Neel, did everything go per instruction up until the attempt to boot into TWRP? that might just require a couple more attempts at running the steps from 4 I believe.... I'm unable to get a finger on my issue, but have read al 40 pages, so just passing what other, wiser folks have shared
Yeah everything worked fine up until TWRP. Technically I even got into Lineage OS, but when I tried to get into recovery to flash Magisk I wasn't able to even boot into recovery
Hi again,
github.com
I just have a problem with Magisk. I tried to install Magisk 25.2 with the custom recovery method via TWRP. The installation went through but I was stuck in a boot loop afterwards, seeing the Amazon logo over and over. I had to flash LineageOS again to fix the boot loop and ended up using SuperSU for root but I would prefer Magisk. Any idea why it's not working?
After following the guise, I got stuck on step 9 with this in my console:
Brick preloader to continue via bootrom-exploit? (Type "YES" to continue)
YES
Bricking PL Header
Check instructions on device
Sending sparse 'brick' 1/1 (484 KB) OKAY [ 0.034s]
Writing 'brick' FAILED (remote: 'the command you input is restricted on locked hw')
fastboot: error: Command failed
step-1.sh I get thisFailed critical init step 4
Firmware support not implementedfastboot devices its listed...i'm having the same problem, the tablet auto-installed OTA updates to 5.3.7.0 and has another update queued. i just turned the power off completely since stock doesn't let you turn off updates (eff you so much amazon).
Just did mine yesterday with 5.7.0.0. Follow this from earlier in the thread as it worked for me: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-fire-hd-8-2017-douglas.3962846/post-86043773
