Fire phone with custom stock Lollipop ? - Amazon Fire Phone

NOTICE: this is not sure the true way to update your fire-phone to 5.0 lollipop (it could contain virus and malware)
Searching around the internet and I come up with this link:
http://www.rom-lollipop.org/mp3-0/amazon-fire-phone-6453.html
With caution, I 30% think this is the truth. Because this is the only site I see the firephone with lollipop custom ROM. Especially, they cited the source is from XDA (I cannot find this anywhere is firephone forum here )
However, the way they address it is .... so real. Even with Links, tutorials and very amazing, the screenshot of 5.0 on fire phone (fake photo) ?
So I need opinion from experts and experienced fire phone users. I dare not download and try the ROM.
Thank you

It's fake...

Fake... Please use search function.

amazon fire sd4930ur 5.0 lollipop firmware need:laugh:

any luck?
Did anyone ever respond to your request? I too would like to try updating my Fire phone.

Ok can someone verify the MD5 listed for the two 3.5.bin files
I have downloaded both files 3 times each and they all have the same MD5
DDACA0BF052687995B1F491935024D51
not the one above 75802d1c80418bad618a2f8c8637289a
also My phone come with FireOS 3.6.8 and downgrading is not working out
I get numorious problem's / errors, number one being the phone will not register with Amazon and the wifi is very weak and the app drawer is mostly empty. I'm sideloading the 3.6.2 OS Now,
Well I got everything now but the phone will not register with Amazon with Data or Wifi
I guess I'll have to call them, I'll also have to put the last version FireOS from their site back on the phone 3.5.2

The FireOS 3.6.8 is long gone ... I have flashed / sideloaded nearly every file listed above just to get the phone working again.
Everything works with 3.5.2 or 3.6.2 international you just can't register the phone with Amazon. I have done several factory resets with all the different versions nothing seems to help
Dude, I failsauced too. Stuck on 3.5.2 no registration. Someone post the 3.6.8 update bin for unlocked fire phones.

Yup.. it sucks. Anyway, MD5 for 3.5.0 for mine is also ddaca0bf052687995b1f491935024d51.
easier way is to upload build.prop file (you can use any File Explorer to get it)
With build.prop file we're able to download 3.6.8 firmware from amazons server!
PLEASE: befor anyone downgrade grab that file!
have file now - but firmware is not available :/ so please stay away from downgrade 3.6.8
ok i took a look at my 3.5 Firmware File which one i use for my FirePhone with root (File from 10.10.2014) and it have 'ddaca0bf052687995b1f491935024d51', too.
that means that md5 hash in the first post is wrong.

Based on the patterns for the previous downloads, the link for 3.6.8 should be:
https://fire-phone-updates.s3.amazonaws.com/update-fire-phone-36_32.1.2.8_user_128003620.bin
Sadly, it doesn't work nor do many other slight variations. They must not have made the image available yet.

Gahhh, this sucks. I cannot connect to Amazon after I downgraded to attempt to root my Fire Phone. I'm glad I bought two, because this is so so annoying!
Amazon should have posted the unlocked update as soon as they started shipping the unlocked phone. For exactly this reason!

Have you had any luck with a response from Amazon? I flashed back before the warning about going back was thrown out to everyone, so I've currently got a Fire Phone sitting here with 3.6.6 (anything 3.6+ seems to function) that won't register with Amazon. Unfortunately, I can't even get Google Play to work on this software version, so it's sitting here appless aside from anything I sideload, which isn't especially efficient. My goal was to give this to my fiancé as a Christmas gift (she's pretty thoroughly entrenched in the Amazon ecosystem), but it won't be particularly useful in its current state, obviously.
I'd honestly consider buying another phone and keep this around for tinkering if the $199 price tag was still around, but the $229 isn't worth it in my book if Amazon ever gets around to releasing the 3.6.8 .bin file. I honestly don't see why they haven't released it unless they're considering dropping support for the phone entirely..

Amazon customer service sent me a replacement at no charge. I'm now returning the broken one. As far as the firmware is concerned they said 3.6.8 is not publicly available. If you hurry up you may be able to get your replacement before Christmas.

I am sorry, that is a typo. My "fire phone" decided to autocorrect "now" to "not".
"I am now returning the broken phone"
(also corrected in the original post!!)
I'm returning mine too since I can't register the phone. I called yesterday and it took 20 to 30 minutes to verify that the phone will not register. The phone will be delivered tomorrow.
can someone please re upload the 3.5 system image? the dropbox link is dead. thanks!
Does anyone have a 4.6.1 image they can upload?

URGENT HELP: pre-purchase questions

hello
i read a lot bout this mobile and its price is awesome for someone like me who's ready to purchase mid-range mobile for close price...but i lost with ROMs and i'm afraid to buy it and experience hell with it.
i'd purchase it from chinese online store which provide some ROM supports google play and semi translated ROM , so for sure i must be sure to have necessary knowledge before purchasing .
1- what's with heating issue? is it from ROM or the mobile ? cause i read a lot of threads worldwide regarding this matter, and i dont know if it's reasonable or unbearable all the time heating?
2- official ROM is indian one here which should be ZUI 2.0.093_ST_16081 , so im assuming it's %100 english language which is perfect, but i'm from arabian country so i need arabic keyboard and encoding.
i believe arabic keyboard is easy to obtain once i download google keyboard and add language, but for encoding i need someone to confirm it, cause i want to browse arabic contents from apps like whatsapp or from chrome browser, i want to know if arabic would displayed correctly or it won't be supported and appears like rubbish?
ps. i dont want arabic UI for the device.
3- GPS, i read some threads saying that official ROM is the best , and some/most custom roms have some issues, is that so far ?
4- i love STOCK ANDROID experience, never interested with extra customization whether it was official OEM rom or 3rd party ROM, especially avoiding bloatware as possible, who's giving me such a STABLE experience, is it... ?
A- official indian rom?
B- official 3rd party ROMs like cosmic-os 7.1.1_20170317_1.4 , CitrusCAF-3.1-TANGERINE or mokee MK60.1-z2-170413-RELEASE ?
i know there's other roms like lineage , but i wont use something unofficial.
5- is this the correct official indian rom that if installed, would support OTA and receive nougat in may? Z2132_Q01017.1_M_ZUI_2.0.093_ST_160811
sorry for long thread , please help me ASAP if possible, shipping is taking 3-4 weeks so i must order soon before offer/stock finish.
regards
First of all, hey there, glad to know you're wondering buying this phone. Actually, it's not a mid-phone, I guess, 'cause many other (like Huawei P9 Lite, Galaxy S6 Edge) phones are weaker than the ZUK comparing their specs.
1. Not sure where you have read about heating, but I'm not having such a problem. Using stock China version Nougat ROM just with unlocked bootloader and rooted. I haven't tried any custom ROM yet, so cannot answer if it heats with custom ROM. So to conclude, the heat depends not only on the phone itself or the ROM that's installed, but it's important where you'e living too, e.g. in hot countries or so increases your phone temperature.
2. Yeah, after everything you can set up your own language using G-board, btw, encoding is fine, I'm Lithuanian and it has many letters that other countries doesn't have, for example, ąčęė and so on, and the phone displays it perfectly, just unsure how recipient sees it, but I assume it's upon recipients' phone settings.
3. It makes sense - Custom ROM aren't officially released and it's created by some developers; and this is the reason why some custom ROM may have certain problems. On the other hand, GPS /w official ROM works flawlessly.
4. About bloatware.. There's lots of it on stock ROM. Some of them you can delete, some of them you cannot. The only way for now is to unlock your bootloader (otherwise you won't be able to root your phone - and I don't know why when many other phones can be rooter without unlocking bootloader, but whatever..), then root your phone and remove manually using some kind of app (System APP Remover, etc) or just download AdAway. It's all upon you.
5. Nougat is already released, you should receive it either with China or Indian version ROM. But yeah, you must be on that kind of stock version that you've written (I upgraded from that version to Nougat)
If you've any other questions quote me, 'll give a try to answer ASAP.

indian firetv stick

i have seen the threads here and i am not able to understand some things
I have recently bought Amazon Firetv Stick.
whether we can root the indian firetv stick? If so how?
If root is possible, can i flash some custom roms?
All/latest FTV2's that where release last year have never been rooted. Regardless of the market. And even FTV1'S, FTV2'S & FTVS1's on the last few FW's have never been rootable since last year.
Keep an eye here to see if any device becomes rootable:

T807t on 5.0 can I flash Turkish stock 6.0?

Hey there
I'm looking for stock marshmallow for our tmobile galaxy tab s on rooted stock 5.0 t807t.
The only marshmallow I see is for the t807a or the Turkish 6.0.1 for the t807 on sammobile.
What'll happen if I flash the Turkish 6.0.1 on this tmobile tablet?
If not Turkish, does anyone have any suggestions for something close-ish to stock?
Thanks In advance
A pity that often in forums to interesting questions, no replies follow. Unfortunately I cannot really contribute either except for essentially asking the same question.
I have the same tablet and would like to update it to Marshmallow but I am not sure whether the T807T version is technically the same as the non-T one.
Since your posting is already from several months ago - have you gone forward in the meantime and tried to flash it with that Turkish 6.0.1 firmware?
Same question
So funny,
No responses from my OP so I decide to give up.
2ish years later I ended up Googling about how to do this, taking another shot, and it brings me to the thread I created lol.
Right before I got back here I found a thread on lineage os that REQUIRES this SPECIFIC device (t807t) to be flashed stock 6.0.1 before proceeding with lineageos install.
Which to me brings me some hope that this old bird may have another go round.
I'm not the authority on lineageos, I don't actually know who maintans the wiki but check this out...
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/chagalllte/install
I'm Going to reach out to the guy who wrote that over at lineage Hopefully he can shed some light.
I wouldn't dare expect a Supreme xda mind to help with such a lowly request.
Yeah, "funny" as in dreadful irony.
I've already given up on seriously attempting to update this sadly orphaned tablet and considering that the most bothersome issue - the lack of any decent screen calibration - won't be addressed by Marshmallow either, it's probably not worth the trouble anyway.
At leastmy personal android update experience taught me that even if one or two things are a bit nicer or "better" in the new version, this often comes at the cost of at least the same amount of features not working anymore like they used to do before.
Same issue here. I had a proper 6.0.1 file for the t805w but now on updato all I get it a 5.0.2 firmware posing as a 6.0.1.
I flash it and still on LP.
does anyone know of anywhere where the proper 6.0.1 files are located. I'm registered on updato and sammobile amongst a few others I now regret registering on

Need Custom ROM for Huawei MediaPad M2

I would like to request for a custom rom MediaPad M2-A04LV100R001C137B022
I have followed this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nd-root-your-huawei-mediapad-m2-8-10.3322340/
to root my tablet but all the links are dead.
Please any help would be really appreciate
I'll 2nd that request, specifically for 802L.
Considering the current state of electronics supply chains (semiconductors) and the aging and/or boring tablets on the market ATM, this may be a good time to kick start a custom ROM for this device.
I have a developer background and would be keen on trying a "roll your own" ROM but have questions before I get started:
Considering the age of the last software release (ROM) provided for 802L, would the current drivers work with the latest Android kernel?
Can anyone suggest a helpful 'roll your own' guide (noting I'll be searching XDA forums myself, but recommendations can sometimes speed this process up a bit)?
There has been (what appeared to be) a custom ROM some time ago. I'd love to hear from the developer (ajsmsg78) and what they may suggest moving forwards (if that is a good idea to do so considering my first point above).
It may take me a while to get started as I don't want to brick my device, and I don't have the "unlock OEM" option in my developer menu either (looks like KingRoot may be the way... if it still exists).
Any guidance for this n00b would be greatly appreciated.
It's a shame that my m2-802L, although more capable than my newer Samsung tab A 2017, has to be obsoleted because of the outdated Android OS! So an updated custom firmware would be great.
Would live to revive this table/phone as well.
M2 10 lte
M2A01L custom firmware neded too
great i am looking forward to a custom rom for this device
