After install Screensaver hack, My jailbroken Kindle Paperwhite bricked
Hi,
I have jailbroken my Paperwhate 3 with the recent LanguageBreak and everything was fine. Today I decided to get rid of the original screensavers and I followed this guide to put 5 screensavers and put a "random" empty file there:https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ht=randomizing After restarted framwork form Kual, Kindle stuck at the starting screen with "randomizing screensavers" text. I can plug USB cable and read the files inside Kindle. And I deleted the "random" empty file but it didn't help. Now it just stuck at the startup loading screen without "randomizing screensavers" text. Anyone coould help please? Edit: After a while, the screensaver images I put into it actually show up. As long as i press power button, it will show the loading screen and get stuck again. Last edited by lowsense; 11-04-2023 at 01:34 PM. Reason: Added some new info. |

Try deleting the actual screensavers, too.
Barring that, try tripping a factory reset (can't remember the exact filename, something like DO_FACTORY_RESTORE, a search should help). The SS hack hasn't been tested on anything that actually supports screensavers natively (I'm probably going to enforce that at the install level). |

I created an empty file named DO_FACTORY_RESTORE and put in the root of Kindle directory. Then I did a hard restart by holding the power button long enough. Kindle restarted with everything reset! Thank you so much for the help! |
