Looking for guidance to unlock bootloader. - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Can someone help me unlock my bootloader? as some of the guides are quite confusing, so maybe someone can help me.
I also have some questions too:
Can this brick your device? If so, is it recoverable?

Info on device:
Model: THOR (7")
Firmware: 13.3.2.1

Thanks if anyone can help.

Not exactly. draxie's script is written in Python, so it'll work on any platform (i.e. Mac OS X) provided that you have Python installed.

No, gmpy2 is not for Mac OSX...

It's universal, there just isn't a simple click-through installer for any Mac OS X like there is for Windows.
You can still download the source ZIP and run setup.py.
Anyways — luckily for you — there's no need to stress as draxie released an update that doesn't require gmpy2 anymore.

[Q] Building Android on Ubuntu 12.04

Hi,
I'm trying to build Android on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm wondering which version of JDK I should use? The latest Oracle JDK is v7, but I've seen multiple references to v6. Also, I can't seem to install JDK6 to Ubuntu 12.04. Are there any guides to do so?
Thanks.
There is an official tutorial: http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html
but i think you can use java 7, too

It works great - thanks!
But do you have any documentation of which files needed to be changed?
I ask because even though this framework-res.apk was probably extracted from an NC5 build, I don't know if the NC5 build in my phone is identical to yours (except for the specific modifications you did). Maybe mine has had some other "patches"/changes applied to it - so I don't know if I use your modified copy of the framework, will it undo/revert those patches/changes and cause any problems? Should I extract my original file and just make the changes to it that you did to yours?
I am a programmer, so I know what I am doing, it's just that I am not an expert with Android OS in every aspect, so my concern could be invalid.

How did you solve it?
Can you copy /paste the link to the thread / information you used to fix your watch?
I get the firmware backup for omate 1/8/2100 # 20140328 (this one can be update to latest via OTA) and flash it using SP Tool like the tutorial in the forum and then start the watch and then get the latest update via OTA.
The link for the firmware I used here:

Dear friend,
maybe I have the same problem with a 512/4 2100MHz TS. What have I to do to reanimate the watch and what for an firmware I have to use?
Where do I get the firmware?

[Q] Upgrading to 4.4.2 and keeping root on Mac

Is there a way to upgrade to 4.4.2 MK2 and still keep root on a Mac without using Jodin or Heimdall?

Just use Towelroot. It's an app that you install and doesn't require a PC, Mac, or anything else.

I can't find the app in the playstore and the Towelroot website doesn't seem to be working.

Visit the website with your phone and tap the lambda in the middle of the screen out well download an apk.
Install the app then run it and tap "make it rain"
After your phone reboots you should have root.
You might need to go to the play store and install supersu but I can't remember if it installs it automatically or not.

Oh ok sorry. The only way to do it in a mac is heimdall or jodin.
You might could do it running Windows via parallels but I have been told that is very risky to use Odin over a virtual machine.
I would find a friend or relative with a Windows machine or just use the only two options for Mac.

I tried to use Heimdall but it won't open the tar.md5 file. I'm downloading Java 8 so maybe Jodin will work now. Surprisingly, all my friends just use their smart phones as a computer. I'm the only tech nerd out of the bunch
Thanks again
All solved. This thread can be closed.
