Kindlepid Fix for KindleDX

sirbruce · 06-17-2009, 07:03 PM

I posted this is in the regular Kindle forums earlier, but thought it was prudent to add here as well. I order for version 0.2 to work on the Kindle DX, you need to add the following in bold:

Code:

    if serial.startswith("B001"):
      print "Kindle 1 serial number detected"
    elif serial.startswith("B002"):
      print "Kindle 2 serial number detected"
    elif serial.startswith("B004"):
      print "Kindle DX serial number detected"
    else:
      print "Warning: unrecognized serial number. Please recheck input."
      sys.exit(1)

Someone should consider taking over the code and releasing an official 0.3 version.

I might add that my wife got a replacement Kindle 1 with a S/N beginning B101 so I I had to modify the script for that.

Does anyone know what the B00X prefix will be on the new K3 latest generation Kindles will be?

No, we don't.

Good, Is it a shell script ?
And did you tried it ?

Re: K3 prefix.

Seems to be B006 in the few clear shots of the 3g+Wifi review units I've seen.

(And since we're talking about S/N prefixes, for those wondering, it's B009 for the DXG)

And it's B008 for the Kindle WiFi version
