Questions because I AM confused after installing your .4 JB:

1. How can I tell WHICH version of your JB (if any) is ACTUALY installed? What can I look at, or drill down to using USB connection, to confirm?

2. Now with no need for a “ENABLE_HACKS_UPDATES” file in the root - I am unclear HOW this will prevent an Amazon firmware update (or turn it back on so Amazon firmware update can occur). What is I have to do or undo?

Background:
Had old JB (NiLuJe JB 0.4 for Kindle OS 3.0.3.) and SS (.15n) installed and along came Kindle OS 3.1 before I could uninstall JB and SS. But apparently no issues as I mentioned in a previous post – Screen savers still there and seems to work fine.

Because I am preparing for the day I update (if I do ) my mother’s Kindle with Yifan Lu’s JB so I can control if/when an Amazon firmware is pushed/installed before I can get to her Kindle to do whatever I need to (like uninstall a JB) I wanted to see what happened on my Kindle when I installed Yifan Lu’s new JB> By the way it is unfortunate that each of you are calling you hack’s “Jailbreak.” I am sure novices and casual PC/Mac users might get a little confused maybe they should have unique Jailbreak names like JB-Y (for Yifan Lu’s ) and JB-N (for NiLuJe’s) or some other naming convention.

In any case, I installed Yifans newer JB (.3) then installed .4 over that and each SEEMED to install fine (no errors, said it installed, and my Kindle did a restart and the .bin file disappeared from the USB root directory) and my Kindle is working and MY screen savers are still there and working.

Thanks
