Jailbrak problem on dxg(b009) 2.5.8 [SOLVED]
Hello, I've been having a lot problems to do the hack on a kindle dxg (b009) 2.5.8. I wanted to do the jailbreak, and then install the screensaver hack.
I downloaded a jailbreak version 0.4. When i install it, i do not get the error, i get that everything is okey. Then, i tried to install the screensaver hack kindle-ss-0.44.N.zip, and i get the error U007, that indicates that the e-reader is not jailbroken. I also tried from the wiki:https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...Jailbreak_Hack But when i install the jailbreak kindle-jailbreak-0.12.N.zip , i get an U007 error instead an U006 error. I would appreciate a lot any help, i really want to make it work!! Last edited by rsm; 07-01-2014 at 12:41 PM. |

Where did you get your first links from? o_O.
As for the JB failing, that usually means your device has a semi-broken JB already installed. Get rid of it, restart your device, and try again. |

i got it yesterday from google, but today it seems that they've suspended the Yifan's account.
I made a reset, and tried to re-install the 0.12 but i got the same error. Then i used the Uninstall of the 0.4 ( it failed ), and then i installed the 0.12 but it failed with the U007 as always :/ |

i just upload it: http://www.files.com/set/53b1b176e3a9e
why i can't use the jailbrake 0.4? "the installation seems to be alright" or can't i get an older version of the jailbrake? i remeber that i was able to install it with a previous version, i think that it was the 0.11 but i cant find it :/ Last edited by rsm; 06-30-2014 at 03:23 PM. |

@rsm: Okay, Yifan's version is a tiny bit deprecated now that I got mine to get a bit smarter, but it *should* theoretically work, although I don't recall if it someone actually ever relied on it on FW 2.x, because it's way, way overkill there, and I'm not quite sure the behavior is sound there. (Been a while since I worked on 2.x, feel free to correct me, but that particular bit of Yifan's stuff was primarily aimed at 3.1 & 3.2).
What I can tell you is that you will not, ever, be able to install one jailbreak on top of the other: to avoid utter breakage, both installers are smart enough to detect each other and abort (I don't recall which error code each triggers on that particular FW version though, but it should be made clear in the logs anyway [enter ;dm in the searchbar]). Another thing I remember is that Yifan's uninstaller is slightly broken, in that you actually need to *restart* (as in reboot, not a reset to factory default, or a simple 'go to sleep/wakeup' cycle) to actually get the device back in a sane state. Note that the reverse *might* also be true: you may need to restart the device after the install process to actually 'enable' the JailBreak. Also, due to the nature of how those JB iterations work, handling the uninstall of *both* version of the JB in one single package wasn't a sound decision [and was possibly technically impossible at one point]). So you *need* to use the uninstaller of the very JailBreak you used. And no: using an older version of anything Kindle related in that context (ie. custom stuff) is *never* a good idea, and often a very, very bad one. Last edited by NiLuJe; 06-30-2014 at 05:43 PM. |

Yoy may be right, I got the Yifan's version from a Yifan's website, and he said that the version was for 2.x 3.1 & 3.2 FM. ( as i was looking on google for kindle jailbreake 2.5.8 )
>What I can tell you is that you will not, ever, be able to install one jailbreak on top of the other :S, making a reset doesn't works for "uninstalling a version" ? The problem is that i jailbraked the device but i was having some problems so i did a reset. ( noob problems with usbnet ). and i don't remember the version of the jailbrake. But it would be strange if it stills there, because if that's so Yifan's version would make an error no? ( well, Yifan's version is not working so maybe that's the error haha) I followed your advice about restarting after an install/uninstall but i still stuck as i was before :S I uploaded the logs, as you say they may give useful information, i read them but this is new for me and i have no idea..... [url removed] @Au fait, je ne sais pas si j'arriverai a trouver une solution pour ma kindle mais je te remercie quand meme NiLuJe, c'est grace à vous que les kindles on été liberées

@rsm: No, a reset only clears settings and the userstore (ie. books). It only manages to 'break' some hacks by cutting access to their resources stored in the userstore, but for all intents and purpose, they're still installed. That said, IIRC, a factory reset should *not* affect this specific version of Yifan's JB. It *will* break mine, on the other hand
 .That said, the logs do help! I can see Yifan's JB is still installed, but broken for some reason (you should *NOT* hit a U007 when trying to uninstall it)... I can also see USBNet is there, so that might be your best bet to investigate. Just plop the usbnet folder from the source package in the USB root, and restart your device, that should restore USBNet to its default status. Once you're in, check how messy things are in /etc/uks (you might need a vanilla backup of that, one from any kind of Kindle should do), get rid of yifan's JB (see it's uninstall script), install our key manually (see the 2.5-install script in my JB), and that should do it. |

I added the source directories of usbnetwork and i'm in.
/etc/uks was as uks.disabled, i supposed that the first hailbrake ( i think that it was the version 0.11) did that.. do i still need a backup of /etc/uks? Do you know where could i get the source of the yifan's JB? I only have the uninstall bin :S |

@rsm: What's in the uks (and/or uks.disabled) folder? (post the output from ls). [I don't remember what handled the folder like that, but that certainly wasn't mine].
You can get at the uninstall script from the .bin package with KindleTool, and, at a quick glance, uninstalling should boil down to: Code:
mntroot rw
rm -f /etc/init.d/switch-updates-provider
for RC in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 ; do rm -f /etc/rc${RC}.d/S25switch-updates-provider ; done
HACKNAME="jailbreak"
HOME_DIR="/mnt/us"
KEY_DIR="/etc/uks"
INIT_DIR="/etc/init.d"
SLEVEL="64"
KLEVEL="09"
mv -f "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey01.pem.original" "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey01.pem"
mv -f "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey02.pem.original" "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey02.pem"
rm -f "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey01.pem.hack"
rm -f "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey02.pem.hack"
rm -f "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey01.pem.amazon"
rm -f "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey02.pem.amazon"
rm -rf "$HOME_DIR/updates-provider"
rm -rf "$HOME_DIR/jailbreak"
rm -f "$HOME_DIR/ENABLE_HACK_UPDATES"
rm -f "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey01.hack.pem"
rm -f "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey02.hack.pem"
rm -f "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey01.amazon.pem"
rm -f "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey02.amazon.pem"
rm -f "$INIT_DIR/$HACKNAME"
for RC in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 ; do rm -f "/etc/rc${RC}.d/S25$HACKNAME" ; done
mv "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey01.pem.original" "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey01.pem"
mv "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey02.pem.original" "$KEY_DIR/pubprodkey02.pem"
rm -f $KEY_DIR/pubprodkey01.hack.pem
rm -f $INIT_DIR/$HACKNAME
rm -f /etc/rc5.d/S${SLEVEL}${HACKNAME}
rm -f /etc/rc3.d/K${KLEVEL}${HACKNAME}
mntroot ro
Provided your /etc/uks foler is sane, installing the JB is then as simple as Code:
mntroot rw cat <<EOF > /etc/uks/pubhackkey01.pem -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDJn1jWU+xxVv/eRKfCPR9e47lP WN2rH33z9QbfnqmCxBRLP6mMjGy6APyycQXg3nPi5fcb75alZo+Oh012HpMe9Lnp eEgloIdm1E4LOsyrz4kttQtGRlzCErmBGt6+cAVEV86y2phOJ3mLk0Ek9UQXbIUf rvyJnS2MKLG2cczjlQIDAQAB -----END PUBLIC KEY----- EOF mntroot ro Code:

the uks.disabled folder looks like this
Code:

@rsm: Yay!
Ironically, that uks.disabled folder looks pretty okay, if not for the fact that it's, well, disabled (by not being named correctly) . I don't remember any JB ever handling the keys like that, the only thing I can think of is something *designed* to prevent official updates, which, by design, happens to be in direct conflict with the 3.1/3.2 JB. Does something like that ring a bell?

It is great to finally have the kindle with all the stuff
, even the 3.2.1 update, oh it is great!You made me remember that it was possible me the one who changed the uks folder when i started trying to root my kindle... (some months ago).. should i 'disable it' again? i don't want that amazon touches my kindle! i will root it again and try to remove as much as possible of Amazon...... ------- i didn't check it before, but now ( after the 3.2.1 update ) i'm having some problems to use usbnet, the `usbnetwork command ain't working. This are the usb logs: Code:

@rsm: No! Those devices are pretty much EoL, you really, really don't need to block updates. (And, as you experienced, that is a very, very stupid way to do it).
As for USBNetwork, that's a known issue of the whole 3.x-on-DXg thing. I don't have a clue why that is (it's probably very stupid, but I don't have a DX). The usual recommended workaround is to go through KUAL to toggle it. But on the off-chance that's it's actually working correctly and everyone forgot that the switch in private commands prefix from ` to ~ happened to be in 3.x, try ~usbNetwork instead.
