I have never actually entered the DIAGs mode myself. I really should give that a go just to be familiar with it I suppose. thanks for the excellent references for a 3

Then it will go back to being a user Kindle when you next restart it. |

There is also an "exit diags" menu item that deletes ENABLE_DIAGS and reboots.

My K3 with 3.3 firmware (upgraded from older firmwware) has it in the diags exit menu. Is it missing from your newer firmware? I will look at my diags version number after I recharge my K3 battery. Because diags is just a program on the K3 main partition, I would think my 3.3 firmware should have the same diags program as yours. What version of diags do you have?

the battery maybe broken

The outside charger shows that the battery is in full charge. But the k3flasher still can not turn the Kindle into RAM kernel mode. I'm trying to charge it in the Kindle now. Can I just leave it when the led light went out after hours begin charging? Last edited by felonwan; 09-05-2012 at 03:22 AM. Reason: detail |

I also verified that my K3 with 3.3 firmware also has this same menu item, and that it works. The diags version is "Shasta Diagnostics Services, version 5.1.6". It seems strange that my kindle with newer firmware 3.3 has an older diags 5.1.6, when my older firmware 3.0.2 has a newer diags 5.1.7. Not a terrible surprise considering that my first K4 came with 4.0.1 firmware, but a K4 I ordered many months later came with 4.0.0 firmware. You should check your diags again to see if it is REALLY missing option "D)" that deletes ENABLE_DIAGS and reboots, or if you just did not notice it when (if) you used diags on your K3. If it is missing from your diags as you seem to imply, then what version is your diags? Last edited by geekmaster; 09-12-2012 at 10:23 AM. |

I did not imply anything.
I explicitly asked about version and the behavior described. |

And as mentioned before, perhaps your kindle battery is at end-of-life and has a total charge capacity too small for the kindle to be operational after it boots to the home screen (collections). A "dead" lithium ion battery will act identical to a much smaller GOOD battery, so you cannot rely on what a smart charger says, or what the measured voltage is after charging. You actually have to do a battery discharge analysis over time to determine the available capacity (health) of a lithium battery. Some smart chargers (like mine) have a USB port for a host PC connection, that lets you test a battery and graph the charge and discharge curves. If your measured available capacity is significantly less than the rated capacity, it can be considered "dead" (especially if it only has enough "juice" to boot up your kindle but nothing left to actually USE your kindle). You really should try a different (newer) battery, even if you need to borrow it from another kindle. |

And you STILL did not answer my question about your firmware version in either of the two posts where I requested it. What version is your diags? [Although, if your diags does indeed have the menu option in question, which you never acknowledged or denied other than your "implication by question", your diags version is really a moot point.] More Info: Implication by question http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex...on_by_question Quote:
EDIT: In the end, it really does not matter what method you use to get from diags back to main boot mode. You can choose to use the menu option provided for that purpose, or you can use a less obvious method. It is always nice to have multiple methods. The question only arose when it was asked what version of diags I have that DOES have a menu option "behavior" to disable diags. Last edited by geekmaster; 09-05-2012 at 11:21 AM. |

I tried to charge the battery in the Kindle a day and night, and now the info from k3flashser changed: $sudo ./k3flasher mx35to2_mmc.bin info I: found suitable device E: wrong transfer length, wanted to receive 8 bytes but received 4 bytes.

The first indication they will have is a battery that is too discharged to boot the machine, not even far enough to display a "get it fixed" screen. Last edited by knc1; 09-06-2012 at 08:51 AM. |

I found that the battery have 4 electrodes. I don't know the function of the two with signs of c and d. It is properly the circuits of security.
Is that possible to cheat the Kindle by using a different battery or a AC adapter? |
