First. Thanks a lot for taking the time for me. As a newbie with Kindle hacking, though I messed with nearly every other device I own, it's sometimes quite confusing.

I will try to explain more clearly. When I changed my kindle screen, I was stuck with incorrect battery error - 22.

I read I was to flash a "new" firmware with fastboot, so I did. It worked, but I had a kernel error, because I flashed the wrong version (pw1 when I have a Pw2)

So I tried a second time, with the right firmware, but while it was writing the firmware, the kindle rebooted on its own. After that, when I tried to get Uboot, I had the console with uboot>, but when I write a command (like bist), the console outputs some errors, the most significant being mmcblk0 error, unable to read.

That's why I try to restart from the beginning, even if I don't get how it happened.

I will give Kubrick a try, I read about it, but though it was only applicable to Kindle up to 5th generation.

I'm a long time Linux user, so I do own a 32bits Linux.

I'll let you know how it went.
