Sorry to sound so ignorant, I just am curious what the benefits are. Does the custom kernel make the whole firmware and OS run better/faster? Again, for us less-kernel-knowledged people. Hehe.

Also, is it possible to get an uninstall.bin for this hack? I always like the ability to easily uninstall all that I install.

Thanks in advance.
Rescue shell gives you possibility to :

- fix changes that caused so called "brick"
- boot another OS, for example Debian, Android ( only on KT with usbNetwork via NFS mounted from kernel level )
- create boot-menu for above by loading eink modules ( atm I have no idea how to achieve this ... )

I don't have original 3.3 kernel for uninstaller. I'd be very thankful if someone could extract it using geekmaster awesome getkernels tool.

@giorgio130, I've flashed two K3W without issues. If update doesn't work, you can also flash it manually using Amazon tools.

- Download uImage from here : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16679763/uImage
- Copy it to /mnt/us
- Execute :
Code:
cp /mnt/us/uImage /tmp ; /test/flashtools/luigi/update /tmp/uImage
