That's... bad. But nicely explains why it's utterly broken .

Basically, you need to restore the default /etc/uks folder.

I know exactly what happened.

As mentioned in the beginning, I read this article. Somewhere at the end Liraz mentioned a way to prevent Amazon to autoupdate the Kindle software by moving/renaming /etc/uks to /etc/uks.disabled. I thought an autoupdate might mess with the jailbreak that I just installed and decided to do just that. Rereading his article it seems he was merely paranoid about Amazon misusing its power.

After I discovered that my jailbreak disabled my 3G connectivity I uninstalled the jailbreak - or so I thought. This whole thread shows me that my initial uninstallation of the jailbreak apparently failed but somehow restored my 3G. It failed because I never renamed the /etc/uks.disabled folder back to /etc/uks.

I don't have an explanation why my 3G worked again but I think I would've fixed this whole issue a long time ago if it hadn't worked.

With this I was finally able to install 3.4 and the uninstallation of both the USBNetwork hack and the jailbreak itself succeeded.

Thank you krzyk, Helgetus, dwig and NiLuJe, for taking your time for my issue and solving my problem. The next time I try to jailbreak something I will take more time to read everything very carefully and if I then decide that I want to undo the jailbreak I will take twice the time to read everything very carefully.

Liraz patched Luigi's kiterm to make it work in full screen.

INSTALL A NATIVE TERMINAL (KITERM)

Luigi Rizzo wrote a standalone Kindle terminal you can use from within the device. I used a slightly patched version that works full screen.

It hasn't been packaged into a Kindle *.bin file yet but installation was relatively straightforward thanks to a nice tutorial on TinyApps.

The short version:

1. extract the zip file to /mnt/us/kiterm
2. create an init script to launch it on startup:
   

   cat>/etc/init.d/kiterm<<'EOF'
   #! /bin/sh
   # /etc/init.d/kiterm
   case "$1" in
   [...]

3. reboot the Kindle (Menu > Settings > Menu > Restart)
