Amazon Kindle Fire HD (amazon-tate)
This device is still running on armhf, although the processor supports armv7. If you own it, change it and test it that way. |
WARNING: This device is not recommended for future use with postmarketOS due to its armhf architecture. Alpine Linux (the distribution that postmarketOS extends) has been considering dropping it. In some cases, the processor of the device may support the armv7 architecture. If so, you can modify the device package and change the architecture accordingly. |

Custom Recovery: TWRP
This custom recovery can only be installed from fastboot, as the bootloader has no exploit. To enter fastboot mode, a fastboot cable (A.K.A. "Fire factory cable", "Motorola factory cable") is needed. This cable is the same as a normal micro USB cable, with the 4th pin ("USB OTG ID", "Mode detect") shorted to the 1st pin (5v).
