I bought a $35 kindle fire 7 a few years ago. 2019 is the year to make it mine.
Lately, it has been acting slow, freezing, disconnecting from wifi, and generally being a party pooper with all of the "offers". I just want to watch Star Trek /Star Gate while I am cooking dinner.

This video shows my process for unlocking a kindle fire 7 (5th gen) to run TWRP, allowing a custom rom or root to be installed. all per instructions from k4y0z on XDA.
Many thanks to all for your hard work!


To do this, you need a computer running linux, and the ability to open your kindle to touch two wires together. While I soldered mine, you could do this with a small bit of wire or tweezers.
