Note: these are my notes from a session learning about Amazon’s Kindle FireOS and the possibility of using Linux kernel exploit to gain root access.

What I’ve tried in chronological order:

Connected to device over USB via ADB.

The command service list lists all of the available services running. You can send a command to these services by running service call [service] [integer]

I’ve tried service call statusbar 1 and service call statusbar 2 and can see the statusbar appear and disappear, respectively.

What happens if we poke into some Amazon stuff?
