PHASE III — Installing/Compiling Tools
03/27/2019 at 02:30 • 0 commentsSTUCK
I was able to install a few tools like a terminal, packet analyzer, etc. I was trying to run Debian/Ubuntu via chroot but I got stuck here for two reasons:
1. I corrupted the FSTAB and the Kindle reformatted the entire disk destroying all the work.
2. Since my soldering skills are not the best, thus I made damage to the Serial Port while removing soldered cables. Not sure if it is fixable.

PHASE II — Elevating Privileges
03/27/2019 at 01:47 • 0 commentsThe Kindle runs in a low-privileged user — what a surprise. There are several ways to elevate the privileges to super-admin ("root"), in my case the only way was using the Serial Port.
Some solding needs to be done. Sounds fun!

Phase I — Discovery & Research

The GUI runs on a Java app
It looks like the only way of installing apps is compiling them following Debian ARMel architecture
I collected most of the information in MobileReads Forum. They have a section for Kindle Dev, very useful.
