- Check to see if you’ve already gotten the OTA. Tap the quick settings icon (the gear on the upper right of your homescreen), tap More, then Device. If it’s 6.2.1 then you already have the update (stop now). If it’s 6.2 then you haven’t received it yet (proceed).
- On a PC, download the 6.2.1 software.
- With the Kindle Fire powered on and the screen unlocked, connect the device to your PC via USB cable (not included with the Fire). On the PC, open the drive folder for the Fire, and then the kindleupdates folder. Drop the software update file there. This should work just the same on PC or Mac.
- After the file transfer has completed (watch the status on your PC), tap the Disconnect button on your Kindle Fire’s screen. Disconnect the USB cable.
- After making sure your battery isn’t low, tap the Quick Settings icon on the Fire (that gear icon), then More, then Device. Tap Update your Kindle. The device will begin the process, and reboot twice while updating. After it’s complete, you will be running verison 6.2.1. Enjoy a less buggy, less hackable Kindle Fire.
