Fire HD 8 (2017) - Downgrade to 5.4.0.0 from 5.6.0.0 - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General

This is the link to download Fire OS 5.4.0.0 for Fire HD 8 7th generation; I finally found it in an Amazon webpage for UK,
Fire OS 5.4.0.0 Direct Download Link
If some brave soul who lives near an Amazon office wants to test it, please go ahead and ADB sideload it, and let us know.
And don't forget to uninstall OTA because you can do so in 5.4.0.0!
Good Luck!
EDIT: And this is the software update page.

Nah
I have the HD 8, but I am already waiting for a refund, and my warranty only covers 3 devices If anyone could test this... kudos to you.
EDIT: After disabling OTA, is there any way to check the OS version? I used the tool to disable OTA and now I can't even open the system updates menu. Pretty sure it deleted OTA .

Don't try. You get hard bricked device.
Some users reported an hard-brick downgrading to 5.4.0.0, but I tried the same. I can confirm, you cannot downgrade Fire 8 HD 7th. You get hard bricked device.
I tried downgrade from 5.4.0.1 and no errors are reported after sideload ROM. I tried reboot and the device didn't start again.

I hope there's eventually a way to remove some bloatware from this device, it's actually a pretty good little tablet

I have a Fire HD 10 5th Gen, and was able to downgrade from 5.6.0.0 to 5.3.2.1, which allowed me to block OTA updates and remove the bloatware.

Fire HD10 5th Gen ? Why not trying to root it as discussed here (even though it says HD10 7th Gen) :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/rooted-fire-hd-10-7th-generation-t3718629

I have a 2017 HD 8 that I got with 5.4.0.0, and it updated to 5.6.0.0. I don't see any reason to downgrade, as I don't gain anything, but I also don't want to downgrade because it seems moving from anything 5.4.0.1 and above to anything below 5.4.0.1 will brick it. Seems they updated the bootloader in 5.4.0.1 on the HD 8.
I have future OTA disabled, hoping we can get an exploit in 5.6.0.0 like the HD 10 did, but fingers crossed.

Can you share your 5.3.2.1 firmware for HD 10 5th Gen? I want to downgrade mine too.

so is there any benefit for me to stay at the 5.4.0.1. that my HD8 is at.. I haven't turned it on since the day i received it. The day i got it i had turned it on without allowing any connection to wifi and i was able to check the version it was shipped with. Then i turned it right off as I've been waiting to see if any exploits arrive! My apologies if this falls under a different discussion! Thank you guys for any and all input!

You are not tricking it into checking with Google...The update comes from Moto servers. However the sim can cause the imei controlled rollout to not work correctly on some handsets thus removing the sim allows the phone to get back.in line so to speak.

As far we know so far, this is for the XT1575 only... just the December 2016 security update to 6.0, very minor update. Started rolling our about a week ago... a big push seemed to happen on the 14th and 15th with many users receiving it those days.

Is there any way to update without wifi? I have unlimited data through Cricket Wireless but the system will only let me do it over wifi.

Exactly! There's absolutely no excuse why the Pure hasn't been updated to Nougat especially since the phone uses a damn near vanilla Android! HTC 10 & LG G5 had theirs for over 2 months now & some Samsung S7/S7E has been getting theirs over the past few weeks. My wife regrets buying this phone now over the Nexus 6P last year & now can't wait to dump this phone for the upcoming Galaxy S8+.

We should all agree that Pure program by GG is a fail. GG initiated it with HTC, Moto... with Pure Edition and commit that they would be upgraded just after Nexus lines
You guys are missing the point.
Nougat 7.1 came out in December. In order to have a smooth update to 7.1, you need the pre requisites which is the security update

I understand your sentiment regarding the near vanilla, and I'm surprised Google didn't commit Lenovo to keeping the pure/style updated. Lenovo has given over to "standard business practices", which unfortunately means that the manufactures focus on updating their newest flagships first (Moto Z line, G5, GS7, HTC 10). This is nothing new and has been this way for a while. Once again, the rule applies: if you want the latest and greatest Android updates upon release buy a Google phone (Pixel). Aside from that I expect very little. If I want the latest and greatest, I turn to XDA and other sources for custom ROMs (which is nothing new for me).

It'll be another 2-3 months to even get 7.0 and than no more updates. That's why **** motorola/lenovo nobody buy the G6 or G6 plus so they finally go out of business!
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
you don't extract it to sideload it ... you need to make sure you have original partitions (this will NOT apply to a modified system or boot), and then restore the factory recovery. Factory recovery has a sideload from ADB option.
If you have modified enough, you may have to backtrack to the last full system image (may 2016, I think it was), then do the sept update, followed by the dec update.
Those are available in other threads on XDA.
Guys there is any chance of volte update because jio expanding their services to next one year
Can it is possible that after nought update it is possible

why is it so difficult to apply a few security patches. at this point i'll wait for nougut. I've been eyeing a few of the nougut roms, but I see comments about stability and features not working.
do we need to relock the bootloader too? or just no root, stock partitions, and stock recovery?

I have an XT1625 on NPJS95.14-8 (higher than your 14-7) and it tries to install the OTA update and fails quickly once in recovery. I suspect an assert() failure on the system version.
Still, none of these have the October patchlist which fixes KRACK.

1)The OTA listed above requires an Amazon device.
2)Looking at the updater script, this OTA and the non-Amazon OTA for NPJ25.93-14.7 requires NPJ25.93-14.5.
Code:
Package expects build thumbprint of 7.0/NPJ25.93-14.7/7:user/release-keys or 7.0/NPJ25.93-14.5/5:user/release-keys
As you've flashed NPJS25.93-14-8 (the retail, non US June 2017 update), this takes you off the update path for US devices. I do not know if you can flash NPJ25.93-14.5 (which has the June 2017 patch as well) and update via OTA without issue. https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298984458 for NPJ25.93-14.5, https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617945295 for NPJ25.93-14.7 (both non Amazon), or NPJ25.93-14.5 for Amazon devices: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634798183
Either way, you are correct this OTA doesn't have the Krack patch, for official stock updates you'd have to wait for the 06 November 2017 or December 2017 security patch levels. I recall custom ROMs such as Resurrection Remix and Lineage OS have the Krack patches in place.

Wow - that was INCREDIBLY helpful, and thank you very much. Not only that, you provided the links to 14.5 and 14.7 so I didn't even have to search for them. Again, thank you!!!
Ehud
Do you know if the ATHENE_AMZ_NPJ25.93-14.7 version is out? I only see the NPJ25.93-14.7 for non Amazon. I really wish I could switch the from AMZ update channel to the Retail. It has to be possible with the bootloader unlocked to flash a retail version. I have searched, but no one has been able to change the update channel.
I guess if I want to have a fresh install, I would have to flash the 14.5 Amazon version and do the OTA for the 14.7.

I used a file manager and looked for system apps and deleted the Phoenix one only. I still have the widget app. I used solid explorer, but es File Explorer works also.
I am waiting for the ATHENE_AMZ_NPJ25.93-14.7 myself. Is it available yet?
Bricked my phone when i installed the retail version of NPJ25.93-14.7 in a bootloader locked amazon version and the phone wont pass of the recovery menu saying an unauthorized version is installed. Searched the web for a while now and only ATHENE_AMZ_NPJ25.93-14.5 is available and i can not downgrade.
Any help will be appreciated

[FIRMWARE / Update][Stock] Fire HD 8 - 7th Gen

Here's the list:

NOTE:
I have successfully downgraded from 5.6.0.1 to 5.6.0.0. I have not tried yet downgrading from 5.6.0.0 to any lower candidate/firmware.
Can you by any chance get the firmware files for 5.6.1.0?

The U.S. page has not been updated; look at the Japanese page: Link.
did you have any luck downgrading further than 5.6.0.0?
Is there a page like this for the 5th and 6th Gen HD 8?
If anybody downgraded from a version to another version please let us know if it was successful or not. That might help to create a matrix where we can check from where to where we can downgrade without brick.
Oh my gosh! you are an absolute god! Thank you for the firmware files!
Does anyone have a clue as to why my 10.1" 7th gen fire tab states its installed 5.3.6.4 os, then when i tap "learn more" it states my tab is instslled with 5.6.3.0??
Anyone shed some light on this if you know please.
I have made Amazon aware of this, even there latest update file states v. 5.6.2.0? Confused.com!?

Because someone at Amazon goofed and transposed a couple of numbers in the version field that happens to be read by the "about" page.
All their tablets say that.
And, it's such a small issue that it likely won't get fixed before the next update.
Sent from my Galaxy S8 using XDA Labs
Its such a small issue, that Amazon are investigating it atm. I'm still none the wiser as to which fw i actually have installed!!!
I even tried to update using adb but nothing happened?
So i will wait for Amazon to get back to me with their findings.
Will be interesting to find out what they say.
Not heard of any miss wording errors for the fw though, very odd??
There were several post about it here since it was released back last November. And, I've seen several posts over in Amazon's own forum. My wife and my son both have a 7th gen HD 8. Both received the same mis-numbered update.
I figured, 2 months later, they are just going to wait and release the next update. It doesn't break anything otherwise.

So I downloaded 5.6.0.1 firmware file and flashed it via stock recovery using adb sideload. Everything worked until I pressed "Reboot" and now my device will NOT BOOT! It won't turn on, it won't vibrate, and I cannot access recovery. I think it may be bricked. People keep telling me to access download mode and reflash the stock rom because they believe my preloader is corrupted. How can I do this?

Previous FireOS build? Which device/generation? Vibration excludes Fire 7/HD8 as both lack tactile feedback. If you can not access stock recovery the device is toast. One can not simply flash a ROM on most Amazon devices with a locked bootloader.

It's not possible to flash anything to Amazon devices by SPFT, despite them being MediaTek. SPFT uses a DA (Download Agent) to communicate with devices, and Amazon tablets don't accept the standard DA, they need a special DA signed by Amazon. BTW, good luck with the development of Amazon Fire Toolbox, and I really hope that you have a spare Fire device, because you will not be able to recover your tablet. The only method is changing the Hardmod Root method by a bit, soldering into the eMMC and replacing the preloader and LK, and even that is not yet covered by a guide or anything.

Huawei P20 EML-L29 GPU Turbo update?

Hi, I have the Huawei P20 EML-L29 8.1.0.133(C33), I've been waiting for the GPU turbo update for a very long time now and I still didn't receive it. I only received that update and the C33patch01. It's bought from France on launch date. Any word on the update release date? Thanks. (Unlocked bootloader and rooted with Magisk Manager btw)
Thats the reason then, I had to go back to stock without root to get the update first time, you have to do shady way via magisk if you want the update as it is now for your phone.
Im on patch03

I actually had updated my phone while being rooted. It said updates were available but I had to use huawei firmware Finder to actually perform the updates but even it doesn't show me any more updates (like the gpu turbo one) anymore.
OK so, I managed to update into a "non-supported" update with Huawei Firmware Finder (on play store or PC, check XDA). I updated to: 8.1.0.134 (L29C33B134). It seems to work fine so far and it has GPU Turbo from what I understand from the patch notes. However, I just installed it so more thorough investigation and usage is necessary.

new fireos 5.6.4.0 build

There was a new build ending in 720. Does anyone know the changes?

According to Amazon:
"This free software update includes general improvements and performance enhancements."
This has been out for a few months now.
We have 2 HD8 7th Gens in the house. One got the update on June 7, and the other got it on June 13. Both now up to 5.6.4.0. Previously on 5.6.3.0 (which was erroneously showing as 5.3.6.4).
Probably the only change was getting the OS point numbers back in the right order.

I wonder if Dr fone are using mtk-su? mtk-su is better than using rooting apps as it doesn't install any unwanted crap.
