Convert sheldon to sheldonp - Fire TV General

Hi to all
I have a fire stick tv lite ( sheldon) but it doesn t convert audio stream to dolby digital, i cant play audio with my amp dolby digital ( no trouble with tank version).
My firmware is 7.6 1.4 (3227)? Any chance ti convert it?
I have read lot of posts, but i dont understand much, need to root to execute adb command?
Thanks

Check out this post:
[UNLOCK][ROOT][TWRP][UNBRICK] Fire TV Stick 3 and Fire TV Stick Lite (sheldon/p)
Read this whole guide before starting. This is for the 3rd gen Fire TV Stick (sheldonp) and Fire TV Stick Lite (sheldon). NOTE: FireOS < 7.2.7.3 required NOTE: This process does not require you to open your device. What you need: A Linux...
forum.xda-developers.com
But this guide only works if the device is on a firmware older than 7.2.7.3.

I have read it, but I dont understand if is possibile to do something to only convert sheldon to sheldonp ( to solve dolby digital trouble), no need to keep root or also, as i will run original firmware

If your only problem is Dolby Digital / Plus passthrough, that should work with the FireTV Lite
Device Specifications: Fire TV Streaming Media Player | Amazon Fire TV
Fire TV Streaming Media Player specifications are provided here.
developer.amazon.com
When you run the FireTV audio and video diagnostics does it report Dolby Digital support?
What's your setup confirmation? Lite -> TV -> to AVR via HDMI or optical?

I think tank version converts ddplus or atmos to dd, while sheldon only do passthrough, my amp is only dd capable so i get only stereo pcm audio ( no dd option in audio whlie watching).
In diagnostic i get dd passthrough capable.
My setup: firetv -> tv by hdmi -> amp by coax cable
Thanks

Ah ok, so you need any DD+/Atmos audio to be transcoded to DD and passed to the TV. I don't know if the Lite and or regular 3rd gen Stick can do that? Maybe someone else can confirm that?
Have you tried FireOS settings / display & audio / audio / surround sound / Dolby digital?
This will limit audio to DD, but I'm not sure if it will transcode DD+ to DD automatically.
The Lite and the 3rd gen Stick are the same hardware, but the Lite comes with a remote with no volume buttons. The Lite can be converted to the 3rd gen with a firmware flash and minor changes, but flashing firmware requires unlocking / TWRP, and Amazon patched the last method in March. There hasn't been a new method discovered since then.

Convert HotStar Fire TV apk to Shield TV?

Be factory reset

Hi,
did anyone find a solution for this problem.
You need to Turn OFF Apps from Unknown Sources and for that, you will need to follow these steps:
On your Mi TV Stick Home, click on the Settings menu
Click on Device Preference
Select Verify Apps and then Turn OFF
If the problem persists, then you can click on Unknown Sources
Then select the App and choose ‘Allow’

If you are having issues installing the Mi TV Stick 4K, here are a few things you can try:
Check your TV compatibility: The Mi TV Stick 4K requires an HDMI port on your TV to connect. Ensure your TV has an HDMI port available and supports HDCP 1.4 or later.
Insert the Mi TV Stick into your TV's HDMI port: Insert the Mi TV Stick into the HDMI port on your TV, and connect the power cable to the USB port on your TV or a power outlet.
Change the HDMI input on your TV: Use your TV remote to change the input to the HDMI port you inserted the Mi TV Stick into.
Follow the on-screen prompts: Once the TV recognizes the Mi TV Stick, you should see the setup screen. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect to your Wi-Fi network and complete the setup process.
Restart the Mi TV Stick: If you encounter any issues during the setup process, try restarting the Mi TV Stick by unplugging it and plugging it back in after a few seconds.
If you still encounter issues with installing your Mi TV Stick 4K, you may want to reach out to Mi customer support for further assistance.
