I wouldn't go so far as to call them idiots, just SLOW when it comes to updates. I want to switch service providers but sprint and t-mobile are eventually merging, and they will most likely be the first to roll out the 5g network in my area. the fact that i still have oreo isn't THAT big of a...

Been waiting on the pie update for a while now, checked for an update today and got excited. Turns out its just a security patch. Sprint why you do this? Why come no pie for me?:eek:

well, i'm sorry if that seemed insulting, i just haven't seen any updates in a while, i didn't mean to discourage anyone actively working on it.

any new updates? bootloader still locked? is development dead?

as far as i know, we only have root on the 7th gen, we still have a locked bootloader, so no roms yet to my knowledge. i'm waiting very patiently.

i am wondering how different the bootloader on the 7th gen is from the 2018 fire hd 8, and whether or not the bootloader unlock can be adapted from this post. https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/tut-root-hd82018-via-magisk-t3906554

thank you all for your hard work, i'm still lurking here, its only a matter of time before you get twrp and custom roms. i'll be waiting very patiently. software root on my fire hd 8 7th gen is working great, steps got a bit tricky, but i managed to fallow them just fine so they couldn't be that...

i'm watching this thread with my tablet powered off.... I wonder how long before that gets adapted to the 7th gen.

Hey now, don't start arguing over a stupid question. I understood that there would be a chance of a brick, thats why i asked first. However, as far as i know, there is literally no difference in the hardware between the 7th and 8th gen fire hd 8.

this is a dumb question, and one that might not belong in this thread, but has anyone tried to adb sideload the update for the 8th gen fire 8 to the 7th gen? because if i can't have root, i would at least like to have the most recent software.

enjoying the rom, for the most part everything works great, slight issues with signal, but that could be user error. only issue i have found is the camera, crashes when i switch to video, so i just downloaded the google camera app from the play store.

So, i don't know if this will help anyone, but i have a twrp backup of all partitions from my sprint ls885 running zv6, rooted but no other mods. if you want it i can upload it to my drive and link it here. i am willing to test roms if anyone can figure out the bootloader thingy, other then that...

Lynx K3011W Windows 8 I'm in a bit of a pickle here guys, i bought mine from new egg under a year ago from new egg, and i'm a tinkerer so i've been messing around with it doing different things, trying to install linux and all that ( didn't work) anyway, my recovery partition is there, but i...
