@geekmaster I've this problem with another demo kindle that keeps dropping out of fastboot, I remembered you posted a uboot image that changed permanently the boot mode to fastboot but I can't find it... could you point me to it please? |

The thing is the kindle cannot boot into diags any more... whatever is the reason! I really remember having seen those uboots that saved the bootmode... maybe I'm just wrong

PS: If you're talking about the 5.1.2 main image, it's from a Wifi-only Kindle - but the FW is identical anyway. Maybe the demo Kindles report a different (wrong) ID "somewhere" (TM). Last edited by ixtab; 08-18-2012 at 06:41 AM. |

This one is a K4. A broken kernel is what I was suspecting as well, probably I messed up with the files for Touch and Non-Touch since I had just flashed a K5.

I do not know if the K4 kernel images are COMPLETELY good or not. I suppose we should upload fresh kernel images. |

@geekmaster: Speaking of getkernels, did you publish the 'fixed' version yet, or are you still working on it?

EDIT: I will be away for several hours. I will test my updated getkernels script later today before posting it. I plan to extract some virgin K3 images from a new-in-box K3 wifi today too, and I will use my updated getkernels script for part of that. I will upload this stuff within the next day. EDIT2: getkernels has been updated. Last edited by geekmaster; 09-24-2012 at 09:08 AM. |

As the linked post shows, some (or most) of our kernels are rounded up to the next 1024 bytes, so should not be too short. It is only when a kernel is from 1 to 64 bytes short of a full 1024 bytes that any bytes should get truncated (which is apparently the case for the new 5.1.x kernels).
