Did you run ;debugOn first?
Also these commands are needed to confirm with "Enter" not with "Done".

Umm.... No. Will try after debricking.

aditya3098 · 03-03-2012, 01:35 AM

No, it didn't work. I even tried running /usr/bin/debugOn.sh .

I thought this might be a good place to mention that upgrading from 5.0.0 to 5.0.4 changed the search bar shortcut definition file from a .js to a .json, and moved it to its parent folder. This upgrade included any changes since 5.0.1, so this file may have changed when you upgraded to 5.0.3, and it could affect any hacks that add shortcuts to this file.

I know that (I was the one to put it on the wiki) but atleast the native commands such as "~ds" should work. Also , they used to work with firmware 5.0.3 (5.0.4 does not exist)

Umm, nonexistence is hard to prove, especially when 5.0.4 has existed on my kindle touch for two days now, and at the amazon website a couple of days before that. Are you sure about that?

And why do you say in the thread title that shortcuts do not work in 5.0.3, but then in the above post that shortcuts did work in 5.0.3? Are you saying that something that you installed on YOUR kindle broke YOUR shortcuts?

Also, I have not seen your post about shortcuts at the wiki. Due to the generic nature of keywords used here it would be difficult to search for your post unless it contains your name. Please provide a URL. Thanks.

Okay, so after being bricked for two weeks I flashed on a new forensic p1 they started working again. They are even working after the upgrade to 5.1.0!
