need help in restoring kindle3
Sorry for my bad English.
My name is Vladimir. I am from Russia. Can anyone help me restore my Kindle 3 wifi. The study of the device led to its failure, deleted partition mmcblk0. Now I was able to export mmc0 in recovery mode. But I need a copy of the file system, of course without any directories with the personal files: /mnt/us, /mnt-base and /opt/amazon/ebook/config/reginfo. howto example: dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/us/rootfsbackup.bin bs=1024 mailto: yandoogle@gmail.com. Thank you very much for your attention! |

I tried to get to the rootfs, but I can't see the Kindle on the PC when I'm in the Recovery menu. When entering "Export to USB" (press u in the developer menu), I just can see the ordinary folders, no real file system. I think that just fat32 partition is mounted. How can I mount all partitions in Linux? Do i have to initialize the partitions first?

@scenox
To export the entire mmс0 you need to connect the device via RS232, and then when you start select the menu item 3 "export mmc0". But for this will require a password, which is always "fionaXXXX", where XXXX is computed by the device serial number. I can calculate this password for the device serial number using a debugger. To get the device ssh console via wifi use this links: http://jyavariousideas.blogspot.com/...hering_27.html https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88004 http://www.the-ebook.org/forum/posti...quote&p=470697 Using usbnetwork and this link you can help me repair kindle https://www.mobileread.com/forums/new...eply&p=1098785 Last edited by yandoogle; 12-28-2010 at 03:33 AM. |

I don't have an RS232 cable, but I will try it via usbnetwork. Never done such thing before, but maybe I will manage it.

I did a backup as soon as I got my k3 using
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/place/to/backup/k3.orig.img but I am afraid the img file is too large in size to deliver. |

Thank you! fs copy size should be somewhere 230 MB. You can send it on ftp.filekeeper.org. login I posted in personal mail. If you have any questions, please! |

In fact the raw data size backuped is somewhat 4 Giga bytes, I am afraid it is not possible to deliver it via ftp.

in linux you can mount backup raw file to any directory and remove directories with the personal files /mnt/us, /mnt-base. example: Quote:
