The company’s statement further reassures that “Kindle devices released after 2016 with cellular connectivity use 4G and are not impacted.” However, it’s reasonable to expect that whenever 4G is phased out, those Kindle devices will lose their cell service, too.Īmazon is offering some consolation to affected 1st- and 2nd-generation Kindle users in the form of discounts and offers for new Kindles. “This includes Kindle Keyboard 3rd Generation, Kindle Touch 4th Generation, Kindle Paperwhite 5th/6th/7th Generation, Kindle Voyage 7th Generation, and Kindle Oasis 8th Generation.” Amazon even has a page that helps you confirm which Kindle you have. “Kindle devices launched between 20 will continue to be able to connect to the internet and Kindle Store using Wi-Fi only,” Amazon continued. They just won’t be able to download more.Īll other, younger Kindle models remain in the clear, because if nothing else they have Wi-Fi connectivity. I may borrow K3 from my public library, but that may take weeks.Kindle users who still have one of these older readers will still be able to use the content that is already downloaded to the device. Still we need someone with 3.4.2 on K3 to confirm TLS (and ) works. Wasn't able to compile SkipStone since it can't find "mozilla includes":Ĭonfigure: error: Cannot find mozilla includes - please use -with-mozilla-includes=path_to_mozilla_includes and specify a pathĭo you know why the author of SkipStone for Kindle won't support K3 or less? Which hack is the right one for Kindle DXi with 3.2.1 firmware I have a Kindle DX (white international edition 3G-only) from 2009 with YifanLu's 3.2.1 firmware - the one originally from Kindle 3 Keyboard. Best results so far I got from links/elinks ( ), a terminal-based web browser. Unfortunately the site I am aiming for () was horribly broken, wasn't able to log in, nothing. Speaking of x86 I was able to build it and run it, both GTK+ and framebuffer based on SDL v1.2 work - though diacritics in case of the latter was broken in framebuffer version. Looking at kindleupdater_source am I correct that the scripts are able to create those files which are in kindleupdater.zip? Update-Update_Īt least and hold significant updates (binary patches, and webkit library and browser binary, respectively). It was easy with 3.2.1→3.3 but the structure of 3.4 package is way different, I can't simply reiterate the old recipe on 3.4. Amazon requires ( ) Kindle 3 to go from 3.2 to 3.3, then to 3.4 and then to 3.4.2. I also managed to update from 3.2.1 to 3.3 with a help from the last comment at. ) But I don't see any USB net device via ifconfig -a. ![]() I was also able to install USBnet but it does not work for me. The "problem" with JB is gone, since I realized my frankenKindle DX had to be JB before I was even able to update it to 3.x. Should I build my own hack from " Snapshots of NiLuJe's hacks". Which one should I choose? Is my DXi now "K3"? And it would work, but it didn't for me when I tried. I read " Font, ScreenSaver & USBNetwork Hacks for Kindle 2.x, 3.x & 4.x" by NiLuJe but I am unsure which hacks (JB, USBnet) to use? If I was running the original DXi firmware (2.5.8), I'd choose: Update_jailbreak_0.13.N_dxi_install.bin. To do that I need to JB and USBnet my Kindle, so. If I am correct and the problem with 3.2.1 firmware is that it does not support TLS and 3.4.2 does, it may be necessary for me to somehow update to 3.4.2, or at least update libs related to WebKit. many websites disabled SSL and run TLS-only, which is not supported on 3.2.1 firmware.Ĭan someone with recent Kindle 3 Keyboard firmware (as of writing it's 3.4.2) visit and tell me what protocol is said to be supported in the "Version" section?Ĭan someone enter with 3.4.2 firmware and tell me whether they are able to see the homepage? I believe that because of POODLE, BEAST, and co.
