Thank you very much. Is this the newer than german bin file? 461013320 ?
Update;
Yes it seems like the newer than 3320 because I didn't get the 'newer file installed on your phone' software version is 461013820 now.
Clean install no AT&T hotspot service or app in the menu.
It is running flawlessly until now.
Thank you again.
during few days , I looking for this file.. Thanks very much najoor.
my phone ( especially google play service problem is solved) is working well.
few weeks ago, I was update with 4.6.1 - 461013320 O2 carrier version.
But I have trouble with google play service. ( gmail, gps working, play store etc.)
I think this version is solve that problem.
Thanks again. :good:
Many many thanks for the update .bin! Updated my Unlocked GSM device from previously flashed 4.6.1 AT&T firmware. Google Services now fully work!
Possible to Flash this Update on locked non US FP?
Great update, solved all the little issues from the German update including Google Play and Google Settings (I had been unable to disable OK Google before to save battery).
Thansk!
This also solved my Play Services issues... Good update!

1000Thanks najoor for uploading the new .bin file, for the Fire-Phone USA Unlocked!!
As some users here, I also has noticed that this new file have a more recent number, than the versions for the UK and Germany...
I also has noticed that with this USA Unlocked update, all Fire-Phone users here, have reported that now the Google-Play-Store and the Google-Play-Services APPs are working flawlessly again!!...
Could it be that Amazon has fixed something, to make the Google-Play-Store work again?...
Since the USB OTG Function is available in the Fire-Phone and only have to be enabled by software, I would appreciate if someone please could check if the USB OTG function is now working with the latest update?
Does anyone have noticed any other additions, fixes or changes??

You are welcome.
I don't think amazon has intentionally fixed Google play store. It is not in their interest anyway for the users to use play store because amazon has its own competing store. My guess is that they have fixed a big that affected many things including play store.
My observation of this update is that it is superior to previous versions in terms of speed and battery life. Another great advantage of this update is that now you can disable many of the apps, including the amazon native and system apps. It makes one think that you almost don't need root...
Another interesting point is that depending on what Sim card you put in the phone it loads a different mobile network menu. For example if you put an AT&T sim you will get a menu item called search for AT&T small cell or something like that. There are also a number of additional features some of which I don't necessarily need; changing wallpaper, miracast, find your phone, disable 4G etc.

100% Agree najoor, when you said:
"I don't think amazon has intentionally fixed Google play store. It is not in their interest anyway for the users to use play store because amazon has its own competing store. My guess is that they have fixed a big that affected many things including play store. "
That's what I meaned, that Amazon has fixed something, that has made the Google-Play-Store started to work again...
Do you has tested the new Bluetooth 4 and if the USB OTG Function works?
Thanks to the OP for this link.
I installed on my US Market, Unlocked 32GB Fire Phone this afternoon, and everything is working great, including Google Play and Hangouts. I have not noticed any problems at all so far, and have restarted the phone a few times just to be sure.
thank you
used it to update my US unlocked phone from the O2 UK version of 4.6.1
working great !
did those who installed the Play Store use the original pack of 4 files , or that latest set recently listed here ?
Used it to update my German Telecom phone, inlocked with code from telecom. Everything went fine. After update I had to change wifi channels to US on my router to be able to have wifi connection. Wifi is ok now. I noticed that with this build I have quick reply delete option in email notification in dropdown statusbar.
Play Store works
just to add to this thread that new package of the 4 latest Play Store files work perfectly with this version of 4.6.1
Thanks
thanx.
It is working for me, and solve the issues in google services.
usb otg
I see no evidence of OTG functionality. I hooked up multiple usb devices, and nothing was recognized.
.I know the OTG cable is fine.

Is it an EU thing blocking Google services?
Guys, I'm reading mixed articles and opinions online and I'm returning to Android after a long time with iOS. The only incentive for me here would OTA updates the day of release. I'm thinking of getting the phone from Verizon and wondering if their updates arrive the same day as Google releasing them, or is there a delay?
Kind regards
Prasad
You will always have a little delay before yout get the OTA, because they are released by stages. I always download the OTA image from google and sideload it via stock recovery. Its the fastest way and you don't need an open bootloader or something.
hells
The way I get the OTA updates, is, I pop out my Sim, clear data from Google play store and Google play services, and then reboot. When I check for an update it will say up to date, but when I put my SIM back in and check again about 30 seconds later the update is already installing.
Only downfall to this method is you have to set up android pay again.
Otherwise you can download the OTA from googles website but it's a pain to do, and it's a big download.
The check for updates issue has been fixed in Google Play Services v12.2.09 or later which is still in beta but I believe a stable version will be released in March. I checked within 1 hour after the March security update was released and had the update available for download. I am running the beta GPS currently.
There is no delay. The pixel series receives their updates directly from Google and can update the day google releases.
Dear all,
This is my first post and I have bought a honor 7x on ebay and I noticed after a few months that I cannot update the phone as there is no system update button. I contacted the seller but ofcourse he was not of any help.
From what I understood( correct me if i'm wrong), the seller installed a custom firmware on the phone so that there is no chinese on the phone. but with these custom firmware, there is no updates. I also get a message upon restart( please find the picture below)
I would like to update the phone . is it possible to update the phone or roll back to stock firmware so I can be notified of updates.
Please find the necessary attachment. Please let me know what I can do as I cannot access my mobile network section( hence cannot switch on roaming) .
i live in Europe and use english as phone language.

You intended on telling us important information with a screen shot. But you are not allowed. I get that. But now we (as a group) do not know what you have , nor what you need.

ok so you get the warning message, so bootloader is unlocked. Means you should be able to modify it.
your model is "BND-AL10" your region is "C00"
there are many full roms available for this model.
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=bnd-al10c00&firmware_page=0
you should be able to install almost any of them through the firmware finder app search play store--- if you have google play installed
you should be able to install almost any of them through the firmware finder app search play store--- if you have google play installed[/QUOTE]
Thank you for your quick response.
I install the firmware finder on the play store but I couldn't trigger the update as there is no update button on the settings system.
Even though I do not have the update option in my settings, I can follow instructions to update the phone manually through the computer. If i understood correctly, I can follow these instruction: appuals.com/manually-update-honor-7x-al-10-firmware/
Is it possible to install another firmware on the phone so that I have the update option and also the mobile network section( hence cannot switch on roaming). I travel a lot and the data roaming is important for me.
I am completely new to this as I was an apple user, hence still discovering android possibilities

don't get a bad idea of android based on this device. It has way more specific weirdness about it than any other android I have had.
There is way to change to other area firmware, but do not try that yet. Your device is missing stuff , probably because previous owner deleted it, not because to version it is.
download fullOTA files for your devices listed model/ region and use HWOTA to install.

Hello, I did the update via the HiSuite of Huawei. I got the notifications on the windows programs. I did 2 update ( one for the system and the other one was the emui)
Now I cannot open google play or any google applications(maps, gmail, etc)
do you know how I can remedy that?
My emui version is 8.0.0
android version 8.0.0
It is a bit frustrating
my google play version is Google Play Store 10.8.32-all [0] [PR] 205344279 (240-480dpi) (Android 4.1+) 5 WHICH I updated through the Hisuite Update and downloaded this apk.
