did i delete the kindle OS files?
hi,
i've got a B008 WIFI firmware 3.1, which was running kindle-jailbreak-0.6.N, kindle-nolog_0.1, and kindle-usbnetwork-0.32.N.
i recently uninstalled all the hacks, my goal was to get to a clean 3.3.
i must have gotten overzealous because in my root directory, the only directories that i see with "ls -la" are:
- audible
- documents
- music
- system
where is the /usr directory? or the /opt? aren't they supposed to be here?
i don't see another partition either, so i am very confused, because i don't understand how this device is actually booting up.
previously, i recall i previously manually edited the /usr/bin/showlog file, and i manually edited some other conf files when i enabled SSH.
but now i don't see any config files anywhere.
my problem is now updating to firmware 3.3 now gives a failure. i just want to go back to first a clean 3.1 then update to a clean 3.3.
so i am guessing i accidently lost all the important boot files?
i can't update nor go to the kindle store.
yet otherwise, the kindle works fine and reboots fine.
if i lost the files, can someone please tar up the root files from a B008 WIFI 3.1 firmware for me?
or is there a way i can extract these files from the 3.1 firmware file, so that i can then do a proper update to 3.3?
incidentally, when I successfully applied the jailbreak to 3.1 a while ago, ever since, the kindle identified itself mistakenly as a "Kindle WIFI and 3G" model, which it wasn't, it was just a WIFI model. i doubt this is relevant though...
thank you
