Thanks!

In return, here's the source code of kubrick.jar: https://bitbucket.org/ixtab/kubrick

ixtab · 02-22-2013, 01:56 PM

Version 2.0 is now available for download from the first post.

... and this is off-topic, and probably not for everyone. But I like it.

I think Kubrick now deserves being mentioned in OP of the "Simple debricking" thread and on wiki as well.
The "Simple debricking" instructions are in fact complicated as hell compared to Kubrick.

You will know that it is jailbroke when you try to install a custom mod, and if it installs, you are jailbroke. Jailbreak will survive the update back to 5.3.2 on Touch. But then you have to reinstall everything else. So it is best to jailbreak, upgrade, then install everything you want intstalled.

I download your kubrick. Nice job

Now I want to change folder resources on this tool ( from kt 5.1.2 to 5.1.0 )
you can show me how to get it

superium · 02-23-2013, 05:07 AM

great job !

mike7 · 02-23-2013, 06:48 AM

In table after boot is selection for K4 - (non tuch) or K5.
Can I used it for my Kindle touch 5.3.2?
THX

K5 = Kindle Touch.
I doesn't matter what firmware version you have (or whether you actually have any firmware installed at all).
Kubrick doesn't rely on any firmware features, it operates with pure metal and rewrites everything without mercy (with the exception of user data and documents).

See http://doc.slitaz.org/en:handbook:hacklivecd .
If it's beyond your abilities, don't even try and flash your Kindle manually instead.

could it be loaded by grub4dos ?
i've tried :
title [0] kubrick for debrick kindle3
root (hd0,9)/kubrick
kernel /BOOT/VMLINUZ_.6_S root=/dev/ram0 PMEDIA=satahd psubdir=kubrick pfix=ram
initrd /BOOT/BZIMAGE

title [6] KUBRICK iso
root (hd0,8)
map --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 --mem /kubrick.iso (hd32)
map --hook
chainloader (hd32)
boot
--------------------------
both fail.

Just set the BIOS of your machine to search for a bootable CD as the first thing in the search order.

THX for advice, but I screw it up! and selected wrong HW so I now have on my K-touch FW for K3. During reaplication kubrick boot SW it ended (after holding power and selection button device) to reboot then it switch to normal screen but in K3 so I cannot manage it with touch device....

kubrick is still red and wait for connection...
Can I ask for help?

dsmid · 02-23-2013, 10:07 AM

You need to put your Kindle Touch into USB downloader mode, just press and hold both power button and home button until Kubrick is able to detect it.
