welcome to cord cutters Ally if this is
your first time here welcome and thank
you for stopping by here at cord cutters
Li we try to help people like you save
money on their cable bill one of the
easiest and best ways to save that money
is to stop paying the cable company for
television each month and instead start
streaming that content on a device like
the Amazon Fire stick there are nearly
18 000 official apps currently available
in the Amazon app store for Fire TV
devices around 50 new apps are added
just every week now that may sound like
a lot of apps but for every one of those
official applications there are
countless other unofficial or
third-party apps that you can install on
your Amazon Fire stick as well the
popular term most used for the ability
to install unofficial apps is
jailbreaking in this video I'm not only
going to show you how to jailbreak a new
fire stick here in 2023 but I'm also
going to show you how to find and how to
install the countless number of
unofficial apps on your Fire TV
streaming device it's fast it's easy and
best of all it's free
so if you're ready to learn how to fully
load your Amazon Fire stick with all the
apps you'd ever want both unofficial and
official
grab your remotes and let's go if you're
new to cord cuttersli where we try to
help you save money on your cable bill
please click that subscribe button and
hit the notification Bell doing this
will make sure you don't miss out on any
new videos as they come out and it
helped to support the channel before we
go any further and before the comments
section below fills up with people
saying there's no such thing as
jailbreaking well they would be right
although the word most searched for when
it comes to Fire Sticks is jailbreaking
jailbreaking a device is a lot more
complicated than what we'll be doing
today with the Fire Sticks the correct
term for what I'm going to show you
today is side loading to enable the side
loading of unofficial apps that aren't
available in the Amazon app store we
only need to change one setting in the
Fire TV interface
so let's get started okay here I have a
freshly factory reset Fire TV stick 4K
Max so it should be roughly the same as
if you were to just get yours from
Amazon let's say you just got it for the
holidays or whatever and you haven't
really set it up yet
so to download and install unofficial
apps you'll need a free official app
that is available in the Amazon app
store ironic isn't it the app is
actually a browser called downloader
you get downloaded by moving over to the
magnifying glass and going down to
search now you can either use the Alexa
voice button on the remote or you can
just start typing in the word downloader
here at the search screen and as you'll
see after just a few letters you will
see downloader appear at the bottom you
can click on that
click on downloader and go ahead and
install it
this is a free application so no worries
after it's installed click the home
button don't open it quite yet
now we're going to get to that setting I
spoke about earlier first thing you need
to do is get to that gear so the
quickest way to do that is move to the
left by going one two three now you're
on the gear click on that and move down
to my Fire TV
now we need the access setting called
developer options normally this is
between about and legal right here
because this is a brand new fire stick
developer options isn't here Amazon went
and hid that on a recent update so the
way that you get that back you click on
about
and then you go to the name of your Fire
TV stick right here which is in my case
Fire TV stick 4K Max but this is the
same on all the newer Fire Sticks
you hit the select button seven times
when you do that Watch What Happens
three four three more two more one more
now it says no need you are already a
developer if this is your first time
ever doing it it would just say you are
now a developer so now when we go back
one now you'll see in between about and
legal in compliance we now have this
developer options click on that and then
move down to install unknown apps
we want to change this downloader from
off to on click on that once that's on
you can go ahead and hit the home button
that's it you've now jail broken your
first Amazon Fire stick or to be more
accurate you've enabled the installation
of unofficial apps using the downloader
browser
that's all that this is this is not
rocket science this isn't something that
you know you need some really smart you
know kid on the Block to do and sell to
you for a high price this is easy and
this is all that needs to be done to
demonstrate how to use downloader I'm
going to show you how to install an app
from the cord cutters Ally tutorials
page to do that we're going to need to
go ahead and open up downloader so do
that now
in order for downloader to work properly
you must click allow on this step
otherwise it won't work so click allow
it's going to give you some information
about what we're doing click ok
now up where it says enter a URL or
search term
we want to put in you could either type
in cordcuttersli.com or you can just put
in the short code which is 893
64
and then go down and click go
this is going to redirect you to
cordcuttersli.com it gives you a few
seconds to make sure that you didn't
typo that code when you entered it
when we're there you want to hit the
hamburger button twice that's the one
with the little three lines there once
and twice that sets it to full screen
mode so you can easily navigate around
now let's move over to the menu which
again is the three lines we'll go in
there
lots of other things here to check out
on the cordcutasli.com website feel free
to do that at your leisure but for this
demonstration let's just jump right into
tutorials you can click on the ads if
you want to I'll choose not to for this
demo
and
as you can see here this brings us to
the tutorials page which has a whole
bunch of stuff that I've been adding all
sorts of applications that are very
popular that you can install on your
Amazon Fire stick and then have it to
and we have a tutorials page for each
one that shows you how to do it
so in this demonstration I'll just go
ahead and install this first one this
fast test killer for Amazon Fire stick
it's going to give you some information
about the application
and then towards the bottom you can go
down
and we're looking for
this download button right there so
click on that
it's going to download it and then it's
going to prompt you with this screen to
install it so go ahead and click install
once it's installed click done don't
open it quite yet move to the right
click delete move to the left click
delete this removes that installation
file so we don't take up space on our
fire stick so that's it now we can go
ahead and click home
and it brings us back here and if we go
into our apps which is right over here
you will see way down at the bottom of
the list if we move to the left you'll
see it this is the fast test killer that
we just installed as I said before I do
encourage you to browse around the cord
cutters Li website you will see many
more apps and things that you can
install feel free to browse through
these tutorials you'll see that there
are a lot more apps there's also some
app stores that you can install
that way you can find lots more apps
basically everything that you need is
easily downloaded with the downloader
app now that we've changed those easy to
change settings
that said whether you use unofficial
apps on your fire stick or not you
should have a VPN to help you stay
connected and protected
right now ipvanish is running a great
deal at 75 percent off the regular price
so check out the link below the video to
give them a try it's the VPN I use and
Trust so there you go you now know how
to jailbreak or side load apps on your
