Once the device was booted up, I enabled developer mode, enabled ADB debugging and enabled installation of unsigned apps. I knew the only way I could do this was to downgrade the OS and risk bricking the device – a risk I was willing to take for ~$35.įirst I did a complete factory reset on my device, and went through the setup again, this time following the instructions described in the post to input a bogus wifi password and then skipping the wifi setup. I then came across this thread and wanted desperately to strip out the Amazon bloat. Before ever seeing this thread, I set up my tablet and upgraded the OS further to 5.6.1. I purchased an Amazon Fire 7 7th Generation that came with Fire OS 5.6 installed. Hello all, just wanted to give some insight into my experience getting this set up on my device.
