Is this possible to achieve this w/o USBNetwork Hack? The wrong date ( 1970 ) is preventing me to open KUAL, which is preventing me to install MRR packages ( such as USBNetwork Hack ) I have never used USBNetwork Hack before but I`m ready to lear this as soon as I can get to that point. Is there any other way? I have JB, then installed MKK, MRR , certificate updates and KUA. Now I can`t open KUAL because of date check. Looks like a dead end for KINDLE DX? |

what I have tried is to replace the full name of bin file which does work as an update
setdate.bin -> renamed to : "Update_mkk-20141129-dx-B004_install.bin" and the file does not show up as an update ( greayed out ) while the actual Update_mkk-20141129-dx-B004_install.bin filer ( 88Kb ) works that should eliminate influence of a name. |

Based on that file name, you seem to have the Kindle DX U.S. model (serial number prefix B004).
There are a few different variants of the Kindle DX, and I believe an update file will only work on the specific Kindle model it was made for. I checked that setdate.bin file with KindleTool, and it was made for DX Graphite (S/N prefix B009). So it won't work with your DX (B004). I made a file that should work with your DX and attached it to this post. For future visitors to this thread, I've also included files for all variants of Kindle 2 and Kindle DX. Just use the file that matches the first four digits of your Kindle's serial number. |

THANK YOU SPARTANHEAVY!!!!!!!
Ohh boy I wish I saw your post 4hrs ago :-) Here is what I did in the meantime and KUAL is working ! 1. JB 2. Installe USBNetwork Hack via Kindle OS update using ZIP file from this page: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=88004 One does not need KUAL MR Installer for this one. 3. Enable USBNetwork Hack on my Windows PC note: host is 192.168.2.1 and Kindle is 192.168.2.2 ( not ...15.244 ) took me while. Guides are here, one will need drivers on Windows 11 4. telnet 192.168.2.2 5. command: mntroot rw 6. change the date by command 'date 111120422024' KUAL now starts jeeez I`m riding the way of Jailbreaking 14 years late :-) ![]() Last edited by vendo232; 12-18-2024 at 09:21 PM. |
