Tools Snapshots of NiLuJe's hacks

[arooni]

was trying to install your awk tool since i'm packing my kindle full of extensions.

when i load kual i don't see the option to install it. finally i ssh'd into the bin directory and just ran your install script but it didnt seem to populate a binary version of awk

No error in /tmp/kual.log but in in /tmp/kual.cache i do see mention of it:
ecrs
1:ff00ff00ff000b
Sort menu ABC
/var/tmp;[ -r '/mnt/us/extensions/KUAL.cfg' ] || echo "#
 /mnt/us/extensions/KUAL.cfg - created on `date`" >'/mnt
/us/extensions/KUAL.cfg';s=$(awk 'BEGIN{nf=1} /^\s*KUAL_
sort_mode=/{sub(/=.*/,"=\"ABC\"");nf=0} {print} END{if(n
f) print "KUAL_sort_mode=\"ABC\""}' '/mnt/us/extensions/
KUAL.cfg') && [ 0 != ${#s} ] && echo "$s" >'/mnt/us/exte

neither seems to be appearing. is there a way to get KUAL to re-search the extensions directory somehow?

[NiLuJe]

It only appears in the actual KUAL submenu if it's not already installed.

Check the version tag in KUAL's footer, the final letter after the comma is all about this: a for busybox, g for gawk.

"(20191030,a)"

so seems like its not using gnu's gawk yet. Would love any advice to get this installed.

here is what my extensions directory looks like:

[root@kindle extensions]# ls

EDIT: I got this working; just ssh'd in and from the correct directory (which is not ./bin BTW lol) I manually ran the script and it works great. KUAL menu not appearing? Not stopping me

PW4 5.12.5 the latest hotfix cannot be installed as update with Error 007.
In the log:
200515:180622 system: E bundlefuncs:verify_bundle:invalid bundle signature

[NiLuJe]

@hius07:

It's likely that something is aggressively deleting the PRE_GM flag on 5.12.5. I have no idea what, or when, that happens, but from the quick glance I gave at the FW, it's not any of the upstart jobs, so, no idea, really.

TL;DR: It's over, stop updating.

[Abish4i]

Is there anyone else having Hotfix Error with 5.12.5

Cuz I haven't updated to lastest firmware...

[Uphantom89]

Yes, i have 007 error , follow NiLuJe comments in this thread, I did try emergency.sh and luckily i got my jb back.
To be safe, I downgraded my PW4 to 5.10.1.3 and have no intention to upgrade to any higher firmware

[hius07]

On 5.12.5 the bridge can be installed via mrpi.

[tomsem]

I have a Kindle Touch running 5.3.7.3 serial number B011 14xx xxxx xxxx, have run jailbreak and rescue pack so far.

Trying to install Python, copied Update_python_0.15.N_install_touch_pw.bin over, but Kindle rejects it: no Update in Settings, and when connect on USB, the .bin file is gone, and I don't seen any evidence Python got installed.

Am I missing something (this is my first JB 'project' so it is quite possible).

Thanks.

[hius07]

Use mrpi.

[NiLuJe]

Latest round of updates includes perf in USBNet (on PW2+, since it requires kernel & libc support that's not available earlier).

The bridge has been mildly tweaked. It may help with whatever's happening on FW 5.12.5. Or it may catastrophically fail. .

Thanks, I'm up and running now!

[arooni]

If I normally read with koreader; is there any point to me installing the python package?

[NiLuJe]

@arooni: Not if you have no actual need for Python.

Are you interested in more logs trying to install hotfix via UYK?
