Hopefully I can get a faster response from here but I'm trying to install the 2nd Bootloader to my Amazon Kindle 2nd Gen (This information is important), but every method I've tried doesn't seem to work. This is with a downgraded Kindle to version 10.2.3 from 10.4.3. Is there possibly a video that can do a step by step instructions or at least someone who has done this before explain what have I done wrong?
Got a tip for us?

Tried the "app" after rooting and downgrading and I still get a red screen after reboot and tried the Long Version and can't get "stacks" to install into the device. The cmd keeps putting out "Can't find file directory" or something like that.

Tried both with no luck, must be doing something wrong.
Sounds like you need to fastboot the boot loader:

Go to Q7.
EDIT: Make sure you do the backup by the way. Are you on a Mac? Do you have ADB setup?
I do have ADB set up and on windows. And not too sure what is a "signed stock bootloader" as I think I have already done that. Is there a link to one? Many times when I try to flash another bootloader, I get the message saying something like file is too big.

Ok, well, look into the fastboot method. I think that's your only chance, as noted by some of the other replies on that thread you posted.
Ok, now I see your problem, it can't find the stack override file.
Is this where you get stuck?
Code:
adb push stack /data/local/tmp/
adb shell su -c "dd if=/data/local/tmp/stack of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/system bs=6519488 seek=1"That is because you're in the wrong directory. Let's figure out where you are, type in "ls".
And then tell us where you have the stack file.
I have it in my "downloads folder" and one in "platform-tools" if that helps.
Ok, try typing "ls" and tell me the what it lists.
Hashcode told me that you should keep it at 10.2.3 as the bootloader is specifically for it.
In CMD? In CMD it says "'Is' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file."
Which is
The "ls" command gives you a list of files/directories in your current directory. In my case:
Code:
Applications Documents Library Music Public
Desktop Downloads Movies PicturesIf I could get that info, then I could tell you that you need to:
Code:
cd DownloadsWhich would take you into that folder so that the file could be located. Or, I'd just tell you to change:
Code:
adb push stack /data/local/tmp/To:
Code:
adb push /Downloads/stack /data/local/tmp/Sounds more confusing than it is.
So I did
Code:
adb push /Downloads/stack /data/local/tmp/And the result was
Code:
cannot stat '/Downloads/stack': No such file or directory[CODE]
Also the Is command doesn't do anything for me.
it was just getting really interesting too. Like watching a naughty movie and just before we get to the naughtiness suddenly the power goes off!
j/kBut did you resolve this Jessica and fair play to you for doing all that work and helping them out. Big thumbs up

I agree.........TBH, I feel unsatisfied.
I had no idea what was going on but was enthralled anyway.
