And yes, for the wifi interface, you can use server-assigned IP addresses, and look in your wireless router to find the IP address of your kindle and/or your host PC. They should automatically be on the same subnet (192.168.0.x in your case). If you are having wifi connection problems, it could be firewall / iptables related...

That picture looks spot on the me.
Exactly what I did. then mirrored this in the kindle. Yeah the wifi stuff is a bit easier imho - one you have it setup - you just have to have the iptables stuff in place either way |

Your router may be optioned to dis-allow wifi-to-wifi connections. Also, your router will have an address, don't stumble onto that one, you can't duplicate the usage of an address, the addresses must be unique. Web-search: "Linux home networking" (even if your "large" computer isn't Linux, your kindle is and networking is networking). Decades of documentation and HowTos out there on this subject.

Yeah, "AP Isolation Mode" has bitten me more than once. I turn it off on my routers. I want my wired and wireless clients to see each other. And even then, there is "fun" to be had with windows firewalls and such (or stupid antivirus "security suites" that also "protect" you from your own network).

@geekmaster, I changed the host IP Address to 192.168.15.201, connected via ssh root@192.168.15.244 to the Kindle, started "nc -l 31337|dd of=mmcblk0p1.bin" on the host PC and "dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1|nc 192.168.15.201 31337" on the Kindle -- It still doesn't work which kind of confuses me. (This is not the Wireless connection, it's the USB/NDIS connection when the kindle is booted with the ssh diagnostics partition [rescue pack]). Maybe the fault lies with me for using Windows 7/Cygwin instead of a "real" GNU/Linux distribution.
I will try the WLAN stuff later today, thank you for your help yet again. |

One thing puzzles me.
If the "USB downloader" mode is so low level and neither system partition, kernel nor uboot dependent, how comes update 5.3 is able to disable it ? I suppose the update does little bit more than just reflashing the root partition, kernel and uboot. What is it ? Is it possible to find that in the update script ? |

Pretty sure that the 5.3.0 just disabled the attack vector for the jailbreak. How to boot into these modes with the Paperwhite is simply not known yet because the magic key is unknown. I might be wrong, but that's what I understood.

No magic key is needed on vanilla 5.2 device. When the same piece of HW upgrades to 5.3, the door is closed ...
The question is: how do they close the door ? Last edited by dsmid; 11-23-2012 at 05:35 AM. |

So you are able to enter the USB Downloader mode with the Kindle Paperwhite 5.2.0? Because I read everywhere that that is currently impossible, and that's why installing the rescue pack is such a good idea.

dsmid just confuses himself and anybody who doesn't understand yet distinction between jailbreak vector ("errors" in stock firmware used to place developer key at main parition, which is strictly unavailable to customer/user by default) and USB downloader mode. |

The PW does not have a "magic key", so you cannot enter USB Downloader mode unless another way is found.
5.2.0 had ways to install a jailbreak, so you could get root access and make any changes you want. 5.3.0 is locked down, and the currently known way to unlock it is using the serial port, which requires opening the PW and soldering to the circuit board. The search for an easier way to unlock / root / jailbreak a PW is in progress (until a new jailbreak method is found, or everybody loses interest and moves on to other more open and developer-friendly devices). |

@NiLuJe and all the others: Thank you for your work, I can happily report that I jailbreaked my new KPW yesterday and then updated it to 5.3.0, keeping the jailbreak. Installing and using USB networking was simple and I've also made a backup. Since I put the 5.3.0 update on the document partition before going to do my backup, I wasn't able to backup 5.2.0 (which was shipped) - it went into automatic update installation without me triggering it manually.
You can probably all imagine how happy my day was when I noticed that my new KPW (shipped in Germany starting this week) came with 5.2.0. And it really tries hard to get Wifi access first thing when you start it, you really have to open the Wifi AP list and close it again to see the "skip and do later" link. I'd probably had gotten 5.3.0 if I wasn't warned and being extra careful. |

I'm sorry for the confusion.
I was assuming that USB downloader mode can be activated on vanilla 5.2 without jailbreak. That, according to eureka's post, doesn't seem to be true. |

Perhaps some of them are not used by their vendors as market research tools and are not locked down, preventing the owners from opting out of the market research if they desire. |

For some reason the root password generated by Amazon Kindle root password tool and by kindletool when connected over USBNet are not correct when trying to connect to the OpenSSH instance with enabled WiFi. Any ideas what's wrong? (Note: I did not flash another partition or change the default password, the one I usually use in network diagnostics mode is simply mario).
