Stuck on diagnostics screen

theheavenrush · 06-20-2014, 02:14 PM

I was trying to change my screensaver and now it won't get off the screen..

I used usb mode to delete the ENABLE_USAGE file but it still won't remove.

I've browsed this forum but it doesn't make much sense to me
Please help?

First stupid question: What the hell does going into diags has to do with screensavers?

Second: Check the wiki for the K4 Jailbreaking instructions, the getting out of diags part is covered there.

I have seen some articles posted on the 'net (from the early years of the Kindles) that describe changing the screensaver files from the diags partition.

@knc1: Yup, that's what I was afraid of

. IIRC, I even have a 'kill-it-with-fire' package attached somewhere for exactly that purpose (after people started wondering why official updates failed after doing that) ^^.
