I can not change files on Jailbroken PW.
Please understand my poor description. I am a not navtive speeker.
I have tried to change file 't1_timeout' on newly jailbroken PW with WinSCP. But failed. I don't know why is that. I could successfuly changed that same file on Kindle Touch instantly after jailbreaking. Error Message was "READ-ONLY FILE SYSTEM." Thank you in advance.

It is my understanding that base-* mounts are supposed to be read-only. Use mmc, not base-mmc.

mount command to list the mounts and the current attribute settings. Use that information to make up the command to make the file system r/w. |

The rootfs has *always* been ro in every Kindle device.
It only switches rw for very, very short periods of time for certain events, and during the update process. (Also, why in the hell are you relying on the base-mmc mount? That's not even mounted by default in main o_O) EDIT: Besides, for what you're trying to do, I'd recommend using kdb set on the CLI instead of messing with the DB manually.

But this is a Paperwhite with its collection of loop mounted, ro file systems. I did not know if the path the O.P. wrote about was into one of the ro file systems, so I had to ask for the output of: mount |

Which reminds me: Yup, the KDB DB is in a loop mounted cramfs on the PW, so, yeah, use kdb set. [You'll probably have to remount said cramfs rw, though].

sorry about that. Whatever "kdb set" is, it must be doing its thing to a ram copy of the fs. Guess we will have to write up a HowTo on reading and re-building replacement cramFS systems. It is relatively easy on *nix but I understand that the Windows tools sort of suck. Note also (HEY - twobob): the vfat partition is now mounted "noexec". Just another challenge there at out smarting lab126. Last edited by knc1; 10-19-2012 at 01:54 PM. |

@knc1: Ah, thanks for the cramfs info!
Also, note that it's the base-us loop that's mounted noexec (and has been for a long time, AFAIR, that's not PW specific), the actual fuse mount on us is exec friendly . |

But already we are seeing posts about font changes on the Paperwhite: Code:
/dev/loop/4 /usr/java/lib/fonts cramfs ro,noatime,nodiratime 0 0 One starting point (with its included README file): http://sourceforge.net/projects/cramfs/ But the tools should be available with any Linux distro. I don't know if a cramFS image can be bspatched - I never heard of anyone trying it. Last edited by knc1; 10-19-2012 at 02:29 PM. |
