Hi All,

Been pointed to this thread by Silver18 in regards to help with replacing the files on a K4NT so that it is reset to factory conditions.

Firstly my Kindle isn't bricked and completely works, it has just had a screensaver hack done to it.

I was wondering if I can copy over the file mmcblk0p1.img (from K4NT 4.0.1 forensic images) to my Kindle in Windows using a normal USB transfer, and then run the following commands in Putty when in Diags mode.

(From Silver18 noobs guide)

dd if=/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K

followed by

rm /mnt/us/ENABLE_DIAGS
idme -d --bootmode main
reboot

Would that do it? Or are other steps needed?

Thanks
