Fake-register your Paperwhite 5.2.x to use collections and other blocked features

Since the error dump doesn't name the file it is trying to access, I would like to be sure there isn't any other file with an extended attribute set.

With nothing else having an extended attribute set and without the "immutable" flag set I would expect the problem to go away.

One other possible problem -
That permission setting allowing only 'root' to change the contents of the file (chmod 444 and chown root:root).

The error dump says that it is cvm (the hardware assisted, Java VM) that is having the problem, and that **might** be running as the user 'framework' rather than as 'root'.

So if you would help with these additional details, we might be able to figure out how to fake-register the series 5.6.x firmware.

I tried chown framework:javausers, and even chmod 777.
None worked.

What user and group is cvm running as?

If you want to troubleshoot the problem yourself, go right ahead, you don't need us to help you.

If you do want help, then your part is to provide information, since I can't see over your shoulder from here.
I have better things to do than waste my time with someone who refuses to answer specific questions with specific information.

The reginfo file has an additional line in newer firmwares.

So is its works on 5.6.5?

I have a Blacklisted Kindle too.

Did you arrived to a conclusion for FW 5.6.5?
Is there any other simple solution for using wikipedia function without registering?

[e16aasc]

I added this subnet on KV 5.6.5 and after turning on wifi registration remains. But Wikipedia and the translator did not work (stay at "searching..." and "translating..."). Any solution?

Does this fake registration works with firmware 5.7.3?

Read up a few posts to get the link to the changes made recently, then . . . .
Try it and report the results.

So, I must add to reginfo.ini following line
userId=amzn1.account.AELYKWHKYPUES5EHXXXXXXXXXXXX
It is correct?
After this change I can't launch Kindle Launcher. Message: This device is not recognized as Test-Kindle from developer. Please contact developer.

Reboot your Kindle, then try again. MKK should reinstall itself on reboot.

Any time the Kindle detects a deregistration, it removes third-party Kindlet keys, thus requiring a reinstall of MKK.

As shamanNS said, rebooting will reinstall it.

Thanks.
After Reboot and using delivered reginfo.ini it works.
