IIRC, some K3s have been reported to take up to 5 minutes of pressing that key before they rebooted. |

The only thing I can quickly come up with would be disconnecting the battery...

Leave it disconnected for a long time (days) - it might take that long without power for everything to stop running on "stored" power in the electronics. You can find K3 teardown instructions indexed in our master index. |

Doesn't work. It connect to PC as "SE Blank RINGO" device (drivers in my second PC not installed). I can flash it again, but nothing happens anymore.

Paperwhite bricked
I come here once again, now with more serious problem.
This time I managed to brick kindle PW (doh, again!) by accidently damaging libdpm.so encoding (i changed that file a lot of times and one feral time i forgot to check the encoding). Although Ive installed the ENABLE_DIAGS rescue pack so I should be able to SSH to my kindle right now, but how in the name of God can I now put the ENABLE_DIAGS activation file in flash root if im stuck on 'Repair Needed' bootloop ? Any ideas ? |

@rinno: be sure to flash everything that's needed. What do you flash, and where to? If in doubt, I'd suggest to use Kubrick.
@uriziel01: I don't think you can. Given that we don't know how to put the device into USB downloader mode, your only option left is probably a serial (1.8volts TTL levels!) connection. Soldering skills and opening of the device would be needed. |

I use Kubrick for flash my Kindle. Maybe it in "usb download mode" and I don't know how return to normal mode. I holding power button for a 30 sec and for a long time and it doesn't help.

It should leave USB download mode automatically - except for some faulty-hardware conditions. My suggestion would be again to disconnect/reconnect the battery. Then there's not much else you can do, I think. A serial console might give hints about the state, but is unlikely to provide means to fix this.

Hi everyone. Although it can't be read in the title, could I use the methods exposed in this thread to unbrick a Kindle Paperwhite? In case it couldn't, do you know some method to do it?
Thanks in advance guys . |

Nope. Not until we find a way to put the device into USB downloader mode.

Thanks for your responde Hawhill. Then there's no way to unbrick a Kindle Paperwhite so far, isn't it?
