FireOS 5.4.0.1

As of August 25 or 26, 2017, the current updated FireOS version is 5.4.0.1. Last build date prior to this was on May 31, 2017. As of this post, the updated OS is not yet available on Amazon's site.
Please comment if you receive any errors when attempting to 'uninstall' Amazon Apps, whether automatically or manually. Some users report errors.
Please download Droid Examiner or Droid Hardware Info or a like minded app (these types of apps vary from developer to developer. I use these two primarily).
Droid Examiner: Tap build and look at the time. It will have the date of the last build updated to your tablet.
build.prop (/system/build.prop): Look for these values. Please post dates and versions if possible. Last Kernel patch for 5.4.0.0 was for June 2017.

Yes, 5.4.0.1 broke the junkware uninstall process referenced in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/root-required-remove-amazon-bloatware-t3636796
As the "pm uninstall --user 0 xxx.yyyyy.zzzzzz" command runs, you get
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
after every line.

What a shame. I wonder why it took them so long?

Is it possible to downgrade a 2017 model back to 5.4.0.0 and disable the OTA updates? I never understood that needed to be done and now it's probably too late.

5.4.0.0 CAN be downgraded to 5.3.2.1, but NOTHING lower or you will brick. i am not sure if the model matters or not.

How about 5.4.0.1? I want to downgrade so I can install Play Store and Titanium Backup to uninstall all the crap.

I was able to install Play Store and have it working but still not satisfied with all the other restrictions!!! I returned it yesterday! I suggest you get a normal Android tablet and not this crappy locked up Fire tablet!
Let me know if you still need to know how to install Play Store...
Titanium backup will not work on 5.4.0.1 because it doesn't have root and you need root access to run TB. *SIGH*

If it works, put the file linked above into your ADB folder. Then you would power off device, reboot to recovery, press and hold volume down first then press power button (hold both at the same time) until you see the Amazon logo. On the recovery screen, select ADB update. From an ADB window, type:
adb sideload name.of.file
A few users said they hard bricked their tablet trying to downgrade. So be careful. Not sure if true or not, but just warning you.

Thanks for the response, and the warning. I am definitely curious if this would work, but perhaps I will hold off until someone braver can confirm that this works or doesn't.
If anyone out there has tried downgrading 5.4.0.1 to 5.4.0.0 successfully, by side-loading 5.4.0.0, please let me know.

Users are reporting that a Fire 7 (current generation) running FireOS 5.4.0.1, CAN be downgraded to 5.4.0.0. It appears the HD 8 CANNOT be. However I am not sure how this is possible. Maybe someone with a bit more knowledge about the specifics can chime in.

The Fire 7, 7th generation apparently can be downgraded yes.

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.

Trying To Root Pixel 2

Ok I have the bootloader unlocked.
I was hoping then I could do the following
ADB Debugging on
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-1-fastboot-sailfish.img
But its not booting it. Pixel TWRP Image
So my question is can i modify the image to make the pixel 2 boot it?
Please advise?
Can I root without using TWRP?

What makes you believe that TWRP for the original Pixel will work on the Pixel 2? Likely you'll have to wait for a recovery for the Pixel 2.

Yeah I understand that. I was just hoping that since they are so similar it would work. Especially since I am not going to install it on my recovery just boot it to root and suhide.
I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something or something I could change in the image to make it boot on a 2 .
Thanks though for your thoughts!

The MSM in them is totally different. Plus panel config, clock plan, power grid etc. Your original recovery kernel will not boot on Pixel2, so this is completely expected.

Yes. I agree. Might be me right. I wasn't planning on flashing recovery though just booting it.

If you are feeling adventurous (as it seems you already are!) you might try the twrp-3-1-pixel-bootable-mod.img located here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120753892 ? I used the instructions at https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-how-to-systemlessly-root-pixel-xl-t3660324 to root the 2016 Pixel (not xl) and if I upgrade to Pixel 2 might try that. You might just try fastbooting the twrp img referenced there and then flashing the supersu referenced there without the other modifications GroovinChip did. Again you are taking a risk trying this on "dissimilar" hardware.

If your bootloader is unlocked and you want root.
Try installing Chain fire's Supersu from the play store or install the apk.
I do not have my P2 yet to try.

I think this may be a waste of time because it was modded to work on Oreo. They have already released a version that works on Oreo 3-1-1 that I already tried it wouldnt boot it. I will probably just wait even though i want to play. So i guess I can just say yep I have a pixel 2 with the bootloader unlocked and thats about it.

Yeah, I take having root completely for granted. I guess I've never bought a phone right at the moment of release before. If I didn't really need a new phone, I suppose I would have waited. Anyway, I figured out that you can block ads, without root, with apps that run all your traffic through a vpn (that's really only running locally on the phone). The best options after much research seem to me to be Netguard and AdGuard (though I haven't tried them yet). They both also include a firewall (Netguard is primarly a firewall), which I want.
https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/ADBLOCKING.md
https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html
DNS66 also seems to be higly regarded, but it doesn't include a firewall. There are other firewall only apps, which work with the VPN method, but you can only run one VPN on Android at a time, so if you want both functions, without root, you need an app that does both.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-dns66-source-host-ad-blocker-root-t3487497
Anyway, that's my plan until root comes along. Then I will go back to AdAway and AFWall+.

There is no kernel source released for the Pixel 2/XL yet. It is based on the 4.4 kernel, this should make development very smooth.

[GUIDE] How to install Internal Android 10 build for Nokia 7 Plus

If you want to repost this internal OTA to other websites (other than XDA itself), please ask me for permission, thanks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
WARNING!
This is early internal test build, so LATER OTA UPDATES CAN'T BE GUARANTEED!
If you don't have unlocked bootloader, you'll unable to roll back to stable build!
Please be careful when testing!

Now I think it's time to bring you back to canary labs faster than beta labs.
Internal build version: B2N-4040-0-00WW-B01
It will be updated from: B2N-354K-0-00WW-B01, which is not pushed to public
As I've warned before - having an unlocked bootloader is strongly recommended.
So recent builds removed handy 874 dialing codes, we have to install them under recovery or Nokia Extensions.

Let me tell you how to verify:
1. Dial *#*#227#*#* to check current Version. If older than B2N-354J-0-00WW-B01 (check if the letter is greater than J), update to 354J before proceed.
FYI, 354J is August 2019 Security Update.
Alternately, you can use command "fastboot oem getversions" under fastboot mode / Download mode to check current firmware version.
If newer than 354J (probably 354N when this post released), you'll need to downgrade your phone back to at most 354H - which can't be done easily without unlocked bootloader.
2. Install B2N-354K-0-00WW-B01-354J-0-00WW-B01-update.zip with Nokia Extensions OTA Update module or adb sideload under recovery.
3. Reboot your phone.
4. Install B2N-4040-0-00WW-B01-354K-0-00WW-B01-update.zip with Nokia Extensions OTA Update module or adb sideload under recovery.
5. Reboot your phone.
That's it.
If minor fixes released, I will upload them as well, then use the same method to install it.
To root the phone, you may want to use Magisk 20 released today (October 12th, 2019) or newer.

There's ONLY one bug of camera. And no other major bugs. And no daily life functionality is affected unless you do no other work with your phone except taking photos.( No offense ) ?
There might be a possibility that even after this camera bug is resolved, hmd might carry out extended testing and only release 10 at the time they've already mentioned.
Just a possibility.

Wakelocks are also a bit of an issue with regards to battery life...and I also work from my phone daily...not just used for camera, which is why I'm still on this build
