The update tool is done. Can extract/create Kindle 4.0 and 5.0 packages along with other things. Very buggy on Windows though, may have to recode for windows. For now, if you are on windows, install cygwin (with packages zlib and openssl) and run the tool from cygwin shell. |

Pardon the stupid question, but how do you undo the jailbreak? I've tried placing the update_touch_jailbreak_1.0_uninstall.bin in the root directory of my kindle touch and activating the Update Your Kindle in the Settings Menu (which would otherwise be grayed out), but it only showed me an error stating that it couldn't update my device, something like that. How can I know if I removed the jailbreak?
I'm relatively new to the e-book reader scene so please forgive my ignorance. |

Some questions though, if you'd be so kind: 1) When attempting to use the Linux version of your packager, I get the following dependency error: "./kindletool: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" ..How do I install all the required dependencies? I'm running Ubuntu Oneiric. Also, I saw some of the usage notes in the original jailbreak; how do the versioning arguments work? Must I put in the current version and make up a "new" version to convince the Kindle to accept the update? What will this do to future updates, will the Kindle think it's already "future-proof"? (I actually don't want official updates, I'm quite happy with what I have right now..) 2) How might I go about installing sftp? I saw you linking to the binary, but how do I set that up to run the sftp server? Or, is it enough to have ssh-server running, and the Kindle will invoke the sftp binary when required? Should I put it in /bin/ or /usr/bin/ or somewhere else entirely? 3) Where should I look for stuff to modify the html/javascript interfaces, if I wanted to add my own html/js "program" somewhere like the "Experimental" list? Thanks again, sorry for the questions. I'm learning a lot about linux's structure through exploring the Kindle, and I'm looking forward to some fun projects! |

2) You need to crosscompile a sftp server or download one precompiled for ARM Linux 3) The files are all around the root partition |

Rockbox
Hey there,
I want to congratulate you on all your work so far on jailbreaking the Kindle Touch. I have an idea. Has anyone here considered porting Rockbox to the Kindle? Rockbox is an alternative firmware for media players. It supports a lot of audio, images and video formats. (video wouldn't be useful on eInk but the other formats would be awesome) It even has a few games and apps. Could it be run as an app instead of a separate firmware? Thank you and keep up the good work! |

It looks like Sir Alex's tool does not work with my Kindle Touch.
Actually it seems to be a Kindle3 tool. Could changing root's password prevent future Amazon upgrades (or do they rely on kinda signed packages)? |

No, password change will not affect updates, they don't rely on it. |

@rastik
well, yes, I was actually asking silly questions. ;-) Besides being not useful, backing up original root password is very easy. Once the usbnetworking has been enabled, it's possible to login via ssh using framework/mario. The /etc/shadow file has wrong permissions and it's world readeable, so it's possible to backup (just in case) the line with the original root password: Code:
root:981W.e8ijjR9c:15187:0:99999:7::: |

Hi yifanlu,
I try to use your tool to create new update package to kindle touch. I use it this way ./kindletool create ota2 -dk5w /media/USB_DISK/kindle/install/ but I get this error message: Cannot read input. Segmentation fault What is wrong? Directory /media/USB_DISK/kindle/install/ exist and included install files. |
