@zenob: I can't see why that wouldn't work. So I guess your issue stems from your OS, and I can't really do anything about that

Hi ,

thanks to everyone here that donates their time to improve the kindle experience for free!

a few months ago, i got the screensaver hack for kindle 2.5 & got it to work & display my hubby's artwork all by myself (but it did take awhile lol). today i got my kindle 3 & after uploading my current books, my next priority was to reaquire the screensavers i've grown to love, but something didn't work this time. i dont think i downloaded the correct bin file for k3, even tho i followed the directions on the first posting in this thread to the best of my ability. (the update kindle option stayed gray). i'm so sorry if this q has already been asked and answered, i did go through pages of posts, but all seemed to be about font hacks, which i hope to venture into later. any help greatly appriciated.

Try following the directions in the Kindle Visual Guide wiki here.

Hi guys

Thanks!

@peachtreecreek: Grayed out "Update Your Kindle" link means that you got the wrong .bin for your Kindle model. Check the S/N in the Settings page.

@vebaev: _dxg, of course.

It's just a bit cleaner that way, but other than that it doesn't change a thing, so you really don't need to upgrade

Hi

For me to patch to the latest version of screensaver, do I need to uninstall the old version or does running the latest version does the work?

First of all, no need to touch the jailbreak again. You already installed it the first time you installed hacks. Just forget about it now .
Next, no need to run the update_*_uninstall.bin updates, ever. (except in some specific cases, like if you're updating from another font/ss hack [in which case you should use the original uninstaller for your hacks, and not the ones found here]).
Then, you can apply the latest update_*_install.bin updates, one by one. You can safely chain both hacks installs.
After that, to make sure everything's in order, do a full Restart of your Kindle ([HOME] -> [MENU] > Settings -> [MENU] > Restart), and you'll be good to go . Note that in some cases, especially for minor updates, this restart is not strictly necessary, but better be safe than sorry .

So, no, you can install right on top.

Awesome work! I'd like to apply the anti big brother changes on my K3, but when I type "mntroot rw" I get an error saying that mmcxxxp1 is a loop device and it can not be mounted to write.

Does anybody have the same problem?

NiLuJe · 10-07-2010, 10:16 PM

@floriano: No. From where are you typing that?

From my kindle. I connected to it via ssh.

Hi

Thanks for the replies! I finally got the right bin file and update was no longer gray, but when I updated, twice, it said update failed.

Anyone know why & what I can do about it. Sure hate those ugly screensavers I have to look at now! lol

Did you jailbreak it first?

floriano · 10-08-2010, 05:50 PM

My problem is solved overnight. I don't know why, but now it just works as expected. Thanks for your efforts!

NiLuJe · 10-08-2010, 06:59 PM

@peachtreecreek: Which update failed? The kailbreak or the ss hack?

@floriano: Yeah, that *did* sound very weird...
