[k3] Enter debugOn/usbNetworking on k3 3g with broken screen?

erk · 05-24-2015, 01:51 PM

I have a kindle3 (keyboard/3g) with broken screen that is jailbroken.

Since the screen is broken, I can't see the visual feedback for 'sym' key to enter the sequence to enable USB networking.

Can someone provide the series of blind key presses I would need?

Also, I had 'networking off' - can I turn this on from the Linux command-line? Is there a blind key sequence that would work?

Thank you.

Moved to the dev forum, where such posts belong.

You could also simply enable USBNet-at-boot by dropping a blank 'auto' file in the usbnet folder

Awesome! Thanks.

Now that i have the linux command-line, can I enable external networking?

I tried:

Quote:

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.cmd wirelessEnable 1

and got:

com.lab126.cmd failed to set value for property wirelessEnable (0x8 lipcErrNoSuchProperty)

@erk: Must be doable, but no idea how. Check KoReader's source, it might be doing it properly in the network manager part of things.
