I wonder if the obvious reason for this is that Wifi versions are less locked down than 3G?

Cheers,

But, it seems porkupan's kindle3 is a WiFi version, and he can't do ~exec.

ecostin's is 3G. Just tried on the same version - don't work. A plausible explanation may be that as part of the initialization and initial registration process in-house the test files are normally deleted. In this case the test files failed to be removed for some reason and stayed in the unit (perhaps the tester forgot to execute a cleanup command). And it so happened that the owner of this unit actually knew what to do with his treasure, which would have been quite unlikely.

But the OP's serial number (B006) implies that his is a Wifi+3G version. I would compare his firmware revision with ones that are confirmed NOT working.

I have tested the ;debugOn/~exec sequence on the same model (B006) with the same FW level. Doesn't work.

I have both a WiFi (B008) and WiFi+3G (B006) models to test with. The command are accepted, but no on-screen output is produced.

Actually, I suspect that if ecostin tries to do a factory reset to his Kindle (Settings->Reset your Kindle), his magic powers will likely disappear as well.

Mine definitely doesn't run exec's then, it's definitely in debug mode as I can ~help etc, however doing any exec command just refreshes the screen with no output shown, so for instance I can't execute the "uname -a" to determine if my Linux matches (which it presumably doesn't).

I wonder if the lab in in your linux relates to a lab build rather than general release. You don't happen to be one of the people amazon approached to be an early tester of the new "no freezing" firmware?

ecostin,

Before you attempt to do any factory reset, would you be able to archive the contents of the /test directory off your K3? I am sure many people would like to take a look at that.

How on earth do you get ;debugOn to work ?
Please help out a newbie.
Thanx

On the home screen, press any keyboard key so the search box comes up. Delete the letter you pressed, then hit "sym" and pick the ";" symbol, type debugOn, press enter.

So your search box will contain the command ";debugOn" the same goes for how to enter any of the other command discussed here, although it is likely you will be in the same boat that all of us except ecostin seem to be in, where we can't actually have fun

That is interesting, I have sn B006A and sw 515460094 and after ;debugOn the ~help works, but ~exec ls does nothing. What else could be different?

If so, it would probably be extremely handy if a new, friendly beta tester could manage to 'trap' that .bin package before it installs and make it available.

I have a B008A (firmware 515460094)
~help works but not exec.
on mine ~memInfo and ~changeLocale give result too..

but I can't figure how to get result with ~exec

I also tried things from this page : http://igorsk.blogspot.com/
like :
;dumpMessages

which works, and dump current debug log into the "documents" directory (I will read the dumpMessages more carefully)

I tried ~terminal too.. but the kindle reboot after that

by the way a shortcut for ~help is ~h

(something unrelated.. alt-shift . display some barcode of the kindle)..

I am not sure this is relevant, someone at the Dark Reverser's site has said that his(or her) kindle has been always 3.0, but seems like utilizing a defferent DRM scheme after 9/3.

Maybe something has happened OTA without changing firmware level number?
Secretly deleting /test directory perhaps?

ecostin can you provide the log after the command exec ls in you debug :

(

;debugOn
~exec ls
;dumpMessages

then search for command=exec
and copy and paste here the followings lines..)

personaly on my kindle, I get :

Code:
 cvm[10639]: I Search:SHORTCUT:command=~exec:
  104613 100908:161316 cvm[10639]: I HistoryManagerImpl:History cursor updated:action=set,oldCursorIndex=22,newCursorIndex=21:
  104614 100908:161316 cvm[10639]: P BookletManager:PerfDump:id=Starting_Search,time=29,type=relative,abs-time=1283962396402,start-time=1283962396373:
  104615 100908:161316 cvm[10639]: D SystemBarImpl:DebugInfo::KwSystemBar: stopLongActivity called
  104616 100908:161316 cvm[10639]: D SystemBarImpl:DebugInfo::KwSystemBar: stopSpinner called

and for comparaison with a command that sucess as memInfo :


Code:
 I Search:SHORTCUT:command=~memInfo:
100908:161304 cvm[10639]: E Search:EXCEPTION::1: total memory: 20971520
for ~help :

Code:
 I Search:SHORTCUT:command=~help:
100908:145959 cvm[3325]: D HistoryManagerImpl:DebugInfo::HistoryManagerImpl.pop calling listener Home booklet with booklet://Home?HomeView:::0:::1:::
100908:145959 cvm[3325]: I HistoryManagerImpl:History cursor updated:action=set,oldCursorIndex=14,newCursorIndex=13:
100908:145959 cvm[3325]: P BookletManager:PerfDump:id=Starting_Search,time=57,type=relative,abs-time=1283957999161,start-time=1283957999104:
100908:145959 cvm[3325]: D SystemBarImpl:DebugInfo::KwSystemBar: stopLongActivity called
100908:145959 cvm[3325]: D SystemBarImpl:DebugInfo::KwSystemBar: stopSpinner called
100908:145959 cvm[3325]: W SystemBarImpl:SPIN:spinCount=0:count <=0 when stopSpinner() called
100908:145959 cvm[3325]: D UIManagerImpl:DebugInfo::UIManagerImpl.generateLCDEvent

hmm it seems that help provide nothing in log.. so maybee it's normal that ~exec do the same..

but just to compare with your's.. if possible

some more information for ~usbNetwork.. it do something like the log says :

Code:
100908:163309 cvm[10639]: I Search:SHORTCUT:command=~usbNetwork:
100908:163309 cvm[10639]: D DeviceService:DebugInfo::RuntimeExec sync = true : command = /usr/sbin/usbnetwork
don't now what /usr/sbin/usbnetwork do.. but ~usbNetwork run it
