Hi there,
My wife's got
(as a gift) a new Kindle Touch SO
(arrived with 5.0.1 updated to 5.1.0), and she would like to enjoy own screensavers on it. It's an emotional thing and I agree with it.
I read a couple topics about jailbreak/screensaver hacks and co., but before I do for real, I would like to ask from you that please check my theory-steps.
Method:
0, Because I'm on a win7 64 bit, and the drivers works
(using geekmaster's custom .inf file) on 32 bit windows I'll do all the process in VMWorks
(usb attach).
1, Starting
MfGTool, and switch it to
fastboot mode, then hit start.
2, After Kindle is in Fastboot Mode, I'll
start fastboot for windows with these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash diags mmcblk0p2_ssh.img
fastboot setvar bootmode diags
fastboot reboot
3, The kindle now should have ssh, and should end in diags mode (after fastboot).
4, Select menu items:
N) U) Z) X). Waiting 20 seconds for dropbear to startup and in Putty I'll try to ssh into Kindle (
root@192.168.15.244, password: mario).
5, Try to relink the screensaver files with these commands
Code:
mntroot rw
mkdir /mnt/us/screensaver
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/base-mmc
mv /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600×800 /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600×800.old
ln -sfn /mnt/us/screensaver /mnt/base-mmc/opt/amazon/screen_saver/600×800
exit
6, Unplug Kindle.
Disable diag mode in specific menu and restart Kindle.
7, Replug Kindle via USB to PC. On the proper partition creating a folder called "screensaver". Put there all my
grayscale 600x800px png files.
8, Restart Kindle and enjoy custom screensavers
. ?
Are these steps are correct?
thanks in advance:
Mike
