Install lower version of CWM (lower then 6.0.5.1.4) first (can be done from 51.1.0.1) and then unlock boot loader and install CWM rev6.0.5.1.4a . Not need to be at 51.1.0.2 to install it if CWM was installed beforehand .

Fire HDX bootloader has been unlocked, can our bootloader be unlocked in a similar manner? http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...bootloader-unlock-procedure-software-t3030281
I faintly remember jcase saying his version of an unlock works on HDX and Fire TV.
Nevermind: it works! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58845492&postcount=27
EDIT 2: I have tested it myself and can confirm it works.

I always wondered how you were supposed to unlock these things properly. It's interesting to see the flash command isn't totally blocked out and it allows you to flash the unlock. Why did it take you multiple times?

I didn't know the leading 0's for the serial number were needed, unlike the leading 0's for manfid. I had the signer running on linux vm, and replacing the signed file on my mac.

the bootloader unlock can't work on 51.1.4.3 right?
cause the cuber signing tool wouldnt sign the image correct

p.s. just wondering if it would work how u would get the id's
@jcase wrote "Also, you can get teh serial and manfid from the bootloader itself, so you can craft it without the need for root"
wonder how one would accomplish that without root

Well it's a little early for Christmas... but here is a special gift. This will allow the bootloader to load things from boot or recovery without them needing to be here.

Could you please upload the source of the binary? Looking to port to ftvs2
