On the kindle 3, USB Downloader mode is entered if "Volume -" is pressed when the power switched is released after a long (20 seconds) hold. It uses a different USB VID/PID (0x15a2/0x0030) than the iMX50-based kindles (K4nt and Touch). Instead of freescale "MfgTool", it uses freescale "AdvancedToolkit" to download and run code in the kindle 3.
