What files to create to get back to "Set up your Kindle" ?
Does anyone know what files have to exist to force a Kindle Scribe to *go back to the OOBE state"?
This is the opposite of the recent question about bypassing the aggressive Kindle prompting. Since a Factory Reset is one way to get out of the out-of-the-box experience, presumably there are some additional flag files in the standard image? Last edited by bulltricks; 07-10-2024 at 04:34 PM.

You can just launch oobe through LIPC
(I think it's a combination of files in var and dynamic props but i don't exactly remember. Look into the OOBE binary in /app ![]() Last edited by Marek; 07-11-2024 at 12:42 PM. |

With all due respect to your work(donated for ur ko-fi), I guess, we should not show users, how to tamper the serial number, to bypass registrations. Amazon might be using the device serial number for warranty. If the user assigns serial number of another device registered with Amazon(which is purchased), wouldn't it cause issues to the valid device ? Mergen published strps on JBing scribe and successful registration. Also we have extensions for disabling updates/logging. Sorry for hijacking thread.

In my opinion, the Scribe goes too far, and I fear the rest of the Kindles will follow.
Amazon attempts to require the Scribe be registered, and an updated firmware downloaded, before allowing the Scribe to be used without a network connection. This makes registration attacks fair-game just to use the purchased hardware. Changing the device serial number is impractical - one can watch what goes on during registration by adding their own root certificates in two places. If one does that, they would observe what is sent by the Kindle, and unless you have Amazon signing keys.. |
