I have a lot of stuff in my Kindle and I've invested so much time in customizing it and installing required hacks on it. As my profile says it has firmware 5.1.0 on it, but now I want to revert back to a previous firmware (i.e. 5.0.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.3, or 5.0.4) and do it in a very conservative way so that minimal work will be needed afterwards to get all hacks and customs back... One of the reasons is
GestureEngine:Touch events... But keep in mind I might want to come back to the 5.1.0.
With this scenario, I think I should follow these steps:
1. backup everything in /mnt/us/
2. backup mmcblk0p1 using dd( well I backed up mmcblk0p2 and mmcblk0p3 in case something horribly bad happens) <- Can someone clarify what each of these 4 partitions are? Which folders do they backup EXACTY? Well I know for
mmcblk0p1 and
mmcblk0p2 I have list of files but not sure about mmcblk0p3 and mmcblk0p4! <--- asking this because I don't have access to a linux PC right now to do it conveniently.
3. Dump mmcblk0p1 of
5.0.x to my Kindle Touch
4. Jailbreak it, apply GUI Launcher and etc. (after installing GUI Launcher and then copying my current extensions directory all my menu items, right?
@
geekmaster: As I have your SSH enabled diags (mmcblk0p2), would doing this touch anything in there? I remember I went through a heck lots of issues to get that to work for me and I don't want to do it again!!!
And in my future Kindle
5.0.x, would simply
dd if=/mnt/us/MY_KT_5.1.0.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=1024 revert me back to absolutely the current state I am right now with everything?!
