Now we have the same problem with date and time which strated from 1970 !
First step to correct it that installing the USBNetwork hack to get the shell access to Kindle OS which based on Linux.
After you get Telnet/SSH shell you can do the following steps:
Use the following syntax for date command:
Where MM=Month, DD=Day, HH=Hour, MM=Minute, and YY=Year.
[You can add .SS at last for seconds]
Example for date: 30-12-2011 - time: 5:15 PM ..
You must type it like this: 12 30 17 15 2010 (without spaces)
To permanently store the system clock in the hardware clock just type the following command:
or:
hwclock --systohc
It sets the Hardware Clock to the current System Time.
PS. Hardware Clock is often called the Real Time Clock, RTC, or CMOS clock.
Here is the result by
date command:
Code:
[root@kindle root]# date
Wed Nov 30 17:15 UTC 2011
