Try this command: mkdir -p /mnt/base-mmc/amazon/screen_saver/600x800 That will make all of the missing directories along the path. Then do the usual routine for getting out of the diags mode; If your Kindle is still working, try to run the update again. Just putting in the full path may not fix the problem, because there may be other things missing. If the update works, then all is good. If the update fails, the only way to replace everything is to follow the instructions for loading one of the images from the debricking thread(s). Our "de-bricking" expert is about 8 time zones away from me, he should be showing up here in a few more hours. |

Since /test on the root of the "main" mode file system isn't part of the FHS ....
It might be interesting to know how it got there. Could that be part of the upgrading function, to move things to /test ? ? ? ? Since /amazon on the root of the "main" mode file system isn't part of the FHS ... But is now known to be missing on this machine ... Could some action have "moved" /amazon to /test ? ? ? ? Just puzzling questions at this point. But will be interesting to see if the update succeeds with only the screensaver path in place with the screensaver directory empty (white screen, newly made directory). |

@knc1: /test is there on most of the K4 dumps I saw. The ss are in /opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800

Hmm... I don't know where that error crept into the dialog. I probably should have stopped typing after the 10hour point yesterday; At least I hadn't mailed out the bill yet. The O.P. just needs to repeat the above trouble shooting sequence using the corrected path. Last edited by knc1; 07-05-2012 at 02:42 PM. |

K4 NT KSO Screensaver hack
Quote:
Now, i saw on the thread here that there is a way to remove the ads and I have already done that but when I check plug in my Kindle, the RUNME.sh is the only one there. No screensavers folder and RUNME.done. When I jailbroke my kindle I have used the universal method and have copied the data.tar.gz, ENABLE_DIAGS and diagnostic_logs to the Kindle's USB drive's root. You mentioned that to be sure that I do NOT have an ENABLE_DIAGS file on my kindle. I have checked all the folders and there is none. But still this screen saver hack is not working for me. I have seen on this thread that pretober had been successful. Originally Posted by thomass Delete the existing RUNME.sh and RUNME.done Copy this RUNME.sh to your Kindle then restart. It works! chmod to rewrite, backup the ads folder, and then change to readonly. Nice work! Thank you so much, one more again! But what does he meant by this: chmod to rewrite, backup the ads folder, and then change to readonly. ? Please enlighten me. Thanks in advance. |

Hello guys, a german needs help from you with his kindle4
Hello guys,
I am from germany & my englisch is not as good as I wish but I try to keep the problem description easy & focused. Problem: -No more screensaver, standbymodus is completly white -Cant update to 4.1 I own a Kindle 4 non Touch, v.4.0.1. The kindle is screensaver hacked after this explanation that is very good (enable_diag, usbnet etc...) : http://blog.hastmeinwort.de/2012/03/...le-4-no-touch/ Everything worked great up to a whole year until yesterday. I wanted to put some more Screensaver pictures in the screensaver folder (about 70) & after I finished selecting the ones I wish to have I unplugged the kindle "to early", I mean before it gives you the "ok you can now disconect the usb cable" message. Now the standby modus is made completely out of white without any screensaver. What did I tried already?: - disabling the hack. -restarting the kindle. -removing really everything including the books via factory settings. -trying to update after "factory settings" to 4.1 without an idea why it doesnt worked. It shoes me the errorcode "U006 & another time U008" -putting in the screensaver folder an original .png file Here is my PuTTY Log until I cant go further because there is missing some files oder directorys: Quote:

*facepalm*
Assuming diags, mmcblk0p1 & the userstore are mounted: Code:
rm -rf /mnt/us/screensaver rm -rf /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600×800 mv /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600×800.alt /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600×800 Reboot, then refrain from installing something you don't actually understand. (Hint.). Last edited by NiLuJe; 10-30-2012 at 09:50 AM. |

Well, knowing what keys to press and in what order isn't exactly the same as knowing the commands they form and those command's effects on the system.
Knowing the effect on the system is vital to understanding how to revert what you did to it and also to knowing what the error messages mean when something goes wrong (as evidenced by your putty log). Last edited by knc1; 10-30-2012 at 09:48 AM. |

Yep, you are pretty right.
Then I suggest that I really need a point to point explanation. Could some of you help me regardless of my skills? Is this the Link I could need? https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...king#Jailbreak |

I succesfully got some folders in the root showing up (.active-content-data, diagnostic_logs,documents,screensaver,DONT_HALT_ON _REPAIR,Update_payload.bin,USBnet.xml) Now I put the screensavers again back into the now visible screensaver folder but the issue with the blank standbyscreen remains...
