Source code for Secure Boot and Fastboot lockdown features
I've been attempting to boot the Kindle X Migu firmware on a standard KT3 over the last couple of days and noticed something interesting about the GPL sources for that device - they include the missing headers and source code implementing the Secure Boot and Fastboot lockdown features on the hardened U-Boot builds found on recent Kindle devices.
There's nothing in there that stands out to me as immediately useful for jailbreaking purposes (the ability to unlock a production device seems to rely upon verifying a RSA-PSS message against the public key accessible using fastboot) but I've uploaded it to GitHub in case anyone wants to have a look: https://github.com/katadelos/ufbl-features-lab126 |

It says "Amazon FireOS common kernel signing tool" in the script. Had a quick look and it *seems* like they are doing secure boot the right way.
Makes me wonder what happens to those echo devices. BTW recent fireos exploits rely on loopholes inside mtk bsp rather than bootloader. Anyway congrats for this nice finding! |

Good news and we might be able to load custom OS on newer devices as older devices such as PW3 can run android 4.4.2

I heard that xmigu is actually running android 5 and there is some way to install custom app on it(by serial port), but I dont know the specfic way of doing so.
