ok PB 634 (Verse Pro) / 6.8.1834
The device came from the factory with 6.8.1834.
Pocketbook support page provides one update, 6.8.1835. I successfully tested jailbreak obviously, USBNet and ssh. Spoiler:

I'm curious as to why it's not working on the InkPad Color 3 (pb743).
From how I understand the jailbreak to function it first unpacks the binaries "jailbreak" and "su" to /var/tmp, then uses the jailbreak binary (some weird voodoo exploit by sending a buffer to an IPC queue) to change permissions on /mnt/secure, then copies the su binary to this location (making further permissions to this newly situated su binary). The most obvious failure point would be in setting permissions for /mnt/secure. I've added a few lines to the jailbreak.app file to provide a simple dialog message that tests for the presence of the files and the required permissions. Could someone experiencing the failure try running it and report back? (They should only show if the root process fails) Last edited by neil_swann80; 03-05-2024 at 02:32 PM. |

Tested it on the device, where enableOPDS was not successful installed.
Installer went through without error message, afterwards I got no root in pbterm but the Jailbreak-installer detected the su binary and asked me if a wanted to uninstall it, which I did and this work well, sind next time Jailbreak asked me to install again. |

Sounds like the root/jailbreak worked. |

No I didn't. What I just did in pbterm was:
1) NotJailbreaked device working: ls /mnt/secure cp /mnt/secure/device.cfg /mnt/ext1/ not working ls /mnt/secure >> /mnt/secure/test.tst 2) Jailbreaked device working: ls /mnt/secure cp /mnt/secure/device.cfg /mnt/ext1/ not working ls /mnt/secure >> /mnt/secure/test.tst /mnt/secure/su ls /mnt/secure >> /mnt/secure/test.tst PS: Funfact device.cfg & device.cfg.back are existing in /mnt/secure device.cfg has have_opds=1 in it, so your installer worked despite my previous comment BUT library does not show the Network library entry. Sorry I didn't check the device.cfg itself previously. Last edited by nhedgehog; 03-04-2024 at 01:28 PM. |

I can't run that command on my rooted device without making this change either. /mnt/secure/su chmod 777 /mnt/secure Weirdly to run mkdir in /mnt/secure with su I need 775 permissions... but for the command you specified 777 is needed. Really odd. But if you can chmod you have root! Quote:

Thanks, yes root is definitely working. Chmod on /mnt/secure too and afterwards I can write on /mnt/secure. Though /ebrmain/config is and remains readonly. I'll check ssh the next days. BTW. firmware is: 6.8.2676-U-W

The bulk of the Pockebook OS is on a compressed read-only rom image - cramfs. Not easy to modify, usually the rom itself is reflashed/rewritten in its entirety to make changes. A command line editor like nano is the only way I know to make the changes to any files within the cramfs on-the-fly.

I have to enter "/mnt/secure/su" rather than "sudo" before my commands in both pbterm and via ssh. I've tried setting a permanent alias without any luck. I ended up writing a simple shell .app launcher for pbterm (to export a variable) as a bodge-fix which works well enough. Works for ssh also if I launch pbterm first. Code:
#!/bin/sh export udo="/mnt/secure/su" /mnt/ext1/applications/pbterm exit Last edited by neil_swann80; 03-05-2024 at 06:54 AM. |

FYI... After reading through the services.app file I've noticed you can easily run scripts on startup by populating:
/mnt/ext1/system/init.d/*.sh Last edited by neil_swann80; 03-11-2024 at 12:57 AM. |
