Sky Glass is an amazing streaming service offering a wide array of live TV, on-demand shows, and movies. Many users are excited to have it on their Firestick, but they may not know how to download Sky Glass for free. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to enjoy Sky Glass on Firestick without paying for the app.
Step 1: Install the Downloader App on FireStick
Jailbreaking a FireStick involves installing apps from sources other than the Amazon App Store. Since FireStick runs on an Android-based operating system, it doesn’t allow direct installation of third-party apps from a web browser.
To bypass this restriction, we’ll use an app called Downloader, which is available on the Amazon App Store. Follow these steps to install it:
- Go to your FireStick home screen.
- Note: Your home screen may look slightly different depending on the Fire TV OS version.
- Select Find in the middle bar, then click Search.
- In the search box, type Downloader, and select it from the search suggestions.
- Under Apps & Games, click the Downloader app tile.
- Click Get (or Download if you’ve installed it before) and wait for the app to install.
⚠️ Do not open the Downloader app yet! We need to adjust some settings before using it.
Step 2: Prepare FireStick for Jailbreaking
By default, FireStick blocks the installation of apps from unknown sources. To jailbreak the device, you need to modify a few settings.
📌 Note: You are not modifying system files or using any special software—just tweaking settings with your FireStick remote and internet connection.
Follow these steps:
- Turn on your FireStick and wait for the home screen to load.
- Navigate to Settings (gear icon) and select it.
- Click My Fire TV.
- Select Developer Options.
- ⚠️ If you don’t see Developer Options, do this:
- Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About.
- Select Fire TV Stick and click it 7 times to enable Developer Options.
- ⚠️ If you don’t see Developer Options, do this:
- Turn ON ADB Debugging (optional).
- Click Install Unknown Apps (or Apps from Unknown Sources, depending on your FireStick version).
- If you see “Install Unknown Apps” → Click it and enable Downloader.
- If you see “Apps from Unknown Sources” → Click it, then select Turn On.
Now, let’s adjust privacy settings:
- Press the Back button to return to Settings. Select Preferences.
- Open Privacy Settings.
- Turn OFF:
- Device Usage Data
- Collect App Usage Data
- Go back to Preferences and select Data Usage Monitoring.
- Turn OFF Data Usage Monitoring.
Your FireStick is now ready for jailbreaking!
