* Updated the root method for newer devices. Older devices may now fail, please report fw versions. * Fixed broken dhcp on usbnet (now gives out ip properly on linux) * Fixed broken suspend mishaps * Fixed usbnet for 6.x firmwares * Uninstallers are now builtin into each .app. There's no longer Uninstall.app, and the one from older versions shouldn't be used. @HelloWorld: Yes, it's too new. Try v7. |

@ezdiy Thanks for the reply. I've downloaded v7, but it still does not seem to work properly. I now get the message "Root installed", but it seems "su" still wasn't installed properly. Services.app silently fails to run (as described in your first post) and running Jailbreak.app just asks again whether I want to install root, not asking if I want to remove root. Running "/mnt/secure/su" manually gives me a "Permission denied" error, while running "su" (without path) gives tells me that I "must be suid to work properly".

I've build the app from the latest source in the github repo and now "/mnt/secure/su" and Services.app work properly. Thanks
Although I still have no idea why it didn't work before... |

Thanks for your work @ezdiy. It makes messing with Pocketbooks waaaaay easier.

I really like your work but got some problems with release: pbjb-v6-3-g671d61c
on a PB 631 with FW 5.20.1527. 1) If all services are enabled and device is connected to a windows machine, /mnt/ext1 will not be mounted as USB device but some drive with Linux content, I guess it is dev/mmcblk0p1. The partition layout on the PB631 is: dev/mmcblk0p1=? dev/mmcblk0p2=? dev/mmcblk0p3=/mnt/secure dev/mmcblk0p4=PB631=Dospartition=mnt/ext1 I don't have a boot partition or can't find it, boot folder is empty. Problem is solved by disabling services. 2) If external SD is inserted some strange 60MB Partition is shown as memory under settings instead of the external SD, my guess is, it is either dev/mmcblk0p1 or dev/mmcblk0p2, but library has access to the external SD and the SD is mounted correct via USB.

This change will make mounting the usb fail on older devices altogether (they miss the sym links), so we'll have to special-case their partitions once that comes. But for now it should not be an issue on newer device anymore. And finally, whenever this mishap comes up, it's enough to just disable usbnet - with usbnet disabled, we leave the original behavior of partition mounting alone, so it should always show correctly over usb.

Thanks for the clarification and solution. I wasn't sure you were aware of the problem, thats why I brought it up.

I wanted to upgrade to v.7.10 on my PB631/FW5.20, mainly to go around the 63Mb apparent partition containing a bit of this and a bit of that (probably similar to what reported by nhedgehog above), but ran in the following problems:

Uhm, I thought I read somewhere that PB631 was double-cored, but here is only one...
Code:

Oh, it's an NTX board (like Kobo)! That brings even more interesting news RE: screen updates. I thought all pocketbooks were Allwinner B288 (which indeed are all dual core).

I also remember that I downloaded the binary of I don't recall which other app from a B288/ directory, and that ran...
