Probably the security patch.

Taken from my 920

It brings us up to 10i where T-Mobile is currently at.

Ant way to block updates on a non rooted phone?

Could we possibly finally get a stock KDZ from this?

I froze that

I installed FOTAKill.apk and have not been prompted about any update.
No root needed, just install like any other apk. I've been using it since I had my Epic 4G.....LoL...... I hate the pushy notices.
Edit: It failed this time.....I just got the update prompt

I got the notification for that but I haven't updated yet.
Did you willingly install the update or did it happen automatically? Can anyone confirm?
I need to know if I should be freaking out or not. I haven't rooted yet but now I think I'm running out of time and need to get it over with.
I have "Automatic system updates" turned off in Developer options. Am I safe?

I'm currently on the NotSoStock modded rom with ATT variant, everytime the update goes to install it gets to the point where the phone goes to reboot and then boots into TWRP. Any ideas on what I should do?

You should stop trying to install it
I've run into this before on other devices. Basically, the phone assumes you have the stock recovery installed, and attempts to run a command very specific to that recovery. Since you have TWRP, such a command is not compatible, and therefore nothing happens. If you were to look at the terminal output in TWRP, you should see something indicating that flashing the update failed.
But as a general rule of thumb, you should stay away from OTA updates when rooted. They are generally not compatible with or safe for rooted devices and custom ROMs. Even if the update were successful, it would unroot your device and patch the update that allowed you to obtain root, and you'd be stuck without root indefinitely.
So in your case, you need to freeze/uninstall "System Update" app (or whatever it's called) and wait for the maintainer of your ROM to include the changes in the next ROM update.
If you're still bootlooping, in TWRP's file manager, try looking for the update and deleting it. I think it may be in the /cache folder, but please do some research before you go deleting stuff at random. You may also try connecting it to adb, restarting in root mode, and running "adb uninstall com.lge.lgdmsclient," or "adb hide com.lge.lgdmsclient." Basically, you need to find a method of preventing the update from initiating automatically upon boot.

Did you have Developer Options enabled, and did you have "Automatic software updates" set to OFF in developer options?
I'm not rooted yet. I'm seriously scared right now that I'm going to auto update on next reboot. I'm doing everything I can to backup all my stuff and somehow safely do DirtySanta without being at risk of updating.

yeah I'm lived right now, currently with out a cellphone untill i test some of the above options another user posted. Here's hoping

Does anyone know whether a phone with this update can still use the dirtysanta exploit to root, or is that also broken by the security update?

Possible Root

Okay so as the fire just updated to 5.4.0.0 and now 5.4.1.0 this means there is an exploit somewhere. If it doesnt have a changelog, Amazon probably increased security.
I would recommend getting No Root Firewall of the play store. Block internet for all amazon apps except Amazon Downloader, and Google play services (this could show as an Amazon app)(This prevents auto updates)
When an update comes out with no changelog DO NOT UPDATE TO IT. AmazonFresh this when they find an error. And an error could mean possible root.
If you did the steps above you shouldn't be receiving updates, there for meaning, you have the possibility of root.

Cancel Update?
Hi,
I installed Netguard and blocked System Update and some Alex services.
At first that kept system updates from connecting and it said: "can't check update" or something.
10 Minutes later suddenly the 5.6.0.0 update shows up and it says it will install when inactive.
What can I do to prevent it from updating?
Running 5.4.0.1
P.S.
Kingroot still not working,
"rm -f /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.device.software.ota/files/*.bin" did nothing (no files)
"rm -rf /cache/*" gives 'Permission denied'
using adb shell

Has anyone tried the root yet?

Does this mean that rooting these is NEVER going to be a possibility? Or a new method is being developed and is not out yet? Also I have 2 HD 8's, one is on 5.6 and the other is on 5.4.0.1. Does the factory reset bring it back to 5.4.0.1?

These have been out for months without a root solution. I would guess it could easily be months more before we find a solution. Or longer, if at all.
Factory resetting will not downgrade your firmware ever on any device. Do not attempt to downgrade manually, as it would brick it.
If you factory reset, it will try to auto update as soon as you connect to WiFi. If you set it up without network access, and then remote the OTA feature, it may not upgrade the firmware. I just did exactly this, and it went fine. But there's no room for error.
Your best bet for root is to block OTA's and wait. As far as we know, there is no root method even under development currently. Although, if I were working on one, I sure wouldn't tell anyone, and get "ETA'd" to death.

Being super green in this field if you "brick" it and then "unbrick" it will that just fastboot it back to factory set points? Also is there a glossary for all these acronyms... it would be glorious if there was!!!

Brick means physically broken, usually forever. As in, your tablet is now as useful as a brick. There are soft bricks where just the firmware is broken, but can be fixed by reflashing (still won't downgrade). But we're taking about a full brick. As in, you destroy your tablet and have to buy a new one.

Rooted Fire HD 10 7th Generation Running Fire OS 5.6.0.0

I was able to get rooted and switch to SuperSU on Fire OS 5.6.0.0 by following this guide. I used the google mirror for kingoroot pc since the link on their website is dead. After installing and opening kingoroot pc, it asked me if I wanted to update. I did that and it updated to 1.5.6. I followed the guide for everything else. I don't know if it works on any other fire tablets since I only have the Fire 10 7th Gen. Hopefully it works for y'all.
E: Based on the replies, it seems like it works on HD 10's only.

This could be good... have to try it.

Not working.
Edit: Seems to work for many HD 10. Unfortunately not for mine.

Should have guessed that .If that doesn't work for 5.3.2.0 why would it work for 5.6.0.0? :crying:

Everytime i goto remove root from kingroot, it reboots.

If we can get to that point, can't we use the root accessed ADB shell to push su and BusyBox to system/bin and push SuperSU.apk to system/app for getting root?

Rooting works as in OP
Device: HD 10 (2017) that came with 5.4.1.0 (updates blocked on router)
Like the OP, I was able to root using KingoRoot. Next, I followed the guide to unroot, install SuperSU, and remove KingoRoot. The only "challenge" I encountered was with the unrooting using KingoRoot. After a couple of reboots and rerooting, I realized the instructions call for unrooting using the PC app (not the unrooting option within the Android app).

Would you please be more specific as to how you use PC app for unrooting?
Thank you.

That was where I was going wrong! Once i Unrooted via pc app I was able to achieve root! Thank you!

Just as you did to root with KingoRoot, run the KingoRoot app on your PC and connect the tablet when prompted. Once recognized, you will be presented with an "unroot" option (don't remember the exact title of the option, but it should be obvious). Click on it and wait for it to complete (you will see a confirmation dialog on the tablet as well).
Make sure you have an active shell prompt with su before you unroot.

Just tried a couple of times for the hell of it on Fire HD 8 7th gen on 5.4.0.1 (or 5.4.1.0 cant remember) but it failed.

Tried on HD 8 (2016) 5.4.0.0 and failed.

kingoroot gave "root failed" on HD 8 Generation 7 5.6.0.0

Root failed for me too for a Fire 8 HD 7th gen

Based on the replies, it seems like it works on HD 10's only, which would make sense cause they have different SOCs this gen and firmware is probably a bit different.

Fire HD8 8th Gen gets OS update to 6.3.1.2

I just now received the 6.3.1.2 OS on my 8th gen Fire HD 8. The build number is 1852.
It's still loading the update, so I don't know if it messes with my launcher hijack or not. Should know soon.
I think the main OS version is the same one that came on the recent 9th gen Fire 7 tablets.
Just thought I'd share. We'll see what happens.

What's new/working on Fire OS 6.3.1.2
On another Fire HD 8 we updated.

Does mtk-su still works? I didn't unlock my tablet yet, waiting to know if it still works for upgrading.

Not with latest FireOS build(s); vulnerability apparently blocked/patched. Can still unlock and root, just no temp root via mtk-su.

Can anyone catch this OTA Update and post the link?

Can someone test out if it's possible to downgrade to 6.3.0.1 via recovery without bricking? If it ends up not booting, you can recover it through the amonet+hardware method.

Can you block the internet access from OTA updates using NoRoot Firewall from Google Play Store
Can you also downgrade it the Fire OS 6.3.1.2 to 6.3.0.1 via ADB sideload without bricking (Wipe all the cache and data first, before downgrade it). If your Fire tablet gets boot-loop or bricking, Get solution: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd...d-8-2018-downgrade-unlock-root-t3894256/page1

Typically VPN based firewalls (VPNs in general) do not function well on FireOS. Are you stating NoRoot Firewall operates correctly on FireOS v6 ... or simply speculating based on feature set?

-> Malware (Malicious actions and performance on your Fire tablet)
-> Malvertising (Malicious advertising)
-> Trojan Horse
-> Spyware
-> Ransomware (Can you lock or encrypt your Fire tablet)
-> Adware (Intrusive and inappropriate ads)
-> Backdoor

Yea, he's posted the same thing in several threads w/o substantiation. I challenged the assertion in one thread but have yet to receive a response.
Might work, just need some evidence it doesn't yield a (soft) brick. Seems strange Amazon would tweak the bootloader given changes baked into 6.3.1.2 and above.

Just to confirm, downgrade to 6.3.0.1 is NOT POSSIBLE using stock recovery (It will result in a brick).

Yeah, that makes sense, @k4y0z, because someone else reported getting a brick. This AmznUser guy, I suspect if he did try it, it was using TWRP. That's why I emphasized stock recovery...

I suspect he didn't try at all, since 6.3.1.2 can still be rooted fine using Magisk when unlocked, no downgrade necessary.
