Kindle Touch can not flash, seems readonly

[scottzhao]

Today I modified my laptop and install CentOS 6.5.
I installed minicom to hook KT's serial port. It worked properly.

But, evrything same as in Windows XP, I still can not stop the booting steps after uboot.

I found one strange line just below Recovery Menu.

"INFO:Couldn't find localized image at /mnt/wfm/images/splash.raw.gz"

After this line popped up, I could not select any items , 3,4,I,E,....nothing responsed. Booting just continued as default setting.

Is this "/mnt/wfm/images/splash.raw.gz" the kernal to run in RAM?

Thanks

[scottzhao]

Any one can help??

Menu timeout

Don't let the initramfs menu timeout, pick something harmless, such as: "D"

- - - - -

And please fix the "Device" field in your info. block - this is a K5 !!!

If you press the "Report Post" button on the first post of this thread and ask nicely, a moderator can correct the thread title for you.

Thanks for your suggestion.

" fix the "Device" field in your info. block - this is a K5 !!!"=======how to modify Device info? I can not find where to correct this error.

I tried again with "D" key, still no use, booting continued and I can not stop it.
