You should do this instead, to see the "real" /etc/upstart: mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmc cd /mnt/mmc/etc/upstart ls -al Last edited by geekmaster; 05-29-2012 at 03:24 PM. |

That Russian web page does bring all the stuff to one place, including my screenshots, my custom u-boots, my custom diags partititon (I put the "mario" password into the diags shadow file), and stuff from my other threads. I put that jagged line in my MfgTool screenshot to make it fit the MobileRead column width without shrinking it to make the text too small. He did provide a link back to my one of my threads after I sent him a message that requested that he give credit to the sources of his information and an optional link. He added the link, but "geekmaster" is not found on his web page. That is why I added the "CC BY-SA" license to all my recent posts (which requires user attribution when you copy stuff). Copying stuff without giving credit is just simple plagiarism even if you do add some of your own stuff to it. It is good to have a Russian translation of my stuff, but what I see here (and other threads) is a link to an ENGLISH translation of a Russian version of my original English stuff. He does have it all in one place, but that does not give him right to publish without giving credit to those who CREATED that content. Last edited by geekmaster; 05-29-2012 at 07:14 AM. |

@silver18: Was it the "forensic images" link description that made you NOT click the link to find the image you needed? |

You should be able to mount your partition image if it is not damaged. Try doing an fsck on the original image file. |

I'm in the middle of getting somewhere...
I managed to mount mmcblk0p1, I fixed the dbus.conf file, now I need to reboot but selecting "exit diagnostic" tells me that user partition isn't ready. Do I need to unmount it? How? Sorry to be so rude, I'll answer everything later! |

Well, rebooted in main mode...still under the tree....
It's time to start plan B (with addition of rebooting after zeroing out /dev/mmcblk0p3)? What does it mean to "mount your partition image if it is not damaged. Try doing an fsck on the original image file"? My noobness it endless... EDIT: I simply didn't see it...I saw it now, after looking for it. Probably I expected to see partitions images listed under kernels! Last edited by silver18; 05-29-2012 at 07:53 AM. |

For this post, using name my.img - substitute as required. losetup -f (finds the next free loop device, for this post call it loop1) losetup my.img /dev/loop1 fsck -f /dev/loop1 losetup -d /dev/loop1 Should be possible to do on your kindle. Adjust pathnames, device names, and image names to suit your circumstances. |

I see that the stripped down fsck on my touch only checks devices.
I did "fsck -nf /dev/mmcblk0p1" and it told me about the missing "/lost+found" folder. That is normal for a kindle. The startup scripts delete that folder after creating ext3 partitions. On my linux host PC, fsck also allows checking partition image files. Perhaps you have a damaged partition image file. In another thread, use ppoo recently had the same problem as you, and it appears that he solved it by downloading and flashing a fresh copy of the partition file. |

Although losetup does work, it may be simpler to just use mount and umount as described in many posts in many threads.
Adding losetup to the mix will just confuse people. To prevent running out of loop devices, be sure to add "-d" to umount (or losetup) when unmounting loop devices. |

The losetup command (if present) should turn a file into a device (it can also turn a device+offset into a device). On the "full" implementation of the "mount" command, the -o loop option calls "losetup" for the user. The stripped down version lets the user do the calling. |
