I have been unable to find out if there is a way to get the kindle with screensavers back to the appropriate "pure" state so as to apply the 4.1 update. I tried using the runme file from earlier in this thread but I only used it after I had returned to factory default so alas it did not work. Any tips? Is there any other info you would need?
The blank, white screen means the system could not find any screensaver to show.

But the original ones ***should*** still be present under a name which the "reset to factory defaults" function does not know about.

For reference, see this post before trying the following:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...89&postcount=9

That post links to a different video, but one that leaves the same problem.

Once you follow the video up to the point of entering the commands,
Turn on the "capture file" feature in putty if it has one; then
enter these instead:
mntroot rw
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/mmc-base
ls -l /mnt/base-mmc/amazon/screen_saver/*

Then post here the listing shown by the third command.
If you us a "capture file" then just save it and use an editor on it;
otherwise just cut&paste out of the putty screen the result.

This request is because we can't look over your shoulder, but once we can see what the current state is, we can fix it.
