Kindle Touch:How to reset to factory default?

[kn007]

Hi guys, I'm just a new member here.

I just bought Kindle Touch for 20 days, but today i use the (usbnetwork)ssh change the /etc/upstart/framework

-DENABLE_SEARCH_INDEXING_THREAD=true \

to

-DENABLE_SEARCH_INDEXING_THREAD=false \

then
it's already dead and the screen shows a man under a tree.Few seconds late ,it will auto restart cycle.

I tried to restart by holding power button 20 seconds many times ,still stuck with a man under a tree page.

I plugged in USB cable with my notebook .When it auto reboot, i can see it as a USB Drive when connected to the PC 20-30 seconds

I can use the diag or fastboot mode ,but i don't know how to reset the KT to factory setting.

oh, when i use the diags mode to enable the usbnetwork ,but the ssh result me that connection refused.
ps, i try the (jailbreak)data.tar.gz ,but it doesn't work.
also,i use the "data.tar.gz" and "JB_RUNME.sh"

#!/bin/sh
mount -o rw,remount /
cp -f /mnt/us/framework /etc/upstart/
cp -f /etc/upstart/framework /mnt/us/a/
chmod 644 /etc/upstart/framework
shutdown -r now

but It does not work too.

and i use the fastboot mode ,use

fastboot setvar bootmode reset
fastboot reboot

when it reboot ,then shutdown the KT

so,i use

fastboot setvar bootmode factory
fastboot reboot

but it into the diags mode.

Now i setting back to

fastboot setvar bootmode main
fastboot reboot

it still Automatic reboot on the screen shows a man under a tree(first SPLASH IMAGE)

I am use Windows XP SP3
What can i do? thank you!

What can i do?

i don't know how to use the mmcblk0p1.img if it need use

Actually, you CANNOT flash a main kernel image with fastboot. Although fastboot falsely reports success, it actually only flashes a small PART of the kernel image. You can see this if you watch the serial port messages while you try that command. The main kernel image is too large for fastboot.

You MUST use the dd command after booting from diags, to successfully write a main partition image. If you write main while booted from main, it often does not work correctly because the main partition sometimes writes to its filesystem. Writing to a filesystem and to its raw partition at the same time will damage it to some extent (perhaps too much to repair).

You need to reset the boot counter stored in the /var/local partition, or erase the /var/local partition that contains it (mmcblk0p3). You can reset the boot counter with this command at an SSH prompt:

echo 0 > /var/local/upstart/lab126_gui.restarts

There are RUNME.sh scripts posted that can do that for you. You can also erase the boot counter file instead of resetting it to zero.

thank you.

but i use the mmcblk0p2_ssh.img ，it didn't mount /dev/mmcblk0p1,when i use

mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmc

but the /mnt/mmc/mnt/us just have one tree 'document'

i don't known how to going down

If i use back the mmcblk0p2.img ,but i cannot into the ssh ,connection refuse.
so, i didn't use the

dd if=/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K

now i can see the screen shows "Repair Needed ! Your Kindle Needs Repair...." , no auto reboot now

what can i do?
thanks again

Nothing is mounted in /mnt/mmc/mnt/us. You need to look in /mnt/us instead for the USB drive contents.

By "going down", if you mean using a linux shell command to move to the parent directory, you should do "cd .." for that.

i use the "data.tar.gz" and "JB_RUNME.sh"

"JB_RUNME.sh" :

echo 0 > /var/local/upstart/lab126_gui.restarts

i can see the jailbreak logo ，when it reboot，i still see the screen shows "Repair Needed ! Your Kindle Needs Repair...."

maybe i do it wrong way?

now i stll use the mmcblk0p2_ssh.img, not the mmcblk0p2.img

maybe i cany use "JB_RUNME.sh"：

echo 0 > /var/local/upstart/lab126_gui.restarts
dd if=/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K

?

The RUNME.sh files are the OLD way of doing things (from the older "Select Boot" thread). Just use diags SSH. It is much simpler and more reliable. That is WHY you flashed the mmcblk0p2_ssh.img file in the first place.

The whole point of the newer "Simple Debricking" thread is to flash diags with SSH installed, then use diags SSH (diags menu options N U Z X) to repair your kindle. You can download the images from that thread, but you should also follow the instructions provided there.

By mixing repair methods like you have been doing, you are just making things more complicated than they need to be. Just use diags SSH. Just use diags SSH. Okay?

i use the mmcblk0p2_ssh.img on the diags(MfgTool) can ssh,but the /mnt/us is empty
but use back mmcblk0p2.img on the diags(MfgTool) ,ssh connection refuse, how to fix it?
can you just tell me what to do now,my english not good

Can i use "JB_RUNME.sh"：

echo 0 > /var/local/upstart/lab126_gui.restarts
dd if=/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K

???

To start SSH, you need to do diags menu options N U Z X. The X is important. The SSH server takes about 20 seconds AFTER you exit from the USBnet menu before you can SSH in. You need to set your host PC usb network IP address to 192.168.15.201. You need to ssh to root@192.168.15.244. The login is root, password mario.

The "connection refused" means that you did not start SSH or you did not wait long enough for it to start, or you are trying to SSH from or to the wrong IP address.

Right,but the

http://gitbrew.org/~dasmoover/kindle/touch/forensic/

had two mmcblk0p2.img
the mmcblk0p2.img ,ssh tip that connection refused
but the mmcblk0p2_ssh.img.gz can root@192.168.15.244
i am sure the network IP address is 192.168.15.201

that "ssh" i mean is in diags mode and select menu items N) U) Z) X). then pc request

but this maybe not important, now i still see the screen shows "Repair Needed ! Your Kindle Needs Repair...."Can i use "JB_RUNME.sh"：

echo 0 > /var/local/upstart/lab126_gui.restarts
dd if=/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K

to fix it???


now i try the ssh again,this time the /mnt/us/ is mount
now i use

dd if=/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K

to setup

thanks aditya3098 and geekmaster,KT is work again
thank you so much

Without your help, I really do not know what to do
