Help! Losted menu button after update!!!

Arhim · 09-07-2014, 12:08 PM

Hello!

I have Kindle Paperwhite 1 gen

I had 5.3.6 Firmware with Jailbreak and Kual Extensions + Replace Store Button

I Upgraded to 5.4.4.2 from Amazon Link for 1 gen
After Reboot Amazon`s Store Button and Menu Button are missing

i made empty file "DO_FACTORY_RESTORE" in the usb drive and rebooted
after it - nothing help me and now Jailbreak is missed too!

please, help me call system menu via serach_box or force update after reboot like "DO_FACTORY_RESTORE" or something - it is the last chance for me. I can not apply *.bin files !!!

i clicked on every corners of screen - but now i am without Jailbreak and without menu button !!!

That's... weird. I'll look at the KUAL button thing again, but AFAIR, a full update should pretty much obliterate it without breaking anything...

As for your current predicament, instead of clicking "Update our Kindle", which you can't, just let it go to sleep, the update should run automatically after some time (i.e., exactly like how you get silent official updates, except you're the one providing the files).

Once you get SSH running again, just restore a sane /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/javascripts/search_bar.js

EDIT: Also, double posting is evil

Read my previous answers. You can install stuff by letting the idle ota timeout pick it up.

You can downgrade your kindle w/o need for the settings menu. You can find it here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...34#post2915534 (use a bin file for PW1 )

Try downgrading and reupgrading. There should be a link on the jailbreak thread for forcing a downgrade on 5.4.4.2 (which IIRC is when Amazon started blocking their updates being used to downgrade the firmware).

Hopefully this will fix it as it contains a full system image. Unless that file is in a different partition? Either way downgrading will give you the opportunity to reapply the jailbreak, carry it over to the new firmware, and reinstall hacks including USBNetwork.
