Tools BinaryRenamer - Block OTA Updates & Device Logging

[DNSB]

When I tried installing the updated v2.0, it gives me a JSON error. In the migrate code, it seems as the "if" line has issues. I think it was just a missing comma but not totally certain.

{
	"name": "== Migrate from renameotabin ==",
	"if": "\"/usr/bin/otaupd.bck\" -f \"/usr/bin/otav3.bck\" -f &&",
	"action": "./bin/binaryrenamer.sh",
	"params": "migrate_to_binaryrenamer",
	"checked": true,
	"exitmenu": false,
	"refresh": true
	},

Yes, sorry about this. Works now

I can confirm that this (v2) works on Kindle PW3 using a rather old 5.12.2 Firmware.
So I can finally unchain my bought Amazon content from DRM and proprietary formats again.

Kindle classic gen 11 on 5.17 jailbroken. It detects i've renamed with renametobin. When i click on migrate to renamebin it refreshes the menu and returns me to the top level of kual. If i go back into binaryrenamer again and reboot it won't make any changes.

Any suggestions? Or where i should check for logs? Thanks. I do prefer this script as I like being able to see the status to confirm it worked.

I checked and the problem is that the script tried to move otav3.bck.bck and otaupd.bck.bck file and there should be only one .bck extension

New fixed version is released.

Installed.

Selected migrate which then added the == around the reboot button. Hit reboot button. After reboot the migrate button is gone but the reboot button still has == around it. There is also no option to disable the ota update blocker. Not working as intended i assume?

Guess i can't edit my post anymore. Just checked and after trying the migrate i'm now missing otaupd and otav3 in /usr/bin/

[bnuuy]

Yeah, it appears this update now somehow deletes both files. I'm now missing otaupd and otav3.

edit: Would have edited first post but time to edit had expired.

Sorry about that . I answered you in PM about how to recover these files. I did mistake again in script.

for otabin_bck in "$1" "$2"; do
      mv "$otabin_bck" "$otabin~"
done

"migrate_to_binaryrenamer" )
    migrate_from_renameotabin /usr/bin/otaupd.bck /usr/bin/otav3.bck

I rewritten it now to:

for otabin in "$1" "$2"; do
      mv "$otabin.bck" "$otabin~"
done

"migrate_to_binaryrenamer" )
    migrate_from_renameotabin /usr/bin/otaupd /usr/bin/otav3

This is the same behavior that is working for restore ota or block ota update buttons. I don't know why I changed behavior for migrate button, everything I should do is just copy function and add .bck after $otabin
....
This day is a mess for me

https://github.com/NiLuJe/KindleTool you can use this tool to extract update and set files back. If you don't know how I'll help. And I'm sorry for making trouble for you.

V2.1 reuploaded.

I was able to pull the files from another kindle that has the same firmware. They're back where they're supposed to be. No worries. Also, sorry about the multiple posts. Didn't realize this forum has a delay before the posts show up.

I don't think the script is working correctly yet. The migrate showed = on both sides before i clicked it. After rebooting the = on the side of reboot and migrate didn't go away and the files are still otaupd.bck and otav3.bck

[juliazero]

Ok so now is better than removing them ��

For now rename them to original names, relaunch kual, select block ota updates and click reboot.

Reboot button will be always visible. But migrate button should be hidden.

Within few days I'll test migrate button on my Kindle, now I don't have it unfortunately

Edit:

Yaay I fixed that shi**y button haha.

[bnuuy]

Yup, she works now. Thank you!

It works flawless in my Kindle Scribe 2022 (1st generation), thank you for your work! I disabled amazon logging and OTA updates
