So I own 2 firestick 4k's and one fire TV edition in the living room when I bought the fire TV edition 2 years ago it ran fire os 5.2.6.0 and somehow output to 4k(HDMI only) I would always check for updates it would say no updates found so fast I wouldn't think it would be checking for updates now a few weeks ago it found an update for fire os 5.2.7.2 but Everytime I tried to install it would say "preparing update" for 3 seconds then restart and it still wouldn't update
Also it would sometimes say to go to amazon.com/tvupdate
As for the firestick 4k i dont know what happened it just stopped updating it used to have a lot of component updates and it's on fireos 6.2.6.8 and I know that's not the latest version of fireos because the other 4k stick is on 6.2.7.1
Pls help

Hey all! I am trying to root my FTV2 but so far without success. Current OS is 5.2.1.0 and I tried with KingRoot 5.05 (which, according to aftnews.com rooting guide should work), which always reboots at 36% and fails to root when I restart it.
Is there any reliable way to root this OS version on the Fire TV box?
Additional question: I have blocked the update servers in my router and subsequently, only the settings app is available on the Fire TV. Everything else is blocked with a network error. Any way around this without re-enabling updated?
Thanks!
Hi, I bought an Amazon Fire TV Stick (Basic Edition). In the initial configuration, after the wifi configuration, the fire tv try to update but something happens that I can't update it. I need help to root or bypass this setup or only this step. I tried with some methods but all of them needs the fire tv configurated. Thank you very much. Bye
My fire tv box keeps asking to update how can I stop this, It is rooted and running on OS 5.2.6.9.
Thanks for any help z4.
Now sorted.
Just picked up FTV Cube yesterday. After many reboots and factory resets, I cant get past 6.2.6.8. I know the latest is 7.x. It tries but hangs at downloading system components. At one time I had 2 of every icon in settings. But a FR cleared that up. I try the update without customizing the cube or installing any apps. Only entered my Amazon acct info. I know back in the day you could ADB in and send over the update file but can we still do that and where are the latest update.bin for 7.x? Thanks
Had same problem with Fire Stick 4K, called Customer Support, and they told me to make my smartpfone a hotspot, connect my stick to it and retry. It didn't work for me, (still in 6.2.6.8) but it might work for U. I have read here and in other forums that it is common that same Fire devices would not get the same update, at least not at the same time. When you will get the 7.2.1.2 version, which is based on Android 9, NetFlix will get Atmos support. Hope Amazon will release 7.2.1.2 for Fire TV Stick 4K too...
Recently I tried install the Leanback on Fire Launcher on my Fire TV stick 4K. It was working just fine for a few days but now whenever I boot it up it instantly crashes. Does anyone know how how I could fix this or what might be wrong with the app?
My Fire TV Stick is Unlocked and Rooted with Magisk
The Firmware version is Fire OS 6.2.8.1-r3 pre-rooted with Accessibility and OTA-updates Patched.
[Thread for the Rom I'm using]
Update: I'm an idiot, I had a faulty version of GMS (from a failed manual gapps install) installed that was causing it to crash. I removed it and now it's no longer crashing.
