Hello guys, I have a Kindle 3 Wifi with FW 3.3 installed.
I messed around a lot in my terminal, installing new hacks etc. but now recently, my Kindle was not able to connect to wi-fi. I did a Reset to Factory defaults hoping that would solve the problem, but it didn't work.
Everytime, I try connecting to a wi-fi network. It says "Local network connection failed."
I have restarted router, and even resetted it, disabled all security options (so that my password couldnt be wrong).
I have messed around a bit in the /opt directory and BTW, to try to update Busybox, I copied all files in /opt/bin to /bin. (I updated Busybox in /opt/bin using optware) My terminal works fine most of the time except when it says eg.
#login
login: applet not found
For a lot of commands it's like this.
Please HELP me...
Also could somebody point me to a link containing all the /opt and /bin directories????
PLEASE HELP, My K3 is close to being bricked, since I can' run that many cmmands...
