Assuming you have the Rescue Pack installed, use that.
Barring that, that'll be trickier. If your USBNet setup is sane, enable SSH at boot, and be very, very fast with a one-liner ready to fix it. Or, if the path you posted was a typo, and you modified a part of the framework that only applies to certain languages, do a hard factory reset. And in the future, test-drive your changes. (i.e. never reboot until you're sure it works, upstart is your friend). Last edited by NiLuJe; 05-28-2014 at 11:30 PM. |

If you don't have the RescuePack installed now, but decide to install it after this adventure ( ) - -
Then you may wish to **ALSO** install the Coward's RescuePack Add-On. That combination is intended for people who have a tendency to frequently brick their "main" mode. (Although it doesn't help much for those who hijack a thread for a different topic. JBpatch (this thread) is about modifying *.jar files **in memory** rather than on-disk.)

I just received my Kindle Paperwhite 2 (PW2) wifi only in Italy. Its serial number starts with 9017.
I really dislike the original margins so jailbroke the device, installed the usbnetwork hack then tried to install you "margins" hack. Unfotunately the "Update your Kindle" menu item remains grayed out, whatever I do. I imagine this is a new kindle that requires a different Update_xxx.bin. Indeed, to jailbreak it I had to use the latest update provided by NiLuJe. Any suggestion on how to proceed? |

It works perfectly.
Thanks a lot to NiLuJe for his quick reply and to ixtab and kaznelson for the hack. Now, any suggestion on how to patch other languages? That would be perfect since I like to keep my kindle in italian (the language I read most of my ebooks) |

@gianpaoloc: kaznelson posted the full instructions in a couple of messages (all of them in this thread, all of them after the release post, IIRC).

@gianpaoloc: The instructions: for margins and for fontsize change.
Instead of "*_en_GB.jar" you will need to do the edits for appropriate *_IT.jar files. |

You can mess one up and the other will still work. Keep that in mind before you start editing your one and only set of *_IT.jar files. |

A very big thank you for the font-sizes and margin hacks. And for the detailed documentation of variables and code to change a special - using your patch files I could get together my personal tweaks quite easily. Btw - I'm not into Java, don't even have a Java VM on my Windows rig; the program I used (Dirty Joe) is straightforward imho and does the necessary things stand-alone. |

@kaznelson I want to thank you again for your wonderful work. I can't even imagine using my kindle without your hacks. I am mostly grateful for the margins fix.

I followed your instructions from page 106 to try to set up smaller margins. I installed JBE and opened Margins/ReaderSDK-impl-en_GB.jar/ReaderResources_en_GB class then went to Methods -> [0] init -> [0] code but I don't see any 'Code' tab. Am I missing anything ? Thank you. |

Thank you for answering. For some reason, the Code tab didn't appear when I first tried it.
After unpacking the jar file and editing the ReaderResources_en_GB.class, when I'm trying to save, I get 'Error: Instruction requires an argument of type byte at line 786, instruction "bipush"' error. Any idea why is that ? |
