Snapshots of Katadelos's hacks

katadelos · 10-25-2021, 03:22 PM

Here are download links to the latest versions of various projects, packages and builds that I work on; they're grouped here for much the same reason as NiLuJe's stuff (convenience, easier to arrange and release) but additionally, so that I can hold myself accountable to actually releasing stuff (as opposed to letting it languish on my hard drive).

Stuff in blue is packaged and available, stuff in red will be released in due course.

Most of the items in this listing follow this format:
Description | D/L Link | Size | MD5 Checksum

Pre-built Kindle Toolchains:
These toolchains are built on Ubuntu 20.04.3 - I'm pleased to announce that they've passed the rigorous "Works on My Machine®" certification program.

Note: these ones can break your Kindle in ways that are neither fun nor interesting. In some cases, they can also be helpful for fixing it. You should probably have some means of recovery handy if you want to play with them.

Updated with links to diags images for K4, KT2, KT3, PW2 and PW3; still need to pull images off my K5 and KT.

I don't think there is a diags partition on the K3. Only a diagnostic mode.

And the required support files might have been deleted before shipping.

[EDIT 2021-11-20 14:11] Yep! In my Kindle all the support files are located in /test and the diagnostic script is /test/diags/factory/system_diags.sh

I have a KV, but I failed to PM you...

There is what the forum tells me:

Code:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

katadelos · 12-13-2021, 03:45 PM

Updated with link to KV diags image, massive thanks to j.p.s, lclrc, and MrTick for helping out with this!

Also added a link to a mirror of uboot-2014.04-lab126 - work on creating functional builds using this is almost complete so expect some Heisenberg/KT3 goodies in due course.

Finally, I've been working on a no-serial recovery/flashing solution - it's very similar to CRP but doesn't require the presence of a kernel or filesystem to function. Check out this commit for a sneak preview of how this works on the U-Boot side of things

Hightree · 11-09-2023, 01:53 PM

Is there a DIAG image for PW5?

Hightree · 11-14-2023, 07:20 PM

Anybody tried PW3 DIAG image on PW5?

Whats the CPU model in PW3?

You can't have diags on pw5 unless you want to brick yourself trying

Could you please explain why?
One could shrink user partition e.g.
SSH doesn't require user interface. One may have to move some usbnetwork files probably.

Wish there was a way to boot into an image to try say pw3 diag image without making significant changes.

NiLuJe · 11-16-2023, 05:49 PM

You can't make something out of nothing?

The PW5 is an *extremely* different board than the PW3.
