- Installed jailbreak from here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=198446
- followed the readme - two files in root, one in documents

- Upgraded to 5.3.3 using the file i found here: http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-updates.php
- Same procedure as downgrade

- Installed dev certs from here: http://ge.tt/3ZRY9XE/v/51
- insert into root and update from menu

- installed rescue pack from here:https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=2290044
- insert into root and update from menu

- installed the hack from here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=195474
- downloaded the links and took the install-file and inserted in the root folder. Then did a update

Install USBnetwork, SSH, delete Waterstones screensaver
---------------------------------------------

- Install USBnetwork. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=186645
- Now on your Kindle go to [Menu] -> Settings -> [Menu] -> Update Your Kindle. Once done, eject and unplug your Paperwhite.

- Now we need to test if it's installed correctly. On your Paperwhite, tap the search icon at the top. Type in ";un" without the quotations. It'll go back to the home screen thereafter. Now plug your Kindle into your Mac. If it doesn't show up as a device like it normally does, it's worked!

- SSH into your device and navigate to the waterstones screensaver image in /var/local/custom_reensavers/bg_medium_ss00.png

- Delete image and reboot device

---------------------------------------------
It works
---------------------------------------------

Okay, so hi! I have gotten all the way down to the last step here:

SSH into your device and navigate to the waterstones screensaver image in /var/local/custom_reensavers/bg_medium_ss00.png

- Delete image and reboot device

But I am too inexperienced with shell/linux to go any further. The fact that I am 1 step away from this and I spent my entire evening trying to do this makes me more determined to finish it. I've read the read me's and every possible similar thread on this site and others for SSH, but I cannot figure out how to SSH my device, navigate anywhere, or delete the dreaded waterstones screensaver. Any non-sassy insight would be greatly appreciated! I already feel like I've learned so much from doing this (though obviously not quite enough). ;D
