Hey guys,
tech noob here, so please be kind with me. 2 weeks ago i bought a fire phone and successfully flashed CM 11 on the phone using this method reddit[dot]com/r/firephone/comments/4e3edh/how_to_install_cyanogenmod_or_slimkatfire_nexus/
So a few days ago i bought another fire phone and wanted to flash it too with the above method. This time it was an unused showroom device. I removed the demo mode and could also get root with king root. I also could install safestrap but i get a black screen when i try to boot into recovery mode. I uninstalled safestrap again but couldnt boot to stock recovery either. I guess the problem is, that i need to update my device which still has Fire OS 3.6. Here is the strange part: If i check via Wifi, the phone does not find any new updates. I then downloaded the new OS manually to the phone storage and the phone then recognizes the new update. But when the phone is rebooting to install it, i'am stuck on the amazon logo (I waited 1 hour). I then did a soft reset and the phone went back to the old Fire OS. Why am i unable to get into recovery or updating the fire phone? Is the demo phone locked? It had a sim lock but i also received a code to unlock the sim lock so i can use any provider. Please help me, because i want to get to CM 11 with this phone too.
Thanks for the help.
