For anyone who has an unlocked bootloader and wants to update to Fire OS 4, here's a stock 4.5.2 ROM that won't overwrite your current unlocked bootloader or recovery partition.

Any feedback on this ROM?
Can this be installed on its own? Can I wipe /system and install? Downloading now but figured I'd ask here.

Yes, it can be installed over a cleanly wiped system partition. This is just the stock ROM that doesn't overwrite unlocked bootloaders when flashed.

Right so when I borked my previous rom (ooooops) without a backup, this will give me stock Amazon rom back.
Thanks.
@bmccoy11
Ok so it flashed fine and I noticed you already did otacerts.old in /system/etc/security and I don't see the dcp apk in /system/app, however it tried DL'ing an update right away.
How do you recommend stopping OTAs?
Trying this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/kindle-fire-hdx/general/tut-disable-ota-4-5-2-install-gapps-t3043550 - seems to work
Thanks.

Is the 4.5.5 build far away? Might give it a crack over the weekend if it will be up.

Yes, the 4.5.5 is available here, already OTA blocked. I had to do a factory reset after flashing it (use ONLY the factory reset within TWRP, NOT the native factory reset) to get it to work, but after that, clear sailing, works great.

Ok, I'm a little confused about the process. My kindle fire is sitting at 4.5.4. I have refused to turn it on, because I don't want it to take 4.5.5. I want to re-establish root. I understand there is a downgrade process that allows you to move back to 4.5.2, then you can install root.
My question is, how do I unlock the boot loader at this point? Do I need to have an unlocked boot loader to install new images. I really want to be able to root and have the google play store installed, and not have all the bull**** errors like before with the playstore crashing.
Thanks to all you guys that have the answers and knowledge.

You can not unlock the bootloader on that device as it can not be rolled back to a version of FireOS (3.2.3.2 or below) containing the vulnerability that the unlock procedure exploits. The lowest you can go is 3.2.8. Any attempt to go further will result in a brick.
To get to 4.5.2 you rollback to 3.2.8 first using the procedure in this thread. Follow instructions precisely or you can damage/brick your device. Understand there are risks involved; this is not a task for the uninformed. There are no step-by-step guides or slick videos. Copious reading is your best friend along with the community servicing HDX forums.
Once on 3.2.8 you can upgrade to 4.5.2, block OTA, root, install Safestrap v4 and then Nexus v4 or cm11 both of which give full access to the Google Play Store. I strongly advise against attempting to install the play store under FireOS. Amazon and Google components do not play nice. Best use a different rom.
Do some reading and decide if you are up for the adventure. Ask questions before acting. Make sure you fully understand the relevant tasks, expected outcomes and things you should never do (like enable WiFi while on 3.2.8 - instant brick).
Edit: Fixed typos...

Thanks! but i have a question, why CM ROM the sound quality is very bad, even i install Dolby.

Search the HDX LineageOS 14.1 thread; many claim Viper4 is a better solution. Seems a bit complicated to obtain/install but that may be a faux impression. I am satisfied with Dolby but don't demand much from my device from an audio performance perspective.

how to delete this reply…

a442509097 said:
Viper4 is same too, i think this is about audio drive problem, because i try 4.22 or 4.4.4 system(however custom) sound quality has enough bass.
Click to expand...

Might reach out to those who have installed (and presumably customized) Viper4 for this device. They claim sound quality is equal to if not superior to stock FireOS v4 (4.4.x base). I did notice a mild degradation going from Fire Nexus KTU84Q (4.4.4) to Android 5+ but not enough to warrant additional actions beyond installation of Dolby for noise reduction (random pops during quiet passages) and extended volume range. The builds were heavily customized when development resources were heavily focused on ROM enrichment. Things are different now; you'll likely have to roll your own if you believe this issue is with core binaries. Third gen devices have been out of production for 2+ years.

You sure about that? Wikipedia page for the series is under the impression they're still producing and selling the 7 inch HDX (which never got a 4th gen release), at least for LTE users.

LOL - since when did Wikipedia become the definative resource for Amazon devices? 3rd gen HDX is definitely out of production and has been for quite some time.

Fair enough, I just wasn't sure. Sometimes it's accurate, sometimes it isn't

Bootloader can be unlocked while using CM 11 (KitKat 4.4.4) under Safestrap. Just follow the instructions. No need to reload FireOS.

I installed the update and now my phone doesn't boot. I go straight to recovery. Not quite sure what to do. Anyone have any suggestions?
The thing is that I just rooted with KingoRoot other day, voiding the warranty.

I've rooted and flashed tWPR recovery , so don't think can do such OTA update directly.
If anybody has latest ROM tWPR backup, I would like to try.

I restored y phone to original recovery and ROM, but after download and enter recovery, it shows ERROR

Im rooted. Unless its a big difference i dont see any means to uodate

Take out the SD card and then download the update. The phone get's funky if you have an SD card

If you have an SD card inserted to the phone, remove it before downloading the update. The phone doesn't react too well with an SD card.

Will the update go through even if using TWRP? Will it break root or cause a soft brick? I'm still running the original build that it shipped with (dated 26-12-2015 with 2015-11-01 security patch level).

1. It wouldn't be Gionee doing anything even those this phone is based off of it. 2. Look at the sites that reviewed it, it's been posted many times that it was planned to get Android 6.0 . Android Central....check gsmarena it's out there if you look.

I can't imagine BLU is doing much ROM development. Gionee almost certainly has to provide them with the MM ROM since the Vivo XL is the Gionee Elife S Plus. BLU makes some changes, sure, but they likely aren't developing a MM ROM from scratch.
Anyway, I was just curious and not that interested in reading up on it. I got this phone to be a bedside clock (AMOLED screen FTW) and as a backup in case my DD runs into problems. It was $100 and a good deal at that price, but I have no belief that it will see anything but security patch updates (and even then, I don't expect much).

They arent going to update to 6.0. It used to say that on the Blu website but after the phone launched it was removed from the Blu Vivo XL and Vivo 5 pages.

Can anyone make a flashable zip? I'm using TWRP. I tried modifiing the updater-script, but no luck so far.

I updated the radio but went to an error and now the phone is stuck on boot menu. I can't flash it because it won't connect to any computer.

How to update R1 to the latest OTA Update?

Hey All,
I'm looking for some help nito update this device to the latest OTA update. I have installed TWRP 3.0.2.0 that came with the dirtycow method. The device found the latest updated released in the past few days but when going to install it, it brings up the TWRP (which is how it should install). Now I don't mind if I can't grab this latest version due to whatever reason, but how would I go about updating the device? Currently it's running the stock version 6.1 6/17/2016.
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere, but still kinda new with Android devices and the whole rooting process. I'd like to be able to keep TWRP if at all possible and keep this device updated. Also I saw there was a updated TWRP released, how would I go about updating the recovery?
Thanks a lot for the help anyone can give!

Already tried it and it doesn't work. She uses the phone to play Pokemon Go and sadly the modified version you've made gives the error that the device or software is not supported. I believe this is due to the method you are using to remove the ads and custom changes made to the ROM, which I don't personally care if the phone has them or not. I'm wanting to install OTA updates without any heavy modifications made, just the ability to keep TWRP but have an updated phone.

I want to say thank you a lot, this worked wonderfully! Only issue is Google Plus doesn't work (not a huge deal for the wife) but everything else is working great!
One last question, what is the recommended TWRP to use with this phone, I currently have the 3.0.2.0 Vampire version installed.

I have seen it mentioned that Google + does not work on 8.3 in general not just this modified one.
That recovery is the one I use and has advantage over the other one (lopestom's versio) in that in recovery you can use external sdcard and also mtp connection.

Update OP3 from 3.1.2 to OOS 5.0.1 (process and files required)

Hi guys, I have a OP3 which is running on 3.1.2 Marshmallow.
I always get a notification for system update to 4.5.1. I've tried downloading and installing the update but after the first boot my OP crashes/gets bricked. There is only a Linux penguin logo that appears no matter what button you press.
From there I always have to follow the mega unbrick guide and get my phone back to working with stock recovery and 3.1.2.
I've tried side loading the downloaded file as well.
Then I've tried installing .zip file of 5.0.1 via TWRP, still no luck. it still bricks my phone.
Am comfortable rooting my phone, my bootloader is unlocked. I don't care too much about keeping root after updating my phone to the latest version, I would be grateful to anyone who can point me towards the proper full ROM files of 5.0.1 along with any firmware files that may be required.
And the exact process of when to flash the firmware and with/without which version of TWRP. I am ready to completely wipe and clear data.
in simple words I just want to update from 3.1.2 to 5.0.1. The simple downloading and updateing from the OTA update doesn't work.

I though of running a diagnosis check by dialing *#808# and looked up Charger option, it shows the battery as "itech_3000mah"
is that original?
I had given the phone to repair for water damage to a professional service chain (Not OnePlus, some company here called Yaantra). I've heard from talking to an official repair person of OnePlus that fake batteries are not possible for OnePlus.
The battery works absolutely alright, charges up nicely and I get decent SOT. Can't complain at all.

Unfortunately you can't downgrade. Once you have flashed a higher bootloader version you are stuck with it.
If you are on bootloader v5 you may be able to downgrade to the last Oreo build, I am not 100% sure on that though.

Only if they are same bootloader

You need to be rooted to be able to get that working again, some roms also have that patched already...
Although the thread is about the s7 I believe it is exactly the same for our note 8.

You can flash TWRP, copy /system/build.prop to the PC or SD Card, edit it on the PC, put it back in /system.
Once you are done, just flash stock revovery via TWRP.
It sounds hard, but it's eazy if you know what you are doing. Banking apps will still work, and with build.prop edited s health will work too.
I am not gonna walk you trough the entire process but this is a summary.

Oooh that, it's nothin.
You just need to hold volume up + bixby and power just before the phone auto restarts from download mode. When you do that it will boot twrp.
If you don't understand it go watch MaxLee on youtube, his method of flashing twrp on s8/n8

The way I know it, there is no way without twrp or root, and you said you don't want root because of banking apps.
If you flash twrp, do the thing with build.prop, and then flash stock recovery, you could still recive OTA updates and banking apps will work.
You just have to set up s health before the next OTA because that will revert built.prop back to normal.
But as long as you set up s health before that it will be ok.

Leave that bro coz m not ready to do that. Just help me with 1 thing if possible. There was other way to use s health on knox tripped device. That was downloading s health 4.8 version install it and open it. It will stuck at loading screen. Update it and it will work fine. Earlier i get it working that way when my device has oreo version. But now after pie update when i try to install any s health apk before version 5 that is 4.5, 4.7 or 4.8. I always get a message app not installed. After version 5 app get installed but again with root problem. Can u help me with installing old version. I dont know why s health old version is not getting installed. I had some other apps that are now discontinued. That apps get installed easily

The reason you can't install the modded version is because the version that was modded is less than pre-installed version on the device. As of now, you can't downgrade apps, only upgrade. Your only option is to wait for someone to patch a later version from the version you got installed on your phone.
I think someone can even just change a number in AndroidManifest.xml install it and then just upgrade.
I'm sure a patched version will pop-up again somewhere on xda, just make sure it's later version than the version pre-installed into the system.
