Device: kindle read (keyboard)
It doesn't seem to work anymore...

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if this is still working as far as you know on kindle software 3.3 on a kindle 3/keyboard wifi.

I followed all of the steps below and it still didn't take:
1) install jailbreak
2) install usb networking (enabled, etc. on the device)
3) set up keys via putty
4) was able to log in via putty and WinSCP through wifi
5) note that I had to set it to read write mode though in order to do this, the default in WinSCP didn't let me write to the device w/o entering "mntroot rw" on the shell)
5) added the shortcut "S97local" to "/init.d/local" inside of "/etc/rc5.d"
6) added the text of "http://pastebin.com/pS83izMi" as file "/init.d/local" (i.e. where the above startup shortcut points to)

I rebooted and the flashing behavior didn't seem to change

through putty, I could log in and run various commands which definitely seem to change the behavior of the page turns ("echo 19 7 > /proc/eink_fb/update_display" & "echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eink_fb.0/override_upd_mode")

but the more elaborate script at pastebin doesn't seem to take -- is there something not allowing this to work in the latest kindle software version 3.3?

is it possible to downgrade back to 3.x (whatever is compatible with this) in order to achieve this desired flashing behavior?

thanks guys
