Thanks must go to all of those who helped in the rooting of the Kindle.

You still need to have a basic understanding of Unix file systems and
commands.

I have attached two text files:

(1) Kindle Root Access via USB Networking.rtf
(2) Kindle Custom Screensavers via USB Networking.rtf

i did the screensaver tutorial, worked like a charm

did a little bash script that you could add into the tutorial


#!/bin/bash
mntroot rw
cd /mnt/us
mkdir /mnt/us/screensaver
mount /dev/mmcb1k0p1 /mnt/base-mmc
mv /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800 /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800.old
ln -sfn /mnt/us/screensaver /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800
echo finished
