In today’s video, I’ll show you how to setup and install Android (LineageOS) on your Amazon Echo Show 5 (1st Gen) — turning it from a locked-down Alexa device into a fully functional Android smart display. -------------------------- A massive thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video — they’re my go-to for PCBs, 3D printing, and CNC manufacturing.

This lets you install your own apps, integrate it with Home Assistant, and finally take control of your Echo Show — no more Alexa restrictions. 😎 Checkout the Overview video here : https://youtu.be/bRlWNrB2dDI A Massive thankyou to Roger Ortiz for the Bootloader Exploit and bengris32 for the awesome LineageOS build for the echo show. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This process works only on the Echo Show 5 (1st Gen). Unlocking, rooting, or flashing firmware may brick your device — proceed at your own risk. Amazon can (and likely will) patch this exploit in future updates, so check the latest XDA threads before starting. ------------------------------ 📚 RESOURCES 🔗 Echo Show 5 Unlock Guide https://xdaforums.com/t/unlock-root-twrp-unbrick-amazon-echo-show-5-1st-gen-2019-checkers.4762900/ 🔗 Echo Show 5 LineageOS Guide https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-unofficial-11-checkers-lineageos-18-1-for-the-amazon-echo-show-5-2019.4763475/ 🔗 LineageOS ROM (Unofficial 18.1) ( LineageOS build by bengris32) https://github.com/amazon-oss/releases/releases/download/lineage-18.1-checkers-v0.3/lineage-18.1-20251025-UNOFFICIAL-checkers.zip 🔗 Fire ADB Drivers (Amazon Docs) https://amzndevresources.com/firetablets/kindle_fire_usb_driver.zip 🔗 Amonet Checker v1.1.2 (By Roger Ortiz) https://xdaforums.com/attachments/amonet-checkers-v1-1-2-zip.6286798/ 🔗 Home Assistant Companion App APK https://github.com/home-assistant/android/releases/download/2025.11.1/app-full-release.apk 🔗 R0rt1z2 GitHub https://github.com/R0rt1z2/amonet/tree/mt8163-checkers 🧠 Project Credits: Roger Ortiz & XDA Developers ⌚ TIMESTAMPS 00:40 – Intro / Why Android on Echo Show 00:42 – About The Exploit 01:16 – Things To Note 01:49 – Things You Will Need 02:07 – Update Your Echo (Version 6.5.7.0 / 6.5.7.1) 02:46 – Part 1 (Install FireADB Drivers) 03:25– Part 2 (ADB Install) 04:37– Part 3 (Amonet) 05:22– Part 4 (Entering FastBoot) 05:59 – Running Amonet 06:33– PCBWay (Todays Sponsor) 07:15– TWRP 07:32– Part 5 (Installing LineageOS) 09:48 – Lineage Setup (Android Wizard) 10:17– How I've been using the device 10:55 - Part 6 (Setup Developer Mode) 11:54 - Part 7 (How To Add APKs) 12:42 - Recommended Changes 13:17 - Summary And Outro 💬 Want to see the Echo Show 8 exploit or a guide on using your Echo as a Home Assistant satellite?
