How do you go back to OS 4?

Well you can try following the instructions using the proper download link for your device.

Now saying that most likely Amazon will just resend the 5.1.1. update to "fix" it.



its funny as I would give my left leg to get the update...

You can downgrade https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=201980430. You will have to factory reset first though.

That would cause a problem for me, and explained some issues I had when I wanted to borrow hubbys HD6 for a trip to the hospital.

Yep, only 4th and 5th Gen devices get OS 5. My 3rd gen HDX 8.9 is also left out in the cold.

Yay! Thanks! Manually updating my HD7 right now. I've been checking for updates twice a day for over a week so now I can stop obsessing over it. I'm really loving 5 on my new HD8 so I'll be glad to have it on the 7.
