right..
A bin file. as knc1 above has stated. is run by your kindle. you drop it on the root of the drive and choose SETTINGS -> UPDATE YOUR KINDLE Dont open the bin. If you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to look inside. Niluje provides the packing tools that made it. To be honest. You dont sound qualified to be poking around in there. Just run the intstaller in the way the README describes... Opening the bin file is NOT in the README or any set of instructions I ever saw. Like I said before, follow the instructions. step by step, let me know which step you get stuck on. 1) get file 2) unzip if required 3) stick bin on kindle 4) choose UPDATE YOUR KINDLE from the SETTINGS menu 5) read the relevant docs for any post install configs you may have to do. That is not THE readme... just a RULE OF THUMB one I made up right now. Hope it helps. Also. if you dont know where the docs are? or something? also let us know and maybe we can point you at them. Nilujes stuff always has nice README's or README-1st's. Give them a once over. I found them: READ BELOW: Spoiler:

Because you didn't install the screensaver hack. Sounds to me that you only installed python. Python is only needed in addition to the screensaver hack for some functionality. If you want all, then you need 2 (as in TWO) update_*_install.bin files. Just like it says in the README. Be happy there is no RTFM.txt in there.

Released Python v0.3.N, Fonts v5.7.N, SS v0.34.N, USBNetwork v0.47.N. Mostly updated binaries, and a few things from the latest K5 ScreenSavers hack backported.

Good evening. After upgrading my DX from usb 0.46 to 0.47 my kindle stuck at booting screen (upgrade successful and then reboot). I've tried pressing power 30 seconds and now the screen is completely white. Any help? I'm afraid I've bricked my kindle :-(
PD: I can access the kindle connecting it to the Pc or via usbnetwork. Any idea what can I do? PD2: ok, via usbnetwork I did a "reboot" and everything seems to work now. I'll try everything to make sure :-) Last edited by anonimo200; 01-20-2013 at 10:46 AM. |

@anonimo200: Is this a FW 3.x-on-DX device? At which point of the boot process did you hit a blank screen? What's installed on your device, besides usbnet?
