this is how to set a custom screensaver on the kindle 4 nontouch
here is a link to the commands http://pastebin.com/17czdUS7
the only reason i had the error when creating the screensaver folder was because it already existed

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

you have to restart every time you change something in the screensaver folder in order to get kindle to load the changes

I'm lost, not very tech savy etc but im following all the steps as far as 1:37 (noticed when i go into properties virtualboxedbridge driver isnt showing on the list but anyhow i go through and set everything exactly as in the video. Its after that i'm stuck, i downloaded putty but i don't get how to get the kindle to show up on the menu list under default settings.

Not sure what im doing wrong.

you are not supposed to go to propertis on the virtualbox, the adapter is called usb ethernet/rdins adapter

Follow directions, and I keep putting images, png, 600x800 into the screensaver folder and restarting, but no luck. Still getting the old screensavers.

try making the link again

also, you can see if there is any symbolic link on the system by typing ls -l in the console

So I've got version 4.1.0 and I can't figure out the root password. Any ideas?

Works like a charm. Mine is a UK non-touch Kindle 4, these instructions were flawless. Just a note to others here - once you've put images into the screensaver folder you need to restart the kindle before they will work. Some other people seem to be complaining about a white screen so maybe that's it.
