I'm not so sure anymore if I really want to go through all of this trouble, to get some more control over my device.
I know what telnet, SSH etc are, know the Linux commands you mentioned, but I'm not really practically experienced with all that stuff.

Well if I'm gonna do this - I'm just installing usbnet (simply extract to the root folder and update the device).
What then exactly?
Take a backup the way it's described in the wiki? (using netcat and dd).
Or first install MKK + KUAL to use the "buttons" you mentioned?
Or something completely different?

I don't have the overview of this whole thing at the moment.


PS: Can I turn off OTA-Updates, as I read that they can mess things up, too? I'd rather not "change the running system", when there is no reason to and deal with all that stuff again, after everything is properly working
Yes.

*) MKK
*) KUAL
*) Backdoor Lock (a KUAL button set) - gives control over OTA updates
*) USBnetworking - at least check that you can connect (I.E: have the network addresses setup properly)

- - - -

An interesting thought -
I don't think we ever checked if your device received an OTA update during all the trouble with the indexer.

If it did -
that may explain part of the "indexer problem"
and it may explain the changes in other behavior.

You can find your current firmware version in the settings menu.
