The same tool can also take apart either Amazon's or our update packages. Creating the contents, now that is a much bigger question.

Hi there,
I have a PW3, v5.6.5, jailbroken, with KUAL installed. I got the latest version of the rescue pack from the NiLuJe's snapshot thread. This is the one I downloaded: Rescue Pack | kindle-rp-20131220.N-r12672.tar.xz | 2015-Dec-04 19:51:29 | 436.2K | 2532fa7189fcff64cccc29b26e1d18f9 | Upstream I installed the .bin file using MRInstaller. I can see that it created an empty folder named 'rp' in the documents folder. However when I create the ENABLE_DIAGS file in the root folder and restart (after disconnecting the USB cable), I am not getting booted into the diags partition. Am I doing something wrong? |

I just attempted to install the rescue pack to a KT3 (G000K9) running 5.8.7 firmware and it appears to have failed:

Depends on where you got it from (and you didn't include the link you used).
Is it this one? http://mr-public.auth-2ac4bfee353948...-r13408.tar.xz From NiLuJe's snapshots thread. Notice the changeset id (-r13408) that is what is significant in the snapshot postings. |

Yes, I got it from the snapshots thread and it is the "-r13408" version. Where do I go from here? At this point I will be careful NOT to attempt to use it!

All I can suggest is to wait until someone comes along to fix it. (NiLuJe is in school - no available hobby time.) = = = = = Perhaps we need to add some Wiki pages on what does not work. We never had to have one before. PS: Collection Manager got fixed just a day or two ago. Somebody new, needed it, and fixed it. Yeah!!! |

I decided to give another shot at installing the RP on its own and may have more data. First I tried from KUAL:

first, check that error message (in kterm) -
The command to enter is: Code:
mount /dev/mmc /dev/mmcblk0p2 You probably want to put kterm in landscape mode (two finger touch to bring up that menu). At a guess, this reads like a scripting error - /dev/mmcblk0p2 is the 'other' OS (diags) and RP has to modify the diags image. But the script may clean up after itself and you will not see any mention in the output. Can't know until you look. |

The message is correct: Code:
/dev/mmcblk0p2 on /mnt/mmc type ext3 (rw,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered) Which rises the question: "Is that a left over from the failed script or did Lab126 change something on us?" This is an 8th. gen device, I would bet on the second choice but let us confirm. . . . Be sure USB cable is not connected - Hold down power button until pop-up, pops up, pick "Restart" - When it is running again, use kTerm and the same command again - Look for the line quoted above. If it is there, we have to re-think how RP should be installed, because Lab126 changed things ; If it isn't there, we just have to find the error in the RP scripting. |

Given that the mount was present I decided to first check the contents of directory referenced in the first error and have attached it to this post. It would appear that the file "/mnt/mmc/opt/factory/system_diags" is indeed not present.
I have also attached the mount output after a restart which unless I am missing it somehow appears to show that the mount was a result of the first error. I can only conclude at this point that the script will need to be modified to work with 5.8.7 firmware. It might be interesting to see where the problem starts, as it might make sense to downgrade to get the RP installed and then upgrade. Dave |
