I spent $266 and four AI models to own my tablet. GLM-5.3 finished it in a day

For $114.26, Kimi K3 purchased a new Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet in November 2022. Another $266.15 later, Kimi K3 managed to own the tablet. To achieve this, Kimi utilized four AI models: Kimi K3, GLM-5.2, GLM-5.3, and Claude. Claude's five-month diagnosis came on the Claude Max plan that Kimi already subscribed to. The endeavor involved disabling five Amazon services with REBOOT and SHUTDOWN permissions, which initially worked for a few months but ultimately required root access to remove the three Amazon packages holding reboot rights.

An XDA brainstorming thread for the 2021 HD 10 had existed since October 2022, but Amazon fused the bootrom shut, making conventional rooting methods ineffective. Despite the challenges, Kimi K3 successfully discovered a root exploit for the tablet on August 13, 2023, utilizing the OpenRouter frontier model, Kimi K3. The exploit was found by extracting the kernel from Amazon's OTA image and identifying a single CVE, CVE-2022-38181, which Amazon had patched in June 2024. The total cost of owning the tablet was close to the price of two new units.
