hola!claude · 07-07-2014, 02:06 PM

Hi I just did the jailbreak to my kindle 4nt (https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle4NTHacking)
and it was successful,

now I'm trying the screen saver hack
(https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...26_4.x_Kindles)

but I'm stuck here:
3) Copy the appropriate ss bin file to the root of your Kindle along with the "linkss" folder found inside the "src" folder.

Where's the src folder?

Yes I'm a noob

"When you unpack the .zip file, you should end up with a new folder named 'kindle-2.5-fonts-3.1.N'.

Inside this folder are the bunch of .bin files, and a folder named 'src'."

I unpacked it but it's not there....

@hola!claude: That's a mistake in the wiki page. There's no src folder anymore, and copying the linkss folder manually hasn't been needed for, oh, well, over 2 and a half years?

.

So that's a *very old* mistake actually, good catch.

Just put the correct .bin file, eject, run the update, and you're good to go.
