Quick Kindle 3 root shell via USB - Page 10

NiLuJe · 10-29-2010, 03:27 AM

@mockingbird: See my answer on the main forum. (ie. hold [HOME] during a cold boot, that'll get you to the factory reset screen).

Because launching the factory reset script from a running framework probably wouldn't be pretty...

Keyboard input doesn't seem to work. You can just see a mirror of what is happening on the Kindle's screen.

Thanks to ecostin and NiLuJe for all their efforts.

I am looking to install a remote software on to my kindle so that i can access it from another pc. How can i install vnc or any other software?

I have already followed the guides on here to jailbreak and add usbnetworking. I have changed the root password as well.

Thanks

anyone?

Heres in hope of a response

When i copy a file to the root directory when connected as USB, what directory does the file appear in when i connect via usbnetwork. I have telnet access but cant for the life of me find the file i copied.

Thanks.

For the people having problems with the keyboard input via VNC:

- the ufbvncd daemon must be started before the Java framework for keyboard input to work, otherwise the VNC connection will not provide any input to the appication
- if the file ENABLE_VNC is present on the exported USB root, then the VNC daemon should start before the framework
- if the /usr/sbin/ufbvncd is started manually (say via ssh), then after starting it, run /etc/init.d/framework restart

The keys are mapped in a weird way, but it should be easy to find all of them by probing.

can you connect to the kindle via vnc when it is using 3G?

I can get vnc to work via usbnetworking but i am unable to connect using my home wireless. I have forced the kindle to use a specific ip address which i can ping but vnc fails to connect.

What key shows the Menu screen when accessing the kindle via vnc?

NiLuJe · 11-15-2010, 02:15 PM

@Beerbaron: You'll need to setup an iptables exception on the wlan0 interface on the port(s) the vnc daemon is using.

Would something like this work?

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5900 -j ACCEPT

Thanks.

NiLuJe · 11-16-2010, 11:21 AM

You're missing the interface arg, but basically, yeah, that's it. Provided 5900 is the right port. (you can check the usb network hack for the full syntax).

Beerbaron · 11-16-2010, 11:39 AM

where would i include the interface in that line? vnc uses port 5900 i believe.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i wlan0 --dport 5900 -j ACCEPT ??

how can i view the syntax?

NiLuJe · 11-16-2010, 02:14 PM

Pretty much anywhere should do it. Find an iptables man page online

Beerbaron · 11-16-2010, 02:23 PM

i have got it working via my wireless

How do i view the syntax of the usb network hack (update_usbnetwork_0.28.N_k3gb_install.bin) you mentioned earlier?

ubuntutech · 11-16-2010, 06:38 PM

Anyone know if this works on a Kindle DX Graphite?

Also, is this dependent on a particular software version (as in, one that is only on the Kindle 3)?

NiLuJe · 11-16-2010, 06:38 PM

@Beerbaron:
Don't bother about that if you got it working
