help setting up usb networking
Hi all, sorry for the noob question, but I have successfully jailbroken my kindle 3 wifi (SO), as well as installed the usb networking hack, but I find the readme to be a bit confusing. I am trying to remove the ads as described here, but it is unclear to me exactly how to configure USB networking. Can someone please post a step-by-step walkthrough of this process, or point me to where there is already a clear explanation. Thanks in advance.

This web post broke my n00b bubble awhile back.

FWIW, I have no objection to my Kindle having special offers...I just want to be able to install custom screensavers, so if anyone has a method for this which will keep the special offers enabled, please let me know, thanks. BTW I am on Ubuntu linux.

That doesn't make much sense...
You want to keep the special offers enabled BUT you want your own screensavers. The two statements are contradicting each other, yes? |

well, possibly. My point was that I have no qualms with the banner ads at the bottom of the homescreen, nor do I have a problem with the "view special offers" section accessed through the menu. I just want to be able to have custom screensavers. Whether or not the actual special offers remain is of little consequence to me.

If you're so averse towards the ads, perhaps you should exchange for a normal Kindle. Although you can remove the ads yourself, I don't think anyone here will be too eager to help you rip Amazon off. |

Point number 2: The kindle was a gift...I would have bought the non-KSO version. |

If you are looking for a fair way to 'upgrade' your Kindle, you could find someone who has a normal Kindle who is interested ads and swap serial numbers (Yifanlu has stated that this works). Perhaps you could even throw in $25 to convince them. I know there are at least some people who are interested in this. I, for one, am. Unfortunately, I don't have any friends with a KSO who are willing to trade. Last edited by kranu; 07-07-2011 at 06:58 PM. |

(This is not just sarcasm...you make a valid point, however I do disagree on the fact that I am ripping off amazon, but I am weary and don't feel like beating a dead horse.) |

I'm glad that you've decided to stop the war. If you'd like, we can continue the argument over a private message, so as to not disturb others.
Have you considered my idea of switching serial numbers? |

The IP address may be different depends on the version of the hack, check the "readme" file that comes with the hack. |
