I jail-broke my PW3 5.6.5 and install KUAL+, usbnet etc, I also installed latest busybox downloaded from busybox.net
Then I found that all books/KUAL shows "error not found" (can't remember the full message).
I entered diags mode, and found that the partition 4 may be corrupted, so I formatted it into vFAT. I also mounted partition 1 and removed the root lock (!) and left the password blank in /etc/shadow. Then I left my PW3 on the table and take a nap
Next day, when I woke up and continued. I found that the console shown these error repeatedly
Code:
[78668.128343] mmc0: Controller never released inhibit bit(s).
[78668.140806] mmcblk0: error -5 sending status command, retrying
[78668.151792] mmcblk0: error -110 sending status command, retrying
[78668.160333] mmcblk0: error -110 sending status command, aborting
[78668.166352] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 524088
Not sure if I forgot to umount partition 1 or the eMMC is corrupted. I planned to restart my PW3 into diags mode again and fsck the partition 1 but there was no output in console. When I connect the PW3 to Windows via USB, it is recognized as USB Input Device (VID:15a2 PID:0063).
Not sure if I still have chance to boot it into Fastboot. Moreover, it seems Windows has no driver for Kindle in fastboot mode, does Linux have drivers out-of-the-box?
Which generation of PW can use these images? (1 or 2 or 3 only, or for both 2 or 3)?
