Several months ago I used these methods to jailbreak and run screensavers on my KT4. I had no problems. I just bought a used PW3, on FW 5.13.3, kept it in airplane mode, and successfully went through all of the steps to jailbreak (kindlebreak method) and add Kual, Python, SS, etc. However, I held off on cancelling the special offers with Amazon, so I knew I would not be able to actually use the SS hack. Soon after that I went onto Wifi to register and use the kindle pw, and of course the FW updated to 5.13.7. So, I ran the JB hotfix, and everything looked fine. Today I had Amazon remove the special offers. I then took 4 of my screensaver images from my KT4 and resized them to the 1072x1448. Put them into the linkss screensavers folder named consecutively bg_ss00 etc. But I cannot get the PW3 to run the screensavers. Covers mode so far seems to work(note the new FW update also has this as a stock option in settings.) My pics are all converted in size and in .png format. All of the KT4 pics are 32-bit grayscale I did not have to take them down to 8_bit. Do you possibly have a clue what I have done wrong?
