My Kindle Touch has died all of the sudden, even though its battery was at 100%. (I was doing some "dev" experimenting, but I took a break and used it as a normal Kindle in the few days prior to this because life took over)
- Hard reboots cause it to either restart and freeze at the Kindle Tree/Boy logo, or not restart at all, or at the progress bar (once or twice).
- It actually managed to fully boot once or twice (and the status bar battery meter reads 100%), but it freezes after a few moments.
- Booting to USB HID results in the correct USB HID device showing up, and imx_usb could flash it, but it won't reboot to the selected mode (diags/fastboot) (save for one time when it actually did boot to diags).
- Note that the Kindle Touch has been in my possession for only two weeks. Prior to that, it was shipped by air mail, and it arrived with a "plug battery in" image (no text). (Not sure how they do it, but mail carriers do something to discharge batteries to zero % prior to shipping).
- I have charged it for four hours back then. I planned on a 24-hour charge, but since it showed 100%, I thought that four hours was enough.
Note that when I cracked it open, I noticed that it was on its original battery with a date of 2011.
- It's now on a wall charger.
Do you think it's simply an aging battery or a dead one?

The diag mode was working I tryed to get the system working with fastboot - with no results.
as a Second method I used k1nc instruction

and copied "update_kindle_all_new_paperwhite_5.12.1.bin" via the export USB function on the kindle and updated it.
The update worked without any errors and I got the screen working - The Tree image while updating and also the Screen while the diag mode.

But it also doesn't start after the countdown.

So far these are these my recovery attempts to get the Kindle working.:blink:

Thanks for your help.

My bloody kids must have switched on the wifi and my PW3 has been updated to 5.12.1
It was previously jailbroken with no problems.
Am I screwed or is there anyway I can get back to previous?
BTW, I thought I'd set it up not to OTA update too :(

:help:
Cheers,

Some context first:

I'm on 5.12.1 fw so no jail breaking possible. But it occurs to me that my KV might already be jaibroken. I'm at a loss as to how to check this.

Here's why I think all might not be lost:

So I used to have my KV jail broken long ago with kual and & co installed. I'm a bit nebulous on details but at the time I think I left some startup option enabled. Maybe it was usb networking.

Anyway, an OTA update came, disabled that, and my KV was bricked with a "Your device needs repair" message. No amount of resetting helped.

In the end I put a file named DO_FACTORY_RESTORE in the root as instructed here (originaly I found the russian site). After a reboot/reset everything was fine and dandy.

Do you think jailbreak might have survived that process? How could I check?

Thanks in advance!

This is my proof of concept:


I want to create a status display for my classroom. The admin likes to know what the students are doing and where they are. They like that info to be posted outside each home room.

After mounting each eink display without the Kindle "wrapper", the final "poster" will be roughly 7x15 inches. There will be a 0.25 inch seam between each pair of Kindles. I have a lot of work to do to get there. This thread is where I will log my progress.

So, I have a Voyage which is jb and was working fine, but I wanted to update the SW. However when I went to 5.8.1 it did not have the features I wanted so I downloaded the latest, which happens to be 5.12.1, which I now know was not the right choice. The device is able to install packages via ;log mrpi however I can't open KUAL and also my screen savers are not working. More interestingly, however, is that the side loaded books are not appearing, although they are still on the device as seen on my PC.

So, might I be able to install a previous version, such as 5.11.x? If so, where might I find the down load? I have searched with no luck. So, assuming it is safe to down grade to 5.11.x, if someone could point me to where I might download it, I would appreciate it.

Can /etc/hosts be used to block OTA updates?

My KPW4 is 5.11.2 and staying in airplane mode to prevent OTA updates.

is there anyway to block OTA updates in 5.11.2 or downgrade?

Hey, so I have a Kindle 3 with 3G, and I am wanting to root it, pretty much just so I can get a terminal with a SSH client on it. I do a lot of Linux work, so, having something I can toss in my pocket with a big size screen to connect to my servers would be pretty cool.

Now, here's my problem. So many of the links I see appear to be specific to the wifi only version, are now dead, or go for older versions of the firmware (it has 3.4.2 on it). I just don't want to brick it.

Hi,

I have a Paperwhite 2 that shows the kindle logo on the screen and doesn't respond to turning on/off or hard reset.

I opened up the kindle and connected to the serial port and this is the output I get:

I've managed to get recovery menu, but I don't know which option to choose, or even if one of the option would fix the kindle (or at least safe to try without destroying the system even more). These are the menu options:

Code:

---

Menu
====
3. Load MMC over USB storage
4. Erase MMC
I. Initialize Partition Table (fdisk) and format FAT
O. Format and overwrite FAT partition
E. Export FAT partition
U. Update using update*.bin file on FAT partition
C. Configure USB networking
N. Boot NFS over USB
Z. Boot NFS over ETH
L. List files in many directories
S. Access the shell
8. Test low level screens
D. dmesg / kernel printk ring buffer.
Q. quit

---

Can somebody make sense of the output and have an idea what could be the problem and how to fix it?

Hi.:help:

My voyage was in my back pocket, I sat on it, The screen is broken.

It works fine, I can read, PagePress buttons works fine.

But I'm stuck in the current book, I can't change it to another book because touch screen doesn't work.

I wanted to ask there is a way to change to current reading book by editing voyage configuration file, or maybe by jailbreaking it. I don't know. Just a way to change the book without using touch screen.

:thanks:

Recently I finally got into hacking my Kindle PW3 and after a few experiments I thought it was time for a more useful project, that’s why I wrote a tool which displays departure information for public transport.

I figured the Kindle is more than capable to gather and render all necessary data on its own. And Go(lang) seemed like the perfect match for this job, language wise, as it is fast, comes with many useful libraries, and most importantly cross-compilation for ARM is really really easy.

kindle-abfahrt in action:

Spoiler:

Right now it is pretty much tailored to my own needs, meaning it only supports the API of my local transportation authority and the screen layout is hard-coded to the PW3’s screen resolution, but as I got most, if not all, information necessary to build this thing from MR I wanted to provide the source for reference or as a starting point for others who want to achieve a similar goal. Maybe even add support for other data providers and allow for easy customization of the screen layout so that non-programmers can benefit as well.

Source code and build instructions are over on GitHub:
https://github.com/buckket/kindle-abfahrt

And finally thanks to everyone for documenting your findings!

Hi,

Got my hands on an older kindle so I can jailbreak and use Collections Manager. IT came with 5.6.1.1 software, and I'm trying to update the firmware to use the above JB in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=265675.

According to the serial number (B024), I downloaded the first file from (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...&postcount=995)

When I add the 5.6.5 bin file to the root, and eject device, I get the following message:

UPDATE ERROR - An invalid update file has been loaded on your device. Please go to www.kindle.com/support to access the Kindle Software Update page or to contact Kindle Customer Service for assistance.


Any insight would be most appreciated!!!

:help:

I have a jailbroken Kindle Touch onto which I've downloaded hawhill's Kindle VNC viewer (native app, GPLv2). I've managed to get most things working but I'm unable to get touchscreen input to be detected when the app is running.

My lua config script does detect when I push the home button and exit the app as intended, but nothing is happening if I tap the touchscreen.

However if I run evtest on the kindle, I can see that there are touch events being generated. I imagine there must be a typo in my config file but I'm not familiar with Lua. I've tried everything I can think of and would really appreciate help fixing this bug.

On Linux (raspberry pi 3) I run the following in the terminal:

Code:

---

sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.15.2
x11vnc -clip 800x600+0+0 -usepw &
ssh root@kindletouch-usb0

---

On kindle I run:

Code:

---

stop lab126_gui
cd /mnt/us/extensions/kvncviewer/
lipc-get-prop com.lab126.powerd preventScreenSaver
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd preventScreenSaver 1

getopt problems when compiling with TCC on kindle 3

Hey everyone - new forum member,

I'm using the tinycc (tcc) package created by geekmaster to compile a small C program which plays the game oware in the console (MyTs) on a kindle 3. Everything seems to work fine except that when I execute the binary none of the arguments seem to be passed to the compiled program. I'm not a programmer but assume this has something to do with getopt.

On my laptop running Arch Linux I've compiled the same program with an x86-64 version of tcc using the include files that come in the kindle-tcc package and the arguments work.

So I'm wondering if either anyone might have a clue what the issue is, or might have the necessary tool-chain built to cross-compile the attached file (awale.txt - I had to use txt for it to upload but it is a C program).

Thanks in advance for any help.

A few weeks ago, I started a thread here about a Kindle Touch that freezes intermittently, then flatly refused to start at all.
Initially, I thought it was a battery issue, but after buying another Kindle Touch (with a known-good battery), and trying the "new" battery in the old Kindle, the old Kindle still refused to boot with the new battery. It would freeze at the Kindle screen, sometimes with the word "Kindle" in a lighter font than is usual (thought it was an illusion, but I confirmed it with a side-by-side comparison with the other Kindle).
Diags mode does nothing (the Kindle would refuse to leave diags).
However, it managed to boot once. Only once. Then it died again.

What can I make out of that mess? What could I possibly do?

After several years of use, the battery in my beloved kindle touch is dying and it can no longer hold a charge.

According to ifixit, it should be a fairly easy procedure to replace the battery. Unfortunately Amazon does not appear to sell kindle batteries. However a google search turns up a website called newpower99.com which offers replacement batteries for $24 plus shipping. Has anyone here had experience with them in the past?

Battery status after 24 Hours of charging:

Code:

---

Hello! i am using a kindle NT4 and decided to jailbreak it. Now i want to SSH into it to make everything easier for me, however all of those "Root Password Tools" were made for versions 4.0 and 4.0.1, and don't work anymore. :(

I cant use KindleTool as it requires me to update my Mac and my internet is very slow at the moment.

Could someone give me (or link me to) a quick tutorial on how to find the kindle root password on version 4.1.3?

I'm trying to compile U-Boot and the i.MX6SL Kindle Linux kernel as to run them in qemu-system-arm. The Linux kernel compiles successfully, but the resulting Image and zImage won't boot in QEMU. I then told myself that it was a good "excuse" to get U-Boot compiled too.
However, the U-Boot compile is failing. I have no idea why it's doing that.
