If you head to Settings > Controllers > Remote you may have an update waiting to be installed.
I'm unsure if the various update blocking methods also block this remote firmware, but it might be a good idea to take down the blocks and let this remote firmware through while it's safe to do so.
Good to know. No update for mine, but the amazon urls are blocked at router level for my device.
Thanks for alerting us. But do you know what the update changes?
Edit: ok i read your blog and there you say we will probably never know what the update changes.
The update is an apk file?
Is there any way to capture an install it with updates blocked? I have it blocked and the update doesn't pop-up.
Thanks!
I allowed this update - now my mouse button won't click on FTV Home screen
but work in other apps like XBMC and firefox.
I don't know if it's due to the update or me changing something in Language and Input settings.
I cleared data for setting.apk but still not working.
Anyone else having similar issues after this update?

Maybe this is normal ? ? IDK
the controller update may have been downloaded before I did the "pm disable com.amazon.dcp" when I updated the OS last week. but....... "pm enable com.amazon.dcp" was not required to take this controller update.
fyi

Thanks, still waiting for my remote to get the update!
I hope this fixes the bug in MC4 where you can not get by quicktime events using a Ouya controller. :-/
It simply ignores the right stick everytime there's such an event which is pretty early in the game.

This is an update to the firmware in the Amazon Remote. If you aren't using the Amazon Remote it doesn't change anything.
I have the updates blocked by "pm disable..." and the update didn't pop-up. Anyone with 51.1.0.2 received the update or maybe only with latest firmware (52.1.1.0) can receive the update?
Thanks

I have the updates blocked and I'm on 52.1.1.0. The update came through just fine on both my boxes.
seems like this remote update is for the new amazon firmware and not 51.1.0.2, has anyone gotten a notice to update the remote firmware and is running 51.1.0.2?
I'm on 51.1.0.2 and don't get it

Same. No update for me either, not updating as I prefer the old UI.
I'm on 51.1.2.0 but my remote is still on revision 349. Seems everyone else is on 351 and above. I'm going to clear some caches and reboot to see if I can force it through

The voice remote is starting to get v352 now, but I suspect that the latest software update (51.1.2.0_user_512073320) is a prerequisit for v352 since it seems that the new update breaks voice search on v351.

I see. I believe that's my firmware version. I received the update on the 15th that broke root, Unless those sneaky Amazonians sent another one out. Sorry for OT but did you catch wind of anyone successfully downgrading?
EDIT: Okay, major derp moment on my part. I was looking for the remote updates under System>About.

Don't feel bad. I think the way their handling remote updates is very unintuitive. There doesn't seem to be a notification for the remote firmware, so it just sits there in a menu you never visit.
The problem with the current downgrade method is that it requires root access. So if you're on the newest unrootable update, there is no way to downgrade since you can't get root.
Does anyone know if the update for the remote is stored on the AFTV.?
I have just purchased another AFTV I upgraded to the latest software 51.1.1
That allows root... I then locked down my router, and prevented OTA updates within the device as well. So my question is how do I get my remote updated to 351 or 352?
My other AFTV Updated my other remote to 351, if I pair my new remote a v349 would it update it to 351? Is the updated still on the AFTV, in case someone might buy an additional remote and all the remotes would get updated, that are paired to that device?
I know..... Why don't I jus try it and see? Good question.
While the crowd, waits.....

I just updated from 349 ---> 351. All I did was pair the remote w/349 to my other AFTV device - that had previously updated a remote to 351! So the 351 software is located on the device somewhere.
Now I did the difficult part prove that it is possible. Now someone with the REAL brains has to find out where that file is hiding, so we can sideload it - to be able to control the updates of the remote.
As this is going to be a problem going forward; because you need to keep things locked down to prevent from losing root. I assume we may like to have what ever neat features are added to the remote - (as long as they work with older firmware) !

The OTA update blocks don't block the remote. Even though your other Fire TV is "locked down", it should still eventually get the remote update. That said, I'd imagine if you connected the v349 remote to the Fire TV that updated to v351 it should update the remote to v351.
You'll probably not be getting v352 unless you update to the unrootable software update. I wouldn't suggest trying to get v352 on your remote if you're on an older Fire TV version since the two may be incompatible.

Same thing happened to me. Another post on here has a link to the update file but it only works with IE as far as I can tell (the link opens in Chrome instead of downloading)
I have rooted and done the one click lag fix on my Tab, should I undo all of that before I do this update? I already assume I would have to re-root my Tab after the update...
Anybody have a link to a download for those of us who cancelled our 3g?
Root seems to stay with the update as it does not seem to update the kernel (same version number at least)
There is another thread here with a dropbox link to the update, it only seems to work with IE though
Amazon has updated their Fire TV Source Code page with a new software package: version 51.1.3.0_user_513011520
I haven't heard of anyone receiving this version in an OTA update yet, but I figured I'd let everyone know to keep an eye out and get the discussion going for the inevitable rollout.
Anyone already stuck without root would probably get that update since they are stuck.
They have no choice anyway unless they still use one of blocking methods.
We might need at least one person to stay on the first unrootable version in case rbox or anyone else could find a new exploit or something.
I wonder,what has changed in this new update anyway?
Edit:Amazon,listen to the users of Fire TV and add support for USB Media Storage.
It probably had a negative effect on sales,especially since the blocked root access which was the only way they could access USB media storage using stickmount.

so native enabled usb storage with the update? we need to get that aspect without updating for us rooted users. im kinda tired of the stick mount method. it would be nice to not need it

And I'm assuming you actually tried all the root methods and didn't just assume it wasn't going to work? I know the reports were that 51.1.2.0 didn't allow root, but unless they are lying about their source dump, I see no evidence that they patched the kernel vulnerability.

What other root method might you be talking about. All I know of is towelroot by geohot. Am i wrong about this being the only root method. I sure hope I'm wrong.

I've read that v2 of towelroot does not work on the Fire TV. I personally have not tried v2. I've used both v1 and v3 of towelroot successfully root on 51.1.1.0_user_511070220 and older.
One of my Fire TV's just got the update notification. Unfortunately it's my primary device, so I blocked the update. I'll be trying to get the update on a Fire TV that I don't mind losing root on. WIll report back shortly.
The download URL for the version 51.1.3.0_user_513011520 update is: http://amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuit...ueller-ota-51.1.3.0_user_513011520-signed.bin
Just a bit of clarification as the first mention of USB wasn't clear to me the later posts assumed USB is enabled in this version. Can anyone actually confirm that they have a USB drive working on this latest firmware version?
I just checked for updates and my FireTV is still on 51.1.1.0_user_511070220 with no new updates found. It never updated to the 51.1.2.0 version, was never rooted, updates are not blocked, at least not intentionally.

When you say older, do you mean older as in update 51.1.2.0_user_512073320. Cuz update 51.1.3.0_user_513011520 is not able to root with towelroot v3. Wishful thinking on my part thinking it will work.
I have rooted 3 Fire TV's. All 3 came with software 51.1.0_user_510047320 and I updated all to 51.1.2.0_user_512073320. I rooted all with towelroot v3. Towelroot v3 no longer worked after update 51.1.3.0_user_513011520. That's the first thing I tested after auto update happened. Towelroot v3 state's "This phone isn't currently supported". So no "rain" for me I'll try to find v1 or v2 of towelroot and see what happens.
---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------
Well that was quick...and painful. Towelroot v1, v2, and v3 are now confirmed by me, to not be able to root Amazon Fire TV.
O'well, I tried.
v1 just halts but was able to press back button and get out. v2 and v3 both say "This phone isn't currently supported". Good thing I have a spare Fire TV
In all honesty, as long as XBMC still runs on Amazon Fire TV, this shouldn't be such a total loss.
But when you get your settings and your customization just right, and then its all gone, it really hurts...a lot. :laugh:
Just got to wait now till further updates on root for this last Fire TV update.
Just a FYI. My first 2 Fire Tv's came from Amazon. 3rd one was from Best Buy. All came with Amazon's 1st firmware put out for this box 51.1.0_user_510047320.
I was expecting latest update when ordered from Amazon for sure. That was weird.
Heads up Everyone. Don't forget to disable OTA update for Amazon Fire TV so you can keep Root Access.
Silly me forgot to follow this big rule.:silly:
I was able to manually install v51.1.3.0_user_513011520 onto a rooted Fire TV that had not received this update.
I can confirm that towelroot v1, v2, and v3 all CAN NOT root the Fire TV running v51.1.3.0_user_513011520. Towelroot v3 reports that the 'phone' is not compatible, while v1 and v2 just sit there frozen when you press "make it rain".
I'm currently going through to determine what has changed with this new update. Please list anything you'd like me to check.
Thanks for checking into this update.

Preliminary examination shows that the main bootloader hasn't changed, but the sbl1/2/3 and the rpm images have changed. The image was built on September 5th. It looks like they added german to the recovery. Not sure how it decides german vs english, probably means there is a difference between the english and german versions.

That's a big NO. XBMC does not detect any external storage. I don't think Amazon will give end users this feature.
Only root access will allow this. Hoped might just work, but only way this would work is with root access.
Wishful thinking Amazon will add this feature.
A "no go" for external storage on latest update 51.1.3.0_user_513011520.
Hate being the one know this first hand.

Damn, it looks like the german Fire TV will be shipped with the unrootable firmware
Hope we can find a way to get it rooted soon.
Is sideloading still working with this firmware? Without XBMC, this box would be useless for most people.

Did the upgrade this morning. Bit of a heart stop when it sat at the Verizon screen for about 5 minutes on the reboot, but then it finally brought up the updating apps screen.
Only problem I've found so far is that for some reason, it removed just about every one of my purchased apps. All the free ones were there, but had to go out to the store and re-download all those I had bought. Strange...
Verizon Messenging crashes for me, but if I uninstall the Verizon Messenging app update it will work. Other than that 5.1.1 working thus far.

I have the update.zip if it will help any devs with root or bootloader unlocking. It seems the update is a 2-parter, I have the the first update which according to the description "prepares your device for the 5.1.1 update." Please contact me if anyone can use it
Due to some new policies at work, Rooted devices weren't allowed to be connected to our E-mail, so I went ahead and took the plunge to 5.1.1 without worrying about rooting (gasp....did I just say that?). Anyhow, this thing feels like a new device. Much smoother, more responsive and it seems that the battery life is actually improved. IF Root does come along for the 5.1.1 update, I may root it and just use one of my other tablets for work, but I'm pleasantly surprised how well the NP runs at this point. Also...REALLY surprised that Verizon actually had the 5.1.1 update.

Hi - I just got my NP today delivered and got the new OTA update. Can you provide any of the root methods that previously worked for you on the P905v?

I want to run linux deploy on here to run Fedora or Ubuntu but always end up down a rabbit trail with this setup that I can never get out of

I don't think there's a root yet for the Verizon variant, and I've not actively searched for one at this point. It was needed while the Tablet was on 4.4.2, but 5.1.1 gives me enough control not to worry about it too much right now. Before I used Towelroot, which will NOT work on the new version.

Thanks for the feedback!
I have a specific reason to root and thats to use linux deploy so I can have a fully functional Linux OS on my tablet which would be really ideal so I think the root is still required. What control did you gain in upgrading to 5.1.1 ? Linux deploy needs root and SELinux permissive, from what I can tell, to use a loopback device and install the Linux OS there so I think even if I did get root, I'd still need to custom compile a kernel and to that end, I am not too confident in possibly bricking my brand new tablet. For now I seem to be able to settle on a VNC session to a Linux VM I have on DigitalOcean
i'm totally excited that my NP will eventually be updated to 5.1.1 it's just i'm still completely confused on why my stock (no-carrier) branded NP is still on 5.0.1, when Big-Red carrier is rolling out 5.1.1 to their devices.
I think I can smell the money being transferred to Sammy for Bid-Red's propriety rollout.

I've actually noticed less bloatware, and apps that I couldn't disable before (which is why I rooted so I could get rid of them), I can disable now. I have a 128GB card in it loaded with Music, Books, Images, and on 4.4.2-the device would often F/C which it's no longer doing. I've also noticed that the micro-stutters as I call them, are gone. Everything is a lot smoother.

Mine came over Wifi but I've always had my Verizon SIM in. Not sure if there was a pre-check before downloading.
I'm upgrading my rooted tablet now using Kies (I figure the upgrade is worth risking losing root--but I'm not sure it'll work anyway since I outright deleted Knox). I'll let you know if TR works to re-root, or if I lose root in the first place.

This was not stagefright. I am not patched per this app.

That's 23.11.39. It came out in July.
if theres anything i can do to help i have the update downloaded atm and waiting on my turbo, West coast (Washington) 23.21.44
Dubbed:
"This software update includes Android security update for your Motorola Droid Turbo"
So should we upgrade? I'm not rooted, but I would like to. Also I'm on 5.1

If you really want to root, I'd wait. Potentially there is a bootloader unlock coming which may provide it for 5.1. If you upgrade, who knows what happens.
No one knows when though. UItimately, if root is important to you, not updating is always the best decision.
My WiFi speed is the same it has always been and it's still vulnerable to stagefright.
Ok it doesn't seem like a very important update so I'll just hold off. Are you referring to the rootnija's work on unlocking it?
When you put your phone on a wireless charger, a full-screen dialog no longer pops up to tell you that it's wireless charging (at least, while playing a video in the YouTube app).
It is stagefright patch at 30 mb but it still left 1 vulnerability. I hate vzw. I use zimperium detector

This is what was in my cache folder, as well, in the status of the phone it reads version system version 23.11.39.
This is kinda confusing.

It could be that for some reason you never got the OTA that came out immediately after the initial lollipop release. But yeah, 23.11.39 is old news. 23.21.44 appears to be the number for the most recent update.
it shows as it's applied?

i also deleted and it is only recently that this file shows as an update - prior, i would check for updates and daily it would show that i am up to date.
---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------
the update says .44 but the cache file is 39, and is also 30 mb approx... am i missing something? also if applied, can't i mofo it?

but how did you get it on beta firmware 5.0.3?
everyone who seems to have received the update was not on 5.0.3. I have yet to see anyone on 5.0.3 confirm they were able to update to 5.0.5.
I'm on 5.0.3 myself.
apparently we can root with kingroot on 5.0.3... so depending on how soon things get figured out related to custom recovery... rooting on 5.0.3 then using a custom recovery and pre-rooted 5.0.5 rom may be quicker than waiting on Amazon.

I'm still waiting on the update URL for the stick. I need either the url from os3 to os5, or the url for beta to 5.0.5.

I've been actively logging in hopes to grab the FTV Stick 5.0.3 -> 5.0.5 URL but at by the looks of it someone going from 3.x -> 5.0.5 should be able to grab it first. We shall see... :fingers-crossed:

5 to 5 updates are all incremental, and I have them already. I need the 3.x -> 5.0.x update to get the full system image.
I have another stick on it's way from Amazon.co.uk, if it comes with 3.x how do I get what you need?

Is there any chance these will be urls will be posted, or is it worth posting, or some risk if they are posted? Couldn't we use the url to copy the image and force the update? I guess now that you have the URLs the best things will come, but I definitely want to get my stick to a rootable place =)

AFTVNews used to have a list of software updates and their URLs. Dunno if it still does. Unfortunately you can't force the update, as you need to be able to write to /cache to do it.

ok I saw it wasn't updated on @AFTVnews.com site ( http://www.aftvnews.com/software/ ) but I guess without r/w /cache it isn't as important wonder if we could replay the sw update check and use a pc proxy to push it. I'm sure I'm not thinking of something more advanced than what you already have though so I can stop and await the update patiently like everyone else, and see if you have the custom recovery already. I guess I'm just excited that after all this time the stick is finally software rootable. That hardware method was a little too tight soldering for me on the stick... at least without some other donor device to practice a few times

The software talks to the update server over ssl and sends it encrypted data. Can't be faked.
Just got the update on the firetv stick today. I guess I can kingroot it now, but is there any chance that there will be another root method for these?
Update: used kingroot 4.1 and it said it failed, but after a reboot it was in fact rooted. Next used adb with su command to pm disable dcp and ota

I've been meaning to update that page for some time now. It needs to be completely redone since there are now newer devices and forks due to the dev preview and the voice vs non-voice Fire TV Stick split.
The URLs are no secret. I hope to get around to updating my software page next week. For the time being, here is everything missing from that page for those interested.
