Thank you. I was just wondering, because I were thinking about buying a Fire HD 10 for root, if someone knows about this, please tell here, because I'm not buying another unrootable tablet.

As of the moment, it appears the newer versions discussed, were OTA installs. So far, I have had 3. First one broke, second one was defective and I have my current one. All of them are and were rootable out of the box. I would be absolutely surprised if any of the ones currently on shelves, have a FireOS above 5.6.0.1. My first one came on 5.5.0.0. The other two, 5.6.0.0. My current one is on 5.6.0.1, but came with 5.6.0.0.

Next Monday (7/16) is Amazon Prime Day. I am considering picking up an HD10, if it is on sale @ $99.00 and still rootable.

These tablets are shipped from China, so even the latest stock was probably manufactured 2-3 months ago. It is likely that new stock will come with 5.6.0.1 or possibly 5.6.1.0 installed, both of which are rootable. I have only seen a couple of reports of OTA updates later than 5.6.1.0 to date, so I would be amazed if any tablet bought on prime day would have later software than 5.6.1.0 installed.
To add, my HD10 (purchased in mid March) came with 5.6.0.0 installed. The screen had a defect so I returned it a couple of weeks later. The new replacement was shipped in April: this came with 5.6.0.1 preinstalled.

Anyone getting updates on 64GB USA?

I'm confused about what update is out and for which phone model? My device has been acting a bit finicky at times...
I have build NPN25.137-33
Please provide link to update if ones available to flash manually (non rooted).
BTW anyone notice that retailers are already discontinuing carrying this phone?
I think the G5S is literally about to be released. Seems a bit odd. Also kind of sucks that this phone will be outdated so quickly...
I'm on day 7 of owning this... Should I return it?
I'd like to know myself!
I'm happy so far, owned for a month, nice upgrade from my moto e.
There is a TWRP flashable of the -67 update, works great on the US 64gig version

The new Motorola phone is the Moto Z Play 2, not a G Series phone. Z Series is more expensive (guessing $150 more), but with better features. Also not yet available for retail sale.

Yes...saw all that. Nothing about an actual release date yet though. All still rumors and leaks. I was more focused on something available now, which was what the tangent discussion was about. Sorry for any confusion on my part.
No worries. I do think it'll be released soon. None of the best buys in my city are carrying any version. That's over 10 best buys. So if put money on it releasing this month.
I decided to go ahead and return this though. Kind of frustrated that it only has a January security patch, and still 7.0, despite it being released in February....
Got a cool deal on Swappa for $280 on a mint Axon 7 today. They've been getting regular updates, and have a great dev community!
Specs are much better too. I do love the fingerprint navigation on this Moto though. I'll miss that!
I just got mine at my local Costco the week before last, and their return policy is 60 days, so...
Crazy how this phone has only been out for a few months and Moto is already putting out a new phone. That's way to fast.
Back to the original question, has anyone in the US got the over the air update? I always root but I'm not ready yet. I'm hoping the new update-67 will fix some bugs and update the security.

Title says it all I know the new hd 10 was released not long ago and the forum seems basically dead but I'm hoping someone is still quietly working along for this tablet I just ordered mine last night! And I'm excited I previously owned one of the original rootable fire 7 loved it too peices the same with my Shield K1

Nvidia shield won't update to 8.0 :(

Hi everyone, I was hoping someone could help me.
I've been enjoying my nvidia shield thoroughly since I purchased it second hand a few months ago, I can't fault it however I was made apparent that I could update it to android 8.0 with a new home screen which I would quite welcome to replace my current but unfortunately when I click update it says its up to date.
I'm wondering if my device is rooted or something, maybe this would cause it? My model number is p2897, it is my understanding I have the 2017 version which I presume is compatible with the new update?
If someone could assist I would be very grateful,
cheers.

You're not "missing" anything. The launch/roll out of 8.0 hasn't happened yet.
They rolled 8.0 out to a few (mainly pre-release testers) and quickly found out that there were some serious bugs. Nvidia stopped the official launch to fix the issues

Now. Germany.
They've retarted the rollout again. Just gotta wait for it now. I don't know if pre-release testers will see the update before everyone else or not.

Take that with a huge grain of salt. 4th gen HDX was discontinued in 2015. Ignorant Amazon reps said the same thing about FireOS v5 coming to 3rd gen HDX. Never happened. I could see FireOS v6 coming to 7th gen HD 8/10 devices. Nothing older.

Meanwhile the current Android version is 9.00, so it would only be behind 3 versions not 4.

Nope and nope (with the latter being a non-starter given device age).
