Same issue here in K3
Quote:
I follow the guide in wiki and download 3.02 image, ATK recognized my K3 after several iteration of 30s and volumn button, the flash took more than 4 hours for the rootfs.bin, finally both done successfully according to ATK (over night). Now kindle is at total blank, no response to any key or power button. Charging light permanent yellow and turn off a few hours charging, charge again appears same cycle. One thing strange is, now my computer can recognize it as MX device and install driver automatically once connect it. But the K3 wont boot up. Am trying to get 3.3 image and try again, since now ATK can recognize it immediately, it is just a time and image, then pray.. |

We provided a link to download 3.0.8 because of the CRC problem with 3.3.
Did you flash your image to the correct offset? Did you flash a matching kernel with your image? If you flashed it to 0x0, that could account for not booting (going directly to USB Downloader mode). Hawhill provided a boot loader and partition table image to flash at 0x0, in case you damaged yours by flashing the main partition image to the wrong location. I hope you did not overwrite your serial number and other "idme" vars. Can you still fetch the serial number from your kindle? Last edited by geekmaster; 09-14-2012 at 03:38 AM. |

You need to reset the boot counter. The simplest way would probably be to zero the persistent user store partition that contains it. Although on the K4/K5 that is mmcblk0p3, on a K3 it is different. There is probably information about the partition layouts either in this thread, or in the k3flasher thread. For more information about resetting the boot counter on the K5 (to get an idea of what you need to do on your K3), search the forums. It may also be in the K5 hacking wiki. |

@geekmaster: The boot counter wasn't so pissy as on the Touch on those older devices.
You can safely hard-reboot from the 'YKNR' screen, and it will do the 5 or 10 tries again, IIRC . |

Tried hard reboot 3 times already, still showing message after few reboot by itself.
I realized I flash image 3.02, but the bootloader us 3.3, is there anywhere to get the 3.3 image? thank you |

I don't think the bootloader ever changed, that would have been a bit too risky and simply unnecessary. But kernel and rootfs should match (if you want to upgrade later, that is).
I'm not too sure here under which conditions that "repair needed" screen is shown. |

But which KERNEL do you have? The 3.0.2 mmcblk0p1 needs the 3.0.2 kernel.

You cannot use a 3.0.2 kernel with a 3.3 main partition. |
