I'm being truly thick here, no doubt...

Having successfully connected to the Kindle in diagnostic mode via ssh, I am now failing at the last step - trying to overwrite /dev/mmcblk0p1 with the "forensic" image.

I have copied the mmcblk0p1.img file using the USB export function in diagnostic mode, but when I now cd into /mnt/us, there seem to be no files or folders there.

Unsurprisingly, dd fails:

Code:

[root@[192_168_15_244] /]# dd if=/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K
dd: can't open '/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1.img': No such file or directory

I've followed Geekmaster's instructions to the letter.
What am I doing wrong?
