A simple thread to chronicle my adventures in gaining root access to my K3W.
On My K3W:
- jailbreak
- ss
- mkk
- KUAL
- gawk
- helper
- lpad
- usbNetwork
- mrinstaller
Progress:
- added grayscale PNGs for screensavers
- Manual IPV4 IP 192.168.2.1
- ping'd the K3W from Mac OS X, 192.168.2.2
- ssh 192.168.2.2 failed multiple attempts
- paired key set up & ssh root@192.168.2.2 yields then fails
- Obtained root PW and recovery PW via kindletool
I'm very happy with my progress. I spend a couple of hours on it each night after work. I am currently stumped as to why I can't gain ssh access via the usbNetwork connection. I have generated and deleted and regenerated key pairs many times on both Linux and OS X systems to ssh into the K3W.
I can ssh from my Mac to my Linux box and vice versa. I have disabled the Network Manager in Linux and modified the sshd_config file on the Mac. My guess is that I am missing some small yet important step that is making this part get fubar'd.
