Rescue pack
Hi to all!!
I had the kindle frozen and I coud only reboot pressing 40 seconds the power button. So I decided to use the rescue pack and I put the enable_diags file in the device. But now I can't keep on becouse my kindle is frozen in the diag menu!! What steps must I follow to continue and insert the IP and netmask on my PC?? (I've got windows 10) Thanks |

I think the rescue pack set up the usb networking ssh server.
When you plug it into USB on your computer, it should make an 'RDNIS ethernet gadget' Go to that, and hit properties, and change the TCPIP/ IPV4 ( I cant remember exact name ) settings to IP address: 192.168.15.201 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Everyhitng else: blank Then you should be able to telnet or ssh to '192.168.15.244', using PuTTY or any other program you like. |

Once you have ssh (or not)
Once you have ssh run this command:
Code:
idme -d --bootmode main; reboot I had to unbrick my pw3 a while ago, and I used the serial method to reboot into diags. However, after fixed the problem I was stuck in diags and I couldn't exit and didn't have ssh or rescue pack so I copied geekmasters data.tar.gz https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=169645 and his sample runme to the home directory. After 2 reboots to see if the runme worked(one to install the data.tar.gz and one to run the runme), runme worked. I then removed the runme.done and replaced the contents of the runme with Code:
idme -d --bootmode main; reboot Good luck |

Commands to fix
I've got into the device. I've installed only the Rescue pack and I got in to the device using kindle_rndis.inf_amd64-v1.0.0.1.zip (I don't know if I've done well...) But I've used just the commands:
idme -d --bootmode main (enter) reboot (enter) So my kindle became unfrozen. After a short time got frozen again! I repeated the procedure and at the moment I'm unfrozen... Could you suggest me the exact commands that I must insert to fix finally the device? (If you have any other solution or something else to install, I'll listen to you) Thanks a lot |

Required action depends upon what the problem is. Offhand, it sounds like you might have some problems with the flash chip and it is attempting to correct them. If this is indeed the case then all that is needed is time and battery power. If you suspect this problem plug the kindle into a wall outlet that is NOT switched and leave it alone for a few days. Once the errors are corrected you should have a properly working kindle, until the next failure that is. Dave |

The files are here and I inspected them with my limited understanding of them. I am afraid it will take someone more familiar with them than I am to diagnose your problem. Now that the logs are available I hope someone can suggest a course of action for you.

Charging
Quote:
Few days of charging seem too much, are you sure that the battery does't melt or get spoiled and later get empty in few minutes? |

It is VERY important for the battery not to be completely discharged while the flash memory is being modified. When this occurs the flash memory module is usually damaged in an unrecoverable state and must be replaced. Replacing the memory module requires equipment not normally found outside an electronics manufactury or lab, and thus the kindle is effectively of use only for parts should the memory be damaged. Thus our recommendation to always be sure the kindle is fully charged especially for any sort of firmware upgrade. Amazon has had to replace any number of kindles that failed when they forced an OTA update on an insufficiently charged kindle. Dave Last edited by dhdurgee; 10-04-2017 at 07:58 PM. Reason: typo |
