Awesome!

Ok, I (probably) need a few system files. So you have to check which files on your Kindle are different from mine and you need a way to transfer files from and to your PC.

Transfering files should be easy with SSH by using SCP, SSHFS or something similiar. I think you can also just copy the files to the document partition which you can access normaly trough USB. Tell me if you need help with this.

I would highly recommend to do a full backup of everything you can grab before trying anything even remotely dangerous

To find the files I need, download the complete_md5_list.txt from https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...1&postcount=34 and transfer it to your Kindle. Now run the following command:

Code:
cd / && md5sum --check path/to/complete_md5_list.txt --quiet
This calculates an MD5 hash of every file and compares it to the list of my hashes. Hopefully it should output only a few lines.

If you get this far, just post the output of the above command here.
You could also directly send me all those files, but that is a bit problematic as you probably don't want to put any personal data online. And before you go trough all the hassle let's verify that you got the right files.
