Following up on the bootloader unlock exploit I published a few months ago, I decided to bring up and build LineageOS 24.0 (based on Android 17) for the Amazon Fire Max 11 (sunstone).

Read the installation instructions here: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-17-unofficial-lineageos-24-0-for-amazon-fire-max-11-sunstone.4803842/

In theory, everything works, and I haven't found any major bugs so far. If anyone has the stylus or the keyboard with trackpad, please let me know if they work properly.

The ROM supports both of them, but I haven't personally tested either one!

It is much smoother than the stock OS, gives you a much more up to date Android version and you can easily install GAPPs (Google Apps - GMS) :)

You can now acquire and use a temporary root shell on the 1st Generation Fire TV Stick 4K Max (kara)!

This can be used to disable OTAs, replace the launcher, and much more, even if you're on the latest FireOS version!

A bootloader unlock is in the works, so make sure to do this before it's way too late!!!!!

Please read the XDA thread carefully, as it contains instructions for the whole process:

You can now acquire and use a temporary root shell on the 3rd Generation Fire TV Stick / 1st Generation Fire TV Stick Lite HD (sheldon/sheldonp)!

This can be used to downgrade the preloader and, therefore, unlock the bootloader even if you're on the latest FireOS version!

Please read the XDA thread carefully, as it contains instructions for both procedures (downgrading and rooting):

You can now unlock the bootloader of the Amazon Fire Max 11 (2023) codenamed sunstone!

This will install TWRP and provide you with an unlocked fastboot interface. Please read the entire guide before starting:

You can now unlock the bootloader of the 2nd Generation Fire TV Stick 4K series!

This includes the Fire TV Stick 4K 2nd Gen, Fire TV Stick 4K Max 2nd Gen, and Fire TV Stick 4K Plus 2nd Gen.

This will install TWRP and provide you with an unlocked fastboot interface. Please read the entire guide before starting:

A new quick root has been released for the Fire TV Stick 4K Max 2nd Gen, It runs directly on the device to give temporary root access, which can be used to disable app packages and regain control over your device.

Root itself goes away on reboot, but anything you disable stays disabled. With this it's possible to use custom launchers, disable bloatware and block OTA updates (the exploit disables OTAs for you automatically).

This works on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max 2nd Gen on quite a few Fire OS 8 builds, including the latest one: https://xdaforums.com/t/temp-root-firetv-stick-4k-max-2nd-gen-karat.4798627

Rooting a device you own isn't illegal and has nothing to do with piracy, before anyone reports this :)

This works on the Fire Max 11 on any Fire OS 8 build, from 8.3.1.9 up to 8.3.3.8: https://xdaforums.com/t/temp-root-fire-max-11-2023-sunstone.4798590/
