Each K3 has Amazon 3.0.3 OS with Jailbreak for 3.0.3 which is 0.4.N and screensavers 0.15.N – nothing else installed.

Before I get a panic call form dear old “mum” if 3.1 gets pushed to her Kindle over top of that Jailbreak and SS the two questions are:

1. Will her SS hack mentioned still be working (will the pics I installed still be there? Or will she have a blank screen or the original dead authors?), and

2. When I DO visit her and I can hook up to my laptop can I install this new jailbreak and use it to uninstall the older JB (0.4.N) and SS's and possibly (by then) update to newer JB and SS's??

Or in very simple terms will the Amazon 3.1 on top of the old JB and SS work and at some point I can undo the older JB and SS’s?

Thanks Much

Yikes!

From what I have read.... if the hacks are installed and 3.1 comes along, the hacks for screensaver (I don't know fonts) appear to continue to work. She will not wind up with a blank screen.

And it appears that the new jailbreak will allow you to UNinstall the screensaver hack (remove 1st) and then the old jailbreak (remove 2nd). Then you can reinstall the screensaver hack (old jailbreak NOT necessary).

But don't hold me to it.

_I_ removed the hack and jailbreak prior to 3.1 I never did remove the folders that were created and left my photos and those folders alone. When I installed the new jailbreak and ss hack, my photos showed up again without any additional effort on my part.
