Thanks I'm dumb.

I have a Kindle PW2 (B0D4). Firmware is 5.4.3, the newest in Germany.

My question: does this hack also work with the german version of the device?

Thanks in forward

@more, Take a look here: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers
You shouldn't have any problems.

Should i use the "Update_jailbreak_bridge_1.9.N_install.bin" to update my jailbreak before going from 5.4.2.1 to 5.4.3 on a PW2?

NiLuJe · 03-11-2014, 08:47 PM

@Fewns: On a PW2, that's not mandatory. On the other hand, it can't really hurt either.

Fewns · 03-12-2014, 03:59 AM

Thanks. Updated the JB, installed 5.4.3.. everything working (fonts, ss, kual)(had to reapply as expected)

filmgirl · 03-12-2014, 01:21 PM

Just wanted to pop in and give thanks. Finally jailbroke my PW2 and the process, as usual, was a snap. You guys are the best.

This is a known problem with Internet Explorer. Possible solutions I have heard are:

Use a different browser.
View MobileRead.com in compatibility mode.
Rename the file to what you expect it to be.

It IS the correct folder, but it seems Internet Explorer specifically, doesn't like the way MobileRead communicates the filename it should be saved as.

thanks eschwartz, have to try that tomorrow.

Newbie problem: Thanks all the great posts and help - almost there just a (hopefully small) glitch: kindle pw2: 5.4.2.1 firmware:

SSH password not working (3 defaults are mario fionaxxx and fionaxxxx don't work)

Steps:
have jailbroken kindle pw2 and successfully installed USBnet & KUAL, kindlets etc work including kterm. However kindle came already registered as a present... I have not intentionally changed the password but i idid mistakenly enter ";un password" once into the search bar.

My current problem is I can't get any of the 3 default passwords to work nor does the framework mario combo work when using usbnet: I get welcome to kindle and password prompt: I am using linux.

As I had kterm working I tried changing root passwd: no go as readonly, then copied both shadow and passwd to extensions folder (used cp not cat) and tried to use john the ripper on them - no hash detected error...

Any help would be great!!!

One other problem: after installing duokan 2014 (which does install / run on kpw - although there is not much head room on a partition (installs 50 MB into a partition with 57 MB free?). I can no longer install updates (kindle update button remains grey after I install an update*.bin file into the user directory... (I tried restarting kindle but note it now boots into duokan by default)

dsmid · 03-13-2014, 08:49 AM

Just get the root console somehow (kterm, USBNet via USB), then:

Code:

# mntroot rw
# passwd

Is there an epidemic of people not reading the doc? That's, like, the fourth exact same question in 12 hours.

So, once and for all: Read the doc (and the actual one inside the USBNet package, please, unless you like being confused), and start with the default config over USB, you don't need no stinking password that way. >_<".

There, I feel better.
