You can look at the details in properties for your uninstalled device. It should be x01949/0xd0d0 for fastboot mode.

The nice thing about being in fastboot mode is it does a good job recharging the battery. Leave it connected in fastboot mode to recharge it for several hours (overnight is better).

fastboot makes a good battery charger. ;-)

With a kindle fastboot tool, you can do "./fastboot getvar serial" to see your serial number. You might need to do "sudo ./fastboot getvar serial" depending on your permissions settings.

You cannot flash mmcblk0p1 from fastboot -- the image file is too big. You can flash mmcblk0p2 (diags) from fastboot, then boot to it, then copy your restore mmcblk0p1 from an image file on the usb drive using the "dd" command. Details are provide in other posts in this thread and in the "Select Boot..." thread.

I will make this process simpler in the future.
But it's still <waiting for device> in Windows and Ubuntu.
I didn't understand what is "x01949/0xd0d0" and where should I see it.
