While I'm studying the MADMAXXXX thread about PW3 recovery to help with my previous case
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=269757
I have another case where I could use some help...
This time around it similar to my previous thread: demo unit (French), but the root password derived from the serial number does not work. But there is a twist: I can login as framework/mario.
That seemingly makes life easier. I was able to look at the shadow file and use JTR to extract the real root password.
DIAGS, USB mode, transfer pw52 image, exit to login, dd the image, reboot... Done this before.
But this time around the Kindle does not boot up... Wrong board ID...
Is there anything that can be tried?
I think the discrepancy between the S/N (and its password) could have something to do with this "bad board ID" message...
Just for the record: all demo Kindles (over half a dozen) I ever dealt with were bought from this seller http://stores.ebay.ca/SurplusByDesign?_rdc=1
Thanks.
