Jailbroke lost...
I already jailbroke my kindle a year ago (5.1?),
It has KUAL and the backdoor activated... but after several months I activated the wifi... and amazon installed the last firmware... AGAIN! (I losted las JB for the same reason) So, a couple of question: 1. if I create the folder "update.bin.tmp.partial" it will prevent it? (backdoor hacks doest work) 2. If I reinstall the JB file via update (as previous version) will it work? Thanks in advance! --- Should I do this? https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...postcount=1597 "ATTN: silent 5.6.x update victims running an outdated JailBreak"? Ill try it in a few hours!

2) No 3) Yes You will have to install MrPI if you want to add any of our packages. It wouldn't hurt to update KUAL also. See: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=225030 Last edited by knc1; 01-13-2016 at 02:02 PM. |

@MrCaringi: The battery tweak is broken on FW >= 5.6.5.
As for the rest, we're going to need more details than "doesn't work". The simple fact that MrPi successfully installed stuff is a good start, though. (If it actually did). |

I was reading others topics, and it seems like the lack of "JAILBREAK" message could mean JB already working. So, lets start from the beggining: Some data showed by KUAL: -- Kual v2.6 (20150819,a)*PW2 -- Device: PW2 Wifi US&Int Platform: wario Board: pinot rev.34 Device Code: D4 FW: 5.6.5 (2730300038) -- Ok, Im trying to get back the SS Hack Working this way: NOTE: Linkss folder already exist because previous installation. I followed this topic: Snapshots: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=225030 Follow SS hack post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88004 So, I put the content of "kindle-python-0.14.N-k4.zip" (Update_python_0.14.N_k4_install.bin) and the content of "kindle-ss-0.47.N.zip" (Update_ss_0.47.N_k4_install.bin) in the folder "D:\mrpackages" 1. Its bad idea to install both package in one run? unplug open KUAL go to "Helper+" select "instal MR packages" pluged kindle again: I put MY screen saver at "D:\linkss\screensavers" (758x1011 png images), in the "D:\linkss" are these files (without mentioning the folders): -auto -cover -info.txt (only this file has a size > 0 KB) -mounted_ss_tmpfs -mounted_tmpfs -pinfo -verbose restart kindle from settings menu, (didnt see any mesage about SS Hack when booting like the first time I installed a year ago), open a book (Eragon ), read a couple o page, push sleep button and... nothing happens. Any ideas? --- UPDATE: I try this way: 1. Erase LINKSS and PHYTON folder first: 2. Putting phyton and SS hack installation file at "D:\mrpackages" 3. Installing via KUA \ helper + 4. TADA!!! no LINKSS nor PHYTON folder exist on root... so... MRPI doesnt work? Last edited by MrCaringi; 01-13-2016 at 06:17 PM. Reason: being more especific. 2: a New try. |

Then pay attention to what MrPi is outputting during the package install, but I'm guessing incomplete JB.

OK, I read the hot fix post (again, again, again...)
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...postcount=1597 And repeat the process: 1. put the file: 2. Check if I got the proper device for the file: 3. Update via settings menu 4. watching the output: Didnt see the ***JAILBREAK*** message... Officially: I dont have any idea what to do next... |

@MrCaringi:
Good news: your JB is okay, which is why you don't see anything when re-applying the hotfix . Good news²: You're trying to install K4 packages, which is why it's not working . You have a PW2 . cf. the S/N list for the gory details. FYI: When MrPi says it's destroying the package, that's because you're doing something wrong . Here, because it didn't match your device. |

does anyone know where the tap for power is on the k4? I've successfully jail broken a voyage, and I have found the serial connections in another forum, but there is no mention of where they tapped power from on the k4.

What power? Better question: What adapter are you using? Usually the adapter is powered by the USB side of the adapter. Some adapters require an interface reference voltage from the serial side - but only some. Note: Update your info box - it only mentions a PW-2, no mention of the K4 or KV. Dumb question: Why do you need a serial port on a K4? The K4 does not require use of the serial port to either jailbreak or de-brick. Last edited by knc1; 01-24-2016 at 08:13 PM. |
