PW2 images from Amazon are complete (Main) system images.
Unpack them with Kindletool. The "Diags" system ... Never shipped by Amazon, make your own: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=289690 Now all you have to do is find someone to run the command for you. And next time, run it for yourself BEFORE you brick your Kindle. The maintainer of those Media Fire links passed away a few months ago. |

Hey. I bricked my black K4 and apparently I need firmware version 4.1 but the download links on the website do nothing (Chrome Developer Tools console shows a 404).
kernel-4.1.0: http://ge.tt/8bd9NXU/v/1 mmcblk0p1-4.1.0: http://ge.tt/8bd9NXU/v/0 Does anyone have the files or a working link to the files? UPDATE: I tried flashing 4.0 even though the file (https://pastebin.com/Wdw4L7yT) says that black ones need 4.1.0 and it worked! UPDATE2: Now I'm unable to update to the latest version (Original update file is not detected, repacked using kindletool it launched but failed with error u006).

Unbricking instructions for Kindle Touch using Kubrick
This is my first post here. I was able to install version 5.1.2 on two old Kindle Touches I had lying around unused. I used Kubrick with some modifications. I made notes for myself in case I had to do it again and I thought I'd share them with people here. These instructions are for people well versed in Linux, but I added pretty detailed notes.
Done on a Kindle Touch. Adjust files accordingly. Boot kubrick usb drive made with rufus. Start kubrick until it fails with error. Mount usb (usually /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1. Can be found by running dmesg) on /media/cdrom. Run command “mount /dev/sdb1 /media/cdrom” to accomplish this. Go to /media/cdrom/kubrick (type “cd /media/cdrom/kubrick” and <enter>) and run “sh mountjava.sh”. Go back to /root (type “cd /root” and <enter>) and run “sh autostart.sh” to start kubrick, which should start now with no error. Go through steps on kubrick until usbnet is up and running. The only trick here is to be able to get Kindle in recovery mode while plugged into your computer. Follow the on-screen instructions. Then open command prompts on tty4 and tty6 by doing CTRL-ALT-Fn-F4 and CTRL-ALT-Fn-F6. On tty4 log in to the local machine (username: root and blank password). On tty6 log in locally and then ssh into the Kindle “ssh root@192.168.15.244” (password:mario). On tty4 (local machine’s command prompt): Transfer all scripts from /media/cdrom/kubrick/resources/scripts/kindle to Kindle using scp. The command is “scp /media/cdrom/kubrick/resources/scripts/kindle/* root@192.168.15.244:/tmp/” This transfers all the files to Kindle’s /tmp directory. Run command: “mkdir /tmp/kubrick_sfs” and then “mount -o loop -t squashfs /media/cdrom/kubrick/resources/devices/k5/fastboot.sfs /tmp/kubrick_sfs” Run command: “scp /tmp/kubrick_sfs/main_kernel root@192.168.15.244:/mnt/us/” (password: mario). Run: “scp /media/cdrom/kubrick/kt_5.1.2-mmcblk0p1-main.img root@192.168.15.244:/mnt/us/” (password: mario). I copied the file “kt_5.1.2-mmcblk0p1-main.img” to the USB drive before I started. I got it from http://www.mediafire.com/file/5yj6l3...p1-main.img.gz Everything else is done on tty6. Remember to toggle between the consoles (tty’s) with CTRL-ALT-Fn-F4 or CTRL-ALT-Fn-F6 key combinations. Be sure to issue command “mntroot rw” after logging in to Kindle to mount filesystem read/write. Issue command “cd /tmp” to change to /tmp directory. Issue the following commands: “dd if=/mnt/us/main_kernel of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4096 seek=65” “dd if=/mnt/us/kt_5.1.2-mmcblk0p1-main.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4096” “sh blast_mnt_us.sh” “sh blast_var_local.sh” “sh install_jailbreak.sh” <optional> “sh reboot_main.sh” When Kindle boots up it should be unbricked and on 5.1.2 and optionally jailbroken. Be sure to install “kindle-mkk-20141129” by adding the file “Update-mkk-20141129-k5-ALL_install.bin” to root directory from within Windows. The directory is /mnt/us on the Kindle. Then update kindle in the normal way through the menu. Once it boots back up, install KUAL-v2.7 by placing “KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2” file in the documents directory on the Kindle – /mnt/us/documents, which is done when mounted in Windows (in Windows it’s just documents directory). Unzip “koreader-kindle-arm-kindle5-linux-gnueabi-v2019.04.zip” at the root of the Kindle in Windows (/mnt/us on Kindle) so that it creates koreader and extensions directories. Install usbnet by putting file “Update_usbnet_0.21.N_install_touch_pw.bin” in root directory on Kindle in Windows (/mnt/us on Kindle) and then updating device in normal way through menu. When it boots back up attach Kindle to Windows and go to usbnet/etc directory. Edit the file “config” and change the ip address to one that will work on your subnet and enable ability to connect over wifi. Leave everything else unchanged. Reboot Kindle one more time by holding in power button for 25 seconds or so. When it boots back up both koreader and usbnet should be available in KUAL. Usbnet can be toggled for wireless ssh connectivity from within usbnet. Be sure to log in over ssh and change the root password from “mario” to something else. Good luck! |

type ONLY the kindletool command on the command line, no options, and it will print its help file (which is also include in its release archive and various places around this forum).
Read and follow the directions (which includes examples). |

For the last couple of years I have been unbricking my Kindle using the cool dummies guide instructions on this forum. I was using the booting off a USB stick model, with the only compatible lap-top I could find. My kindle hangs every couple of months, and I've lost my fecking USB stick !!! Now I see that the files are no longer available to download and I dont know what to do. Kindle is a D01100.
I see ixtabs bitbucket site, but i don't know how to use his content. I know my way around Linux a bit but am not an expert. Is there a new dummies tutorial, or a place where someone is hosting kubrick-usb-base.zip ? Somehow I found the ISO ( kubrick-k3-k4-k5-zip ), but need the former file. Thanks in advance to anyone who can set me on a path of enlightenment! Cheers Jeff |

jeff-vader, I'm not sure if the kubrick version that I used will work on your model, but it's worth a try. Use the same procedure that I did, but substitute the kernel and main image files for your model. Try pastebin.com/Wdw4L7yT for those files. Let me know how this goes.

Hi All,
Just recovered my PW2 from the repair needed screen following bits of advice from the forums here, Thanks to you all I tried several different ways as I was trying to not lose any personal data, only my last attempt was actually successful and that wiped the device. Trying other methods resulted in various states in which the device was unresponsive to anything other than the serial port. My advice is accept the data loss and recover using the factory image. BEWARE - FOLLOWING THIS WILL RESULT IN DATA LOSS AND MIGHT STILL NOT WORK FOR YOU. ATTEMPT THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK Here is what eventually worked for me: 1. Solder serial connection 2. Use a USB to TTL adapter and realterm to connect to the Kindle 3. Boot to diagnostic menu: uboot>bootm 0xE41000 4. Download update bin from Amazon 5. In the diagnostic menu start USB mode 6. Rename the update to update.bin and transfer to Kindle over USB 7. Reboot Kindle 8. Setup as new T |

Briked K5
Hello everyone, first of all thank you very much for all the information and availability you have in this forum.
I have the following problem, a K5 does not start, but the battery if it is charged, try to recover it with Kubrik, but it is frozen in usb donwload mode. Then I tried MfgTool, which leaves it in fastboot. But after that he is paralyzed again. Finally I used the USB TTY cable, and I have the following dialog: Spoiler:
If i try bootm 0xE41000 appears Spoiler:
THK a lot |

@term:
The process you posted should not have affected your books on the USB accessible storage. Unless of course, you might not have posted a missing step or two. @Mr.Markus: Sounds like multiple failures of the eMMC chip. There is a thread here (somewhere) on replacing that chip if you have the hot air re-work tools to change it. Last edited by knc1; 05-20-2020 at 07:12 PM. |

Thanks for your quick response.
The first thing was to do a new installation of Windows XP, on an old computer. and he stops at that point, he doesn't ask me to install drivers, it doesn't occur to me what else I could have done wrong. I have a hot air gun, but I would have to order the replacement from China. |

You might have the wrong profile. The "Kindle Fire (i.e: color)" readers are Android and the "Kindle grayscale" models (this forum) are Amazon/Linux. Both use a "fastboot" program but they are different! Be sure you have the correct fastboot tool (such as from this forum, none other). |

Thanks again for your response and concern, I got the MfgTools file when I downloaded it in the KindleSelectBoot folder that appears in the Guide to debricking kindle touch v4, next to the Profile files.
Spoiler:
Thanks again |
