just tried jailbreak for DXG with update_jailbrereak_dxg_install.bin and it does not work. "update firmware" is grayed out. as mentioned previously we are looking at serial B009..... with firmware 2.5.5 (495460008)

Argh. Okay, I had a wrong info on the serial num, which *may* explain why my previous attempts didn't work...
EDIT: There. Packages in the first post updated. Let me know how these go! ![]() @acarr: Yes, there was. Unfortunately the only way to do this (AFAICT) was through a binary patch of a java .jar (part of the Kindle framework), and that's waaaay out of my league ^^. Appart from this ss hack, the only other possible thing (AFAIK), is tweaking the timeouts before the Kindle goes to ss/sleep. It may not be particularly friendly on the batterly life/lifespan though.

![]() ![]() What could be the reason? I've got a Kindle 2 International with firmware 3.5.3 |

I found applying clarknova's jailbreak hack worked on my K2 with 2.5.3 (which I assume you meant). I have successfully installed the font hack and the screensaver hack since then.

@outismetis: W00t! Thanks for the feedback!
![]() @seagull: Er, if the jailbreak update didn't fail, I'm assuming it means that your Kindle already was jailbroken? (never really tried, but that's a bit weird...). And what do you mean exactly by 'doesn't work'? Did you put the full linkss/ folder in the root of your Kindle? Last edited by NiLuJe; 07-09-2010 at 11:18 AM. |

Nope, it wasn't already jailbroken. By 'doesn't work' I meant that instead of displaying the files I had in the linkss folder it just displayed the default kindle screensavers. Clarknova's jailbreak + screensaver hack worked perfectly though. |

They're supposed to be in the linkss/screensavers directory, not linkss/.
Anyway, that's weird, the jailbreak install is identical to clarknova's... Unless I broke something with the DXg updates, but that would be surprising... |

And I just tweaked the default screensaver in the ss hack to make it more obvious that the install was successful.

I got the new DXg and wanted my own screensavers.
I added the linkss directory to the root folder, then added the DXg bin to the root folder as well. Hit "update" and it said "unsuccessful" or something, and I still only see the old kindle screensavers. Not sure what I did wrong. I looked in the screensaver folder and saw the "you can delete this now" png so I figured I did it right. I added several 824x1200 png's to the screensaver folder but none are showing up. probably a stupid user error on my part, im new to this.. |

Did you install the jailbreak first?
