kt3 basic, poor brick without diags, u-boot only, how to send backup files?
please i need help, in case that i cannot solve more than three full days in warm spring Arambol village, near my laptop with blinking uart module. . .
i have brick kt3 basic (all - new ereader 2016) 5.9.4 before brick. it was done with wrong diags image send to fasboot, when i stuck in diags. i have full backup made by tools backup, of same 5.94 j.b. (from another kindle) i can't boot to fastboot, or even bist, due kernel error, all i have - uboot with mmc commands. please, someone told me about sending and writing backup files through u-boot. i eat a tons of mobileread and other u-boot similar forums no idea is it possible to send and write backup files through u-boot, or it is throw-away-pad only? i still in amazon guarantee year, but kindle seems like photoframe with cool 2 color led.

Click his nickname in left info box - See? No "send private message to ..." in the dropdown box. Which means he is still under the "new member restrictions" - which also prohibits edit/deleting his own posts. And since we do not have a forum moderator ... What a waste of #16 000 |

I didn't know about this restriction.
It's a stupid restriction |

Section #11 I agree, there are better ways to control automated forum spam but the software Mobileread is running is very old. |

You dont have to open kindle chassis in this case.

What you faced was not a bricked KT3 it was in the adb mode. exactly this happened with me .. I tried everything keeping button pressed for minutes but "Reboot and enter Fastboot mode" wont go away then finally after 5-10 minutes I used android adb shell to get inside the diags mode. probably some soul will wander here and see this comment. |

Yeah, thanks to @kapaggar's experience and the images he graciously provided, I may end up fixing the RP install, but this isn't on top of the TODO list right now, since that involves rewriting the install script, something I never did because it's a PITA, it's boring, but crucial, and if I fuck it up it's potentially awful.

1. How you entered fastboot in your kindle. 2. Which host was ( Win7/MacOS/Linux ) was used and which fastboot you had to use . I am stuck somewhere in boot after I did idme -d bootmode fastboot in main mode and restart. I am hoping its in fastboot mode and I am not able to connect to it yet. I tried a couple of fastboot binaries and now I am waiting for UART/USB converter to arrive. - tried kindle fastboot compiled on my mac - tried https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=170929 https://github.com/TobiasWooldridge/Fastboot-Kindle Right now testing https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=171460 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...3&postcount=88 mentions we need diff fastboots for diff Kindle device models. Can you please tell which one you used to get in fastboot. |

It is not an Android in Kindle basic, (even other Kindle readers) it is "Linux Kindle" inside, thats why we dont have adb mode, we have only "diags" mode, and it is absolutely different thing. No way to use adb shell with kindle devices, because ADB - it is Android Debug Bridge, and it works only with android-based devices. Last edited by 3ldn1k; 08-13-2018 at 02:03 PM. |

1. To get fastboot shell you need to solder uart to mainboard, connect usb to your laptop, then you need to open terminal (better is minicom on a linux, because it have upload ability), next - you need configure minicom, for right connection speed, then reboot reader (just unplug and plug battery again), when you can see some output to your terminal - you can see message - press any key to fastboot mode (or something like that) and press any key. Next type "bist", press enter, type "fastboot", enter again, you log in fastboot shell. (it maybe some different steps, when you in u-boot, i am not sure, because i am unbricked my kindle about a half year ago) 2. i have used linux and windows7 on my laptop, and cp2102 USB uart module to getting shell. I have used Debian-based distro, with "minicom" terminal and simple fastboot package from Debian distro. When i used Windows - I have used "putty" as a terminal on a Windows for gettng shell, and simply fastboot, it does not matter which fastboot package you need, every fastboot works fine, when you go deeper Last edited by 3ldn1k; 08-14-2018 at 12:58 AM. |
