How to unlock bootloader

The bootloader can now be through a hardware method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/orig-development/fire-7-2019-mustang-unbrick-downgrade-t3944365

How to enter flash mode

Press and hold Power + Volume Up

Installation

Due to the fact that fastboot doesn't work even after using the amonet exploit, you will need to export the boot image and flash it with twrp. Then flash this dummy zip which will force twrp to reapply the amonet exploit.

Another option is exporting a flashable zip that can be flashed using twrp. Refer to Installation Guide for postmarketOS
