Screenshots:
—————————————


Important:
—————————————
• Use at your own risk!

• If you are new to jailbreak, turn off WiFi! (via Aeroplane/Airplane mode).
• Remove the update.bin.tmp.partial file (if it exists) from the Kindle root directory.
• If you use renameotabin, you must Restore OTA Binaries before using BinaryRenamer.

Usage:
—————————————
Block OTA Updates:

Spoiler:

This button works similar as Rename button in renameotabin extension by @hius07

The following files will be renamed:
• /usr/bin/otaupd --> /usr/bin/otaupd~
• /usr/bin/otav3 --> /usr/bin/otav3~

As you might have noticed, the suffix ~ has been added to the binary files.

Warning!:
• UYK (Update Your Kindle) will stop working.
• You will not be able to update your Kindle via UYK.

Restore OTA Updates:

Spoiler:

The above changes will be revoked, UYK will operate again.

Block Device Logging:

Spoiler:

Amazon logs and sends to servers EVERYTHING you do on a Kindle, even every single tap and time in milliseconds precision.

When you select this button, backups will be created for the files below:
• /usr/sbin/syslog-ng --> /usr/sbin/syslog-ng~
• /usr/sbin/loginfo --> /usr/sbin/loginfo~
• /usr/sbin/tinyrot --> /usr/sbin/tinyrot~
• /usr/bin/showlog --> /usr/bin/showlog~

You can still find files with their original names, but they are empty because they are linked to /dev/null.

What are these files responsible for?:
• syslog-ng - syslog server and logging daemon
• loginfo - extracts specific information from syslog
• tinyrot - rotates log files to be fetched from remote servers
• showlog - specifies which log file to send

Warning!:
• Reading logs will not be possible anymore, the showlog -f command no longer works (it does not exist).
• Sometimes it is necessary to troubleshoot issues (manually or by entering in search bar ;dm command), especially after a Kindle Update.
• Log-dependent extensions, such as scripts displaying reading time will also stop working.

Thanks to @mergen3107 for the commands
