Thanks for developing/explaining the hacks... I've used them to "fix" multiple Kindles over the years.

I received a Kindle Paperwhite 2 for Christmas, and by that evening I had the Jailbreak and Screensaver hacks working perfectly. They have continued to work perfectly up until last night (I have one custom screensaver loaded which always comes on when the reader goes asleep)...

Last night, the custom screensaver quit working (I now see the pre-loaded screensavers). I did purchase a book two days ago, but I've made plenty of other book purchases without having an issue with the screensaver hack.

I hooked the Kindle back up to my computer, and my screensaver is still in the proper folder (and the regular screensavers are all in the "backups" folder). I tried moving the regular screensavers out of the backups folder and installing my custom screensaver, still see the old screensavers. I tried rebooting, still the old screensavers.

Is it possible my Kindle has downloaded a new version of the software that has "broken" the Jailbreak?
