I'm not sure I have to do this though.
Can I connect to the uboot command line to have access to the `idme` command with the device in this state? |
The u-boot is talking over the serial port, same as the SoC before it and the kernel after it.
So yes, but it my only be available in the full u-boot build.
What you see at first is a mini-uboot, you have to load the full one manually (called: bist).
The 'idme' command is also available over a fastboot connection, but you have to use the kindle's serial port to start fastboot.
Both ways of accessing the idme command require only u-boot to be working, the rest of the eMMC can even be erased.
Read the thread about recovering a Kindle with fastboot, that one was an 'erase all' victim.
