There is one area of the file system that you can see when connected to a pc - the place where you put your books.
Everything else about the software that runs the machine is outside of that view. Putting software onto the machine, in the part that you can't see, requires the use of cryptographically signed packages. Amazon only ships the Kindles with their own crypto certificate installed. The "jailbreak" for the Kindles installs an additional crypto certificate so that software packages not provided by Amazon may be installed. With the recent advent of the version 5.3 firmware for the Kindle Paperwhite (Kpw) it has become a bit more than just installing our customization certificate, but the principle remains. |

Hmmm. More investigation will be required. |

So could someone explain the next steps after this jailbreak to complete the screensaver override? That's the piece I miss.

Hello.
I have done the jailbreak by the following method: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=186645 My question is, can I update my paperwhite directly to 5.3.1 version?, or should I have remove jailbreak before update... Thanks ;-) |

I highly recommend to re-apply the jailbreak once you're on version 5.3.1. This will make sure that all the required files are in place, even if the firmware update wiped them. |

The screensaver hack isn't working for me (update is greyed out) so can I assume that the kindle has been correctly jailbroken? I did the press on the left corner on that document and it said my kindle was being liberated etc, but maybe it hasn't worked?

Cross posting to multiple threads here is a good way to be ignored.
