"Users turn to jailbreaking their older Kindles as Amazon ends support

The move means users will only be able to use their devices to read content that’s already downloaded. So, naturally, people are jailbreaking them.
Jailbreaking refers to bypassing the software restrictions imposed by Amazon on Kindle devices. This process allows users to install custom fonts, new screensavers, alternative reading apps, and even third-party tools that expand the Kindle’s functionality.

However, it’s important to note that jailbreaking a Kindle might violate Amazon’s terms of service. In many jurisdictions, jailbreaking isn’t considered a criminal offense for personal use, but it may become a crime if it involves copyright infringement, illegal software distribution, or the sale of modified devices.

This guide is for informational purposes only. Always comply with the law and proceed with caution."

I got repeatedly stuck #jailbreaking a #Kindle 5 Touch on a "This item is not signed by an authorized developer" error when trying to open the KUAL "book". KUAL is technically a step after jailbreaking, but needed for any of the things you want to jailbreak for.

I was totally stumped from MobileRead.com (where most of the info lives) until I found https://fekir.info/post/jailbreak-kindle-touch/. They noted upgrading firmware to 5.3.7.3 works. I didn't use their files (missed seeing them) but managed to find a mirror of Amazon's patch at TechSpot.

The thing Fekir's site misses is the need to install the "universal patch" as a final step: https://github.com/KindleModding/Hotfix/releases/tag/v2.3.7, or that same error occurs.

Sadly, their site's contact page is broken, or I would write them with that info and thanks. Because it's a great writeup of what needs to be done for jailbreaking a Kindle Touch.

So on the off chance you know a Fekir (they totally seem like they could be a fediverse citizen), maybe pass that along? :)

Understated opportunity: CopyFail means we get to jailbreak a whole new generation of locked down Linux devices.

Ever wanted root access on your router, phone, (tv/portable/etc) media player, washing machine, Jumbo jet, newag train, etc?

If you find a way to run the copyfail POC through somewhere, you'll be root!

Just make sure to try this before the next update gets installed on the device :dragon_sip:

👩‍💻​ My So Called Sudo Life: Jailbroken Kindle edition 📖​

If you followed my #Jailbreaking adventures this past week, I'd like to add a final chapter on the positive effect it had on my reading habits.

Long story short: I used to be an avid reader and I had sadly lost the habit of reading books in the last couple of years (blaming tiredness at the end of the day). I had been looking for a system to encourage me to get back on track. When I found out about #KOreader and #SimpleUI I was totally smitten: an elegant interface that kept track of my reading stats? Sign me up!

In the photo I've attached you can see my reading stats for the past week - aka since I started using KOreader and SimpleUI. If you don't want to squint / find it harder to read: my daily reading average is about 40 minutes. Not bad! I'm just absolutely delighted by this.

i jailbroke my old iPod Touch and put some old games on it :D

All thanks to Cydia, AppSync Unified, and Veteris. It was incredibly easy to set up and will stay forever (unless I factory reset the device).
Minecraft Pocket Edition v0.9.5 is already on the iPod, too. I might want to use it for music mostly, though!

Any recommendations for nostalgic games and/or apps for iOS 6?

(Experimenting with using more relevant hashtags by the way; after all, discoverability is our own responsibility in the Fediverse. Did this help? Is this annoying?)

So, it turns out that you need to overwrite the default firmware on the Chromebook in order to install one that will allow you to boot from external media and install an alternative OS.

My first attempt revealed that the manufacturer of this particular Chromebook had made the BIOS ‘read only’, but I learned that it was possible to bypass this by disconnecting the internal battery.

No big deal. I’ve had this thing apart before. Off to iFixIt I go:

So after some reading I found a site offering a pretty straightforward tutorial on how to jailbreak and install other OSs on Chromebook. Apparently people are installing Linux, Windows and even MacOS on these things!

https://docs.mrchromebox.tech

#RightToRepair #HardwareHacking #JailBreaking #Chromebook

Today’s fuckery:

A few years back we bought my son a Chromebook for his schoolwork. At the time it seemed like a good choice because the price was right and the limited specs meant that it would pretty useless for much else. (Focus on your schoolwork, kid!)

The Chromebook ended up getting slightly bent in my son’s backpack, which screwed up the touchpad. Alas, old Chromey ended up forgotten in the ‘pile of old crap I refuse to get rid of’, until one day I decided to do some searching into repairing the touchpad, which I was able to accomplish by ‘shimming’ out to warped case a little bit.

Then Google decided to end support for Chromebooks.

Well, today I dusted the old girl off and began with the question: can one install Linux on this thing?

Turns out, the answer is ‘probably’.

Hell yeah, let’s dig in!

Service providers make you dependent on updates and their own applications in order to maintain control over your devices.If you want to use your devices fully and freely, you can remove the restrictions imposed by your service providers.But from this point on, you step outside the comfort zone. You take all the authority and responsibility upon yourself.

#Jailbreaking The Amazon #EchoShow
Currently only two devices are supported by this #jailbreak, with the #EchoShow5 being the other one. If there’s enough interest, there doesn’t appear to be any technical reason at least for why this support couldn’t be extended to other devices. One major reason for jailbreaking is to put #LineageOS on your Echo device courtesy of these Echo Show devices recently beginning to show advertisements, with no way to disable this.
