The log from performing an update gives this information: Code:
<4>[ 50.353976] INFO:bundle/unbundle_wario.c:1947:unbundle_file():RootFS:Present siglen=256 sigpassed=NO At this point, I am looking for a volunteer to test the following on a Manga Model kindle that has not done any updates past 5.8.7 ( or is fresh out of the box with 5.8.9.0.1 ) I have a franken-update containing the following items. 1. A Properly signed 5.8.7 uBoot ( uBoot is where the previous PW3-32gb bricks whose threads I have been on were located )
3. A properly signed linux file system from PW3-4gb 5.7.4 ( the one that we can jailbreak ) I recognize that it is a bad idea to mismatch the uImage kernel and the kernel modules living in the filesystem, but based on my experiences, I believe that it would function well enough to allow a user to run the jailbreak, hotfix, and then update to the real 5.8.7 getting everything matched back up.

Moving the uImage includes the complete initramfs (with the modules needed to run it). So you can expect early user space to run as intended. It would only be after the 'switch root' step of the start-up process where things might go sideways. But early user space includes the "Recovery Menu". So if it can be arranged to make the system stop at that point, prior to doing the switch to the real rootfs ... - - - - Wouldn't that test pass if the OTA updater that is part of the early user space contained our key? To date, we have never tried adding our key to the keys included with early user space (for what is considered a good reason). PM me if you want to know how to do it. That because of our prohibition on giving Lab126 any more lessons. Last edited by knc1; 08-05-2017 at 01:19 AM. |

It was mostly early senility writing, not clear thinking. I'll gather together some actual thoughts on this war with Amazon and PM them to you later today or early this evening (ref: my time of course). |

Here is a version of usbnet installer that should work on any touch screen kindles up to 2017-08-07. I have left this in the form where it can be applied to any software version. "scratch" will be my shorthand for these packages where there is no 'target OTA', which should let it install on any newer version of the OS as well.
It is still model locked to all of the hardware I know about right now, but this includes all known oasis models and all know paperwhite models ( including manga version ) Spoiler:

But we are unable to tell you what steps you missed until you tell us in detail what steps you took. That is: How did you try to use these? In very specific detail. |

You are now a candidate to try out my new "Serial Port Jail Break" instructions once I finish them. This is my first answer of the day, so let me waste some time on telling this story one-more-time:
Welcome to using the Kindle the way Amazon intended it to be used. Steps #3 through #6 are the only sequence of actions that can completely remove our viral jail break. But you managed to find them. So once again, congratulations. # 14 555 <- somehow appropriate |
