I've already got the play store working an a US kindle fire HD in the UK.
Trouble is its my wife's and she would like it to "just work" i.e. with the UK app store.
Is there anyway to force it onto amaazon.co.uk? I've tried downloading the UK version of software, but as its the same version it doesn't pick it up as an update.

Hi all.
When the UK version of the kindle fire comes out shortly, can I download the offical UK ROM and install it on my USA ROM?,and without rooting my USA fire?
Thanks in advance all.
If you install custom recovery, you should be able to flash the UK update and revert your device to an uncostomized UK Kindle Fire, IF (and that's a big IF) the new UK Kindle Fires aren't of the same 2nd generation configuration of these newer devices.
But I doubt you will be able to.
Cheers

Well if the UK fires havent been released yet, and are coming after the new fires. im going to guess that they are the same as the newer "revised" kindlefire recently released
Hello, I'm just wondering if it's alright to update my Fire TV from 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 to the latest version would xbmc still install?
Thanks,
Peter.
Hi Peter,
You should be OK, please someone else confirm in case I haven't had the latest updates yet.
I had one stuck on firmware and I was trying not to update, but since the great news of hardware rooting I decided to update mine just before Christmas with no issues. As long as there hasn't been an update since then you should be fine.
Good Luck Peter.

If you are not rooted.. and you do not care about rooting your device then go ahead and update and you can still Install Kodi/XBMC via sideload. There's a lots of guides on here on how to sideload Kodi/XBMC.
But, if you are rooted..then DON"T you will loose the ability of root.
Hope that helps!.
I have just received my Fire TV for Christmas and rooted, put Kodi on it with Fired Launcher & am totally loving it.
My firmware version is 51.1.0.1 - Should I leave it or try to get the latest? Is there somewhere that I can see what each firmware update brings?? I do have the updates blocked at the moment.

Did you install clockworkmod? Check out aftvnews starters guide. I bought my 2nd aftv a few days ago, same fw as you but I now have cwm with rbox's prerooted fw. The process for that is a little tedious but not that hard just follow the guides. I did it because I want to be able to factory reset if necessary and not lose root. But there are other benefits (none of which we'll enjoy if we lose root.)

If you take a look at http://www.aftvnews.com/software/ you'll see what changes have been made for each official firmware revision. I decided that the latest root able firmware was probably worth upgrading too. Supposedly they've made fixes to the remote and on the fire TV stick there are video improvements.
If you've got the time I'd say it's worth it.
I'll check out the guides. I did not install CWM, but I think I will.
Thanks for the links too.
i updated to 51.1.4.0 version to fix netflix issues. i dont feel the need to go to the latest prerooted fw
I am currently running 4.6.3 with google service, etc... installed.
If I update to the latest version of fireOS, would I face any issues?
From reading other forum posts, it appears that Fire OS 4.6.3 (463001620) and Fire OS 4.6.5 (465000520) are the same. The only difference is 4.6.5 has AT&T apps. So, if you are asking about updating to Fire OS 4.6.5 (465000520), then your phone already has the latest version of Fire OS.
Ever since upgrading to Marshmallow, Play Store on my Verizon G4 cannot update the Amazon Kindle app. Has anyone else had this problem? I get the message Can't Install App (Error code: -505)
