Anyone knows a command to turn off kindle wireless? It's probelty a lipc command.

NVM, found it:

"lipc-get-prop com.lab126.wan powerState" shows the power status
0 = off
1 = on
3 = powering on
4 = powering off
(there might be more, but those are the ones I saw)
"lipc-set-prop com.lab126.wan startWan 1" starts wireless
"lipc-set-prop com.lab126.wan stopWan 1" stops wireless

Code:
if [ `lipc-get-prop com.lab126.wan powerState` -ne 1 ]; then
        lipc-set-prop com.lab126.wan startWan 1
else
        lipc-set-prop com.lab126.wan stopWan 1
fi
This is a short script to stop/start the wan depending if it was on or off when you ran it. The only weird thing is that the status bar/framework doesn't update to the wan status. There should be another lipc command to do so.

Cool, but why would you want to do this when you could just set a hotkey string

Open Menu, Up on Five Way, Press Five Way

Plus, that'll take care of the top bar.

That won't work on all areas, would it?

Well, I guess not in active content.. but it would work in books, the home page, the browser, and many other pages. If you want to make it work on all things:

Home -> Menu -> FW Up -> FW Click -> Back

That'd be a foolproof way if you want it to work on everything. It'd just be slower.

I keep getting an Error 3 - I have a K3 3G (UK [B00A]) and so am putting update_launchpad_0.0.1a_k3gb_install.bin in the root of my Kindle and reseting. Is this right?

Jailbroken ages ago so no issue there

are you sure you're clicking the right menu entry? Some sources report
that clicking "reboot" instead of "update" can cause this behavior.

I seem to be missing something. I can't seem to get it to install in my new Kindle 3 (ver 3.0.2 (553210206)). Here's what I tried:

Downloaded lpad-pkg.tar.gz and launchpad.tar.gz to my Debian Linux box.

opened lpad-pkg.tar.gz and copied lpad-pkg/update_launchpad_0.0.1a_k3w_install.bin to the root of the kindle ( on my machine it's /media/kindle/ )

On the Kindle, I go to home->menu->settings->menu->update your kindle, select it, select OK and the update progress bar proceeds to about 15 - 20% and then "update failed" and it reboots.

Am I supposed to do something with launchpad.tar.gz as well?

What am I missing?

On the K3 (not sure about previous models), you can avoid opening the Sym menu and instead use Alt-Q=1, Alt-W=2. If you would implement that, it would make typing in numbers a lot faster =)

thanks for your great work

sorry for my silly question, where should I unzip lpad-pkg-xxx.zip, somewhere means any place in kindle directory?


- unpack the attached lpad-pkg-xxx.zip archive somewhere
- select the Kindle update package for your device model and copy it to your device under user root directory [/mnt/us]
- apply the standard Amazon Kindle update procedure
