KT2 Using 'imx_usb u-boot.bin' to unstuck at tree

[discombulate]

My kindle is stuck at 'boy reading under tree' image. If I try to reboot, it again gets stuck at this same image. I tried solving this using the guide present here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=340387.

After shorting TM401 and TP1706 and then rebooting 'dmesg' gives the following output:

[  215.919820] usb 3-2: new high-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd
[  216.068426] usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=15a2, idProduct=0063, bcdDevice= 0.01

I get the following output when I use imx_usb_loader to boot a uboot binary:

Now, I should see Amazon Kindle connected in 'lsusb' or 'dmesg' but the output of 'dmesg' instead shows:

[  254.974836] usb 3-2: USB disconnect, device number 5

Similarly, 'lsusb' also does not list the kindle. I've tried using the u-boot.bin provided in the guide as well as extracting from factory firmware version using kindle-tool. I did once manage to get it to be recognized as amazon kindle but then couldn't follow further steps of guide as I was using fastboot for android. After compiling the fastboot for kindle, I tried again but I am getting the same output as shown above.

I would greatly appreciate your help in fixing my first kindle that I purchased from 4 months of savings.

With this method you will not fix your kindle. Since it stops at the picture of the boy under the tree then the uboot as well as the kernel are working. You probably just need to reload the software. Your best bet would be to connect to the reader's serial port and see what's really going on.
