Yea, I'm a idiot I got it to work.

now the next issue lol...

I got diag to boot and i did all the instructions and I'm about to SSH into the kindle

however I can't get the driver to load. I'm on windows 7 64bit. when I try and download a file directly from microsoft it says that my processor is invalid! Ugh..i guess i have to use VMWARE and load up windows xp

There is a success report for 64-bit win7 in the simple debricking first post. Look for "64-bit win 7" or something similar (it is a recent one near the bottom). Either get details from that post and the ones before it. Part of the key is rebooting and telling win7 to allow unsigned drivers.

Personally, I run XP in a virtualbox VM and it works fine.

I got the drivers installed in virtual PC but it keeps refusing my connection in putty.

I dunno whats up now, maybe I didn't flash the correct file with ssh? I'm pretty sure thats where I went wrong.

I'll give it another go tomorrow.

Have you changed your pc ip to? I'm on win7x64 and it worked fine with this guide https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=180789

Stea1th · 07-30-2012, 06:54 AM

Yes, thats what I've been using.

What do you mean change PC ip?

All I did was change the IP of the Driver when you install it.

A driver doesn't have an IP, your PC has (when the driver is in use). Make sure that you set your PCs IP for that device to 192.168.15.201. This can be done using the network connections setting in the system panel, or by using ipconfig. I don't have Windows around right now, so I can't give you more detailed explanations. But wait, please post the output of

ipconfig /all

When using Putty it gives me the msg "network error, connection refused"

I can also ping the kindle if that helps.

OK, looks correct so far.

Are you sure that you flashed the right diags image (the one with SSH), and that you performed the required commands in diags (N-U-Z-X ?) I've done it about a hundred times (no kidding), and it has always worked for me.

Now run nmap on that sub-net - - see if port 22 is open on the kindle.

If you don't have, I am pretty sure the nmap site will have a binary for you.

I'm pretty sure I did, I mean I have the option for USBnet so I'd assume I did.

Let me try nmap and see what it says.

The option for usbnet is always there. If you installed the wrong mmcblk0p2 it would be pingable but would refuse an SSH connection because of missing dropbear files.

You need to flash an mmcblk0p2_ssh.img file...
