Can this clean up my Kindle fire tablet from 2017?
If it runs Android and if you can enable usb debugging in developer settings than yes, otherwise no.
Fire Toolbox is the only one that I'm familiar with. It's less cleanup and more hiding a bunch of stuff. Adding a bootloader and disabling some of the Amazon tracking.
I don't think there's any programs that allow you to straight up nuke the Amazon firmware and side?load your own android or tablet OS.
I see I’m using Amazon toolbox and yeah it just layers a nice launcher and hides Amazon crap. Doesn’t really sets a clean android install. I would love a nuke option for these tablets.
For Kindles, the Fire Toolbox will get you sorted if you're below FireOS 7.3.2.2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/windows-linux-tool-fire-toolbox-v32-2.3889604/
