Hi again,

Sorry for the stupid previous post
I just had to read more carefully and I should have seen from the start that "*U006* error, in the bottom left corner of the screen"
Problem self-solved!
Everything went smooth from here on.

Thanks!

Thank you for making this hack, it's working great on the Kindle DX that I’m repurposing as a digital picture frame.

I love the way you built a randomize preference based on the empty file "random". I'd like to see similar preferences for slideshow sleep time and slide delay. Perhaps a pair of files called sleep-xx (where xx is number-of-seconds of inactivity before slideshow starts, i.e. "sleep-15" for 15 seconds), and delay-xx (where slides change every xx seconds, i.e. "delay-5")

A slideshow is out of question, since the device is, well, asleep . The image shown on screen won't ever change for the duration of that sleep cycle.

If you *need* a slideshow, you'd be better off writing a quick'n dirty script based on eips that you simply run through KUAL.

hm, good point

A couple times the screen has just gone blank white. I saw this note in the readme, how is "lowmem" enabled?

> With the ScreenSavers hack, especially on DX & DXG devices, if the cover processing seems to take an inordinate amount of time (>45s), or even triggers a framework restart, try to go back to the Home screen for a while after opening a new book, and/or consider enabling the *lowmem* mode.

@Eric_WVGG: IIRC, that "lowmem" switch only applied to the cover mode processing. And I'm not even sure it's still supported, since the root issue has since been fixed .

IIRC, the "blank screen" issue happens when the framework hits an image it doesn't like.

Exclamation U007 Error

Dear Devs,

I have read this forum carefully, but unfortunately none of the suggested fixes worked for me. I have a Kindle 3 WiFi on Firmware 3.3 from UK and here is what happened:


1. Applied Jailbreak successfully a long time ago together with screensaver and font hacks. I was able to run custom code, so everything seemed alright to me.

2. Got the message from Amazon that they would cut me off from their service if I did not update to 3.4.1; update did not work automatically nor manually (U007 error).

3. Contacted Amazon Support and did a Factory Reset, which was a bad call that I still hate myself for Now I'm stuck with a vanilla, though I think a part of the jailbreak must still be there somehow, from what I saw in the logfile.

4. I want to have my jailbroken Kindle back so bad, but no matter what I try (uninstall Jailbreak, install Jailbreak, recover linkjail directory), I always end up with error U007. I always do a hard reboot between each try, but nothing seems to


I have my log file attached log file, maybe there is something in it to point into the right direction.

a lot in advance for your help!

Sounds familar.

Did you try removing the original JB with its own, dedicated, un-installer?
I.E: You may not have installed THIS jailbreak (in the K3 days - there was more than one).

Thanks for the quick reply! In the old days I used an earlier version of the JB from this thread, I think it was v0.11 if I remember correctly. From the documentation I expected JB Uninstaller v0.13.N to work, but it just gives me the same U007 error. Is my jailbreak damaged or is it something else? Right now, every package fails with U007, no matter what it is (hacks but also original Amazon firmware).

Maybe someone more skilled than me can find something in the log file? Thanks again to all of you for still supporting this awesome project after such a long time!

@TaReNT75: Factory reset broke the JB. Restore the linkjail folder from either a backup, or, better, the current snapshot package. It needs to be in the USB root.

Then restart your device and try again.

Thank you, NiLuJe! I have to admit that I do not really remember how I exactly I jailbroke it all these years ago. The folder is in place like you advised, but still no luck: The reason according to log file is definitely the signature verification like you already told other users with this error...

160619:110059 system: I S50updater:def:read bundle line [/mnt/us/Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k3w_install.bin]
160619:110059 system: I S50updater:def:Applying update /mnt/us/Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k3w_install.bin

160619:110100 system: E _otaupexec:def:signature verification failed



Now here is something from the log file that makes me question my mental sanity:

160619:112051 system: I K07linkfonts:def:couldn't stop linkfonts
160619:112051 system: I K08linkss:def:couldn't stop linkss

160619:112051 system: I linkjail:def:'Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_k3w_uninstal l.bin' was packaged by kindletool, requesting custom key
160619:112051 system: W linkjail:def:'Update_ss_0.47.N_k2_dx_k3_install.bi n' is not an OTA V1 package, don't do anything
160619:112051 system: I linkjail:def:custom key requested
160619:112051 system: I linkjail:def:mounting custom key

160619:112052 system: W K09usbnet:def:the /test/bin directory was missing, creating it...
160619:112052 system: W K09usbnet:def:the usbNetwork private command symlink was missing, creating it...
160619:112052 system: I K09usbnet:def:couldn't stop usbnet


Does this point to another jailbreak or is that something you would see from your experience?

Thanks again for the quick help!

The JB install failure in your first example is expected, that's a safety feature to avoid stacking potentially incompatible jailbreaks.

The second example just shows the JB working once you restored the linkjail folder.
