[Q] Unlock bootloader Mac?

[MinerBoy004]

Hello. Is it posible to unlock the Kindle Fire's bootloader with a Mac? I read guides but it requires to have Windows installed, if I have to get Windows it is safe to do this with a VM? (Virutalbox, etc.)

All you need is Python and adb/fastboot.

Do I get Python 2.7.10? One guide said 2.7, but Python 2.7.0 is only for 32bit.
I got 2.7.10, and when I run cuberHDX.py, it requires GMPY2, but I am not sure how to install it

Ok, I almost got gmpy2 working, but when I go and install it this pops up: :crying:

EDIT: I fixed the gmp.h error, but now I get this.

Just use draxie's cuber.py, which doesn't rely on gmpy2.

I got GMPY2 working, and unlocked my bootloader!

Thanks for your help too! But i didn't know how to sign the unlock.img lol so i tried the gmpy2 way.
