PW3 PW3,fw 5.10.3 serial jailbreaking help

[LivingOn]

Hello everyone
I have a pw3 32 fw5.10.3. And according to what I have read https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=267541,I have reached the stage of installing the "main-htmlviewer.tar.gz" , but the latest version of the jailbreak plug-in obviously cannot be installed according to the method in the previous post. How to install the jailbreak plug-in, what are the specific steps, and who can help me?

As far as I'm aware, the jailbreak process pretty much just copies the file: pubdevkey01.pem into the directory /etc/uks/ with the requisite permissions.

If you have main-htmlviewer.tar.gz from the Factory JB package on the usb root perhaps the following might work.

tar xvf /mnt/us/main-htmlviewer.tar.gz

Actually that is wrong.
the ;installHTML search bar command expects a compressed archive (*.tar.gz)
So just move the compressed archive to the visible root of USB storage.
And use the search bar command to install the contents.
Note: Only the "factory_*.bin" images have a working ;installHTML search bar command.

I may have the case wrong on the above command, but I am sure anyone can figure out what command I am writing about.

If on MacOS or Windoze OS - be careful that the OS has not helpfully converted the "tar bomb" (which is correct) into a "safe archive" which will not work.

OP has a PW3 on 5.10.3 and is doing a serial jailbreak (last factory fw available thus far is 5.9.6.1). From his post, it seems like he already has shell access but further instructions from the serial jailbreak thread are geared towards older devices/firmware.

;installHtml just runs /usr/local/bin/InstallHtmlViewer.sh and this is pretty much what that script contains.

cp htmlviewer.install /mnt/us/

restart appmgrd
restart x
restart framework

The mntroot rw bit *is* kind of important, though .

Yup, that is how a tar bomb is installed.
But
if you can run the tar command, why not just run the mv command and move the certificate to the correct place?

I didn't know if there were permissions from the tar bomb that needed to be kept. I'm quite unfamiliar with *nix.

Thank you for the correction. I was just throwing out an idea based on how I understand the factory jailbreak to work. I'm guessing OP would need at least these two lines?

mntroot rw
tar xvf /mnt/us/main-htmlviewer.tar.gz

I'm unfamiliar with serial jailbreak. Would /mnt/us/ already be mounted automatically or does he need to mount that manually as well?

If the USB cable is disconnected, it is both mounted and usable.


If the user storage area is exported over USB (storage accessible), then it is mounted but can not be used internally (what the serial port command line is).
