When you do the FireStick jailbreak, all you do is get certain third-party apps, which we have talked about later in this guide. These apps are not available on the official app store of Amazon. You do not have to program FireStick in any other way.
As for the legality, jailbreaking is 100% legal. You own the device and are free to do whatever you like with it. You are simply downloading some apps which are already used by millions.
It does not even void the warranty of your device. In fact, Amazon itself allows you to sideload such apps.
However, there is a word of caution for you. Jailbreaking in itself is legal. But, you are installing third-party apps that give you access to unrestricted content. These are not your regular apps from the Amazon App Store.
Do not overstep the legal boundaries by streaming copyrighted content. At FireStickTricks.com, we encourage you to be a good judge of your actions and stream the content available in the public domain.
Also, to safeguard your privacy, always use a VPN (more about it later).
How to Jailbreak FireStick
Although the Amazon Fire Stick jailbreak process isn’t exactly a cakewalk, it’s not some rocket science. So I have broken down the process into easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions.
Just ensure you follow them exactly as provided, and you will have a jailbroken FireStick within minutes.
You might have seen some fully loaded Firesticks for sale on the internet. Such streaming devices are usually sold at $40-50 above the retail price.
You don’t need to spend those extra bucks when you can do it all by yourself and, like I said, “within minutes.” Moreover, I have seen people facing legal battles for selling jailbroken FireSticks.
Just follow the steps mentioned below, and you’ll easily be able to jailbreak Amazon Fire Stick.
I have successfully run these steps multiple times on 2nd Generation Firestick with Alexa Voice Remote, FireStick 3rd Gen, FireStick 4K, 4K Max, Fire TV Cube, and Firestick Lite. I will also show you how to use Jailbroken FireStick in the later section of this guide. Stay tuned.
Attention, FireStick Users!
Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.
I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you're not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Step 1: Install APK Downloader on FireStick
Jailbreaking is all about installing third-party APKs on FireStick devices for free streaming. Unfortunately, the Amazon App Store does not have these apps.
To install third-party streaming apps, you need a facilitating application. That’s because Amazon Fire TV Stick does not support direct downloads through the browser (like you do on your Android mobile).
The app from which we will install all our jailbreak apps is Downloader.
So, here is what we will do in this section – Install the Downloader app from Amazon App Store.
Let’s get on with it now.
1. Go to the home screen of your Amazon Fire TV Stick.
Note: Depending on your Fire TV OS version, your home screen may appear slightly different.
2. Select Find in the middle bar, followed by Search.
3. On the search window, type the app’s name, Downloader. Click Downloader in the search suggestions.
4. Click the Downloader icon on the next screen.
5. Choose Download (or Get) on the next window.
6. Wait for the Downloader app to download and then install it. Then click Open to launch the Downloader app.
7. Dismiss any prompts displayed when you use the Downloader app for the first time. But if it asks you to give it any permissions, ensure you Allow them all.
Later, you will start by clicking the section of the app highlighted in the image below. However, before that, we need to take care of something else. So, jump to the next section.
Step 2: Setting Up FireStick for Jailbreaking
First, you need to tweak a Fire TV Stick / Cube setting to allow the jailbreak process to work.
This native setting is all you need to tweak to get started.
You are NOT changing system settings or manipulating operating system core files.
This jailbreak hack is more straightforward than most people think. You don’t even need a computer. All you need is your FireStick, its remote, and an internet connection.
1. Power on your Amazon Fire TV Stick and wait for this home screen to load up.
Note: The following is the image from the updated FireStick OS. If you have the older version, it will look a little different.
2. Select the gear icon or cog icon in the middle bar (on the far right) to open Settings.
3. Now, choose the option My Fire TV.
4. On the following window, click Developer options.
Now, select Fire TV Stick and click it 7 times to enable Developer Options. If you’re still not sure how to do it, here’s a step-by-step guide to enable developer options.
5. First, switch ON the ADB Debugging.
6. Next, click Install unknown apps. This setting permits you to download apps from outside the Amazon App Store.
Note: On the older Fire TV OS, click Apps from Unknown Sources and turn it ON.
7. Click Downloader and turn it ON.
8. Press the back button on the Amazon Fire TV remote. It will take you back to the Settings window. Open Preferences.
9. Open Privacy Settings.
10. Turn OFF the following options to stop sharing the usage data after you jailbreak Fire Stick in the Privacy Settings:
- Device Usage Data
- Collect App Usage Data
11. Press the back button one time. You should now be back in the Preferences window. Click Data Usage Monitoring.
12. Now, turn OFF the Data Usage Monitoring setting on the next screen.
Step 3: Jailbreak Firestick
The first jailbreak app we are going to install is called Kodi. If you are unaware, Kodi is a media application that gives you access to the vast world of free entertainment.
It lets you watch your favorite movies, TV shows, TV channels, sports, kids’ content, and much more. Yes, you can stream anything you want. All you need is the right Kodi Addons and Builds.
We will jailbreak Fire Stick with Kodi using the Downloader app you just downloaded from the Amazon App Store.
Here are the steps:
1. Open Downloader. Click the URL text box as highlighted in the image below.
2. When this window is displayed, enter firesticktricks.com/kapk and click Go.
3. Wait for the Downloader app to download the Kodi 20.1 Nexus APK.
4. Now, we need to install Kodi. Select Install and click it.
5. Wait for the Kodi APK to install.
6. An App Installed notification will confirm that Kodi has been installed on your Amazon Fire TV Stick.
Great! Your FireStick is now jailbroken. Click OPEN to run Kodi.
If you want to open Kodi later, click DONE. You may open it later from the Your Apps & Channels list.
7. Kodi will take a minute to open if it is the first time. That’s normal. This is how the Kodi home screen looks.
Wondering what to do next? Kodi is a clean slate for now, with nothing to play. To learn how to use a jailbroken FireStick, keep reading.
How to Use Jailbroken FireStick
Now that you have jailbroken your Fire TV Stick, it is time you knew how to make the maximum out of your device.
However, before you start using your jailbroken Fire Stick, I want to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi or other streaming apps is visible to your ISP and Government. Therefore, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, Sports) might get you into legal trouble.
Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Fire Stick.
A VPN helps bypass online surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is Kodi-friendly and straightforward to install on Fire TV / Stick.
We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to distinguish between a legit and illegal source.
So, before using your jailbroken Fire Stick, let’s see how to use ExpressVPN to keep your streaming activities hidden from prying eyes.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. This means you can use it freely for the first 30-days, and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.
Step 2: Turn your Fire TV Stick on and Click Find, followed by Search.
Step 3: Now type Expressvpn in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it appears in the search results.
Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app for Fire TV / Stick.
Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign In.
Step 6: Click the power button to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.
You can also read more detailed info on ExpressVPN with Fire TV / Stick.
Now that your Firestick is using a secured connection, it is time to start using your jailbroken FireStick / Fire TV Cube / Firestick 4K.
Even though you have installed Kodi, the FireStick jailbreak process is not yet complete. So installing the Kodi media player is just the start. We now need to learn how to use Kodi to stream free movies, shows, live TV, and more.
What you need to do now is install Kodi add-ons or builds.
Kodi Addons
Kodi does not have any media of its own. Instead, the media needs to be sourced from the internet. And, to do that, you need the Addons.
There are hundreds of Kodi addons on the web from various independent developers. However, only a few of these addons offer quality streaming.
We have hand-picked a few dozen addons and put them in a separate guide on the best addons for Kodi. Once you have Kodi, you will want to start installing Kodi add-ons.
Here is a quick look at some of the top add-ons from this list for free movies, shows, and more:
1. The Crew (Movies & Shows, Multipurpose)
If you are looking for an all-in-one addon for movies, shows, live TV, documentaries, sports, and various extras, try The Crew. It is a lightweight addon that works great on FireStick
2. Shadow (Movies and TV Shows)
Shadow is one of the best Kodi addons for on-demand content these days. Not only does it have a huge content library, it is also fetching tons of quality streaming links.
3. Asgard (Movies and TV Shows)
Asgard is an on-demand addon for movies and shows. It is a Real-debrid-based addon with tons of high-quality streaming options.
4. Shadow (Movies & Shows)
Shadow is a very popular Kodi addon presently. This add-on offers a vast content catalog and pulls lots of working streams.
5. Nemesis (Multipurpose)
Nemesis is yet another all-in-one addon that deserves some attention. This addon is doing a phenomenal job of pulling top-quality links. It is an all-in-one add-on offering movies, shows, TV, and more.
Kodi Builds
You need Kodi addons to stream free movies and shows. Kodi builds, on the other hand, are optional. However, they can genuinely enhance your Kodi experience on Fire Stick.
Kodi builds organize your Kodi interface in a more streaming-friendly way. The default Kodi skin is not just dull; it is also not very usable. The builds lend your Kodi a new interface and an exciting way to use Kodi. In other words, they make Kodi more happening.
So, when you jailbreak FireStick with Kodi, I recommend that you also get a Kodi build.
Another great benefit of Kodi builds is that they come with preinstalled addons. So you don’t have to install them separately.
Just like for the addons, we have also prepared a list of the Best Kodi Builds. Here are the top picks from the list:
1. Crew Wizard Builds
The Crew is one of the most popular repositories. It features a collection of builds named The Crew Wizard. You can install several high-quality builds from this Wizard. In addition, the Crew Wizard builds come with preinstalled video add-ons for movies, shows, live tv, and more. Try it!
Install Crew Wizard Kodi Builds
2. Fallout Build
This is another build you would want to take a shot at if you are looking to upgrade your Kodi interface. The neat design and loads of top-rated addons make this build a must-have.
3. Doomzday Builds
Doomzday offers many great builds that work great on all Kodi-supported devices. It also features many popular addons for all your streaming needs.

Recommended Service for Smooth Streaming
We are talking about how to jailbreak FireStick. However, the discussion would hardly be complete until this particular service is mentioned.

CyberFlix TV is one of the best jailbreak apps for on-demand content. This app has also been around for a while.
This app offers a huge line-up of movies and shows. It also pulls the best streaming links from the most reliable sources on the web.

How to get a new App Store for FireStick
Now that you have jailbroken your FireStick, you are all set to start streaming. But do you know you can still do a lot more with it?
Your FireStick has the official Amazon App Store for hundreds of apps. However, Amazon Store omits a lot of cool apps that can make your FireStick experience so much more impressive.
You can install a third-party app store called Aptoide TV on your Fire Stick device. Aptoide TV features a host of incredible apps you will not find on the Amazon App Store.
Aptoide TV is a well-thought-out and professionally designed app store that lets you quickly find and install various third-party apps, including streaming apps and maintenance & utility apps.
I provide quick steps to install Aptoide on your FireStick/Fire Stick 4K. For detailed instructions, please read our guide to installing & using Aptoide TV on FireStick.
1. Open the Downloader app.
2. Enter the following link: firesticktricks.com/store
Click Go.
3. Choose Open when the app has been installed.
4. This is the home screen of the Aptoide TV on Fire Stick. You can start looking up the apps you want to install.
Bonus Tip – Get an IPTV for FireStick
While your jailbroken FireStick/Fire Stick 4K gives you access to many free options to stream Live TV, there are some cost-effective, premium IPTV services you can use for a better streaming experience.
The premium IPTV services are more reliable than their free counterparts. However, compared to the regular cable-TV subscription, they only cost a fraction.
You can explore our complete list of premium IPTV services here, along with step-by-step installation guides.
