Scuzzball fucks up, suprises everyone.
This has now become "Scuzzball is a bloody noob and fucks everything up, but in weird ways and fails to see the obvious except in hindsight"
(Many thanks for all the help) Original post: Spoiler:

You can create the missing XML file by running the first diag in the main diags menu. Then you can disable diags in the exit menu. Also, your battery will continuously discharge while in diags mode, so you should keep it plugged into a charger until you get around to exiting diags properly.

It has been plugged into a laptop, and after noticing that the reason I was having trouble with fastboot was that it contained an HTML redirect, not an actual program.
I had gotten it from sudoforlunch.cc.something, which turned into sudoforlunch.org, and never put it back up or something. So it started working(Defined as boots to the normal kindle stuff) when I was fucking around trying to find the ID to make it work for windows. I may have run that diag while trying to find the ID. I'm currently a bit confused on what I'm supposed to be trying to flash to the diags so I can SSH into it in the future, and how I'm supposed to find the device id for the windows stuff, and if I could just ignore the windows stuff and get a copy of fastboot for linux. EDIT: Should I just do this: http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images/...ssh_README.txt ? Last edited by Scuzzball; 12-22-2012 at 02:40 AM. |

Okay, many thanks for your help, I'll be trying that once I get home, halfway across the united states, by car. Woo.
While the information on this forum is jumbled, and sometimes hard to follow, it is immensely useful. Thank you(Both of you) for such work at it, I"ve been seeing your posts everywhere, and they are quite immensely useful at times. Especially the compiled information threads. Thank you. |

Hopefully people will continue to add links to the index wikis that point into this forum (and other places on the greater interwebs) in a concerted group effort to "unjumblify" all of the great content we have here. Last edited by geekmaster; 12-22-2012 at 09:43 AM. |

Okay: Worrying. I did the steps listed here
http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images/...ssh_README.txt It still boots fine, thankfully, but the diags mode doesn't let me ssh in once I've enabled usb networking. Should I try again? Not really sure how this could happen, it not have ssh support, but still boot. Last edited by Scuzzball; 12-22-2012 at 09:38 PM. |

What is the address of the Kindle used? What is the address of the client machine used? What OS is the client machine? What application is used on the client machine? What is the "doesn't work" message produced at the client machine? What have you done to be sure that sshd is running on the kindle once you've enabled usb networking? Are you using nmap? Or some other tool? |

Right, really do need to specify stuff like that.
Using the IP's specified here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...4&postcount=13 Computer IP, set with "sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.15.201" Kindle IP: 192.168.15.244 Computer OS: Xubuntu I just used "ssh root@192.168.15.244" Error on above command: ssh: connect to host 192.168.15.244 port 22: Connection refused I can ping it. I haven't tried nmap, but if it's not running on port 22, not sure what I would be trying to find with nmap. |

An open port 22.
"ping" usually means that icmp protocol is responding (unless your using a special version of "ping"). Nmap will tell us if a server is running on that address:port-whatever. (Higher level test, higher level protocols than icmp.) sudo apt-get install nmap Do not be surprised if it is already installed. |

I got zenmap, just for the sake of lazyness(I usually do use cli's, but I started using it when still on windows, and meh)
Command: nmap -p 22 -T4 -A -v 192.168.15.244 PHP Code:

Installing USBnetworking does several things (it is a script which you can read if curious).
One of the things is to modify iptables to open port 22 incoming. That change has been done, at sometime, somehow. Otherwise nmap would report "status: blocked" That report looks like sshd is not running. How are you trying to start sshd after installing USBnetworking? |

Someone more familar with using USBnet might be able to help out at this point.
Or maybe some help available in the README file or indexed in the Wiki. |
