... do you read thread titles, or responses to your questions?
1. This thread is clearly for K4 and K5, not for K3. 2. geekmaster replied in your other thread. "No soldering to a K3 circuit board, and no need to remove the back cover. It has an external serial port connector in the lower slot on the left edge." |

For debricking, the only current solution is the external serial port as shown in the video. Later, somebody may provide a "USB Downloader" debricking method, but that is not being worked on at this time, as far as I know. |

Code:
lipc-probe -v -a|grep -v "^\sw\s" A few parameters are listed as "readable" or "read/writable" but lipc-probe still throws an error "WARNING: Failed to get value" - not sure why. Greetings, Dweia |

Help, pls - Kindle Brick - not booting Diag??
Hi,
after upgrading my Kindle Touch to 5.1.0 I had my screensavers disappearing. Doing several factory resets & trying to understand why I got stuck during reboot. I'm not aware of doing real bad stuff like replacing / changing files I shouldn't have, so unfortunatly there is little help in explanation. I understood that Diag mode can be triggert in almost every situation, so I'm stunned that i got it messed up that bad w/o much effort :-( Is such situation known / any hints? - Kindle stays on initial 'Person below tree' screen - Reset (20 sec power) shows a short refresh, afterwards tree again - Orange light when attached to PC. - Shows disk w/o partition on Windows (Loading battery) - Battery shouldn't be heaviliy discharged. For recovery I tried: 1) Download KindleSelectBoot from first post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=169645 2) Started diag (see 16sec video), HID recognized, diag uploaded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MstP1fMrrD4 3) Kindle stuck with tree again, H:\ appears but is inaccessible in Windows.. :-( Recommendations highly welcome. No important content on Kindle, so flashing 'good root' is a good option, but requires Diag mode. How to get there? THANKS! ItsMee |

Actually, it DOES sound like a low battery. In this condition the battery charging does not work right. I suggest booting to fastboot mode with MfgTool and leaving it connected to charge for several hours before trying again.

Tried charging over night, as that didn't make a difference I replaced the battery with a fully charged one.
Independed on the mode selected (fastboot, diag, main) the device is stuck on the intial tree picture without any further progress. USB drive doesn't become visible.. :-( |

When reseting or after submitting via MfgTool there is a screen refresh happening (screen going black, building up tree again), but afterwards nothing more happens on the display.

>Did you try flashing the diags_ssh partition from fastboot?
Do you have an advice how to do that? When selecting fastboot I also get stuck at the tree symbole - not sure how I'd flash from there? Really appreciated. ItsMee |

Hi,
thanks - I'm getting a bit of hope again - thought I lost my kindle. However, I'm still not ready to go - hope you can give me 1-2 hints. The thread ( https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=170929 ) looks good, but it recommends to use linux (np). a) I found SelectBoot described for Windows only - how to enable in linux? https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=169645 b) I'd compile fastboot from here to get an executable? https://github.com/yifanlu/Fastboot-Kindle c) Seems http://gitbrew.org/~dasmoover/kindle...0p2_ssh.img.gz is no longer available, I'd need that, I guess? Sorry - to many questions - feel a bit dump... ItsMee |

I see that the files were renamed to prevent confusion with other firmware version. You can the renamed diags ssh image here:
http://gitbrew.org/~dasmoover/kindle/touch/forensic/ You do not need to compile fastboot. You can download binaries ready to go at the "simple debricking" sticky. There is win32 fastboot so you can stay in windows using MfgTool then fastboot for windows. Some posts were made before the win32 fastboot was provided, but the first post is mostly current and correct. EDIT: You would not have had this problem if you downloaded the image from the forensic images link in the "simple debricking" sticky. That "mmcblk0p2_ssh.img.gz" has been downloaded hundreds of times and is still available at the link provided there. Last edited by geekmaster; 05-11-2012 at 05:20 PM. |
