Hello,

Just like many of you I hate the latest 6.4.2 version of Plex on FireTV so I’ve decided to find a way to downgrade it to 6.4.1.1644. which was the latest version with a nice GUI.

Tested on my 1st and 2nd Gen FireTV 5.7.3-20.

Note: You can leave your stick plugged into the TV

BEFORE STARTING MAKE SURE YOUR PC/MAC IS CONNECTED TO THE SAME WIFI YOUR FIRETV STICK IS

On FireTV stick go to:

Settings -> Applications -> Manage Installed Applications -> Plex -> Uninstall (I’ve also cleared cache and data but it will work without as well) Settings -> Developers Options -> ADB debugging (set to ON), Apps from Unknown Sources (set to ON) Settings -> About -> Network -> make a note of the IP Address of your stick, you will need it Settings -> Applications -> Appstore -> Automatic Updates (set to OFF)

Now, if you are on Mac (which I am) you can download the zip I’ve attached and:

cd /Mac (directory with the files downloaded)

./adb kill-server

./adb start-server

./adb connect [IP from step 3]

./adb install com.plexapp.apk

./adb disconnect [IP from step 3]

and skip steps 5 and 6

OR

Download the 6.4.1.1644 version of Plex app from: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/plex-inc/plex/plex-6-4-1-1644-release/ on your PC or Mac Download PC or Mac version of ABD (Android Debugging Bridge) from https://cordcutting.com/how-to-sideload-fire-tv-apps/ and follow the steps to install the app downloaded in step 4.

Note: The app will take a minute or two to install and it will show on the FireTV instantly without a need to restart it.

Disable options enabled in step 2.

It definitely works as I’ve just done it on my 2nd Gen FireTV and pleased to see the old GUI !!!

Hope it helps
