Attempted serial jailbreak but the diagnostic menu is different?!

cryptocoryne · 01-13-2018, 12:58 PM

I hooked up my KT2 (serial begins 90C6, firmware ver. 5.8.9.2) using a USB serial and I can get to the uboot> prompt.
I enter

Code:

bootm 0xE41000

, some text scrolls by and nothing happens after that.

So I started pressing buttons. Entering a ? gives the text output below.

Entering d, l, m, o just gives the same error.

Code:

    BOURBON_WFO_PREEVT2 - System Diags -  82
   ~~~~  1.16.614.246981  ~~~~ 
     pcbId:0620601144260BGF

(NEONODE DRAW)-Touch Draw test     
(o)-Reboot or Disable Diags

Nevermind. I was using the kindle face down and only looking at my serial terminal. (Since there was some delicate soldering on the back, I was reluctant to move it around.) Flipping it over, I found a menu which allowed me to quit the diagnostics and get to the login prompt.

Everything else wen pretty much according to the guide; got rid of the root password, ran the jb.sh script, and KUAL works!

btw, I used a sparkfun-branded 3V3 FDTI USB serial converter with a Sparkfun bidirectional level shifter. (I got the 1.8V for the low side of the shifter from an Adafruit adjustable breadboard power supply.) I'm not a huge fanboy of Sparkfun, just had this stuff already and wanted to make use of what I already had.
