Android 12 L somehow possible on Fire HD 10 2017? - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I just wanted to ask if there is ANY way to bring 12L onto this Tablet.
Is it possible to follow this and then install the GSI?
I already downgraded,rooted and installed TWRP on my Fire. Also had to open it to make the short for the hacked bootloader.
Any Ideas would be appreciated!

The Fire HD 10 7th Gen likely doesn't have a vendor partition. Remember, this never launched with GMS, so these types of partitions may not be present. That's like saying that device has a vbmeta partition, it doesn't have it.

Oh just noticed i put in the wrong link.
I meant this Guide:Correct Link

Is it still possible to uninstall system apps for the current user in 5.4.0.1?

The factory reset doesnt put it back to 5.4.0.0 anymore, it keeps it at 5.4.0.1. The device was 5.4.0.0 when I purchased it.

If you are on 5.4.0.1, you cannot uninstall/disable system apps anymore. You can try to downgrade back to 54.0.0 using the firmware here. A few new users reported a hard brick when they tried. I don't know whether that holds any truth or not. No regular users, that I have seen (may have missed them), have tried.
Hi DragonFire, thank you for the response. Do you know how to install that version of the OS, I tried to use the system update tool in device settings but it wont allow me due to "older version."

Put the file into the internal storage of your tablet. Power off. Reboot to recovery by pressing and holding volume down first, then power button until Amazon logo appears. When recovery screen comes up, select update from ADB. Open an ADB window and type:
adb sideload your.file.name
Warning: A few users say this will hard brick your device. Though no regular users have tried that I know of. So the decision is yours. I am not responsible for a broken tablet.

Also see this thread. Apparently you CAN downgrade. If you try, and are successful, please let us know.
Hello DragonFire,
For the Fire HD 8 7th Generation on 5.4.0.1, the attempt to downgrade to 5.4.0.0 using "adb sideload <filename>" in recovery failed, but the device was not bricked, everything was fine. The recovery simply showed that signature verification of the package failed.
Both good news and bad news I guess. I did a factory reset before installing the 5.4.0.0 file.

I forget...is there an option to update from SD card? If so you can try that.
EDIT: That having been said, I don't know the other methods (if there are any) to downgrade, as I have never done it.
Hello DragonFire,
Don't see the option for SD card.
The link you gave me on this thread is for Fire (7th Generation). I saw there is another link on amazon for Fire HD 8 (7th Generation). I used the one for Fire HD 8 (7th Generation) and the downgrade failed, bricking the device. Can not power it on or do anything.
No way to downgrade Fire HD 8 7th Generation for now unless you want to hard brick it.
This doesn't void the warranty does it? I didnt really break or hack anything, just try to restore it back to the good old 5.4.0.0

No. If you want to return it to Amazon for a courtesy replacement, you have 30 days from the day of purchase.
The warranty is 90 days though, I asked the support and they told me to mail the device to them and they will either fix it or send me a replacement

90 days is new unless you purchased a better warranty. If not, 90 is great news!
Amazon has a best customer support in a whole world (especially for the Prime members. BTW, do you know, any of your friends with the Amazon Prime can add you (i.e. your Amazon account) to his Prime account without any trouble? Actually, no proof of the family membership required), telling you like a very long-long time Amazon customer (practically since launch in the year 1997 or 98?).
P.S. Last couple of years Amazon's customer support has become a little worse (because of the massive outsourcing) but IMHO still the best on the world.
I really dont have any friends So no friends can help me test it out, sorry.

5.4.0.1 downgrade
Recently bought Fire HD 8 (7th gen). It came with 5.4.0.1. Tried booting into stock recovery and side loading update-kindle-50.5.7.9_user_579225620.bin in order to downgrade back to 5.4.0.0.
It went though following steps:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
Installing update
Patching system image unconditionally
script succeeded: result was []
Install from ADB complete
I rebooted, and baam dead tablet. Nothing on screen at all. Even tried vol down plus power.
Lesson is.. if youre on 5.4.0.1 - dont try this at home kids!

If you have an HD 8, regardless of the generation, you CANNOT downgrade back to 5.4.0.0. However, if you have a 7th generation Fire 7, you CAN downgrade. Weird eh?

Totally weird. But this is the game we play with any hardware vendor to achieve freedom on our devices. It's fun
Here's some more info:
I still have no activity on the tablet screen, but when I connect USB cable to PC and hit power button, PC will ding the new hardware connected sound. About a second later the disconnected hardware ding sounds.
I was able to verify the new hardware found is labeled by Windows as "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM (Android)" It disappears in sync with the disconnect sound.
I don't think it's completely bricked - I'll keep posting results of what I can get it to do from here.
Update: Couldn't get it to do anything else - Asking AMZ for a do over (replacement)
Fire HD 8 v5.4.0.1 is NOT DOWNGRADABLE - confirmed!
Hey there,
just tried to downgrade my Fire HD 8 (7th gen) v5.4.0.1 to the version 5.4.0.0 using the file "update-kindle-50.5.7.9_user_579225620.bin" and, as unfortunately expected, hard bricked the poor thing. Fire doesn't react on power button or any other buttons - just black screen. Using the same method I downgraded today my Fire 7 (7th gen) and everything went really good.
So guys, yet another (sad) confirmation here that the Fire HD 8 (7th gen) is not downgradable.

So far as I know, none of the HD 8s can be downgraded, regardless of the generation.

[DIY] Fire HD 6/7 bootloader unlock / ultimate unbrick :

The opportunity to unlock the Fire HD 6/7 bootloader and unbrick all bricks is upon us ! Sadly, it's about ~4 years too late.
Nonetheless, if you are proficient with IDA Disassembler and Python, please follow these instructions to accomplish these 2 objectives.
1) Zero out rpmb partition ( mmcblk0rpmb ) - this will set all the bricks free and enable them to boot (this is how anti-rollback is wiped)
2) Enable permanent bootloader unlock (more advanced)

Yeah, I saw the Fire HD 8 thread and was wondering if it'd be possible for us. Unfortunately, I'm neither proficient with IDA Disassembler nor python. And currently my Fire is on the latest FireOS, unrooted, with the wrong recovery installed. So right now I can't get into recovery to downgrade and fix it, and the preloader method doesnt work because the read/write commands don't work on the newer FireOS. I am interested in if this is possible though!
Update: I attempted using the files from the Fire 7 thread and this is what I got:

I was using the linux iso for unbricking, so I'm not sure if that had something to do with it. Also, I hand-typed that error message so if there are any inconsistencies that may be why (I didn't have an internet connection to post from the iso).

I think HD 2014 does not switch to the bootrom mode, and is in the pre-loader mode. That's why it says protocol mismatch. With Fire 7 I got the initial stages to work - so it did go into the right mode! But with HD 2014 I got the same messages as you, under Windows. So I think it's just not switching into the bootrom mode.
We need some old timers here if we are to get this done!!!

I'm willing to pop open the back of my Fire HD 6 to check some pins if necessary. Hopefully we're not the only ones wanting to see progress for this device.

Oh, there are plenty of motherboard pictures floating around:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78789821&postcount=90
Gotta find something like these pins : CMD, CLK, DAT0. I could not spot any labels on the motherboard pictures. If the pin is outside of a shield, it'd be trivial to pop the cover, and short the pin. Then one still has to get the right addresses for HD 2014 to make everything work

I didn't see any labels on the board, so I tried a few pins (the ones that xyz` suggested) and I didn't seem to have any luck there. It's possible that I wasn't holding the wire I was using firm enough against the pins, but I don't know. I'm not sure what test points on this motherboard look like and if you have any suggestions or ideas, I'm willing to give it a go.
Also, on a new installation of Ubuntu 18.10, it's not even detecting the preloader. It just boots normally. And when I try in Windows 10, the device shows up as MT65xx Preloader and won't show up as a COM device even after installing the correct drivers.

Yep - it's a tough cookie. No labels on the board, and button pushes don't work either to get the device into the BootRom mode. I could only get the pre-loader mode as well.
We will have to wait for somebody to figure out the electrical connections here. Unfortunately, I don't have time to dig around like that.
(HD7, 7th Gen)
Just chiming in, I tried a few pads on the board (on both sides), and was unable to kick it into bootrom mode. It also looks like our shielding is soldered on. :/
May try some other methods later, but likely not going to have the easiest of times messing with this thing.

Btw, you can always sideload FireOS 4, and get root that way. Then re-load your current latest fireos via TWRP, and install SuperSu.

I can't because I have FireOS 5 with the twrp img installed (I didn't realize that the latest update.bin didn't include a stock recovery image). And I can't use the unbricking iso because it doesnt work with the latest FireOS. So this method is my best bet for getting back to stock with a stock recovery.
Btw, I'm not sure what exactly happened, but I'm pretty sure that my playing with the pins messed with something. All I get now is the grey Amazon logo and it doesn't boot into the OS. :|

I see. Usually, recovery is verified each time you boot, and the OS will overwrite it if the checksum does not match. But, in your case, TWRP disabled that feature, so you are out in the cold.
I have 2 tablets that are looping on the white Amazon logo. I tried to restore them via aftv2-tools, but nothing worked. It's interesting you got the same glitch.
Look at the bright side - keep poking around now on your motherboard, you have nothing to lose!
I attempted to overwrite the beginning of EMMC - and got an absolutely dead tablet, see here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78871662&postcount=784
No bootrom mode as far as I can see ... One of these days I'll open the case, and try to disconnect the battery.

No I haven't. Not sure what the issue is. As far as I know it's still not booting up to anything. I just started school recently and I left my Fire HD6 at home, so I haven't had the chance to mess around with it more.
Just for test. Is there any possiblility that pressing the power button with any volume button makes the tablet enter in BootROM. My Fire and my BQ enter in BootROM when I press volume -. Just try all the bootloaders for see if one support it like 5.0.1.

I would love to get my HD 6 working again.
I recently ran the amonet script on my HD 10 and in a few minutes had an unlocked bootloader and TWRP. I read the HD 8 thread where the author posted his exploit and it really is an epic achievement. I'm also hoping the bootloader unlock comes to the 4K firestick as well. It's a lot of work from I read, but the firestick is popular enough to warrant that kind of attention. I have a Fire HD 6 which only boots to a recovery that allows me to reset or reboot but has no option to apply update from adb, so I've been stuck on stock Fire OS. It would be nice to finally get TWRP after so long on the HD 6.

Need a little direction - New Fire HD 10 to Android

My girlfriend bought a Fire 10 and now that she has opened it she is thinking her son would rather it be an Android. (He is autistic and does not deal with change well and his phone is Android but he has a dying iPad.) I found [ROM][unlocked][suez] Lineage-14.1 [26 SEP 2019] and I see this might be just what the doctor ordered but it is asking me to do a bunch of pre install items - Unlocked Bootloader - TWRP Installed. I have installed TWRP on a phone many eons ago and never had to unlock a bootloader (super early smartphone days when I used TWRP). Is there anything that gives a dummy, step by step method, on doing this Frankenstein change all from a Windows 10 PC? I have done the fastboot and ADB stuff in the past (got rid of specials and offers) so I am not squeamish with that portion of things. I do have some concerns on the link at the top to [UNLOCK][ROOT][TWRP][UNBRICK] Fire HD 10 2017 (suez) since this is pointing to *nux which I have not used in the past. Help me obi-wan you are my only hope.
This will be easy unfortunately. There is no permanent root or TWRP for the new HD 10 yet, which, BTW, is known as Maverick. The ROM you found is for an older model, Suez, which does have root and TWRP. Sorry man. You can always try to the Fire Toolbox located in the development section to change the default launcher to Nova which is much more Android looking, but that's not permanent either and is prone to switching back to Amazon's default. It's early days right now.

Fire HD 10 on Fire OS 5.3.7.0: how to get newer Fire OS?

Hi, can anyone point me in a direction of how to upgrade my Fire HD OS (5.3.7.0 7th gen) to the latest Fire HD release (7.0 anything, 9th gen)? I work on Windows 10.
I am happy to follow previous threads/instructionals on root, bootload, finding right downloads etc - just would love an expert to point me in right direction than going in the wrong direction myself.
Are you looking for stock or custom. There is no Amazon update, it was a hoax. There is an option b to have Android 7.1.2 lineage 14.1 but you must unlock first. Likely you will need to open your device, unless you have to access..
Start here for unlocking,

I am assuming you have a 10 inch. A Linux live disk will be needed, but instructions are easy, it's like cmd prompts. I can try to assist if you can't figure it out.

Installing a new os (maybe lineageos) on a kindle

Hello! I want to install LineageOS on my Kindle Fire HD8 5th Generation running fire os 5.6.8.0, build date december 31st, 2020 at 1:27 pm (not sure if that means anything). It's wiped right now, it's not even my main kindle, meaning nothing will be lost if i have to wipe it again.
I dont want to have to open it up and solder wires, because I dont have the equipment for that.
Where do i begin?
Edit: I am using windows, so I don't have a linux install.
Just checking- how long does it usually take for responses? I've waited about 1 1/4 days and nothing.
Did you look in this post? Check this out first. There is not a lot of Kindle development taking place, but there should be enough information to keep you busy.
