KV It is possible replace u-boot & uImage ?
Hi !
I spend long time for answer for simple question:
my KV has upgrade to 5.8.10 so I can't downgrade to fw 5.5.0 and jb etc.
But I thinking this happen because newest uboot/uImage blocking update initial fw.
So maybe is possible replace new uboot/uImage with older version exstracted from eg. fw 5.6.5 and downgrade to fw 5.5.0 ??
Do I think right ?

PW3 5.8.10 jb-ed: MRPI keeps destroying some packages
Hi,
I did a severe mistake to reset a newly installed 5.8.10 update.
My PW3 has been jb'ed before and thanks to the great tool "Update_jailbreak_hotfix_1.14_5.8.10_install.b in" the jb has been recovered successfully or so it seems.
When re-installing my extensions I've noticed some are working others not. Python, Usbnet and the dummy packages went flawlessly.
Unfortunately neither the screen saver nor the librariansync package will install and the log file shows this:
Package 'Update_librariansync_1.10_kindle5.bin' (librariansync 1.10 kindle5) is not targeting your device [0KB vs. 11 0F 10 24 1B 1C 1D 1F 20 D4 5A D5 D6 D7 D8 F2 17 60 62 5F C6 13 54 53], skipping.
Do you have a hint what is happening here?

Native Ledger: Command Line Accounting on the Kindle!
Description(from the website):
Ledger is a powerful, double-entry accounting system that is accessed from the UNIX command-line. This may put off some users, as there is no flashy UI, but for those who want unparalleled reporting access to their data, there really is no alternative.
Author: John Wiegley, started in 2003.
Website: ledger-cli.org
Version: 2.6.2-3.1
Porting: Directly extracted from the Debian-Wheezy-Armel repository.
Works on: Should work on all kindles from KT1 onwards. Tested OK on PW1, PW3 and KT3.
Installation: Extract the attached zip(ledger.zip) into /mnt/us/extensions/.
Usage:
After selecting the ledger menu entry in KUAL, a kterm window will open with the library files pre-loaded. Try these commands with the included 'sample.dat' file:
Latest version:
Is 3.1, with more features and a bigger user manual. The Debian-Jessie-Armel port however requires a lot of library files to run on kindles(PW3 onwards). And also has some display distortion problems.

Bricked PW3. Please help.
Hi guys.
I need your help if you could advise me.
I read already many forums and I think the only solution is to connect the pw3 motherboard with usb tty and try to fix it but i just want to confirm that this is the last resort.
My niece`s pw3 was working fine until few days ago when it did not start anymore. It`s about 2-3 years old so it`s out of warranty.
So if the kindle has battery I press the power button the light turns green for 2 sec, the led`s light up and i have a 1 second flash and then it`s stuck on the tree image and the led`s stay on until there is no more battery.
i tried the 40 sec thing with no luck.
When it`s connected to the computer or with the power adapter the light is orange and it`a charging correctly.
Regarding the part where it should show up in the computer or now:
If the kindle is without any battery left like it is now and I plug it in the computer , it starts charging...only the orange light working, no activity from the computer. After about 5min when the battery and the charger finally shows up on the kindle screen the computer recognizes the attached kindle and i see it in diskpart with 0mb. ( tried already with select volume but no luck).
But the thing is after few minutes when the battery is charged enough to start on it`s on, the battery and the charger disappear from the screen, image flashes, the led`s turn on and again the tree screen and the computer doesn`t even shows a device connected anymore.
What are my options?
Is there anything i can try or is the solution with usb tty the only way or i can just throw it in the garbage.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Possible way to downgrade your kindle on 5.8.10
I have a kindle voyage which run on 5.8.10 now, I want to jailbreak it, but found the firmware update_KV_5.5.0_initial.bin always disappear when I disconnect the USB.
So next time I did not to disconnect USB, and long press the power button to let it reboot without disconnect, seems it can flash the firmware, however, it report me ERROR 16 after flash, and it let me reboot to my 5.8.10 without problem.

PW3 manual jailbreak 5.8.10
hello. I am new to this forum and this is my first post.
my kindle is running fw 5.8.10 by default and after some searching I found out that the only way could be serial jailbreak/root. so I opened up my kindle, connected serial pins, removed the root password. annndd.. the part that says copy this files to kindle is confusing? do I just need to copy .pem file to the kindle? or do I have to downgrade? dump new fw?
I sure can do these manually. so someone just tell me what should be done to jailbreak?
