not working

notimp · 02-05-2016, 06:02 PM

Jailbreak worked here as well.

On a device (serial number prefix) it already was confirmed working on.

I used

Code:

sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80

on OSX btw - no problems.

If you are by any chance using tomato on your router, just use

Code:

address=/a/192.168.x.x

as a Dnsmasq Custom configuration under Advanced / DHCP/DNS

replace 192.168.x.x with the IP address of the computer running the port 80 server.

Also dont forget to manually type ;fc-cache in the searchbar, when the task bar tells you to. Stumped me the first time...

First of all, thanks to @Branch Delay for this extremely well done jb, i can confirm that it works on a 2013 PW2 2gb 90D4 series, tried it on windows, but kinda of a headache to make it work through netsh hostednetwork, switched to ubuntu and worked like a charm.

Any reason why https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=195474 SS hack doesn't work with this jailbreak? (update your kindle is greyed out for both the python and the hack itself copied over to root dir)

Kual does work.

Same reason as for the 5.6.x firmware -
You **MUST** use MrPI to install packages, no choice, you **MUST**.

Did you put the file named: jb in the root of your Kindle's USB storage (right next to documents folder where you put your books)?

Thank you! Will I lose my current hacks if I update to the newer firmware now?

Yes I did, but I think the problem is that I didn't do anything with web servers since I didn't know what that meant. The terminal commands in this thread didn't seem to work.

So far I have only moved the jb file in my kindle volume. Then tried to enter the IP address you provided.

To make "a" redirect to your IP address, what should I do? (If that is the missing step) I can't seem to figure out the web server part/redirecting

I am entering my router's setting on my browser to see if I can make some change there

That is the missing step.

Tell me what path (and devices) your Kindle passes through in your local set-up to reach the Internet.

Note: You can't use a public Wifi access point, it must be one under your control.

Quick question - I just got a notification on the Kindle itself stating that "this is not a developer device anymore - please contact the developer for further information", also Kual wouldnt lauch after that (in that session).

After a reboot Kual launches again. Was this a known behavior? Should I be worried? (I'm not especially...

)

CalbertAmu · 02-05-2016, 06:45 PM

Kindle connects to the my router, which is connected to the modem. It is my own private wifi. I am currently viewing my router's web-based setup page, but haven't found a redirecting option so far.

Known behavior.
Installing the MKK keys (required by KUAL, done by the Jailbreak) requires a reboot.

@knc1: Thank you.

So after I have a working SS hack & Kual can I just install the 5.7 firmware without losing anything?
