Normal. You're trying to SSH to your local Windows box.

When I try other ip's like "192.168.15.201" for RNDIS and when i wanna connect "192.168.15.244", i get the "connection timed out" -message.

Also normal. Your PC doesn't know how to access the 192.168.15.* network (it only knows about the 192.168.2.* one).

Assuming that you're using the default configuration on the Kindle, set your PC's IP address to 192.168.15.201, then SSH to 192.168.15.244.

I have now understood it, and it now works. Guess I have misunderstood the guides I have been following. Thank you so much for making this clear to me.

Now for one last noob question (I know I should know more about this, but how else do you learn?) Is there a guide/list somewhere with all the basic commandos like for example how to create the auto file in the /mnt/us/usbnet folder?

@steff8000: Use the KUAL extension.

okay, I have KUAL installed, but if I want to install apps that has files that needs to be placed in the /mnt/us/ folder what do I do? How can I access that folder on my pc.

Again, sorry for being such a noob, but I really really really appreciate you guys help!

/mnt/us/ will appear on your computer as Kindle Drive whenever you plug in your Kindle, mounted as E:\ most likely -- it contains the documents, system folders, (and audio, music on the Basic,Touch, Keyboard models) screenshots, and so forth. It is only located at /mnt/us/ within the Kindle's operating system.

Aah, I see. Thank you very much!

Thanks for this great thread and work, NiLuJe and all.

I'm trying to JB my PW2 (running 5.4.3) and ran into the grayed out "Update Your Kindle" state after downloading and extracting the necessary .zip files. Here's a bit more info on my specific PW2:

* Model: Kindle PW2 (Wifi only - no special offers)
* Bought and Shipped to: US (Northeast - week of 12/2/2013)
* First 4 digits of SN: 90D4

Any help you can provide on getting this working would be much appreciated.
Thanks again!

@talbs:

Perfectly detailed answer, except that this model is indeed supported (I should know, it's the one I got ;p).

Wild guess: you forgot to actually unzip the stuff in the right place?

Is that a typo and you meant 5.4.2? If not and you indeed have 5.4.3 then it's a brand-new-just-out FW

NiLuJe · 12-04-2013, 05:38 AM

Huh. Good catch ;p.

Many Thanks! ^_^

NiLuJe · 12-05-2013, 03:04 AM

@yesno256: That's a PW1, and it is of course supported, so you probably did something wrong.

latexsalesman · 12-05-2013, 05:22 PM

Thank you so much NiLuJe and all my friends here at Mobileread. My PW2 is finally looking like it is supposed to. Screensavers are back....

Awesome Job!!!

Released USBNet 0.15.N, with multiple PW2 fixes, and thus, actual, proper PW2 support. PW2 owners: If you weren't using a snapshot version, I strongly recommend updating

.

It also sports the latest dropbear version, with ECC support, fixing/working around the slow logins that have plagued it for a while (provided your client handles ECC key exchanges).

manwoodsal · 12-06-2013, 06:06 PM

What are you talking about a snapshot. Is that the backup of it? TRying to find out what you are talking about that.. Please let me know. I Did use the jailbreak but I didn't put the networking onto it. I was waiting to see if the collections would come up and can be used.
