Any progress with "blacklisted" devices yet in 2016?

Im one of those guys with a paperweight. During the holidays last year, I ended up with a blocked Fire TV 2 because of a shipping error. No sweat off my back, as Amazon quickly sent the replacement, but still it kills me to have this sexy black box sit around and do nothing. Amazon doesnt want it back, they dont want anybody using it, and I am not ethically questionable haha. I am literally UNABLE to throw this thing away. At the very least I have an extra remote and power converter, but still... you guys know what im talking about.

Anyhow, Im not unfamiliar with small-component electronics and circuitry. I know we will likely never to be able to bypass the registration screen through the software, as ADB has not yet been turned on for USB or network. This leaves me seeking out hardware root methods to install custom recovery and thus custom firmware to bypass registration. But alas, I cannot find any guides on the subject, nor even a simple discussion. Can somebody point me in the right direction? Any discussion with some recent activity involving EMMC or other methods should suffice. If I dont find anything i suppose ill have to delve into this on my own. Deep waters!
