Unlock the Bootloader: Save Millions of Amazon Fire Tablets from Landfills
Unlock the Bootloader: Save Millions of Amazon Fire Tablets from Landfills
The Issue
Amazon makes millions of Fire tablets. They are durable, well-built pieces of hardware. But when Amazon decides a tablet is 'old,' they kill it—and force us to throw it in the trash.
We are calling on Amazon to release a 'Legacy Unlock' tool for devices that are no longer receiving software updates. Let us install modern, secure operating systems to keep our devices running.
Keep e-waste out of our communities, protect our investment, and respect our right to own the hardware we bought.
