Unbrick a PW3
Hi, my PW3 wasn't able to start.
I tried to rescue it by using TTL, but it can't boot into recovery menu. it shows "can't get kernel image". Is there anyone could help me? Thanks very much. Code:

On this forum's index page, there are a number of threads in the "sticky" section. One includes: "Where do I start" in its title. Go there (first post) and dig a bit for the proper de-bricking instructions. Otherwise: If you use Tobias Wooldridge's instructions, get him to help you. |

I had the same problem.
I recovered pw3 with this article. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=269099 However, I removed the diagnostic partition and kernel during the repair process, I could not recover it. Can anyone provide me with diagnostic partitions and kernels? If so, please send it to my email address. hana121024@yahoo.com or, Is there a way to log in to the Kindle system without using the Exit to login prompt in the Diags menu?

I have posted here a backup file that creates the required files.
All you need is the 'diags' kernel and 'diags' filesystem (because Amazon posts an image with all of the 'main' files in it). |

I knew I had to backup but it was too late.
My partition and kernel were removed. Knc1's excellent advice was to restore the main partition and kernel, I could not recover the diagnostic partition and the kernel. I did a search to repair the diagnostic partition and kernel, but I found only backups. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...03#post3569803 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...=backup+script Who can give me the diagnostics partition and kernel of pw3? Please send it to my email hana121024@yahoo.com |
