When you say "reset", do you mean typing in R E S E T to reset to factory defaults or do you mean you do a cold reset, hold Home, do another reset, and hold Home again?

Yeah, the 'type reset' screen, my bad (in fact, you hold [home] *after* having typed reset, on the reset to factory defaults progress bar screen [which is actually the usual boy on tree + progress bar screen, like a classic boot]).
At least I haven't found a way to access the recovery menu directly, without having to actually *do* the factory reset . (Granted, I didn't try really hard though. ) Last edited by NiLuJe; 10-21-2010 at 12:54 AM. |

And there's no way to bring a Kindle 3 into recovery mode without doing a factory reset? Sigh...

I tried this on a FW 2.5 K2i, but apparently it still works the same way on FW 3.x.
So, yeah, unless there's a new trick to be discovered somewhere, I haven't found a way to bypass the reset to factory defaults . (Unless you have a serial console connected, in which case you probably could access the recovery util via the bootloader). |

Then do you know if there's a way to uninstall a hack that's preventing my Kindle from entering USB mode without doing a factory reset?

Besides actually *using* usbnetwork, and a serial console, no.

When I plug my Kindle into my computer, my computer beeps and says "Found new hardware: RDNIS/ethernet gadget" ore something. It then prompts me to install the software for the device but can't find any. It then says the installation failed. Is there a way to get my computer to recognize this "ethernet gadget"? And if I do get that to work, what is the UI like? Is it a command prompt window or a normal USB device window or what?

Check the usbnet thread in the dev subforum, I don't use Windows.

Attached is the driver I use with the network hack under Windows. Don't know if that might help you.

The only thing I use it for, is to telnet into my Kindle 2 (US only wireless) to set the time (I'm outside the US and cannot have my clock set over whispernet). I don't have experience with anything else.
Do a search for usb networking and also read the whole thread about the 2.5 hacks. Also read this Thread:https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49350 , especially this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...068#post617068 Some of the information in that thread is probably outdated and not true for the newest Kindle, so be careful. I do think somebody with some more knowledge should write a wiki with all the information in one spot. I'll email the file to you (why don't you download it from here???), but you better delete your address from your post. Last edited by ichbindasauge; 10-21-2010 at 04:15 AM. |
