kindle touch freezes at booting (at the tree)
Well I was trying to install firmware 5.1.0 update, then i think an uninstaller failed, after which KT responds really slowly but recovered after a reset (holding the power button)... then i tried to install the firmware update... now it constantly freezes on the boot image "the tree".
i can use USB Downloader Mode and flashboot flashes fine. i can get a SSHed diagnostic mode, etc. i can "dd" the backup image ("Forensic") to paritition /dev/mmcblk0p1 and even zeroed the "/var/local/" as well. still i got stuck on the boot screen. Any idea? : any advice is appreciated. |

i think i have traced the root... the MD5 of the img downloaded is not correct...now i'll download it again and see if it will work...
------------------------------------ well, it worked... so the lesson is,,, DO check the MD5 sum before flashing it.... Last edited by phoeagon; 05-16-2012 at 11:28 AM. |
