How to enter flash mode
- Your bootloader must be unlocked via this method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/development/unlock-fire-t3899860
- TWRP can be reached by holding Volume Down and Power at boot.
Installation
WARNING: PMOS needs to be flashed using TWRP instead of fastboot so the boot.img can be patched with the amonet exploit. |
pmbootstrap init pmbootstrap install --android-recovery-zip # Make sure you're booted into TWRP at this point and Started ADB Sideload on the device pmbootstrap flasher --method=adb sideload
