Can you confirm your software version, and have you prevented it from ever doing a wifi update?
If you have not, this definitely will not work.

I want to get your thoughts on this.
Right now, the manga model and the US PW3 appear to have the same download: https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredow...ite_5.8.10.bin
I'm not ready to recommend anyone try this, because I have a differnt idea, but I am thinking about re-packaging this update into a FB02 package ( like the factory firmware ) , that has these three componenets.
uboot from 5.8.10 update
uImage from 5.8.10 update
rootfs from vulnerable PW3 5.7.4 update.
my understanding of the rootfs is that it should be separate from the uboot and the kernel ( uimage ), in enough ways that it should not brick the device., and the rootfs shoudl not have any hardware specific stuff that might break a pw3-32GB. I think the only significant differce between them are the board ID that are in uboot, and the amount of memory in uboot and the kernel, but I dont think any of the linux userland stuff is affected by that.
At least when I do a diff on the extracted rootfs from 5.8.1 and 5.8.10, I don't see any references to hardware.
What is your first impression on this based on gut feeling about how people have bricked before? |
I just tried something similar with Kindle Tool 1.6.4 MinGW on Windows, downloaded from NiLuJe's thread and my KT2 doesn't seem to like it. Maybe it's because of the signing. I'm just going to look it up online.
I'm not sure should the bundle be FB02? I think it may be FB03 - that's what I try. The 5.8.10 Update package is FB03 and that's obviously what the Kindle likes. Would it work with FB02?
Also, the factory firmware contains user data image. I don't know should we put it in the update? I mean, the Kindle should already come with this out-of-the-box.
