Computer not running, no services. What you are looking for is something provided by the hardware, not the execution of software. Two choices in general: Serial port. The primary serial port is used by the SoC, the boot loader (u-boot) and then the Linux kernel. Each in the sequence of things starting up. Our prefix index system has information on accessing the serial port for all models except the Kpw. eJTAG. This communications path works down to the level of the ARM core of the SoC, even if the ARM core is not running. Nothing (that I know of) published here about using that on the Freescale SoC and/or the Kindles. |

Better to buy one, but DIY can be done.
There are links to the datasheets of the one I recommend here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=170566 What you are looking for is a 1.8volt, low voltage serial, to USB (or serial if you have a serial port on your pc) adapter. Avoid makes/models that have indicator leds on the Tx and Rx leads - geekmaster reports problems with using those that require almost as much electronics skill to modify as building one from the git-go. |

Yes, perhaps just buying a 1.8v adapter is better, but good luck searching for one, because most 3.3v adapters come with 1.8 meter cables. Last edited by geekmaster; 10-20-2012 at 03:49 PM. |

No problem with the USB adapter. I've done a couple of these with an FTDI. Here I will just use a voltage shifter. the DKU-5 cable is perfect for this, however this has 3.3v levels as far as I know, so the level shift still needs to be done. It's still courius, why doesn't it boot and gets stuck at 10-12% ... I've flashed also my data to it, and also the 3.0.2 kernel and rootfs successfully to it. Off-topic: while taking apart my kindle, I've managed to cut with the screwdriver the film that connects the kindle to the display So after all, I might just build one from the 2, as I've checked, it costs 66$+ shipment for a new display ... |

I'm attempting to follow this guide however none of the links for the multipart files work from medifire. It says that the download is limited. I have been searching for an hour now but still cant find the files anywhere. Does any one know of a mirror for the files or am I going to have to get a premium account to download these.

hm... Go to the forum above this thread , the "Indle Developers Corner", and click the thread at the top that says Simple Debricking method, and find a link to pastebin, where there should be links to download other rootfs files.(they should be 3.4 firmware, until the multipart zips are fixed.
