For serial connection, I used these:

and

For some reason the FTDI chip did not work over a long usb cable, but did work when directly plugged into the PC. All the drivers worked automatically (win 8).
Putty connected as described.
bootm 0xE41000 booted into diagnostics
however, there were different menus. what worked to go into login menu was typing "exit login"
login root and password generated by python and serial number were good.
This part worked, but I needed to change mmcblk0p1 to mmcblk0p2, and I think I typed mntroot rw before. Not sure.
Code:
mkdir /tmp/main
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /tmp/main
vi /tmp/main/etc/passwd
I've copied the jailbreak and ran jb.sh. It said '*** jailbreak *** ' on the screen.
Now, I'm having problems running KUAL. Please, help. I've tried copying the azw2 file to documents. Not shown in my library. I've tried with ;log mrpi, I think correctly, but nothing happens. |
If you changed mmcblk0p1 to mmcblk0p2 then you where modifying the "diag" system, not the "main" system.
Modifying the "main" system is the entire point of all proceeding steps.
If you have any problems, try following the directions next time.
PS: You must use the KUAL booklet, not the KUAL document, when running any 5.9.* firmware version.
Try reading those directions (the ones packed with KUAL) also.
You will have a lot less trouble if you read and follow the directions rather than make things up as you go along.
