Use the 4.0.0 kernel + partition (the mediafire one), it works. @geekmaster: you *really* should remove the kernels which are reported not to work from the list... Last edited by ixtab; 11-12-2012 at 08:43 AM. |

thank you =]
I actually went through all that because I used SSH a long time ago to remove ads, and I forgot what things I changed. so now I couldn't update to 4.1 I figured the best solution would be a fresh kernel... but now instead of going up, I'm stepping down two steps! anyway... I don't know if the kernel 4.0 is the ad version or not, but I still don't feel like anything changed, still ad-less! (the 4.0 kernel solved the problem, now it's a "kindle" again ) But... I'm back to square 1. It still get U006 upon update I removed /opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800_ and /us/screensaver (after mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 to /mnt/base-mmc) what am I missing? should I type a command (like unlinking /mnt/us/screensaver & /base-mmc/opt/.../screen_saver/600x800 or maybe unmounting /dev/mmcblk0p1)? |

4.0.1 removed from the pastebin and complete mirror. We need to wait for qlob to update "Download Mirror #2" to match the pastebin. What other kernels in the pastebin are reported not to work? |

Hard to tell. It could be software writing garbage data to the framebuffer, or it COULD be a broken screen. They often start like that, then a diagonal crack appears after awhile and slowly grows.
Try holding you kindle so that light reflects off the screen, and see if their is an slight change of background tint, that changes with angle to your eyes or to the light source. A crack can be nearly invisible, but still slightly change the surface plane of the glass substrate (often visible by the test I suggested). Good luck. |

How I would test it, is to temporarily connect the screen to another K4, or connect another K4 to that screen. If you are careful, you can put two units back-to-back with the covers off and bend the connector back and plug it into the other kindle PCB connector. I have done it. EDIT: In the mean time, I eventually plan to make broken-screen kindles usable with a framebuffer proxy program (similar to VNC, but much simpler and it will work during debricking). I also want to support "key stuffing", so a damaged kindle can use the LCD and keyboard from a laptop PC. That would even make a non-damaged kindle easier to use in some cases.

Your description seems to be missing the restoration of the original screensavers.
The entire set of commands you should use is posted, with comments on each one. That post is indexed in our pre-fix index. Find it, follow it for the parts that you have not yet done. |

Inside /opt/amazon/.../600x800 I have a file named 600x800 (in addition to the original screen savers) maybe that's not supposed to be there? my Kindle is ad-supported, but I removed the ads completely. That has anything to do with the problem? |
