Device: pw3, kt2
KT2 override diags_kernel and erased emmc, what to do next?

TL,DR. Device is KT2. Trying to make it a smart screen to display weather or todo list. I think I need to use wifi, python and eips command. Tried to jailbreak it, but made some mistakes, emmc has been erased. Tried to downgrade it with 5.8.7 and succeeded. But still cannot do bootm 0xE41000. Then erased it again and re-install, but failed because of replacing diags_kernel with uImage by mistake. Do I really need to install a full kindleOS for making it work like a smart screen supported by python? If I need, what should I do next?

Hi comrades, it’s my first time to make a post, hope that I don’t forget anything. If there is any problem, plz let me know. Thank you for your patience.

I’m trying to make my kt2 a smart screen as a birthday for my friend. At the beginning, it’s 5.12.2. So tried to jailbreak with serial debug. But erased emmc by mistake. Then, successfully installed 5.8.7 with export FAT partition and update using update*.bin file on FAT partition.

It was too late, about 2 am, so I went to bed. When I unlock the screen next morning, I found it was upgraded to 5.12.2 because I forget to disconnect wifi. Thank you Amazon. And I tried bootm 0xE41000, can’t get kernel image. So, I erased it again for downgrading. While re-installing 5.8.7, I replaced build-in diags_kernel with uImage in .bin file of 5.8.7. Then, I cannot re-install 5.8.7 like before.

I found one comrade said .bin file contains everything needed except diags_kernel. And I don’t find compatible .img files for my KT2 so far. So, have no ideas what to do next, hope you guys can give me some guidance. Thank you, comrades!
