Depends on what you mean. You say 3rd gen, I assume you are talking Apollo, correct? If so, you may be able to roll back to 3.2.8 & from there upgrade to 4.5.2, which can be rooted.

You need to be on 4.5.2 (or lower) to rollback. If your device is at 4.5.3 (or higher) you're stuck with Fire OS and no root. To roll back start here. READ, READ and READ some more. You won't find many tutorials. Don't expect to pull off rollback/upgrade/root/gapps in an evening. HDX is a tough bird; easy to brick with limited recovery options. Do you homework before flashing anything.
Good luck.
Oh never mind. I got them to rollback now rooted with twrp now to try some custom roms

Great! If you post again please include current fw level, etc. Those who responded (including me) assumed you had a newer device and based responses accordingly. Trying to get my head around "got them to rollback" and "now rooted with twrp". Rollbacks usually don't conclude with twrp unless you start at 3.2.6 or below.
Well it was the 3rd generation Apollo with 4.5.3 on it. Contacted customer service told them it had all sorts of issues he went ahead pushed back a roll back to 3.2.8. Then I went ahead and rooted it using the KFHDX toolkit. Originally safestrap wouldn't boot into recovery until I updated it to safestrap-Apollo 3.75-0s3.2.4-b02. Now have twrp was able to flash thro-gapps-installer1.zip. also disabled OT updated.

Thanks. Some important tid-bits in your post:
- Amazon rolled back an Apollo (!) which they have been reluctant to do of late. No one has been able to capture the 3.2.8 OTA image which would be a tremendous help to users who are marooned at 4.5.x. While it may be too late can you fire off a PM to @ONYXis as he has a method for capturing the image file? Thanks in advance!
- You referenced 3.2.8 and twrp. Do you mean Safestrap which is derived from twrp? If you indeed have twrp installed with 3.2.8 then you have accomplished something that no one else has!

The version of safestrap I used was deprived from twrp it looks like but boots into it and lets me flash and put custom roms on. Just fired off my pm and about to do it for him hopefully I can capture it.
Okay had to do it twice but he should have captured it at least one time hope it works for everyone.

Hello,
Can I ask how you managed to run the update from the settings menu?
I Don't see an option to run updates from there! I too am already on 4.5.3 and would rather like to rollback to an earlier version if it is indeed possible using this rollback file.

Just want to confirm it worked on my 4.5.3 too... switched wifi off first and all seems good !
Rollback from 4.53 to 3.2.8 also confirmed for me!
Many thanks ONYXis, that worked perfectly! I too can confirm that it worked and I have rolled back from 4.5.3 to 3.2.8.
Can hardly believe it was that easy. Now too look around some more to find out what I can do now I am finally rooted.
Thanks for your help.

Just had a thought, as we effectively rolled back our devices, does that mean we will NOT get ota updates from Amazon now? It would be pretty handy if they didn't work oat now. Save is from worrying about losing root access
has anyone tried this on 4.5.2?

It seems to me that a lot of people are going to need help rooting the Nvidia Tablet on Marshmallow, and for now this is what has worked for me so far, so i'm putting together this little guide with information i was able gather together to help others (Hopefully) Root their tablet, so here you go. This DOES work on the Nvidia tablet K1.
DISCLAIMER!
So uh, if your nvidia tablet gets bricked or something its not my fault, so good luck.
STEP NUMBER ONE!
What you want to do is download the rooted boot.img (that is brought you you by castrwilliams in this thread, Thanks man! ) and flash your boot.img with it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi...ndroid-6-0-marshmallow-update-t3247432/page11
(If you don't know how to flash for some reason here is a guide):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
STEP NUMBER TWO!
After flashing the boot.img provided in that thread your going to want to download this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser&hl=en
After downloading it you should have root access on your Nvidia Tablet!
All of this was pointed out my dowlf on this thread and that i made in to a guide for other people

EXPERIMENTAL TWRP FOR NVIDIA TABLET MARSHMALLOW! (by steel01, and brought to my attention by fards, thanks!)

If anyone has anything to contribute go ahead and post below.
For anyone needing help rooting, here is a youtube video that explains it by eob20000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16anmE2I_fc But it is in lolipop and not MM, But still it may help. GOODLUCK!
I've been busy with school, i will try to update this guide with any new info i find soon. Thanks!
I did this method on the day I updated and it ran fine for a while, then it turned to crap. I had to reflash the nvidia recovery and am now back on lollipop rooted. If I do go back to marshmallow, which is doubtful, I will wait for a good twrp recovery or a thinned down flashable rom.

Just got my Shield K1 last night and updated to 6.0. I wasn't sure I was going to root this device, but an app to change DPI would be nice so I don't have to plug in for ADB each time I want to switch DPI. Seems mixed reviews on this working with Marshmallow being so recent,should I wait a bit for a more stable boot image and to root, or is this working and stable for anyone?

As far as i know, your warranty will be voided, but other then that i don't know of any other downsides.
Works perfectly for "old" shield, super stable and battery friendly, I was having problems with touch sensitivity, but after recalibration and reboot nothing to worry about.
LTE is not supported if anyone is guessing.

you won't be able to get OTA if you change the recovery Twrp or cwm, HOWEVER you can install it, it just takes a few more simple steps.
I'm just rooted my K1 / Lollipop & Installed the mostly working TWRP, can someone sum up the quickest way to keep root and update to marshmallow? Or should I hold off for now ?
Would be greatly appreciated...

Is this the firmware for the Kid's Version only? I bricked the Kid's Version after trying RootJunky's method to root and I assumed the 5.3.1 is the same as the 5.1.4 since both Kindles are identical besides the foam case it comes with. So basically when I get my new Kindle Kid's Edition, how can I root it?

I should have come here first to see this warning. Now Im screwed having to send it back to Amazon. Once they find out it's bricked they may still make me pay for it.

Well, who knows?
Apart from the 5.0.1 and 5.1.1 versions, who can be easily rooted because their bugged fastboot implementations allows a custom recovery to be loaded even with the locked bootloader, so far only the 5.1.2 version is rootable and the process is no different compared to what is used to root other devices. In short, you have to find a bug in the software that allows for a privilege escalation, and that's what for example KingRoot does.
So far, no such bugs have been found in 5.1.2.1, 5.1.3, 5.1,4 and 5.3.1 FireOS releases. The first three have many parts in common, therefore they can downgraded to 5.1.2 and subsequently rooted. Nothing can be done for 5.3.1 thus far.

Thanks fmc000, I appreciate the thorough explanation. I think when I first turned in my kindle it updated from 5.1.4 to 5.3.1 before I could do anything to stop it, so there was no way from the get go for me to root my week old Kindle I bought on Amazon's Prime Day. Hopefully this changes going forward. Maybe I'll have to buy a rooted Kindle on eBay...

Have you tried rooting with different versions of Kingroot? Supertool has 4.8.5 if I remember correctly, give the newest one (5.0 I think) a go.
Also try multiple times, in my case it was sometimes the 3rd time that actually worked.

It works. Not reliably, not consistently, not conveniently. But eventually. Many skeptics have preceded down river of denial only to find joy you when root is eventually secured.
Best results have been reported with Kingroot 4.85, 4.92 and 4.96. WiFi must be enabled. There's also a desktop build but the interface is in Chinese.
Avoid 5.x.x builds as removal and migration to SuperSU can be problematic. SuperSU is a FlashFire prerequisite which itself is a prerequisite for flashing custom ROMs on this device.

Avoid KingRoot v5 as removal can be problematic; see previous post. Stick with v4.85-4.96.
I'm not well versed in this realm of rooting, but I've rooted my V20 (H918) and I'd like to update to the latest version possible and not lose root. I think it involves using some kdz file or something and flashing that, is that right? Let me know, thank you.
Wrong, you have to use this @runningnak3d tutorial to go back to root...but so far, even if you are on H91010T, you can roll back and root. ARB has not yet been implemented on this phone, so you're good to use any rooting method you see fit in this forum. Enjoy!

Wait i thought ARB was implemented on the lg v20 already, does that mean if i am on H91810Q, (T-Mobile) i don't have ARB yet?

You can use kdz writter to upgrade to kdz with new security updates. You will not lose root.

Thank you, I'll research this and see how to go about this.
do not use anything kdz to flash... you will lose root! you need to flash a TWRP flashable zip to update and keep root

Thank you! That would've been atrocious. Can you point me to a guide that explains this? I'd hate to make a rookie mistake like I would've made and accidentally update the firmware past 10J.

I don't know what version of H918 you're on now, but if I'm not mistaken 10k is the last one that you can still mess up and still get root back by downgrading to an earlier version, root and then upgrade. any version after 10k will increment ARB to 1 whereby you will not be able to get root if you lose it. that said, the latest version out now is 10s and if you have root then you should also have TWRP. here's my guide for updating to the latest versions while keep root https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-h91810q-stock-rom-twrp-flashable-zip-t3681312. looking at this now, I haven't posted the 10s update file, which I will do now... keep in mind that if you update to 10s that if you lose TWRP you'll be fscked and stuck without root, which at this point could be permanently.
EDIT: 10s is a go! original post updated with link. also removing the older versions from Google Drive to free up space... if they're still needed, PM

Hey, I followed the instructions per your thread and successfully installed 10s and kept root! The bad news is that I did a factory reset immediately after and now it keeps bootlooping into TWRP. Any idea how to fix this? Sadly I didn't make a backup because my microsd card was too small and I didn't have the patience to wait til tomorrow and go out and buy one, really hope I didn't kick myself in the ass and brick my phone. :crying:
Edit:
I was able to find a fix by following these instructions:
"I had this happen to me after installing TWRP for the first time. It would keep rebooting to TWRP. This was after making sure I flashed SuperSU as well. Eventually in a moment of "might as well see what will happen" I rebooted then held down the power button and volume down. Got to the option if I wanted to factory reset my phone which I did which booted into TWRP. Rebooted to system from there which got me out of the TWRP Bootloop."
I also set my phone up again and can confirm that 10s is still good with root! Thanks for the guide and work, man. Much appreciated!
Seems very quiet?!?
Based on release history, they are released anywhere from the 1st to the 7th of each month.
Wondering myself if they are going to wait to release for Google I/O next week.
Monday, May 7th has my bet! :good:
May 5, 2018 is not posted yet. You can download it to sideload on the 4th or 5th from this link: https://developers.google.com/android/ota
May 5th, but don't quote me!
I vote may 8th when Google I/O starts. Also hopefully the second developer preview of Android P
It's always the first Monday of the month. That has not occurred yet.

I'm running stock rooted with magisk. Can I take the OTA and then re-root it again? or I have sideload or is there a different process? thanks

You can unrooted completely, then side load the OTA, or, fastboot the factory image with the -w removed from the flash-all.bat file, then just flash twrp and magisk again when finished. I personally don't like going the OTA route, this is my method every month for updating if you want to have a look :good:

Brother Cyber! How ya been bruh?! Yep, I went back to stock. It should boot, however, you may want to restore your stock backup first :good:
The post three above mine is the correct answer. Clean, easy and zero failures. You will have issues trying to unroot in most cases. Not worth it.

That might be true but in past months there has been official mentions of the monthly update by this point.
I'm hoping for some battery life fixes or, at the very least, not getting any worse.
