Hi guys,

to update you on a "progress" it went all to hell really...

After another reset I've encountered message "your kindle is no longer a test kindle... " and KUAL also stopped to work alltogather. Searching the web and this forum I found out that developer keys somehow got expired... These need to be copied to /var/local/java/keystore/ .. which of course I'm unable to do without USBNet which I'm trying to enable this whole time. Going in circles. I've tried to launch a shell script that could copy those keys to the desired location. That does not work at all as well. K4 has no support of launchpad and kite has been developed till K3.

Factory reset also didn't help.
After I got JailBreak back and KUAL and all the others - it just says the same thing - your kindle is no longer a test kindle bla bla.

I'd rather not comment on how is Amazon able to develop a system with so many restrictions and downfalls.

FYI I have usb 2.0 . Even when I got USBNet and ssh active before I did not have an IP address to connect to on a whole 192.168.0.0/16 range.
