Hi knc1. Thanks for the reply. Just a couple of notes first.

1) Kindle PW w/o Ads; S/N B024 1502 2435 040C
2) All I want is to run my own screensavers.
3) Before the FW update to 5.6.1.1, I was at FW5.3.9 with update_jbpatch_3.2.1_fw531_install; update_linkss_0.15.N_install and update_python_0.8.N_install.
4) I have NEVER performed a RESET on this Kindle. Only Restarts.

I tried the hotfix as well as KUAL late yesterday. Just now, I used your link to download the hotfix again. This time, I turned Airplane Mode on and had the menu tree open. I dropped the hotfix file into root, disco'ed and saw that the Update was not greyed out. I ran the update and it said it was successful. Looking at the JBPatch icon, it says "Active." I clicked on the icon and it said that JBPatch is not installed. As expected, my screensavers are still not working.

Suggestions?

If it's not to complicated, my BUs included the hidden "system" folder. Is there more? Can I do a full backup and restore from the USB port and how?

Many thanks,
Fred
