If you need a Kernel, then you need both the Kernel and its matching build of modules.
You don't mention which version, so just get the update*.bin file from the Amazon support page. Then take it apart with KindleTool from NiLuJe's snapshots thread. I have been advised that the current update packages __do__ ship the kernel along with the main filesystem (they didn't use to). Last edited by knc1; 10-21-2015 at 01:39 PM. |

You'll get the main kernel that way, yep. For diags, you'll have to resort to your own backups

Hint: look at the build date (2013), the PW-3 wasn't even manufactured back then. The initial factory install for the PW-3 is dated 20150630 and PW-3, 5.6.5 is even newer. The series 5.6.x firmware kernels **are not general**. Newer devices use a newer version of eMMC chip, which the older kernels can not use. Use the 5.6.5 kernel and filesystem image posted by amazon for the PW-3. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...deId=201756220 Use the most recent KindleTool build to take the update package apart to get at the files you need. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=225030 You **do** need to flash the main filesystem image also, not just the (correct) kernel. Note: the main filesystem image is too large for fastboot to install. You need a working diags system installed first and use that to install the main system's filesystem. You will also need to flash a copy of the diags filesystem (not just the diags kernel). I don't know where you will get that, it isn't (yet) posted on any of our recovery image sites. Note: As a general rule, we do not post any recovery images on the image backup sites that Amazon is still distributing, but Amazon never distributed a diags system image. (That is present in the flash when the board is assembled.) Perhaps you can find someone in your own country that has a serial port installed on their PW-3 and who has not pressed the 'erase all' selection. ![]() Have them make you an image of the diags filesystem and diags kernel. The geekmaster scripts should still work for making the backup image of the diags kernel. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...=backup+script The diags system image is the entire contents of /dev/mmcblk0p2. Additional (old) information here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=170929 = = = = PS: the 'erase all' command selection does work, it has since way back when it first appeared, there is no need to try it out. ![]() Last edited by knc1; 10-21-2015 at 05:13 PM. |
