Attention developers: please feel free to add to this thread, showing details on how to use the MfgTool and custom boot profiles to boot a bricked kindle to your choice of diags, fastboot, or main mode. You can modifiy ixtab's jailbreak to deposit a script into /var/local/wan/info, then run the ar11g diagnostic to trigger it. When /var/local/wan/info executes, it should check for and run /mnt/us/RUNME.sh.

Be sure to NOT change the diagnostics boot partition. Instead, do "mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmc" and make repairs inside /mnt/mnc/etc/*.

Okay? Thanks for helping with this.

Inside the custom boot profiles are kindle touch u-boot.bin files that have had an additional line of code added. Where the original code reads the bootmode idme var, then decides which partition to boot, the new code replaces the local memory copy of bootmode with either "diags", "fastboot", or "main". The idme vars are NOT changed. The boot process continues using the modified bootmode in memory.
