And STOP there. Check if it works, there's a default custom screensavers installed for this particular reason.
==============
Yes NiLuJe, I did these things last night. carefully.
i was sure to detach the USB cable from the kindle each time and restart.
a message "S preparing cover..." did appear on restarting.
-----------
the screensavers in the hack which are supposed to appear on successful hack install did not appear.
=============
now the file "cover" or "last" is supposed to be placed in the linkss directory on kindle to activate the process, i understand.
which linkss directory ? i notice there are two of them (one in /extensions/linkss/ and other in /linkss (in root).
i assume it is meant the linkss in root directory. placed an empty "cover" and restarted. no luck.

=================
this time while installing the scrsaver hack and restarting i noticed the words
"S Processing Screensavers" kind of message. i did not notice it earlier.

-----------
but still the amazon scrsavers keep appearing in rotation.
i noticed a file "auto" in /linkss directory, maybe it creates some ptoblem ? i deleted it and tried restart after changing "last" to "cover".
same result - only amazon scrsavers appear.
--------------
normally if the scrsaver hack works, will the amazon directory structure change (will the scrsavers get deleted in the amazon dir structure) ? because these scrsavers remain and is the source of the problem ? maybe i should delete these old scrsavers for new ones to work. probably not, just guessing .
Im at end of this route anyway.
-------------------
Here is the dir structure on the kindle if you need to know why it went wrong.
i also installed the "combined-dev-certs-20121002" followed by "k5_rescue_pack_20130906" last night. disconnecting from USB and restarting each time following the "update kindle".
when i check the kindle dir structure for the file "/mnt/us/ENABLE_DIAGS" , nothing of the sort is found , there is no /mnt/us dir even created. I hoped if i could start this utility (SSH server) could be used to debug what happened and why scrsvr hack didnt work or at least be able to access some info inside the kindle which will tell me if its SO device model.
--------------------
so now we found two hacks that didnt work as supposed 1) Scrsaver 2) SSH server on this kindle.
Its clear this kindle is not accepting the hacks.
-----------
If it doesn't, check the FAQ, with a particular emphasis on 'Is this a Special Offers device?' and 'Did it come from Waterstones?'. - you said.

i followed the link "FAQ" at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=625 but it dosent tell me anything how to identify if its SO model. Im still puzzled.

Where did you buy your device?

Check your 'Manage Your Kindle' page, the Special Offers status is specified there (in the 'Manage Your Devices' section).

Hi NiLuJe,

I bought from amazon online US when i was in SanFrancisco a couple of months ago. it was the current model at the time. last week amazon sells a newer model which is current now.

there is no SO information in the kindle settings page or devices page.
here is a screenshot, you can confirm it too ! I only removed some name and personal info in two lines in that screenshot. other data is shown as it is on that page )

MOD: screenshot removed to protect Serial Number

Plan B then: What do you see when the Kindle goes to sleep?

Hi !
what is there on kindle screen in sleep mode ?
its the cover of a book which amazon wants me to buy !
it says " Last train to Istanbul" by Ayse Kulin. - int'l bestseller with a strange picture on this cover. if i switch it on and read some book then make it sleep, another cover comes up - a blonde a beach looking quite skinny, holding a bag - Catherine Bybee - "not quite enough". hope u get the picture

can you instruct me clearly how to get the SSH server up and running ?
i did run the SSH server hack a day ago. but i dont know how to connect to it exactly from my PC. I installed an SSH client "PuTTY for windows" on my XP now. i have to connect the USB cable and how to get the SSH server up and running on the Kindle ? what command ? and where to give it ?

[Moderated]

any suggestions ?

Congratulations, you have an SO device!

Given your screenshot, you're not in the US anymore, so I'd suggest you contact Kindle CS to find a solution to unsubscribe from the Special Offers.

No one here will tell you otherwise (see forum rules).

You want ixtab to do that -- a goddess of suicide's smiting would be indistinguishable from, well, suicide, and thus would not get you in legal trouble.
