Hi…
Last night I turned on WiFi without thinking and Amazon forced an update on me.
I’m now the not-so-proud owner of a Paperwhite 1st generation with Firmware 5.4.4.2 (223310003).
At first I wasn’t too concerned, as it had happened before and I simply reinstalled python and linkss, but this time it doesn’t seem to work.
I installed Update_python_0.10.N_install_touch_pw.bin and Update_linkss_0.17.N_install_touch_pw.bin in that order by putting them into /Volumes/Kindle, ummounting and disconnecting from USB before using the “Settings” —> “Update Kindle” menu.
In both cases Kindle claimed that it was installing the software and there were no visible error messages.
I then threw in another “Restart device“ for good measure.
Yet I’m still stuck with the original screenscaver.
Did I miss something?
Man, when I get this stuff fixed I’m so gonna block the updates with a router filter rule or one of the hacks.
