Jailbrake kindle with broken screen.

Hello, I am trying to jailbreak and usbnet a kindle that has a broken screen.

It is a first gen Kindle DX (B004) and I would like to make use of it for experimenting with the usbnet feature.

I have read the instructions and hopefully applied the update bin. Have no idea if it has worked as I am working blind.

Is there a way to tell if the Kindle has been jailbreak without being able to use the screen?

Cheers
Jonny

The usual way of testing a jailbreak is to try using a hack.

Assuming you were successfully jailbroken, which is reasonable, try installing USBNetwork, configuring it to start, and see if you can connect.
Just enter the right commands etc. as if you can see the screen -- the DX is keyboard driven, so it's not as important to see the screen as it is on newer devices.
