KT3 KT3 stuck in diagnostic mode

[SKK]

Hi, I have a KT3 in the new diagnostic mode. How do I get it out? If I click Reboot or disable Diags there is only the option to Reboot but not to disable Diags. Thanks!

USB device Mode > ADB

And then the usual over an adb shell: idme -d --bootmode main && sync && reboot

I don't think it is going into adb mode. When I do what you said the screen flashes and says switching to ADB mode. But then it says Exit code:0
Maybe I just don't know what I am doing.

0 is a successful exit code :?

What OS are you using?
You have to install adb platform tools on your computer.
What is the output of lsusb (Linux) or what you find in the device manager? (windows)?

Hi I am using Windows 10. I installed adb platform tools now. The Kindle shows up as eanab under Universal Serial Bus Devices on device manager. If I run adb devices the Kindle shows up. My problem now is that I don't know how to run the commands NiLuJe told me to. I am not good at this kind of thing. Thanks for your help so far.

Does our companion forum (Kindle Fire (I.E: Android)), have a "Basics of" or an "Using the Android Debugger" description?
Maybe in their (the common for all) Wiki?

= = = = =

Their should certainly be an "Introduction to ADB" article (or a few hundreds) on the 'web but I am thinking of one that is already specific to however Amazon is building it.

adb shell
su

Thanks! It worked perfectly.

Nice.
A firmware version independent way to put our signature certificate (jail break) on those devices and firmware versions that are supporting ADB.
(Not all are.)

The "Cliff's Notes" version:

{whatever it takes to get the device into ADB (either main or diags) }
adb shell
su
cp -a /mnt/us/pubdevkey01.pem /etc/uks
{done}

NOTE: Since this often depends on some low-level code that is only installed at the factory (is not included in the Amazon image update files) it probably depends on ship date and the source (country) of the Kindle.

All we need is for someone with the time (and Kindles) to research the limitations.

Is the su actually needed in this case? I'd think it was running as root already (but I don't have a KT3, so, what do I know ).

We can try the whoami command

I have around 6 of them that were stuck in that mode. I just tried it one one of them that I hadn't gotten out yet. The su command was not necessary.

[SKK]

I don't know if it means anything or not, but every single one that I got out of that mode was running firmware 5.8.2.1

Is busybox installed on your device(s)?
