Kindle SE Blank Megrez issue

airguitarist · 04-12-2019, 04:56 PM

My kindle (KT2) stucked at the tree screen with an empty progress bar. When I connect it to the windows it appears as SE Blank Megrez. I took the photo below from an live linux version. Can I revive my device from this situation? Thanks in advance.

What you are seeing is the iMX6 SDP USB bootloader.
You have apparently screwed up your u-boot.

I don't own any Kindles nor do I know much about them.
I do own Glowlight Nooks (which also use iMX6SL, same as Kobo).
I use my imxboot.exe to load/experiment with secondary bootloaders.

You will need to download that at http://www.temblast.com/android.htm
You will also need to connect up a UART to the console inside.
You will also need to get a u-boot for your Kindle.

You would be better served if you got your imx bootloader from this site, which includes the Amazon/Lab126 specific code.
or
Enjoy re-inventing a round rather than square wheel.

Did you leave out the URL?

I did leave it out on purpose.
The answer can be found in the "sticky" threads at the top of this forum's index on the subject of jail breaking.
There are only 6 sticky items, and 2 of them will lead the reader to the information required.
