I have been trying to figure out if there is a viable method of recovering my books and notes — standard PC recovery software won’t work since the Scribe was updated to MTP. I have been exploring the possibility to disable MTP, and mount it under Linux as a USB Mass Storage device as was the case before I updated to firmware 5.16.3.
Has anyone had success reverting MTP on the Scribe? I looked online and haven’t seen anyone do this yet. My only lead I noticed so far is that is that there is a Boolean toggle “MTP_available” in the /etc/sysconfig/board_variables file.
I am also jailbroken so I am open to installing any command line software that can run on-device (though I am wary of potentially overwriting the deleted data on the device).
P.S
Does anybody know if there is a way to prevent Amazon from remotely deleting files when I connect to the wifi in the future? I hope to disable the binary/script responsible for it (if possible).
I’d love if someone more experienced could chime in. And thanks for any help or suggestions! |
The solution to prevent this in the future is to keep WiFi off.
