The Rescue Pack and Cowards Rescue Pack is much more reliable. |
I meant to use kubrick merely as a bootable linux, so you can SSH in. I was multitasking at the time I posted (visitors), or I would have mentioned using whatever SSH tool a Mac has available (but no specific suggestions due to lack of Mac experience).
You still need to get to diags, and into SSH yourself (which I tried to make clear in my post). Of course, there is no magic key (nor is it needed) if you use RP (diags SSH) and ENABLE_DIAGS or CRP to get into diags.
So really, linux isn't needed - just whatever tools you can use on a Mac to SSH into the kindle diags, then follow those instructions I linked to (starting with diags).
You can use "kindletool" to extract contents (rootfs and kernel) from an update*.bin file from amazon. You can write those into the kindle MAIN partition while booted to diags, using the instructions at the "Simple Debricking" thread (starting at diags).
I should quit posting for awhile. Sorry if I am repeating myself.
