Re-attaching Kindle after unmount
Hi! Today I found myself in a situation where I wanted to be able to use my Kindle normally, but still have a script be able to push content to the Kindle without user interaction.
The Kindle can be used while plugged into the PC by ejecting it, but I couldn't figure out how to "un-eject" it without unplugging it. Eventually, I figured it out, and I decided to post it for anyone interested. Windows: Spoiler:
Linux: Spoiler:
You're done! I might script this process later, and it could be incorporated into other applications. I also have no idea how this might be accomplished on macOS. Last edited by JJTech; 01-15-2022 at 03:41 PM. |

I leave USBNetwork always enabled on the kindle and use scp to transfer files. No muss, no fuss.

Unfortunately, my Kindle upgraded itself before I was able to apply a jailbreak, so I can't do that.

I found a new way to do it on Windows! This method will allow you to "un-eject" the device even if it was ejected with Explorer!
This method does not require any 3rd party applications, it uses the built-in pnputil. Spoiler:
I’m currently writing a Go wrapper around this, with Linux support, so that you can use it cross platform. Last edited by JJTech; 01-18-2022 at 08:26 AM. Reason: Add note about Go library. |
