User input in PW's diags

bel3atar · 11-02-2015, 08:12 AM

Hello,

I am curious about how I am supposed to input stuff in my PW1's diags.
No keyboard is being displayed to me.

Thanks for helping.

Via SSH terminal on another device/PC

You boot your Kindle in diagnostics mode then find the option somewhere in those menu options to enable USBNetwork, and then you can connect to your Kindle from a PC using Telnet or SSH.

What are you trying to do?

Uhhh, good luck with that, considering that the only really good reason to do that is if you have a blacklisted Kindle.

Amazon knows which serial numbers are real, so you can't trick them.
And if they see two devices pinging their servers with the same serial number, they'll just blacklist that one too.

You don't need diags to change the serial number.
It is not part of the partitioned file system spaces.

And as others have posted, all it is going to do is break your Kindle.

This is the best of reasons to **not** change your device's serial number.

Of all possible serial numbers:

Amazon knows which ones they have used, others will not work.
Of the serial numbers used, some have been reported and blacklisted, those will not work.
Of the remaining serial numbers, they each represent (someone else's) working Kindle.
Try to use one of those and **both** devices will become blacklisted.
Amazon is very actively "watching" each and every Kindle (they are each part of their Marketing, Data Mining, operations).

Note that point 3 above could be used as a DoS (Denial of Service) attack on all working Kindles.
Something which is illegal.
Don't expect help with that from anyone here.
