Amazon Fire HD 10 2017 - Running 5.6.7.0 - Am I Stuck With Amazon's OS
I got this device back from my wife a couple days ago and decided to investigate rooting and installing a rom, with the goal of clearing all the bloat crap on it. It had been sitting for a couple months unused. I charged it and turned it on and it started to update to 5.6.7.0 right away.
I have searched many threads here to try to find a reference to 5.6.7.0 and the possibility of rooting and installing Lineage on the device. I think I'm a bit screwed at this point, as I believe 5.6.7.0 was a major update to Android 7.1 and there may not be a rooting solution yet.
I would appreciate some advice as to the possibility of rooting/rom this device:
Can I root/install a rom with 5.6.7.0 on it?
If not, can I restore to an earlier version and then work on rooting and installing Lineage?
Do I have any other options with regards to cleaning Amazon's OS off this device?
FYI, I have been running AFTB on it which helps, but doesn't meet my bloat clearing goals.
Thanks.
