PW3 Kindle Paperwhite 3 jailbreak/KUAL/extensions difficulties

Hello to you all,

I bougt a Kindle Paperwhite 3 in 2016 and did jailbreak at the time. S/N G090 G105...

I had for long an old firmware 5.6.5 but I wanted to update.
As I read in the forum it could be dangerous to update directly, i updated to 5.9.7 and then to 5.10.2, which I have at the moment, the most recent one.

I tried to run KUAL then, and it gave an error. So after extensive reading, i found the hotfix, put the bin of the JailBreak-1.15.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.zip in the root and updated the kindle. After that I ran the ;log mrpi after putting soem package there that I unfortunately don't remember.

In the end I can run KUAL from search bar.

I have two icons, the KINDLE LAUNCHER and KUAL without icon. The first one doesn't run, the send does and opens KUAL.

The thing is, i have several extension but i can't run none. Nothing happens. it crashes to the homescreen.
It lists KUAL+, 3DMaze, Ataxx, calculator, Helper+, kindlelazy, launch sudoku, screen savers and usb network.
I can explor ethe KUAL menus, but when they should do something, they only crash.

So as I am very confused, can you please help identifying which steps I'0m missing or missed?

I don't have any trouble doing resets or deleting everything if needed.

-Is the jailbreak intact? Is it OK? Does it neeeds some updates?
-Running KUAL proves that jailbreak it's ok or it might run only some parts?
-is the problem extensions related that might not run in this new firmware? Can you please point me one extension that runs on 5.10.2 PW3? Soemthing that does anything different so I can confirm jailbreak+KUAL are ok?

:thanks::help:

K4 K4NT - Help with Picture Frame

K4NT
4.1.1 (1813030025)

Firstly sincere apologies for my complete lack of knowledge (i.e zero) regarding writing scripts! I have searched the forum and open source for some help and i have seem similar threads and have tried to cobble something together for several weeks already!

PROJECT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am looking to use a K4NT to display a random black & white line drawn comic strip which will change one or twice daily (and work on battery alone).

I currently have a jailbroken K4NT with the screensavers hack and basically I am trying to write a script that will just do the same as a human pressing the power button twice at a set time during the day (thus changing the screensaver to another random image before going to sleep again).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been trying to use/adapt parts of other contributors scripts such as those by peterson and _nico

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...=235821&page=3

where _nico is managing to get the following results with his Kindle KT3 on a single charge "57 eips updates a day, 30-35 days".

I have also poured over the onlinescreensavers hack and the kindle weather display and

https://www.linux.com/learn/wake-lin...alarm-clock%20

As a test I have been trying to set the K4NT to wake using the RTC (RTC1 as there is no wakealarm in RTC0) to wakeup after 100 seconds have lapsed using the code below which I start via the CLI when connected to the K4NT via SSH.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.cmd wirelessEnable 0

echo Current Time : `date` `date +%s`
ENDWAIT=$(( `date +%s` + 100 ))
echo Wake Up Time : $ENDWAIT

echo 0 > /sys/class/rtc/rtc1/wakealarm
echo Readback time: `cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc1/wakealarm`
echo $ENDWAIT > /sys/class/rtc/rtc1/wakealarm

lipc-wait-event -mt com.lab126.powerd '*'
This produces these results but doesn't seem to wake the Kindle back up. I also found that following command will carry out a simulated press of the power button on the K4NT.

Code:
lipc-send-event com.lab126.powerd.debug dbg_power_button_pressed

Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

K4 Kindle 4 +++ Auto Changing Screensaver's PNG Quotes

:hatsoff: Hi,
My name's Dmitry. Dmitry from Russia.

A couple of days ago I thought if I could use my old :rolleyes: Kindle 4 as a screen on my table, while I’m doing my daily work at the :bam: computer, so it could :bulb2: show me a new quote which I :blink: don’t know, and doing it with an interval say 5 minutes for a little pause to :chinscratch: think about every read quote.
Actually it’s pretty old :dizzy: e-reader and reading on it is much difficult than on modern e-readers.
The only question for this idea is (I really does think someone has already :idea2: used this in his own similar situation) if Kindle 4 can :bulb2: show images (PNG with a quotes) automatically changing them without need of any :loco: action with the Kindle itself except :book2: watching its screen for several hours or more.
So it would be :2thumbsup cool to see one of N quote among the thousands within 2Gb memory on it and think about every new read quote within 5 minutes. Ahh… what a :bunny: nice idea! I hope it's catch fancy someone :thumbsup: else and does really hope it’s really possible! :pray:

P.S.
I spent some time :book2: trying to use custom screensaver images without :locked: jailbreak, but Kindle did not change it automatically without :loco: an action from my side (I mean :happydance: pressing lock button). Maybe Screensaver Hack is my hero? :happybounce:

:thanks: Thanks for the interest.

Best.

PW4 Script to remove annoying message?

February 13, 2019, 8:25 am
$

I am wondering if there is or can be created a script or something to remove the annoying message when I load books to my PW4.

Here is the message in full:

Quote:
Folder is almost full

One of the subfolders under Documents folder has exceeded 2000 items. To continue adding more items to your device, we recommend creating a new subfolder under Downloads.

CLOSE
There is a "downloads" folder in documents, to which, as an experiment, I have added some books. There is no change in how viewing these documents is done after the device is disconnected. It is not the way I plan to add books, however. Also, I should note that this message in no way prevents me from adding more books the usual way (via Calibre). Also there is something like 4G free space on the device, so I find it very annoying that this message appears.

Yes it is merely an annoyance easily dealt with. I am just wondering if any of you programming geniuses have a way to silence it!

Thanks!

Hi at all. Hope i'm right here.

In the last few days I tried a lot and read a lot here. Only wanted the book covers as screensaver. Now nearly each bin file will turn off the reader.
The Reader works for reading as before but i can't install or uninstall hacks.

Tried following in this order:
For the sake of completeness: two tools installed a few days ago. They did some unknown changes to firmware. Because they don't worked as i want, i uninstalled them.

Tools Reasons/Benefits to Jailbreak a Kindle in 2019

Hi,

I own a Kindle Voyage I decided to jailbreak years ago, and at the end I realize that I barely used any advantages of this jailbreak.

I'm about to receive a new PW4, and I'm debating the idea of jailbreaking it, just in case. But at the same time, why would I bother, when at the end I find that the Kindles firmwares are getting better / including functionalities that would probably require a jailbreak before (I'm thinking of customs fonts).

So I'm curious to know the reasons people have to jailbreak their device in 2019. :chinscratch:

Loading many pdfs via ssh on paperwhite eventually fails

Hi,


Here is an interesting problem that I hope someone can shed some light on.

I have a kindle paperwhite that I ssh into, upload a pdf and display on the screen via:

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.appmgrd start app://com.lab126.booklet.reader:/mnt/us/documents/doc.pdf

works perfectly up to about 900 cycles. Each time I specify a new file name, and delete the old filename. around 916 cycles. (yes, its that repeatable) it stops working and I get 'cannot open application' errors. the only way out is to reboot the kindle and start again.

i tried sending a

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.appmgrd clearAllContext 1

in the hopes that it was that easy, but same behavior.

any ideas on what i should look at?

thanks!

Pair a Bluetooth Keyboard to Kindle Paperwhite 4

Hi,

I've just got a Kindle Paperwhite 4. This model has a bluetooth on board but natively it doesn't allow to connect a bluetooth keyboard (only audio devices).

The first thing I did after buying it - jailbreak. It's allowed me to install kterm. Via kterm I found a utility on the kindle called "btui" (see attachments).

I've scanned for devices using command #3 and it found my "Logitech" keyboard. Unfortunately, I was not able to understand the command #6 (Pair) - it did nothing.

So, is it possible to connect a bluetooth keyboard to kindle paperwhite 4? Any ideas on how to do it? May be we can install a custom bluetooth drivers, etc?

What's the best way to remove the heat shields?

I have access to soldering iron and heat gun, just never done it before and they look pretty firmly attached. Anyone got any experience with this and can offer some advice?

Hello folks,

I've already read all about me being stupid for resetting the PW3 to factory default after successfully jailbreaking a breakable version and then updating it to the latest firmware.
I've also read on some thread here that people are still looking into breaking 5.10.x versions of the firmware (and doing it slowly because it eats huge amounts of time), but I have no updates on this topic, what's the status on it?
Thanks for any info :)

Is there any way to disable the backlight on the Paperwhite 4 (2018 model)?

Hi all,

I've just picked myself up a Paperwhite 4 for the convenience of having a backlight, but I'd like to be able to turn it off entirely both for the sake of being able to as well as not wanting to use the (admittedly small) power it uses.

I know this is possible on at least the Paperwhite 2, but is there any way of doing it on the latest model without using a magnet?

Thanks!

How to enable RNDIS with usbnetwork in Windows 7

February 25, 2019, 4:21 pm

I searched around and didn't find any specific thread with clear, concise steps.

These directions work for a Paperwhite 3 with firmware 5.9.7 serial Serial G090 G105 and Windows 7, although it's not limited to that at all.


Step 1: Jailbreak your kindle https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030

Step 2: Install USBNetwork https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030

Step 3: I had to completely restart my Kindle for the USBNetwork mode and mass storage driver mode to both work after installing.

Step 4: After reboot, toggle usbnetwork, make sure it's on. Plug Kindle into PC.

Step 5: Open device manager and under Universal Serial Bus Controllers there is an entry for RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget with an exclamation point because it has no driver. Right click it, update driver software, browse my computer for driver software, Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. A window will come up asking to select the device type. Select Network adapters

Step 6: In the manufacturer section, scroll down to "Microsoft Corporation" (Not "Microsoft"). In Network Adapter section, select Remote NDIS Compatible Device". Click Next. When the prompt says "Installing this device is not recommended", click yes continue anyway. Finish install.

Step 7: Verify in Device Manager that under Network Adapters you now have an entry for "RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget".

Step 8: Go to network adapters. You should see a new entry entitled "Local Area Connection [#]" - Unidentified Network - RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget. That is your gateway to your Kindle.

Step 9: Assign a static IP address to this adapter. The default IP of the Kindle is 192.168.15.244. So assign an IPV4 IP starting with 192.168.15.2-254. But not .244 obviously.

Step 10: Install putty, open putty, put 192.168.15.244 in as the address, type a name, save. Open that name. login is "root", and hit enter. Enjoy your command line.

Difficulty getting usb networking wifi access to my jailbroken PW4

PW4 jailbroken with 5.10.3 firmware.

If I open usb network I see "USBNetwork: enabled (usbnet, sshd down)"

I can't seem to connect:
[I] ~  ssh -v kindle
OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.2, OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017
debug1: Reading configuration data /home/david/.ssh/config
debug1: /home/david/.ssh/config line 1: Applying options for *
debug1: /home/david/.ssh/config line 63: Applying options for kindle
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to 192.168.1.106 [192.168.1.106] port 22.
debug1: connect to address 192.168.1.106 port 22: Connection refused
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.106 port 22: Connection refused

Then when I try to change options under the USBNetwork I see "NW must be in usbms mode to safely do this".

Not sure how I can do this?

It was working fine at one point, I suppose no longer (perhaps it was after the 5.10.3 update)

Thanks to the users of this forum :iloveyou: I have do to jailbreak the Kindle PaperWithe 4 5.10.0.2 and now i have on "KUALBooklet", "kual helper0.5.N", "python-0.15.N" and "screensavers hack" and work perfectly!
Now I would like to create collections and i have look for in the forum and i think the best way is "LibrarianSync", but I don't have understand if this program works on 5.10.0.2 firmware.
Can I installed it without problems?
Alternatively, how can I create a collection, preferably from a PC?
I prefer don't register the Kindle because I'm scared for the eventually update, which could create problems with the JailBreck.
Thanks
