PW3 accidentally restarted device with custom xorg.conf, now stuck on spinny tree

≫ Next: PW2 Pull new screensaver from net on power on?

So I had these 3 files modified
/etc/xorg.conf
/etc/upstart/x.conf
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/cursor.pcf

I accidentally ran `reboot`, instead of `restart x`.

Now I'm stuck on the tree image, with the spinny circle.

It mounts USB just fine.

I don't know if it is doing a file system repair, or if X won't start, or something else.

The next thing for me to do is put the file 'DO_FACTORY_RESTORE' on the root, and start all over from scratch, right?

How long do you all suppose I should wait before doing that?

Hello.

My grandfather needs to check some data daily. This is proving very hard for him as he gets older. I would like to modify a Kindle that would help him with this task.

Would it be possible to mod the kindle PW2 (or can buy some other version) so that it wakes up every 4 hours, pulls an image from the internet, sets it as screensaver and then turns off.

Or alternatively when the power-on button is pressed it pulls the image, sets it as screensaver and shuts off?

Is this possible to do? Where can I start? Any good resources to check? I can program but no idea on what is possible and what not on the kindle nor how to setup a dev env for the kindle...

I think this use case would be good for other people too, so maybe it laready exists?

Thank you for all ideas and advice in advance :)

≪ Previous: PW2 Pull new screensaver from net on power on?

I have managed to create a possibly unique issue with my 3rd Generation Kindle while upgrading it to the new 3.4.2 system. It's a B006 device with Free 3G + WiFi, which is why I'm hesitant to just walk away.

I started this morning at version 3.2.1, and successfully installed version 3.3 per Amazon's instructions. Then, like a doofus, I accidentally installed the 3.4 version for the B008 devices. Unfortunately, that actually worked, but post-installation, the device won't recognize either of the updates for 3.4.2. The "Update Your Kindle" option is greyed out not matter which .bin file I drop in there.

Have I completely hosed myself or is there a way to hack my way out of this? Any bright ideas?

Hi all. I'm new here, but it looks like a great thing you all have going! Anyway, I'd like to bounce an idea off of all of you Kindle experts and see if you think it sounds reasonable (i.e., can the Kindles handle this).

Basically, I'm hoping to be able to hack a bunch of Kindle Touches to run a full screen web app (custom written for the kindle) on batteries for about 11 hours a day (screen saver/sleeping turned off). 95% of the time during the 11 hour time period, the Kindle would act as a refreshing informational display. Once a minute (ideally...but can be every 5 minutes if necessary to save batteries), the Kindle would contact a local web server to get information and do a cpu-lite refresh of its display. The other 5% of time there will be user interaction with the web app. Nothing computationally expensive, but during this time there would be some wifi traffic and page loads.

So question #1 is do you think that 11 hours is a reasonable-to-expect battery life? I could determine the answer to that question by making a dummy web app to try and mimic the approximate amount of cpu/screen refreshing that the real app would have, but if you all already know that my expectations are clearly reasonable or clearly unreasonable, that would save me a step. I have a feeling my expectations may be borderline here (and thus might have to test to be sure). Please let me know!

Batteries aside, I know I could write the web code needed and think I can handle enhancing K5 WebLaunch in way to make the software actually run on the Kindle with the desired additional features. However, I don't know what I don't know about the Kindle platform as a whole, if that makes sense. If you could give me some heads up on things I should be aware of--gotchas or pitfalls for this type of application--that would be awesome, and please consider that question #2.

Finally, regarding enhancing WebLaunch, which I just mentioned, that leads to question #3: anybody see any obvious issues to me eventually being able to figure out how to add the following functionality?
- Ability to launch the app so you hold the kindle in an upside down orientation.
- Ability to either block or (even better) remap the home button.
- Ability to play sounds. (In my case, a short "ding" type clip to attract attention to the display a couple of times an hour.)
My rudimentary understanding is that there are Pillow/LIPC calls that could be used to make those happen, right?

Thanks in advance, and apologies for the long post! If you're curious as to what all of this would be used for, check the spoiler. *I* think it is something cool.

Spoiler:

Basically we run tournaments for this cool board game (semi-random picture from a recent event):

The tables would usually be full (this was a slow time), but you get the idea. Picture several dozen people playing that miniatures game simultaneously. Each individual board/map would have one kindle next to it in a stand and would perform the following functions to help us run the tournament.

list the map number of that station
at the start of a round, every kindle would list the pairings for all maps ("Player A vs Player B on map 1", "Player X vs Player Y on map 2"). You consult any kindle at the beginning of the round find out where to go/play for that round.
provide information about the details of the current round in the tournament (time limits and such, who is playing at this station),
provide certain useful game-related reference information plus details about the map the players have in front of them (e.g., allowed areas on that map where they can place their armies at the start of the game, etc.),
provide a timer for how much time remains in the current round
provide browseable tournament result information (for following along how other friends are doing during downtime if you finish your game early)
would be what the players use to send the results of their game (who won and some other details) back to those of us running the tournament. The game results would then be used to determine correct Swiss style pairings for the next round of tournament, eventually leading to identifying our winners.
provide a button to call a referee over for a question or ruling
might (this is lower priority) also be used to register yourself for the various tournaments we run through the day (you have to provide information on what figures you are using in your army and it could check to make sure it meets the requirements for the rules of a particular tournament). The idea behind this last one is that there is time between one tournament finishing and the other starting. Players could just grab any available Kindle and register themselves instead of us (the organizers) doing it at our main computer, which is a bottleneck.

The above system, if it works, feels pretty slick to me. It would help with getting game information recorded accurately and round/map information distributed quickly and widely. Depending on the tournament format, games getting called on time (running too long) can be an issue and when there is a lot of that, it threatens to make the schedule slip. Finishing one round on time and getting the new set of parings determined swifty (which this whole system would REALLY help with) helps things run on time which makes everyone (players and organizers) happier.

BTW, we're all just fans of the game. Nobody is making money on this. I have the chance for a screaming deal on the Kindle Touches so hope to determine if this is feasible pretty quickly while I can still get the deal. Even with the deal this will still be pretty pricey to put into play since we're talking about a lot of Kindles.

Does this hack exist? I did some searching here but couldn't find anything.

What I want to do is remap the pinch gesture so that it controls the backlight brightness, rather than changing the font size.

If that's not possible, I'd at least like to turn off the pinch gesture entirely, so that I don't accidentally resize the text anymore.

≪ Previous: Booklet version of KUAL and gawk

Hey folks, I've been a longtime lurker on these forums. Over the years my Kindle 2, international has become a monster of mods and jailbroken patches. I suspect because I have no backups of these files I'm not gonna get any answers I would want to hear, but I'm hoping someone smarter than me might have a good idea for this one.

So here's the situation:

1) I have a kindle 2, international jailbroken
2) It's running on kindle version 3.2.1 that I updated at some point
3) With the security patch that came out in March, it wouldn't auto download over night so I knew I would have to manually do it, which is where I'm at now

This gets even trickier because I'm sure I broke something at some point where I no longer even have the kindle detected by windows, but I can still putty into it and transfer/wget files. It also seems like the security update is just an update to the cacerts file.

Here's what I'm wondering, is it possible still for me to revert out of all the ugly changes I did to the kindle and get it back to stock to try and get that security update in place? Or alternatively, would it be as simple as asking for someone elses cacerts file or does that contain information that is different per device? Or option 3, im way of base and I should just give up? I tried throwing the Kindle Services Update which belongs to software version 2.5.8 but as expected it complained on restart (i suspect because im running 3.2.1).

Any help would be great, any brains out there have some ideas for me to try? I'm open to half fixes, basically the ideal scenario is I get the security patch installed.

Jailbroke fine. Had KUAL and all extensions working fine. I was trying to test out the Coward's Rescue Pack by rebooting while plugged in. Now the Oasis is stuck in Diagnostic Mode. I SSH'd in and created "DISABLE_DIAGS" file in /mnt/us. Nothing. "Exit Reboot" and "Exit Disable" loop back. It seems like the Diagnostics are trying to do something because every minute or so the screen flashes.

Suggestions?

Aside: It did seem to glitch when I initially did a Restart while plugged in. The Kindle hung. After initiating a Restart it did nothing so I touched the Home icon, it turned black but locked up. I had to use the Power button to Power Cycle it. It came back in Diagnostic mode. Now here I sit...

Hello every one, I'm new here and this is my first post I hope that you enjoy.:2thumbsup

A month ago I got my Kindle touch 7 generation (AKA KT2), since I saw that the device have a python environment I start to seek an PyQt environment to program or port some PyQt aplications whithout results.

For the people who don't know QT if an amazing framework for GUIs an have other tools for networking databases an others and PyQt is a wrapper tho allow use QT in Python.

Then I decided to do it my self, but the task was hard because I did not haven experiences developping for thes devices, after days of study and asking for some people I make the environment work.

Using the PyGTK environment in http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...0&postcount=38

I add the Qt librarys an the PyQt librarys from the Debian armel repository, modify the scripts to set up the environment. In the PyQt applications is important to put the magic string in the windows title to see the application.

To install the environment you must have install KUAL launcher, then extract the zip on the extension folder then you will see the menu "PyQt APPs" in KUAL for now this will run a example application in PyQt, if you have installed the kterm in your Kindle thet you can prove the text editor example application ported to Kindle stored in /mnt/us/extension/python/runitPyQt.sh

I did't tied on other devices. If work in others devices please notify us

PW3 OTG Keyboard Support - in progress

August 27, 2016, 12:26 am

≫ Next: Kindle 3 WiFi - Disable Amazon Updates / Removal of MKK Developer Keys

≪ Previous: Tools Python + PyQt enviroment for Kindle & PaperWhite devices.

Objective

*Full USB OTG keyboard support so that my kindle can be used as a long-lasting outdoor writing device.

Status

*work in progress

Current (known) problems

* xorg modifications are not preserved when I #killall -s KILL x && restart x
* external battery does not power the hub, so writing time will be shortened

Hardware/software

Kindle PW3, FW 5.8.1
Jailbroken following knc1's post
KUAL
USB OTG Mouse support by lucida and team
uGreen Powered USB OTG hub
Storm Quickfire Rapid non-LED keyboard
10000mA battery

Setup

Installing lucida's Kindlet was simple and straightforward - put the decompressed files in /mnt/us/extensions/

From the KUAL extension, I started the OTG module/service

Checking that the modules were added to recognize the device:

Code:

#lsmod

...

mousedev                9072  1

usbhid                 18029  0

hid                    67608  1 usbhid

I plug the power into the hub & turn it on; plug the hub into the kindle & see the blue led light up; and plug the keyboard into the hub.

Next to verify that the OS sees the device:

Code:

#dmesg | grep -i input

[  263.772366] input: CM Storm QuickFire Rapid keyboard as /devices/platform/fsl-ehci.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/1-1.4:1.0/input/input2

[  263.773820] generic-usb 0003:2516:0004.0001: input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [CM Storm QuickFire Rapid keyboard] on usb-fsl-ehci.0-1.4/input0

[  263.819798] input: CM Storm QuickFire Rapid keyboard as /devices/platform/fsl-ehci.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/1-1.4:1.1/input/input3

[  263.828242] generic-usb 0003:2516:0004.0002: input: USB HID v1.10 Device [CM Storm QuickFire Rapid keyboard] on usb-fsl-ehci.0-1.4/input1

everything is registered properly, so I verify that input will work:

Code:

#evtest /dev/input/input2



List of supported events i.e. keys I can press

Testing ... (interrupt to exit) 

Q

Event: time 1472263694.041622, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 70014

Event: time 1472263694.041639, type 1 (Key), code 16 (Q), value 1

Event: time 1472263694.041647, -------------- Report Sync ------------

Event: time 1472263694.138610, type 4 (Misc), code 4 (ScanCode), value 70014

Event: time 1472263694.138623, type 1 (Key), code 16 (Q), value 0

Event: time 1472263694.138629, -------------- Report Sync ------------

ctrl C

Looks good.

Next Steps

I suspect the easiest path is to simply create a custom xorg.conf file that defines this input device as a keyboard.
*But, will that function in xterm? Presumably yes, but I'm not entirely positive

So, following in the path of coplate, but with further instructions from knc1 I:

Code:

#cat /etc/xorg.conf > /var/local/xorg.conf.project

and added the appropriate input device sections to my new xorg.conf.

Next:

Code:

# mount -o bind /var/local/xorg.conf.project /etc/xorg.conf

#killall -s KILL Xorg

#restart x

And my shiny new xorg? Well, the bind mount didn't stick, and the device reverted to the old code.

Also, the external battery doesn't stay on when just the keyboard is connected to the hub, so there is a slightly higher drain on my kindle battery than I'd like. Not sure where to start with that one. I've tried two different hubs, same thing happens with both. The external battery does not shut off when directly charging the kindle, so I suspect it is some sort of a 'very low amperage' shutoff mechanism.

Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated as I continue to tinker on this. I created a separate thread, as I didn't want to hijack lucida's (which seems to have a different end goal), but I'll merge this if that's the etiquette/most useful idea here here.

Kindle 3 WiFi - Disable Amazon Updates / Removal of MKK Developer Keys

August 29, 2016, 5:45 am

≫ Next: Kindle 3 sysvinit scripts

≪ Previous: PW3 OTG Keyboard Support - in progress

I have a kindle 3 WiFi, running firmware 3.4.2.

I recently updated it to the latest firmware, jailbroke it, and installed a ton of mods (MKK, Launchpad, KUAL, USB networking, Backdoor Lock, MyTs terminal, GNU awk, Fonts & Screensaver hacks, and Liberator).

Launchpad and KUAL were both working great until I rebooted with wifi enabled. Amazon seem to have removed the developer keystore in /var/local/java/keystore/developer.keystore that was installed with MKK, and now KUAL won't run. I can still run MyTs with Launchpad.

This happened with the backdoor "locked" using the backdoor lock hack.

I have had some success re-updating/installing MKK to get the developer keys back, but whatever Amazon is doing means it gets removed again on the next reboot if wifi is on. Moving the keys that are used to verify firmware updates (mv /etc/uks /etc/uks.disabled) has no effect either, so I guess it's some other process that removes the keys.

A lot of people seem to be just keeping the wifi off to prevent things like this from happening. I could do that, but then the kindle would be a lot less useful - my eventual plan is to set up calibre on my server to scrape news sites, and write a script to download the news ebook from my server every day... which requires wifi to be on! I don't want to use a cable.

Plus, I find this really annoying on principle - this is my device, not Amazon's.

Any solutions? I don't mind something that breaks Amazon's other services (in fact I'd prefer that, I'd like to de-couple the device from Amazon as far as possible).

I was thinking that if the device is downloading something from Amazon and running it or installing it, I might change the /etc/hosts file and resolve requests to the relevant hostnames to 0.0.0.0. Presumably the hostnames would be these ones:

Code:

# grep http /opt/amazon/ebook/config/framework.fiona.conf

BASE_WEBSITE_URL: http://www.amazon.com

CERT_SERVER_URL : https://fras-g7g.amazon.com/FrasProxy/

REGISTER_SERVER_URL : https://firs-g7g.amazon.com/FirsProxy/

TODO_SERVER=https://todo-g7g.amazon.com/FionaTodoListProxy/

CDE_SERVER=https://cde-g7g.amazon.com/FionaCDEServiceEngine/

Anyone else know how to prevent this from happening without sacrificing wifi? I'm comfortable with solutions that require terminal work (linux user on the desktop and server for >3 years).

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!

≪ Previous: Kindle 3 WiFi - Disable Amazon Updates / Removal of MKK Developer Keys

I have installed optware on my kindle 3, which works fine when I manually mount the filesystem, but I'd like to automount it at startup.

The wiki page (http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Optware) has an init script (/etc/init.d/optmount), which I've copied here for reference:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

 

 _FUNCTIONS=/etc/rc.d/functions

 }

 

 case "$1" in

         start)

                 mount_us

                 ;;

         stop)

                 umount_us

                 ;;

 

         restart|force-reload)

                 :

                 ;;

         *)

         msg "usage: /etc/init.d/$NAME {start|stop}" W >&2

                 exit 1

                 ;;

 

 esac

 

 exit 0

The script works fine when I run it manually, but I'd like to run it at startup. The wiki says:

Quote:

Once done, create the appropriate sysvinit symlinks under /etc/RcS.d (Startup), /etc/Rc6.d (Restart) and /etc/Rc0.d (Shutdown)

I've created these symlinks:

Code:

ln -s /etc/init.d/optmount  /etc/rc.d/optmount

ln -s /etc/init.d/optmount  /etc/rc6.d/optmount

ln -s /etc/init.d/optmount  /etc/rcS.d/optmount

But the filesystem doesn't get auto-mounted when I reboot. My first thought was to change options in /etc/fstab to ...,auto,nofail, but I don't think that will work because the "filesystem" is a file on /mnt/us, so it has to be mounted after the internal storage...

Do I have to name the symlinks in /etc/rc*.d/ differently so that the names match the option I want to use (start, stop, restart) like how the symlinks reboot, shutdown, poweroff all point to systemctl in distros with systemd as init system, and the name the program was called as is used as the argument? Or do all of the scripts in those folders get called with additional options anyway?

Can anyone give me a pointer in the right direction? Any more information about the init process on Kindle would be great too, I'd love to learn it in detail. I've been running linux on the server for >3 years but never looked into sysvinit, despite the switch to systemd you still find it everywhere in embedded devices.

I have recently upgraded my Kindle PW2 to the latest firmware, having previously kept it backdoor-locked for a little over two years now (I'm starting uni soon, and I want the device to have the latest security patches, conformant with the IT policy, before I go) . I tried hotfixing from the get-go, but it seemingly rejected the hotfix (deleted it before I had a chance to install it) - hence I resorted to hotfixing afterward.

So, after installing MRPI, I installed the update from the Amazon website over USB. KUAL initially complained of a lack of MKK, but started working after I installed the hotfix. kterm didn't work until I installed the version for the newer firmware.

Now trying mntroot gives me (between feedback from the script itself) "mount: only root can do that". su gives me "su: must be suid to work properly" which would seem to defeat the object somewhat, and whoami gives me "framework".

Is this expected or did I mess up somewhere?

Select "Device Info"

Find that this is a White KT3 (which is nice, it is what I ordered) model: G0 00KA
And the above dance was performed by firmware version: 5.8.1.1 (2987430003)

Note that UYK was a member of the menu that held the "Device Info" choice.

Allow it to finish charging, it will eventually go to the screen saver mode.
The little yellow light will turn green when it is done.

≪ Previous: Hardware White KT3, G0 00KA

Hello, I'd like to play around with 1 bit mode on my K3 Keyboard, but I am having difficulty figuring it out. Is the below possible with K3 Keyboard (3.3 )? I'd love to try NoRefresh on VNC via my K3.
