First of all, you need to navigate to Total Commander, whichever file explorer that has root functionality and go to the root folder /data/ota_package to get the official stock rom. You also need root permissions to transfer this update file to the download folder so please refer to an Magisk installation page to properly flash in recovery. Push this .bin of the update after it downloads, cut and paste it to the downloads folder, rename the .bin of the .bin update file to .zip (Don't install the update in settings) then reboot into TWRP and flash it. I will provide the stock update image shortly for the latest version which is 6.2.7.1 on the Fire TV Stick 4K. This works on any Fire TV that's unable to update through the main ota page in settings. If you'd rather wait for a prerooted rom, go to @rbox for the latest updates. Thank you, let me know if there's any problems!

I have an A501 with 3.01 (Acer_A501_1.037.03_PA_ATT) The OTA update downloaded but I did not install it yet as I don't want to lose root. I can't find the update but I would like to back up the file if possible. I tried doing a file search but with one of the file manager apps but it got into a loop on a recursive symlink.
Some questions:
1. Where do I find the update (it is not in the cache directory)
2. Is there a good file explorer that can deal with recursion
- or do I have a corrupt file system?
Here's an example:
/sys/dev/block/7:0/bdi/subsystem/7:0/subsystem/7:0/subsystem/7:0/subsystem etc
Found It
Just in case you didnt find it, I used root explorer and it was in the cache folder long numbers.zip
There is a process to use it to update your tab.. I however forgot all of the steps..
i know you have to decrypt it. pull the update.zip out remove the boot loader.blob file.. This is not intended to be instructions just a guide as to what you can look for to find the information to do so .
Sorry i could not find the tread explaining this..
If you're on Tmobile and want the 5.1.1 update and on a Mac. Just
1. download the unroot toolkit here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2956434
2. Download the correct factory image from Google.
3. Unzip the .tgz file then the .zip file inside that, and rename the files so that they match the file names inside the unroot toolkit. Every .IMG to its corresponding .IMG file.
4. Replace the new files you just renamed (you should have only had to rename like 2 or 3 files) and all of the rest of the .IMG files into the unroot toolkit folder. It should prompt you if you want to replace all the files because they have the same name. Click OK.
5. Click on the android icon to run the unroot toolkit which will wipe your phone and install the 5.1.1 T-MOBILE update.
Worked for me!

Please Help me here what i am missing?
Note: It's my first time to Edit any ROM I tried alot of pack & repack tools but they didn't work for me. so i tried EFT Dongle to edit ROM.
I opened up ES File Explorer and found something quite interesting. When I went to look for the firmware updates for my Fire TV device, I noticed two .bin files which are named ROMv2_patch_1_0_hdr.bin and ROMv2_patch_1_1_hdr.bin. I changed these files' .bin to .zip and when I attempted to flash them via recovery, I get a corrupted zip file format after its been flashed. I will provide a link to these two files and hopefully I can investigate the format in the /firmware folder on how rbox makes prerooted Fire TV roms. I'm trying to see how Amazon puts their OTA updates in the /system folder since it's located in that directory. Thank you guys for making these forums as precise as possible! I will get back to you as soon as possible if you guys are interested in seeing how Amazon runs their operating systems!
