I've read somewhere that the "device" on Amazon is tied to the MAC as well, but then again, Amazon shouldn't be able to directly determine the configured MAC address via network (that's a different story of course if the *payload* that is sent to Amazon contains the MAC somewhere).
I will try to get the serial from somewhere, but I'm afraid the device was never registered on the amazon account.

So.. suppose I find the serial and mac, does anybody knwo if I can modify some of the img files it created and flash the modified img this way, without compiling a custom uboot for it ?


Edit: I found the serial meanwhile. The question that remains is how to flash the serial into it ?
