in the end all it took was me putting the proper drivers onto my pc and figuring out my kindles ip address and make it fix and then find out my kindle password. no need for putty or scp. i used filezilla instead.

for anyone curious where the visible standard root folder of your kindle is, its in /mnt/base-us.

i can write up a proper how-to if someone asks for it.

thanks for all your help again guys! now i can start finally use the kindle as i intended to - read books to learn more about programming and maybe one day create something for the kindle

edit:

one hopefully last question though, do i need to remove the folder i created to stop the kindle from updating to be able to update again? i jailbreaked and put all the fixes in so i should be safe to update. should i remove the folder again? do i keep my files on the kindle when i update?
