I freely admit that I really, really don't have the technical know-how to even begin to find a solution to my screensaver problem. (But if you need advice on international arbitration, I'd be all over it.)
I tried installing Yifan Lu's simple screensaver hack as suggested in the KT wiki page (after carefully making sure all my custom screensavers were properly named and formatted), but no luck. It seems to download from the USB drive onto the Kindle fine, or a least I get "update your kindle" option on the settings menu. Then it restarts but eventually I get the "update unsuccessful Error 3" message. I tried to figure out the explanations of how to fix that error, but frankly got lost in the jargon. So I'm going to keep searching here and the rest of the internet for a fix, while hoping that some kind, generous, and non-judgmental developer here will come up with a simple solution to rescue us ignorant non-techies. |

In case someone has the same problem, I fixed my screensaver issue by uninstalling the simple screensaver hack, then uinstalling the old custom screensaver hack, then uninstalling the jailbreak. Then reinstalled the jailbreak. After copying my images to my hard drive, I deleted the "screensaver" folder in my KT USB root drive. I reinstalled the simple screensaver hack, and it created a new "screensaver" folder with the standard KT pens and pencils images. (And I also think I made a mistake in including the .png extension in the names of the images for the simple hack, which shows you how ignorant I really am.) So all is good now.
Thanks to the gurus who created the jailbreaks and the hacks. Last edited by Portia; 06-02-2012 at 12:34 AM. |

hi guys, just wanna confirm i'm going to be doing this right, as I have no experience with kindle modding. I'm using a Touch with 5.1.2, and I've downloaded the jailbreak to install the simple method way, and then I have downloaded simple screensaver 1.0, per the wiki. Just wanted to make sure I've got everything correct!

data.tar.gz works

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!! TY,TY,TY The data.tar.gz and runme.sh copy to KT root WORKED. My KT was bricked after I tried to update with yifanlu's exploit more than a year ago. It's been a long wait for a working fix. It was stuck at tree screen with no progress bar, but I could see the kindle drive in windows via usb. So I tried the above copy to kindle fix, and the 30 second reboot. The KT reboot twice and then started normally. I was still registered. I can't remember if I had books on it, but all it has now are the dics and U-G. The OS is 5.0.4. I now have 2 KT's because I got a replcmnt from AMZ (after a long talk with a tech). Thanks a million. |
