Kindle 3.0.3 jailbreak.

NiLuJe · 10-18-2010, 11:15 PM

Okay. As you may already know, the 3.0.3 update fixed our good old jailbreak exploit.

EDIT/UPDATE: Updated jailbreak released.

Hahaha, what's your next trick, a Kindle 4 jailbreak by Christmas?

Tiersten · 10-19-2010, 12:13 AM

Nothing from me. I've been busy with other things and haven't even downloaded the 3.0.3 update yet.

otaup call external openssl command to verify signatures.

If the openssl process exits with 0,then otaup script will happy to accept it.

So, is it possible to to make a malformed sig file to let openssl exit with 0?

Or use special script file name to bypass openssl?

@lgx: Never experimented with malformed sig file, but I guess you'd have to be *very* tricky, it *is* OpenSSL, after all, and I tend to trust these guys ^^.

And it's called via absolute path, so tricking the script to use something else would be tricky, given that we're on a ro rootfs at that time.

@Chinese/Duokan users: What kind of jailbreak are the Duokan guys using on the K3, anyway?

EDIT: Okay, just looked at the duokan setup. It's basically the same (previous) exploit, used in a slightly different way, tailored to their specific needs (which is installing custom software, not just a single file

).

UPDATE: Released.

Hmm, what if we've jailed breaked with the old version, will updating from 3.0.2 undo the jailbreak, so I then have to rejail break or what?

NiLuJe · 10-19-2010, 05:30 PM

Nope, once it's jailbroken, it's jailbroken, regardless of official updates.

lgx · 10-19-2010, 09:11 PM

I read the source of 3.0.3 jailbreak. It's a so wonderful idea!

Thanks!

Hello everyone and thank you for your great job,

I've got a kindle dx, with a software version 2.5.5 (serial number beginning with B009)
i've tried to jailbreak with an error 003 (with update_jailbreak_dxi_install.bin)

you mentionned about the jailbreak:
v0.4.N:
Works on firmware <= 3.0.3 .

you say that the install FAIL if soft is 2.x, so no pb.

but i've installed too, the usb network, that FAIL too, with the same error.

so i don't understand, because i thought that 2.5.5 was the latest version of amazon soft.

where am i wrong ?

thanks

https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...nd_3.x_Kindles

i've used
update_jailbreak_dxi_install.bin
(thought i = internationnal)
but i've got a graphite dx, so i will use
update_jailbreak_dxg_install.bin
soon

thanks

that's working very well !

i've too configured before g:/kindle/usbnetwork/info with the good IP

under vista, the driver "RNDIS / Ethernet Gadget" is not found

but under ubuntu, you've just to configure /etc/network/interfaces
with (my lan is 71, it is usually 1) :

allow-hotplug usb0
mapping udev
script grep
map usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.71.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.71.0
broadcast 192.168.71.255

and after:

ifdown usb0 (usefull sometimes)
ifup usb0
ssh 192.168.71.10

hope that helps !

How exactly would I update Kindle firmware for a jailbroken kindle? I'm gonna guess that I can't just simply use stock updates. This is the only thing stopping me from jailbreaking my Kindle 3.
