Hi CaesarW,
Thank you for documenting your kindle debricking effort. This thread has been very useful for me.
Like you, I have jailbroken my kindle PW3. The Jailbreak was successful, but I have stupidly switched on the wifi and copy pasted a huge number of ebooks from my previous document folder.
I suppose something went wrong in that process because my Kindle displayed a "Device Error" alert. This time, I did even dumber thing, which is to restart my Kindle. It got stuck in bootloop ever since.
I have followed the steps in this thread. Below is the typical flow that I encounter:
1. Hard reset the kindle by pressing power button for 40 seconds.
2. Around 47 seconds after the orange light start blinking, windows will detect the mounted Kindle (it will only be mounted for ~20 seconds)
3. Use KillCopy to transfer factory image (I use update_pw3_5.9.6.1_factory.bin which is around 290 mb) to the mounted Kindle
4. Usually the first attempt would be quite successful. The copy progress will go up to 30%.
5. After which the Kindle will restart and display "Updating software" screen.
6. It will result in error and the screen will display "Update Error: 4", sometimes "Update Error: 15" if the progress of the copy exceeds 40%.
7. I will hard reset it again to mount it and resume the copy process.
8. However, after the first copy, the subsequent process of resuming will not work so well. There will hardly be any increase in the copy progress and it will always seem to get stuck at the first percentage (e.g 30% in the first copy).
I have also tried other resumable copy software like Copy Handler but it yields the same result.
If it is not too much of a trouble, could you share
1. Your KillCopy configuration/setting
2. The image (.bin) file you used
Thank you so much in advance! I am incredibly thankful to this amazing community for sharing so freely!
P.S: If anyone else have a recommendation on other resumable copy software for Windows, feel free to share as well.
