So how could you run a binary downgrade if we packaged it? You need the certificate to run it. But if you had the certificate, you wouldn't need the downgrade. So follow these directions to manually install the certificate: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=203971 You might even mention what your native language is, so people who know it could help you either by PM or on the chat channel. |

Why I see "Kindlet jailbreak is not installed"? I run any other "dev" kindlets (including my own) without any problem.

Because the Kindlet jailbreak is not installed (duh!)
Try Runtime.getRuntime().exec(...) in your own dev kindlet to understand what the Kindlet jailbreak is all about. |

It works. I can run shell scripts from kindlet and get output from them. CR3runner also works OK. And I know for sure that I have jailbroken my kindle year ago.

Weird. So you probably fiddled with the permissions manually.... Anyway, install the kindlet jailbreak. :-)

^ This. What Ixtab Said
Both parts are REQUIRED. (Yes it is possible to amend the values manually, this is not supported) EDIT: So I read the complete CR3runner source code. Quote:
So... I suspect cr3runner as the culprit, the point of "permissions altering"... but no actual proof yet. will keep digging. EDIT 2: Hmm... http://code.google.com/p/cr3runner/s...areKindle.wiki (I also fond this info elsewhere which I quote here Quote:
Then that would be why that works. However this is no replacement for simply installing the correct prerequisites from the top post. Thanks Last edited by twobob; 01-30-2013 at 08:07 AM. |

Exactly. The Kindlet jailbreak is all about NOT having to edit random system files....
@twobob, concerning DX(G) devices: feel free to unpack/repack the update.bins for the DXG. It's only a matter of providing the correct "-d" flag(s) to kindletool. But as said, I don't know whether they will work. |

Would having your eyes on that briefly make you more certain? I could just diff it against a 3 one I guess? Anyways. if you fancy an eyeball on that to be 100% I can happily provide. My only concern is that DX's are SUCH a PITA to recover... It makes me worried. |

The json-simple library is Apache licensed*, and Amazon uses the unmodified original source code... (At least on all devices I've seen so far, i.e. K3-KPW). In other words, there is only an infinitely small chance for the "augmented" file breaking a DX.
(*)Which is also the reason why the uninstaller can simply include the "original" jar, and one of the reasons why the jailbreak ended up being implemented there. |

Oh okay. I figured it was probably an unobfuscated file as we were considering it "good to use".
Well. for the sake of completeness then... Perhaps a single pre-requisties "rollup" file containing all the pre-requisite installers from the DX --> PW served from either ge.tt or MR would probably be easier for people to "understand". Just bundling the current stuff renamed using identical naming conventions in one file. What's your thoughts on that? I just want to KIS. |

The files being a bit scattered around is simply because they have already been required for other Touch SW, but not for older devices. Just keep in mind that you may need to update (mostly) the PW files as we learn about new serial numbers. |

Righto. I have never actually used Kindletool to pack anything - only the inverse.
Would hate to make a mistake. Will do some reading up then. Perhaps publishing a "howto" pack future updates guide to Kindletool might not be such a bad idea. Just in case we both get run over on the same day |

Going to need some very brave volunteers I think though... I will do more reading about packaging and look to create packages for that lot. If there are any obvious GOTCHA!'s now would be a great time for someone to speak up. Thanks Last edited by twobob; 01-30-2013 at 10:04 AM. |

Gotchas: use the newest version of Kindletool, as it also supports the canadian 3g paperwhite; and: use the -C option of kindletool. Check JBPatch dist.sh for samples
