Lol, thanks for the advice, I had origionally done this over and over often enough to know something is not quite right this time round. I have noticed a few oddities that I never noticed before...
When I load up fireiso, I see in the explorer left pane, Devices: AFTMM, and in Network, it shows mtp://Amazon_AFTMM_G070VM1602140DDA/ which changes when doing the first step. earlier, it rebooted itself after the first step, of it's own accord, and booted into twrp rather than the fastboot mode required for the 2nd step, and when I ran the 2nd step and got into twrp, the explorer pane then shows some 'omni amazon' maybe I just never saw these because I was'nt looking for them b4. In the omni, I can see previously flashed zips, including leanback, and my pushed background etc...
So this time, I did it all over again, same result, black/blank screen after fire logo.
I reckon what you say has happened, after all, I actually deleted my amazon account around 6 months ago, the one used for the firestick, and I'm surprised it lasted so long without an actual account, perhaps they cleared out the old account's, and sent an update to ensure this, because before I resorted to fireiso, even though the screen was black, I noticed in my tomato router, that the firestick was still active, and sending/receiving data, but I tried the stock, same result, black screen on start, no point in logs, since they are a-ok with regards to the actual flashng...
I guess others will be looking to fix this too soon if amazon has indeed sent an update, or cleared out the old accounts... I'll prob try again in a few days when my parrot shuts up long enough to let me concentrate, I wonder if he's saying, give up, it aint worth it...
Thanks for the help
