Basically /var/local/eink/isis.wbf is the default waveform you need for the kindle 3 to load if your eeprom is empty.
To make a complete list of steps, you need:
1. Jailbreak and install usbnetwork, https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=88004
2. Enable usbnetwork to automatically start when usb is connected, so you can quickly experiment with a few different waveforms. Check the readme of usbnetwork package.
3. When kindle started, connect usb to your computer and ssh to it. Link a pre-stored waveform from /opt/eink/images/ to /var/local/eink/isis.wbf, reboot and test.
ln -s /opt/eink/images/xxx.wbf /var/local/eink/isis.wbf
For me only the oldest wbf works, maybe my new panel is really an old model. |
WOW!! haven't had a chance to get back to my old Kindle.. (bought a new one). And this worked perfectly!! I tried the first alphabetically wbf file (didn't look at date codes..)
Had this problem for years! Didn't know it was such a simple fix =). For some reason there was a loose screw in my kindle too =/ Couldn't figure out where it goes... so left it out.
