Note: if you repeat trying to install, do a fresh copy of the DK_System folder. ( I am still attempting to download, so I have not tested it yet - done about 9 failed downloads ) |

It's not clear which BIN files to copy in the root directory of the Kindle.

For updating to this new version what I have to do? Only taking the update.bin file and putting it in the Kindle root?

- downloaded a book from Gutenberg: it's utf8 text, and there are the same errors with the special characters and dictionary. And there are some errors in French. - there are also some trouble with switching to the usb-storage and I also had to reset it a couple of times. ( need some more testing ) |

After restart the update stops, as I said before, showing error N° 3. Then I press <R> to start the Kindle OS. Then <menu> and <restart> but nothing happen: the system restart with the Kindle OS. At this point I connect the Kindke via USB and see that the BIN file is no more present. I copy the BIN file again and try to update, but find the same error. This Duokan seems to be harder than expected Last edited by Teddy; 03-19-2011 at 07:28 PM. |

Thanks for taken a look at this issue TFethryDuck.
Actually I tried too to download a book from guttenberg at the result was surprisingly better than I had before. Accents are now in the same font than the rest of the text. I was sure my previous text file was UTF8 too, so I have to test that again. (I am with Ubuntu at home) The biggest problem is the text format, words with accents are truncated. I finally managed to do a printscreen thanks to you, and reported in one page the three common issue we meet with three dot colors, but there are probably more. (You seems to have problems with the î letter on your printscreen) But it is a good step for me I can deal with that for now. And I have to say, I really love Duokan. The category page is perfect (multiple folders, what a dream to organise my pdf articles) and it is far better to read mangas on it than the buggy amazon one. Happy user here. |

Did you jailbreak your kindle ? I saw that it doesn't work in this case. Last edited by sichroteph; 03-19-2011 at 07:40 PM. |

As additional information, in the root of the Kindle I have 2 calibre files with extension .CALIBRE . But I don't think they give problems. |

1. Check the size of .rar file you downloaded. It should be 39.6Mb. ( if not, try download again and check filesize ) 2. Delete the DK_System folder. Copy the new unpacked DK_System folder you downloaded to the Kindle. Place "update_duokan_0b008.bin" in your root. 3. Restart 4. When it starts up again, keep an eye on the screen. You don't want to miss the Duokan Boot screen where you need to press "Q" ------------ A few notes: - if you didn't have a Duokan installed before this last version, you may try to install the previous first ( see post #514 ) - and when you are in Duokan, do the steps above with this last version. When you eject(safely remove the device) - you will wait for some time until the system comes up again. ( you do not need to restart, it will update automatically ) You also restart in an ctrl-alt-del fashion ![]() ( when you have counted to around 8, the led may turn off - but keep holding it and count ) Again, don't miss the boot screen, where you have to press "Q" In (2) - notice that you use a "fresh" DK_System folder. You may receive errors if you only place an "update_duokan_0b008.bin" in your root, without doing so - because during the update, it rearrange several files in the folder, and delete some needed during the update. Enjoy the new version ![]() |
