PW5 Getting UART and UART root shell on PW5 - Page 2

If only the file system from the user's area is damaged, such an overwrite will help. Your colleague certainly does not overwrite the Rpmb area because he would now have tons of kindle with identical serial numbers, if at all such an overwriting of this area is possible in such a way that the image from another reader works.

So far, I've got working UART via USB C and I enabled root shell on it.
