The subject here is a "Amazon Certified Refurbished Kindle" (PW3-4Gbyte).
The device has been on the market nearly two years now, the point here is to see what can be learned about this device's past.
It arrived in a rather plain brown box, Amazon logo on top, serial number seal on flap.
So I removed it from its box.
Not being satisfied with doing that, I next removed it from its case.
And hooked up a serial port to it.
(Note: I have not yet turned it on, I want to catch what I can before the 'first boot, run once' changes happen.)
Once ready to turn it on for the first time, I stopped the auto-boot while in u-boot and then manually booted diags.
Oh fun and games, the 'diags' system is much different than what we have written up in the serial jail breaking thread.
No escape to the command line that I have been able to find yet.
Ah, but - -
'Export USB' -
Hookup usb cable -
Find the usual customer view of USB storage -
Eject the USB storage (leaving cable attached) and the menu gives you a choice of 'C' (continue) or 'X' (exit).
Hmm...
How do you continue after the device has been disconnected?
Press: C
And what do you know -
Its idea of continuing brings up USBnetworking.
(There are other messages, in other branches of the diags menu, that relate to mounting an NFS exported root file system and ones about enabling fastboot.)
Now if I can just remember the USBnetworking (Lab126) defaults ....
More as I find out what all of these changes mean (other than they broke our serial jail breaking thread).
= = = =
It is way past the time when they roll up the sidewalks here and sane people go to bed (or watch Star Trek reruns).
I think I will test the 'Power Off' menu entry and continue this thread tomorrow.

Well, that one seems to work as labeled.
More tomorrow.
