Device: kindle
actually, I have used only MfgTool to get into diags mode, copied mmcblk0p1-kt-5.0.0.img to kindle via usb device mode and used data.tar.gz and RUNME.sh method to replace mmcblk0p1 partition. For that, i used data.tar.gz posted in Select Boot thread (which creates RUNME.done file to ensure RUNME.sh is executed only once) and this RUNME.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
mntroot rw
dd if=/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1-kt-5.0.0.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K
mntroot ro
But before I used that, I have checked if kindle reboots back to diags mode and not to main mode. As I have tried different things, I do not remember now exactly how I did that. Maybe by using ENABLE_DIAGS file (look here), or maybe it stayed in diags by itself until I haven't changed it back to main with MfgTool (this is more likely, as at the end I needed to change mode back to main to get kindle boot into main system normally, but check it for yourself).
I have also needed to erase /var/local partition, which I did with this RUNME.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
mntroot rw
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p3 bs=4K
mntroot ro
