Use the notes below to identify public firmware and app update URLs from devices you own or maintain.
On Android-based Fire TV devices, enable ADB debugging, connect with
adb connect [device IP], then inspect adb logcat while checking
for updates. Look for public Amazon update URLs and keep the surrounding device model and
version information when possible.
For Kindle devices, firmware links may appear during a normal update check or in update metadata collected by existing community tools. Submit the public URL together with the visible Kindle generation, current firmware version, and update version if you have it.
Echo devices can expose update URLs through logs or diagnostics gathered during normal device operation. Device family, build number, and capture date help distinguish similar packages.
FTVDB indexes links and metadata. Do not upload firmware, app packages, private logs, authentication tokens, or account-specific data. If a log contains personal information, remove that information before sharing context.
The most useful submissions include the device family, model name, current software version, target update version, and whether the URL appeared during a device-initiated update check or a manual check from device settings.
FTVDB does not bypass update systems, host update files, provide downgrade instructions, or publish private device data. The goal is to preserve public update history in a searchable form.
