Troubleshooting PW4 stuck on "Register"

Micael Jarniac · 08-20-2020, 12:02 PM

Hi! I've just jailbroken my Kindle Paperwhite 4 (10th Gen), and everything went well.

It was on the FW 5.13.1, I did the things, and after jailbreaking, I went back to FW 5.13.1.

Everything seems well, I installed the screensaver hack thingy and all, but the problem I'm having is that, when I tried to complete the "Set Up Your Kindle" thing, after it asking me if I wanted to be texted a link for the app, it got stuck on a blank screen, small title "Register" on top, and sometimes a loading wheel on the corner.

The only way I could find to get out of it was to hold the power button and press "Restart", which, after rebooting, got me back at Home.

I do, then, see my Amazon books and all, so it is registered, but I do still see the "Set Up Your Kindle" entry in my library.

Opening it takes me back to the "text you the app" page, and skipping that goes back to the "Register" page, and I have to reboot again.

I haven't found any side-effects of this, but it's at least annoying to be stuck with that "Set Up Your Kindle" entry in my library.

There seems to be the option to remove that shortcut when long-pressing it, so I'll try that later.

Yeah, removing it on the long-press options worked.

Now I gotta figure out how to get rid of the "kindle feedback" one!

No you can't. It's a feature of the hotfix on 5.12 and above.

What was it supposed to be for? I tried opening it but it just shows "opening..." for a second and nothing happens.

Maybe a guy at Amazon got something?

OK, a bit of theory here

The hotfix needs to set the flag PRE_GM_DEBUGGING_FEATURES_ENABLED__REMOVE_AT_GMC to keep jb alive.
