Interesting - this poster claims Kingroot doesn't work. Wonder if he actually has 5.1.2.1 ...

my son's fire just took the 5.1.2.1 OTA (thought I disabled it...again...), and 5.1.2 root method did not work.

I'll simply reference this post for an effective way to block OTA updates. Time proven on multiple devices and multiple versions of FireOS.

How do I know if I have 5.1.2 or 5.1.2.1?

Confirming that downgrading and rooting afterwards works.
Thanks for the help.

King root app works on version 5.1.2. I was able to root it and change firmware with flashfire app. I downloaded it from XDA forum.
Kingroot takes few attempts to root. If nothing happens first time try reboot device even if it just rebooted and start app again. Also clear that app from recent menu before launching again.
It took me 4 attempts to finally root it so keep it up and don't give up.

Kingroot wasn't working for me at 5.1.2. What worked was maly82's suggestion.
* Unplug USB from device.
* Remove Kingroot from recent menu
* launch Kingroot again.
First run it rooted successfully. This after multiple attempts with no success, even tried the Kingroot desktop version. Maybe I just got lucky. Maybe removing it from the recent menu is important. IDK. Just throwing it out there.

On another xda thread, someone is reporting their Fire 7 has loaded firmware version 5.1.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66436631&postcount=739

That probably why they didn't put up the 5.1.2.1 bin on their website. Probably a pre-released. I'm so glad that I turn off the updates on the 5.1.2 after went back to it.
Do not try to go back to 5.1.2 from 5.1.3.

On 2014 Fires 5.1.2 could be downgraded to 5.1.1 without bricking. Does the same work on 2015 Fire ? Has anyone tried ?
It'd be interesting to try to downgrade one of the newer versions (5.1.2+) back to 5.0.1. It'll probably brick, but if one wants to return Fire to Amazon because of some screen issues or something else, it's a good test to do.

No change to kernel or recovery between 3.2.5 and 3.2.6--binary-compared those files within the BIN archive, and they're bit-for-bit identical.
There were noticeable changes to both kernel and recovery between 3.2.4 and 3.2.5 which probably accounts for 3.2.5---and 3.2.6--unable to roll back.
I can confirm that towelroot works.
So how would I flash a bin file?
I guess no one knows then?

If you are speaking about the update bin file you simply copy it to your sdcard and go to settings/device/system update and check now.

I have not installed SU yet or attempted to block any future updates. I have read that renaming the proper odex file can stop future updates--any info on this method or other ways to accomplish would be appreciated. I would like to prevent losing root when another update comes along.

5.1.2 Root Progress Thread

Surprised there wasn't a central place we could share information and progress toward root yet.
I test FireOS 5.1.2 for common vulnerabilities and one thing came back positive:
CVE-2015-6602 (StageFright vulnerability)
https://blog.zimperium.com/the-late...xploit-is-now-available-for-testing-purposes/
A note to all developers, when a root method is found, if you make a root program or script, make sure it nukes OTA updates completely. Amazon, without a doubt, will pull a d*ck move like this again.

Historically only one file needs to be renamed to effectively disable OTA without hampering other functionality. Also makes the block easily reversible. PM me for details. Not a secret but there are several similarly named files. Those who tinkered with the wrong file(s) on other device types earned a brick. Needs proper testing on this device with FireOS 5.1.1 (preferably w/5.0.1 bootloader) before being released in the wild. Obviously hiding/disabling components is not reliable.

This one file rename has not failed me through many versions on many gens of ROOTED Amazon tablets (including Fire on 5.1.1):Rename /system/priv-app/DeviceSoftwareOTA/DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk to DeviceSoftware OTA.apk_​Has this not worked for some people?
I also pm disable com.amazon.otaverifier (although I'm not so sure this is bullet-proof anymore).
The only (poor) option for unrooted is pm hide, which doesn't work on OS 5.1.1. Someone suggested using pm clear with this, but it didn't work for me.

This is the GOLD standard. What you rename it to is irrelevant; just ditch the 'apk' suffix.
As well as original Stagefright vulnerability CVE-2015-6602 mentioned in the OP, FireOS 5.1.2 may also be vulnerable to the relatively new CVE-2015-1805
Google confirmed that CVE-2015-1805 was already being exploited by a "publicly available rooting application":
https://source.android.com/security/advisory/2016-03-18.html
Zimperium went further and confirmed that the "publicly available rooting application" is KingRoot:
https://blog.zimperium.com/zimperium-applauds-googles-rapid-response-to-unpatched-kernel-exploit/
Affected devices are unpatched Android devices on kernel versions 3.4, 3.10 and 3.14, including Google’s own Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 devices running the March 01, 2016 Security patch level or below.

Kinda new here as I am looking to buy a Kindle Tablet.
When FireOS gets updated, do Amazon put in the latest android security patches? I think Google still releases it for Lollipop.
Reason for this is reading up, to sideload the Playstore you need to disable the OTA, but if the security patch is included then that is something I need to consider.

Keep in mind Google Framework (Services, Store, etc) compatibility is not assured across FireOS updates. Historically this was more of a problem with FireOS v4 which didn't play well with Google components. Even if it does break someone will likely come up with a fix in short order. That said, I fully agree with @sd_shadow: go with a custom rom for the most favorable experience.

You think you are gonna get a different answer if you post this question in different threads? If you read about Magisk, you would know it only works with unlocked bootloaders. Maybe in the future someone will get something to work, and as soon as that happens it will be posted here in the forums..
So is this version rootable with engboot or not? I cannot find a definite answer.

Yea it is.

28.85-17 ota?

Has anyone captured the 28.85-17 ota that they can share? I upgraded to 28.85-13, and system update is saying I'm already up to date.
Thanks!

Check this. Should take you from where you are now to 85-17. Credit to @NZedPred

Tried numerous times and mine will not update from -13 to -17. Sees the update but fails on the installation. Have done hard reset to see if an app was causing the problem. Stops with dead android and "ERROR" in red.

Download the file again and try, your file might be corrupted
Ended up flashing updated stock rom with Oct security patch. Don't know why the -13 OTA would not update.
Has the OTA 28.85-17 full ROM (not the TWRP version) leaked yet?
