Kindle 4 doesn't exit Tequila-Diagnostics

[proximus]

I re-did it as you suggested (i.e., wrote the file in XEmacs) but nothing happened. I did it twice. It might be of interest that after the first time, after having entered the USB device mode as usual and entered "diagnostic_logs", the "device_info.xml" file that I had copied there before, isn't there anymore after the first rebooting. I then rebooted it a second time, but this time choosing the "disable diagnostics" option, which apparently is the same as the "reboot" option.

Try this:
Put the file on the device ;
Do a "safely remove" for that device on Win ;
Remove the USB connection ;
**Then** try re-booting the Kindle.

(The Kindle can't read the user store while it is mounted on your pc.)

Didn't work. (I really appreciate the help, thank you ).

@proximus: What happens if (with the folder & xml there), you follow the last few steps of the K4 jailbreak (step 5-6)?

@geekmaster: had the same problems yesterday several times - your solution didn't work for my K4NTB - so I tried my described solution - it worked...

[proximus]

@NiLuJe & @Kalja: nothing changes, tried a few times your methods.

One of the forum moderators was kind enough to fix the prefix tag and topic of this thread to match.

Does the K4B have a different missing file needed to exit diags than the K4S?

[knc1]

Since this (new?) machine is stuck in "Diags" perhaps this would be a good time to get an ATK dump of the main file system?

@proximus: Just to be perfectly clear, what you you mean, exactly, by "nothing's changed"? What actually happens when you try to disable/exit diags through the menus?

@GM: We have multiple reports of success of the JB on K4B, so, no, I don't think so .

@proximus: Huh. What do you see over USB after using the 'export over usb' thingy?

On a sidenote, that's a K4S, can you check if SSH is working? That might help tremendously if it is .

The video shows that "disable diags" reboots as expected, but still stuck in diags as though ENABLE_DIAGS did not get deleted. That is a new and unexpected behavior.

Try deleting it manually from an exported USB drive.

Also try using MfgTool to see if you can boot to main that way.

My K3 does not delete the "ENABLE_DIAGS" file either although the diags scripting seems to be written to delete it;
The delete does not happen.
(Most of the "diags" on my K3 is shell scripting, not compiled code.)

The thread title indicates that this is a K4, which uses a separate boot partition for diags. K3 and K4 diags are quite different. If your ENABLE_DIAGS does not get deleted, then how do you exit diags?
