Hello NiLuJe. Usbnetwork installs ok, it says rebooting and in the first screnn it froozed. I waited 5-10 minutes and tried to hard reset and then the screen went white. I fully charged the battery but it didn't changed anything so connected the kindle to the computer and it was recognized so tried SHIFT+SHIFT+N and connected it. Via ssh I typed "reboot" because I dind't know what to do and CHACHAN, it booted perfectly. Usbnetwork log says it is installed. My DX has 2.5.8 firmware and I've installed:
jailbreak 11.N, launchpad, usbnetwork, screensavers and myths. After this I've updated screensavers and everything went fine.
Thanks

@anonimo200: Meaning it froze on the "boy under the tree" screen? What did the progress bar look like?

anonimo200 · 01-20-2013, 02:59 PM

Yes, in that screen, boy under the tree. The progress bar did't move, it was completely white, any change in 5-10 minutes. I tried hard reset and the screen blinked and then froze in white. The strange think is that keypad and usb worked (lucky me :-) )

NiLuJe · 01-20-2013, 03:01 PM

@anonimo200: Huh. Yet another random quirk of the Kindle framework...

anonimo200 · 01-20-2013, 03:22 PM

Then I've to thank you for usbnetwork, it saved my Kindle. I think I'll think twice before updating again ... :-)

NiLuJe · 01-20-2013, 04:16 PM

@anonimo200: Pretty sure a proper hard reboot and/or hard reset would have taken care of it, but but a soft reboot over SSH is way cleaner

.

anonimo200 · 01-20-2013, 04:38 PM

I'm not so sure, I tried pressing the power button more than 15 seconds several times and nothing happened. I thought I'd have to open it and unplug the battery or send it to Amazon (and pay for the rapair). I don't know any other way to reboot the kindle. Are there any other way to do so (I don't know how to do a hard reset or hard reboot)? Just in case I need it in the future (I hope I don't...)
Thank you again, NiLuJe

NiLuJe · 01-20-2013, 04:43 PM

@anonimo200: The Kindle needs to be unplugged. Hold the power button/slider for ~30s for a hard reboot. If you happen to be holding the home button down during the early boot, it will ask you to do a factory reset and enter the recovery mode. (At least for the devices running FW 2.x/3.x).

anonimo200 · 01-20-2013, 04:50 PM

I did so with the kindle plugged, my fault. Maybe (and only maybe) it would have worked. In any case I'm still not sure...
Thanks NiLuJe, and sorry but I can't give you karma, it says I have to give to somenone else before... :-(

NiLuJe · 01-20-2013, 05:11 PM

@anonimo200: Yep, keeping it unplugged is key, since the hard reboot actually cuts the power off for a short while.

Hi guys,
thanks for all the tools for Kindle you've created.

I have some questions about them:

- I installed jailbreak 0.11 and usbnetwork 0.47,
the problem is I don't know how to enable USBnet - I tried entering Diagnostics Mode (ENABLE_DIAGS file in root) - but there's no "U)Utilities" in "N)Misc individual diagnostics"
(I have Kindle 3, B008)
I know I can force it to boot as as Ethernet Over USB by renaming 'DISABLED_auto' file to 'auto', but i'd like to test SSH connection first.

// edit
ok, forget about it
;debugOn
~usbNetwork

worked fine.

- at the moment I have 3.3 firmware, should I update to 3.4? Will I need to jailbreak it again then?

twobob · 01-21-2013, 10:55 AM

The Jailbreak is one file. so meh. yeah why not.

~debugon on the 3 I think... not ;

try just ~un (cant recall when he added the shortcut)
