Exclamation Problem to exit ENABLE DIAGS in kindle touch

Hi everyone

First, I want to introduce in this forum, I read a lot about him and and they have been useful.
Recently, I have a problem with my kindle touch.
I intended to make the jailbreak Yifan Lu following his method, but finally it dont said “You are Jailbroken”, so that following his explanation create a blank file with the name of the root DIAGS ENABLE, but now I can not go to normal mode because when I give "disable diagnostics", instead of going out usually says "device_info.xml not found, check device settings".
please help
thank you very much

There are several threads in the kindle developer's corner forum that cover details of this.

What you need to do is execute some linux commands inside your kindle. You can do that with a RUNME.sh script, or with an SSH session.

The commands you need (from diagnostics) are:

idme -d --bootmode main
rm -f /mnt/us/ENABLE_DIAGS
reboot


The threads that contain details are:

I had a similar problem. When the diag mode comes up in the touch, select "device settings". Screen will flash once. go back and disable the diagnostics. This worked for me to bring it back to normal mode.
If this does not work, try out the imgtool suggested by geekmaster in the above post. That is an awesome tool to get out of difficult situations when you are not very familiar with things like me

same problem

very buggy, but selecting device settings and go back to disable diags works for me too ... hope that will be fixed in a new version ...

For the exit menu "disable diags" to work, you need to create a folder and file on your USB drive. There are instructions in the hacking wiki. Or you can run the first test on the top menu, which creates the missing files, then "disable diags" should work...

The problem is that with my Kindle Touch 4 I can't access through SSH even if can ping it...

Code:
simone@ktiger:~$ ping 192.168.15.244
PING 192.168.15.244 (192.168.15.244) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.15.244: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=1.64 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.15.244: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.604 ms
^C
--- 192.168.15.244 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.604/1.125/1.647/0.522 ms

simone@ktiger:~$ ssh root@192.168.15.244
ssh: connect to host 192.168.15.244 port 22: Connection refused
Is there a way to solve this issue?

Thanks for your support.

What is a "Kindle Touch 4"? Kindle 4 models DO NOT have a touchscreen.

In this forum, K4 = Kindle 4 (Mini), and K5 = Kindle 5 (Touch).

I (and others) have had problems accessing K4 SSH when booted from main, so we use WiFi instead. When booting from diags, SSH works fine. If you have a K5, SSH is not installed unless you added it using the "simple debricking" method and/or the simple USBnetwork hack.

To access an SSH terminal shell through WiFi, you need to enable that in the kindle's firewall, which you can do by adding a line to the "iptables" config file:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...s_through_wifi

Although that link points into the K4 hacking wiki, it will also work on a K5.

I encountered the same problem, trying to jail break my kindle (with instructions by yifan.lu) so I could install new screen savers. Finally solved it: I went into USB mode from the diagnostics menu. I deleted the ENABLE_DIAGS text file I had been instructed to put in the root of the kindle and put in the RUNME.sh and data.tar.gz (files available in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=169645). I ejected (safely removed) the kindle. Then I then chose “D) Exit, Reboot or Disable Diags” then “D) Disable Diagnostics” and “Q) To continue” -- until it rebooted. The screen said runme.sh was running then returned me to my original homescreen. I deleted the runme files from the root of the kindle. The kindle is also now successful jailbroken.
