Hello,
I'm in a bit of a bind. I have lurked here for many, many years since I picked up my Kindle DX (B004).
I have to believe at some point I dabbled in some random software package that I downloaded here with my Kindle DX, and then promptly had some sort of hard drive crash where I can't see my old downloads - and I don't quite remember what the package was.
Then, today, I started realizing I should upgrade my firmware (2.1), and went to Amazon's site to manually upgrade it to at least 2.3, and after getting me up to 2.1.1, it gave me an error (U006 - Checksum).
When I use the ;debugOn and ;dm commands, this is what it says:
Googling netfront.ini and Kindle DX I can read some really old threads here on a package (Savory? Fonts? USBHack?) that I must have inadvertently poisoned the netfront.ini file with.
I tried to find uninstall.bin's for each of those and can't seem to match it up - it keeps getting shut down on netfront.ini.
Is there any hope of me getting off 2.1.1? Is there a baseline firmware I can install from? I'd love to get to 2.5.8, at least, or launch into 3.2.1 as in reading all these 2019 threads that seems possible (!) - although I don't have access to a Kindle 3, unfortunately.
Any help would be appreciated. Happy to post more logs if that helps.
Cheers!
