Good day. I need help restoring PW 2. The e-reader's memory has become "permanent." When I connect it to a computer, the drive appears completely "clogged" with e-reader files, plus cvm_28047_038-juno_120202_pinot_wario-379151.core and Indexer_Dump_1765959394197.txt . All of these files can be deleted, even completely formatted, but after disconnecting the e-reader from the computer, all the files return.

The e-reader is still "semi-functional," meaning I can open downloaded books, but it often crashes to the main screen (I'm reading in Koreader). Resetting the drive doesn't work, and the firmware update doesn't work.

So I'm trying to restore it. I want to try to restore PW2 with Kubrick's help - https://web.archive.org/web/20180406...=30351#1233943

But the needed files here http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images/PW2/ (main_kernel.img and mmcblk0p1.bin.gz) are offline.

Does anybody have a backup copy?

Thank you so much!
