[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonFire1024:
I do not recall if you can downgrade from 5.6 or not. I do know you can downgrade from 5.4.0.1 to as low as 5.3.2.1.

A few days ago, root was achieved for HD 10 tablets with 5.6.0.0. There's now a better chance of rooting 5.6.0.0 than any other FireOS version from 5.3.2.1 on up. If you haven't done so, download KINGOROOT for PC and install it (not to be mistaken for KingRoot. Notice the O after king). Make sure your drivers are installed, plug in tablet to PC and open KingoRoot. When your tablet is detected, make sure to uncheck the hidden box at the bottom left that says "install recommended app." Then click root. Lets see if it works?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_figurin:
I did, and it worked (5.4.0.1 to 5.4.0.0)

But I have another one with 5.6.0.0, does anyone know if it's downgradable to 5.4.0.0?

Thanks.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabosius:
Just did again today on another fire 7 (7th gen), direct downgrade from 5.6.0.0 to 5.4.0.0 did work fine.

But once I went from 5.4.0.0 to 5.6.0.0 (to test root method for HD10) it had a small patch of some sort available, I did not test with that patch installed. And then I downgraded.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
There are conflicting reports. Some claim success (usually via 5.4.0.1) while others score an unrecoverable brick. Devil is in the details which are rarely reported with meaningful detail. Possible variables in play:

- 5th (2015) vs 7th (2017) gen device

- starting and ending builds

- starting version; there are reports of multiple 5.6.0.0 flavors

- unnoticed update to 5.6.0.1

- quality of tethered connection
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_figurin:
Yep, downgrade from 5.6.0.0 to 5.4.0.0 on Fire 7 7th Gen (2017) codename 'Austin' works.

Can't say about the previous model, though (Fire 7 5th Gen (2015) codename 'Ford'.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asadullah:
So I just downgraded my fire 7 7th gen on 5.6 directly to 5.4 with no issues one question I had but didn't ask was what happens if you don't wipe data (I dont wanna lose my super phantom cat score ???) . Nothing it flashes it then gives you a message about optimizing storage and all your apps are safe. Only question is has anyone tried different country codes to see if there is an update lower than 5.4 or if there are bin files beside the user
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabosius:
Apparently there truly are few flavours of 5.6.0.0, just checked.

5.6.0.0 October release was available as update-kindle-55.5.9.5_user_595457020.bin

5.6.0.0 Currently available from amazon appears to be update-kindle-55.5.9.5_user_595457320.bin

But I was still able to downgrade from the updated build of 5.6.0.0 to 5.4.0.0 successfully.

...with erection-inducing success. Thank you again [MENTION=8553669]Dan_firehd[/MENTION]

FWIW: I'm in the USA and purchased these in December of '17. The device updated from 5.4.0.0 to 5.4.0.1 to 5.6.0.0 before downgrading. It did it's typical "Optimizing system storage and applications" for about 15 minutes (of the 10 minute estimate). I also did not do a factory reset and everything appears to be golden. And since I purchased 5 of these....

Another success story here!

Just downgraded my in Dec. 2017 purchased Fire 7 (7th gen) from 5.6.0.0 directly to 5.4.0.0, using the image update-kindle-55.5.7.9_user_579225620.bin.

Everything went very smoothly. After the update, the first things I did were to disable OTA:

adb shell
pm uninstall --user 0 com.amazon.device.software.ota
pm uninstall --user 0 com.amazon.kindle.otter.oobe.forced.ota
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJC2982:
So many questions.....

OK....thanks for posting results. I have two immediate questions:

-How do you perform the downgrade...specifically....like your teaching a golden retriever to do it. Assuming I need to download the file, but then what? Looks like I need another app to open the BIN?

-Second question and arguably the more important. What does the downgrade get you? Once you are at 5.4 and OTA is off, can you then root the device, or are we waiting at 5.4 for a root solution to be found?

Thanks again

5th and 7th gen Fire/Fire 7 devices running FireOS 5.6.0.0 can be rolled back to 5.4.0.0 (here).

HD 8 devices can NOT be rolled back regardless of generation.

Edit: owners of 5th gen devices running FireOS 5.6 may want to hold back on rollbacks as the evidence supporting successful attempts appears to be weak (basically nonexistent) ATM.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitrix90:
I bought the Kindle Fire 7 2015 last week. I was already informed about everything because I already had the 2012 version in the past when I had done root and cm. As soon as I arrived I was on 5.4.0.1. I downgraded to 5.4.0.0 and cleaned up from Amazon applications, installed Nova and blocked ota. After a few days I felt like trying the downgrade to 5.3.2.1 and I got the brick of the device. So I can certify that downgrading below 5.4.0.0 is not possible.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlbertDude:
I went ahead and tried it -- and found that it worked for me.

I downgraded Fire 7 (5th gen) from 5.6.1.0 to 5.4.0.0 and removed OTA & lockscreen ads.

I actually downgraded in two steps: from 5.6.1.0 -> 5.6.0.0 and then 5.6.0.0 -> 5.4.0.0. I'm guessing the extra step wasn't needed and that one could sideload directly to 5.4.0.0

After the downgrade to 5.4.0.0, I did a factory reset to get rid of the "flashing screen" issue and then issued the appropriate adb commands to deal with the OTA and lockscreen ads.

Im not 100% sure if the dowloads are hosted on Wayback Machine, but at least experiment on it.. If anybody successfully downloads one of the older builds, plz let me know asap.. thnx （＾ω＾）

Bootloader is unlocked in LG Zone3!

No more secure boot error! :D

I thank my friend [MENTION=5305255]cerg2010cerg2010[/MENTION] for helping me out in patching the aboot.

-> Requirements:

(1) Device must be: LG Zone3

-> Steps:

(1) Download this patched aboot file: mod edit - link removed

(2) Connect your phone to the computer. In command prompt, type "adb shell".

(3) Transfer the aboot file into /sdcard/ folder.

(4) Type "su" to enter the root shell. Then type "dd if=/sdcard/aboot_patched.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0pX". (X=partition no. of aboot)

(5) Restart your phone by typing "reboot".

You have unlocked your bootloader!

Refer Notes for more information.

-> Notes:

1) The aboot.bin is the patched version of aboot partition of your device. Secure boot validation has been patched such that secure boot is always valid, so you can flash your own TWRP and Custom ROM.

2) Don't upgrade to any updated version of Android if you get any through OTA update. It might brick your device.

Are you sure you're downloading themes for Smartphone or Windows Mobile Standard?

How are these files packaged when you download them?

Unless it is a an xml file with some pics, you don't have to place it in the APPLICATION DATA / HOME folder to install.

What version of Windows Mobile are you using?
