EBS, can you use the serial console to peek into recover mode update install scripts? A while back hand-made updates would fail to install and no one could figure out why. With international Kindle updates fail in similar fashion even when not in the recovery mode.
It looks like Amazon has some additional check that was done only for recovery mode and in software 2.2 it is done for any kind of update. Figuring out what it is would enable screensaver, savory, unicode font and all other sorts of hacks to work on the K2i. Last edited by Blog Kindle; 10-23-2009 at 11:38 PM. |

Dear mans,
I have the same situation as dr_g100k, but I broke it by installing unicode font hack and delete all the font folder in the device, and it restart and can not reboot. I still can access to recovery mode but I do not know how to restore it. Can any one help me? Thank you very much. |

I think he means a USB2RS232 adapter + a MAX232 chip...

You can fix it from serial console 1. Stop boot 2. Code:
uboot> setenv bootargs $(bootargs_base) root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw init=/bin/sh uboot> bootm 0xa0060000 |

At the other side you need a RS232 port. If your computer only have USB, then you need an USB-to-RS232 with TTL levels or a USB-to-RS232 and then attach a RS232 (TRUE)-to-TTL RS232, that can be done with a MAX232 or variant. I do not know if exists USB-to-RS232TTL converters, at work we use some internal boards made by our electronic engineer using FTDI chips and we can select configuration via jumpers and soldering jumpers... |
