Reboot your kindle into the diagnostic mode (step 4), and use the USB Bundle Install option to copy the old firmware from your PC to your kindle root directory. The kindle will reboot back into diagnostic mode, and you need to disable diagnostic (using D-D-Q sequence) to return to normal kindle operations. If you encounter the error message “Device_info.xml not found”, click on the Device Setting option within the diagnostic window before redoing the D-D-Q sequence. A collection of various firmwares can be found in http://kindlefere.com/update if required. Good luck, and hope this helps. |
Sorry, but that is dead wrong.
Doing it that way will leave you with a mis-match between the main kernel and the main filesystem.
(The kernel's modules are stored on the filesystem, and now the kernel and modules do not match.)
The links at kindlefere.com/update are just re-directs to the Amazon distribution server.
So get your desired package directly from Amazon.
No sense in getting a foreign web-site involved.
How to get a specific, non-current, firmware version from their download server is a FGA.
Follow the directions given by shamanNS in post #4 above.
Step-by-Step?
Same-Same as de-bricking the device (except that you use the Amazon images) -
read the legacy (before Kubrick) de-bricking guides.
