There is an uninstall*.bin in the ZIP you downloaded.
Did you try restarting the Kindle? This hack requires restarting when you change various options. What screensaver did you get instead? The default? (In which case it isn't working.) Or a blank Screensavers Hack Has Been Installed one? |

What @escwartz said.
I'd add that uninstalling/reinstallign won't do anything, the uninstall/install process doesn't touch the settings or the user's data. If you backed yourself in a corner somehow, and a reboot doesn't help, there's a 'reset to default settings' button in the KUAL extension. Last edited by NiLuJe; 10-29-2014 at 03:16 PM. |

@eschwartz: True. I did *once* have an install simply disappear into the ether on me so, hey, who knows ;D.

And here comes Python 0.11.N & ScreenSavers 0.18.N, mostly w/ update binaries and support for the 4GB PW2.

Release ScreenSavers v0.19.N.
It fixes a very old and stupid bug (present since the start of the K5 version), which ended up making us generate covers in a slightly wrong resolution on the PW/PW2... *sigh*. |

... And a quick hotfix, ScreenSavers v0.20.N.
I forgot a minor detail in the upgrade code path of the install script... If you updated to 0.19.N, remove the linkss/screensavers/00_you_can_delete_me-kv.png file and update the hack! Oops. |

I updated the pw2 to the new software 5.6.1 and i can't install the screensaver hack anymore. The .bin file is deleted automatically after ejecting the device. Any ideas?

Which one are you talking about here? - - - - So try not ejecting the device - just do a restart using the power button (same as described for the "downgrade attack"). Don't expect any better results - we expect all 5.6.x series firmware to have this sort of protections included. including the killing of our active document hacks (no KUAL, no CM, ...) . - - - - Also, for our records of Lab126 challenges - what are the first four characters of your device's serial number? - - - - @NiLuJe: Just checked, and Amazon lists 5.6.1 as current for all three of the 2014 i.MX6 devices. That: "edit first post when the time comes" - The time has come. - - - - Guess I had better get back to work on that built-in serial port adapter / remote controller board this weekend.

@knc1: *insert muffled scream of rage here*
-_-". ---- I'm completely dead on my feet, so this'll probably have to wait for tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up, though . ---- EDIT: I'm not seeing any entries for the KV & KT2 on the Software Update page? Last edited by NiLuJe; 11-13-2014 at 06:10 PM. |

Will check again tomorrow, maybe it was just a mis-released page. (They might have accidentally released all three pages, rather than just the one.) ps: check your PM bin. Last edited by knc1; 11-13-2014 at 06:27 PM. |

Ah, my mistake - Only KT2 and PW2 - not KV (yet).
they are up now - KV:: http://s3.amazonaws.com/G7G_Firmware...yage_5.6.1.bin PW2:: http://s3.amazonaws.com/G7G_Firmware...e_v2_5.6.1.bin KT2:: http://s3.amazonaws.com/G7G_Firmware...ndle_5.6.1.bin And I just saved copies, to make sure I am not having a nightmare.

@knc1: Funnily enough, I can see the KT2 one only on Amazon FR, not Amazon US ;p.
On the other hand, I have to resort to Google to even *get* to the US Kindle Software Update page . Time to go to bed, I think ^^. But it is indeed the exact same build, for once. EDIT: Out for the KV too. Unified Wario firmwares, hurray! EDIT²: Well, unified in the sense that they happened to have the same build number. Not so much unified in the sense that they actually are completely identical in content... Last edited by NiLuJe; 11-14-2014 at 12:21 PM. |
