While the latter is easy enough to do, you'll most likely have to tweak the code/scripts of the hack itself for it to work properly on another model/fw  .
Cf. the top of this page for the quickest repack method, which most likely won't suffice/will potentially wreak havoc on your device in the case of the specific hack you're working with (I'm not sure the browser behaves the exact same way/is even the same codebase as what runs on FW 3.x).
Once you have tweaked the code to play nice with a K4, you can do what you were trying to, but with the proper syntax ;p
Code:
kindletool create ota2 -d kindle4 Relative_Path
Check post #2 for some example packages and the output from kindletool help for more details about the syntax . [Namely, since you mentioned an absolute path in your message, the -C switch, because by default kindletool behaves like tar, and if you feed it an absolute path, it *will* archive an absolute path, which you most decidedly do NOT want to do )]. |
It's the FreeDownload hack. It runs as a service, looks at the browser logs, and when you try to download a PDF/other file it downloads the file via curl, then auto-unzips it if it's a zip file. It also shows some sort of progress indicator at the bottom of the screen. Do you think something like this would need recoding for Kindle 4?
