Well after charging my kindle for two days it still wouldn't get through a flash so I figured it wasn't charging properly.
I finally borrowed an identical demo kindle off a work mate yesterday (our store ended up with two but his was stuck in a container while his house was being rebuilt after our recentish earthquake).
After spending an hour slowly removing the VHB adhesive Amazon had kindly placed between the cover and battery out (presumably to stop me getting into it
) and putting his fully charged battery in mine it ran though a full flash.
Sadly it still wasn't booting, and figuring I may have been caught out by ATK overwriting the destination address with 0's when changing the flash model setting, I tried flashing the partition table and it now boots....
Well sort of....
It gets halfway through boot and stops at about 50%.
After half a dozen tries it brings up the repair me message :/
Any ideas? I've downloaded the images again and will try reflashing it after I finish my colleagues unit.
How would I go about finding out my S/N? this unit is a demo and has never been registered.
Can I use the MAC off any old network card?
Cheers for you help guys, I've had a lot of heady reading but feel like I'm making progress!
