Anyone with a rooted Fire OS 5 device, including the 1st and 2nd-gen Fire TV boxes and the 1st and 2nd-gen Fire TV Sticks, can now update to software version 5.2.7.3. Rbox is still at it after all these years and has just uploaded the newest images to flash. You can find them at the top of these XDA threads: Fire TV 1 (Bueller), Fire TV 2 (Sloane), Fire TV Stick 1 (Montoya), and Fire TV Stick 2 (Tank). If you have the means, please consider donating to Rbox to show your appreciation and to keep future updates coming. Read more ›

For those of you with rooted 2nd-generation Fire TVs, Rbox has just released a pre-rooted ROM of the latest 5.2.6.8 software update. This will allow you to update your rooted device without losing root access. You can download the image from the usual XDA forum thread and install it through TWRP by following this guide. I have not had a chance to capture the update images for the Fire TV 1 or Fire TV Stick 1 yet, which is why pre-rooted ROMs for those devices have not been created. I’ll do that soon and shoot them over to Rbox and, hopefully, he will have time to make those pre-rooted images as well. Please be sure to donate to Rbox to support him and thank him for continuing to keep all of our rooted devices updated.
