Kindle Hacks
Back in December when I got my Kindle2I I downloaded a screen saver hack and some font hacks. Now I can not update the software to the new versions. I do not remember where I got the hacks and Amazon will not help me remove them. A Reset to Factory defaults does not override the hack. Does anyone know how I will ever be able to update my kindle? Is there a all hack removal tool or something of that sort?

You have to use the uninstall.bin from the website you found the font/screensaver hack at.... if you give me a moment I'll try to find the link to the font hack site....

There were uninstalls included with both the screensaver and font hacks, at least the versions I got. One at a time. You should just copy the uninstall bin file to the root directory and Menu | Setting | Menu | Upate Your Kindle. If you copy the bin file to the right place the Update option should be available. Then do the same with the 2.5.2 bin file.

I can't remember is there is more than one font hack floating around or not. The uninstall bin for the one I'm familiar with can be found here...

What software version do you currently have? (What's displayed at the bottom of the screen when you got to Home > Menu > Settings?

I'm stuck at 2.3. I have no clue where I got the hacks. I saved the folder for the screensaver hack and have removed it using the uninstall file. There are so many hacks out there now. How will I ever find out what I installed?
