Kubrick: Live CD to debrick Kindle 3, 4, and Touch - Page 63

Very quick flash means it failed. It always reports success even when it fails. Make sure the battery is fully charged (charge 10 minutes, then do hard reset -- hold power button 30 seconds) then charge until green LED. Then try kubrick again.

Ack thanks. Will report back.

<<Update, 4/25>>
Charged overnight, cannot get green light to come on. 30 second power button hold gives amber light, which stays on for a time (hours) whilest charging but at some point it turns off completely. I've done this twice so far.

The light is controlled by the firmware . . . .
Is your firmware working properly? (no)
Then should you trust the light? (no)

My daddy taught me to trust no one. So I don't trust the light. But net/net, I still can't get the damned thing unbricked.....

...No love so far.

Tried ATK as well, gets hung up on no usb detected. Kindle shows up as SE Blank RINGO (with no valid drivers) in Windows.

Any suggestions appreciated, I'm at a loss.

@KNC1, I don't think that applies to me, as the system I'm using is not 64 bit.

As Kubruck appears to be the defacto best solution, I tried it on several different boxes (eldest still running XP) with same results; quick flash of root filesystem.

So I went on, and tried ATK on an older laptop (Dell D830 running Win10/32bit), and it seems to be working; kernel flashed & maybe 25% of the way through root filesystem. Hopefully I'll be able to post a success report later today.

Tnx all for help w/ this.

It does not matter what operating system is on the box, Kubrick runs ram resident without reference to the installed software.

It does have to use the hardware -
And one thing that can give problems is if you have USB-3 ports.
They are often not as compatible as claimed.

any chances to include also paperwhite?

The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any known way to get a Paperwhite into USB Downloader mode, which kind of makes Kubrick pointless.

this bad

But if one can access to a root console to a PW, it is possible to replicate Kubrick actions via script/dd?

eschwartz · 05-05-2016, 03:49 PM

Sure. How do you get a root console though?

encol · 05-05-2016, 04:05 PM

i mean if i can ssh in the diags mode if the rescue pack was installed

eschwartz · 05-05-2016, 04:16 PM

Err, okay, what do you want/need Kubrick for, anyway?

encol · 05-05-2016, 04:28 PM

i was wondering if it is possible to "replicate" the actions Kubrick does in case a paperwhite is still accessible in diags mode, in order to restore it to the factory state if the backups of the partitions was unavailable
