I've been following this project for a while; I've even contributed some reverse engineering work to it. (I bought one of the devices from dabs a while back). Note that the majority of the work has been done by Steve Kerrison and Antti Palosaari.

However, up until today I've been unable to use it as I didn't have a DVB-T2 signal. This changed on the 15th of June when Craigkelly's digital switchover was completed. Unfortunately the driver isn't available in mainline linux yet, so I've just forward-ported it to 2.6.39. The temp patch is available here.

It seems to work fine; I'm using (an unmodified!) tvheadend as a headend, and XBMC as a network client. Its a pity the actual content is still as poor :)

 Hi, a number of people have reported problems with my kindle devkeys 0.2 and the 3.1 firmware. I can't seem to replicate the problem here on two kindles (both K3GB - UK wifi+3G).

I've just reinstalled the latest jailbreak from mobileread. I then deleted my keystore from the device and reinstalled it from the zipfile downloaded from my adqmisc googlecode project. Result: works fine.

Obviously something is affecting some people though, but as I can't replicate it, I'm at a loss as to what it is. I can only suggest a few things to try out:


1) it could perhaps be some of the other files in the keystore directory. If someone wants to try sshing in and :

cd /var/local/java/keystore
rm .* *

That should wipe everything. Then reinstall my devkeys (the above will zap them) and try again.

Update: I've created a standard kindle update that will do these steps, available here. If you're using the latest jailbreak, you'll need to add "update_zapdevkeys" to the end of  "<Kindleusb>/linkjail/etc/whitelist, or the update will fail with a U007 error.

I can't guarantee it'll help as I can't replicate the problem, but its the only thing I can think of. You'll still need to reinstall my devkeys afterwards. Please let me know  either way!


2) Another thing springs to mind: check the date on the kif.azw2 file on the kindle's USB exported filing system; perhaps the kindle is checking this against the key somehow? 

Update: I don't think its (2) - just tried setting the date on the file to 1-jan-1970 and 1-jan-3000, but it still loads fine here.

Cool, looks like there's now a Kindle 3.1 jailbreak! See here.

Update: The latest jailbreak is available from the normal mobileread thread, here. I've confirmed it works with installing my devkeys.
