Despite that, getting a quick senses of when these updates have arrived could give us a better idea of whether or not the update has been halted. This could happen if a device receives notice of the update during the roll out but doesn’t decide to install it until much later. It’s actually possible for devices to update to the initial 5.2.4.0 build even after it has been halted. I’d love to know in the comments below what date exactly did your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick receive the 5.2.4.0 update. The only issue with the 5.2.4.0 that I’ve come across that might be serious enough to halt the update is an odd incompatibility with older TVs that can only display 1080i/480p. ![]() None of my 5 devices eligible for this update have received it yet, which is unusual for me when the update has been out for over a week. Of course, I could absolutely be wrong about this, but it does seem like this updating is taking longer than usual to arrive. Amazon has never omitted the build number on that page, so I think they know a new build number is coming soon, but instead of waiting for the new build of 5.2.4.0 to be finalized, they updated the page with a placeholder. This is the main reason I think the first build of 5.2.4.0 has been halted and a new build will begin rolling out in the near future. However, instead of listing the build number of the update, like they’ve always done in the past, the page instead has the word “” where the build number should be. Currently, it is recommended to do Configuration > Select Apps as any other menu option just takes you through prompts to set variables that arent currently used. This is what happened with the earlier 5.2.1.0 software update, which initially had a build number of 550144920, but was then halted and restarted with a new build number of 550145120, due to a bug that prevented the screensaver from launching.Īmazon just updated their Fire TV software version page last night to now list the new 5.2.4.0 update. When this happens, the update’s version number usually remains the same between version, but the build number changes. ![]() Then swipe down from the top of the screen and select the Settings gear. ![]() Once the transfer is complete, disconnect the tablet from the computer. Drag the Fire OS update software you just downloaded to the Internal Storage folder. When Amazon stops pushing out a software update due to an issue, they’ll fix the issue and begin pushing out a slightly different version of the software update. On your computer, a folder called Internal Storage appears on the Fire tablet's drive. It’s not uncommon for Amazon to stop distributing a software update if a serious issue is detected with the first round of devices that receive the update, and it seems like that may be the case with this latest software update. I’m not positive, but it seems like the 5.2.4.0 software update, that started rolling out to Fire TVs and Fire TV Sticks just over a week ago, has been temporarily halted.
