Did anyone else got these OTA update? I got it today (I am in India, have a GT-P3100). It just mentions "stability improvements" in the prompt before the OTA is applied. Things do seem a bit faster now.
One welcome improvement was this option to change the screenshot QuickLaunch softkey to other things like Applications/Search/Camera or get rid of it altogether. Anyone else found any extra tweaks yet?

I am rooted on a custom ROM, so of course I didn't get it, but those changes to the screenshot button are pretty awesome! At least Samsung listens to us... A little.
Checked samfirmware.com and saw 4 asian countries listed with this update to 4.0.4
Pretty fast update.. guess I'll have to wait here in the Netherlands

Can you crossflash P3113 to P3100?
To answer my own question yes you can crossflash 3113 to 3100 but the phone functionalities wont work (says no network)
Other than that everything seems fine.
did it have english language?
i want to download it from sammobile and flash it.
Yes it is English.
IR Blaster / Peel does not work though as the P3100 doesn't have IR Blaster.

Did you flash it or are you just guessing?
I ask because, I don't use the IR anyways and wouldn't mind checking this out.

I flashed it on my P3113. Peel complains it is incompatible (As the model number changed to P3100 which doesnt have Infrared)
Additionally there is a phone icon on the homescreen which P3113 cant really use (lack of hardware) although you can disable that.
Not perfect, I'd wait for a proper 4.0.4 for P3113.

For me using Kies wasn't necessary. I was using the device while connected to Wifi and it downloaded the update via OTA on its own and asked me to apply it. You may want to check "Update" settings to make sure OTA is enabled. FWIW, I also had a Samsung account setup (for Samsung Dive), not sure if that affects things.
just a quick question!
i got my tab2 P3100 (4.0.3) monday morning and saw the update notif, but dint update to 4.0.4, cos i wanted to check how good i was getting battery wise etc.
Will update probably this Saturday.
My question is will this 4.0.4 work on P1000? i do know that the arch is different, but since the update installs Peel w/o the India P3100 having IR, is there a possibility that this may work?
My device is rooted, ive downloaded the new fw through Ota, but when the system reboots it comes to cwm, how can i apply the update?

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
So this tarball is smaller than the previous, but I can see no difference in it. Quite strange...

I don't think there was any doubt they would eventually add it. Ouya did the same thing. Originally yhey said it was over security concerns they needed to work out.
lost my root...Help Geohot!!!
Damn it!!! I just lost my root. I totally forgot to disable auto update on my Fire TV cuz was enjoying it all customized to my liking. Totally forgot to hack auto update feature. This sucks!!! :crying: It just happend about 10 min ago. Came back to tv and saw that amazon home screen was on screensaver. Knew that I had left Fire TV on xbmc. Went right to settings to see if box had been updated, and sure enough it was 51.1.3.0_user_513011520. So bummned out ritht now. I have another box that is disabled for auto updates, but this one is back to stock features. XBMC still works, just all root access apps are no longer working. Have to wait for root access to arrive again...Help Geohot!!! We need you!!! Yeah...this sucks.

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.

Please check if the USB port is active and allows access to external storage from XBMC. I don't care if I can root as long as it supports external USB storage... 4TB hopefully

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.

AJC, why don't you just install the Amazon Instant Video app? It works on Lollipop, although you may have to update the Amazon app in order to install the Amazon Instant Video application (prior to updating the Amazon app, I kept getting the error that Instant Video was not compatible w/ my device).
I need to be on my wife's account for the prime video and I don't want to have to sign in and out each time I want to switch
Got it. Unfortunately, I don't believe the dolphin browser flash workaround works anymore. I tried it on both my old S3 and on my S5 and could not get it to work.

Since you have installed Flash Player and Jetpack, maybe the problem goes to the update. As the latest version I'm using now works fine, I think you can update Dolphin to the latest version and check out whether it works.
"no eligible devices for app install"
This is what I get when I try to install "YotaMap for YotaPhone" directly from my laptop's browser. I ended up doing this because these apps don't even show in the play store if I search for them in the phone itself.
I got my Yotaphone 2 yesterday and I was thrilled to see what kind of things I can do with the back display .. but .. why are all the fun apps unavailable to me? Does the location matter?
Do you guys have any idea what can cause this behavior?
PP: this happens not only with the "YotaMap" but with many other Yota apps I was able to find in the play store from the browser.

Which version of Android are you running? If you flash to the latest firmware all available apps can be installed from the YotaStore, which in itself is an app on the latest firmware.

Update failed to install for me. I am assuming it is due to me being rooted. Shame, I'll have to see if I can root the update or if not hope a factory image for 10 comes out. Shame we don't have a TWRP and the ability to just flash the updates from there (so that we can inject Magisk again after an update).

Any issues?
Has anyone successfully upgraded TB-X606F to Android 10 and encountered any issues? There are several threads on the Lenovo forum, suggesting the following issues:
- Notifications not working
- Widgets not updating
- Netflix not able to play in HD
- Face unlock over sensitive
- Apps crashing
I've bought this as a xmas gift so wondering whether there are likely going to be issues with upgrading.
I have run into the the system UI crashing and certain video apps only playing audio. Notification seems to be ok. Closing my case no longer puts tablet to sleep. The face unlock seems a little wonky.

Thanks. Are notifications ok with non-Google apps? I read that only non-Google apps seem to be affected.
Also, is downgrading to Android 9 as simple as using the Lenovo recovery tool? Does anyone have source URL's for old versions of stock stock ROM's?
My notifications seem to be ok across the board
