Hey everyone!

Following my other bootloader unlock method for the 1st Gen Echo Show 8, I’ve just released a method to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP on the Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen – 2021), codenamed “athena.”

Unfortunately, it’s not as straightforward as the existing exploits, and it requires a set of prerequisites. So, make sure to read the entire XDA thread thoroughly, especially if you’re using Windows!

Here are the instructions: https://xdaforums.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-amazon-echo-show-8-2nd-gen-2021-athena.4804958/

I’ve tried unplugging the unit. I’ve tried playing other songs. I’ve tried holding/pressing the widget down. Nothing gets rid of it and it’s always on top of everything else including slide shows. I’ve tried every Google search possible.

My echo show 8 and 5 both show a little box with my most recent stream. The box is useless. If you tap on it it doesn’t open a stream . I want it gone!

Hallo Leute, ich habe mir vor einer Woche einen Echo Dot Max gekauft und Alexa+ aktiviert.

Seitdem wird der Echo Dot Max bei den Tasten und drumherum sehr warm.

Gibt es Leute, die es auch haben, oder Leute, die es nicht haben?
