Did you try option 3 again. Maybe it only loads MMC0 from USB storage if mmcblk0p1 is erased.

The entire mmc0 image should contain a partition table. I would think that a partition table was created when you rebuilt /mnt/us.

Loading mmc0 from /mnt/us seems not accurately named. How can you reload an image of a block device from a paritition on that device?

So, not sure if that the image that uboot writes using '3' needs a partition table at the front or not. Obviously only a partial image (containing main and diags) if it needs a partition table. Is it a raw image like you would get with dd?

What was in the image that you tried to restore with uboot?

Perhaps you need an image that was exported from uboot, in order to import an image. It might have some header metadata that it is looking for (i.e. not a raw dd image). Perhaps somebody can give you a copy of an export from uboot on a kindle3. I have a kindle3.

The real question is, will the '3' key work IF there is a properly formatted (and named) image file on the USB Drive?
