Unbrick your Kindle 3 - Video
Here's a small video tutorial about unbricking K3, as I promised.
For now it's "quick&dirty", but I'm planning to make a better one. So...please enjoy and ask questions if you have some ![]() edit : Sorry for little typos in vid... -_- Last edited by seaniko7; 05-26-2011 at 07:36 PM. |

How did you mount the root file system over usb in the start? Also, where'd you get the serial connector?
Great video |

Xqtftqx I've used serial line, just to brick kindle for this tutorial.
You can order cable on FTDI web site ( they have stores in many countries ). I bought mine at : http://apple.clickandbuild.com/cnb/shop/ftdichip Thanks ![]() |

Many people are going to wonder how you found the USB export password. Also I want to know how to build that plug thingy into the kindle.

I searched FTDI for kindle - got nothing. I thought, any USB-to-TTL adapter will do (google for ca-42 cable) ![]() Not clear who sells this piece: ![]() https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99177 |

@yifanlu, Yes, I have this serial gen, but I think it's bad idea to public it!

Update : I've managed to connect to serial line by using usb cable and loading "g_serial" module. I can post instructions here if someone is interested. : )
