Thank you for your elaborate reply - it's much appreciated! I finally found the time to go through the process. Although I followed all your steps precisely (see log + md5 sums attached) the situation is unfortunately still the same. It appears to me that the kindle never really recognizes the file, although it's still there when I go back to the recovery menu and export the usb storage. I tried the same procedure with
Code:
update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.9.5.1.bin
,
Code:
update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.8.7.bin
, and
Code:
update_PW3_5.7.4_initial.bin
.
It seems to always end in:
Code:
BOOTING DEFAULT.
IP-Config: no devices to˥kinit: Unable to mount root fs on device dev(179,1)
kinit: init not found!
Is there anything else I could try?
