I have a proper boot.img as the developers on the XDA-Developers thread have already made a succesful bootloader unlock and TWRP bootloader for it. I am currently stuck at the kernel step. I have the source code for the original firmware, as provided by amazon. I am not exactly sure how to extract the kernel from it. I will ask on the IRC thread for some help on how to do this. Amazon has provided instructuions on building the kernel but the build environment is very outdated.<br />
<br />
EDIT (5 Dec 2021): I am still stuck on the kernel. The kernel I obtained from the m8173-dev github repo for unofficial LineageOS 16 doesn't compile properly. The kernel sources provided by amazon don't seem to be compiling either, I can't find exactly what patches to apply to fix the errors I'm getting...<br />

(I will put some basic notes on how to achieve this over here because I found the instructions to be a bit confusing)<br />
<br />
* Use something like a flathead screwdriver to pry open the box. <br />
* Depending on your software version, follow the instructions.<br />
* If you have to short it;<br />
Roll aluminium foil into a pointy needle thing and then short DAT0 according to the diagram. (you have to bridge the aluminium roll between DAT0 and the big silver GND)<br />

== How to enter flash mode ==<br />
Hold power button and volume up while device is turned off<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
Zenfone 5 uses non-standard bootimg format, so we'll need to create it manually.<br />
You'll need a working Zenfone 5 boot.img to proceed.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session"><br />
$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sd?<br />
$ pmbootstrap export<br />
$ git clone https://github.com/shakalaca/ZenFone-boot-tools<br />
$ cd ZenFone-boot-tools<br />
$ make<br />
$ ./pack_intel ./path/to/original/boot.img /tmp/postmarketOS-export/vmlinuz-asus-t00f /tmp/postmarketOS-export/initramfs-asus-t00f output_boot.img<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Then you can flash output_boot.img as you normally would using fastboot.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session"><br />
$ sudo fastboot flash boot output_boot.img<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />

I have a proper boot.img as the developers on the XDA-Developers thread have already made a succesful bootloader unlock and TWRP bootloader for it. I am currently stuck at the kernel step. I have the source code for the original firmware, as provided by amazon. I am not exactly sure how to extract the kernel from it. I will ask on the IRC thread for some help on how to do this. Amazon has provided instructuions on building the kernel but the build environment is very outdated.<br />

* If you have to short it;<br />
Roll aluminium foil into a pointy needle thing and then short DAT0 according to the diagram. (you have to bridge the aluminium roll between DAT0 and the big silver GND)<br />

There is a Chromebook with the Mediatek MT8173 SoC (The Acer Chromebook R13) it has a port of ArchLinuxARM that works on it.

I have copy pasted the page for the asus-t00f for now, will edit later, they are basically identical devices.<br />

<br />
== How to enter flash mode ==<br />
Hold power button and volume up while device is turned off<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
Zenfone 5 uses non-standard bootimg format, so we'll need to create it manually.<br />
You'll need a working Zenfone 5 boot.img to proceed.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session"><br />
$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sd?<br />
$ pmbootstrap export<br />
$ git clone https://github.com/shakalaca/ZenFone-boot-tools<br />
$ cd ZenFone-boot-tools<br />
$ make<br />
$ ./pack_intel ./path/to/original/boot.img /tmp/postmarketOS-export/vmlinuz-asus-t00f /tmp/postmarketOS-export/initramfs-asus-t00f output_boot.img<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
<br />
Then you can flash output_boot.img as you normally would using fastboot.<br />
<br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session"><br />
$ sudo fastboot flash boot output_boot.img<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />

How to Unlock the Bootloader And Install TWRP on the Amazon FireTV 2 -<br />
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-firetv-2-sloane.4222331/<br />
<br />
(I will put some basic notes on how to achieve this over here because I found the instructions to be a bit confusing)<br />
<br />
* Use something like a flathead screwdriver to pry open the box. <br />
* Depending on your software version, follow the instructions.<br />
* If you have to short it;<br />
Roll aluminium foil into a pointy needle thing and then short DAT0 according to the diagram. (you have to bridge the aluminium roll between DAT0 and the big silver GND)<br />
