[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Duareg xda:
Exactly what I've noticed.

The UI looks more modern, it seems a tad faster, the only issue is that I've had to set again Nova as the default launcher and deactivate all the crap apps from amazon.

It only takes 2 minutes with Amazon Fire Toolbox anyway.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] joeldf:
I switched the launcher to Nova the same way.

Although, I pretty much left everything else alone. Even kept the OTA updates, which already re-enabled the Fire launcher on me once. But re-running the Toolbox was easy enough to get Nova back. I'm sure it will do it again, but I can live with it.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Duareg xda:
I personally prefer to disable everything from Amazon as I don't trust Amazon regarding my privacy.

I have though also kept the OTA updates as I don't mind being informed that there's a new update available.

Also, the specs of the tablet are already very limited, I prefer that most of the resources are available for the system and the apps I use.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] joeldf:
I understand that.

Since I already have a Prime account, I'm not sure what else they could get from my tablet use. Although, I don't use their PIM apps - using the BlackBerry Hub+ Suite for android for email, calendar, contacts, notes and tasks instead.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Duareg xda:
I usually avoid Amazon like the plague. ?

I just wanted a cheap tablet to use as a weather station, able to connect to web radios and to my JBL charge 3 for my bathroom when I shower.

I got this tablet for 50 euros and it does the job without hassle.

Very good purchase indeed. ?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TallTommy:
I did the update a couple days ago on my 2018 HD8 and it mostly went well. The one issue I did have after the update is that the volume buttons stopped working about 50% of the time.

i did a factory reset and put it back to the way I had it set up and its definitely more snappy than before. I now have no need to upgrade to an HD8+
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Duareg xda:
Mine didn't need a factory reset to be snappier.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] joeldf:
I reset mine, but didn't really intend to reset it. I was going through all the Settings sections to see what was different (spoiler... not much, few things here and there, though), and happen to hit the "Reset to factory defaults" option. I was trying to cancel out when my lazy finger dragged over the okay button. That's all it took and there was no stopping it. So, I just delt with it.

Probably needed it anyway.

At least my SD card was left alone.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TallTommy:
I have one that fails to upgrade. :(

I have two of these HD8 2018. I updated mine back on Sep 6 and it was a cakewalk. I'm trying to do my daughters and the tablet just doesn't want to update. I copy the bin to the root of Internal, run the update checker, it sees the update and deletes it, that's all. I went and did a factory reset on it thinking maybe something is holding it up, but that doesn't matter. I'm guessing something changed on the update image that is being hosted from Amazon. I'm kicking myself for not saving a copy from 9/6 from the first successful run.

I guess I will just keep trying weekly until Amazon fixes the image.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] newnewcomputer:
bad bin on amazon right now

yup - the bin file on Amazon right now for Fire HD 8 2018 is 6.3.1.5 when it should 7.3.1.5.

ive uploaded a copy on filebin...not a dev so i dont have android file host or other file share acct. will share link if thats ok :)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] ahnold11:
That'd be great to have. Been meaning to update tablet, fine got around to it today and was wondering why it wasn't working, until found this thread. I'm sure it'll be fixed eventually, but that could take quite some time.

If anyone has a direct link to the file on amazons aws servers, that would also work, as I'm guessing the image hasn't been removed from hosting, they just messed up the link on the page.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TallTommy:
Thanks, I may take you up on that. I contacted Amazon support and they were clueless when i tried to explain it to them. I unzipped the bin file and the prop.build file is indeed 6.3.1.5 (not to mention it's in the name of the bin file itself. I told the support person to email whoever manages hosting the site but I think they were completely lost with what I was asking. He/She kept telling me to trying installing the 6.3.1.5.bin file over and over again.

The Fire 7 9th gen is in the same boat. I saw someone on Reddit mention the same exact issue.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MontysEvilTwin:
Link to Fire OS7 for Fire HD8 (Karnak):

https://fireos-tablet-src.s3.amazon...D8_8th_Gen-PS7315_user_1958_0018354775684.bin

Click the link for a direct download.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TallTommy:
Awesome! Is there a way to view all the OS's being hosted?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MontysEvilTwin:
Not on one page. I used the 'Wayback Machine' to look at cached versions of the main Amazon Fire software downloads page and got the link from a previous version of the current page. The US and UK versions of this page are not cached by this service that often and neither had a cached version of the right age (late August/ early September). Luckily the French version did.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] TallTommy:
Very interesting. Thanks for explaining it.

EDIT - that is so cool! I looked it up and found it from mid august when using amazon.fr. I always just used the cached info from Google for stuff but this is definitely a 1000% better.

You made my day, thanks again.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] newnewcomputer:
sorry 4 late reply - upload to filebin kept getting abort...guess i cant complain as its a free service :( found another site that offers free file share.

saw that Monty already provided the direct link to Amazon but just in case, here is Fire OS 7.3.1.5 for Fire HD8 8th gen on gofile.io

https://gofile.io/d/MGPbHZ

PS: oops - just realized i had changed the file from .bin to .zip cuz' i was considering install thro' TWRP. To use it for factory reset, plz rename it back to .bin Good luck!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] El_Nino9:
anyone got the 6.3.1.5 bin file?

want to remain bootloader unlocked and want to get rid of this bootloop thats happened
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] mrgimper:
Ah, glad I'm no the only one stuck in the boot loop! I installed 7.3.1.5 via TWRP and now stuck in the loop. Luckily I have a backup on my SD and just waiting for the battery to drain so I can get into recovery and restore.

I take it it's a "thing" that 7.3.1.5 is doing this?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] CallMeMic:
Do we know if it should be available for 7th Gen Fire HD 8 tablets? I just got the 5.6 FireOS update but that's still Android 5 and it's starting to show it's age! :)

I'm willing to flash it manually if that's what it takes, but I would prefer to have it via the official channels..
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] joeldf:
I doubt they will ever update the 7th gens with a major version jump.

Theoretically, I would think that the hardware could handle it since the 7th and 8th gens are virtually the same.

Problem is the larger jump from base Android 5 to Android 7 or 9 in an existing installation. There is a difference in how the partitions are done, and how the SD card is handled. It would mess up all those people who have their apps on the SD card since neither Fire OS 6 or 7 handle it the same way as Fire OS 5. Amazon just didn't want to deal with the potential headaches from users with lost apps.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] CallMeMic:
Darn! So technically since i'm willing to completely wipe the data from the tablet it would be possible? (i'm trying to find the proper procedure)
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] joeldf:
I don't think it's possible. Amazon makes each OS bin file for specific devices.

You could try to download the HD 8 8th Gen OS and stick it in the root folder of your 7th Gen internal memory, then go in Settings and check for updates, but it won't see the update file.

Just like you can't download the HD 8 10th Gen OS and load it on the 8th Gen tablet, even though it's the same OS version number.

[Sep 29] Latest FOS7 firmware available

Latest FireOS7 image available for HD 8 2018 (and possibly others):

update-kindle-Fire_HD8_8th_Gen-PS7315_user_1961_0018354776452.bin

...from the official Amazon firmware update site.

Hopefully this cures the bootloop issue from previous 1958 version.

I will try shortly and report back here.

Thanks,

Update: This didn't work for me, sadly. Bootloop again.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MontysEvilTwin:
I think it is a feature rather than a fault. I presume that Amazon wanted to block unlocked tablets from updating to OS7 without reverting fully to stock.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Tigger31337:
Yup, I couldn't agree more.

It was just wishful thinking on my part, seeing that previous FOS7 firmware get taken down and quickly replaced with an upgraded version. :(
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DB126:
Ridiculous; do you think Amazon gives a rats a$$ about the .01% crowd who bother modding/unlocking Fire devices? Spending too much time is the same chat room
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MontysEvilTwin:
Not ridiculous at all. Why did they bother to block mtk-su then? Why bother to block any root exploit?

Looking at your output you seem to spend a lot of time trolling. If you are not interested in Amazon devices, and regularly diss people who are interested in rooting their tablets why do you even post on this forum?I

As an addendum to the above:

It is known that a hardware modification was made to late production models of the Karnak (HD 8, 8th gen.) tablet to prevent it from entering bootrom-DL mode, thus blocking the bootloader unlock procedure. A similar change was made to the logic board of the Mustang (Fire 7, 9th gen.). It appears that bootrom-DL mode is disabled for the current HD 8 (10th gen.) model too. It is high!y unlikely that these changes were anything other than deliberate. So Amazon went to the trouble to have their manufacturers make hardware changes, even to a model that was imminently going out of production, but the idea that they wouldn't make a software modifcation to prevent bootloader unlocking with OS 7 is ridiculous?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DB126:
mtk-su exploit represented a much broader exposure; blocking was a security (vs behavioral) measure which was undertaken by any responsible distributor of MediaTek devices. As for the other assertions...well, ignorance is bliss.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] MontysEvilTwin:
Blah, blah, blah, whatever.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Duareg xda:
I've installed the 7.3.1.5 update and since then, the amazon fire toolbox (8.2) doesn't detect my device. Any idea how to fix it?

Edit: it was a bad usb cable...
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DB126:
Removing BLDL mode is an evolutionary security measure that should have been instituted long ago. Likely (IMO; no supporting evidence) an upstream mfg modification that impacted any device using these boards.
