First, get uImage file from update_kindle_8th_5.8.5.bin, and use command loady to send it to kindle. My uImage file size is 4778496, blk len is 512, so 4778496/512=9333=0x2475
Second, execute command mmc write 0x80800000 0x208 0x2475
Now, press your kindle power button until kindle reboot, then you can entry recovery system, select e to export fat partition, and copy update_kindle_8th_5.8.5.bin into it, enter 1, and select u, wait for some time, your kindle 8th will back ^_^
thanks for your help  |
this is great info, congratulations on the success!
I know what the '0x80800000 '( loady storage address ) and '0x2475' ( size of uImage ), but what is the '0x208' address, where did you get it. I am guessign it is the memory address in the MMC of where the uImage should go, but fore anyone who reads this thread in the future, it is good to know where you got that.
I also have a question for you. on my Paperwhite, the normal uboot does not have the 'loady' command. did you manage to install a custom uboot, or was that already available when you connected the serial port?
