Hey... I'm a noob... I can't get it in diag mode. I mean is it supposed to remain connected via usb? cause even if use safely remove thing it will stil remain on usb mode on my laptop and when I restart everything is normal... that's what u do right?

[kubbur87]

@arheidis92 just disconnect it after renaming and then restart it

please kubbur87 help me, i got into developer mode on kinle 4 as you did, but once i tried to exit from that mode, i cant!! is it broke?? it is sort of blocked...help me please, how can i exit developer mode

[kubbur87]

@Somaupassant if its frozen you can try to hold the power button FOR FULL 20 SECONDS, record the time

to exit diagnostics mode go to exit, reboot or disable diags in the first menu -- disable diagnostics -- and press the left button on the 5 way button

[Somaupassant]

@kubbur87 thanks, i hold the power button for those 20 second and it worked. I exit from dev. mode sucessfully. Thanks a lot.

[kubbur87]

@Somaupassant this question has been answered in the description AND in the comments

but such a bright person you are couldn't figure that out by your self so here it is

to exit diagnostics mode go to "exit, reboot or disable diags" in the first menu -- disable diagnostics -- and press the left button on the 5 way button

[Somaupassant]

@kubbur87 not everyone can be defined as a bright person.... sorry xdd

@bilum put "w w w" before it, wouldn't let me post the link

[damongolding]

Do you have the original screen savers? I seem to have misplaced them...

[kubbur87]

@damongolding not at the moment, do you really want them back ?

[damongolding]

@kubbur87 Yeah I want some of them back, I just wanted to get rid of the ones I didn't like and replace them. I tried ripping them off the kindle but I kept running into permission problems.

how can i escape development mode?

[unlokia]

Also, how to enable "fastboot" (as used in Android development): tinyurlDOTcom/fastbootkindle4

[unlokia]

In Ubuntu/other Linux, you can create the "ENABLE_DIAGS" file by opening a terminal and:

$ touch ENABLE_DIAGS

Then drag "ENABLE_DIAGS" to the root of your Kindle 4.

@unlokia good point
