Jailbreak Kindle Touch 5.3.2 - Page 3

sahara1974 · 01-30-2013, 10:18 AM

After the 6th point you should have a new network Kindle. In the properties of the network connection to send ip 192.168.15.201. This is for Windows 7
It then starts Putti

How do you configure a computer's USB network interface? I've tried looking online but to no avail. By the way, I'm on a Mac with 10.7 as the OS.

Please help?

twobob posted that answer, with pictures, recently somewhere here for it - search his posts.
OR, the wiki index pages in the forum sticky.

Thank you for the reply. I managed to get to the last part without errors.

Last question: How do I know if my Kindle has been successfully jailbroken? Is there a way to check?

Thank you

Yes. Install any of the custom updates, for instance usbnetwork.

Hey, So I'm trying to jailbreak but after getting into fastboot with mfgTool and using the fastboot tool to try to flash kt_5.0.0-diags_kernel.img, I get an error saying 'writing
'kt_5.0.0-diags_kernal'...
FAILED (remote: Invalid partition)'

Help would be appreciated, thanks

fastboot flash kt_5.0.0-diags_kernel

twobob · 01-30-2013, 11:47 AM

fastboot flash diags_kernel kt_5.0.0-diags_kernel (from memory, CHECK THAT, I just did)

You are missing a target alias. This is a bad tool to use without understanding. It can do very bad things... (you asked it - with your malformed command - to write from STDIN to an unknown target partition called kt_5.0.0-diags_kernel from what I can make of the error, thanks goodness you dont have one called that ; ) )

try fastboot --help - worth a read. For sure.

ixtab · 01-30-2013, 11:49 AM

*sigh*. I have even provided the exact commands. You only have to copy/paste them. *sigh*

knc1 · 01-30-2013, 11:50 AM

That one (without a target specified) should have errored out without any damage.
But only as a matter of luck.

As twobob said: at least read the help file!

Hi everyone! I'm trying to do JB on KT 5.3.2. Previously I posted a long post, but in the meantime I found what I looked for in "Small debricking guide for “noobs”" thread. I think it will work, because I haven't checked it yet - having concerns about file versions.
As my Kindle is working on 5.3.2, the files attached to this post are for older version. In this guide, there is a statment that:

Quote:

N.B It should be totally clear that:
- main kernel version MUST MATCH main partition version
- diags kernel version MUST MATCH diags partition version
- main partition doesn’t necessary have the same version of diags partition

Can I use kt_5.0.0-kernel_diags.gz and kt_5.0.1-mmcblk0p2_diags+ssh.img.gz for my Kindle?

For people who are having problems with Mfgtool -> download KindleSelectBoot from this forum, it consists proper Mfgtool for Kindle.

Old post here:

Spoiler:

Hi everyone! I'm trying to do JB on KT 5.3.2. Unfortunately I got stuck on second point.
English is not my native language, but I understand it without translator. However I'm not familiar with technical terms, so could you help me?
That's my brothers' Kindle, he wants new functions and I like modding. But I'd like not to destroy it as well.

It would be great, if someone could give me (technical dummie) Step-by-step tutorial.
I downloaded these files:

Code:

-Mfgtools-Rel-1.6.2.042_BluetechnixExtended3.zip
-kt_5.0.0-kernel_diags.gz
-fastboot_win_public.zip
-kt_5.0.1-mmcblk0p2_diags+ssh.img.gz
-Kindle-Fastboot.inf (file generated in libusb, I think so)
-libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0.zip
-libusb-win32-devel-filter-1.2.6.0.exe
-pubdevkey01.pem.zip.
- Putty client

That's all I have.

Having read those threads:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=171460
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=2000997
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=2002101
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=2001621

I think I should do this:

unzip, and upload pubdevkey01.pem to main dir
now - I should put kindle into fastboot mode, but:
when I use Mfgtools nothing happens (KT is not detected by this tool), so:
a) install Kindle-Fastboot.inf somehow, or
b) plug Kindle with Power button pressed, press Home button, release Power, release Home.

Next step - can I use fastboot_win_public.zip for these points?

Code:

download, gunzip, and flash the diags kernel using fastboot flash diags_kernel kt_5.0.0-kernel_diags
download, gunzip, and flash the SSH-enabled diags partition using fastboot flash diags kt_5.0.1-mmcblk0p2_diags+ssh.img
boot into diags mode using fastboot setvar bootmode diags, followed by fastboot reboot

Where do I choose it? On Kindle, or my Computer?

Code:

Once in diags mode, enable USB Networking by choosing the following entries in this order: N - U - Z - X

Code:

Configure the computer's USB network interface to use the static IP address 192.168.15.201
SSH to the Kindle (its IP is 192.168.15.244) using username: root, password: mario

I think I can manage it, I use Control Panel in Windows for USB network and Putty for SSH? What's the formula for SSH?

Code:

Finally, execute the following commands on the Kindle:

Kindle has any terminal??

I have Windows 7 SP1 x64, and XP SP3 x32, but can download Ubuntu LiveCD if needed.
Thank you for reading

Ixtab has provided the exact commands. You only have to copy/paste them.

I don't see how pictures are going to help with that?

Which is HERE (and yes, there are some pictures included on some of the threads.)

Much simpler: use Kubrick and select to install the jailbreak, then re-upgrade to 5.3.2.
