You can just run OTA over wifi. In case you don't have wifi, download http://download.pocketbook-int.com/f....1010_user.zip put SWUPDATE.BIN to root folder over usb, and then power on the reader while holding up/down buttons simultaneously. Beware that unlike OTA, this manual update can wipe apps and books stored on the reader, it's a bit akin to factory reset in addition to fw update. Last edited by ezdiy; 01-02-2020 at 06:46 AM. |

Cool, used it (only step1 version 6) in Touch HD FW5.20.1527 to export secure partition:
/mnt/secure/su /bin/tar cf - /mnt/secure/* | gzip -c - > /mnt/ext1/secure.tar.gz Working flawlessly on my device. Edit: And if the Coolreader startup script ist adapted to run Coolreader as root, we get access to all the nice and bought dictionaries back, which are normally only accessible by the pocketbook reader. in: /ext1/system/bin/cr3-pb.app replace: $WORK_DIR/system/share/cr3/bin/cr3-pb.app "$1" > $WORK_DIR/system/cr3-pb.normal.log 2> with /mnt/secure/su $WORK_DIR/system/share/cr3/bin/cr3-pb.app "$1" > $WORK_DIR/system/cr3-pb.normal.log 2> Last edited by nhedgehog; 02-04-2020 at 10:43 AM. |

succeeded on PB631 too, FW 5.20.1527. Still figuring out what to make out of it, but yeah, cool!

Hi, I have an Inkpad X and I am trying to solve an issue (see https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/5887). Unfortunately I don't have any experience hacking PocketBook devices though I use Linux at work so I at least know my way around it. Seems like I need to get shell access to execute a strace command and copy file from the /usr directory. Is there some easier, non-invasive way of doing that or is your jailbreak the only way?

Edit: Regarding the other questions, that can probably done with pbterm, which should be downloadable somewere here. Last edited by nhedgehog; 02-21-2020 at 03:33 AM. |

Inkpad X has the same resolution has Inkpad 3.
Doesn't matter, you were asked to provide some files and logs from for the Koreader guys. For this you don't need root. Just use the attached app. |

Hello all,
I'm about to choose a e-ink reader in order to use it as a display (only console no X) for my raspberry pi via USB (as it was possible when kindle was still "rootable" http://www.okinteresting.com/2018/10...iy-kindle.html) Your package provides root, usbnet, sshd and I need a terminal as well (pbterminal??). Inkpad 3 pro is very attractive for me, As anybody ever tried such test, do you think is could be possible? Thanks for your help Last edited by pascal jakobs; 02-27-2020 at 06:19 AM. |

If I were to run a rig like this, I'd probably try to get X running though. Xorg has somewhat usable support for eink fb, and all unix apps running elsewhere could leverage the screen with decent transport protocol. You can also configure the server to pull keyboard and mouse I/O from off-device as well, or even bluetooth or OTG host. As for pbterm and such, typing on the screen is not very usable due to lag. It's more of a last ditch thing if you can't ssh into it for some reason (no root, no other device to ssh from etc). As for Kindle, there is technically root for it assuming you get one with factory fw. But dealing with that is something I'd not recommend unless you're very familiar with it, as the tooling for that is currently rather shoddy. |

Thanks for your nice reply ezdiy
I'm a bit disapointed, I thaught your usbnet could give me the possibility to ssh fron the reader to my RPI ssh server? For me the simpler is the best. I'm far from being a guru in any matters, I'm just playing. I found this idea very good cause my eyes hate the computer screen and I love my RPI (console). ;-( Should I switch to gardening? Have a nice day |

This is pretty slick. Have a number of things I would like to do with this device as I am a seasoned software dev.
on PB HD3 - U632.5.19.832 Rooting worked, service install worked, but keep getting prompted that the storage may be corrupt. About half the time when I reboot it acts like it just reset back to factory defaults, although root and services a still present. |
