I bought a toy kindle fire 7" *5th gen 5.1.4 because it was just $50 and can run Boinc units and have netflix.
I read that you can't root that version yet, and was just wondering why? I'd love to hear some rationale on how people discover how to created new ways to root. Is this just some guy with a volt meter waiting for the correct signal or is it just about getting to PID 0 within the code?
More important than rooting (but probably requires root) is I would love to wipe the whole device and use it as an ARM linux learning tool.
Can I install a full (linux only and NOT dual boot) arm linux distro onto this device without needing to root it? (complete wipe). *5th gen 5.1.4
I'm willing to risk bricking the device.
Thanks in advance
