I'd like to share some experience about this topic.
Chroot to a 3.2.1 system on my DXG with 2.5.8 firmware.
- Using yifanlu's bin creator to create the bin and use kindle firmware update tool to extract rootfs.img. (I used the piratebay bittorrent version for experiment.)
- copy rootfs.img to /mnt/us
- mkdir -p /mnt/k3 && mount -o loop /mnt/us/rootfs.img /mnt/k3
- /etc/init.d/framework stop
- pmon stop all # wait a while for
- /etc/init.d/pmond stop
/etc/init.d/lipc-daemon stop
/etc/init.d/dbus stop
- for x in /var /dev /proc /mnt/rwfs /mnt/us /mnt/base-us /dev/pts /dev/shm /sys /var/local
do
mount -o $x /mnt/k3/$x
done
- chroot /mnt/k3
- ldconfig
- ln -sf /etc/kdb /etc/kdb.src/mario
- start daemons in /etc/rc5.d one by one
(I skip guidinit, jailbreak and wifi stuffs)
- I modfied /opt/amazon/ebook/bin/start.sh to ensure it will never reboot the kindle.
It takes awhile to start up the GUI framework. TTS does not work. Browser, shop, pdf reader seem working but not very smoothly. Probably because the rootfs.img from piratebay is created by earlier version of k3 updater and I didn't apply many of yifanlu's patches.
