What package are you trying to install? Because just running the jailbreak does not do anything noticeable. |

The confusion with this jailbeak is that in the past it has been offered, in the same post, with additional features that use the jailbreak and the jailbreak is not a stand alone. And most people don't read "read me" which is a bit sad but true. I think there needs to be a consolidated post that has the full instructions for the jailbreak and the screensaver hack in a sticky. I have jailbreaked multiple devices but I am also confused and will need to spend some time finding all the bits to make it happen.

There are two hacks in the jailbreak post, but it will take a while to make more.

hmmm... this might not be your issue, but when you copy the install.bin file (which, another dumb question but I'm just trying to eliminate everything that *isn't* going wrong for you, you are copying the install.bin and not the uninstall.bin, right?) and you put it in the root folder of the kindle. To install it are you going to the settings menu and then clicking "menu->update your kindle" or are you just restarting it? If I'm not paying attention and just restart my kindle with the file in the root folder it will say that it failed to update the kindle.
For me the processes I did was: 1) Installed jailbreak (Copy jailbreak.mp3 to music folder, run it from the experimental mp3 player) 2) Restart Kindle (jailbreak.mp3 is no longer on my device) 3) Copy install.bin 4) Update my kindle 5) It will restart (install.bin is no longer on my device) 5b) I throw in one last restart for good measure 6) I can now type ;un password PASSWORD_HERE (where you replace PASSWORD_HERE with the password you want to use) 7) Then type ;un At this point I can now freely access the kindle via usb. I know I should be able to do it over wifi too, but I haven't worked out how to get that to work yet Hopefully that helps, sorry if that's *exactly* what you're already doing |

So I had lost my screensavers *again* after trying to mess with the message.mo file in
/usr/share/locale/en/LC_MESSAGES Long story short, for some reason after I edited the file, I needed to uninstall then reinstall the screensaver mod. But now I have my custom screen savers and custom messages to go with the various events! |

Yes, but they may have specifically blocked usbnetwork.

Is the simple usbnet hack install on 5.0.1?
If it will not install, or if it installs but does not work, perhaps ssh can be reinstalled and/or firewall rules adjusted using the runme.sh script. |

I did nothing else than following your README and it worked. No error, no unsuccessful message. I installed the 1.1 usbnetwork, changed the PW liek in the README and it worked. Typed NOT only ;un but ; usbnetwork. Got two error messages running WinSCP I dont't remember, but suddenly the WinSCP Expolrer popped up and I could access the Kindle.
And again, it came out of the box with 5.0.1. I access the KT with WinSCP via USB. |
