I would take a look, can't make any promises though
I wouldn't mind sending you mine or testing for you. It's just been sitting in a drawer waiting for someone like you to come around.

Is the bounty completely over? Or is there still an active one for unlocking the HD8 2017?
It would be amazing if you can figure out a bootloader unlock. I guess there are more differences than I thought between the 2018 vs 2017 HD8... Unfortunately, I am stuck with two of the older models that I was planning to wall mount in my home, but the old webview that fireOS uses many of my home assistant cards are broken...
My HD10 with lineageos is working great though and I would love to give the HD8 the same treatment.

4P.S. I have seen echos of fastboot being used to flash images. We know that's not possible as the current setup stands. So if my research in the past year was at all right, then we can use the kit I have to build and sign factory images (with official tools and official signatures included), to our hearts content. It just so happens I have the kit with everything needed to do just that, including the source code to the bootloaders and kernel (mediatek) as well as other proprietary things. We just need to get.this fastboot built.

I would rather use the newest exploitable LK to ensure compatibility with the newest boot-images.
The HD10 forces 64-Bit kernel which makes the exploit more difficult and also requires repartitioning the device.
This would also mean decreasing the size of userdata-partition by about 110MiB and an increased boot-time of about 10 seconds.
It also requires a factory-reset since userdata needs to be reformatted.
I actually have a working exploit for another device that also forces 64 bit, so I know it's possible.
Unfortunately I don't own a Fire HD10, which I would need to work on it.
