OTA Updates
These are the smaller, OTA packages. Do not use this if you are rooted. If they do not appear automatically on your phone, you can download the corresponding OTA and update your phone manually by placing the OTA zip on your SD card renaming the OTA zip to:
Code:
MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
Then go into the stock recovery by holding the volume up key while powering it on. Once the phone vibrates, release the Power Key but continue holding Vol Up. Then click Vol Down until the Box in the top says "Recovery". Click the Power button once to install it. Don't forget to delete the update after it is finished.

Pre-Root Firmware
These are generally used to restore the /system of a rooted phone before applying an OTA update. Having a modified /system often will lead to a bootloop, so flashing the Pre-Root system.img and other parts is recommended. Be careful to choose the correct model and firmware on the right. Use WinRAR to connect all of the system.img parts together.

This method actually worked for me when I rooted with the one-click tool. It also keeps root after update.

It caused some people to bootloop who had modified lots of parts on their /system and deleted lots of apps. Best to be safe and flash the pre-rooted images first.

Ok, I normally just freeze the bloat with Titanium Backup that I don't want and I haven't done an insane amount of /system modding

The unfortunate thing is that certain apps revive after an Ota.

The way that the update-script in the OTA works is that it checks the integrity of the /system apps and then installs a newer version of it that is included in the OTA.

Btw if you unroot your stock rom and you have not messed with the system partition you can flash the ota's in twrp just fine no need to use the stock recovery or rename them

i wanna asking in zenny . how to turn off the vibrate when the popup battery 15% showed? thanks !

Can I root or downgrade?

Discussion about the Google Sheet
Fire OS 5.3.1.0 was the last rootable version for all Fires,
except the HD 10.
Do not attempt to downgrade. - 7th Oct 2018
Fire OS 5.3.1.0 can be rooted but not rolled back.

5.1.4, 5.1.3 and 5.1.2.1 cannot be rooted (31 May 2016)
but both can be downgraded to 5.1.2 (see restore firmware with stock recovery)
5.1.2 can be rooted by Kingroot
Kingroot thread KingRoot thread
then see rootjunky's supersume video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O3DcpeS_Ic
or manually install supersu with a terminal emulator
http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How-to-Remove-Replace-KingUser-KingRoot-with-SuperSU.html
Word of caution: do NOT reboot after running SuperSume; device will soft brick. Immediately start FlashFire and proceed with rom install. This condition does not apply when using Root Junky's approach/tool to replace KingUser with SuperSU. Also note SuperSU is a prerequisite for using FlashFire on FireOS.

Internal USB port
I'm thinking the internal USB was likely an aborted attempt to add NFC functionality the this thing. I'm wanting to build a case to add 2 external USB host ports without adding more than a half an inch or so to the depth. This should also let me add a secondary battery to the unit. If the internal usb is device only I might be able to bring that out and just use it for charging and connecting to my PC.

One more rom, SLimLP

The band 12 enable and OTA disable methods here don't work. OTA enables itself again at boot and band 12 setting also resets itself at boot.

I have a stock TWRP backup of all partitions except data and cache, for the amazon prime variant 16gb, if you would like to add a link somewhere. - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4SWkDc6OnebamY5MlhtaGg0blU

There is already one in the Rootjunky downloads folder on their site but thanks anyway. Also that section is intended for firmwares that are to be flash in stock recovery.

Original link for the OTA update (Prime 6.1 to 6.4) posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67794899&postcount=140
Original post on disabling OTA updated, should now survive reboot, and hide the update option in the settings.

Well it is hosted on a weird website, but this is the direct link that the phone OTA software (fota, which is known to be terrible) use (captured with Wireshark). It can easily be verified.
It seems the real manufacturer of the phone is "tinno" http://www.tinno.com/En/Profile/Index.html and lot of the internal apps / update files use mirrors on http://www.jstinno.com too.

Okay then.
Also does anybody happen to have/know where the OTA files for the non-prime version are?

I don't but I would love to see it to be able to compare both versions.
Do we know if someone tried to restore a non-prime nand backup over a prime version?

Anxiously waiting.... this will be my first Android ROM replacement.

Updated the original ad removal post with TWRP install files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67892852&postcount=567 link on the index still valid.
This updated method remove the need of wiping the data and will remove all ads, even the one currently displayed on the lock screen.
Root or exposed are not required (only TWRP obviously) so it won't affect the device security.
I created 2 scripts, one to clean everything, the other one leave the Underground app store in the system.
If you use it a lot, it's nice as it will update the apps automatically without the need of allowing unknown sources.
OTA are disabled by renaming the updater. Safer than the previous method (pm disable and pm hide), and safer than deleting if we need it later.

Fire TV Stick 2 Firmware and apps. Official Cloud Front direct links

@rbox, @0815hoffi, @Sus_i, @Kramar111, @k4y0z, @Ighor, @Pretoriano80 and others,
Let's do a thread similar to 4k. Please contribute the cloudfront links you have for other versions. Sharing is caring!
Let me seed a few links, the 2 very early ones are extracted by me, some are from this thread ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fire-tv-stick-2-tank-prerooted-stock-images-5-2-7-3_r1.3912271/ ). Here is a rough guide for which is which for the early versions:

I could not chase the official link to this one ... Amazon does not send it in a sequence of updates. I am using a cloned Version 5.2.4.2 (Build 574263220) of my purchased Fire stick, it's nice and lightweight. It needs a new com.amazon.venezia.apk though, otherwise the apps don't show up properly in the official Fire launcher.
