I have one question.
In firmware version 5.1.2 with Collections Manager 1.3.3, when I put a book inside a collection through the "official option", this book is still shown in the main page. This not happens in previous versions. Is it because of the firmware version, a bug or due to the installation of the Collection Manager? |

Does it work on the Paperwhite?
This is a question for the people who already own a Paperwhite, and who are adventurous enough to try this...
Collections Manager should be far less firmware-version-dependent than, for instance, JBPatch. In fact, it might work out of the box on Paperwhites. At least, substituting the Amazon libraries on the build path with the files from FW 5.2.0 (instead of FW 5.1.2) does not produce any compile errors, so it might actually just work. To test it, you will need: - the developer keys - need to be manually installed - the Kindlet jailbreak (manually install it as outlined in the src/ folder) - this should install without any problems; the original file is the same on the Touch and PW. - and of course the .azw2 file from the first post. I would be interested to know whether it works, or if it doesn't, which errors it produces. In case of hangs or crashes, more information is available either in the system log, or in /mnt/us/developer/Collections Manager/work/ (well, at least, that's where logs go on the Kindle Touch). Anyone? |

I'd be glad to help out - once I can get this thing working! I'm having issues getting usbnet working so I can get a terminal, which would seem to be a prerequisite for installing developer keys. If I'm mistaken, or if there's an easier way to do this, let me know. (I've worked with Linux embedded systems before, but never the Kindle in particular.)

If anybody can repackage the usbnetwork files for the PW, make them available, and chime back in here, that would be appreciated. Otherwise, I'll now try to build the latest version of kindletool and repackage those files myself. |

You can find that as an attachment to the top post of the jailbreak thread (both jailbreak and usbnet both repackaged to include Kpw).

Now I cleaned up the Wiki page instead, so it actually points to the current files instead of outdated ones. And the jailbreak thread is also easier to find now. @blueshiftlabs: Could you give it a go with that file and report back? |

It is (suppose to be) updated in his public repo with a planned release on Tuesday. But I guess you don't have to wait for it now that you did the work yourself. |

Concerning the "I did the work myself": yes I did... somehow. Actually, I did the work, but not even for myself: I don't even own a PW yet. I did it for other people who do own a PW, but I have to rely on those other people to actually test it, because I can't do it by myself. And there have been about 10 downloads now, some of which must have been from PW owners. And yet, nobody even bothered to post a simple reply along the lines of "yes, it works" or "no, it doesn't work", which is what I explicitly asked (almost begged) for. |

"you did the work yourself" != "you did the work for yourself"
I was following your earlier request to write posts that anyone could understand, but I can not be held responsible for what translation systems do to my sentence structure. |

no translation system except for my brain. (yes, I admit that I never know when to use "do it myself" or "do it by myself" in english). The point is: I spent some effort, and I didn't do it for myself, but for others. Expecting that those others could at least provide some feedback, so that everybody could benefit in the end. And the result was: I did the work, some other folks benefited (or not), and the benefit for the community was pretty much: zero - because there was no feedback. |

@ixtab: Err, you got the wrong file, I did repack usbnet for the PW (that's from a download from the post, to check that I didn't simply upload the wrong package ^^):
Code:
Checking update package update_simple_usbnet_1.1_install.bin Bundle SP01 Cert number 0 Cert file pubdevkey01.pem Bundle FD04 Bundle Type OTA V2 Minimum OTA 0 Target OTA 18446744073709551615 Devices 5 Device Kindle 5 Touch Wifi Device Kindle 5 Touch Wifi+3G Device Kindle 5 Touch Wifi+3G Europe Device Kindle PaperWhite Wifi Device Kindle PaperWhite Wifi+3G Critical 0 Padding Byte 0 (0x00) MD5 Hash aea19ffb35240c2e9275135e19fcbf07 Metadata 0 That's confirmed by the name of the bundlefile in your log: update-simple_usbnet-install.dat That's what the python packer did (that Yifan tweaked to build his first few K5 packages). KindleTool always uses update-filelist.dat . Last edited by NiLuJe; 10-07-2012 at 12:56 PM. |
