Dear All,
I did a
font fix some years ago, and I want to reproduce it for my new kindle paperwhite. The firmware version is 5.4.5.1 (unfortunately updated without my concent when plugged wi-fi, so I can't jailbreak it).
With pw2 device I have a problem:
"Update Your Kindle" is greyed for the bin file which I am creating.
For other bin files of other authors - e.g. with a very well known update_rescue_pack_20131220.bin - the menu item "Update Your Kindle" is enabled.
So, there is some difference, and I do something wrong when I create this bin file. Please, help.
My steps are next:
1) I've just taken kindletool from
here - the MinGW version.
2) I'm working in Win7. I have a bat file makebin.bat with this command inside:
kindletool create ota2 -d paperwhite2 discover_install update_discover_install_pw2.bin
near this makebin.bat I have a folder discover_install with one file in it - install.sh. The contents of this file is next:
#!/bin/sh
cp -f /opt/amazon/ebook/lib/framework-api*.jar /mnt/us/
cp -f /opt/amazon/ebook/lib/MobiReader*.jar /mnt/us/
When I ran this file, the bin is created. But when I copy this bin into the root of the kindle device, and when I go to the menu "Settings", the "Update Your Kindle" is greyed. I connect my device again, and what I see: MY BIN FILE IS ALREADY MISSING! Something is killing it.
Question: what I am doing wrong when making my bin?
