KPW Install .bin Not Recognized

sitrucz · 02-03-2013, 07:20 AM

I have usbnetworking installed and configured over ssh/wifi. I wanted to install the latest patch for jbpatch and copied it over using scp.

Code:

scp update_jbpatch_3.2.1_fw531_install.bin root@kindle.local:/mnt/us/

Welcome to Kindle!

update_jbpatch_3.2.1_fw531_install.bin        100% 1247KB   1.2MB/s   00:01

I verify it’s there for installation.

Code:

ls -lh /mnt/us/*.bin
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        1.2M Feb  3 06:59 /mnt/us/update_jbpatch_3.2.1_fw531_install.bin

On my kpw when I choose Menu | Settings and then pull down the menu again the option Update Your Kindle is grayed out.

How can I tell my kpw to refresh and look for the file?

However, you can still force the installation from the command-line:

Code:

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.ota startUpdate 1

Oops.

Or you can use a button:

Spoiler:

Middle option. 'Begin grayed installer'.
