Echo Show 5 Jailbreak Steps

Recovery

xda source

1. download the amonet package from the xda link
2. run sudo ./fastbrick.sh (or the bat version on windows)
3. connect via usb
4. hold down all three buttons and power on until "=> FASTBOOT" appears
5. once detected, type "YES" at the prompt
6. wait till it says you're good

Flashing LineageOS

1. download LineageOS image from the xda link
2. download the corresponding MindTheGapps package (ARM, match LineageOS version) (needed to install Google Play apps, ie Home Assistant)
3. on device, wipe system, data, and cache
4. on device, go to Advanced > Sideload and run it
5. on compy, run adb sideload Lineage*
6. when command completes on compy, reboot device back into recovery (only way to start a new adb sideload session)
   • don't use "reboot system" on the sideload page
   • ignore any "no os!" warnings
7. similarly, start Advanced > Sideload and run adb sideload MindTheGapps*
8. this time hit "reboot system" when done

Post-Install Tweaks

• Home Assistant
  1. install the Home Assistant Companion app
  2. optional: make a "public" Home Assistant user and disable external network login for it
  3. set Home Assistant as the launcher
  4. turn on the sensors you want
