Found it!
Hold up + Power button for >5 sec...
By the way, how can I load a Zip file in my phone with no OS and only bootloader + TWRP?
USB-OTG? Can I have access by plugin it directly in PC?

4k Element Amazon Fire TV can't update

i have the tv on its launch firmware 5.2.5.0, and it is pretty buggy.
this tv has pretty much zero dev work going on, so it has a locked bootloader, no recovery, ect.
it has been rooted (kingroot) and had updates disabled.
i reenabled the updates (unblocked from router and fixed build number).
it downloads the update and tries to install it, but it is still on 5.2.5.0 when it reboots.
i tried factory resetting before and after i removed root. (which doesn't remove or restore anything aside from making me put my account back in)
anyone have any ideas?
maybe someone can tell me how to pull a logcat when trying to install the OTA?

well, alright then.

Did you ever get this resolved? I have the same issue...still stuck on 5.2.5.0

I have the same issue with my Element TV stuck at 5.2.5.0
Based on this link it should be at 5.2.6.2 http://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-fire-tv-fire-tv-stick-software-update-history/
I need to figure out how to manually update the TV...any ideas?

To manually install a software update on your Element 4K Ultra HD Smart TV - Amazon Fire TV Edition:
1. From a computer, click the following link:
w w w. amazon. c o m /television-update
A .zip file named “firetvedition_update.zip” will download automatically.
2. Open the .zip file and extract the enclosed files by right-clicking the file and selecting “Extract All,” then following the prompts. (On a Mac, double-click the .zip file to extract the files.)
3. Next, plug a USB storage device into your computer with at least 4MB of available memory. If you’re already using a USB storage device with your TV to view photos or play music or videos, then this same device should also work for the software update. (The USB device must be FAT32 formatted.)
4. The USB storage device will appear as a removable drive on your computer. Drag and drop or copy and paste the files directly onto the USB device, making sure not to put them in a subfolder. Once the files have been copied, you can eject the USB device to safely disconnect it from your computer.
5. Unplug any external devices from your TV, then unplug the TV’s power cord.
6. Plug the USB stick into either USB port on your TV, then plug in the power cord for the TV. The TV will turn on by itself and begin installing the update. It will reboot during this time. Be sure to keep the TV and USB stick firmly plugged in. If prompted, press the power button on the front of your TV to finish the reboot process.
After your TV has rebooted, your software update is complete. You may remove the USB stick and reconnect any external devices. Your TV should download any future software updates automatically.
Unfortunately, my tv still doesn't boot up from the flash drive.
I have tried 5 different flash drives of different sizes.
I am going to write that image file using rufus on a flash drive and see what happens.
Maybe this will bypass having to mount it?
Anyone have any ideas?

I followed the steps and was able to boot from USB, but it didn't help much. (see the pictures attached)
Then I tried again to boot up but this time didn't boot at all from USB...no clue why.

My usb only booted once but my controls were not working, so I restarted and I could never get it to boot off the usb again.

This tv will probably have to be rooted since I get permission denied on everything.
I was hoping maybe to copy the upgrade img somewhere on to the tv and maybe execute it from there.

I am going to try wiping the image as mentioned in the link below, then try updates again.

Damn good news!!!
I finally got the damn thing upgraded, and no thanks to Amazon or Element.
They were both useless and kept sending me back and forth between support for both companies.
This is how you were able to break the Ouya console startup process when booting and it works for Element Fire TV's as well.
So it's a bit of a hit or miss, but I am pretty confident it will work if your patient.
1. Download the following file and put it on a USB stick
http://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-fire-tv-fire-tv-stick-software-update-history/
Search for: Version 5.2.5.1 (Build 577224220) and download that file
Throw it on a flash drive formatted Fat32
2. Connect a usb keyboard to your Element Fire TV
3. Turn of your Element TV by pulling the power plug, wait 5 seconds and turn it back on with the remote.
4. As soon as you see the element logo start tapping on your "Left alt", "I "(key) and "Print Screen" at the same time. This will cause a break and restart the system. You will do this several times continuously every time you seem the Element logo. The TV should reboot about 3-4 times, so you should see the Element logo 3-4 different times while tapping the key combination. At some point you will see a screen that reads updating.
5. The first time you come across the updating screen wait 5 minutes and if the progress bar does nothing, it is frozen/stuck. Once again, "Left alt", "I"(key) and "Print Screen" at the same time and it will restart. Once again you will see the Element logo and repeat the key combo routine.
You will then see the 2nd upgrade screen and you should see the progress bar moving and it should complete this time around.
Notes:
Never restart if it is updating and you see the progress bar moving or your usb is flashing.
Please reply with any questions, successes or failures.
Good luck!

Well, I somehow managed to update to 5.2.5.1. I used a combination of the methods that @Poopiepants74 described in post #5 and post #10. I used post #5 to get to the boot menu, and then I was running into the same error message that @fbuzila had in post #6.
So, I left the TV at the boot menu, removed the USB stick, downloaded and added the 5.2.5.1 update file to the USB stick, put the USB stick back in the TV and continued with the steps to "update from USB", which was successful.
Now my TV has been on 5.2.5.1 for 48 hours and has not attempted to update to a newer version. When I check manually through the settings, it says there is no update available.
I will give it a week or so to see if it 'checks in' and tries to update it its own.

still stuck on 6.2.6.0 here. can't find a newer package to download anywhere*sigh*

20 days later...still hasn't updated. I remain on 5.2.5.1 still.

Anyone know where to manually download the latest Fire OS 5.2.6.7 for Fire TV Edition 1 (Element) Edition? I am still stuck on 5.2.5.1. Since I was able to manually update to 5.2.5.1 I'd like to attempt to manually update to the latest 5.2.6.7

Please follow these troubleshooting steps to get the issue resolved.
@ Power off the device
@ Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
@ Hold down the return button on the TV (on the bottom bezel, next to the power button) and plug in the TV
@ When on the 'Amazon system recovery' screen, release the return button on the TV
@ Using the volume down button on the bezel of the TV, move down to 'wipe data/factory reset' option
@ Press the power button on the bezel of the TV to select ‘wipe data/factory reset’
@ Using the volume down button on the bezel of the TV, navigate to the “Yes” option
@ Press the power button to select “Yes” with the power button
@ Select “reboot system now” with the power button
Please go through the steps and see if that fixes your TV issue.

The only available update to the Fire OS, I have been able to find online is this one:
https://www.amazon.com/television-update
release-margo-54.5.7.2
Build TIME : 2017-06-24 09:27:46
FireOS 5.2.5.1
The latest version Fire OS 5.2.7.0 is nowhere to be found on the internet.
Unfortunately, some apps like Bravo do not seem to work with 5.2.5.1.
I will be contacting Amazon and see if any updates are available.

So after contacting Amazon, they sent me a link to their source files.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/cust...e=UTF8&nodeId=201452680&qid=1564247290&sr=1-1

So if you have this issue you need the recovery pill file and not just an update.
The recovery file will contain the MstarUpgrade.bin file.
Here is 5.2.6.8 straight from Element.
A quicker way to get into the Recovery menu without a keyboard.
Disconnect the power cable from the wall for 20 seconds, while holding down the power button.
Plug the TV back in and it will turn on automatically.
Immediately hold down the input button which is right next to the power button (Pictured as a Box with an arrow), until you hit the recovery menu.
Select upgrade from USB and you should be set.
It's not recognizing my signature file, so hopefully I will here from them soon to resolve my issue.

Same. Doesn't recognize for me either...

Good news Element pushed an update which my TV was able to install.
5.2.7.1 is out and it worked for me.
The TV just prompted me out of the blue to install this update and it successfully completed.

Your TV should have some buttons or multifunctional joystick somewhere behind. Look for that

how did you get in there?
i've been trying to but can't lol
i would try usb keyboard / or a usb male to male cable to see if fastboot / adb is working

I couldn't find the new firmware.
Do you have it?

use : V8-R851T02-LF1V252.011680_PKG_USB_GMC.zip (will be done in 3 min)
extract it till u get a "Update.img" put it on a Usb Stick. Hold power button on your TV for around 10 seconds (while it's off).

Thanks fuqi.
I did the following:
1) unziped the Update.img file to a USB drive, the USB does not have any other file lthan Update.img
2) Switched off the TV
3) Inserted the USB stick to one of the USB port in the TV
4) Switched On the TV while holding the power button
But nothing happened, still the same of screen came back stating "Android Recovery TCL/BeyondTV/BeyondTV.........................."

knowing this plattform very well it is almost Impossible to corrupt the realtek update. mechanism.
there is supposed to come a blue screen with a Progress bar.
either way, you could also try the other v252 zip.

Should I make the USB stick as a bootable first (before copying the IMG file)?

no, just a normal usb stick, probably fat32 needed. i did not try exfat/ntfs

thanks for sharing , i Suppose that firmware are compatible wit the TCL 65P8M ,

yes

I keep trying the steps, I used multiple USB sticks (USB 2.0 and 3.0), tried it on both USB ports and the device just does not recognise it and it goes back to the android revovery screen. The bottom light also keeps blinking while the TV is on and also as soon as I turn on the switch on the power, the TV turns on, the only way to turn the TV on and off, is through the switch.
PS: I'm the same person as smartcard2

did you try "V8-R851T02-LF1V252.011680.zip" as well? since update.img and .zip files uses different update mechanism.
don't want to confuse you. V8-R851T02-LF1V252.011680_PKG_USB_GMC.zip <- this is the .img you tried.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have been trying the V8-R851T02-LF1V252.011680_PKG_USB_GMC.zip
Now I downloaded the V8-R851T02-LF1V252.011680.zip file, but it has many files not one single IMG file. So I unzipped all these files to the USB and tried but still did not work

yea. just put the zip on the usb, no need to extract in this case.

S343 boot loop? After firmware install

I knew I shouldnt of done it. Its just my luck.
Tonight I installed the R112.....V8-R851T02-LF1R112 CFW posted a few days back.
Previous to this I had V8-R851T02-LF1V453.018444 (stock)
Install went fine. Booted up, I went through set up. I enabled developer options and enabled adb. My phone could not find the tv to sideload anything so I restarted the TV. Powered down, then back on. But flickering every few seconds along with the white light on the bottom.
The bottom doesn't work for anything. I found if I unplug it and plug it back in then immediately hold down the button the light will start flashing like its installing a firmware. I tried to reinstall the one I previously mentioned. It blinked for a bit but then back to the same flickering on and off.
No help expected, anything GREATLY appreciated.
I tried to include as much info as I could.
Thanks

First, R112 is not for your TV.
If you can enter TV setting , reflash firmware by "Local update" with V458 OTA file ,posted here:

Hello Stasiof, Thanks for replying.
I fell asleep last night waiting for the file to transfer to USB.
This morning before work, I unzipped all files onto the root of a FAT32 USB stick, put it in, started the TV holding down the button. It flashed like it was updating, but very briefly. I would say about 15 seconds. And nothing afterward. A blank screen still. Was I not supposed to unzip?

Bricked Fire TV (Gen 2 - V7.6.1.4)

Hi - I was installing some external memory, a 16gb Sandisk USB memory stick. The fire cube recognised it straight away & I proceeded to format it as ‘internal storage’. I got a msg to say that the format was complete. The TV screen then flashed & the next thing the fire cube re-booted & all I have is an Android Recovery screen. I’ve tried the mute + the volume down for 60 secs. None of the keys on the remote are doing anything nor are any of the buttons on the fire cube.
Can anybody help or is this bricked due to the software version?

All there is for recovery options on stock 2nd gen Cube's is safe mode and fastboot. Holding vol down on the Cube (not remote) during boot up during the second animated Amazon logo puts it in safe mode.
Fastboot is useless for anyone that's not Amazon because they blocked all the useful fastboot commands like flash and boot.
Did you try using the Cube buttons to select factory reset? If the cube buttons don't work, plug in a keyboard and use that.

Hi - Yes, I’ve tried the mute & volume down button on the cube & held down for 60+ seconds. Nothing happened. It does seem to know when a key is pressed because if I press the right hand button with a circle on it, the ‘try again’ turns green. I’ve tried a keyboard attached via a OTG cable & that didn’t do anything…

Does the device reboot after you release the button after 'try again' turns green? If so, that means that 'try again" was selected and executed. If not, did you try not only pressing that button, but also holding it (long press) after the selection turns green? The typical way the recovery menu works is that the first moments of the button being pressed highlights the selection (by turning the selection green), and then the continued (without interruption) holding of the button (and eventual release of the button) actually selects and executes the highlighted selection.
Navigation of the recovery menu is usually done using a short press of the same button. You'll need to navigate to the other menu selection 'factory data reset', and then use a long press (and eventual release) to select and execute that selection.

Try the keyboard both with and without an OTG cable, and in each of those cases, externally powering the keyboard (using some sort of split usb cable) because power may not be supplied to the usb port while in the recovery menu.

Hi - It’s unplugged as all the cube is doing is flashing blue all the time. When I apply power, I get the FireTv logo & then the Android recovery screen comes up. The cube doesn’t do anything. When the ‘try again‘ hightlights green, nothing I do will make it reboot. I’ve pressed every button on the remote & all the buttons on the cube.
The USB on the back is a micro USB & all I have is a USB keyboard which is why I had to connect it via the OTG I had. I’ve attached a photo. I do have a different OTG cable which has a micro USB input for a power supply. I’ve tried that & the keyboard has power but I still can’t select the factory reset..

I will corrupt the data partition on my spare gen2 cube device so that I can check what it takes to make navigation of the recovery menu work.

Unfortunately, you're quite correct. There is no way to navigate the menu or execute either of the options shown in the menu. You should ask amazon to replace your device.

The fact that the device could boot to this unrecoverable mode at all is a programming mistake that is the fault of amazon or its agents. The probability of it happening seems to have increased with the newest firmware version, as a few others have posted to xda recently with claims of the same issue. If it becomes more widespread, amazon may be forced to address the matter with something other than a trivial discount. You may want to consider holding on to your device in the event that this happens.
I'm still investigating the matter. There is some evidence in the recovery code of infrared remote code support for the recovery menu, but I blasted a wide range of codes, and there is no evidence in the log that any of them are even being received. I have tested the keyboard possibilities thoroughly, but not exhaustively. I may turn up something later but my confidence level is not high.

Hi - When I re-read your Instructions I couldn’t figure out how to do what you advised. Anyway I made what must have been my 10th phone call to Amazon. It went from them offering me 15% discount, then 20% & then 30%. I said no to all & finally after a lot of polite badgering, they have allowed to me buy a new one & I have an email from Amazon stating that I will get a full refund when my cube is delivered tomorrow

Are they giving you a 3rd gen Cube I didn't think Amazon had any more new 2nd gen Cubes?
@Functioner is right, there does't appear to be any navigation options in that menu. Amazon didn't fully implemented the standard Android recovery menu WITH navigation, which effectively bricks the device.
Amazon is at fault here, however getting them to admit to it is another thing.
Regarding my previous instructions. Holding down the volume up button on the Cube (not the remote) during boot will put the Cube in fastboot mode.
You then need to use your computer with ADB/fastboot installed on it, and issue the fastboot command fastboot continue to the Cube over USB.
I don't know if activation of that recovery menu will prevent the device from booting into fastboot, you'll have to see.
Since you are getting a new Cube, I'd advise you skip the mandatory registration firmware update.
