Recovery mode for kindle 3? And starting user applications on boot
I am not in trouble, yet, just planning ahead. Is there a recovery mode for kindle 3?
I've jailbroken mine, installed the recent terminal application along with the excellent launchpad application, etc. I would like for usbNetwork and launchpad to start when the kindle boots up. I assume this means a script in /etc/rc*.d/ Well, if I'm going to mess around with /etc, I'd better take a backup. I am planning to just take an image of the entire disk. But if I brick it, is there a way I can mount the kindle disk without running the code on it? Or some other way I could put the backup image back on the disk? Also, it's pretty clear what the startup script should be for launchpad. Something like "/mnt/us/terminal/myts.arm &" should work. But what is the CL invocation corresponding to ;debugOn and ~usbNetwork? |

usbNetwork starts automatically, if in the directory "usbnet" the file "DISABLED_auto" rename to "auto", and restart.

There's no such provisions for lrizzo's terminal application, but please be aware that it currently cannot coexist with launchpad (by design). So, first say Code:
/etc/init.d/launchpad stop |

Thanks for the info, guys.

FTR, I found these instructions for achieving recovery mode on a kindle 3. I didn't test them all the way to completion on my kindle, because I don't really want to do a factory reset at this stage, but the first few steps up to typing "RESET" seem to work, and I think it will suffice to save my bacon if I take a disk image. |
