    Post [UNLOCK][ROOT][TWRP][UNBRICK][DOWNGRADE] Fire 7 (ford and austin).

    Ok, so I bricked it with the old script and thats why im stuck in boot rom now? Where do I go from here? If it helps I have the 16gig version, not sure if that makes a difference with the partition layout. Thanks for the help so far:)

    see attachment, no need to remove shield on gen7 as you can reach the point from the top right of the hole, almost as if it was designed that way. Just don't use something sharp like a pin or wire as you can easily scratch the board like i did going in blind. It's now stuck in boot rom mode...
