@magarto: try again after reading this properly this time.

Spoiler alert: Unless it's actually a PW4, the answer's still going to be no, though.

Yes, keeping an eye on the Kindle is a great advice. I have kept mine (WiFi only) in airplane mode since it came out of the box, and suddenly a couple days ago I exited KOreader to upload some ebooks and somewhere in the process it decided to go out of airplane mode. Luckily I never configured it with my WiFi parameters and credentials.

Why not use scp to copy books onto the Kindle? No need to exit anything.

This is good advice (not configuring WiFi creds), there should be a KUAL shortcut for deleting them!

mergen3107 · 02-21-2020, 01:53 PM

You can create one an upload here

trcm · 02-21-2020, 03:39 PM

I may put it on the ever expanding list of things to do, like us all there’s never enough time is there

Is there a good doc on writing KUAL menu add-ins...
I see pages on all the extensions and how to use KUAL, nothing on how to develop for it?

NiLuJe · 02-21-2020, 04:57 PM

Because you just have to open one to realize that it's just a dumb JSON table

.

trcm · 02-21-2020, 05:03 PM

Ahh ok <thumbs up>
Thanks @NiLuJe, I may take a look tomorrow then.

Actually, it is kinda easy to navigate through settings to ask Kindle to forget all WiFi passwords,
It’s a shame they make you switch on WiFi to do it though!

Yes. It is last Kindle Paperwhite model

magarto · 02-22-2020, 08:56 AM

It is PW4 G000PP. I cannot find how to inject an already jailbroken firmware. Sorry, I'm noob

trcm · 02-22-2020, 09:39 AM

Good lord, I forgot how much crap the Kindle runs to spy on its user.
We dont need /etc/dem_heartbeat/* do we,
or most of /etc/crontab/root...

Getting warmer, /usr/bin/wifilocker looks to store creds in sqlite3 db here : /var/local/system/wifilocker/wifilocker.db

Except it doesn't. Hmm, where is it...

Because there is no known way to to that.

Please read the very first post in the [I]Open Sesame{/I] thread.

Yes, I read it but another user told me above:

@magarto: @ilovejedd may be able to help with a PW4.

(You've still botched the amount of stuff needed to ID your device properly, though. So, read the Wiki page I linked above *again* first).
