https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=170929 and the fastboot program for linux from here
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...6&d=1331834773. But I can't get Kual to start yet and I'm afraid to sync it until I get backdoor lock installed. Any suggestions would be appreciated & thanks for the help guys.
