Hi there! This is my first post on xda, but I've come out with some fun findings. The method of disabling secure boot is kind of complicated, and requires desoldering the BIOS chip and writing to the NVRAM data, however, it's a simple 1 byte entry called "SecureBootEnable". There's also NVRAM variables listed "AntiRollBack", "KfAntiRollBack", and "OsAntiRollBack", and... Read more ..read more

I have a echo show 8 (1st generation) that is running the latest firmware it supports but I'm trying to side load apps on to it and it's recognized by my PC but it's not recognized by ADB. Is there a way to enable usb debugging ..read more

Hi it is a long time ago. Lastweek I got the fireTV update on the Amazon echo show 15. Without this change/update no chance for me to sideload apks. Funny is before the update the firmware is V7.5.5.5 and after firetv installation it is V7.5.0.1. Don't ask me why. Maybe they drunk to much. But it took me 20 min to find a workaround to sidekoade apks. @Amazon_Devs: Stop reading here. DO NOT BLOCK this workaround, make the launcher selectable again and bring the same Dev functions like on... Read more ..read more

The Amazon Echo Show runs Android and has several of the usual system components you'd expect from an Android device. Not sure how useful they'll be for modding purposes, but figured I'd post what I've found so far. Here are instructions for enabling Developer Options: http://www.aftvnews.com/amazons-echo-show-runs-android-and-has-developer-options/ Here are instructions for entering Fastboot and Recovery Mode...

Good morning, My echo plus is blocked (blue light ring). I think it's because of an update. A lot of people had the same problem. Is it possible to force the new update with my computer and where I can find the file to do this? Thanks in advance for your answers ..read more

So people, all people in this thread know that all echo's run android( oook fireos) and creating a cfw would be trivial because of what I've discovered: If you search amazon source code on google, you can see a page that provides kernel, vendor etc for amaozn echo's. WHAT IT also provides is verity keys!!!!! so even though bootloader cant be unlocked, why cant we build a rom that uses verified boot from these keys to create cfw? Share your thoughts.
