You probably need to create a mount point if you're stuck mounting the filesystem image:
Code:
mkdir /tmp/system
sudo mount -o loop -t ext4 esystem.bin /tmp/system
It's always interesting to see what the Kindle hackers over in China are capable of. Creating an entire replacement operating system takes a lot of skill and they're way ahead of us in that regard - we could learn a lot from them.
I've got a spare KT2 that should be compatible with this project so I'll give those instructions a go. The android version is ancient and I wouldn't be surprised if the filesystem is riddled with malware but I'm very curious about how it all works. |
All you have to do is force reboot the device and run fastdownload.exe as admin. The trouble is I cannot mount esystem.bin to do patches. it always gives me an error, and I tried it on mutiple devices that run Ubuntu.
