The recovery menu has the 'simple way' to re-install the most recent u-boot, kernel, and 'main' file system image.
(We are still stuck with not having a 'diags' kernel and 'diags' file system image - but we can deal with that later.)
This should do the trick:
Edit: The start-up log of flashing uimage shows that the system has already done the I step. You can start with the export step (E).
- I - initialize partition table and format FAT
It doesn't say anything about /var/local - but we know that a 'normal' start-up will re-format that if required.
- E - export FAT partition
- Connect Kindle to PC with the normal USB cable.
- Copy the Amazon update package (just as you downloaded it) to the root (highest level directory shown) of user storage.
- Safely remove
- Disconnect USB cable to PC
- U - update (main) system from file on user storage
- Reboot
It should 'just work'.
Again, capture all that you can to a log file.
We are documenting this 'invented' recovery method for future readers.
The other OS - 'diags' - that we will deal with after the above works.
But before dealing with the missing 'diags' we will try to JB the just installed 'main' system over the serial port.
