First-gen Amazon Echo Spot jailbroken to run custom Android

Tinkerers have jailbroken the first-generation Amazon Echo Spot, replacing its firmware with a custom Android skin and setting it up to report back to a PC. The modification turns Amazon's smart display into a general-purpose Android device, free of Alexa. Owners of the original model can reportedly replicate the process on their own hardware.

Why now: The Echo Spot has been discontinued for years, and getting Android onto it promises to give the abandoned gadget a second life, which excites the maker community.
