Those of you who can’t get developers option , go to settings and then the section titled system then scroll to about and after in the about section go highlight “android tv OS build” and click ok on that 8 times and it’ll unlock dev options
I bought this device to see if it would solve the problem of Kodi not working on fire stick, but apparently, it's not working on this device either! I think I'm going to send it back to Walmart, and mine doesn't have the option security restrictions it just says security!? I have the $19-dollar 4K version.
Running code that is not officially supported by the device manufacturer, fits the definition of jailbreaking, it's not exclusive to iPhone. This man is not click baiting. If I install a game not on the tv appstore, it is correct.
Technically speaking it is jailbreaking the device. It's not the same as an iphone where you're completely changing the system, but it's breaking it free from it's intended function, aka jailbreaking.
Thanks, good video. What i'm looking for is the model # you are using and where to get it. Also can you just use the usb stick that has all the apps i presently use on the firestick? thank you very much

Can you help me figure 1 thing out, I just got this new device tried it out tonight, on Wifi It's getting 400 consistent speed, my Cube on the same setup is getting 95 how is that possible, using analiti on both, It's played all 4K files I've thrown at it on my Emby & Plex apps.
When I think of jailbreaking nowadays, it means letting me read, write, rename, use and transfer my own txt and zip files between devices or even between folders on a single device.
Go to Settings > System > About > Android TV OS build SGxx.xxxxxx.xxx.xx.xxxxxxxx once you're hovered over it / it's highlighted, hit enter/center white circle on your remote 5-7 times quickly, and you should see a message appear that says "You are now a developer" or something similar. That's it, hit back button to System and you'll see a bunch more options available.
@@leandretx You need to have them on the same network. Example, the phone can't be using Verizon and the TV using your internet connection with Charter. They both need to be using your WiFi connection with Charter. Hope this helps.

Listen to how crazy this is. This ONN android box was purchased at Walmart. It's supposed to be new but tell me how it was already registered to a Gmail account not associated with us. I had to factory reset it and start over. I'm not familiar with this platform. I've programmed over a hundred fire sticks. I see the layout is different. I can't find where to turn on unknown sources. I installed the downloader and got my two apps on the device. Once I downloaded the app it took me to settings to turn on the downloader so the app could install. I was able to get it programmed but I have no idea how to get to the unknown source. Can someone please help me?
@@UpgradeGuyTech it's probably too late to do that. I programmed it for my cousin's daughter. I just want future information if I ever have to program another one.

@Daniel rooting on an android is defined as allowing the operating system full access to the hardware capabilities of the device. While it can allow the use of "un official code", androids don't typically have limits on running Apks. So respectfully, your wrong. The android tv device has limits to the apps it can access by default, the same way an iPhone does. Jailbreak = foreign/ not official code.
@@LeeVoolHM get off wiki bud jailbreaking is a iOS "term" rooting is a android "term" fits better for the click bait but neither where done on this video just some app side loading
@Daniel by that logic, jailbreaking an iPhone is sideloading apps from an online source, and it's still the same thing💀 1 comment in 6 years and can't form a argument. Crazy.
I didn't have to do all that crap and take that much time just follow troypoint takes just a few minutes yours is way to long and this video is sub par

Thanks _from UK. I bought a box in Walmart when on holiday.
Do a video on the new 4k onn, the one you have is different.

I think I'm going to send it back to Walmart, and mine doesn't have the option security restrictions it just says security!? I have the $19-dollar 4K version.
This doesn't appear to be for the new 4K Onn box. None of the screens are the same
I'm able to ssh to my ONN box, install Python and other development tools. I can run a webserver, AI code, etc. It's like a little Linux server.
So...Allow Unknown Sources and Downloader is all that is needed to Sideload apps on the Onn? Just like a Fire stick and any Android Box...?
Yes
Yes.I have put several apps on mine recently.
@@snave59where did you find enable unknown? I couldn't find on my new one. Thanks.

Can you guys stop using the word "jailbreak" your not jailbreaking you not changing code like jailbreaking a phone

I just bought one. This video did not help me at all.
Can I remove all the apps and just have Kodi on it?
I'd like to know as well 😊
He was right. This was clickBait. Basically have u the bare minimum. Can't even give u anything but the "downloader". What a waste of time.
so is there a way to get the ones you downloaded to actually work? i tired plex and roku channel and both downloaded fine but the do not play.
This ia my problem also.
Don't do meth! Before you do a videos. Or start drinking Dcaf. Sorry but that was a painful watch. appreciate the effort though.
Can't match the energy... I get it
if I add an app using Downloader. How do I find it on the device?????
You need a file explorer
Thanks, good video. What i'm looking for is the model # you are using and where to get it. Also can you just use the usb stick that has all the apps i presently use on the firestick? thank you very much
idk but another tutorial on the firestick used the same exact downloader app
may i know how to fix yputube and google playstore that not working in my onn android box…

Big difference between side loading and jailbreaking
When I think of jailbreaking nowadays, it means letting me read, write, rename, use and transfer my own txt and zip files between devices or even between folders on a single device.
Awesome video always like to see new tips and tricks with my ONN 4k box
Great Video! Do you have to be logged into play store to get the Downloader ?
This guy must love to hear his self talk because he go all around the world to say nothing
You can't jailbreak an Android. You root it.
This 🗑️ video does neither

I would love for you to show how to load two apps specifically like Cinema and Sports fire on the onn box. Please 🙏
I'm glad you broke down the definition of jailbreaking because you really can't jailbreak any Android devices now
Really?
LESS TALK IS MORE!!!!!!
Not helpful !! I was expecting something that made the ONN unique. Guess NOT...
I can't get in settings to go in device preferences
Is the stick any good for iptv?
I've bought 5 of them in the past year for my family and it works great. Get an OTG cable and extra memory though.
Anyone know if you can use this ONN device to Mirror from Phone to TV like you can with Chromecast ?
It has built in Chromecast

Get to the point
What kind of apps can we side load ?
Same as any fire stick or any other Android box
Great except Downloader is no longer available on the play store.
