hello everybody.
first of all i will present myself.
i'm from France and this is the first time i have a smartphone.
my phone is :
Téléphone : Acer Liquid express E320 -orange
Android : 2.3.4
ROM : acer E320 1.013.00 EMAEA ORGFR
Bande de base : C6-1.013.00
Kernel : 2.6.35.7
after several check in different forums, i didn't find the solution in order to root my phone.
i have tried Doomlord V4 and V3 and it don't work.
i want to root my phone in order to delete some ORANGE application that i would never use.
then it can give some free space on the phone memory (that is very smal = 150Mo).
on a french forum, we are 3 people with exactly the same problem.
so if you help me, you help 3 people....!!
we have tried with all software available on the net but nothing as work.
please find in the link below, the screen shot of my last try with doomlord V4.
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9iSIWzMh8dueThpRnJBbGdYTlU
if you need more information or if you have some other things to test, do not hesitate to ask.

Salut, t'as essayé avec le OneClickRoot ? USB DebugMod ON ?
Essaye ici... http://www.androidust.com/how-to-root-acer-liquid-express-e320-with-one-click-root/
Sinon essaye avec ça... je sais pas si ça fonctionne par contre... http://www.actualitemobile.com/foru...5df3c2a0662ba09e5bc74a7a1&/topic,19874.0.html

@prg626
oui j'ai essayé avec ces 2 méthodes et aucune ne marche.
merci quand même
Hope someone could help me (and the 2 other french user i know with the same trouble)
thanks
Try This...
I don't have that device nor seen it but in my shop experience, you can modify the rooting programs by extracting the SU and SUPERUSER files from other SuperOneClick programs and pasting those files into that one you posted here and try that. If that does'nt work, then try to get that device in a custom recovery and find a root.zip flashable file and paste the SU and SUPERUSER files into it. Then flash the Root.zip file from the root of your sd card. I got that to work on alot of IMPOSSIBLE devices Sometimes devices are "read only error" so your only alternative is to flash from recovery.
thanks but it seems a litle bit complicated for me...
nonody has another easyest solution for me ?
probably someone has already reach the goal of root this phone... so if he can give us the way to do it, he will be great.
It would seem all rooting exploits are or have been blocked, the only way I have found to root the E320 is the Xakep ROM Flash from acer-club.ru although the rom flash is for 1.008.00 and not 1.013.00 (I did read that 1.008.00 could gain root access using DoomLords tool but not sure of version but depending on your phones production date may now be blocked) I have flashed Xakep ROM 1.008.00 after 1.013.00 now cannot update or reflash as the Radio/AMSS side of ROM is still 1.013.00 ... just to make you aware.... would advise to read as much as possible from Xakep's postings
Rooted Xakep E320/C6 EUU Hacked Update
thanks for this info.
probably i have found a solution :
replace the original ROM Orange (impossible to root) by another ROM Acer already rooted...
does someone can confirm me that it will be possible ?
i want to replace : OS_Acer_1.013.00.EMEA.ORGFR_A23G_A
by this one : acer_E320_1.008.00_EMEA_GEN1:
That is what I'm on now although it has given me the problem that neither the Xakep 1.008.00 or the Orange 1.013.00 EUU'S will reflash the phone.
I must admit I have not tried to solve this problem yet as phone is working 100% other than unable to reflash.
One thing it will not update is the RADIO part of the phone, this will remain as 1.013.00 and this is probably the reason for being unable to reflash.
Rooted Xakep E320/C6 EUU Hacked Update
Since it was stated in another post (possibly on another site just can't remember ) that prior to an OTA update root access was gained using DoomLords exploit, finally a ROM has surfaced *** :highfive: *** that may be of use - Link at the bottom of the page for the ROM
Yes I have it on my phone now and seems A-OK BUT..... and this is a big BUT!!!!......
Please..............(the dreaded disclaimering bit)
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE YOU CAN RECOVER FROM ANY PROBLEMS WITH FLASHING THE ROM
AS YOU WILL HAVE TO EDIT FILES TO 'DOWNGRADE' YOUR PHONES SYSTEM.
If you are confident in editing and flashing then by all means do so BUT I am not held accountable for errors or unusable software/hardware, what may have worked for me may NOT work for you.....
(Basically if you're not sure don't do it - I was only 80% sure trying it but I take risks and fully accept the consequences if I brick my phone)
What you will need to do is the following:
Firstly you will need the Temp files of both the ROM you are using and 1.005.00 ROM.
Current Rom...
No Need To Connect Your Phone For This.
Run the update program.
Search for (depending on your ROM) a folder in
C:\Documents and Settings\*Current_User*\Application Data\
the folder named ACER_EUU_Download_Tools (Stock Update)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or for
C:\Documents and Settings\*Current_User*\Local Settings\Temp\
a folder named 7ZipSfx.000 (Xakep ROM's as I have come across no others yet and the .000 can increment .001 .013)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Copy that folder to another location then cancel the update (you will notice if you check all but a few files are deleted - this happens even if the update succeds or fails to flash your phone)
Now do the same for the 1.005.00 update and copy the folder to another location.
From the 1.005.00 copied update folder copy the following files:
AMSS_C6.Orange.1.005.00_4G_2Die.hex
Android_C6.Orange.1.005.00_User_Signed.hex
flex-Orange_FR_C6.Orange.1.005.00_User_Signed.hex
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Paste into the copied Current ROM folder.
Rename the corresponding files - examples:
AMSS
Orange = AMSS_C6.Orange.1.014.00_4G_2Die.hex
Xakep =C6_Image_4G_2Die_MODEM.hex
Android System
Orange = Android_C6.Orange.1.014.00_User_Signed.hex
Xakep = C6_Android_WB_1.008.00_release_key.hex
FLEX
Orange = flex-EMEA_GEN1_signed.hex
Xakep = flex_Orange_UK_C6.Orange.1.014.00_User_Signed.hex
rename and add .bak to the files (we want to preserve the filenames)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now rename the copied 1.005.00 files to the corresponding files renamed .bak (to suit your ROM's files)
Make a backup copy of your now edited folder incase of any failure
(the EUU deletes files on success AND failure - we don't want to have to go through this again)
You can now delete/remove any files you no longer require (1.005.00 copied folder - .bak files)
You can now run the file EUU.exe from the edited folder and update the phone.
SKU - The French/Russian ROM's use different SKU than the UK ROM, the above method is the only one i've been able to
revert my phone back to a UK ROM - FR and RU ROMS can flash over each other and UK...UK is unable to flash over FR/RU ROM.

Any DEV interested in modding and maybe making Root Access persistant (think this is the only ROM prior to 1.008.00 update that is rootable) --==>>HERE<<==-- is the link for ACER 1.005.00 ORGFR ROM I found.
Have Fun.

:cyclops: . . . . . and here is an OTA .zip I grabbed - Official OTA contains .mbn & .img files so here's some info .txt
Has anyone else tried this yet?
I have tried it but I had firmware from acer-club.ru and I have bricked my phone, so as this post says be careful.
If anyone know how to get past 'aFlex download fail!!!' and the USB is not recognized by PC then let me know.
For those that come across this I finally got it working. I am not sure what did it but this is what happened.
Phone was left with battery disconnected most of the day.
I formatted a 4GB mini SD card and copied the folder from OTA.ZIP file on the bottom of Antagonist42 post.
Inserted this mini SD refitted the battery and whilst holding volume up and volume down press and held the power button.
Not sure if I released one of the volume keys but modem download came up without the dreaded 'aFlex download fail!!!' message.
Connected to laptop flashed with standard 1.013.00 firmware from Acer UK website.
Phone then booted and did OTA update to 1.014.00 and all looks OK. (sorry Antagonist42 was not quick enough to the OTA files)
I don't know what helped here but I thought I would let you all know what I did.
My warranty is still sending out a replacement phone tomorrow even though I got it going so I will try Antagonist42's root fix when I have the new one as this one needs to go back with the stock ROM.
Finally have phone working ( to a degree ) and moved house ( unable to play with phone and OTA ).
aSYSTEM/aFLEX/etc download fails
Initially rerun the update program and/or download the updater again, ensure you're not getting decompression/write errors on your PC as this will give you the same errors.
If after doing the above the error remains then it could actually be hardware failure ( still trying to iron my own NAND/partition error out )
As for running OTA over an error the OTA is not written to memory in the same way as the PC updater as with prior post my guess is corrupt file and not an actual 'brick' as running a fresh updater (the same as the rom that was installed and not a different rom) would probably have corrected the fault.
I'll soon post what other small but interesting things you can do with a stock updater that does not require hacking or vast programming knowledge

Hello.
Well, sorry for bothering you... but I really don't know what to do. I am too lost so the things I wrote here may not have sense
There is a recap at the end of this post, so I won't annoy you more than necessary.
Before explaining anything, I will show you my mobile specifications.
- Model: Sony Xperia Go ST27i
- Android version: Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4
- Kernel: 6.1.1.B.1.54
- Root?: No
- Unblocked Bootload: No
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My mobile phone was in the 6.1.B.0.599 kernel. Thanks to the user Bin4ry and his application Root and Restore, I could root it and gain superuser privileges, so I could uninstall annoying apps and customize my phone as I wanted with a custom launcher, etc.
Suddenly, every time I reseted the phone, it began to happen a strange thing. I will explain it detailedly.
- I turn on the phone.
- The screen brights with the SONY logo.
- The XPERIA logo appears.
- The phone vibrates shortly and the screen stops brighting.
- The XPERIA logo keeps until an undetermined moment.
- After X time (minutes, hours), Android asks me for the PIN number and starts working normally.
I was tired of this, but I didn't know what to do or why do this happen.
Today I connected the phone to the PC and Sony Companion asked me to update to 6.1.1.B.1.54. I hoped that would help with the problem. What I didn't know is that when I update the kernel, I must root the phone again.
That's because I tried to root the phone again, but the application Root and Restore couldn't do it. I mean, the application did the work, the phone reseted and the problem I had with the Xperia initialization solved, but the mobile kept unrooted.
This is the Root and Restore log:

After I investigated a little in this forum, I learnt that I precisely updated to an unrooteable kernel...
I kept investigating and I found out that the solution was downgrading to the kernel I was, then rooting and finally upgrading again, but to downgrade and upgrade I needed to "flash".
I'm not English, I'm noob in Android world and I'm retard, so I couldn't understand how to flash. I installed FlashTools, but I need to download the kernel and I don't know how to find the correct one for my phone. I don't know if FlashTools needs me to unblock Bootload either, but if I need it, I've already got the code from Sony, though maybe there are other unofficial methods...
Sorry for this huge Bible. I will summarize:
I upgraded from .599 to .54 and I can't root. How can I downgrade the kernel?
I'm sorry again for bothering you and for being so retard in this, but could you help me, please? I would like so much to become root again... You can laugh at me :silly: If I wrote something wrong, please, correct me because I'm not English and I could not realize.
Thank you so much :victory:

Download Flashtool by Bin4ary and Androxyde. Install it. Then You should find the 'rootable ftf' file of your firmware in your Xperia Go forum. Download it. and then put it in the folder where you installed Flashtool. Ex. If you installed it in C Drive, go to C> Program Files> Flashtool> Firmwares and paste the 'ftf' file. Then open Flashtool and click on 'Flash' icon. Select flashmode. Select firmware (Careful). Select Ok and follow instructions on screen. After it is done flashing, disconnect the phone and turn it on. It WILL NOT turn ON on its own. Before flashing, make sure USB debugging is on, unknown sources is checked & you are in MSC mode not in MTP mode.
Flashing this ftf will solve ALL of your problems and will unroot your device.
Once the phone turns on, go to your forum section and search on topics how to root. Once rooted, you can remove any unwanted bloat from your system. I prefer using NoBloat free from market. It's cool and safe app that backups all the apps you delete so you can replace them.
Hit thanks if ^^^it^^^ helped you.

Apply the "Invalid Partition Error" fix before rooting!!!
To avoid unfixable bootloop, first apply this patch from Acer.
Install the APK, start it, click on FixG1PMT (no feedback) and uninstall afterwards. Good luck!
If you're rooting with prerooted system.img.gz here are the Downloads. Pick the one, fitting to the firmware installed on your tablet, otherwise you will get into bootloop!

FAQ
Q: I'm stuck inside a bootloop after rooting!!!11
A1: The system.img.gz you applied, wasn't suiting to the firmware version installed on your tablet. Download latest Acer firmware update ( !!! if available !!!), copy it on a micro sd card, plug it into your Iconia, go to recovery by holding Volume up and Power button while device is turned off. Then choose apply update from sd card.
A2: If you cannot apply any Acer firmware, because you always get a partition error while installing, you should do a reboot after you get the error. A user reported that this made her/his device boot into Android again, showing the new version in settings -> info. Good luck
A3: If your device is really bricked you could try bring it back to life. Here you find help: link1, link2, link3, link4 (many thanks to Gilly10, drmad and Hamza91)
A4 (B1-A71, B1-710, B1-711 only): Unbrick
A5: If the A1 - A4 didn't help. Send back the device to Acer. Tell them you tried to apply an update from sd card and ended up in this bootloop. Sending device back to Acer over UPS is free. Good luck!
Q: Successfully rooted, but still no root after rebooting!
A: Have you installed Superuser App from Google Play Store?
(B1-A71 only)Q: Cannot update, always getting ERROR: - Invalid partition setting; 17: fat 238e8000:888e8000; Instalation aborted.
A: Download "Invalid Partition Error" Patch.
(B1-A71 only)Q: I applied update from RV05RC05 to RV05RC06 but still it shows RV05RC05.
A: There is no RV05RC06. It is the RV05RC05. It got on Acers Download section with a RV05RC06 named zip file. But the content is 100% equal to RV05RC05.
Q: Toolkit fails or crashes for any reason and I don't know what to do.
A: Run it again with parameter -d, e.g.: toolkit.exe -d and post the entire output here.
Q: Root from scratch on Linux doesn't work because of Error message: 'No such file or directory bin/posix/64/adb'
A: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs libstdc++6 libgcc1 zlib1g libncurses5 libsdl1.2debian
Q: Can i flash a custom recovery?
A: No, because bootloader is locked. You would brick your tablet.
Q: Are there Custom ROMs?
A: No, see answer above.
Q: Is my data wiped during root?
A: No.
Q: Do i lose root after factory reset or wipe date?
A: No.
Q: I get an error in Engineer mode entering telnet command.
A: If Swiftkey is installed / enabled try settings Google AOSP Keyboard as default.
Q: How can I start telnet server manually?
A: Try this.
What you can do with root:
Apply Supercharger V6 by zeppelinrox and significally speed up your tablet! [My small How-To]
Install Adaway, an ad-blocker for webbrowsers and apps containing ads.
Install ROM Toolbox and customize boot screen and other funny things.
Install Titanium Backup to Backup, Freeze, Uninstall any App and more.
Install Datasync to sync app data like save states between rooted devices.
What you can NOT do with root on these devices:
Change DPI
Flash Custom Recoveries
Flash Custom ROMs

Regards,
I uploaded a new version where I added some commands that hopefully resolve the permissions issues.
The problem is, that I can't reproduce it.
Are you rooting the Iconia the first time? or did you already have root before?
Regarding the progress bar. It only appears when writing the system.img.gz
I have Windows 7 64 bit, btw.

I will try to fix it asap. The problem is, that I cannot reproduce it.
I assume that the chmod 777 /cache command that I do, before the adb push command fails with "Operation not permitted."
But this I still don't know how to fix. If someone knows, tell me!
error in v.0.2.3
Dear entonjackson,
thanks for your work and for the time you spend on it.
Unfortunately, I too have problems with the tool for Windows since version 0.2.0 and also with the latest version (0.2.3).
The error messages that I receive are identical (with the same line numbers) to those receiving cakadut in his last post.
I am trying to root Iconia for the first time.
I tried with Windows 7-32bit and Windows 7 64-bit.
My configuration:
Iconia B1-A71 8GB ROM, 512Mb ram
Android 4.1.2
kernel 3.4.0
Image version: Acer_AV051_B1-A71_RV04RC04_WW_GEN1
Build Number: Acer_AV051_B1-A71_1.174.00_WW_GE
I hope you can find the solution.
Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Just uploaded a new version. Could you please try again?
It's hard to fix for me, because I don't have the problem, so all I can do is try. Thanks for the patience!
****, I think i found the bug. Don't try 0.2.4 it won't work also.

Ok, people. With pawitp's help I hopefully fixed the permissions bug.
The problem was, that i was trying to chmod the /cache directory directly from adb shell, which isn't possible. I forgot, that this needs to be done from telnet. So in 0.2.6 I'm setting permission with telnet. This should fix it!
Please report!
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

I will try to do a video tutorial, but it's very easy to do.
Download and install Ex Dialer & Contacts.
Launch the app.
Dial *#*#ENGMODE#*#*.
Swipe from right to left (to Connectivity). Then choose CDS Information and Network Utility.
There you paste this command: /data/local/tmp/busybox telnetd -l /system/bin/sh -p 1234
stell no thing happen maybe i must upgrade to pro version ???

Thanks entonjackson,
unfortunately with version 0.2.6 I can not get the ADB connection with the tablet. The message it gives me is:
"Trying to Establish ADB Connection (If this hangs, ADB Connection failed. CMD Shell Close and open a new one) ..."
and remains so without making the connection.
If I run the command 'adb devices' in another command line session, the device is seen correctly (0123456789ABCDEF device),
but when I run the new version (0.2.6) of the tool, the message is what I wrote above.
Thank you for your patience.

Hi, SDC
I know this has been ask before, I searched and couldn't find the answer though, I would like to get the source code for the launchers , I use the Linux version of this method, cause I don't have windows, and would like to convert the recovery.launcher triggers and so forth into a shell script rather that use binary file.
If you have a shell script already can you post it if not, can you post or give me a link to your binary files source code?

I'm going to post the source after I finish getting the thread put together I just wanted to get it up yesterday.
As for doing it through shell scripts the reason its binary is because if /system is mounted or any prebuilt binary has a dependency on a shared library it makes it extremely difficult some times impossible to stop services and unmount /system and such.
But I hope to have everything finish by the end of the day.

The problem I'm having is no usb debugging, only debugging via lan. I can get adb to work but not working with fastboot in the bootloader(droidboot). I have a post about it in this section, search for "aa3-600"

You use Linux or windows? If Linux, you may need to use my fastboot binary, anyway if using Linux while in fastboot mode use terminal type lsusb.
Do you see your device listed?

Root!
Thank you for this!
I successfully rooted my V8 3830 KK4.4 V1.33 no modem with T3 - in about 4 mins. tops.
FYI:
I connected and launched the launcher from the IntellAndroid-FBRL folder. Typed ACCEPT and got the green screen. Chose T3. The tablet rebooted into fastboot and files where loaded, But then fastboot turned red and said "device unauthorized" when CWM popped onto my tablet. (maybe it's suppose to do that, DK) and yes, US debugging was on, I flashed the SU zip, rebooted, all is well. SU updated and working fine. I was able to remove all the crapwear. :laugh:
thank you SDC!
Quick question - Do any of the intel devices have unlocked bootloader?? Thought I read somewhere somebody was able to install a factory 4.3 or 4.2 on a Dell venue and the bootloader unlocked?
Testers wanted: Anyone who uses this method, let me know if you can access stock recovery after this method.

Thanks to the amazing work by our active member @bibikalka, a method was found to unbrick these devices Thread link here. The method he found was slightly tedious for some people, so I've decided to put together a Linux iso that you can boot into on your computer with everything you need to get your device running again. It uses the same methods proposed but makes things easier. This comes with all the necessary drivers, scripts to do everything you need, all the img files needed to flash, a hex editor for advanced users, and more. Before the scripts included in this OS, determining the option (A, B, or C) to take in order to unbrick the device required .part files to be evaluated manually. Now with the custom script, it can quickly evaluate what option to take.
Video Instructions
Brief Instructions
1. Download the Linux iso:
Linux ISO
2. Burn the iso to a USB drive or cd
3. Boot into the operating system
4. Type "root" at the login prompt
5. Right click on the desktop and choose file manager. Go to "aftv2-tools" folder
6. Right click on file manager and press "open in terminal"
7. From device turned off, enter command "./handshake.py", then plug in device. You may need to do this a couple times to get a connection. Try pressing volume keys & power etc to get it connected. See video if you have problems
8. After handshake is complete, run "./reader.sh"
9. After all addresses are read in, run "./determineOption.sh". You should get back a result of A, B, or C
10. Depending on the option returned (A,B,or C), run "./readerSpecialOptionA.sh", "./readerSpecialOptionB.sh", or "./readerSpecialOptionC.sh". This is an optional step but may be useful if you want to back up part files or their were no options available. Back up part files to a usb drive if you want to be safe.
11. Now the actual unbricking. Run "./unbrickOptionA.sh", "./unbrickOptionB.sh", or "./unbrickOptionA.sh" depending on your option. This can take about 40 minutes
12. hold volume up and run "./complete.sh" at the same time to get into TWRP
13. boot into your default operating system on your computer
BE VERY CAREFUL FROM NOW ON
13. We will be installing Fire OS 5.3.1. If you are not installing this ROM, make sure you know what you are doing. Download the ROM:
update-kindle-20.5.5.2_user_552153420.bin
14. Download 5.4.1_1133_stock_recovery_uboot.zip: 5.4.1_1133_stock_recovery_uboot.zip. Without this you could turn your device into a paperweight. This installs stock recovery and a uboot version that MUST be installed. This file was taken from the thread here: how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps
15. Rename the ROM extension from .bin to .zip
16. Transfer the two files to the Fire
17. Do a factory reset. Flash the ROM and uboot&recovery file
18. Reboot! Your device should now be working. It will take about 15 mins to boot up.
Big thanks to @bibikalka for helping work everything out and for the initial unbrick method.

well, after seriously struggling with the parent thread mentioned in the OP I've managed to get to TWRP & am just waiting for my win10 machine to install it's updates before attempting to adb push the uboot & zip files for installation back to fireOS.
feels great to see the screen displaying something other than the looping amazon logo after months of frustration. I do not have the words to express my gratitude for @powerpoint45 for an excellent & well thought through tool and walkthrough. special mention also goes out to @bibikalka

great to hear! I hope everything works for you! After you get everything done, can you check if you can get into recovery.
after flashing both zips & rebooting I've now got my working fire (OS 5.3.1.0) back. thank you Mr PowerPoint!
i tried rebooting to recovery & it now takes me to the stock amazon recovery not TWRP..... which is unfortunate.
I did get asked if I wanted to install SuperUser which was a no-brainer YES. although I'm staying offline until I identify a functional (fast) flavour of android to flash. suggestions welcome.

Good to hear everything is working. Ya TWRP does not work with 5.x bootloader. Good to hear you can get into stock recovery because I had some incidents where I could not get into it. Thanks for responding. The only custom ROM ATM is CM13.

sorry to trouble you again but do you know where I can find a guide/walkthrough of how to root via adb & install twrp or cwm to allow flashing of a rom & gapps..
I can only find the kingroot method & the CM11 rom discussion. where might I find the CM13 you mentioned?
I have searched fruitlessly. I guess I just need a little guidance to avoid running straight into another brick.
cheers.

I meant to say CM11. This guide is probably one of the best http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950/page1
This is a bit older one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-downgrade-to-4-5-3-root-device-t3139351/page1
In order to have TWRP, you must have a 4.x bootloader so CM11 would work with it.
Thank you
I have a question I can work downgrade from 5.3.1 to 4.5.3

Unfortunately, did not respond
I worked

Waiting for preloader...
Found port = /dev/cu.usbmodem1420
Handshake complete!
In the second step does not respond to the order ./reader.sh
Also tried
/.read_mmc.py 0x0000000 0x1000 0x0000000.part
Does not respond
By the way tried way on more than one device
And tried through the system Max os x and the system arch-custom-firehd67-unbrick100516.iso did not work and also the same result
MY device Amazon Fire HD 6 version 5.3.1 All functions work, but I need to work downgrade to 4.5.3
Is there a solution to my problem

@powerpoint45 thanks for the pointers. I am now the proud owned of an hd6 booting straight into cm11 & it's been well worth the wait. I am forever in your digital debt.

I am also getting the same results with my HD 7 4th gen. The handshake completes just fine, but the reader just hangs. When I'm in recovery, I get errors saying the /cache folder failed to mount. I'm thinking the memory is corrupt and there is no way to fix this.

Unfortunately it appears that with the latest bootloader on the latest Amazon update that they have disabled these commands (such as reading and writing). Unfortunately if you can't get into recovery with (vol+ & power) then it is currently unrecoverable. Best option for an unrecoverable device would be to buy another motherboard from eBay or some place. They are pretty cheap and easy to replace. I've had to do it a couple times now.
Confused
First you say it should be OK to downgrade:

Although, it's unclear how, since reports indicate that sideloading older
firmware bricks the device (or, does that only apply to 5.x?).
Then, we learn that the preloader trick (from aftv2-tools) doesn't work anymore:

BTW, are we sure that this is *disabled* as opposed to _tweaked_?
(e.g. by changing the protocol slightly by, say, requiring an extra byte
or two "confirmation" before execution? has anyone bothered reversing
the bootloader? [Please excuse my ignorance, but would this be handled
by UBOOT, TEE1, or some other component?])
So, what's the current best option for 5.3.1?

OK. So, I found this post by @zeroepoch,
which makes it very clear that said exercise has been performed for the AFTV2...
No reason to believe that this would be different for the Fire HD7...

My understanding is that you only need to worry about bricking if You are downgrading to another lollypop ROM. We found out that the device has a fuse that is set in later lollypop ROMs where it will check against the current version. But this check only seems to be on lollipop ROM's. As for the aftv2 protocol, you might be right but I don't know enough about that yet to know. Currently we have no unbrick method for latest bootloader. If you can get into recovery then you could sideload but most can't get into recovery during brick.
I've followed the steps but not into twrp, only screen amazon and reset. I'm not good at English
