Hello,
I (with a help of my friend) am trying to recover a Kindle Voyage that is bricked by a software update.
We tried to follow the detailed explanations here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ghlight=voyage
The instructions are working up to the item 16 ("On the kinle tap 'Exit' and then 'Reboot or Disable Diags', then 'Exit to login prompt'"), because when I run 'bootm 0xE41000', Kindle continues to display the same tree image as before, and the following shows up in the log:
There is no Linux prompt...
If I exit boot_diag by pressing ENTER:
I get the following
If I select the option '3', I get the following:
It seems that everything (uboot, bist) is working up to Linux kernel, but the kernel is not loaded because of MMC errors:
The same is happening with 'boot_diag'. However, KIndle is not detected by the PC at all.
I also tried 'bist fastboot', hoping that after entering fastboot Kindle will be detected by PC, but it is not.
One option from 'bist' sound promising:
but in order to exercise it, I need to know where to load, what to load and be able to build it for loading.
I would appreciate suggestions on what I could try next.
Thank you!
