Would not be very secure if it did, now would it? Keep following the directions; type your password, press the 'enter' key when done. |

try a port scan of the device. check 22 is actually open. if not you have another issue. also: Capitalisation is important in those password generators. ensure you have the correct password. I think that applies to the python method. try mixing the case and see. (I did try testing this but didn't have python on my device. I should go put it on there) HTH EDIT: Telling us your password won't help. but describing your exact method of deriving the password might just throw up an error in "process". for example. The "how you got there" is often just as important as "what you got". Last edited by twobob; 10-22-2012 at 08:33 PM. Reason: how, not what, python, extra notes |

Is there a new touchscreen eink kindle that runs version 4.0 firmware, as indicated by the title of this thread?
If not, perhaps this thread should be renamed to include a REAL kindle model such as K4 or K5... EDIT: I requested a thread title "correction". The current "[Progress] Jailbreaking Kindle 4.0 (Touch/No Keyboard)" was incorrect from the start, created back before people actually knew the correct firmware version of a K5 and two kindle models released at almost the same time caused this confusion. No need to keep confusing people now that we know better. Last edited by geekmaster; 10-22-2012 at 08:35 PM. |

Except the thread title clearly says "(Touch/No Keyboard)". Resurrecting such an old (and mistakenly titled) thread from the dark ages of the K5 is not particularly helpful, when there are much newer threads for this purpose.
EDIT: Thread necromancy such as this is especially inappropriate when his post is about a completely different kindle model (Non-touch vs. Touch). Last edited by geekmaster; 10-22-2012 at 08:46 PM. |

waterlubber is trying to work out frustrations by multiple posting in as many threads as possible.
That old: "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" type of posting. The goal mentioned was to: "roll back 4.0.1" which can mean only: "roll back to 4.0". Since both of those choices are so old, I would not be surprised if what waterlubber now has is 4.1 (unless the update process was blocked for a very long time). |

I for one welcome the enthusiasm. Necro bumping and flame suits aside.
Not entirely sure of the feature benefits of such a downgrade, as I don't know the flavour. I think I said that it's a bit radical as an option. lots of stuff can be "tweaked" but it would depend on the OP's remit. which is unknown mainly. |

This might help, although the accuracy might be a bit iffy for really old stuff (before the distinction between boards and platforms was made clear).

Code:
... Apr 21 11:21:56 kernel: PNLCD: Fiona PNLCD Driver v0.94 Apr 21 11:21:56 kernel: KEYBOARD: Fiona Keyboard Driver v1.0 ... Interestingly, the K1 does not use eMMC (which has built-in write wear-leveling and bad block relocation). Instead it has vulnerable raw flash, and the firmware contains a Samsung XSR driver which performs though missing functions on writable raw bml (block management level) partitions, providing virtual stl (sector translation level) devices when a partition must be mounted as writable. The only partitions mounted as writable are /mnt/us/ and /opt/ (and writable user vars are stored in /opt/var instead of nonexistent /var/local). I will start a thread to document my K1 research at some point. Last edited by geekmaster; 04-21-2016 at 07:00 PM. |

Might be one such mismatch between board and platform. Or simply an erroneous assumption for lack of data at the time, because, when I think about it, I really don't see the K1 and K2 sharing the same platform, given they run on a different arch ^^.
