It is not Error Code 2, but Repair Code 2

thanks for that image, 2929620018 I can track down to 5.7.4. for devices KOA ( 8th gen ) , PW3 ( 7th), KV(7th), Kindle basic(7th gen ), PW2 (6th gen ).


So we definitely have data points that using 5.7.4 can put these kindles into this state. and I will stop ever recomendeing 5.7.4.



Has anyone have any data points using the 5.8.9.0.1 I mirrored in the "5.8.9.0.1 software jailbreak" thread:

We knew that 5.7.4 would brick the Manga Model PW, so getting this 5.8.9.0.1 was a lifesaver for them, and I know it worked on my manga model. But that one shipped with a lower version to start with.

This happened because the boot loader has a list of supported model numbers, and the manga model wasn't in it, that could be happening with newer hardware too, if they are changing anything on the motherboard or something else.

This may mean that the factory images will install, but if the image is older than the hardware, it will cause errors. And we would need to wait until someone can figure out how to get a version of the factory image for that newer hardware.
